Oiniilin 1'nrtlen Secure nil Option on n Fnvornhle Site. It was reported yesterday that Omaha parties , whose names could not bo learned , had secured an option on what Is known ns the Whitney property , located at the southwest - | west corner of Eighth street and Broadway. It In reported that the parties securing the I option have done so In the Interests of the Omaha Hallway Bridge and Terminal com pany. The property In question , which fnces on Broadway , takes In the east half of the block between Eighth and Ninth streets. The corner two lots are unim proved , while the others have but small frame buildings on them. The understand ing Is that the Terminal company la de sirous of securing this property for a local depot. At present the Terminal company Is using the old Union Pacific dummy depot at the southwest corner of Ninth and Broad way or Its passenger trains , and should It decide on building a depot on this property It will be obliged to extend Its tracks across the Lake Mamiwa railway right of way on Ninth street. The west half of the block between Eighth and Ninth streets Is unim proved , aud It is believed that possibly the Terminal company intends to try to secure possession of the entire block. The trans action , so far aa It has gone , Is being kept very quiet , and all real estate men approached preached on the subject profess to know nothing about the option having been Rlvon , although the Information that such a deal Is pending comes a from well known banker of the city , who Is > to some extent Interested In the transaction. What with the proposed plans of the Great Western , 'the ' Fort Dodge & Omaha and the Terminal road the prospects for considerable railroad work In this city next year appear at pres ent to bo of the brightest.

Between Fort Dodge and Mason City , along the Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad , one firm alone has nearly 500,000 bushels In cribs. Much of It has been there since 1896. Friday the owners , E. R. Pratt & Co. of Decatur , 111. , gave orders to Mason City road ofilclals to move 100,000 bushels cast at once. In a recent trip through Nebraska a Fort Dodge man saw very many cribs of old corn. Five and six large cribs nt a single station was no un usual sight. lotvn I'ri'MM Comment. Waterloo Reporter : Cedar Rapids has been worked again by n subscription solic itor. It appears to be n "dead easy" town to work , notwithstanding the efforts of the papers to keep the people from the wiles of the spoilsmen. The more unreasonable the offer in a business way the greater the temptation to Invest. It Is sad , but It Is so , nnd probably always will be. Sioux City Journal : In July , 1897. the re sources of the Omaha National banks amounted to $17,040,894.61. At the oloso of business September 20 , 1898 , the resources of these banks amounted to $23,408,531.68. The Increase during the year , therefore , IB shown to be $5,521,537.01. In some quarters this would pass as suggestive of an improve ment in the times In Omaha. Keokuk Gate City : The results of the vote on the liquor question in Canada Is simply another Illustration of the fart that lots of men will vote for prohibition who are unwilling to enforce such a law or lessen the demand for liquor by refraining from Its use personally. They vote for It on the high moral ground of hoping that It may poFslbl- bo of benefit to the other fellow. That's a good deal easier for some pcoplo than practicing a total abstinence. Burlington Hnwkeye : One of the minor offices too often neglected In our elections Is that of road supervisor. It Is Important to select capable and reliable men for that office. The road supervisor , if intelligent , experienced and zealous for good thorough fares , has It within his power to glvo the public excellent roads all the year round. Ho will bo watchful and make repairs when most needed and not wait until "some morr convenient season" when the farmers arc not busy. It sometimes happens that after r. severe storm which has washed gulllo ? on thP hillsides or caused other damages a little prompt attention will save much labor aud cost that would follow If repair * are not delayed aud at the same time will glvo the public the benefit of good roadu with very little interruption. .

VICTIMS ARE NOT PLENTIFUL I'optillMtR Ilavlnu 11 llnrd Time .Sccur- InK Men to TilUe 1'lllfen nil Their Ticket. PIERRE. S. D. , Oct. C. ( Special. ) The fusion element In this county , led by John Sutherland , Is having a hard time with Its county ticket. First their nominee for county Judge withdrew his name from the ticket on tbo ground that ho was neither a sllvcrlte , a democrat , nor a populist , and ho had no place on the ticket. Next E. F. Dorothy , their nominee for sheriff , notified thorn that he had enough before he started. They then asked their nominee for treas urer to get out of the way , and offered this place to Dorothy , but ho refused It on the name grounds that ho had refused the other nomination. Another man was then taken up for sheriff , and at the present tlmo the combination Is puiring every string It can hold to get him to accept , but are not cer tain they have him yet. It Is rumored that they will bo compelled to make other changes before they finally get a ticket to stick. All this shows that the strength which they are advertising for themselves over the state Is not given credence hero where the facts are known , as they would have no trouble In fillllng out their ticket If they had half ( lie chance of winning which they claim for themselves. Hon. C. II Burke , the republican nominee for congress , has been at home for several days , under advice of his physician , but will attempt to go upon the stump again In a day or two , with a hope that he will be able to go ahead with the campaign. All the different tickets nominated In this state have been finally filed In the office of tbo secretary of state , the last to be filed be ing tbo prohibition ticket. The tickets of the populist , democratic and free sllvcrltes all bear the same names , and while each will bo given a place on the ballot , to vote cither one of them has tbo same effect , Hurried Trip to WiiMlilniclon.

( Special. ) No ono can have the faintest conception of the awfulness of the timber fire which raged west of this city this week without vis iting the desolate waste of charred tim bers and smoldering brush heaps which alone survive the terrible heat and wind. For ten days the fire had been burning on Iron creek , about twelve miles west of Deadwood. There was In this district some of the best pine timber to bo found In the Black IIIlls. On Tuesday afternoon a strong wind came up from the west and al'most In an Instant the fire started nt a terrible rate down the toward , gulch Spearfish canyon i Those who witnessed It stale that burning branches were torn from the tree tops and carried with the speed ot the fastest horse ' a half mile , where they Instantly set fire to whatever they struck. When Spenrflsh canyon was reached the wind was blowing Its hardest and without a stop the burning firebrands were swept across the canyon and the flro sped on Its way toward Ragged Top and Carbonate camps. The wind was very changeable. Ragged Top camp was saved from destruction by a shift of the wind , People In Deadwood , Lead and the sur rounding camps spent most of the nights watching with apprehension the glowing sky in fear that a repetition of the terrible fire of three years ago might happen. Governor Lee was in Deadwood nt the tlmo and after wiring to Washington and receiving orders to order out men to protect the cities from the flro ho proceeded gather a crowd of men for that purpose. The flro has nearly burned Itself out and there Is now practically no more danger to be expected. Reports are coming In of several miners' cabins and dwelling houses that wcro destroyed and a great many deer and bear are reported burned. No lives Test , although several families with children had very narrow es capes and two men had a race of three ' miles on their horses , after cutting them loose from the wagon. The ground burned over is estimated to bo about twenty miles long and from twelve to fifteen miles wide , i i | Favor n Snake Ilounty. { i CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Oct. 6. ( Special. ) Residents of Aurora county are agitating the question of having the stale or the county offer a bounty for the killing of rat tlesnakes , which this year appear to bo un usually numerous In some parts of South Dakota. In some parts of the bad lands there are said to bo regular dens con taining thousands of rattlesnakes. This summer , however , they have been quite numerous hi some sections east of the river , especially In Aurora county , and the de mand that a bounty bo placed upon them Is the result. Those agitating this unique bounty argue that a bounty Is paid for wolves , which do nothing worse than to kill cattle and horses , and for gophers , while rattlesnakes , which destroy human life , are permitted to multiply without molestation.
