Hardly Is one trouble ended whcr
another arises to harass the peace of tht
officials of the Union Pacific. This time II
Is a well authenticated rumor that the Oregon
gen Short Line & Utah Northern Rail
way company will shortly follow the lead ol
the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf and the
Oregon Railway & Navigation company and
osk for a separate receiver.
Advices come from New York that de
fault having been made In the payment ol
Interest duo April 1 , ISO I , on the consoli
dated mortgage bonds , and Interest due March
1 , 1831 , of the collateral trust bonds , a com
mittee composed of S. Peabody , II. S. Fltz ,
G. C. Leo and M. H. Jordan of Boston and
Howland Davles and W. 0. Oakland were
appointed Wednesday to protect the Interests
of the bondholders.
This Is , In all probability , the entering
wedge looking toward a receivership for
this system , which Includes 1,385.08 miles ol
standard guago and 39.74 miles of narrow
gauge tracks , touching Granger , Huntington -
ton , Pocatello. Silver Bow , Shoahone ,

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
No Diiiigrr at n Wnlk Out .Mr. Oldcon'A
hurprlso 1'iirty.
When the report readied Srti'h Omnha
yesterday that all the union butchers
Chicago \\ere about to strike It created much
anxiety on the part of the packers and stock
yards management here.
A reporter for The Bee went through the
different pacMng houses nnd talked to many
of the butchers. Not a single man talked
favorable to a walk out here. They seemed
to think that It would not assist the Chicago
cage strikers If they should quit work while
on the other hand It would In all probability
throw every man out of n Job who struck.
"We are perfectly satisfied here , " said one
ot the butchers as he stood in a group
where there were five or six fellow workmen.
"Tho only thing we are afraid of Is that
this strike will so Interfere with all kinds
of business tjiat we will not be able to get
In more than half time. The South Omaha
butchers certainly have no grievance and I
do not believe a dozen men could be
mustered to go out through sympathy under
the circumstances. Why don't those rail
road guys go out before they call on a
butcher ? The railroad men are the fellows
who have a grievance , not us. The rail
road men are running trains to haul soldiers
to shoot down their fellow workmen. As
long as the railroad gang sees fit to work
It looks pretty gaily to CJH on a poor
butcher to throw up a Job when he Is get
ting all the pay he asks and almost full
time at that. "
The strike has gone so far now that a
good many of the butchers will be laid off.
At Cudahy's only a small portion of
the gang in the hog killing department
worked after 10 o'clock. It is barely
possible that some of the men who
arc getting In short time will become dis
satisfied In a day or so and endeavor to
create a general walk out , but the level
headed butchers say there Is no danger
whatever of a strike here unless there Is a
local grievance.
School lloiird I'rrirrpilliigH.
The school board held a meeting last night
and dlscussqd proposed changes in the re
taining wall. Some of the members thought
it would be Just as well to not sink the wall
Into the ground two and one-half feet , while
others were In favor of carrying out the
original plans to the letter. Contractor
Parks was asked the cost of n change ,
but refused to give off-hand estimates.
It was proposed to change the style of the
cap of the wall also , but the whole matter
went over until next meeting.
Mr. Pearl made a kick on the manner
In which the work was assigned to the dif
ferent Janitors. He- said that If n ditch waste
to be dugIt was as fair for one man to go
down In1 the trench as another. . Ills Intima
tion was that Paul McAulcy , one of the
Janitors , was playing favorites.
County Superintendent Hill was present at
the meeting , but said he had merely come
down to look over the books and had
nothing to offer.
The board will have to buy some supplies
and a number of desks at once , and an ad
journment was taken until this evening at
8 o'clock.
Mr. fildron'x Surprise ! Party.
Mr. E. D. Gideon , president of the school
board , was given a happy surprise through
the arrangements of his I wife Wednesday
'
day evening. Mrs. Gideon In

turned from Albright , where he had been
conducting a prayer meeting , ho was con
fronted with the surprise. The evening was
pleasantly spent by all and at the proper
hour Mrs. Gideon served the guests with
light refreshments. It was the 31st anni
versary of the birth ot the host and during
the evening Rev. C. N. Dawson on behalf

Olllcer Sheelmn was called to the scene and
took the foot to Heafey's undertaking rooms
and notified Coroner Maul of his find.
One of the bones has the appearance of
being broken and splintered , while another
bono looks as though It had been sawed off.
These facts are taken ns Indicating that the
dog hud wandered near some hospital where
the surgeons were careless about the dis

NEW CANAL PROPOSITION
Accepted by the Company as Submitted by
the 8pcal ! Committed
CONDITIONAL ON KOUNTZE'S APPROVAL
Cnmpnny Will 1'oy Election ixpcmc Im-
porlnnt Otmrnntlr-n Hint Arc Mncto
I'llrt of Ilio Agrocmi-nt Clmnca In
Mnnner of raying llnmli.
After several weeks of negotiation there
Is now every prospect tliat the I'lntte river
canal proposition In an amended form will
bo lubinlttcd to the people at no distant
date. The original proposition submitted by
the canal company was considered too loose
to properly protect the Interests of the pee
ple. After some discussion n committee was
appointed to formulate on amended proposi
tion , which should contain no objectionable
feature and by which all Interests Involved
might bo iiiulclcntly fortified.
After two weeks of nlmo't continuous ses
sion the committee completed a proposition
which seemed to meet with the approval of
most of the members. This was presented
to the canal company , and at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon the company decided to
accept the proposition. This was on condition
of the approval of Mr. Kountzc , who was In
New York , and consequently unable to be
present at the meeting. Mr. Kountze was
Immediately wired of the action of his col
leagues and a reply Is expected from him
some tlmo today.
The proposition as accepted by the com
pany Is a somewhat formidable document
and the conditions of the agreement are
stated with considerable detail. One of the
conditions on which It was most dllllcult for
the committee to agree was that relating to
the capacity of the canal and the method to
bo employed In It ) measurement. As finally
agreed on , the proposition contends that the
canal shall have a capacity of 20,000-horse
power at the penstock and a delivering ca
pacity of 7,500 cubic feet per second. The
measurement Is to bo made from a point
three feet from the top of the canal banks.
CONCERNING THE BONDS.
The amount of bonds to be voted by the
county to the company Is the same as was
designated In the original proposition. Some
provisions have been added , however , as to
the manner In which the bonds shall be de
livered , which were Insisted on by the com
mittee. These are to the effect that the
company shall be paid $15,000 for each mlle
of the canal as It Is completed. This , calcu
lating on the estimate of forty miles as the
length of the canal , would make $600,000 to
be paid down during the construction of the
canal. The remaining $400,000 1 to be paid
as follows : ? 50,000 when the dam at he
Klkhorn river Is completed , $50,000 when
the basins and other works at the Platte
river are finished , $50,000 when the pen
stocks and other machinery at the Omaha
terminus are In position , $50,000 when the
water is turned Into the cinal , and the re
maining $200,000 when the power Is deliv
ered In Omaha and South Omaha.
Ono of the most Important changes
made by the committee was In ex
tending the limit of time at which
the plant could be purchased by the
county from ten to fifteen , years. Sir.
Kountze wanted the time extended to twenty
years , and a compromise was finally ef
fected on the fifteen-year basis. The agree
ment provides that when the county com
missioners decide to purchase the plant they
shall give notice to the canal company and
the value of the property shall be appraised
by a board of five appraisers , ono of whom
shall be selected by the commissioners , one
by the canal company and the other three
by the Judges of the district court. In ap
praising the property no franchise shall betaken
taken into consideration and the $1,000,000
In bonds donated by the county shall be de
ducted from the purchase price. None of
the appraisers can bo residents of Douglas
county. '
Another stipulation Is that the work of
construction must be begun not later than
October 1. next , and that at least
$75,000 must be expended in construction
before June 1 next.
It has also provided that the company shall
construct permanent bridges over' ' the canal
at each public highway. Such power as
may be required by the county Is to be fur
nished free of charge and power Is to bo
furnished the city for electric lighting pur
poses at a fixed rate , on condition that the
city furnish its own dynamos. It Is claimed
that this rate Is low enough so that the cost
of public and private lighting can bo ma
terially reduced In case the city decides to
take advantage of the proposition ,
CITY MAY HAVE WATER.
Another proviso gives the clty" the right
to take water from the top of the canal for
domestic and public uses at a uniform rate
of $2 per million gallons.
The rate to be charged by the company
Is regulated by a sliding scale , which runs
from $22 to $50 per horse power per annum.
In this connection the company agrees to de
liver power In any part of Omaha or South
Omaha where it may be given a franchise to
lay Its wires.
The county commissioners have as yet
received no official notice of the acceptance
of the proportion , and this Is not expected
until Mr. Kountze Is heard from. It Is be
lieved that Mr. Kountze will agree with the
other stockholders , and If that is the case
the next step will bo taken with but llttlo
delay. One of the conditions on which the
commissioners succeeded In carrying their
point was In regard to the expense of the
special election. In accepting the propo. i-
tlon the canal company agreed to pay this ,
and as soon as It files Its bond to carry out
Its agreement In this respect the commis
sioners will pass the necessary resolution
calling the election.

Swliullid Hunk.
Two months ago the First National bank :
of this city was commenced out of $33.20 ,
but. the matter was never called to the at
tention of the police until yesterday , which
fact makes It next to Impossible to locate
the party who did the work.
On May 22 , a young man giving tno nnme of
L. II. Bardell , and saying that lie resided In
Lincoln , called at the bank , and presented a
United States express money order for $33.20 ,
and requested It cashed. The order was pay
able to E. D , Saunders , but was not1 en
dorsed. The paying teller refused to take
the order until It was properly endorsed , and
until the party presenting It had been Identi
fied. Later In the day the young man re
turned to the bank , and after making the
proper showing , got the cash , after which ho
disappeared. How the order was secured Is
a mystery to all of the bank and express
olllclals , though they are of the opinion that
It was stolen from the malls.
The police claim that Bard.cH Is the same
boy who robbed the mall box at the State
hotel , and who afterword stole a bicycle
from In front of the government building.

In the federal court Judge Dundy yester
day afternoon decided the case of the Flourney
Land and Cattle company , brought against
Major IJcck , the Wlnnobago Indian agent at
Pcndcr , to restrain him from dispossessing
the cattle company and the squatters who are
holding under and by virtue of sub-leases.
Soma years ago the cattle company leased
something like 37,000 acres of lands on the
reservation from the Indian tribe , after
wh'lch a quantity1 of land was sub-let to
squatters and men from outside the agency.
The lease was for a long period of years and
things went along smoothly enough until
a few months ago , when the agent com
menced ejectment proceedings In the United
States court , making the cattle company
and the squatters the defendants. Soon
after that the case was argued before Judge
Dundy on an application for an Injunction
to restrain the agent from acting In the
premises.
Yesterday , In passing upon the case , the
court held that the agent would be restrained
from calling upon , the government for troops
to remove or eject the parties now holding
possession under the original or the sub
sequent leases. The effect of this decision
is that all of Hie parties now upon the
reservation will bo allowed to remain until
the United States takes another turn at the
law. The case will be at once carried to
the United States circuit court of appeals
for a final hearing.

California N Loyal.
Mr. M. Llchtcnsteln , one of the proprietors
of the San Francisco Evening Post , Is In
the city on his way home after a seven
weeks' absence. He stated to a Bee re
porter yesterday that he did not feel at
all alarmed over the reported Insurrection
at Sacramento. "Tho people of California , "
said Mr. Llchtenstcin , "ore extremely ex
citable , but they are always loyal. They
are always looking for a fight and always
avoiding one. They talk a great deal , but
do little when It comes to violence or dls-
obcdlenco to the lawful authorities. I feel
confident that the ditching of the train
near Sacramento yesterday was the work of
a lawless clement that has assembled v.lthln
the vicinity of the coast cities within the
past year. I have lived In San Francisco
for thirty-four years and In all this fine
I have never seen so many tramps and
bums In that city as durlnc the last winter.
We have sent them away by thousands , and
for every thousand shipped out another thou
sand has come. In to take their places. I
have no doubt but that the Sacramento out
rage by which the engineer and fireman
and three soldiers iof the regular army lost
thplr lives was tho/ work of this class of
bummers. They were not citizens ot Cali
fornia , although our state- will have to as
sume the responsibility i they have thrown
upon us. Tho'Callforntan is just as patriotic
and just as loyal as any citizen of the coun

o
Death of n Vriprnii.
Ono of the few remaining veterans who
participated In the memorable engagements
of the war of 1812 died In this city at an
early hour yesterday. The deceased was
Jacob Llnlnger , who for the past eight years
had resided with his son , Jacob Llnlnger ,
Jr. , at 1601 Frederick street.
Mr. Llningcr was born in Pennsylvania In
1797 and was scarcely 10 years of age when
he left home to join General Scott's com
mand. He fought at Chlppewa and Lundy's
lane , where he was complimented by his
superior officer for gallant service. He re
mained In the army until after peace was de
clared , when ho was honorably discharged.
The son at whose homo he died Is 54 years
of age and Is the youngest of twelve sons
of the deceased. Ho Is employed by the
Burlington railroad. Mr. Llnlnger was for
merly also employed by tho. same oorporatlgn ,
but during recent years had become so feeble
and had grown weaker until ho passed away
yesterday from sheer old age.
The funeral will be held at the residence
at 10 o'clock today , after which the re
mains will be Interred nt Forest Lawn.
Viaduct on I'lro.
The Sixteenth street viaduct caught fire
yesterday , and for a time it looked as
though the structure was .doomed to go
up In smoke. The chemical from No. 3 and
ono of the engines was called out , and soon
the ( lames were extinguished. It Is sup
posed that the fire started from the dropping
of a lighted cigar. _ _

DEMOCRATS HOLD A MEETING
Disciueton. aa to When State Nomination
Should Bo Made.
SENTIMENT ON THE CONVENTION DAT !
Free Jbllrpr FCO\TR | | Hunt nn Iurly ?

Stnto Coniinlttco d. Sterling Morton
Confer * lth l.ocul Lender * .
J. Sterling Morton , secretary of agrt
culture In President Cleveland's cabinet , re
turned to Nebraska City yesterday aftc
a night's stay at the Paxton. During lit :
brief visit to Omaha the secretary held ar
Informal conference with the democratic
party of this city , or rather , with the otib
branch ot the party that he Is willing to rcc
ognlzo In his ofllclnl capacity.
Among the eight or ten gentlemen prcscn
wore Euclid Martin and C. S. Montgomery
and the coming campaign In this state wns
pretty freely discussed. A report of the de
bate Is not nt hand , but It Is stated on wha
may be considered reliable authority that the
sentiment In favor of an Immediate call fo
a meeting of the state central committee wai
not noticeable for Its prominence.
It was developed during the conversation
that Chairman Martin had addressed a per
sonal letter to each member of the comltteec
In which ho referred to the fact that there
had been a demand for an early mcetlni.
of the committee and nn < early convention
Mr. Martin renucsted each member of the
committee to give his personal views freely
and without reserve. Twenty-five replies
were received , and of this number nlnetcei
expressed themselves emphatically as being
opposed to a meeting of the state centra
committee , while six Insisted that the chair
man call the committee together. The
names of the nineteen who favored a late
committee meeting are kept In the dark
but the names of the six were all attachci
to the call for the recent silver conference
Secretary Morton contributed to the dis
cussion some Information relative to n pe
tition which Is now being circulated in Lin
coln nnd which is Intended to relieve the
chairman of the state committee of any
embarrassment he may be laboring under
with reference to the call for the meeting
This petition Is expected to be made public
within a few days.
IN THE FIGHTING FIRST.
Church Howe was In the city Wednesday
but ho Insisted that his visit had nothing
whatever to do with politics or with the
settlement of the strike. Consequently , It
Is presumed that the Ncnuiha statesman
came to Omaha for the purpose of taking a
bath In the limpid waters of Courtland beach
It Is well known that Ilowc has the wires
pretty well Insulated for an attack upon
the congressional convention which Is to
meet at Nebraska City next month. Ho
claims that It Is already settled that neither
Judge Chapman or Jesse B. Strode of Lin
coln can secure the nomination , and consequently
quently It lies between himself and Church
Howe.
The republican situation In the First dis
trict Is pretty well diagramed by Charles
Magoon of Lincoln , who was In
Omaha yesterday on business con
nected with the Capital National bank
cases In the United States courts
Mr. Magoon Is a warm supporter of Judge
Strode , nnd one of the delegates to the con
gressional convention. He says that the
situation has resolved Itself to the point
where Judge Chapman will use his utmost
endeavors to defeat Judge Strode. On the
other hand , the Lancaster delegation pro
poses to see that Judge Chapman does not
secure the coveted honor. Owing to the
peculiar apportionment In the First district ,
it Is hardly possible for either Chapman or
Strode to secure thp nomination without the
solid vote of Cass and Lancaster counties
in the convention. Consequently , the chances
for a third candidate arc becoming more
brilliant as the fight between Strode and
Chapman becomes warmer. The second
choice of the Lancaster delegation will be
divided between Church Howe , Judge Hayward -
ward and J. C. Watson , with the majority
of the delegates favoring Church Howe. So
says Mr. Magoon.
Changing the subject , Mr. Magoon stated
that he was very glad that the receiver of
the Capital National bank had commenced
suit against the stockholders of that defunct
Institution to recover some $207,000 of divi
dends Illegally declared and paid while the
bank was in Hie palmiest days ot Its erratic
career. To Mr. Magoon , who Is the at
torney for D. E. Thompson and a number of
others of the stockholders , this proves that
there is at least $207,000 which Mosher did
not get away with. The bank's assets , as
estimated , by Receiver Hayden , already
amount to something like $988,000 and the
dividends paid to the stockholders , accordIng -
Ing to the suits brought by the receiver , will
swell the assets to over $1,000,000. This
Is somewhat in excess of the liabilities of
the bank and goes far to prove that perhaps
after all Mr. Mosher Is not as black a man
as his enemies have painted him.

LOW TABLES.
Although the Ixnils Qulnzo han given
jlrth to more monstiosltles than any other
Btylo since Francis I. , It Is nevertheless ,
the father of some shapes of exquisite
beauty.
Among such Is this White Enamelled
Tea Table , with Its gold mounts and mould
tigs. It seems a simple thing to plan a
table Given four legs and a top , and the
problem almost performs Itself.
Yet study the lines of this bit of Louis
XV. designing. U Is a wonderful lesson
n curves and seipentlncs. Even the box
framing Is attuned to the great harmony.
Jvcry part Is expressive of the ono ecu-
ral Idea.
To eay that such a table Is worth FIVH
TIM138 the price of a commonplace pat-
ern Is to utter a truism which every re
cognized authority admits , but which only
clever furnishers carry Into practice.
