TAX SALES MAKING TROUBLE
Union Pacific and the Kansas Authorities
Engage in a Neat Diipute.
KNOTTY POINT OF LAW IS INVOLVED
night of n nonil Undemolnt ; Liqui
dation to Iniiiiunltr ( mm Ordinary
Operation of Lair In the
t'lvnt or the Cane.
The reorganized Union Pacific has In
herited from ttio receivership a nlco Itttlo
legal fight In the state of Kansas. At pres
ent the Rht baa only reached the stage of
a controversy between General Solicitor
Kelly of 'tho Union Pacific on the
ono hand and the attorney gen
eral and a number ot county
attorneys of Kansas on the other , but from
appearances thcro Is gcod reason to believe
the matter will work UB way up to the
highest courts before a final Battlement is
rcachod.
The controversy Is over a considerable
amount of land In western Kansas and east
ern Colorado , The land has been sold at va
rious Umes because of the refusal of lie Union
Piclflo road to pay the taxes on the land.
The company now refuses to surrender the
land to the purchasers , maintaining that
no clear title can be given to
the land on account of the failure of the
counties to whom the delinquent taxes were
duo to notify the receivers of the Union
Pacific of the sale of their lands.
The question Is one of vast Importance to
many counties of western Kansas and east
ern Coloorado , and the attorney general of
Kansas estimates that It will bo a fight to
the finish. C. F. Dlffenbacher , attorney of
Barton county , and J. C. Kupenthal , "attor
ney ot Rusaell county , Kansas , have be-
Beechcd the attorney general ot that com
monwealth for legal aid In their fight , and
ho hoi told them In reply to bide their time
while he looks up the law and makes out a
case against the railroad company.
HUtorr of the Matter.
During the receivership ot the Union Pa
cific a great deal of the lands In the coun
ties mentioned belonging to the company
were sold on account ot the failure of the
company to pay Ita delinquent taxes. The
lands were obtained by the Union Pacific
under Ita original land grant , the govern
ment giving to the Union Pacific each al
ternate section for ten miles on either side
of the railroad line.
When the treasurers of the counties In
question oould not obtain the delinquent
taxes from the Union Pacific they advertised
the lands for sale , Just the same as though
the lands belonged to any Individual de
linquent. At the stated time the lands
were sold.
General Solicitor Kelly now maintains
that the county treasurers were too
hasty with their sales. Ho says that the
proper form of procedure against a road
llko the then Union Pacific In the state of
receivership would have been to file with
the federal couit a claim for the taxes due
and then secure an order ot the court on
the receivers for the payment of the taxes.
Up to date the Union Pacific has de
clined to give up possession of the lands or
to pay the delinquent taxes with all ot the
costs of advertising sale , other expenses
and sales , as provided for by law. The
company does , however , now seek to clear
up the muddle , and Incidentally hold pos
session of Ita lands , by the payment of the
delinquent taxes and the legal penalties.
It holds that the expenses of the sale should
not be born * by the company. It alao holds
the land.
FASTEST MAIL IN TUB WORLD

Other * IB the Race.
General Manager Drown of the Chicago ,
Burlington ft Qulncy la authority for the
statement that the proposed changes In the
fast mall service between Chicago and
Omaha will not go into effect right away ,
It Is thought they are scheduled for January
1 , 1899. It Is known that the railway mall
service and the Lake Shore officials have
not yet finally agreed upon the tlmo card
change * Into Chicago that are contemplated
In the meanwhile both the Burllngtor
and the Northwestern svstems are keeping
their eye wide open for the mall contract
between Chicago and Omaha. The Bur
lington road now hauls th <
mall and desires to continue Iti
present service. But the Northwesterr
is going to make a final effort to wrest this
contract away from the Burlington. It II
can show faster tlmo with Its new mall tralr
perlor service on the cut-off of forty-sever
miles from Missouri Valley , la. , to Fremont
from Chicago to Omaha for seven consecu
ttve days , It Is 'likely to get the contract
The Northwestern will base Its claim for su-
Neb. , delivering the overland mall to th <
Union Pacific at Fremont and paving betweer
an hour and eighty-five mlnutca In time. Th <
Northwestern will also carl attention to thi
recent shortening of Its line In Iowa by thi
removal ot Innumerable curve * and them \ -
provement by the cutting down of steej
grades.
On the other hand the Burlington argue :
Its superiority In past speed tests betweci
Chicago and Omaha for mall contracts K
a precedent , and expresses Its wlllingneei
to renew the competition at any time. Thi
Burlington men In Omaha say that It li
the ability ot the "Q" engineers to drlv
their engines for all they are worth tba
enables them to make the best time , am
they have supreme confidence In their en
glneers to beat any other lln at any tlmi
from Chicago to Omaha. One thing Is sure
and that is that some lively running 1
apt to be seen on both lines during thi
present month. Reports from Burlington
la. , are to the effect that the engineers 01
the Iowa division are all getting ready to
runs of ton hours and even nln
and a halt bourn from Chicago to Omaha
averaging over fifty miles an hour for th
whole run , Including stops , slowing down
And the climbing of the Iowa bills. It I
Mid the Burlington feels that It win hav
to make nine and a halt hours for the en
tire run In order to offset the advantage o

A few special trains loaded with directors
nnd other officials have made the run from
Chicago to Omaha In nine hours and a half ,
but no ono has ever thought ot such a
schedule for a regular dally train. This
tlmo has been made by the specials , with
crossings guarded and switches spiked.
Whether It can bo done every day Is a ques
tion. If It should be , there win be no doubt
but that the train that carries the mall from
Chicago to Omaha will be the fastest mall
train In the world.

Freight Men Unable to Tell Anrthlna
of the Situation.
"Ob , what will the harvest be ? " whistled
a freight aent yesterday as some of his
solicitors returned from the etrect and told
him of the lowneeked rates that were being
quoted all about town by competing lines.
This Is a kind of carnival week with the
freight rates. Next week an the freight
rates expect to better , but at preucnt they
are completely demoralized.
Some of the freight men say there are no
rates , while others say rat * matters are simply
In a bad Ehape for a few days and add their
unbiased belief that nothing but tariff rates
will be quoted after December 6. Packing
houses products from South Omaha are be
ing moved out on unheard-of figures. No
one outside the deal knone what these rates
are. The published tariffs of all the lines
ahow that the packing house rates have been
openly cut from 18 % cents to
10 cents per 100 pounds from Omaha to the
Mississippi river , and from 23 % cents to
IB cents per 100 pounds from Omaha to
Chicago. There are supposed to be lower
rates than these now In force , all to be
withdrawn on December 6. The rates on
egg * and dressed poultry have taken a drop
of 15 cents per 100 pounds from Omaha to
Mississippi river points.
Omaha Is not the only city getting cbeap
freight rates for a few days. Here are a
few of the cut rates now In effect from St.
Louis westbound to Missouri river points :
Cotton piece goods , from 35 to 6 cents ; no
tions , (0 to 14 cents ; on hardware , from 45
.o 8 cents ; on glassware , from 27 to 9
ients.
The Omaha freight men who attended
he freight meeting In St. Louis to check
p grain rates have returned home. They
iay that the few changes made In the grain
tariffs of the western lines at this meeting
111 result favorably to Omaha. The
hanges were slight , but all of them were
n the nature of an Increase In grain rates
, o Kansas City from that part of Nebraska
.bout Lincoln , Superior and Hastings.
REMOVES A MA9TGR-IN-CIIAKCERY.
Judge mien of Salt Lake Chances ) the
Petition of B. D. Looraln.
The order of Judge Hlles of Salt Lake
Ity removing George D. Loomls , mastcr-
n-chancery In charge of the sale of the
Utah Central railroad , as briefly announced
n yesterday's press dispatches , was no sur-
TFO to railroad officials In Omaha , as most
f them had been apprised of the situation
.hrough their Bait Lake agencies.
Since the sale of the road the master-ln-
bancery has been enjoyng | a protracted
acatlon. His friends say he Is in Illinois
( siting relatives and that be has been on
trip to England since the sale. They be-
leve that ho has the money from the sale
n deposit In a bank and will turn It over
when he returns.
It Is said that about $25,000 has not yet
> een turned over. Judge Hlles has ordered
Deputy Clerk Blair of Salt Lake City to
heck the accounts of Loomls and to report
exact amount of the shortage -If one
wclsts. The work will probably be com-
ileted within two weeks.

WINTER BEGINS HIS CONTES1
Election of Shield ! Serlonslr Callet
la Question by Him Opponent
for the Position.
As yesterday was the last day of the tlmi
allowed by the law for the filing of paper ,
n an election contest the petition In th
contest of Phil E. Winter against Georg <
W. Shields over the county attorneyshl )
was filed with the clerk of the county cour
during the afternoon.
There were several grounds set forth litho
the paper. Perhaps the most Important 1
one assailing the constitutionality of th
election law In the particular that It allow
a candidate's name 10 be placed upon th
ballot In as many columns as the dlfferon
parties ot which ho Is the nominee. Thi ,
s chapter xxxl ot the Laws of 1897. H
also asserts that sections 15 and 21 of th
aw are conflicting , and that they mlsleai
both the voters and the election officers.
The other charges are that 1,347 vote
were wrongfully accredited to Shields In al
the ninety-nine precincts ; malconduct 01
the part ot the election officers and the ac
ceptance of Illegal votes and rejection o
egal ones. Ho docs not particularize a
o what acts constituted the malconduc
alleged , because , he says , he will leave tha
until the trial of the case. It Is a vcr
voluminous document and goes Into detail
as to the discrepancies charged In eacl
precinct. Summing up , the petition allow
to Shields 8,641 votes Instead of the 9,19
given him in the official count , and Wlnte
claims for himself 8,914 votes Instead of th
8.249 accredited to him by the county can
vasa. Thus ho claims a majority eve
Shields of ,383.
Mr. Winter proposes to watch the outcom
of the Klcrstcad-Connolly recount to get
more tangible basis for his contest. Whe
asked It he Intended to endeavor to knoc
out the present election law he salt
simply , that he "assailed It , " but would nc
discuss the matter further.

MISSOURI ASKED TO SETTLE
President Sterrett of the Riponltlon
Comnilimlon Makes 111 * Ileport
to the Governor.
President F. M. Sterrett of the Missouri
Exposition commission has submitted his
report to Governor Stephens of that ctate
and la addition to the report there Is a re
quest that the legislature make an appro
priation ot $3,000 to reimburse the mem
bers of the commission for money which
hey expended In collecting , Installing and
maintaining the Missouri exhibit.
In his report to Governor Stephens Presi
dent Sterrett outlines the work accom
plished by the Missouri commission , show
ing that all money used was raised by sub
scription and that It aggregated but $14-
029.99. As an offset he points to the fact
hat Missouri was represented In every de
partment of the exposition with creditable
displays and that the state received slxty-
hree gold , thirty-four silver , sixty-throe
bronze medals'and sixty-three diplomas , be
sides 146 stock ribbons In the live stock
ehow. He adds that the awards which the
state captured exceeded those of any other
state and as many as "our eastern-northern
neighbors combined , although Illinois bad
an appropriation of $45,000 , Iowa $35,000 and
Kansas $30,000. "
President Sterrett adds that Missouri se
cured twice ea many awards as at the
World's fair at Chicago In 1893 and that
here awards were as difficult to obtain a *
there , owing to the exceedingly close com
petition.

We told you early in the week' about some special
offerings in Boys' Reefer overcoats at. 1.25 , l.GO and
2.50 , and today we call attention to them again. Wo
think you don't ' understand how good they aro. If
you did there wouldn't bo any loft now to talk about
for we didn't got many and wo couldn't get many
the way they were bought. The 1.25 ones are good
warm little garments well made and well lined and
fitted with either brass buttons or plain. They are
in sizes up to 8 years. The 1.50 ones are worth 2.60
easily. The 2.5 J ones are worth four dollars of any
woman's money. They aw fine stylish looking coata
made up from heavy Chinchilla , soft , warm , fleecy
and they come in two handsome shades of brown
and to fit boys as old as 15 years. If we could take
these three offerings around to the school houses and
show 'em up alongside of any coats that were hang *
ing up in the coat room we would get enough orders
to clean 'em out in one day but wo can't do that and
we want parents to come in here and see them. We
also have Boys' Ulsters that are worth seeing.
