LiClunUoti U Out of
the Way.
Judge Dlcklnson'n denial of the Injunction
In the suit brought by Swift against the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal company was
the source of much satisfaction to John 11.
Wobstcr , general manager of the company.
This Is particularly so because the case , a
law days ago , wns In process of settlement ,
when the plaintiff at the last moment made
nddltlonuJ demands which the company
would not grant , and It was then determined
to fight It out In the courts. Mr. Webster
thinks the result In this case will have n
beneficial result In deterring others from
bringing similar suits to handicap the op
erations of the company. Two moro sulta
ngalnst the company are pending , ono of
them being similar to that disposed of by
JiiilBo Dickinson , and It will bo heard In the
bamo court. The Omaha National bank case
Is In Judge Kawcett'u court , and it Is not
yet known when It will bo called up for
final hearing.
The final batch of appraisements will bo
filed with the county Judge March 28. Thcso
cover property owned by non-residents , and
it has required advertlaoment for sixty days
( before the appraisement could bo made.
When these are disposed of the company
will ho ready to begin active operations at
building , provided obstructive litigation has
In the meantime been adjudicated by the
courts. 11 la i' ' , > on these conditions that
Mr. WebsUr-r . . . ) used his hope for being
able to stiu.-t i by April 1 , and whl h
lias Induced lin i t accumulate material on
the ground that iv more time may too lost
when a start Is once more made.
" 1 haven't had time to think about any
possible new roads for Omaha , " said Mr.
Webster , "owing to the annoyance of this
lltjgatlon. It Is true the suits are small
opes , but they are Irritating , Just as mos
quitoes affect you. It seems that whenever
quo attempts to do anything which will
( bo of benefit to the public there Is always
nil the objections
some ono ready to Interpose
tions possible. Some of these men want
you to go ahead with your work and wish
you success , and wjll then go Into court and
try to tttop you. The two suits yet remain
ing unsettled are not specially Important in
themselves , but they are far-reaching
enough to stay all of our work , and wo
must sit idly by and wait until the courts
got ready to net in the matter. "
AllU SATISFIED AVITII NEBRASKA.
Itullrond BIcn Sny tlmt Few People
Are EnilKrntlnBT fro n tlie State ,
Ono of the roost notable evidences of
changing conditions in Nebraska for the
belter is the greatly decreased number of
homcsoekors leaving the state for other
parts df the country. This is moro true as
applied to Immigration to southern points ,
nnd tbo roads which have conducted homo-
Bcekers' excursions to the south have reason
to appreciate the force of the proposition.
This is taken by the railroad
taen to mean that residents 'of
Nebraska are more satisfied with
their condition at this ttmo than
they have been for some years past. In
former years It was no uncommon thing for
rnllrpads to carry 100 nnd more horaeseek-
crs on their southern excursions , while this
year it Is rare that twenty take advantage
of the low rates made on these excursions.
The railroads mlsa the trafllc In this line
they formerly enjoyed , but officials take a
philosophical view of the situation and say
that If the people remain hero they are
evidently producing something , which adds
that much to the consumption , thereby In
creasing freight traffic. Further they hold
that legitimate passenger traffic Is better to a
community which Is sntislled with Itself
than to one where n large number are
grumbling and seeking to get away.
On the contrary railroad men rather expect
that the homeseekers' excursion which la
duo hero tomorrow morning from the east
"will bring more passengers than any other
Elmllar excursion BO far this year. These
will come from Wisconsin , Illinois and Indi
ana , nnd will generally be destined to the
extreme western portions of _ thts stato. It
is probable there will bo some passengers
going to the northwest , but tbo number will
bo small compared to those seeking settle
ment In Nebraska.

Officials of railroads with northwestern
connections again declare that reports o !
loss of stock ortlng to the severe weather
this month 1mo been greatly exaggerated.
They say thin has not been an unusually
severe wlnlcr for cnltle or sheep on Iho
northwestern ranges , nnd thai the percent
age of loss will compare favorably with
oth"r years. A Wyoming stockman at Union
I'aelfle headquarters confirmed this slate-
incut , especially o far ns It affected sheep.
Thcso animals , ho aald , stood Iho wcalhcr
remarkably well , and the losses were light.
Nothing but a severe month during March
will tend to aggravate the losses of llvo
stock In thai section of the country. If Iho
bad weather has all boon encountered no ono
need expend any sympathy upon the ranch
man , for ho will bo amply able to care
for himself when shipping llmo ( tomes.

Coolcy was nt his desk ns usual last Satur

sued tlio saino course that thav follow
whenever they check up nny slatlon , ho no
suspicion wns entertained unions : the em
ployes. That night , however , It wns re
ported that there would bo a shortage , al
though It was Impossible then and Is now tc
tell lust how much It will bo.
H Is not known definitely when Cooley lefl
the city , but It was either Saturday night 01
Sunday. Ho wns traced to Hod Oak , la. , bj
olllcers placed upon his track by the National
Surety coracany of Now York City , which
furnished his bond to iho railroad company ,
The sheriff nt lied Oak found Cooley nnO
started to arrest him , when a revolver was
flushed In his fnco nnd a vluorous atlompl
wns made to prevent the arrest
The ofllcor overpowered his man ,
however and landed him in Jail ,
The prisoner appeared desperate fron
worry and evidently concluded to end bli
life. The sheriff Is authority for the stale ,
inont that Coolcy severed an artery In hh
wriat in order that he might bleed to death
His plan was discovered , however , in tlui (
lo save him.
Cooley has been a resldenl of Omaha foi
several years. He Is about 35 years of age
nnd lived with his wife at 2711 Nortl
Twenty-second slrcot. He was n trustee
employe of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minne
apolis & Omaha road several years before h (
was made oashler , six years ago. He was
looked upon as steady and reliable bccausi
bo had no > bad habits , so his sudden dis
appearance was a surprise. The traveling
auditors are at work checking up the office
and the exact shortage will not bo knowr
until they have concluded their task. It 1 ;
estlmaled now that it will bo somethlnj

Inspoclor F. B. Lord , who represents thi

yesterday evening to see Cooley and lean
U there Is any possibility of a settlement
The sheriff was notified to place a man will
Cooley and watch him all the time , as hi
Informed a friend lhat ho would kill hlmsel
'before ' he would ever go lo trial. He has
however , agreed to return to Omaha with'
out the formality of wailing for requlsltloi
papers.
Officers Drummy nnd Mitchell of the loca
force weio put upon Iho case Sunday after
noon and proceeded to learn who Cooley'i
associates were. They found that he hac
spenl a great deal of his time in the com >
pany of a courtesan , and it is supposed tha
considerable of the money went to her also
Monday night they learned lhat he had goni

"To cat or not to cat , " Is n parody on
ono of llnmlot'n well known remarks tlmt
tlio prisoners held In tlio Vendomo hotel
by the smallpox quarantine nro conslderlnp
In soliloquy nt present. For another tick
lish situation has arisen at the hostelry
The Health department has settled It , the
ofllcors say , but not nt all to the satisfaction
of the prisoners.
When the hotel was put under quaran
tine the meals for the guests and Inmates
wcro cooked by nonian who has since
been taken down with the disease , and has
been removed to the smallpox hospital. Tin
health officials cast about for a substitute
and finally selected an Immune , a woman
who had Just been discharged from the pesl
house as having recovered from the dis
ease. The fact that the woman recently
had the disease has become known to the
people In the hotel who have not boot
aflllctcd , and thcso have registered a vcrj
vigorous protest. They Insist that they art
bclnjj exposed to the danger of contagion.
"Nothing of the kind , " says City 1'hysl *
clnn Spaldlng , "tho woman has fully recov-
orpd nd hne been thoroughly fumigated nn < l
disinfected. She can no more communicate
the disease than If she wcro an Imtnunn oi
five years' standing. I have explained this
to the hotel Inmates and do not propose to
change cooks. "
If , however , the prisoners persist In their
objections they may bo placed In a position
whereby they will cither have to accept the
woniah as cook or otarvo or cat their provi
sions raw , For another of the officials has
expressed hlmaolf as follows :
' "fills objection U of the most chlldlsli and
unreasonable character. If It continues , 1
am in favor of taking away the cook and
allowing the people In the hotel to get along
as well as they can , for It will bo almos !
an Impossibility for the city to get anothci
cook willing to take the job unless ex-
cesslvo w.ges are paid. It Is unfortunate
that the people must be locked up , but the
city has been doing what It can for them
