The local death of the Union Depot com
fiany was the subject of an Important cor
fcrenco held between the legal represents
tlvcs ot the Union I'aclflc and those of th
n. & M. railroads yesterday. The meet
ing was held at the Union Pacific headquarters
tors and the attorneys present were : Genera
Solicitor Kelly and Asnlstant General So
llcltor Carroll of the Union Pacific rallwa
and General Solicitor Mandcrson and Assist
ant General Solicitor Kclby of tbo 11. & M
railroad.
Speaking of llio matter that was tbo sub
Jcot ot the conference President S. II. II
Clark of the Union Pacific yesterday sali
to a lice reporter : "Tho Union Depot com
pany Is now dead to all Intents and purposes
but It will not. die legally for some tlmo yet
It will first bo necessary to secure order
from both the federal and state courts bolero
lore all the business of the company can bi
wound up. Wo shall do this as rapidly ai
possible and close up the business of tin
company at the earliest possible date. "
The beat means of closing up the .business
of the company ami of securing the roqulslti
court orders was the subject of the legal
conference , which lasted the entire morn
ing. At Its clcse , It was stated that ar
rangements for securing the orders from the
court at once had been made. It Is thought
that It will take about six months to wind
up the company's business. The reason
that the court must bo appealed to and sc
much care exorcised Is due to the fact that
tbo Union Depot company Is a rathct
wealthy concern , owning the great bulk ol
the property at and about the corner ol
Tenth and Mason streets. This property
has bean held by the Union Depot company
during Its existence , the company acting as
trustee for tlie Union I'aclflc arul Burlington
railroad companies. Tbo object of carrying
the matter Into the courts Is to have the
court order that the property hold by the
depot company , which originally belonged to
the Burlington , revert to that company , and
the property that was owned by the Union
1'aclflo before the formation of the Union
Depot company bo returned to the Union
Pacific.
When the court has Issnued the necessary
orders , each railroad company will then
hnvo back In its own hands the property It
once gave over to the Union Depot com
pany as trustee. With the property It
will thus acquire from the defunct depot
company and the additional ground that It
has purchased , the Durllngton will have
Buniclent land on which -to construct Its
own depot , with the title to all fit It clear
and In Its own hands. What the Union
Pacific will do with Its share of the estate of
the late Union Depot company has not yet
been determined.

"it"Is "rep'orted from Wichita , Kan. , that
the-Union Pacific Is negotiating for thepur
chase of that patt of the 'Frisco road known
as the Kansas Midland , running from
Wichita to Ellsworth , a distance of 103
miles. Asked If there \\cro any truth In
the report , President Clark of the Union
Pacific yesterday shook his head anil
said : "There's nothing In it. Wo could nol
buy the road If wo wanted to. We are not
In a position where wo could. "
The Kansas Midland was formerly a part
of the Santa Fe system. It Joins four rail
roads at Wichita , and crosses a half dozen
between Wichita and Kllsworth , President
Clark admitted that It would bo a mcnt valu
able feeder for the Union Pacific , but em
phasized the point that the Union Pacific
could not buy the road no matter how de
sirable It might be.

Members ot the council committee 01
viaducts and railways are considering a poll
tlon from Farnam street residents asklni
that the Omaha Street Hallway compan ;
shall bo compelled to Issue transfers fron
the Farnam to the South Omaha line. Thi
petitioners arc In business In South Omahi
and are cow compelled to pay 10 cents cacl
way going back and forth.
A street railway ofllclal Is authority foi
the statement that the request will b <
granted If It can bo done without opening i
way for Imposition on the company. Thli
ofllclal says that some people have a vcrj
erroneous Impression In regard to the trans
ter system. "As a matter of fact , " he as
serfs , "tho company does not want a 10
cent faro. The object Is to carry passenger !
from any part of the city to another for
cents , but there are numerous cases in whlct
a transfer system would be liable to abuse
For Instance , wo do nol transfer from the
South Omaha line to the cross-town line
going north and there Is a good deal ol
objection on that account. Now , that Is nol
because the company does not want to carrj
icoplo from South Omaha to North Twenty-
'ourth street for one fare. A person might
como up from South Omaha , transfer to the
cross-town line at Sixteenth and Leaven-
worth , again to Dodge , street , from Dodge to
South Thirteenth street , from thereto Har-
icy street , and from Harney street back tc
South Omaha. The numerous transfers at
short Intervals would afford opportunity to
do any ordinary business uptown , and the
passenger would thus bo able to travel tc
) maha , transact his business and go back
o South Omaha on a single nickel.
"People are very quick to tumble to such
a snap and in less than a week every South
Omaha patron would bo working it. Only
a year or two ago the people out at Benson
vero coming down town and back on theme
mo fare that they paid on the stub line anO
t was found necessary to knock oft a transfer
o put a stop to the Imposition. It people
vlll take pains to look Into the matter they
vlll discover Uiat In every Instance where a
ronsfer Is not allowed It Is because the
conditions are such that the company Is
ompelled to refuse It to.avold being worked. "

Yesterday morning1 one of the elevators In
the Now York Llfo building dropped four
storlss , but , fortunately , there was no one
Injured. Tlio car was occupied by several
people , who escaped with a shaklnc up and
a scate.
The elevator that broke Is the north ore
of the two on the west side. It went up all
right to the third Iloor of tbo building , and
stopped. II 'then plunged downward and
landed In the pit in the basement. Its down
ward course , was , however , somewhat
checked by tbo cables , so that it might bo
said to have slid , rather than fallen. To
this Is due tlio fact that none of the passoji-
gers wcro Injured.
The cause of the accident la assigned tea
a broken cylinder. After It occurred the
elevator pit was flooded with water and It
was found necessary to ball this out. Whllo
this was going on the elevators were all
stopped and the occupants of the building
were required to walk to their offices. The
damage was partially repaired in a short
time , so that a couple of the elevators could
again bo put In operation.

FIGHTING FOR THE BALLOT !
Donglas County End of the Recount Cos

ARGUMENTS BEGUN BEFORE JUDGE KEYS01
CnnntKtitlnnnlH- the I.IMV I'rovlil
( or a Itccount tit the Votcn
Cunt tit the Inut Klcc-
I lion Is Attacked. | t
The application for an Injunction to re
strain County Clerk Ilcdfleld from eenJIn
to the secretary of state the ballots cast a
the last election on the constitutional amend
ments and the poll books ot this count ;
was heard by Judge Keysor yesterday.
In the opening argument In the cast ) th
attorney for Phil E. Winters , who Is th
plaintiff , confined himself to arguing on th
constitutionality of the act providing for th
appointment ot a commission to recount thi
ballots and Instructing all county clerks ti
forward ballots and poll books to the sec
rctary of state. Ho took the position tha
the act Is unconstitutional for three reasons
viz. : Because It Is amendatory ot cxtstlnf
sections of the statutes , but does not rcpea
thcso sections ; because It confers upon thi
governor and upon the commission to bi
appointed by him under the act Judlcla
powers ; and also because It seeks to reviev
thu decision of the county canvassing board
In discussing tlio first proposition the attar
ncy argued that the new -conflicts wltl
tbo sections of the statutes which provide
the manner of voting upon constitutions
amendments and tha manner In wlvlcl
the election boards shall canvass salt
votes and decide upon the Intent oi
the voters , and Is also In conflict with thi
factions of th ? statutes , which require tin
county clerk to retain In his office for om
year , securely sealed , the ballots and pal
books cat't at any election. Ho arguec
that the act Is In direct conflict with th <
provisions of these sections , but does no !
amend them or repeal them , therefore belnf
In conflict with the provision of the con *
stltutlon which provides that all acts shall
clearly sat forth all sections amended 01
repealed. On the second point , ha arguet
that the act Is unconstitutional because II
confers upon the executive of the state ant
upon the commission appointed by him
the power to determine the Intent of the
voter. It was alleged that this power It
Bestowed by existing statutes upon the
ludgea of election and cannot be conferred
jpon the commission authorized by the act
in question. It was also claimed that the
act conferred upon the governor and the com
mission the power to decldo whether the
amendments had been adopted , thereby con
ferring upon the governor judicial functions ,
a power vested by the constitution In the
udlclary. On the third point , that the act
s unconstitutional because It seeks to re
view the decision of tha county canvassing
) oard , the attorney argued that when the
county canvassing board had performed Its
duties and declared the result ot the vote ,
ts powers wcro exhausted and Its actions
and findings were final and cannot bs re
opened by. that board or any other body.
10 argued that the effect of the act under
llscussion would bo to reopen the whole
question , which he claimed to be contrary
o all existing statutes.
FOR' ' THE STATE'S SIDE.
At the conclusion ot the argument the
attorney general asked If that was the only
Ino of argument to be made , but counsel
for the plaintiff declined to state Whether
ho other points In the petition would be
ouchcd upon later. Attorney General
Smyth thereupon took up the argument tor
the defense. He confined the first stage
ot his argument to the question of the right
of the plaintiff to appear In court , alleging
hat It had not been shown that the plaln-
Iff had any right by which he could i&aln-
aln an action for an..lnunctlon. ] Ho quoted
rom a number of authorities to show that
ha plaintiff in an Injunction suit must show
hat he would suffer "great or Irreparable
njury" by the carrying out of the * act
sought to be enjoined. He claimed that the
petition In the case at bar did not allege
"ithcr great or Irreparable Injury , but sim
ply sst out as a cause of action that the pe-
Itlonor was a taxpayer and would bo Injured
> y tlio cxpensj to bo Incurred by the carry-
ng out ot the provisions of the act In quea-
lon. The attorney general pointed out that
ho petition does not seek to restrain the
appointment of a commission or the payment
of ? 4 per day to each of the
Ix members. but simply seeko to
njoln the clerk of Douglas county from
omplylng with the provisions ot the act.
! < quoted from a number of decisions of the
Nebraska supreme court to show that the
ourt has hold that the petition must show
hat the petitioner will suffer substantial
amago from the enforcement of the act
ought to bo enjoined , and argued that the
aso should bo dismissed because the petl-
lon docs not comply with this rule.
Upon the question of constitutionality , the
ttorney general said that the supreme court
ias laid down the rule that where an act
; an bo construed to be good law , even
bough a forced construction Is necessary In
rder to do this , such construction muot be
) ut upon It. Ho urged that the court should
pply this rule to the case at bar.
Taking up the point that the act Is un-
onstltutlonal because It conflicts with the
rovlblons requiring the county clerk to keep
11 ballots securely sealed In his office for
no year after an election , the attorney
eneral took the position that these sections
ofcr only to ballots cast for candidates for
ofilco and have no reference to ballots cast
upon constitutional amendments.
At the afternoon session Attorney General
Smyth continued his argument , contending
that tbo act was clearly constitutional and
not In any way In conflict with existing
statutes. He quoted from many decisions
of the Nebraska supreme court to sustain
his claims of constitutionality , taking up
seriatim each of the arguments advanced by
opposing counsel , and quoting from the au
thorities to support his position ,
Attorney for the plaintiff contended for
the position taken In the petition. He took
up the arguments of the attorney general
and quoted from other authorities to sus
tain the position against the constitutional
ity ot the now law.
Attorney General Smyth followed and the
case was closed , Judge Keysor taking the
matter under advisement.

The appearance ot the distinguished for

had hauled the Burlington's fast mall trail
to the Missouri river. Ho had spent th
night and the morning in the cabs of th
four engines which hustle the government'
mall train from Chicago to Omaha , Thougl

As clerk ot the Australia court , It la abso
lUtcly essential that he be there when cour
opens on the morning of April 1. Should hi
miss the steamer Alamcda ho will have ti
wait In San Francisco three weeks bcfon
the next steamer for Australia will sail. Hi
said that ho had been visiting at his horn
III England , anil that hnd weather and adverse
verso winds had put him behind his tlmi
schedule. Ho left home , as ho thought-
ample tlmo to reach his steamer , but thi
st6amcr Umbrla , on which ho was a passen
ger , was a day late In arriving in Now York
and ho reached there just six hours too lati
to catch the last regular train that wouli
take him to San Frajiclsco on tlmo.
He took the Pennsylvania Limited to Chicago
cage , .arriving there at midnight Monday
Ho should have reached that city nearly twi
hours earlier In order to have caught tin
last passenger train that could do him anj
good. There was but one train left and Urn
was the Burlington's fast mall , which let
Chicago at 3 yesterday morning. There are
strict regulations against the transportatloi
of any passengers on this train , which con

Chicago wore appealed to , Mr. Hooke ex
plaining to them the ImptMtanco ot haste or

bo extending a courtesy to the Australian

The officials finally agreed to allow him tc
ride In the cab of the engine of "The Fas !
Mall" between Chicago and this city. There
was no room In any of the mall cars for
Um and government regulations would have
prevented him from riding there if there had
boon rcom for him. Mr. Hooke spoke very
kindly of the courtesy extended to him by
Superintendent Troy and the Burlington of
ficials , and said that If It had not been for
them ho should not have been able to reach
his destination In time. Mr. llooko willingly
gave up the fireman's seat In the Burlington

locate them In this city. A committee Is 'to
bo appointed to look after the matter. Sec
retary Utt Is the chairman and Is to select
his two associates.
The Indian supply depots are now located
In Chicago and New York. Three years ago
the Commercial club almost succeeded in
having the former brought to this city , but
were frustrated by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Browning , who Is an Illinois man ,
and was , therefore , Interested In having one
depot retained In Chicago.
The club will argue two points of advan
tage that will accrue from the removal. Ono
Is Omaha's accessibility to the Indian res
ervation. The other Is that the railroad
transportation of supplies will cost the
government much less If the depots are lo
cated hero. At present the supplies are
shipped to New York or Chicago , and then
again to the west.
The depots , It Is argued , would be of con
siderable benefit to Omaha. The government
spends annually $10,000,000 for Indian sup
plies. The location ot the depots here ,
stocked with the goods , would be equivalent
to a bis warehouse. Moreover. Omaha mer
chants , It Is urged , would have an oppor
tunity to bid on supplies. They are unable
to do so at present , as the freight charges
In shipping tbo goods to Chicago or New-
York If their bids arc accepted cat up the
profits.
A communication was received from Sena
tor Thuraton acknowledging the request of
the club that ho uoo his efforts to secure the
location of foreign vlco consulates In ibis
city. Congressman Mercer a short time ago
promised to do all he could In the mattur.

The Gorman-Americans of this city or
Intending to cut a pretty wide swath In th
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. It their plane
which are still In n somewhat embryotl
state , reach anywhere near the frultloi
which It la hoped they will , the German
will have one ot the big features ot th
show.
The start was made last Sunday after
noon In Germanla hall , where a Joint meet
Ing was held for tbo ostensible purpooo o
bringing about , a union of the differed
German societies of the city. After tin
transaction of some routine business tin
meeting simmered down Into an oxposl
tlon gathering , and there the plans wcri
hatched. That the members arc In carncs
was evidence. ; ! by the appointment of tin
following committee on ways and menu
and arrangements : Phillip Andres. Or
Peter Schwcnk , Jacob Houck , George Helm
rod and Robert 0. Kink.
As so far considered tbo plans proposi
that the German.Americans shall be glvci
a considerable space on the cxposltlor
grounds. Upon this Is to be erected one mulr
building or auditorium , which will bo ueei
principally for meeting purposes. About this
are to bo clustered a number of smalloi
buildings. The present Idea Is to have these
conform to the architecture of Germany-
structures one or two stories In height , wttli
thatched roofs. In these and smaller build
ings It Is Intended to reproduce some ol
the llfo of the " "
"Fatherland. The little
manufactories In the Black Forest , whose
products are known all over the world , will
bo represented. These will show the old-
fashioned processes ined In making the
wooden clocks and other woodenware , the
grinding ot grain , the making of meer
schaum pipes and the many other manu
factures that will Interest the general Amer
ican public. The articles so made will be
offered for tale. One of the smaller buildings
would bo transformed Into a tavern con
ducted on the German plan.
The largo or main building Is Intended to
bo used for meeting purposes. It Is pro
posed to give a day to some one or other of
the different German societies , upon which
a turnfest or a saengcrbund or some other
such festivity might bo held. It Is thought
that If some such scheme as this 'la ' started
It would not be difficult to get some of the
large , and that oven the national gatherings
of German societies might bo obtained.
Dy setting asldo some such German day
every two weeks or so It Is believed that a
goodly portion of the transmlsslsslppl German
population at least could bo Induced to at
tend the big show. It Is estimated that In
the states adjoining Nebraska Iowa , South
Dakota , Missouri , Kansas there are In the
neighborhood of 500,000 German-Americans.
It Is thought that 200,000 of these might be
attracted to the city.
The committee in charge has not yet
mapped out a plan by which the necessary
finances can be raised , but Dr. Schwonk , one
ot the committee , has been pushing a scheme.
He proposes to form a company , duly Incor
porated under the laws of the state , which
shall have a board of directors to have the
matter In charge. The stock In the company
will bo $1 a share , payable In quarterly as
sessments. Some such plan will undoubtedly
bo adopted by the committee in the near
future.
WII.I. J3XIIIIIIT AT TUB EXPOSITION.
of CpNiinla Club Preparing
Their IMiiliM.
The regular monthly meeting of the Ne
braska Ceramic club was held In the Young
Men's Christian association building yes
terday. The club has already commenced
planning for an elaborate exhibit at the
TransmlssUslppl Exposition. This has so far
been confined to a general discussion of In
dividual Ideas , but a definite line of prepara
tion will bo taken up at an early date. Just
at present the members are most Interested
In the annual exhibit of the club , which will
be given April 10. It Is expected that this
will be one of the most successful exhibitions
yet given. One of the features will bo a sale
of hand-painted teacups. Each woman
visitor will be served with a cup of tea In a
handsomely painted cup , which she will be
allowed to retain at a nominal price.

.the Crop IN Slioi-l.
There are numerous Indications that th
local Ice combine Is getting ready to perpetrate
trate Us annual hold-up on the public. I
lias been generally undsrstood that during
: ho cold snap In January the dealers hai
jcen able to secure nil the ice they nocdci
'or the season's business. Hut this wai
rigorously denied by the dealers , who de
ilared that another cutting was absolute ! }
lecessary In order to afford them a sutn
: lent supply. According to their represen
: atlons they were waiting to make another
> nslaught on the Ice when It was of suffl-
: lent thickness , and unless they obtalnei
mother crop the supply would again be
ihort.
Tbo assertions of the dealers are strangely
nconslstent with the existing conditions
Vftor tlio first freeze last week the water
vorks engineer reported to the down town
ifllce of the company that there were six
ir seven Inches of ice on the basins. Slnco
hen tbo weather has continued to make Ice
, iid the water company odlclals state thai
t Is now fully ten Inches thick. But not
in Ice dealer has touched It. Dealers
lalm to be. short on Ice , but at the same
line refuse to take It when nature has
irovlded It , Parties who say that they are
n a position to * know , declare that the
irovlous claims of a. short supply were
iicrely promulgated for thp purpose of male
ng a showing as an excuse for holding
ip the rates to the s ° amo exorbitant figure
hat was In force last year.

will be lower at The Nebraska this Spring.
A year ago we didn't think this possible , but
we have made it possible and the proofs are here.
A great achievement , too. Beating our own record
by ten to twenty per cent is something to be proud
of when last year's prices are considered , for every
body thought last year that we had struck bottom
reached the lowest possible notch. Looking in our
windows today you will see examples of close buy
ing and close selling that no other house in America
can show. You will see goods that the best stores
in America would be glad to buy at our selling price.
And should the thought occur to you that the prices
are too low to insure good wear you have only to
look back and think that you never got anyhing at
The Nebraska that didn't wear. One of the first
things we put into our clothing is wear. We handle
nothing that we cannot guarantee to wear. Yes
the new goods will wear. Low prices would be no in *
duccment without wear.
