A cn o has Just been concluded In the
courts of Sarpy county which Involved the
title to Immcime tracts of land In that county
* and In which n number of Omaha attorneys
were lntcr sted aa counsel. The caao was
entitled L. 13. Irwln and others against H. T.
Clarke anil others , and aa a case brought
to eel asldo tax deeds given for largo tracts
of land In Sarpy county , the suit In question
jj was In the nature of. a tc t MSB , and uP ° n
[ the dfclslon depends the title to about 800
acres of land , In addition to this land , there
are about SCO acic In the eamo county
against which suit , will probably bo com
menced , and llicrs arc tracts of land aggre
gating between 40,000 and CO.OOO acrca In
Cass , Otoe and Washington counties In Ne
braska and In western Iowa , the tltlo-to
which rests upon the foundation which has
been set aside In th case In question , and
upon which similar suits will now be brought.
The plaintiffs In the case which has Just
been decided nf2 the descendant * ! of John
Irwln , one of the first settlers In saatern
Nebraska. Irwln came to Nebraska In 1855
and , after looking the countryover , , returned
to the east. Two years afterward ho re
turned to Nebraska and purchased between
40,000 nrvl 50,000 ncros of government land
lying along both sides of the Missouri. He
paid for the land with government scrip and
received n patent for the land.
Irwln was regarded by his neighbors as a
very eccentric Individual , but was'known as
a very threwd trader , and many of the eld
Peltiers of Snrpy county have gainful recol
lections of dealings with him. One ef his
favorite hobbles was that he hail bought his
land direct from the government and that no
power but the government could teko it
away from him , and ho expressed very grave
doubts about the federal government having
that power. Acting upon the Influence c > f this
belief ho resolutely refused to pay any taxt'S
on his land. In the course ot tlmf > the taxes
against this land amounted to a laro ; mini ,
but the old man refused to consldji- any
proposition looking to a payment cf these
taxes and bU eccentricities became mcro
marked In other respects. The land was
finally sold for taxes and the tttlo passed to
others by these tax deeds.
It was these transfers which were at
tacked by the cases covered by the decision
recently reached. H was alleged that Irwln
had been non compos mentis for a long tlmo
( irlor to his death and the- claim was set up
that tlie- statute of limitation could not run
against him. The hearing resulted In a de
cision to the effect that Irwln's mental In
capacity dated from about 1857 and. that the
title to the land reverted to his helm ,
Sulla against the remainder of the huge
tracts taken up by Irwln In the early days
will be commenced at once. The case has
attracted wide interest among land owners in
the vicinity of Irwln's early holdings , as
the value of the land Involved has reached a
large llgurc and the matter Is assuming great
Importance.

Thinks ( Iu > Chicago I'rcNN TnlccN
Tli I n KM Too Seriously.
Rov. Dr. Prank Crane nnd Mrs. Crane ar
rived in Omaha yesterday and are guests
at the residence of A. B. Smith , 3120 Chicago
cage street. Rev. Dr. Crane lectured be
fore the Chautauqua college of the First
Methodist church last evening , and with Mrs
Crane will spend three or four daje In re
newing acquaintance with their Omaha
friends.
In speaking of his work In Chicago Rev.
Crane said that all things considered he was
much pleased with his new field. Trinity
church had about the same membership as
his old Omaha charge , but the conditions
were somewhat different. There were en
tirely different problems to bo considered ,
and whlo | they were not less serious , bis
efforts were-directed - along lines that varlei
somewhat from those he had previously fol
lowed.
The hypothesis relative to the migration
of souls from the earth to the other planeio
which attracted so much" attention In the
Chicago press a few days ago had been re
ceived 'somewhat too seriously , InRev. . Dr.
Crane's opinion. "The subject was discussed , '
he said , "In s paper which "I read before a
meeting of ministers , and seine of them went
so far as to accuse mo of heretical.tendencies
In conseqL'erice , My statements referred to
nothing more than a theory. Wo have al
ways been accustomed to think of heaven as
a sphere beyond the blue canopy , but In the
light of modern science we know that there
Is no blue cinopy. I simply ventured to
suggest the possibility that heaven might
have Its place on the stars and that this
earth was merely a sort of breeding place
for the celestial spheres.
"People are too apt , " continued Rev. Dr.
Crane , "to call anything that departs from
ancient conventionalities heresy. We must
not forget th'at while we believe In the same
docilities that have always existed , wo have
been compelled to modify our conceptions
of those doctrines , as the world has gained
In wisdom and enlightenment. For Instance ,
no believe In hell Just as ( Irmly as did our
Puritan forefathers. But wo can no longer
retain the conception of hell that Is depleted
In the fretcoes of Italian churches , where
God Is represented as prodding , with a
pitchfork , the souls of the damned. "
Electric Hitter * .
Elctrlc Bitters is a medicine stilted for
any season , but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid , exhausted feeling
prevails , when the liver Is torpid and slug
gish and the need of a tonic and alterative
Is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal bllous
fevers. No medicine will act more surely
In counteracting and ftoeing the system
from tilt malarial poslon. Headache , In

Union Depot company , is being demolished
The work of tearing down the partially com
plctcd brick structure- that has for the pas
six years ecrvcd only as an aggravation to
Omahans and the traveling public was < om
menccd yesterday. The work will bo
pushed along rapidly until the building Is
entirely razed to the ground.
The wotk of removing the encumbrance
Is being done by tbo Burlington nJlroai
company. The structure IB to give why to
an entire rearrangement of the tracks nnc
yards at that point In order to agree will
the terminal facilities that will bo pro
vlded by the Durllngton's new depot. AI
the ironwork , brickwork and other malaria
of the unfinished structure that eta be made
available by the Durllngton In coustiuctlnt ,
Its new depot wilt be used.
Somewhat over $90,000 wai expended In
the work ot excavation , Lullvlln and ma
tcrlals on the one story and n half of the
structure In 1890 and 1891. It Is cnnElJeiul
doubtful , however , If the UurltU'ton wll
now bo able to utilize material worth $40,000
In building Its own depot. Only but-h ma
terlal as can satisfactorily pass nn ex.imlua
tlon of the construction onglnajrs will be
employed In the now building.
At a recent meeting of the Union Depot
company preparations for the legal sulcldo
of that corporation were completed. The
Durllngton at that tlmo askeJ. the Union
Pacific , Its fellow partner in the ownership
of the Union Depot company , for permission
to use tuch material as It could In building
Its own depot. An agreement to this olfccl
was reached , and In accordance with In
structions Issued by General Manager Hold-
rcge of the D. & M. the work of tearing
down the old structure was begun yesterday
There now remains nothing but the de
crees of the state and federal courts to com
pletely wind up the affairs of the Union
Depot company. On Monday morning last.
March 1 , the company surrendered Its right
of operating the depot at Tenth and Mason
streets to the Dunlngton. Now the Durllng
ton Is tearing down Its only visible relic ,
and the attorneys of the two railroad com
panies Interested are preparing for the neces
sary legal steps that will cause the old cor
poration to bo as dead legally as It now Is
practically.
Speaking of the plans for the Durllngton
depot General Manager Holdrego yesterday
afternoon said : "Tho exact dimensions have
not yet been determined. The round figures
are eighty feet width and 250 feet length.
These , however , are not exact , but only ap
proximate figures. The structure will stand
on Mason street opposite Tenth street , and
will partly occupy the ground on which the
present depot stands. The building will beef
of brick of a light color and as far as possi
ble all the materials will bo purchased in
Omaha. "

GIICH Out from Under Union I'nclllfj
Control Xcs.t Week. "
The segregation of the Oregon Short Line
from the Union Pacific system will occur one
week from last night. There Is considerable
bustle In the Union Pacific headquarters In
this city because ot this , as It m'can 'the
removal of between thirty and forty families
to Salt Lake City. It is certain that al'ltol
the attaches ot the Union Pacific who will
be thrown out of their present posltlpns by
the change have had the chance to go with
the Short Line. Some have declined the
positions offered , however , as they do not
care to leave Omaha. The greatest number
of changes will bo in the auditing and the
car service departments.
Meat of the Omahany who are to remove
to Salt Lake will leave here the latter part
of the present week , Friday and Saturday
particularly , In order to be at their peals
for work by Tuesday next. Superintendent
of Car Service W. D. Lincoln will not go
until Sunday. Ho will bo succeeded here as
chief clerk to Superintendent Ducklngham
of the Union Pacific's car service by William
C. Dartlett.
It Is reported from Salt Lake City that
a foundry will bo built and all foundry work
for the Short Line will hereafter be done
there. Heretofore It has been done at the
shops In this city. The Salt Lake shops will
be under the care of David Patterson , who
( IEO been connected with the Union Pacific
system for moro than twenty years , and who
jegan work as nn apprentice boy In the
Omaha s'.iops.
H. J. Fisher , general claim agent of the
Oregon Short Line , Is In the city con
ferring with General Claim Agent Manches

: o the organization of the Short Line's claim
department.
Miss Jessie McCoy and Robert Coverdalo ,
'or the past six jears clerks In the office
of Superintendent Ducklngham of the "Union
' "aclflc'fi car service , have accepted positions
n the corresponding department of the Short
jlne. They will bo under W. David Lincoln ,
who has for several years past been the
efficient chief clerk of Superintendent Buck-
ngham. There may be others go from this
department to the Short Line.
Frank W. Hills , auditor of the Short Line ,
will leave this city for Salt Lake on Wednes
day. Ho expects Ernstus Young , auditor of
ho Union Pacific , home from Mexico , but
Eays It Is doubtful If the changes made by a
icccssary reorganization of the auditing de-
lartmcnt will be announced for several days.
General Daggage Agent Swartwood of tbo
Short Line Is in Chicago personally super
vising the work of preparing the several
jaggage checks needed for a new railroad

A Chicago paper Sunday made the state
ment that a company of Greeks would bo
organized in Omaha nnd would soon depart
or their native land to fight under the ban-
ler of Prince George. A careful search
hrough this city falls to reveal any facts
hat would give- even a foundation for such
i story. The Syrians and Turks of the
First and Second wards , among whom the
3rceks In the city are generally well known ,
ay that there are very few subjects of Prince
3eorgo lu Omaha today , and they doubt If
my of them are going Jto answer the caller
or reserves. _

AMUSEMENTS.
Charles Frohman's company In "Tho
Foundling , " the cast headed by Clsey Fitz
gerald , will be seen At the Crclghton tonight ,
the engagement being for one night only ,
Tltls production and Its star have been much
heard of tn Omaha and the coming ot Cissy's
wink has been anxiously awaited by many
who will be seated In close proximity to the
orchestra rail tonight. "Tho Foundling" Is
said to furnish several hours of hilarious en *
joymcnt , which should succeed In pleasing
the many admirers of farce comedy. The
company includes Thomas Duma , Adolph
Jackson , Jacques Martin , Frank Datton , n.
Soldcno Powell , Walter Smith. J , W. Furgu-
son , Stella Zanonl , Mela Maynard. Clara
linker Ilust , Ella Mayer , Nclllo Martlncnu

precede "Tho Foundling" as a curtain raiser.
DeKovcn and Smith's latest success , "Tho
Mandarin , " will bo the offering at the
Crelghton Monday and Tuesday , March 15
and 16. This opera has made a bigger hit
and created moro talk In New York than
anything that has been produced In the
opera line since "Ilobln Hood' was pre
sented. Scats will bo placed on sale Satur
day morning.
"Chlmmlo Faddcn , " with Charles Hopper
In the title role , will come to Iloyd's theater
on Thursday and Friday evenings with a
matlnrc on Saturday afternoon. "Chlmmlo
Faddcn" Is one of the genuine dramatic nov
elties of the tlmo. It Is a study In character-
Izatloh , not of Chtmmlc alone , but of other
quaint and original types , belonging to both
the lower and higher strata. While the locale
of the piece Is In New York City nnd Its
environs , It Is said that the characters se
lected nro so distinctly typical of any great
city that they are understandable by theater
goers everywhere in this country. The pro
duction Is quite an ambitious one , every
scene being carried complete. The different
sets ohow a portion of the Howery , a humble
home on Baxter street and a mansion on
Long Island Sound , with a vlstn of the
Connecticut shore In the distance. The
original New York cast will appear hero. In
cluding Marie Dates In her adnvJrable Im
personation of the bibulous Mrs. Murphy ,
and the engagement promises to be one pf
the most Interesting of the entire season.
CrelRhton Music hall continues to draw-
largo audiences , the business , In fact , In
creasing with each performance. The Rye-
ford sisters , the latest feature in a uniformly
good bill , repeat the success hero which they
achieved during their New York engage
ment at Koster & Dial's. The Carmen sis
ters , Mnud Dayton , May Kllsworth , Emery
& Russell , Hal Druce , Prof. Jacobs and
others succeed In furnishing amusement for
the many attending. A novelty Is announced
for the coming week In Adgle , the oriental
dancer , who will appear in n sensational act
with her three trained lions.

Vnit la-KlMliiliirc After CorpronllniiH ,
OMAHA , March 8. To the Editor of
The Dec : I ask permission to briefly reply
to a letter that recently appeared In The
Ueo signed "Falrplay. " Before our friend
volunteers to enlighten the public about the
unjust legislation of the populist party
against corpoialiens and the Omaha Street
Hallway company , to which he refers es
pecially. It might bo well for the public to
understand something about the "Omaha
Street railway law" and something about
liow It was passed. A few years ago , and
soon after the consolidation of all the Omaha
street car companies , a republican legislature
was usUcd to pass a law governing the grant
ing of franchises to street railways in metro
politan cities , that forbids the mayor from
Calling an election to vote on a franchise
except by request of the city council ; that
makes it impossible for a new company to
get a franchise for more than five miles ;
that a franchise cannot be granted on any
street occupied by the Omaha company , or
even on a street paralleling any of their
lines ; that any future competing company
must file a map showing the streets upon
which they ask for a franchise and the
exact termini , and all this publish In the
newspapers.
With such a law just catch your breath
long enough to consider the chanc ? of a
future competing company , one that might
help solve the transportation question in
1898 , or even make It possible to return from
the State fair by early bed time. Dut did
that republican legislature dare to pass such
a law ? This law that gives an absolute
cinch to the greatest fctrect cor corporation
In the state to a monopoly of franchises over
our streets ? This law , too , In favor ot u
corporation that has occupied our streets for
Forty years , since 1857 , and never paid a dollar
lar to the city for the privilege ? This law
that was prepared under the direction of the
Omaha company by the greatest corporation
lawyer In Nebraska ? This law that wus bred
* nd proof read In whispers ? Was It fostered
ind passed by a republican legislature ? It
ivas , and L3 a law on our statute books today ,
much to the chagrin nnd sorrow of a very
wealthy and Influential company of Omaha
ind South Omaha gentlemen who tried In
vain some tlmo ago to get our council to
"request" the mayor to call an election , but
ivlth all their wealth and Influence it was
Insufficient to change tbo "friendly" rela
tions of the council to the Street Car com
pany.
Now , In what way Is the populist parti1 ,
iropot'lng to oppress this corporation ? Senate
lie 290 repeals only so much of this law that
will permit the mayor to call an election to
role on n franchise by request of COO electors ,
nstcad of a "request by the council , " but
lot until a bond of $10,000 Is given to In-
mro the payment of expenses for holding
.ho election by the company asking for ths
'ranchlse.
The reason for such a change Is obvious
o any Omaha resident , and I a k , la It not
ust ? ELM E It B. THOMAS.

of the stylish fabrics this season for men'jj
ONE
suits will be English hunting cloth , sometimes
known to the tailoring trade as Bedford Cord. It is a
magnificent cloth. Heretofore it could be procured
only at high priced tailors or in swell clothing stores
where suits run from twenty to $35.00 a suit. But
there is nothing too good for Nebraska this year and
so we open today an invoice of these elegant suits in
Princeton Sack styles , made up and trimmed equal to
the highest priced suits in the world , and our price will
' be twelve dollars a suit. Considering that suits from
this fabric have never been offered anywhere for less
lhan twenty dollars it is quite a triumph for The Ne
braska to offer tlicm for twelve dollars , but it is neither
the greatest nor the only triumph that we have to offer
this spring , It seems like our buyer's journey through
the markets had been a succession of triumphs 9
breaking of all the records ever known ,
