The contest between the -western roads
during the lost ten < 1ays has excited the
railroad man of England , who Insist that
their records are not being excended nnd
that the roads of their country can equal
or excel any time the Burlington or North
western lines may make. Traffic Superin
tendent Turnbull of the London & North
western Is quoted 1n a cable as saying !
"I liavo carefully read all the published
reports of the great race and I fall utterly
to BOO that the English roads , or our own
nt all events , hnvo any cause to feel
ashamed. It appears from today's rejiurt
that the average speed for GOO miles -was
fifty-four and onu-half miles an hour. Here
la the record of our run from London to
Aberdeen August 22 , 1895 : The Journey
was divided Into two halves London to
Carlisle and Carlisle to Aberdeen. We cov
ered the first half 29DVi miles In. four
( hours and thlrty-flvo and one-half minutes ,
maintaining nn average speed between Eu -
ton and Crewo of CI.3 miles nn hour and
hcUeen Crowo and Carlisle of 67.2 miles
an hour. Wo covered the second half Car
lisle to Aberdeen , 241 miles In three hours
nnd fifty-four minutes. The average speed
( from Carlisle to Perth was 60.6 miles an
hour , the average from Perth to Aberdeen
65.4 miles an hour. The whole Journey from
Huston to Aberdeen 540 % miles was mode
In eight hours and thirty-two minutes , In
cluding all stops.
Think It an Error.
"No exact record was taken of particu
larly high speeds , but -while upon this sub
ject , I and all my exports believe the re
ported top speed of 120 miles an hour on
itho Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy and Chicago
cage & Northwestern must bo a cable er
ror. At the same time wo used on ordinary
Journeys to exceed eighty miles an hour on
ono portion of our route , but stopped owing
to objections from our passengers. I may
add , finally , that the grades on the Euston-
Abordccn route In someplace * are tremendous
deus and I should think It hardly possible
ithnt they could bo exceeded on the Chicago-
Omaha route. "
The London & Northwestern road Is one
of the lines which participated three years
ago In the races from London Into Scotland.
The report that the express companies are
to blame for the lightning speed now being
trade across the country does not meet with
favor among the railroad men , although the
scajorlty of thorn are willing to admit there
might bo something in It. The agents of
three express companies were Been and
naked If they had heard of any special ef
fort being made on the part of the com
panies which they represent to secure the
western business by making the best time.
In tno Instances the agents stated that
they had heard nothing of It from their
people. They do not ibelleve that a few
minutes In the arrival of a train will have
a great deal of effect upon the westbound
express. They also pointed to the fact that
the Burlington road , on which the Adams
express company operates , has no express
car on Its fast train.
Vnlnn It for Bunlnen * .
Mr. Gates of the American express thought
perhaps there might bo something to the
rumor , although ho had not heard of It.
Ills company Is emphasizing the time made
batweon Now York and Omaha by sending
letters to their patrons In the city. These
letters call attention to "tho present un
equalled service from Now York , Boston ,
Chicago and all points east to Omaha. " They
etato that express leaves New York at 8:30 :
o'clock In the evening and arrives In Chicago
In the evening of the next day. It leaves
Chicago at 10 o'clock and reaches Omahi at
8:15 : the next morning , or the morning of
the second day after leaving New York.
The trip Is made from New York by way
of the New York Central and the Michigan
Central to Chicago , then by the Northwest
ern to Omaha. The company guarantees a
delivery of all express at from five to
twenty-four hours ahead of any other com
pany.
Mr. White of the United States express
company said that ho does not place cred
ence In the report , because , as It Is now , It
Is simply < a question of morning nnd after
noon delivery. The majority of the express
from the east , with the exception of that
brought In by the American In the morning ,
arrives In the afternoon and Is delivered
Immediately.
DARNINGS OP THIS IOWA CENTRAL.
XMrit Week of January Show *
Inurennen Over Lint Your.
MARSHALL-TOWN , la. , Jan. 13. ( Spe
cial. ) Th statement of approximate earn
ings ot the Iowa Central railway for the
first week of January Just Issued by General
Auditor T. J. Wesson shows the total earn
ings for the week to have been $34,028.94 ,
an increase of $5CSS.48 over the correspond
ing period of last year. The freight earn
ings for the week wcro $26,904.65 , an In
crease of $4,977.30 ,
The passenger earnings were $5,879.77 , an
increase of $428.18. The passenger earnings
for the w ek were the largest of any corro-
ApondlnK week In the history of the com
pany , with the single exception of the first
week In January , 1893 , when the earnings
were $6,809.98. In fact , the total earnings
were the largest , except for the first weeks
Of 1892 and 1898 , which exceeded the earn-
tags of the last week but very little. The
freight earnings for the last week would
have been nearly double what they were had
it not been for the grain blockade , as the
Central had plenty of cars to move the
grain , which could not be carried through
J eorla owing to the scarcity of cara on the
eastern llnee. At one tlmo during the week

HKBD WINS THE WAOKH.
III * Ahltltr to Btnml Any
Amount of Low Tcmpcrnture.
Engineer Reed ot the Clinton and Ooonc
division ot the Northwestern road has shown
ilmself capable of making and winning a
very strong wager la the defense of Hie
lollef that his line must excel In everything.
teccntly , while he had some extra tlmo on
its hand and was doing his best to keep
warm , as It was a very cold morning , a fei-
ow engineer offered to make a snug wager
.hat ho could stand more cold than any other
man within the sound ot his voice. Mr.
tccd promptly accepted the wager and It
was agreed thnt each tliould put a leg out
of the cab window and the one who suc
cumbed to the cold should bo declared the
oscr.
The frost was nipping and after doing his
iest the profferer of the bet drew In his
'oot nnd slapped It against the boiler to
extract the frost. He said ho never saw
anything equal to Engineer Reed , as the
alter pocketed the cash , but tils wonder
changed to chagrin when the latter rolled
up his trousers and exhibited a wooden leg
and foot.

Conference of Rallvrny Mrmnatei.
MONTREAL , Jan. 13. A conference be-
ween the Canadian Pacific railway and the
western roads of the United States has been
arranged for January 17. It will bo held at
Chicago and will be a continuation of that
which took place at Montreal after the set-
lenient of the rate war. It la expected , that

differences that have existed between the
nterests named since the outbreak of the
ate trouble. Theee differences relate prin
cipally to the Immigrant trafile.
DECIDE ON THIRTY ACRES
Booth Slders Declare Tiicttmelvea in
Favor of IncrcnnlnK the Slme
of nivervleir Pnrk.
Upwards o't 100 southsldo taxpayers con-
regated at Mueller's hall on Vlnton street
ast night to decide what action should be
recommended relative to the proposed addl-
lon to Rivervlew park. After a series of
pooches that occupied fully three hours the
lonuonsus of opinion was almost unanimous
n favor of the condemnation ot the thirty
acres embraced in the ordinance now before
he council. A small minority declared In
aver ot taking In the whole sixty acres
embraced In the Murray tract , but these fell
n with the majority when it became ap
parent that the sentiment was not in favor
if taking more than thirty acres.
President John Powers of the South Side
mprovomcnt club presided and E. J. Cornish
ipoke at some length , detailing the progress
of the project to date and emphasizing the
advantage of confining the appropriation to
hlrty acres. I. S. Hascall took the same
lew and suggested that trying to acquire
he entire tract was llko setting a bushel
of egga under one hen. Joe Kavan was an
ther advocate of the thirty-acre scheme
and David Cole , S. I. Gordon and John
loslcky favored going after the entire tract.
Then John Butler made a speech and half
a dozen others made additional speeches ,
.he tenor of which was largely towards
Imtting the appropriation to the thirty-acre
addition.
Ono ot the most vigorous arguments that
was urged in favor ot this course was to
he effect that It the entire property is taken
.he owners may succeed In pushing the
price to an unreasonable figure , but If only
. part of the tract IB condemned they cannot
fforil to force an Inflated appraisement , be
cause a considerable proportion of it can
hen be assessed for benefits on the portion
hat they still own. Finally , a motion that
he city authorities be requested to condemn
the thirty-acre tract was carried by a prac-
Ically unanimous vote.

DORSEY IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Testimony Given Relatire to the Affairs of
the Fonoa Bank ,
CONTRADICTS THE EVIDENCE OF HIQGINS
Declare * thnt Ho Never I ncil In-
Htructloni to Mnkc False Rntrle *
In the nook * nnil Knew
Nothing of Them.
The principal feature of the Dorscy case
was the testimony of the defendant In his
own behalf. In several respects It assisted
materially to clear up matters rained by the
prosecution and In others Dorsey flatly con
tradicted the testimony of E. D. Hlgglns ,
who had sworn that ho received Instructions
from him to make false entries on the books.
Ho also gave a very plausible explanation ot
tho' charge that ho had made a misleading
report to the comptroller of the currency In
one Instance nnd explained the absence of
ono note which ho Is accused In the Indict
ment ot having abstracted from the bank.
The defendant was asked In regard to Uie
entries In the books which represented notes
as paid when they had been Issued for re
discount. He stated positively that he
never knew that the notes were entered as
paid until he was told so by Bank Examiner
Griffith after the bank failed. He never
gave any Instructions to Logan , Hlgglns or
any one else to make these entries.
In regard to the Warren Bellar note for
$2,000 , which he was accused of abstractIng -
Ing from the bank , the witness stated that
this no to was given to take up a note for a
similar amount held by James E. Strong
against the bank. Mr. Hlgglns told htm that
the Strong note was duo and he told him to
take it up with the Bellar note. He knew
that the Strong note came into the bank ,
but upon examination he had been unable
to find that It bad been entered on the
books.
In regard to the comptroller's report , In
which the prosecution had endeavored to
show that lie reported bills receivable
amounting to $137,000 , when as a matter of
fact there were only $126,000. Dorsey said
that the difference woa accounted for by
loans on real estate , which amounted to
$11,000. He succeeded In tracing these
transactions on the books , thus accounting
for the exact amount which had been speci
fied In the report.
The examination of 0. W. E. Dor-
sey was continued yesterday morning
and he was questioned in detail In
regard to the effect of the financial panic on
his property. Ho Bald that In March , 1893 ,
ho pledged property worth $ $0,000 to secure
a loan ot $20,000 from Sioux City banks and
the amount secured was turned over to bol
ster . .up the Ponca bank. When the notes
became due ho pledged $15,000 more to se
cure $6,000 , from which $4,000 was paid on
the Sioux City account. It consequently cost
htm $75,000 to realize $18,000 In the state of
the money market that existed at that tlmo.
He also sacrificed a large amount of securi
ties to obtain a loan of $10,000 In New York
and In another case he sold stocks that were
worth $40,000 under different conditions for
119,000. Ho also pledged stocks to make
good the losses of Dorsey Bros , at South
Dmahn.
On cross-examination the government at-
cmpted to question the witness closely In
regard to what became of ithe money that he
realized by these sacrifices , but most of the
questions wei ruled out by the courtjs Im
material. Judge Garland ruled that Inas
much as the witness had testified that he
urncd the money over to Frank M. Dorsey
10 could not be asked to tell what became of
t after It lett his bands.
Getting Ready for Lincoln Term.
Most of the employes In the offices of
31erk Htllla and Marshal Thummel will

ticipate In the opening of the Lincoln term
of United States court Monday. The migra
tion will bo partial on account of the Dor
sey case before Judge Corland and after
hat Is concluded the representation ot the
United States court In the federal building
will be confined to one deputy marshal and
ono clerk In the clerk's office.
Sale of Railroad Confirmed.
Judge Sanborn of the Wyoming district
has confirmed the report of the special
master In chancery on the sale of the
Jmaha & Republican Valley railroad to the
Union Pacific for $750,000. The sale oc
curred last August

SPOOKS WILL STALK NO MORE
Police Take Charge of Dr. Milton' *
Svlrlt-MateriallxliiK llimlnemi nt
Seventeenth and Hodge.
The shades of Milton have taken up their
temporary residence In the city Jail. Friday
night the police arrested "Dr. " Frederick
Milton , S. H. Davis and two women who
> osed nightly as shades of departed relatives
to , that portion of the populace prone to
part easily from their wealth.
"Dr. " Frederick Milton , who claims Now
Orleans an his residence , three weeks ago
rented apartments on the southeast corner
of Seventeenth and Dodge streets , where
with Davis and the two women , he gave
seances and other alleged spirit manifesta
tions at 10 much per capita. His methods
were much the same as otlierswho practice
on the gullible. The women -were mainly
chief spooks. They would appear before
the expectant victim , robed In white , while
acknowledging In accents thin that they
were the spirit of the departed and were
or were not satisfied with their present
abiding place.
That the "doctor" was a man of resources
was demonstrated by the wagon load of para
phernalia taken to the station by the of
ficers. . This consisted of robes of all kinds
and colors , wigs , -beards - , bones , a mega
phone and dolls , the latter representing
spirits of household treasures. The stuff
would probably Invoice $200.
The -women stated that they received $1
jer night for their part of the performance.
One of them , who refused to give her name ,
said the arrests , were duo to a misunder
standing the "doctor" had had with his
nephew and a "customer" named Mr.
James.
The parties wore arrested upon a com
plaint charging them with engaging in a
swindling scheme.
PEST HOUSE IS SELECTED

The barber shop of Joseph Swoboda , 1251
South Thirteenth street , was reported as
closed because ot Llnton'a sickness , but Is
open and ready for business. The sick man
resided on the third floor of the building ,
and therefore was not a source ot danger to
the patrons'of th6 barber shop. There was
no necessity for closing the shop and con
sequently no orders to that effect were
given.

I don't ever have an opportunity to obtain

ascertain it your husband would appreciate
having a case of Krug Cabinet beer nt homo

woman. She needs it. The pure kind

There ore days when the medlolna buyer
can appreciate the DIFFERENCE be
tween a R13AL. DRUG STORB and a mere
sign for a drug store. There Is a vast dif
ference between being able to go to a drug
store and get your prescription compounded
at once and going to a store and having
to leave your prescription until the city
has been ransacked to find the Ingredients
prescribed.
CAN'T FIND IT IN CITY.
This Is an expression you will often hear
In the drug stores of some of our amiable
contemporaries. We know this was said
to a patient a few days ago when WE
had not been called upon for the article.
The MORAL IB PLAIN. If you want your
prescription compounded accurately and
promptly bring It to us.
