John Francis , genera ] passenger agent of
the B. & M. . returned to Omaha yesterday
after a two months' trip through the west
and along the Pacific coast. In an Interview
he said the cnaldtlcmfl nere most favorable
far n heavy volume of California tourist
travel this -winter and a still greater traffic
destined for the gold fields of Klondike next
spring
In actlclpntion- the big rush to Port

pnirts from which the numerous parties of
argonaut * are expected to depart in the
spring , tile Burlington official * have about
derided tt > inaugurate a through line of
tourist pleeplng cars from Chicago to Port
land The matter le now under consider
ation and will l e decided in time for the
spring rush toward Klondike. SbouM. such
a new lire of through cars be placed la
service it would travel over the Burlington

Rio Gianfle Western , Grand Junction to Salt
Lake City ; Oregon Short Line. Salt Lake
City to Huntington , Ore. , and Oregon Rail
way fc Navigation ocmpaay. Huntington to
Portland.
The widespread Intrcst In Klondike , Mr.
Francis thinks , is shown la the large num
ber of inquiries already received for In
formation concerning rstes to that country.
Boned on the indications of an enormous
spring travel to Alaska , mobt of the Bur
lington offlcalls look with favor upon the
proposition to get In line to receive it by
establishing a new touriM cur route. As
t result of Mr. Francis * recent observations
thlewill undoubtedly lie done.

AMUSEMENTS.
Those who stayed away from "A Southern
Romance. , " as presented last night atBoyd's
aad 1here were a good rainy who come
unSer that head nilsscd a very pretty play
nt > d an evening's entertainment -which was
the mo" * ) refreshing Jor being in a measure
unexpected. Miss Hlgbee's story , -'In God's
Country , " Is not read no much as It should
tie , -wherefore the shortcomings of a rather
crude dramatization of it arc less intrusively
apparent. The adapter fcas done ample jus
tice to U > e book In plates.tut the stageve > s'on
Is of 'uneven merit and the action some
times drags unduly , and again , as in the last
act , quite too much Is caused to "happen all
at once. The book does "not suggest Clay
Clement's "Xew Dominion" specialty ; the ,
play docs , decidedly. In the nature of the !
plot rathe- than in the manner of treatment. I
There Is a similar association of human and I
vegetable flowers , the same mortgage on the
ancestral real estate , the same unwelcome
and unworthy suitor and a like foreign noble
man traveling incognito. Clement's play ,
aov/evcr. is free from the touch of melodrama
which is a blemish upon this ,
The comi-any is generally excellent. Spe
cial praise should &e bestowed -upon Mr
Emmett Corripan for a strong anl admirably j
restrained performance in the role of Andre. !
His scene in the first act -with Lydia. over | '
his first meal on the colonel's premises , is '
especially delicate and fine. Miss Hope , Miss I I
Tinnle. Mlsa Brennan and Messrs. Thompson ,
I
Hill , " \Vade "White and Ince all made impres- j
nlons more or less favorable. The play is I ;
; ee3toslywell put on the stage. The en
gagement closes with two performances to
day , inatlnee and evening.
McHenry In "A Night in New York - I

wave to say Is that tie eastern stockholders
are not likely to do anything tiat will de
crease their dividends. "
At jestcrday's session of the Board of
Equalisation several complaints were filed by
property owners against the Missouri avenue
sewer tar. It is not tie cost of the sewer
that is complained of , but the manner of
making the assessment. The sewer Is 2,925
feet long and ccst the district $2.050 , being
tbe cheapest sewer ever laid In the city.
In laying out this sewer district all property
on bath sides of Missouri avenue , from Thir
teenth to Twentieth streets and extending
aorta and south from the street a half block ,
was Included. The complaints are made by
persons living end owning prrperty at the
northern or southern limits of the district
These are -charged or assessed at the same
rate as is the prcperty abutting on Missouri
avenue. In the latter case the property
owner Is not put to any expense to speak
of In making a connection with the sewer ,
while those farther away will be compelled
to pay quite a sum for such connections.
City Engineer Seal has arranged tbe as
sessment , as has always been the custom
here , that is charging each property owner
so much per square foot. Tbe tax per or
dinary lot in this way Is J10.12. While there
| is no complaint on the amount assessed , those
| living off Missouri avenue think that they
should not be called upon to pay as much
for the sewer as property holders oa Mis
| souri avenue , for the reason that it will cost
them ell the way from J25 to J75 to make
j sewer connections.
The statutes provide that the assessment
! | is to tie made In accordance with the benefits -
' fits derived , and with the law on their side.
the property owners living a little off Mis
souri avenue assert that they will insist upon
having their assessment reduced.

Uive stock shippers from along the line

the service given them by that railroad. E.
H. Sorensen , a , frequent shipper to this mar
ket and -wio lives at Dannebrog , tils slate ,
asserts tiat In freigiting Jive stock to this
market tbe trains are sidetracked for ell
trains going west ; In other words , the west
bound trains have the rlgit of way. Mr.
Sorensen says that be would not object to
stock trains be-ing sidetracked for passenger
trains , but does not think it right for stock
trains to be laid out for all westbound freight
trams. In explaining the matter tils ship

Island with two cars of stock at midnight
and < ild not arrive iere until 11 o'clock In the
forenoon , mailing eleven hours' time on the
road and a distance of 14C miles traveled.
This is at the rate of a little over thirteen
miles an hour. It is claimed by this shipper
that on the Great Northern road all stock
trains going to market have absolute right
of way , and all trains except the fast mail ,
must e've ' way to trains loaded with live
stock. By burrying stock trains through it

greatly , cs it saves shrinkage. It has been

shippers along tbe line of tbe Union Pacific
and the commission men doing business here
make a combined effort to have this matter
rectified.

At the time of his death "Washington was
in his sixty-eighth ye r. a. strong , rcbutt
man. On December 12 , 1799 , he contracted
a severe cold and pneumonia threatened.
Two doctors were summoned , and , in ac
cordance -with 8ie absurd custom ot those
fiays , they proceeded to bleed their patient.
Nearly a quart of blood wjs taken from his
veins , until at last he begged them to let
him die In peace. He died that same day
not from disease , but actually from loss of
blood. He was killed by ignorance !
In itl/ese / days cny doctor in ho treated a pa
tient like "Washington war treated would be
indicted for manslaughter. The world was
moved since then , and there has beta a
complete revolution in the practice of medi
cine. Instead of lowering the vital forces
by thinning the blood , advanced phyricians
now endeavor to build up tie etrength of
tbelr patients. They employ only the latest j
and most scientific remedies. |
And yet. la spite of this fart , we find 1
thousands of people endeavoring to improve
their ibcalth by taking old-fashioned medi
cines. They forget that chemists and ecient- I
