MOVES OF RIVAL IMPROVEMENT OUTFITS Ono Company I'lRurlnc to Head Off An- olhor In Iho 1'urctituo of tlio UrUlnff 1'ark J'rnct Soinn Individual Opinions Impressed. The publication of the recent developments In the northwestern part of tho. city have set a good many people thinking and trying lo figure out Just what IB In the wind. Un fortunately for tlio public's curiosity , most of the facts arc In the possession of ono man , and JIB does not seem particularly In clined to take the public Into his confidence. The fact remains , however , that extensive Improvements In that part of the city are projected , and evcr5 thing Indicates that the air of mystery will not surround the affair very much longer. Negotiations are now pending for the sale of the driving park. Some tlmo ago , It will be remembered , the East Omaha Land company secured an option on this property at fl.GOO .in aero It Is commonly supposed that the company did not mean to buy It , but was merely trying to to : It up , so that when the parties really Interested tried to get It , It could be unloaded at a handsome profit. The option expired , however , and the parties who wanted to buy , who hap pened to be the Union Land and Improve ment company , found some way of prevent ing the East Omaha , people from gett ng It renewed. It la given out ns a certainty , however , that the sale will be closed up , and that , too , In very short order. A party of surveyors has been for several days past running llnta along the property of the Union Ltind and Improvement coin- pany Just north of the levee. This Is only one of the circumstances that Invu made people think that something Is really going to happen A number of the Driving Park association and a stockholder In the motor company Is quoted by one of the- morning papers as hinting thai there Is nothing but wind In all the doings of the last fovv weeks , which have been written up at so much length In the news- papers , and he gives It as his opinion that the mammoth stock yards deal Is simply a fake , set In operation by Block yards com- pinlcs of South Omaha for the purpose ot Influencing politics by giving rise to the Im pression tlmt the stack yards of that city may bo removed to this sldo ot the river.

Judge Woolson Is proving himself a terror to evil doers , particularly those whoso deeds lie In the direction of bootlegging During his previous terms he has had a habit of ImpoMng a generous sentence on every man convicted of this sort of Infraction of Undo Sam's lavis , and then suspending the sen tence during good behavior of the convict His kindness has not been appreciated at Its face value by all of the men so dealt with , however , and many are coming back. Yes terday morning Bert Prinks and Lawrence Hunter stood before him for sentence. They had occupied that very same position at a former term. After talking to them upon the results of tampering with the govern mental regulations , Judge Woolson proceeded to give Frlnks a { 500 fine and a twelve months sentence In the Pottrfnattamle county Jail , and Hunter a line of $400 and nine months In Jail. These sentences are tar In excess of any that have heretofore been given In this court for such offenses , and coming on top nf the eight years peniten tiary sentence given a man a few days ago- , for sending obscene matter through the malls , are IlUcly to have the effect of deter ring a good many ptople from following In their footsteps. Harry fellows , said to be one of the worst crooks of Creston , was up for sentence. Ho has a bad reputation , having taken a re volver away from two policemen on ono oc casion while he was drunk and compelling them to dance or bo shot. They Uinced.

Canine ( ir.ultnda 'lowi-il n Doctor. Last Sunday Drs Coovcr and Bagot of this city and Dr. Marburg of Pueblo wcie seated , on the porch of the residence ot Dr. Coovor at 1231 Clarkson street , relates the Denver Republican , when a small water spaniel j walked up the thirteen steps from the side walk and threw herself on her left side at ! Dr. Coover's feet. It was at once observed that something was wroni ; with her right o > e. Examination shoncd that a polypus growth or tumor of the size of a hickory nut was attached to the Inner corner of the eye , covering the ejcball and protruding between the lids. Tlio assembled medicos at once decided on prompt action , and a skillful combination of antiseptics , cocaine , forceps and scissors soon restored complete vision to the recumbent pup. No human patient could have endured : tbo operation with greater fortitude. She did not even wince , and , save for a vvhlno when | the forceps were applied to arrest the hem orrhage , seemed. Indifferent as to what was being done When all was over , much to the delight of the ladles of the household , who had evinced a lively interest In the proceeding , she re mained at the house- , regaling hcisclf on bones , etc. , until about it p. m. , when she disappeared. On Monday morning as Dr. Coover was leaving the house , loud barking caused him to look around , to discover the patient of the previous day coming across the lots with every expression of delight. She threw- her self at his feet in precisely the same attitude adopted before The doctor called the attention of a neigh bor to the fact of her return , examined the eve , which was found to be doing well , and the dog again went oil. Up to the time S writing ( Thursday ) , she has not been seen again since. Colonel Chlrliifftoii's Intel mrnt. DENVER , Oct. 8. The remains of Colonel John M.
