sentative of the Coining
Corporation.
Any doubt that may have existed about
the coming of the lllnols Central railroad
Into Omaha Is removed by the announce
ment of the purchase of a large block of
ground on the north side of the Union Pa
cific tracks , between Seventeenth and
Nineteenth streets , by George Stuart , csq.
of Chicago , acting for the Illinois Central
railroad.
The consideration paid for the property
is $50,000. It was purchased from Henry K.
Cady of this city , who has held the prop
erty for some time. Ho secured It through
the I'cnn Mutual Life Insurance
company of Philadelphia , -which corpora
tion foreclosed on a mortgage on the prop
erty given by John A. Wakefield.
A railroad man whose Intimate knowledge
Of the negotiations of the Illinois Central
for entrance into Omaha gives him
authority to apeak advisedly In thS (
matter § avs that George Stuart ,
esq. , ' ' of Chicago , to whom the deed
has been made out , IB acting for the Illinois
Central railroad. The property will be as
sumed by the Illinois Central when the rail
road now building from Fort Dodge , la , ,
in this direction reaches here.
Whether the property will be used for a
freight depot or merely for trackage pur
poses Is not known. The Idea that the Illi
nois Central will erect a freight depot on
the ground acquired is held by a number
of real estate and railroad men familiar
with the deal.
As a contract to uie the now union pas-
eenger station has already been made by
the Union Pacific it Is known that the prop
erty is not intended for use as passenger
terminals. The location Is good for a freight
depot , and Is accessible from the principal
business section of the city. It Is located
on the city side of the Union Pacific tracks
BO that teams would not have to cross any
railroad tracks to reach the Illinois Central
freight depot. It is also located very close
to the corral of the United States army ,
through which a great amount of freight
Is handled every yoar. While It is a little
further from the wholesale district that the
present freight depots the location is re
garded as more nearly central for the entire
business community of the city.

About the Hun Which Dc-
January 1.
Up to this time little Information has
been received at the headquarters of the
railway mall service relative to the fast
mall that -becomes operative on January
1 next. It is known that the fast mall
trains will begin running on that day , but
that is all , and that out of Omaha going
west the mall will be carried by the Union
Pacific. From outside sources It is learned
that the new fast mall will leave Chicago
at about 10 o'clock p. m. and reach Omaha
ot about 8 o'clock on the following morn
ing.
ing.The
The western mall going out of Omaha Is
something enormous. That now handled by
the Union Pacific aggregates about thirty-
three tons dally , carried the entire length
f the line , while that which Is handled
between Omaha anil Cheyenne and Den
ver and Intermediate points brings the
aggregate up to nearly as mut-h more. To
handle this mall the Union Pacific operates
twenty-five mall cars , for the use of which
the company receives $640 per year per
car , the railroad company furnishing the
car with everything except the pouches
nd the locks.
Tha Burlington road handles a large
amount of mall between Omaha and Denver
and during the last year this has averaged
15,777 pounds dally.

up the defense that death was not duo to

Investigation by the police , but thus fnr
they have failed to get any trace of him.

started a shop known as the Nebraska Oak
ery at 1422 South Sixteenth street , having a
man named Doyle as his partner. A few
months later bo purchased his partner's
share and operated the bakery thereafter
himself. Not being a practical baker he
hired Philip Meiislnger to look after tbo
baking for him. Mcnslngcr and his wife
lived In the bakery and Obcrg took his meals
and roomed with them. On December 2 he
sold his 'interest to Menslnger , saying that
he contemplated leaving the city. He had
talked of going to Cuba , back to Dallas ,
Tex. , from whence 'he ' came , or to Holdrcge ,
Neb. The day the sale was made ho told
Menslngcr that he had a ticket to some
point , but would not state where ho was go-

his mind to start a restaurant down In the
city. Mr. Mcnstnger says he paid Obcrg
for the bakery and ho promised to return
the next day to see them. He left In the
afternoon and nothing has been heard from

We want to put just a word in edgeways this
morning about some now suits and overcoats just
arrived. They're worth a whole page. We want to
sandwich 'em in between your thoughts of Christ
mas things for these may set you thinking of a
Christmas gift worth while. Goods heavy , hand-
Borne , sterling ulsters , in black frieze not genuine
frieze , but the next best thing to it at three seventy-
five. That's worth thinking about. We've sold
some pretty good ulsters this season for the same
price , but these are fully two pounds heavier and
jlist a little better looking and you'll say when you
see them they're just the best things you ever came
across inside of the Nebraska walls. And here's another -
other good thing. A bran new lot of men's double
breasted , black or blue cheviot suits genuine
cheviot at $6.60 a suit. Maybe you've seen as good
suits as these sold at $9.67 in alleged mark down
sales , and maybe you haven't and if there's any
mark down sale in Omaha this season , that sells any
better suits for $7.50 or eight dollars or eight fifty ,
you can come back here and get a rebate on yoursT Wo
mention these two items simply because they are
fairly representative of the great values in this re
cent shipment of suits and overcoats a shipment
made necessary by the unprecedented heavy trade
of this season and having the benefits of unexpected
money for the makers thrown in.
