Wofrtwn's final order to Tlecclver
Barnard to turn over to the newly organized
Omaha & Sti Luuls lulli-rafl company all of
the property and accounts In his hands be
longing to the old company was receive' } at
the federal building ycrterdty. The hew
ing ot thb application for the order oc
curred in Judgr Woolnon'e residence In
Mount Pleasant on Monday , and the order IB
just what the attorneys sought. One feature
U a little remarkable , perhaps. The hour
fixed for the receiver to rc'lluynUh the prop
erty and consign It to the care of the Jiew
owners IE midnight tonight. Ordinarily mid
day is the tlm chosen for such
transfers. The order is made sub
ject to the continuing Jurisdiction of the
court if it becomes necessary to pro
tect the receiver. The oraer also directs L.
W. HOLS , master in chancery , to make his re
port today prior to the rellnqulshment by
the receiver shoeing ths proportions of the
earnings that should go to the nou-ac5cutlng
bondholder * and those represented by the
purchasing company. A large majority of
the bondholders assented to the sale c\f the
road , but there were a few who refused to
give their assent. A number of these bond
holders ba\e been paid cff and their bssds
canceled since the sale of January a ; ear
uga. Mr. Hoi * will not be able to comply
with this part of the court's orders on ac
count ot the khorincss of the time , and his
report will be made later.
The deepest interest attaches to the final
closing up of tht business ot the receiver
and the assumption of the management of the
road by the new company. The officers of the
new company have been very diplomatic in
their answers to requests for information
concerning several matters upon which
Council Bluffs and Omaha people would like
enlightenment. The chief thing ot intercut ,
of course , is the location ot the general of
fices and headquarters of the road. U ie
tacitly admitted that the new company will
absorb the new East Omaha bridge and will
likely utilize the magnificent railway yards
that have been laid out there , and perhaps
do some additional railroad building in Ne
braska , but the question of loca
tion of the headquarters is a dark
secret. The general belief is that Kan
sas City will secure the prize for the
reason that Kansas City interests end capital
are directly Involved in the road and will
dictate its management. It is probable that
division headquarters will at least be
located here which will give employment tea
a lorce of clerks fully as large as that now
employed. It wait rumored jesterdoy that
the first move the company would make
would be to perfect arrangements to run
directly into the exposition grounds , or na
near as possible.

Pence Ot-li. n Clinnce of Venue.
H. A. Pence , charged with having robbed
his fellow farm hand , H. Migg , was arraigned
before Judge McGee in the police court yes
terday morning. The usual -change of venue
was taken , and Pence selected Justice Burke
as the official to first pass upon the merits
of his crime. Mlgg was present to prosecute
the young man. and was considerably dis
appointed when he discovered that he could
not tu-nd him to the penitentiary at once.
Mlgg is a gold miner who has epent a num
ber of years in the gold diggings on the
Pacific coast. He came directly from Port
land here , and the $300 worth of gold which
he had concealed in his valise was a part
of his savings on the coast. He had a
horror of banks , and refused to depreit the
money after he came here for fear the bank
to which he might entrust it would Imme
diately , fail In order to secure possession of
it He lest several hundred dollars In a
Portland bank , and that experience com
pletely destroyed his confidence in all banks.
Pence stole his mcney a week ago last Sun
day. He knew that Migg bad it concealed
somewhere In his room and on Sunday he
asked permUslan to go into the room to
shave himself. He was there dlone , and
after securing the money he took Mlgg s
razor strop and converted it into a money
belt , in which he placed the money. Mlgg
missed hie strop first and then his money.
He was confident that Pence bad token both
and accused him of 1L Pence denied the
accusation and was very willing to be
searched. Nothing was found and the days
went on without bringing a clew until Tues
day evening , when Migg saw Pence shoot out
from under a bridge near by mounted on a
new bicycle and start for town. Mlgg was
convinced that part of his savings had gone
for the purchase of that wheel. ( Ho made
a haety examination ot the bridge and dis
covered a freshly dug hole where something
that had previoubly been buried bad been
taken out He followed the young man to
town and effected his arrest before he had
any further opportunity to dispose of the
remainder of the money.
Pence stoutly nsserts that the money was
his own and that be had buried It beneath
the bridge when he first began to work on
the farm , five keeks ago. The money , how
ever , corresponded exactly with that lost by
Mlgg , and the belt in which It was found
in the pcescur.ion of Pence when arrested was
made from Mlgg'c mltslng razor strop.

"DBS MOINES July ! . ( Special Tele
gram. ) The prohibition state convention to
day nominated its state ticket. Rev. E. L.
Baton of Dee Molnes was named for governor.
At the opening of the convention he
was not thought of. He had been named as
temporary chairman and by hie speech cap
tured the gathering. Last night the fight
was between the Leland faction , which
wanted fusion with the Anti-Saloon league ,
and the Baron element , which optioned all
fusion. The factions were closely matched
and Dr. Eaton WEE sprung as a compromise
candidate. He captured the convention and
on the first ballot was nominated , reviving
200 to 12& for Leland. Bacon was not placed
In nomination. The nomination is regarded
as a victory for the middle-of-the-road cle
ment , meaning that the campaign will be
made a straight fight on pronlbitlon , with
no fusions or allUnces. but Dr. Eaton dots
not admit that nuch is hie policy. In fact ,
he dtsirce that the campaign be conducted
on euch Hues as will secure the co-operation
of all elements , especially the Anti-Saloon
league.
! > . - . Eaton IB pastor of the First Methodist
church of Des Molncs and came from Wis
consin only a year ago. In that state he
had been a prohibition leader for years and
was once the candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor.
The remainder of the ticket was selected
without contest. It is as follows : Lieutenant
governor. M. W. Atwood of Emmett county-
supreme Judge. N. T. Helller of Guthrlc
county ; state superintendent , Mre. Mary H.
Dunham of Des Moines county ; railroad
commissioner , A. W. Coates of Dallas county.
The work of raising a campaign fund was
taktn In hand and $1,400 raised. Dr. Eaton
promises an active canvass and says he will
especially bear down on the fact that the
republican party passed a liquor manufac
turing bill and has entirely surrendered to
the liquor element He expects a large in
crease in the party vote.
Tne platform is short and confined to pro
hibition , except one plank for woman suf
frage and another of a fair ballot and a fair
count.

Mayor Ensor has prepares , and will send
today to the officials of the" , street railway
company , a copy of the ord'oance ' In rela
tion to the removal of the wooden motor
poles now in use on Twenty-fourth street.
In this communication the mayor will call
the attention of the company _ to the fact
that a COB of $50 a day Is pro'vlded for IL
case the company neglects or refuses to re
move the poles : In speaking about the mat
ter yesterday the mayor said that as the
council had passed a resolution directing him
to enforce the ordinance he would do all
he could toward having iron poke substituted
for the wooden ones now In use.
Should the officials of the street car com
pany appear inclined to fight this ordinance
and test it in the courts the councilman say
that they will compel the company to move
iU switching tracks from Twenty-fourth and
N streets to a point further south on Twenty-
fourth street. This action. Councilman Mort
said , would be taken In response to almost
daily complaints. He Bald that the switching
at Twenty-fourth and N streets caused from
one to three runaways a day , and it was
dangerous to the lives of persons crossing the
street at that point. He favored the bulldlag
of a loop and thus do away with switching
entirely or else have all the switching done
on the level stretch of ground CQ Twenty-
fourth street between O and P streets. Van-
sant will suggest the building of a loop , as
he considers that the best way out of the
difficulty , and the only way in fact to stop
the complaints. Other members of the coun
cil are divided , but all admit that switching
at Twenty-fourth and X streets is a nuisance
and must stop.
Cnrff-TV IN n Icii < ] Letter.
No attention has been paid to the cur
few ordinance passed some months ago , and
as a result little boys and girls run the
streets until midnight or after. For a time
after the passage of the ordinance the po
lice saw to it that the law was obeyed and
made frequent arrests. The officers , however ,
boon lost interest in the matter or else their
time and attention was taken up with affairs
of more- Importance , for not a single child
has been arrested for running the streets
at eight for months. Children of tender
years make a practice of Jumping on and
off strt-et care all along Twenty-fourth street ,
and cause the conductor * any amount of an
noyance , besides running the chances of be
ing injured. Crowds of young boys stand
around on the street corners and use bac !
language. Women are frequently insulted
by tbe e young toughs , who often never
leave the streets until loward midnight. The
tapping of the big bell at fire hall No. 1 at
9 o'clock every night was formerly the signal
for all children under IS years of age to
proceed homeward. Many people here would
like to net the pallco instructed to enforce
the ordinance. ' '
