Illuh Mlncrnl Country.
Mr. P. P Shelby , who was In Omaha a day
or two ago , has been appointed vice presi
dent and general manager of the Pacific ft
Idnho Northern , effective June 5. The selec
tion Is ft good one , as Mr. Shelby Is well
versed In western railroad matters , having
boon at the head of the Union Pacific freight
department nnd general traffic manager of
the Great Northern. Ho has also had a wide
experience In the operating and construction
departments , BO ho Is particularly well fitted
to manage the now road , which Is steadily
assuming such Importance in the northu eit.
The headquarters of the now official will bo
at Wolser.
Mr. Shelby enters upon the discharge of his
duties Juno 6. The contracts have been lot
for grading and rallo for the first 102 miles.
The road will begin at Wetser , on the Oregon
gen Short Line , nnd will run to the famoun
Buffalo Hump country nnd the Seven Devils.
Mr. L. A. Hall , president of the company ,
Is a man of great wealth and Is able to
build the road through without delay.
More Important still Is his plan to estab
lish somewhere on the now line a $500,000
copper onfl smelting plant. Work on this
will bo commenced as soon as the best lo
cation Is determined upon nnd the line built
to that point. Associated with Mr. Hall
nro prominent Boston capltnllats who are
deeply Interested In the future of northwest
ern Idaho. With such men backing the
road , P. P. Shelby In solo charge of opera
tions , contracts lot and work commenced ,
the people of that section of Idaho ore to be
congratulated on the bright outlook for n
road that will develop a country rich In
natural resources.
Adopt * tlio Si'liiintlnn Ticket.
The Sebastian system of Interchangeable
mileage , -which has been In use among the
roads of the Western Passenger association
for the last two years , haa been adopted by
the Southwestern association on recommen
dation of the Chicago lines. iAll the western
nnd southwestern roads have long sought n
good system of Interchangeable mileage and
the test which has been given the Sebastian
ticket seems to have proved Its worth. Un
der It travelers buy the regular passenger
nccommodatlono nnd ogreo to contract that
they will not pormlt anyone else to take nd-
vnntago of the credit slips given at the time
the tickets -purchased. . When $50 worth
of these ellps have been accumulated by ono
person he cashes them , getting a rebate of
1 cent a mllo. It Is reported that the ticket
brokers will try to fight the legality of the
arrangement on the ground that It discrim
inates against the people who do not use
the system. It has reduced their business
materially nt a good many points , but It
has been used by the western roads for two
years and Its legality haa not been over
thrown.
1'rrncntn Claim * for
A farmer living along the line of the
Union Pacific sent to the claim department
of that road the other day two twigs about
as long o ono's finger. In a letter accom
panying them ho said that they showed how
dead the trees on some of his land were
on account of a flre which ho says an engine
started. The twigs were so small and had
been on the way so long that they would
prohably have been dry even If they had
been evergreens. Still the man expected the
road to take them as evidence of the damage
he bad sustained. This is only an Illustra
tion ol the various forms In which the
flimsiest damage claims are presented to the
railroads for settlement. Not long ago a
man claimed damages from the Union Pacific
for a house- burned , as he alleged , by flro
tt by a sfpark from nn engine. The house
WOB situated across a wide wheat field from
the track , but the owner of It asserted that
the spark nnd been carried 1,000 foot or so
nnd had fallen on the roof of his humble
cottage.

BOYCOTTING A RESTAURANT
One of tlic ItCNtiltN in n Llvrly Little
Sctto lletuecii Ttto
Men.
A member of ths Walters' union got Into
police court Thursday for endeavoring
to enforce the boycott placed on the res
taurant at FIG North Sixteenth street by the
Control Labor union because thu proprietor
refused to a ree to employ only organized
labor. Wednesday evening as F. C.
Smith was coming ouc of the restaurant
after having eaten his supper , he was ac
costed By Kd Wiilto and two or three other
members of the union who ban ? around the
restaurant for the purpose of keeping cus
tomers from pnti'.nliing the place. Whtto
handed Smith a card which requested a rec
ognition of the boycott against the restau
rant and urged all friends of organized labor
to Dfttronlie some ntlier nlaco. Smith to-j
up the card and made some remark In reply ,
which waa taken by White ae an Insult to
himself and the union. Ho struck Smith In
the left eye. Both parties were placed under
arrest on the charge of fighting. White en
tered a plea oX guilty when arraigned , but
eald ho was not to blame. Smith pleaded
not cullty und the trial was set for Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The waiters say they are not to blame
for the trouble , as they are conducting the
boycott on a peaceable basis. They say they
have no desire to get Into the courts and
bcek to avoid It. They state further that
this Is oot a union fight , but a personal ono
and that their organization should uot bo
mixed up In It.

The Pacific Advertiser of Honolulu , under
dnto of May C , publishes the- following :
Mr. Urnsted , the commissioner hereIn tlio
Interest of Omaha's Colonial Exposition ,
when at home IB manager for the Western
Union Tclegrnph company's octopus nrra of
the place. He performed such slgnnl serv
ice In connection with the great show of
last year that he was given the assignment
to Hanall. Mr. Urasled and some of his
now friends were standing a-t the corner efFort
Fort nnd King last evening when a soldier
stopped nnd projected a neat hand at the
commissioner , nt the snrao time saying.
"Glad to see you , Mr. Urasted. Don't > ou
remember me ? I was ono of your operators
In Omaha , My name Is Kyle. " Umstcd
MBS glad to sco Kyle and explained that
the soldier was known as ono of the swiftest
nnd best telegraph operators In the whole
of the west. Kyle , a bright young follow , Is
In the signal corps , nnd with eleven other
selected men , Is nbonrd the Ohio. Ho was
through the campaign In Cuba , worked on
the firing line , was sent to Porto Rico , and
then stationed nt Washington. At the na
tion's capital Kyle went Into a competition ,
was placed first nt receiving by the Morse
cede and stood well up In heliograph , wig
wag , semaphore , construction , ballooning
and a few other affairs of the communica
tion and Information branch. This resulted
In the detail to Manila. Kyle says ho
comes along because ho wants to see all
the now country of his Undo Samuel. The
slgnnl corps men of this lot are nil prize
winners and nro fully equipped. Kor ono
thing they have se\en sultg of clothes each.
Kyle Is very much Interested In wireless
telegraphy. Three weeks ago he was busy
nil day every day assisting In the experi
ments being conducted nt Fort Meyer , near
Washington. He Bald the work for short
distances was satisfactory , but ho was doubt
ful about the system ever working for many
miles. Mr. Umstcd said the same thing.

Announcement ! * .
This sultry weather Is causing people to
look for some cool place In which to spend
their evenings cnjoyabfy. There Is no
place where thuy could so thoroughly and
comfortably spend a profitable evening as
at the Trocadero. The garden adjoining
this theater Is an exceptionally cool placo.
Hero , with a fountain bubbling and throw -
Ing cooling water , surrounded by shrubbery
and potted plants nnd palms , one can pass
the time listening to the sweet strains of
Lorenz'e silver cornet band. This week arc
to be seen Fllson nnd Errol In a bright
comedy sketch , "A Tip on the Derby ; "
Lleb , Smith and Lleb In "The Hypnotist ; "
James 'McAvoy , the parodist ; Murphy nnd
Hall In "A Sojourn In Shnntytown , " Fox
and Summers In Irish characterizations , and
the Van brothers In a musical1 act.
Tonight and Saturday matinee the Bos-
tonlans will sing "The Serenade. " This
opera has found Instant favor with music
lovers nnd It goes without saying that the
many friends and partisans of this organiza
tion nro highly gratified over Us success.
In this opera there Is the same clear-out
story , the same predominating element of
comedy nnd an atmosphere romantic , pic
turesque and satisfying. Tne many tribula
tions with which the Jealous duke Is beset ,
the ludicrous attempts of the stage-struck
tailor to win a lady of quality with his bad
singing , the dashing adventures of the opera
barltoQo nnd the persistent pursuit of the
dnnseuso after her recreant lover are all
pleasantry remembered. Miss Helen Bert
ram sings the role of Yvonne.
Edward M. Favor and Edith Sinclair , the
comedy stars at the Orphoum this week , are
remarkable for their versatility. These two
admirable artists have won fresh laurels at
the Orphoum this week In "A High Roller , "
which gives them ample opportunity to dis
play their versatile attainments. Mr. Favor's
celebrated song , "Pom-Tlddley Urn-Pom , "
Is one of the pronounced hits of the Reason.
The entire bill Is rife with splendid features
which are sine to prove attractive to the
matinee-goers tomorrow. Miss Cooke and
Miss Clinton arc young women who un
doubtedly stand at the head of the sharp
shooters of the worM. They dress in an
unique nnd handsome costume which per
mits them the utmost freedom while mak
ing their marvelous rifle shots , The south
ern singer , Clarice Vnnco , Is certainly the
most artistic singer of coon songs yet seen
In this city. She has the dialect pat and
has a keen appreciation of the negro char-
ant 01 ; , whJcfr enables her to give to her
songs n realism which Is too often lacking
In specialties of a similar order.
of tlio IltTiliiiiin I
I. J. Dunn and George W. Day have called
the attention of the city council to the fact
that It has not taken stops to satisfy the
claim of almost $000 which they held
against the city. The two attorneys were
hired by the Hordrann Board of Flro and
Police Commissioners to fight their bat
tles In the courts when the present board
was seeking to oust It. The bill was origi
nally filed on August 1 of last year. Tlio
council has taken the position that It never
authorized the Herdman board to employ
the attorneys and that therefore the lat
ter must look to the Herdman commis
sioners for their money. The clnlin was
therefore placed on file shortly after It was
received.

A Sclf-Trntncd IJoir.
Prof. Gentry has a new acrobat , who at
every performance turns a dozen or moro
complete back somersets. Tampa Is his
name , nnd the most wonderful thing about
It Is that he taught himself. Prof. Gentry
worked on htm something like sic months
and he never became proficient. Although
n bright looking fellow , his Ideas of gym
nastics were exceedingly dense , and as day
after day went by and the training woe kept
up , Tampa becoming no moro proficient than
when ho began , the professor finally became
disgusted and gave up the task.
The show closed last season at Houston
Tex. , where It wintered , and the long and
arduous work of training animal actors was
commenced , Tampa being entirely forgotten.
The new pony drill In the flro scene took
too much of the professor's time , consequently
quently the fact that a new somerset dog
was needed to take the plaoo of Barney ,
who was growing too old to perform the
feat with grace , was overlooked. Tampa ,
In company with a dozen or so moro poodles ,
was placed In a stall in a large training
barn , and ono day , while the rest of Oentry-
dom stood around guying Tampa over his
perpetual1 failures , suddenly , for the first
time , he caught the trick , nnd while the rest
sat around looking on , but not saying a
word In their ungenerous mortification ,
Tampa was discovered In the acts.
All that was discernible was a ring of
white and a ring of block and sorao Huffy
stuff revolving like nn electric fan. It was
Tampa turning back somersets while the
rest of the dog aristocracy was simply eaten
up with jealousy and confusion. Consequently
quently , Barney was left nt home this year
and Tampa occupies the position to his in
tense delight. Barney Is now ono of the
pensioners nnd there are many , too , on the
Gentry farm , who have In tnelr time done
good service nnd have helped the Gentry
Brothers to make their fortune. Barney
was one of Prof. Gentry's first attempts nt
animal training. lie was only a Tittle
mongrel cur , but an exceedingly bright one ,
having a very keen Intuition , and what
Barney could not be taught was really not
worth a canine's contemplation. Ho now
roams at will over the broad acres of the
farm , unkempt , but happy.
The exhibition will remain at Eighteenth
nnd Douglas streets today and tomorrow ,
giving two performancea dally , at 2:30 : and
8:15 : p. m. All week long the animal actors
have entertained Targe crowds.

to his folks says :
"The government has every arrangement
made for shipping bodies In handsome
caskets , but orders have been Issued post
poning dtslnterment , aa experience has
shown that bodies , although embalmed , can
not be shipped with safety. Consequently
the rule may be made that five or six months
must efapse after death.

our company fund and tell thorn some of the
money Is now being used on those who nro
