CIUWFOtlD , Neb. , March 10. To ths Ed
itor of The Bco : In your issue of March
there appeared a special 'from this place
under the obovo heading which Is eo mis
leading in intny polnte that I beg leave
to reply through your valuable columns.
The writer of the article referred to would
have the public bcllevo that the Crawford
company Is a public benefactor , while I am
preventing the town from having a suffi
cient supply of water and a hindrance to
public welfare. It Is tiuo that we do not
have a sufficient supply of water during the
months when a largo amount Is needed for
lawns , but the claim that "tho White river
Is the only available source of supply" has
no foundation. Wo now have a gravity
syntcm throughout , the supply being from
a well In a canyon , from which the water
flows through a pipe Into the reservoir , sit
uated at an elevation of about 105 feet above
the town. It has been estimated by those
who arc In as good n position to know as
any that fully as much water goes down
the canyon past the sl < U > s of the welt as In
now obtained , and as It Is only a few feet
to bedrock the saving of this water Is per
fectly feasible , There ore also two other
canyons which have springs from which
our supply could bo Increased twenty or
thirty fold. The water from these canyons
Is at an elevation high enough above the
present reservoir to permit It to flow In
through pipes. The utilizing of these
sources was a part of the plan when the
system was put In , It being Intended that
when the growth of the town demanded
the waters from these sources would bo
Used. By obtaining the additional supply
needed from these sources wo would have
'urc , cool spring water , while the water
proposed to be furnish * d by the Crawford
com ) any from White river gets the bene
fit of the dralmigo of all the barnyards
for many miles above the point of tllver-
nlou and Is then carried through an open
ditch a distance of fourteen miles before
reaching the proposal reservoir. The vil
lage of Crawford has the power and can
obtain a sulllclcnt supply of pure water
and lay .ill needed extensions for $1,500 to
$2,000. or about one-fifth of the cost of the
Crawford company's plan.
No opposition whatever was Interposed by
mo to Influence the vote , many of my best
friends and strongesl supporters not voting
at all. The exceedingly largo vote can bo
accounted for by fhc fact that the Crawford
company had a large force of men at work
nearby.
One very serious objection to the proposed
sale Is that the company docs not propose
to pay off the bonds , and .relieve us of the
Indebtedness , but docs propose to leave the
bonds outstanding some fourteen years. In
other words , the proposition amounts to
about this ; The company asks the people
to lend It the system of water works for
fourteen years , give It all the revenue to
be derived therefrom , pay It anywhere from
$800 to $1,200 a year for hydrant rent , and
when the bonds become due ( If the Invesl-
mont does not prove to bo a good one ) the
company will let us keep the system and pay
off our own bonds. The proposed sale
would , Instead ef reducing the burden of
taxation , greatly Increase It. The collection
of water rentals at present amounts to $850
per annum. The Interest on the bonda
amounts to $1,020 per innum , leaving $370
to be raised by taxes , whereas If the sale
be made we would bo compelled to raise
by taxation at least $750 , and there Is no
assurance that It would not b3 twice that
amount. The fact Is that the levy of $750
which would have lo be paid to the com
pany , added to the revenue received at pres
ent , would If applied thereto pay off the
bonds together with the Interest thereon
within thirty years. Flgu-lng the proposi
tion from any standpoint , It Is nothing more
nor less than a game of "heads , the com
pany wins ; tails , the town loses. "
Again , the law does not give villages
authority to , sell. water works belonging
thereto , nnd any attempt to purchase"or
sell the same Is In violation of law. This
opinion from the best authorities In the
state is supported by decisions by the su
preme courts of several states.
But after all this has been said we have
not yet reached the real question at Issue.
In the year 1S85 , long before Crawford was
dreamed of , the writer built a mill on
White river to l > o operated by water power ,
and has ever elnco maintained and oper
ated It unmolested until about ono year
ago , when the water was cut off by means
of the Crawford company's ditch. There
Is also a mill at Whitney , which has been
operated by the water from White river
for many years. Besides this there arc over
forty farmers wluj have filings for water
on White river nnd Its tributaries for ir
rigation purposes. Nearly all of the above
claimants had filings before the Crawford
company had an existence. It has been the
wish of these claimants that the Stnto
Board of Irrigation measure the water and
apportion It according to law , but for come
reason the Crawford , company objtcted lo
and enjoined all the parties ( forty-three or
forty-four In number ) who made any claim
to Ihe walers of White river or Its tribu
taries. Under the cover of this suit the
company during the past summer diverted
the water and permitted It to waste away
In Its ditch and reservoirs , doing no one
any good , and thus depriving the mills of
power and the farmers of water with which
to Irrigate their crops , which were ruined
for lack thereof.
In this suit brought by the Crawford
company I filed a demurrer , which was ar
gued at the December term of the district
court , at which time , seeing that they had
no foundation for such salt , thn company'n
attorneys adopted dilatory measures to give
them time to bolster up something on which
to stand , and the stupendous effort to get
permission to supply water to the village
of Crawford Is mainly for the purpose of
enabling them to win this otherwise hope
less suit.
The claim that I have been offered more
than my rights are worth Is a great mo- !
toko. The only offer ever made mo was
$5,000 , but this Included an Irrigation ditch
which cost about $4fiOO to build , HO It would
leave me nothing for the privilege of taking
all the water out In the company's ditch
and leaving my mill without power. But
oven If the company had ollered mo moro
than my water rights were worth , that
would bo no relief to the other defendants
whose Interests would be Interfered with.

ASK FOR LOWER CORN RATES
Grain Must Bo Shipped Within a Pew
Days or Bo a Dead Loss.
DEMAND NOW MADE UPON THE IOWA LINES
Itnllrnnil Coninilnxloiicrn of
State VTKC that an K
nml thai Relief
In Nccdcil.
Though the general managers of the Iowa
railroads hive declined to grant reduced rates
for corn , or even place an emergency rate
for the month ot 'March , the Iowa Board ot
Railroad Commissioners Is still making an
active fight for some concession.
The following Is the text ot a letter re
cently sent by C. L. Davidson , chairman uf
the board , to the presidents and general
managers of all Iowa lines :
"Tho situation In Iowa Is very serious ,
especially In relation to the corn crop of last
year. After careful investigation I am con
vinced that not more than 25 per cent of the
corn crop of 1S9G can bo saved beyond the
coming of warm weather and that whatever
Is done with it , shipping , etc. , must bo done
before that time. In addition to this con
dition of things the number of stock animals
In Iowa to be fed Is not sufficient to consume
beyond a small iicrccntago of this grain , in
amount not , I think , to exceed 20 per cent of
the corn " crop.
"If I "am correct In the estimates made
this leaves at least 00 per cent of the crop
on hand , which must bo shipped within
say , five weeks , or be > a loss to the farmuiu
and the freight a less to the transportation
companies. With this situation confronting
the people and the transportation lines , I
write to suggest nnd urge the necessity of such
an emergency rate tor , say , the month of
March , as will carry this corn to a market ,
and also to ask that you glvo the subject
that early and earnest consideration which
the extreme gravity ot the situation de-
manda. "
The officials of the Iowa lines , like those
of the Nebraska roads , contend that emer
gency rates would not help the corn growers
ono whit. They cite many cases where re
duced rates have been put In before to help
the farmers and that such cuts have always
been followed by corresponding falls In the
market , the grain market never falling to
take up the slack. They Insist , therefore ,
that they simply lose the amount they re
duce the rates and the farmer gains nothing.
Despite the fact that three great corn-
growing states , Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas ,
have united In beseeching the railroads to
grant lower rates In order to move some
of the great corn crop of the past season ,
none of the roads In these staters have yet
como down In their rates. Men who watch
railroad affairs closely say there is no prob
ability of any reduction thlb spring , even
though the three governors and the three
boards of transportation should continue to
pound the railroads on the back. Assistant
General Frelsht Agent Wood of the Union
Pacific was down to Lincoln during the first
part of the week and had a conference with
the Nebr.-fika State Board of Transportation ,
but no radical changes came out of .that
meeting.

Union I'llcllieut Aiixloim to Operate
Separate Telewraiili System.
General Solicitor Kelly of the Union Pa-
clfic la still at St. Louis , and nothing further
has been done relative to the segregation of
the telegraph deparlme'rit of the' ' railroad
from the Western Union Telegraph'company. .
It appears now that the latter corporation la
the ono mo.3t vitally interested In thu mat
ter. Not only Is there bound to bo a great
expense to the Western Union by the separa
tion of the lines , but it Is feared that the
Postal Telegraph company may slip in and
occupy a few places heretofore closed to it.
On the other hand , the Union Pacific Is not
at all anxious to see the decree of the court
ordering a a&paratlon of the lines. In addi
tion to the expense of putting In separate In
struments Ir. place of those of the Western
Union now used , a most liberal arrangement
regarding the transmission of the company's
niEssagea would bo terminated. At present
the contract between the two companies
allows the Union Pacific to transmit a cer
tain number of million words free r > vtry
year. This privilege Is good over the entire
Western Union system. Business along Its
own lines Is handled by the Union Pacific
telegraph department. Every official of
any rank has a frank on the Western Union.
An account Is kept of the number of words
sent on account of these franks , and at the
end of the year there Is a reckoning , the total
number of wordo sent being compared with
the number of words agreed to be trans
mitted free of charge by the Western Union.
All mcssage-a above this limit are paid for at
reduced rates.

The Burlington's record-breaking travn be

railroad circles that wl'l now doubtless bo
In vogue In all such emergencies where the
interested parties con pay for the expense
of such a train. On Wdnesday Robert T.
Paine , a well known Boston millionaire , was
hurried from Washington to Boston In a spe
cial train to reach his wlfo before her death.
Ho chartered a train over the Pennsylvania
road , the terms of the contract calling for $2
for every minute of the trip , and a big bonus
for every mlnuto chopped off the record time
between the two cities. The distance of 135
miles between Washlngt'n and Philadelphia
was covered In 132 minutes. New Jerney
was crossed at about the same rate of speed
ami a new record was established between
Now York City and Boston , The cost of thu

Ho Scorns to Have a Double with Very
Unscrupulous Tendencies.

The existence of a double sometimes be-
com03 embarrassing to n man who Is held
accountable for the actions of tlio mnn who
looks like him. And when the double per
sists In beating hotel bills , playing confi
dence ganica on susceptible widows and
otherwise raising several kinds of Cain on
the responsibility of his silent partner , the
consequences to the latter become particu
larly odious. Chairman George Munro of the
Board of Public Works has the misfortune
to bo afflicted with a particularly exasperat
ing cnsa of this sort , and ho would glvo a
largo slice of Ills salary to be able to lay
hands 011 the Individual who Is responsible
for his troubles.
For a long time past Munro has been re
ceiving various communications that were
written by people of whom he had never heard
and which seemed to relate to matters of
which he wao equally Ignorant. For a while
ho simply throw the letters Into the waste
basket without troubling hlniBo'f as to their
Import , but more recently ho has become
convinced that some unscrupulous Individual
Ls having a whole lot of run at his expense.
One sample of the way In wli'lch ' the double
Is getting In his work came In the shape of
n board bill from the Windsor hotel In Den
ver. Munro had usually stopped at that
hcatelry while In that city , but as he had
paid his bills and had not been there within
six months of the time for which the bill
waa rendered ho paid no attention to It.
13ut other letters followed and at length one
came from a collection agency. Ho still neg
lected to answer , and the agency sent him a
missive that fairly raised his hair. He was
called a dcadbcat In several languages and
was vigorously Informed that If he did not
settle that bill by return mall , measures
would bo taken to let the people of Omaha
know what r.ort of olllcla's they had In their
city hall. The chairman wrote a reply that
was n model of. terse and sulphuric English
and he received another letter from the hotel
managers which contained a profuse apology
and the Information thai It had been dis
covered that , the man who had evaded the
payment of his. board bill was another Indi
vidual , although ho had registered as
'George Munro , 'Omaha. "
But this little experience was not a cir
cumstance to another which followed soon
after. It seems that the spurious Munro had
been operating extensively , for the next
letter came from a tinall city In southern
California , which the real Munro had never
seen. It was written in a delicate feminine
hand , and the closely written sheets were
heavy with the odor of violets. But then
were no violets about the contents. The
writer demanded to know why he had neg
lected her for the past two months. She
thought It was decidedly peculiar that a man
should spend all one summer in professing
unalterable love and then disappear without
a word when the wedding 'day approached.
If it was on account of the money that t'lie
had lent him from time to time , he need
not worry. Sbc.-8tlll loved him , and Iflie
would only come back all would bo forgiven.
There were half a dozen sheets of It , and
GCjprge was , up a stump until the fair writer
"s'po'he of the happy hours that' they had 'spent
together while she sat besldo him and ran
her flngcrs through his "beautiful brown
hair. " Tnat let' him out , and ho hastened
to assure the unknown admirer that she
must have encountered his double , for the
couldn't run her flngcrs very far through
his hair , as he was bald-headed. And now
Munro Is wondering what will turn up next.

While Captain King of the police force
was nlttlng at a window In the police station
Thursday he saw a man drive a horse and
team over the sidewalk on Jackson street ,
between Fifteenth and Sixteenth. The cap
tain at once rushed Into police court ,
caused a warrant to be Issued for the driver
on the charge of driving on a sidewalk , and
had him arrested. At the hearing yester
day It developed that the yrlsoner was Wil
liam Hutton , who had been employed In the
sewer department of the city for the past
ten years. He explained that men were
engaged In repairing a sewer In the alley
In the rear of Jackson street , and in order
to get to It ho was ? compelled to cross the
sidewalk. Captain King Insisted , however ,
that the city employe had violated the city
ordinance. Ho wanted the ordinance en
forced to the letter In order to show that
the police department was playing no favor
ites' . Ho held that a city employe had no
more right than a private citizen to drive
over a sidewalk.
"How about the fire department In coso of
a fire ? " suggested Hutton.
The court did not coincide with Captain
King's view , but withheld decision until this
morning.

Juror AVIthilratvii nml tlic Trial
IlrotiKht to n Clone.
The suit of John Uusli , administrator of
the estate of Mrs. Ida 11. Notson. against the
National Heserve association to recover
$2,000 on a beneficiary certificate came to a
sudden stop n Judge Fawcotl's court , the
plaintiff withdrawing a juror , thereby leaving
the case as it was before the trial was com
menced.
This course was taken after n motion had
been made to dismiss the case for the reason
that the administrator had no standing In
court , and also because the certificate had
been allowed to lapse by the non-payment of
assessments. It was argiied by the defend
ant's counsel that by the articles of Incor
poration under which It operated the pro
ceeds of the beneficiary certificate , after Its
validity should bo established , were payable
only to the next of kin In cases where the
beneficiary did not survive the Insured. It
was also stated that the laws of Missouri ,
under which the defendant was Incorporated ,
provided the line to be followed In dctcrmln-
Ing the next of kin , making the husband the
next In order after the beneficiary , then the
nearest relatives of the Insured , which would
bo the mother of Mrs. Notaon , In this case.
The point that the certificate- had lapsed by
non-payment of assessment was also argued.
These arguments were contested by the nt-
torncys for tlu < administrator , and the court
rather Intimated that It was Inclined to lean
toward the arguments advanced by the other
nldc. The plaintiff's attorneys then asked
leave to withdraw a Juror , and thla was
done. It was stated that the petition would
either be amended to conform to the showing
made or the case would be dismissed and a
new proceeding commenced.

[ \NOiNYMOUS \ DODGER APPEARS
It is Generously Circulated Among Buslnosa
Men and Around Headquarters.
THREAT AGAINST EXPOSITION MOVEMENT
Author of the Clreulnr Declare * that
If n CliniiKe of Site In Maile
Dire DUiiNter Will
Follow.
An anonymous circular was circulated vcrj
generally yesterday about the business '
portions of the city and especially about the
exposition headquarters In the Paxton block
and In localities where the members ot tha
Board of Directors of the exposition have
their places of business. The effusion wao
printed In the form of a small dodger and
was as follows :
"No exposition ! That Is the general opinion
currently expressed by men of sound mind.
If the directors attempt to re-locate said slto
It will bo at a loss ot thousands of dollars
to the city of Omaha In the way of permanent
Improvements. .Men that have taken stok
will refuse to pay any moro on said stock
and disaster will stare you In the face. Como ,
gentlemen ( , don't 'play horse , ' but get down
to business and set the ball to rolling , eo
that the men of toll can go to work. "
Inquiry among the representatives ot or
ganized labor developed the fact that none of
them knew anything about the Issuing ot
the circular , and one and all denied that It
represented the sentiment of the laboring
people. One ot the men who Is regarded na
being fully In touch with thu labor clement
said that the general sentiment among the
laboring men wast In favor ofl tbo change of
slto which has been cniggestod.
"Wo would rather have the exposition lo
cated on Sherman avcm'e , " said this man ,
"than to have It at Ml ler park , because a
laboring man would cither have to spend 10
cents every day In car fare or walk several
ml'.es ' to work In Hit ) morning and walk the
same distance at night after a hard day's
work If no change 'la made , but If It Is lo
cated at the old fair grounds site the men
can easily walk both ways , and a saving of
GO cents each week I * a very important Item
to a working man. A'l wo want Is work ,
and wo are not , so particular whcro It la lo
cated , but whim It comes to a choice between
tliC'SO two places we are In favor of the ono
nearest to town. "
Ono ot the directors , who has taken an
interest in the proposed change of site and
who has looked Into the matter very care
fully Elnco the change was suggested , said
today that it was not true that the city would
lose anything In the way of permanent Im-
irovcmonts it the rhango suggested wss made.
He said that Herman Kountzo had already
agiecd to donate a parcel of land to the city
as a site for a permanent building and a pub
lic park and this would enable the Board
of Park Commissioners to devote the pro
ceeds of the levy madii for park purposes to
the improvement ot this tiart of the city , ex
actly the same as was proposed In connection
with the Miller park site.

peddling trip through the state.
The complaint against the men was filed
> Joe Darooge , at present ot Toledo , O.
He alleges that Borne time ago lie shipped
$395 worth of goods to the men In South
Dakota , but never received any money from
them. He therefore charges them with ob
taining the goods by means of false and
fraudulent representations. The transaction
occurred while Darooge waa in business in
Fort Wayne , Ind.
The two prisoners say that they know
nothing whatover-nbout the casa. They have
made a statement that they never received
the goods nnd never lived In South Dakota.
the other hand , they maintain that they
came to Nebraska direct from Syria , and have
novcr been outside of the date's borders.
Ono has been hero three years and the other
about ono year ,

explanation of the arrest. Ho nays that
