The council , In committee of the whol
yesterday afternoon spent another couple
hours In talking over the matter of glvli
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal compai
the right of way to lay tracks along Fou
tccnth street to Hurt and then southeas
wardljr to Eighth and Capitol avenue at
tnado some progress toward ultimately a
riving at Rome conclusion. Another mee
Ing will bo held this afternoon to consld
fiomo proposed amcudmonts to the ordlnan
presented by property owners and when th
meeting Is concluded It Is hoped that tl
ordinance will bo In proper shape for pa
cage. Amended , the ordinance will pass.
Yesterday afternoon's meeting brougl
forth facts that will Hwccp away the grouni
for the objections that have been made I
tlto north bottoms manufacturers again
the ordinance. They alleged that If tl
Terminal company Is given a right to It
tracks on Fourteenth street the thorougt
faro will cease to be the only level means i
access they have into the city and they wl
bo bottled up. This objection will be r <
moved by an agreement , Into which Qcnen
Manager Webster of the Terminal compar
and Solicitor White of the Chicago , S
Paul , Minneapolis & Omnha road have et
tercd , according to the statements made t
them at the meeting.
According to this agreement the Oraat
road will tear up a thousand feet or more <
railroad track which It now has on the tet
foot sidewalk space on the outer side <
the west curb line of Fourteenth stree
This lies between Nicholas and Durt. Tt
Terminal company will lay a double trac
of road on Us own lund until It reacht
Nicholas street. At this point the tv ,
tracks will merge Into one , which will t
laid on this ten-foot sidewalk space. Tr
track will run single to Hurt street unt
It again reaches land owned by the Termini
company , when It will again split Into tv ,
tracks. By this means Fourteenth strei
will remain the width It Is at presun
forty feet , and that Is considered adcqual
for all traffic by wagon between the elt
and the north bottoms.
Whut the Omaha Ilnnil AVnntn.
The Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis
Omaha road , however , will want some cor
Bldcratlon for this concession on Its part-
tor tearing up the track on the ten-foi
Bldowalk space which It laid without an
authority from the city. The road dealn
that the city give It clear title to the twentj
foot jog In the west side of the street. Th
twenty feet would be a portion of the strei
were the latter between Nicholas and Curt
ing street 100 feet \\ldc , as It Is along its re
malnlng length throughout the city.
"We want the right to the land specif
cally given In order to clear up the muddle ,
declared Solicitor White. "We claim till
to It anyway by adverse possession. Tlu
strip has been covered by our track fc
twenty years. "
City Attorney Connell , however , gave It s
his opinion that the road Is not entitled t
the twenty feet In the following languagt
"In 1866 the city gave to the Union Paclfl
Railroad company a big batch of land , In
eluding all of Fourteenth street betwec
Nicholas and Cumlngs street ? , for depot put
poses. The city opened Fourteenth strei
through this land ntul narrowed It to Blxt
feet , permitting the Union Pacific toretal
twenty feet on cither side. The Union Pa
olflo still owns the twenty-foot strip on tt
east side and I believe that under the grar
it Is the legal owner of It at present. 1
would also be the legal owner of the twenty
foot strip on the west side did It hold It.
"But In 1895 the Union Pacific sold to th
Omaha road this western strip. Now , th
land was given to the Union Pacific fc
depot purposes , that Is , that the Unto
Pacific might build Its depot and necessar
trackage facilities upon It. But the condl
tton Is attached that If the land Is not use
city. Now , when the strip was sold to tb
Omaha road , It was not thereafter used fc
Union Pacific depot purposes and therefot
the Omaha road has no title to It. My cor
elusion la that the land reverts back to tt
city and Is now owned by the latter. "
A written opinion from the city attorne
is to be forthcoming before the Omaha roa
la given a clear title to the land.
ClearlnK Atvuy tlie Mynlery.
Another variety of objections to the prt
posed ordinance was presented. One WE
tnado by Councilman Mercer and In t !
coursa of the argument regarding It tt
mystery as tohat road or roads are 1
use the Terminal company's tracks wt
partially uncovered. According to Genen
Manager Webster of the Terminal compan
the Port Arthur Is the only one In prospei
t present.
"What now road Is to come over yet
tracks ? " asked Councilman Mercer In tt
with the Tel
couree of a by-conversation
mlnal company's manager.
"Well , It Is not exactly a new road , " it
ponded Mr. Webster. "I have no grei
objections to tolling you It Is the Po
Arthur. We may have another , howeve
before t. year Is past. "
This was not satisfactory to Councllma
Mercer and he so expressed himself later.
"Before I vote for this ordinance I wai
a definite condition Inserted In it thi
within one year or two years or some det
nlto time the Terminal company secur * at
bring a new road into Omaha or forfeit I
right , " he declared. "I do not want to gli
the Terminal company a right of way fi
nothing and allow them to hold It as
peculation selling five or six years fro
cow a right of way that will be worl
hundreds of thousands of dollars for whlc
they paid nothing. "

DelmtltiK the Snow Illocknile.
The remaining portion of the meetln
was devoted to considering a few crcmmltU
matters. Among other things the raattt
of removing the snow from the downtow
streets was dlecussed , but no action ws
taken. It was asserted that only a wee
ago the Board of Public Works had bee
given $3,600 with' which to clean strecl
during the remainder of the year an
might use so tno of this money to clear part
of the downtown section , The Idea of haul

and a communication regarding tt was pi
on file. This was another advertlsln
scheme.
KANSAS CITY'S COMMCItCIAL CI.UI
Freight CommlHHloner Franklin Tell
of IIIn Unrenu'n Work.
Clinton Franklin , formerly agent of tl
Merchants' Despatch in this city , spent
part of lost week here examining the frelgt
tariffs on the Union Pacific railroad In be
half of the transportation bureau of th
Kansas City Commercial club. Ho Is no
employed by the bureau to keep the mci
chants of Kansas City posted on wester
freight rates.
In speaking of his work Mr. Frankll
said : "There is no doubt that the trans
portatlou bureau does an immense amour
of good for the commercial interests c
Kansas City. It costs something like $12,00
3. year to maintain , but the merchants evl
ilently think they get more than that amour
of benefit from it for they continue It froi
year to year , and have recently enlarge
Its scope * . I asked a prominent business ma
there the other day It ho thought the burca
paid the city , and he replied that Kansa
City * .would not know how to get along with
out It. For Instance , last week we learne
that on two days of the latter part of thl
month the 'Frisco line was going to runlet
lot of cheap excursions Into St. Louis. I
less than twenty-four hours similar excur
slons for equally low rates were arrange
Into Kansas City not only on the 'Frlsc
load , but on several others as well. We'r
not letting anything got away from Kansa
City If wo'can ' help It.
"We also keep the merchants posted o
the lowest freight rates. A Kansas Clt
Jobber can come to the transportation hurea
at any time and find out just how much I
will cost him to ship goods to any part c
the west. Then ho can also learn bow muc
It will cost the merchant of St. Louis , Cbl
cage , St. Joseph or Omaha to send his good
into the same town. From this comparteo
ha can readily learn whether it will b
worth while for him to send out his travel
Ing men to work up trade in that partlcula
territory. "

A fight for the haul of the Internatlom
Opera company from Omaha to Now Yet
has been avoided and the business equal !
divided among the four competing Omahi
Chicago lines. There are sixty-six membei
In the company , nnd fifty-two of the :
went east last evening. Fourteen will sta
In the west and endeavor to organize then :
selves Into a concert company. The dlvlslc
win give each of the Omaha-Chicago llm
thirteen passengers , but as none of tt
lines are superstitious they will accept the
share and bo thankful to get it. East <
Chicago the business will bo divided nmon
the Nickel Plate , the Baltimore & Ohio , tb
Panhandle , the Wabash and the Gran
Trunk.
There was a prospect for a lively flgt
over the business , and the management (
the opera company was happy over tt
chances for low rates should the lines g <
to fighting over the business. The opei
manager was somewhat chagrined on Sal
urday afternoon , however , to find that th
Omaha-Chicago lines had agreed to pool th
business. Efforts to break the agreemet
failed , and a division of the buslnes
undoubtedly obtained. If it did the Omah
Passenger association will have attractc
the favorable notice of general passenge
agents and general managers twice wlthl
thirty days. A scramble for the Mldwa
and other exposition business out of hen
after the big show closed Its gates , was prt
vented , and the Midway denizenscompolle
to pay two-thirds regular fare , the buslnes
being divided among all the lines. Th
same arrangement has been made for th
operatic stars.

Bessie Bonehlll , the popular vaudevlll

going lo bring suit against an Omaha rail
road company for heavy damages. Sh
should have arrived 'here ' from St. Paul o
Sunday morning , but did not get in unt
after 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon , to
late to fill her matinee engagement , and sh
could not take part In the evening perfoi

Bessla selected a circuitous route to travt

the line of the Chicago Great Western fror
St. Paul to Marshalltown , la. She change
cars there , coming into Omaha over th
Chicago & Northwestern. She is not quit
certain whether the delay Is the fault of th
Great Western , the Northwestern , or th
transfer company at Marshalltown whlc'
hauls passengers and their baggage betwee :
the two stations , but she Is surely going t
bring suit.

There is considerable conjecture abou

position aa division superintendent or th
offlcf of assistant superintendent of motlv

known of the matter except that McKeei
Is President Burl's nephew and Is expectei

FORT CROOK , Neb. , Nov. 28. To the
Editor of The Bee : After having walked
ihrough the snow over a drifted road to at-
: end the morning service at the Bellcvuc
Presbyterian church a few companions and
nyself wore given a very cool reception.
\fter we were seated wo were Informed that
soldiers were not allowed to sit with the
eat of the congregation and were allotted
i seat in the rear of the others. I Inferred
.hat our presence was a nuisance and Im
mediately left the church and plodded back
: o the barracks. We spent a most enjoya-
ilo Sunday morning , I assure you. Before
eavlng I noticed a dog propped up in a
seat beside its mistress. There was nothing
> ald to the dog , however , which plainly
ibows that dogs hold the preference of the
saintly Bellevueans.
A short time ago the Bellevue people
seemed very desirous to have us attend
.heir meetings Judging from the innumera
ble invitations sent us by them and their
pastor.
I would like to know the cause of their
itrange attitude toward us.

"Snow flurries have been quite genera
over the entire northwest , but there hav <
been no severe storms , and what Is more , '
remarked Local Forecast Offichl Wrlsh o
the weather bureau , "thcro are none It
sight at thin time. "
The weather tnnp Issued yesterday Indkatci
an unsettled condltlou of weather over th <
Missouri and Mississippi valleys , with warn
waves In spots. The same conditions preval
throughout the United States , wl'h ' the ex
ception of along the north Atlantic coast
where a blizzard has been raging , which li
presumed to bo the tall-end of the stern
that visited this section last week.
While Local Odlclal Welsh Is not Giylnf
a word about the prospects of a severe
winter , there are a number of old-tlmon
about the Government bulldlni ; who an
willing nnd anxious to stake tholr rcpu'.a
tluns that this winter will go down Intc
history as a record breaker for cold. Thej
say that way back about 1856 there was I
winter where the first snow fell early Ir
October nnd continued on the ground utitl
the following May. They add that thl :
winter resembles the fore part of that on <
in about every particular.

Bee , Nov. Zl.
This is your last chance to read about our Boys'
Ulsters and Kcofors before Christinas time. Wo
would impress on parents the desirability of buying
them now. Today wo can show complete lines in all
sized and at all prices from $1.25 up to § 4.50. The 4
§ 1.25 line consists of Blue and Black Reefers made
from heavy Chinchilla , double-breasted , with either
plain or brass buttons , and a much bettor coat than
you could possibly imagine without seeing it. At
§ 2.50 wo have a complete line of handsome Chin
chilla Reefers in otter-brown color , heavy , soft ,
warm.
You can think of the best coat you over bought
for $2.50. It's better than that. Think of the best
you ever bought for § 3.00. It's better than that.
Think of the best you ever saw for § 4.50. It's
almost as good as that. These coats are so good
that if our price tags were not on them wo could got
four dollars for them and mothers would think they
were pretty good value at that. We will have some
thing lo say about Boys' Ulsters tomorrow. Mean
time come in and see those Reefers If you want
one for a Christmas present we will lay it away.
