STARTS IN ON TRACK LAYING
Omaha Bridge and Terminal Company Begini
Operation ! .
MEN WORKING ON FOURTEENTH STREET
Company Acnnlrlnw Land In the Im
mediate Vicinity , \Vhlrh Will

Depot I'nrposrs.
Wednesday morning the Omaha Bridge &
Terminal company commenced work upon the
railroad tracks along the right of way
granted It at the council meeting Tuesday
night. Men were put upon the work on
North Fourteenth street and the construc
tion of the track to Eighth street and Capitol
tel avenue will bo pushed as rapidly as the
climatic and other conditions will permit.
The etrip of track that Is being laid ex
tends north and south of Nicholas street on
Fourteenth. The northern terminus Is at
the alley north of Nicholas street and the
southern end will run Into a track on Four
teenth operated by the Chicago , St. Paul ,
( Minneapolis & Omaha road. Fifteen men
arc engaged on this work , the gang being
composed of some of the regular section
men employed by the Terminal company
and the remainder being hired on the spot.
"This la poor weather for railroad
building , " said Superintendent Nichols ,
"but we propose to do as much
track building as possible *
long as the ground Is frozen. If the
weather was good and there were no other
obstacles we could have the double track
laid to Eighth street and Capitol avenue in
ninety days , but under the circumstance * It
Will probably take much longer.
Anticipate * Some Trouble.
General Manager Webster anticipates that
bo will find difficulty In running his tracks
across private property after the tracks
leave Fourteenth street. He Is endeavoring
to buy oil the land ho needs , and in every
case where the ground cannot be purchased
bo will resort to condemnation proceedings.
Those proceedings will be the main cause
of any delay in the track construction.
The route of the track of the company has
been somewhat changed. It was to run
couth of Fourteenth street to Hurt nud then
switch to the southeast , and this Is the
( route of the right of way. Since
ordinance Introduced
the right-of-way was
troduced , however , General Manager
Webster has secured the option on a strip
of land running on the south side of thp
Union Pacific shops , which la owned by the
Union Pacific. This will enable the com
pany to run Its tracks off Fourteenth street
at Cumlng street , allowing Fourteenth , be
tween Cumlng and Hurt , to > be es unob-
ptructcd as It is now.
General Manager Webster IB already en
gaged , also , in negotiations for the purchase
of one or'more sites for a freight depot. Two
of these are rocated In the block bounded by
Davenport and Chicago , Eleventh and
Twelfth streets , and the other is situated
In the block directly to the northeast. One ,
two or all three of these sltea may be used.
Work on the depot , or depots , will not be
commenced until the track Is laid.
The question of a passenger depot la one
for the future , but such a depot la to be
built , ao saya Mr. Webster.

The Incoming fast mall on the North
western bumped into a tourist car on Union
Pacific No. 1 at the Council Bluffs transfer ,
but without serious results. The mall train
was ten minutes ahead of time and hit the
tourist car at the north side of the transfer.
A car repairer , Shears , who was at work In
the car , was slightly injured by being dashed
against the end of the car , but none of the
passengers were disturbed. The damage wu
confined to a few broken bars on the pilot
ot the engine and some broken crockery in
the dining car.

A change has been made In the local

Huntoon came to Omaha as cashier ot the
local office under E. M. Morsraan , after
ward president ot the company. Twenty-five

OMAHA , Jan. 11. To the Editor of The
Bee : There are times when silence Is
goldon. And since County Attorney Shields
has seen fit to reflect on me in hla Inter
view in your Tuesday morning's leeue , I
think it proper to give the faot * . In doing
so I shall have to Indulge in a llttlo bit
of political history.
In 18S5 , without my knowledge or consent
and agaioet my protest , I was nominated at
the democratic county convention for the
office of county judge. There was not the
allghtest chance to elect an/body that year
against Judge McCullough. I was per-
tagalnst Judge McCulloch. I was pcr-
help elect the democratic candidate for
sheriff. I was entitled to renomtnatlon In
1887 and could have had It without any
opposition. I declined to stand for it and
personally solicited Mr. ShWd , who was
then in Mr. Cowln's office , to become a
candidate. After consulting with his friends
he decided to go Into the contest for the
nomination. I used every endeavor to com
pass his nomination. By dint ot hard work
on the part of his friends he was nom
inated by two votes ever C. J. Smyth , his
main competitor. He waa elected. After
the election , recognizing .what I had dona
for him , ho asked me what he could do for
me. I said nothing for me , but If he
wished to he could give the position of
copyist In the office to a friend ot mine ,
which he did. Our relations since that
tlmo have always been friendly. Under
such circumstances I felt that I bad a right
to recognition in the event ot hia election
oa county attorney. In about a week after
the convention which nominated him I met
him at the entrance to the New York Life
building.
I said to him : "George , I would like to
epcak to you , " and , taking him aside , I
said : "If you should be elected I would
like to have one of the deputyshlpa. " He
said : "I have mode no promises yet , but
there is coo man I would like to appoint
If I am elected. " He also said : "I would
like also to appoint Lee Helslejr , what do
you think of him ? " I told him I thought
that would be all right , ae Leo kad been ,
voting with us for four or five years and
he was a pretty fair criminal lawyer.
"Now , " he said , "If I am entitled to a
tnlrd , you can have It. " I said , "All right ,
George. I will go to work. " Mr. Shields
now denies this and claims h told me I
would have to tnko my chances. This Is
not true and since he went bock on Thomas
Lee , whom he admits he bad promised , I
will leave the public to decide the question
of veracity between us. Ot course , I made
a thorough personal canvass on hla behalf.
About three or four days after election I
dropped into Mr. Shields' office , thinking ,
perhaps , he might want to consult with mo
with reference to the other appointments.
After I got eeated Mr. Shields spoke up and
aid , "Shoemaker , 'there ' seems to be some
pposition to you. " I said , "Well , George ,
who is itT" "Oh , " he said , with a sickly
smile , "I cannot tell you , of course. " I felt
hen in a moment that he was preparing (0 (
go beck on me and I said , "Well , George ,
you know the talk we hadt" "Y s , " he
eplled ; "I told you , as I told all the rest ,
hey would have to take their chances. " I
" can't told meI
said. "George , ybu say you
would have to take my chance * . " He re-
terated that ho did and eald I had better
; ot some endorsements. I told him I would
; et the endorsements of business men. He
said that would be all right , as there was no
lurry about the matter.
I furnished nlm the endorsement * and
jent them to him by a messenger boy. I
never spoke to him from that time to this
ibout my appointment. He now admits in
he interview that ho made on ante-election :
> romlse to Thomas Lee , so it appears that
10 did not tell him , or his friends , that
le would have to take hla chances. Ho eays
he got out of that promise by on honorable
arrangement. It would seem so , as 'I ' un
derstand they do not speak as they paee by.
I am afraid Mr. Shields' Idea of political
icnor is a little clouded.
The opposition to me came from some
tinhorns. " who wer afraid I might be
friendly to , or treat fairly , some persons
whom the "tinhorns" did not like.
Mr. Shields eays In the Interview that he
anticipated something like the action taken
by Vicksburg command , No. 1 , Union Vet
eran union. The guilty conscience needs no
, accuser.

Lee Replied to Shields.
OMAHA. Jan. 11. To the Editor of Th
Bee : Regarding the appointment ot hi * as
sistants , Mr. Shields Mid In the columns
of your yesterday's edition : "I made only
one promise , and got out of that by an
honorable arrangement. This was my prom
ise to Mr. Leo. "
Upon the request of several parties I will
briefly explain how Mr. Shields got out of
his promise to me. Before the election Mr.
Shields , having made Inquiries about my
abilities on account of my age , and then sayIng -
Ing that he was perfectly untlaned that I
was able to hold the position , made four un
conditional promises or agreements with my
friends that he would appoint mo one of
his assistants , it elected , upon their pledges
that ithoy would support him In the cam
paign. Upcn these pledges from Mr. Shields
ray friends went in and assisted in his elec
tion.
tion.When able to read hu ! title clear to the
office Mr. Shields changed his tune. I
would not ally myself In any way with any
of the gamblers and consequently they
fought me , fearing , evidently , that unbiased
and unpledged service to the county in this
office might interfere with the policy that
has evidently been adopted for the new ad
ministration. So Mr. Shields offered me the
appointment , but not unconditionally , as he
agreed before hla election , On the con-
< > -aTy , he Imposed the ridiculous and absurd
condition that before I entered upon the
duties of the appointment I put Into his
hands a blank resignation , which ho might
fill out whenever ho chose , and thus dis
charge me. The object of this was obvious ,
and as I did not propose to be put into the
power ot the gamblers of the city ot Omaha
In this way , I refused to comply with the
condition , and ho refused to appoint me.
Under these circumstances it is reassuring
to know that Mr. Shields feels as to his re
peated unconditional promteo to appoint
me that "ho got out of It by an honorable
arrangement. " THOMAS F. LEE.

out en the road to como In on the train
will be tried. There Is some question
whether the work that one man will bo able
to do on the train between Burlington and

Only ThoMc Who Arc Pcrnonnlly In
terested Attend the Domey Trial
In United States Court.
The evidence against Frank M. Dorsey
continues to drag on In the United States
court. It had boon expected that the defense -
fenso would got an Inning this morning , but
Receiver Watklns Is still telling what he
knows about the notes held by the collapsed
Ponca bank and the end is not In sight.
There has been enough testimony evoked In
regard to that bundle of notes to fill halt
a dozen volumes of the Concessional Rec
ord and as it consists of an almost constant
series of repetitions the attendance at the
trial Is limited to those who are directly
Interested.
A largo part of yesterday was occupied by
the cross-examination of W. A. Barclay ,
the clerk for the receiver. In
cross-examination the defense made a
vigorous effort to show that the witness was
prejudiced against the defendant. The
statement was elicited that Bartloy had been
employed to prepare evidence tending to con
vict Dorsey. Referring to the previous state
ment of the witness that one statement
made by Dorsey to the comptroller of the
treasury Indicated a balance of $7,020 , when
the actual balance as shown by the books
of the bank was $6,800 , the witness admitted
that the discrepancy might have been caused
by a credit on one of the notes In the bank.
He also admitted that some ot the notes in
regard to which he testified were Issued In
renewal of other notes previously held by
the bank. Ho said that ho had not made ,
this explanation in his direct examination
because the question had not been asked.

BOTH MEN ARE RELEASED
Evidence ! Not Sufficient to Hold
Sclivrart and Sntton on the
Charge of Larceny.
When the trial of Isadoro Schwartz and
SI Sutton , charged with larceny , was re
sumed In police court , the latter gave his
testimony in support of the evidence of
Young Schwartz and his father , who had
sought to establish an alibi. The prosecu
tlon called a couple of officers , but their
testimony was shut out on account of It
being largely hearsay evidence. In his ar
gument Deputy County Attorney Thomas
laid great stress upon the testimony of the
boy who had seen the defendants carrying
away the property. The court , however ,
did not think this strong enough to convict
the defendants if they were bound over , BO
he discharged them. They were rcarrested
immediately on the charge of grand larceny
caused by the theft of 300 pounds of coffee
valued at $41 from T. J. Mullen.
Frank and John Dollbrldge were dis
charged on motion of the county attorney ,
as there waa no evidence to convict them
of the charge of maliciously destroying an
other's property.
Ed Wilson , 14-year-old colored boy , was
arraigned on the charge ot stealing twenty
chop sacks from the Nebraska Hay com
pany. He entered a plea of not guilty and
took a continuance.

You know the jurors at the exposition

beer , eo wo could not expect an award on
Krug beer , but they DID give us TUG
gold medal for purity and strength of Cab
inet beer and no one else got such an award
as we that's straight !

farce of great entertaining properties and
a cast that appeals to an amusement loving
public.
Wednesday matinees at the Crelghton-
Orphoum theater ore growing In favor , as
was seen yesterday. Despite the very disa
greeable weather prevailing , the theater was
comfortably filled. Miss Hilda Thomas , that
thoroughly conscientious artist , was a big
favorite , with "Clorlmly" a close second.
Next \voek's bill will Include Marlon Kear-
ner's vUslons of art. Emma Cams , three Mcr-
koll sisters. James Cullcn , Frank La Mon-
duo. Sbattuck and Bernard. Evans and
Mills and Lllllo Western. The exhibition

to the edlflcatlcn of over 3,000 people how
the walk was presented lu Omaha , Now
York , Chicago , on the Bowery , St. Louis ,

championship title. They certainly are a

fad as It should be.

ffiuoyancy.
The buoynncy of trade is a daily tonic. It isn't today
only but it's yesterday and today and day after
day. When it comes time to worry about what wo
shall do with our Winter Overcoats and Ulsters that
are loft over we shan't have any to worry over ifvo
can help it. All this is good cheering. Wo some
times imagine gentlemen don't bother about th
savings in Overcoat buying , and wonder if they ever
get past the stock and bond cohimn or read anything
except the big headlines. But it appears they do.
We have customers every day who como to us and
say , How about them Overcoat and Suit Bargains
you fellers always talking about in the papers , trot
'em out and show us if we can depend on what the
ad man says. Wo leave the rest to you the bun
dles carried out of this store are proof of the printing.
Seldom a customer leaves this store without buying ,
when he does it's to look around , but ho invariably
returns and eays , wrap 'em up. It's utterly impos
sible in the limits of newspaper advertising to prop
erly introduce our values in Clothing. We mention
Ulsters at $3.75 and up but you must see them to
realize their values then the Suits at § 5.50 , that sell
in most stores for 88.00 and $9.00 , you must see
them to appreciate their real worth.
