A war among western lines far moro Inter-
rstlng than any rate war that has taken
place In western railway circles IB not nt
nil unlikely to eventuate within the next
few months If It com as It will be a war
between fast paracngcr trains , nnd the ob
ject of the fight will bo to sco which line
can do most to annlhlllntc time In thli flec
tion of the west.
Hallway circles hero nnd In Chicago have
been greatly perturbed ever since the an
nouncement that the Northwestern nnd the
Union 1'aclflc railroads would on February
C put on new fast tralnn between Chicago
and Denver via Omaha , with a schedule of
twenty-eight hours between the lead
ing cities of Illinois and Color
ado. It Is unofficially announced
that the officials of the llurllngton
nnd of the Hock Island 8 > stems arc now
engaged Iti endeavoring to persuade the
No-thwestern olllclals to withdraw the an
nouncement of n-ich fast tralra. It can bo
Btateit on excellent authority that the of
ficials of both the Burlington anJ the Hock
Island feel that the travel at present In
Bight will tiol justify the great expenseof
putting In'o service now fast tralrs between
Chicago nnd Denver but they are resolved to
more than meet the competition of the
Northwestern-Union Pacific combination If
thi > fast tral.ii already ariiounced are imt
into eervlce
WITHDRAWAL NOT LIKKLY.
The latter eolirso Is In all probability the
one Hint will be pursued , becailbc there Is
no Intimation that the Northwestern 0114 !
Vnli'ii 1'aclflc roids will abandon their new
trains before putting them Into se-rvlcc even
at the request of the competing lines. As
VN s f-Utevl ill. The lice of Tlnir'd.iy. It Is
coi iilerrd most llltelj by well posted rnll-
iial men that bath the II trllngti n and the
lie k Islam ] roads will soon announce the
restoration nf ( he fast trains between Chicago
cage nnd D'nvei UKcn off about throe jcars
ago because of a nla k amount of business
The Ilurlltiigton pcoplo have no hesitation
lu eivlng that If the Noithwcstcrn-Union
I'adflc new trains go on they will discount
"IP twenty-elght-hour schediiln l > ° -

ons nted about ,1 jear ago that special
t alls ( an be run from Chicago to Denver
In n nti'et'ii UimirH , and It is argued from
tills tlia' the llurllngt'i.i cai maintain twenty-
four hour time between Its two tciminal :
points Just what the Hock Island could do
Is not krow-n , but It Is believed that It can I
tnuet the twentv-elght hour schedule of tiiu I
Union I'.iclllc-Northwe-stern If It so desires. |
MAY APPCCP IIATRS.
One prom'cient ' railwaj ofllrlal said to The
Boa yesterday "The lines that cannot
make the fast time between Chicago and
Donvcr that other Hues announce are not go
ing to be left In this fight for business
Kvcrj road has one resourceful method of
meeting competition , even the competition
of fast trnlcs , and that ifi of putting in
lower ratca One road ma > not bo in tbe
phjslcal condition for fast tlmo that ai1-
othcr road Is , but It can nlwajs resort to a
rubber rate sheet that can bo stretched at
will. If there Is going to bo a light amen
western llnc on the basis of fast time I
venture the prediction that some line will
put In. a differential rate It will be quite
willing to rio Itfi tialra four or five hours
hlortcr than the Users and carry passengets
for a couple of dollars less. "

In Hie language of the street , the cm-
lilocs of the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court have money to burn. This money
Is not of a klud that vnsses as legal tetidcr
today. It Is of the vintage of 1S37 and vvns
Issued by the Bonk of Tekamah , a financial
Institution that ( Milled tloun KB elgns more
tlian forty } ears ago nnd went out of bus
iness , leaving numerous creditors to mDurn
The bank was established during tue period
of wildcat banking and had nn unlimited
circulation.
While going through the old files In thn
olllce of the clerk of the district court , one
of the employes this morning happened to
look Into the flies of the case of John D.
B : IRKS against the li.nk of Tckamnb. As
the suit was Instituted and disposed of some
} cars prior to his blrt/h / , the clerk became
Interested and perused the old document.
As he el U so a pllo of paper money fell out
tind floateel about the iroom. The money
consisted of $1 , $2 and $5 bills. The clerk
thought that he had struck a windfall ulid
Immediately saw visions of dajs of leisure ,
horses an ! flue carriages pass In review.
Astonished , ho gathered up the stuff nnd
noticing that it was off coloi commenced an
Investigation. This investigation revealed
the fact that rJie slips were not money , but
paper that passed for money some forty years
ago The bills showed that at ono time they
purported to represent nn aggregate value of
$ SUj. On their face they showed that they
were a part cf the circulating medium of the
Hank of Tekamah , chartered In 1SG7. The
bills were signed by F. M. Akin , cashier , and
S L Campbell , president , and conveyed the
Information that the stockholders of the
bink were Individually responsible
and liable for payment These- officers stated
ovothtlr signatures UK ! they would redeem
the bills nt any tlmo after September 1
1S57. The erstwhile money is printed on a
good quality of paper rino pictures adorn
the face of each bill and on the icverse side
Is printed In four line pica the sum of money
which each p cce of paper Is supposed to
tepresont.
HANK RHFUSES PAYMENT.
The bills of the Hank of Tekamah are no
more Interesting than the flits of the Milt
In which they appear oc exhib
its. As heretofore otated this suit
was Instituted b > John D Hrlggs The files
show that on Ma > 2G , ISi'S , ho presented
the bills at the bank and deirxmdcd coin lu
return Ha ! ticirand was refused. Ou De
cember C of the same jear , b } his attorney ,
Popp'cton & Lake , he brought bint In tile
district court for the full amount repre
sented bj the bills alleging that tbe so-
called monej was not money and that It
would not pass a& ir.ouev. A few dajs later
the bank officials , by their attorncjs Conk-
ling & Woolworth , ai.swered , entering a gen
eral denial aid al egi'ig that the petition
din not eet out facts sufficient to constitute
a cause of action. The papers were fl ed
with J. W. Paddock , who was then clerk of
the court. Socn after this an amended pe
tition was filed and on October 29 , 1S59. the
case was tried to the court , Judge Augustus
Hall presiding After a trial that consumed
two dajs the record shows that judgment In
the t > um of $1,014 was entered and execu
tion ordered to Itioiie agalrat the bank of
ficials.
The next proceeding io the aged case
shows , that after the execution was Issued ,
it was placed In the hands of John C. Hell-
map for service , the rctutn showing1 that he
was the sheriff of the county. He levied upon
the ) east forty-four feet of the lot at the
northeast corner of Eleventh and rarnain
o'rc-ets He called In C. II. Downs and
John H Kclloin as appraisers and they fixed
the value at $1,000. An advertisfcment was
inserted in the Nebraska Hepubllcan and ca
February 23 , I SCO , the property was sold
at sheriff bale , being bid In by Peter G.
Brown at $ C07. The sale was confirmed nt
the next tcim of court and the defendant
took a deficiency judgment for the balance
which according to the court records , ic-
malns unsatisfied.

There may bo a few merchants left over
who still are willing-to pay for advertising
space simply to see their names In print ,
or to gratify a whimsical notion. The mod
ern advertiser , however , as a rule hns no
tlmo for such nonscmse. The buying and
using of space In Ihe newspaper for adver
tising purposen Is no longer an experimenter
or a pastime , It Is-blislnrss.
Llko almost all other good things In life ,
thcro Is gcnulno advertising and counter-
felt or worthless advertising space for sale.
The question Is no longer , "To advertise or
not to advertise. " but " \Vhcro ? "
A careful observer estimates that $1KO-
000,000 is expended annually In the United
States for newspaper advertising and that a
like sum Is paid by the merchants of this
great country of ours for other than news
paper publicity each } car. TUIa enormous
sum , $300,000000 expended each } car for ad
vert sing alirost st ggers eco lo roi coif late.
When wo learn also tthat fully one-half of
this vast sum Is absolutely wasted be
cause of poorly prepared copy ami injudicious
selection of mediums , the Importance of
this matter 'becomes ' very apparent. j
No intelligent man would attempt to enter
the field of business without a knowledge o ( I
the goods ho expected to handle , or a
knouledire of hiiRhipss methods. Neither
would he contract for the carriage of his
goods from the markets to his 'home ' city In
n hot air balloon , when substantial freight
trains , 'running ' on fixed schedules , were
available. Intelligent direction Is just ' -8
necessary for the securing of proper returns
from Investments in advertising space ns
In tmjIiiR ami disposing of any kind of
merchantable wares. This being true , It
becomes the duty of the merchant to demand
that tangible evidence of the value of n
proposed medium be forthcoming.
H must be borne In mind that even circula
tion , great as Is Its value , Is not the only
vlitue of a medium by any means. Suppose ,
for the sake of argument. What the blotter
schemer , mentioned last week , had actually
printed nnJ distributed the 10,000 promised ,
Instead of the 100 actually pilnted , how
would such a circulation compare with that
cf ,1 newspaper , full of Interesting domestic ,
foreign and telegraphic news , having 10,000
clidilation. The advertiser on the blotter
would have to rely solely on chance to catch
a customer. His advertisement ne'ver guts
Into a home , very few we men sco It and It
Is about as likely to bear friTit as a petrified
chestnut tree.
Newspapers nnd magazines are sold , not
given away. Ti.cy are purchase ! for 'the ' lu-
frestlng news they contain. Tney are wel
comed , rend and preserved The news helps
the advertiser's ad to attract attention , utter
It has brought It before the reader , and
multiplies its chances of being read a
hundre 1-fold over the blotter , the dodger , the
prog-ram or the directory.
An Omaha merchant reports that ho Is
nveiuglng seventeen calls from the Fakir
each daj- , already , and thnt he expects the
record to reach ono a minute by June 1.
The merchant , especially the retail mer
chant of Onnha , has contributed nobly to
the support of the exposition , and he ough
not to be subjected to the aiinojance of thcs
wolfish fakirs , who flock to exposition cltle
like buzzards to .1 carcass They pay n
taxes , beat 'their ' board bills when they can
ami iob everybody with whom they come It
contact. The police ought to protect on
citizens from the footpad , the short-elmcig
ii'iin and the pickpocket , but the retail mcr
chant must protect himself from the ad
vcrtiiing faith If the merchants would In
slst on each and every schemer reducing hi
statements and promises to writing , nnd the > .
signing the same. It would place him more
nearly on nn equal footing with the-e oil }
prevaricators , nnd free him , in nine case
out of ten , from further annojance. Thei
whno the tenth one shows up , miiKe bin
fulfi ) ! the contract to the letter before pay
ing him a cent. A little cross tlio of this
port will fix the fakir. Turn on the galling
gun and rout these rascals.
Theo wVirds are not wri.ten in the Itrtciest
of any newspaper or set of newspapers , , for
the merchants of Omaha unlfoimlj trta

There promises to bo a scarcity of good
(
material In the dog market If the local |
! Klondlko fo\cr Is not soon subdued At
, leant that Is the opinion of tlio owners of f
valuable canlno flesh , for their pets have
j had n habit lately of disappearing with J
j startling frequency. Fully seventy-five dogs
have been surreptitiously separated from
their owners during the last fortnight , and
none of them have c\er returned. It Is prob-
able that the dogs are now already In
Seattle or en route to that city and that In
the course of a month or bo they will be
tolling over the Skngway or Cullcoot passes
with miners' supplies.
About two weeks ngo a modestly dressed
old man with white hair and. gray whiskers
accompanied by two jounger men , appeared
, In the city and announced they were agents '
for a supply firm In Seattle They stated ,
their quest to this city was the securing
| of a carload of dogs , about 150 In number ,
and that from $3 to $5 would bo paid for
good , healthy dogs. A canvass was made of
the residence portions of the city and at
I each place visited the first question asked
I was If the household owned a dog. If
'answered ' In the alllrmatlvo a rcaucat to
see the dog was made anil If It chanced to
bo of the shepherd , Newfoundland or St.
' Hcrnard breeds an offer was at once made
| to purchase In many Instances sales wore
1 made , but In others a mono } consideration
| was of no moment to the owners of the
pets.
' About , twenty-fhe dogs were purchased b >
i the strangers , but this was ovldciitb not
| enough A few dajs later dogs belonging lethe
the residents who had been called upon be-
I pin to disappear. Coirnlalnts were made-
' to the I'ollcu , but the thlevi\3 were not loca
ted. The epidemic of dog stealing llrst
Irolte out In Kountrc Place , where about
half a dozen were taken Among the vlc-
tlms was 0 A Scott. 2 ° ll North Nineteenth

re'dlgrecd shepherd dog which he valued at

bomo twenty dogs failed to respond to the
whistles of their owners next morning
Among thorn was a Newfoundland belonging
to A. Hobertc , living .it Knit-fifth and nib-
kino streets The dog wan valued by Its
owner at about $13 From this places the
epidemic spread to Walnut Hill , also the
eastern portion of Orchard Hill , and at eacli
place the kernels were made desolate mid
the juvenile hcait sad by the loss of "Carlo"
end "Shep "
The losses became so frequent In the
suburbs last week that the teachers in the
Clifton Hill and Wa'uut ' Hill schools warned
their * "holars to tie their dogs In the burner
or lock them ip In the house If they wished
to preserve them fiom Wie cani'ie bogey
man. In splto of this , however , the dogb
still disc' pear. Other cities besides Omaha
have complained of similar experiences amd
the police have been on the lookout foi the
cause for some time pist.

Health Commissioner Scalding , Dr. Halph ,
Inspector of conteiKioiib diseases ; City Veteri
narian Kairacclottl and Milk Inspector Hut-
ton.
ton.Dr.
Dr. Spaldlng briefly reviews the general
work of the department calls attention
to the necessity for several Improvements.
Ho shows , that the percentage of deaths from
diphtheria In ISO" was 17 7 as compared with
22.4 In the previous } eai , and he considers
the lite of anti-toxin PS responsible for the
linpiove'inent. The hospital bills amounted
to ? S34.97 , of which fully ? 150 was en ac
count of case's that properly belonged to the
county. Ho contends that the icccssitlcs
of the department re quire ! nn ambulance and
cineigciic } hospital and an additional meat
Inspector.
The report of the inspector of contagious
diseases shuns that there were ! ) CO deaths ;
from all cas.es during the je-ar , which represents - I
resents n ilnnth rn.li * of (1 ( S m i thnnujinil n
a population of 140,000 There were 219 ca es
oi diphtheria with thirty-nine deaths and 134
eases of scarlatina with only nine deaths
There were sixty-eight cases of enteric fe\cr ,
of whom twentlo ( died The number of
births was 1,905 which was about the s-imo
as in the joars Immediately preceding
Tne leport of the milk Inspector Is bised
argelj on Ulio re-cords loft by S L Dayd , as
: he present Inspector only sc-T-ert during the
ast month of the } cur It shows In deb.II
.he amount of work that was done during
the year and that the receipts of the ofllce
amounted to $2,039.S5 The tests of milk
showed an average per cent of 3 R ,
Dr. Hamncclottl ealls atten lo'i to the neccs
slty for some effective legislation to prevent
the le of dlKeabcd meat In the clt } . Ho
says that there are two slaughter houses , one
at South Omaha and the other at Itcnson ,
\lilch are largely responsible for the out
rage
The repoit of Cleik Clancey of the police
court Kliows that there wcio 0,1 in cases
llsposed of during the jcar , of which 4J2
\oro felonies There' we're 1.S3S convictions
ind IHOS dismissals Judge Ooidon em-
ilmsl/cb the demand for a new jail nnd wnrk-
ouse and also for a clearei duflnlton of the
