Captain Anderson , superintendent of the
Yellowstone National park , was in .tho city
yesterday on his way back from an eastern
trip and visited army headquarters , Con
cerning the park the captain said that an ef
fort was being made to secure legislation
from congress which would add the Jack-
HOII'S Hole country to the park. The area
which it was proposed to talco In Is about
fifty miles square and contains Jackson's
lake bud the Three Tuton mountain peaks.
It is rich In natural scenery and would In
the opinion of thu captain add materially
to the park's attractiveness. Senator Car
ter of Montana has drafted a bill for that
purpose , which has the endorsement of thu
senators from Montana and Idaho , but the
'Wyoming senators have not yet been won
over.
Concerning the park Itself the captain
elated coni'iess would bo uslted for appro
priations to keep the roadn already built In
repair ami alee to construct eomo now
ones to make some of the most Interesting
portions of the park more accessible to
visitors. "During the year Just past , " said
the captain , "tho number of visitor * to the
park han been largely In excess of any pre
vious season , In fact , each succeeding year
Indicates an added popularity of the match-
lens scenic grandeur of the park. "

The , contest brought by the popocrats
against the republican members-elect of the
legislature has now been on the boards at
the Jackaonlan club for nearly a week. So
far inot Uie slightest fact of Irregularity or
fraud In connection with the election has
been raised. Numerous wltnenses have been
( Iticstloncd for houia , but If their examina
tion had any reference to Irregularities tha >
the attorneys for the contestants claimed tc-
have , knowledge of It hns not been apparent.
To the outsider the proceedings convey the
Impression that the contestants nre simply
fooling In the dark In n forlorn hope of dis
covering something that they may use to
bolster up their prctcnolons.
Chairman Lewis of the republican county
central committee was called yesterday after
noon nnd questioned for three hours In re
gard to tlio republican organization and
methods. Tne contestants endeavored to as
certain how much each of the republican
candidates had contributed to the campaign
fund , but the wltncea did not know. Mr.
Lewis tcstlflcil that about $1SOO In all was
raised by his committee for campaign pur
poses. Of tbla amount less than $500 passed
through his hands , and ns the funds were
In the hands of the treasurer ho was unable
to state how much had been expended. The
only ( juestlons In which any pccslblc irregu
larity was suggested were In regard to the
naturalization of voters , the contestants evi
dently wishing to make the point that the
committee paid for the flret papera of for
eign voters as an Inducement to them to vote
the republican ticket. In this connection
Mr. Lewis testified that ho had never asked
a single Individual who applied for an order
for naturalization pajvcrs how ho was going
to vote. Ily way of cross-examination the
attorneys for thn contcstces brought out the
manner In which the campaign fund had
been expended. The amount was practically
accounted for In wagca palil to challengers ,
the men who revised the registration lists
and other legitimate Incidental campaign ex-
pens . _

Yesterday morning Ed Peterson received a
scorching from Judge Scott of the district
court.
The case before the court was one In
which the Bruner Woolen company of Cin
cinnati sued A. O. Peterson for ? 40 on a
guaranty given by Peterson that he would
l > ay for a bill of goods purchased from
the woolen company by a son of Peterson's
doing business In a Texas town. The casi
was tried to the court , a Jury being waived
: ) > both parties. In proof of the claim that
I'cterson had agreed to guarantee the pay
ment of the goods , the plaintiff prescntct
two letters signed , "A. O. Peterson , " It
which the writer agreed to pay for the goods
in case the son did not do so. A. O. Peter
son went on the witness stand and denlei
[ hat he had written or signed the letters
Ed Peterson , the son of A. O. Peterson , wet
.hen put on the stund and testified that hi
lad both written the letters and signed lite
'athcr's name to them. He said ho line
acted without authority from his father.
At this point the court took a baud in the
natter and questioned the witness closel >
about the matter. Peterson changed lilt
actlca , claiming that ho had understood hi'
ather to tell him to write the letters and
sign them. Ho stuck to this line of testl
nony , and the court gave him the benefit.
of the doubt. Ho did not escape , however.
without getting a lecture which ho will
probably remember for some time. The
court plainly told him that ho had com-
nittcd a penitentiary offense if he had
signed the letters without authority.
The court said It would have to decide In
aver of the plaintiff In order to avoid ecnd-
ng the young man to the penitentiary.

The local clcctrlei Unlit company Is having
a good deal of trouble Just now In de
termining Its exact ) -whereabouts. It will
bo remembered thnt'ilurlng the recent ab
sence of Us president , S , L. Wiley , the di
rectors held an election and deposed Wiley ,
electing T. L. Klmball. Hut since Wiley
returned last wceM ho has continued to
occupy the president's desk at the general
office of the company * mid to all appearances
has continued to discharge the duties of that
position.Vlley lays ho Is president , and
the other officers of the company declare
that ho Is not , that he la not even an office
boy In the concern. This being the situa
tion , another meeting will bo held oome
time this week , at which some further ac
tion Is promised by the directory.
The officials who brought about Wiley's
alleged deposition are not willing to dis
cuss the present situation. They simply
assert that Wiley Is no longer president , but
that If he wishes to claim the position they
are willing that ho should be allowed to do
BO for a few dnys longer. They say that a
meeting will be held during the week and
Intimate that Wiley's exit will bo more
successfully accomplished at that time.
"I am Just sawing wood , " said Mr. Wiley
when hn wns asked to explain the apparent
complications of the situation. "Just drop
Into the office and you will see that I am
still president. As a matter of fact the
alleged election , held while 1 was away ,
wan merely a farce , as our clcotlona are
held In January , In any case my contract
runs for nnntlipr vpnr. "
In reference to the contract which was BO
successfully railroaded through the council
during his absence , Mr. Wiley said that he
did not approve of that sort of work. "I
am a citizen of Omaha , " ho said , "as well
os the president of this company. I own
property hero and will probably remain
here as long ns I live. As a citizen I pro
test against rushing through such an Im
portant measure before the people know
what It Is. That Is not my way of doing
business. I always want my fight before
hand , and then I stand right before the
people. There Is only one way In which
to make such a contract , and that Is to In
vite bids and then make the contract openly
nnd above board. "
There arc a few Individuals connected
with the city government who arc disposed
to discount the apparent row in the electric
light company. They allege that the deposi
tion of Wiley was n put-up Job for n certain
purpose , and that It will eventually be dis
covered that the entire proceeding was
mainly for effect.

Yesterday morning the police obtained the
first clew to the mystery surrounding the
robbery of Hlrschberg's pawnshop that oc
curred on the" night of December 1.
Early yesterday morning , while one of the
employes of a packing house in South Omaha
was unloading a far of coal , his shovel
brought to light a bllver watch. As he pro
ceeded with his work more watches wore
brought to the surface. In all twenty-one
silver watches were found , two gold watches
and several empty gold caset' . The watches
were brought to the police station , wnero
Pawnbroker Illrscllberg identified them In
varlons ways ns a portion of the property
which ho had in his safe on the night of the
robbery.
The coal car was left In South Omaha on
December 4 , three days after the Job was
committed. It had been standing on the side
track until yesterday morning , when It was
unloaded. All the watches wcro found near
the surface , burled beneath a slight stratum
of coal. The car was loaded with Iowa coal
nnd wag brought to South Omaha from eomo
lo.va point.
'
It Is not generally believed" by the
authorities that this clue will lead to any
satisfactory results. It Is thought that the
burglars ditched the watches ns the least
valuable of what they obtained , Inasmuch as
such rtolcn property Is dllllcult to dispose
of and then yicldo but little profit. H Is
considered probable , however , that some of
the other property may have been disposed ot
In the fame manner nnd therefore other cars
sent out from the same point from which
the South Omaha car came will bo searched.
Detectives will endeavor to locate all the
suspicious characters who were found loiter
ing about the car plnco the first of the month.
It Is Judged that If It can \ja \ learneJ just
-where the watches were put In the car the
route which the crooks took after their Job
can be learned.

BUILDING SAVED WITH LITTLE LOSS
Fire SiiiiiiNfil | ( o Have Started from a
or Clmirctto CarrlcMxly
Thrown Away \o liiMtir-
on
At noon yesterday eight horses were cither
burned to death or smothered In a board
ing nnd livery barn run by H. C. Alison , In
the rear of'iSIC Lenvenworth street.
The fire wns discovered flhortly after 12
o'clock by some or the employee. It was
then located in the northeast corner of the
two-story brick structure , and on the second
floor , where the hoises were stalled. Its
origin seemed to be In the heart of n great
mass of baled hay which occupied the cor
ner stall. The cause of the fire Is a mys
tery , but It Is believed that It was started
by n lighted cigar or cigarette thrown care
lessly down , although the two employes In
the building at the time aver that they
wcro not smoking.
When the blaze was discovered It hod n
good start , and the entire second story wan
lilted with great masses of thick smoke.
This prevented the rescue of the horses.
One was led out nnd the o' ert. were left
to their fate. Alter tlie lire had been ex
tinguished It was evident that Koine of the
animals had broken their halters and had
made frantic efforts to get away , but wcro
unable to find the exit. Others died In their
stalls.
The blaze was active when the firemen ar
rived on the srene , but the prompt action of
the department soon placed It under control.
Almost all the woodwork In the focand y'.ory
was damaged , but the names were confined
to this cctlou of the building. The IOKJ oir
the barn will not exceed ? 200. This will
fall upon cistern owners , for whom Brcnnan ,
Love & Co. ore ngents.
The lessee of the building nnd the proprie
tor of the business , H. C. Angon , will IOPO
but little. His property coiis-.slod of about
five tons of hay and wjvcnty-llvo bushels of
grain. Ho estimates his IOM at $100 , n ?
whatever portion of this feed was not
burned was ruined by water. The loss Is un
insured.
The greatest loss Is on the horses , valued
nt an average price of $100 each , making the
total $800. The animals belonged to the
following : A. J. Short , William Hulls ,
Robert Dempster , C. O. Underwood , J. Moore ,
Riverside Yeast company , Dr. Rebcrt and a
man who had left an animal for the purpose
of a sale.
It was considered fortunalc lhat the fire
started as early as It did , became If II had
began fifteen minutes later , a half dozen
more horses would have been In the stable
for their noon feed.

Show towns of the effete East are writhing in the con
vulsions of despair. The Feast of Mondamin , the Feast

ycar-round Show. For eleven years it has excited the
