NOT CONFINED TO RATE WAR
XnUrait of Railroad Men in Qnlf Line Ex

COMBINATIONS FORMED FOR FINAL CONTROL
Outcome of SHnntlon ,
Ilnnior Mont Generally Accepted In
Hint I'lillndcliililnti * Will
Dictate Ilcoricnttlsntlon.
No railroad enterprise In ( ho history of
the United States , It Is claimed by well In
formed men , has created BO much discus
sion , led such a stormy existence and yet
continued to bo a factor In railroad circles
ns the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf , which
| Is just now plunged Into the most critical
period of Us stormy career by the contro
versy over freight rates , resulting In the
' boycott with which newspaper readers ore
generally familiar. ,
I- The Gulf line has certainly been a maker
' of history , nnd the outcome of the present
crisis will bo an Important addition to Its
1 already well filled pages. Ancnt this matter
5 It Is Interesting to contemplate the stories
that are afloat regarding the future of the
road , nnd for an enterprise that succeeded
i' In bankrupting Itself and getting Into the
\j \ ibands of receivers so aulckly It Is also in-
, ' torestlng to note the lively scramble that
deems to prevail In the effort to secure con-
trol.
trol.A oromlncnt executive officer of ono of
5 the iblg western roads In speaking of the
( existing freight difficulty stated : "Tho only
1 euro for the present trouble Is the purchase
' at the Gulf road by a syndicate headed by
Borne man like E. II. Harrlman. It Is rea-
' , Bonablo o suspect that Mr. Harrlman do-
Biros to tnnlto the Gulf road a part of the
f Chicago & Alton system. If ho succeeds In
doing so the history of the Gulf road as ?
demoralizer of the rate situation will como
to a sudden end. and nil the western and
Bouthwestern roads would rejoice. " The
theory advanced by this official Is not an
' unlikely ono. The relation of the Chicago
& Alton to the Gulf line In the present rate
war Is a criterion of the favor with which
It U viewed by Mr. Ilarrlman , the executive
head of the Alton. The latter road Is ono
of the few which has refused to join In the
boycott ncalnst the Gulf line.
Besides the connection of Mr. Harrlman
with the future of the Gulf road comes the
reports that John W. Gates has been the
principal buyer of securities In Doston ; that
the Thallman syndicate , or , as It Is bolter
known , the Now York reorganization com
mittee , has boon gobbling up everything In
night ; that the Philadelphia committee has
Booured the support of the Holland Interests
In the road and -that the Stlllwcll Interests
la Wall street have formed a plan for the
reorganization and have gained the assent
of two-thirds of the security holders. A
, Bpcclal telegram to The Bee from Chicago
Btaten that the Philadelphia committee has
formally announaed that It has secured con
trol of the reorganization and gives an outline -
, line of Its plan. This Is most generally bo-
llovcd to bo the final outcome of the matter ,
because It has practically been established
that the Holland Interests have combined
with the Philadelphia committee and It Is
known that they are the holders of a vast
L majority of the securities nnd are adverse
, to any plan for reorganization which does
I Dot Include a generous recognition of their
holdings.
' With all of these combinations In the field
Ibont upon securing control of the Kansas
City , Plttsburg & Gulf there Is room for an
( endfcss amount of speculation , but It Is
practically assured that final control will bo
gained only by the combination that makes
> itho highest bid for the property when It la
> auctioned off by order of the United States
1 court , and until that time all the rumors of
this syndicate or that combination secur
ing control of the Gulf line have no founda
tion in fact.

OMAHA. Nob. . Aug. 18 , 1899. To the Ed
itor of The Bee : In your report of the snap
or "rump" meeting of the Fifth Ward Ito-
publlcan club , held last Tuesday evening ,
you fall to give an account of the speech de
livered by ono Boriedlct , which to our mind
was not only a talk that was Indiscreet , but
It was a bold si no at the laboring men of the
ward. We are surprised that a man like W ,
A. Sounders , who aspires to the nomination
for county judge , should nc-t only listen to
such abuse without protest , but actually ap
plaud the harangue. Among other things
Mr. Benedict said : "I am surprised , tickled
and pleased to sea such a representative body
of men , citizens , republicans and taxpayers
of the Fifth ward prusent bore tonight. I do
now and always did object to and oppose ths
bum element at a club nuetlne or gathering
of any kind , such as we had here last Friday
night rolled up here , brought up hera nnd
thulr 10 cents paid for them to do their mas
ter's bidding like slaves. "
I was present at the previous meeting and
saw nothing of the typo of men described as
the "bum" element In the hall. I did see a
number of laboring men who were present
nnd joined the club. Though they may not
1m ns fortunate as Mr. Uouod.'rt ' In having
n supply of laundered shirts and tullor-moJo
suits , they are just as good republicans and
just as honest nnd honorable men. In this
country It is no crlmo to be poor , nor Is It
a crlmo to bo a laboring man , nor Is It a
crime for n laboring man to be a republican.
The republican party makes tbo welfare of
the worklngmen a sacred consideration , It
lina always. In promulK'Ulug Its principles
and crystallizing them Into law , jealously
guarded the Interests of labor.
Some men have a natural inclination to
nabobery. They are opposed to anything In
any way associated with manual labor. To
Its credit , however , there are only a few of
such men In the republican party.

The unparalleled success of all our special

the popurar demand for a high class baking
powder nt a low price , have Induced us to
place on the market a now brand of "Cap.
Itol" goods known as
BENNETT'S CAPITOL BAKING POWDER.
We are anxious for all the patrons of our
other "Capitol" goods to try this brand of
baking powder , for wo are confident that
they will find It to possess the same on- '
perlor qualities which characterize nil
goods bearing the name of "Bennett's Capl-
tol. " To Introduce this new brand wo wlir
give away free with the first 1,000 cans an
elegant Rogers silver plated teaspoon , latest

"Bennett's Capitol Baking Powder" Is
manufactured especially for us , and put up

perfection in baking powder , nnd no pains
or expense have been spared to secure tbo
BEST QUALITY that could bo produced.
AVe absolutely guarantee this baking pow
der to bo equal or superior to ANY in the
market.
Wo will tell you a secret about high-
priced baking powders. The manufacturers
of some brands of baling powder spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars every year
for advertising their goods , nnd this , cnor-
mous expense is necessarily added to the
price of the goods and the consumer haste
to pay it. and ho Is told that "quality" la
what makes the difference. But wo main
tain that nature does not produce any bet
ter materials , nor art any better processes ,
for making high-priced baking powders than
we use in the manufacture of "Bennett'e
Capitol Baking Powder. " But wo do not
spend fortunes in advertising this baking
powder , because wo make It to soir to our
thousands of patrons who have como to
know that the words "Bennett's Capitol"
stand for first quality.
Wo wish to Invite nil people who are ac
customed to using high-priced baking pow
ders to try this brand , nnd give It a thor
ough test , for wo are confident that It will
prove Itself equal or superior to all , no
matter what the price may be.

CLUE TO SHUKERT BURGLARY
Illaclc TrnnU Hilled in Slonx City
Monday Ilollcvrd liy Police io
Contain Sloleu Fur * .
One of the employes of the Union depot
baggage room has tbe Instincts of a Bhrewd
detective. Last Monday morning a huge ,
black trunk attracted tbe attention of tbe
baggagemen and caused considerable specu
lation as to Its contents. The trunk was
unusual because of Its size , color and ap
parent durability. There was another oddity
about It which passed unnoticed by all but
ono of the men , Thla was the strong smell
of camphor evident when handling the
trunk.
After reading in the newspapers of the
Shukert burglary the man remembered thi
trunk and informed the chief of police that
ho thought ho bad a clue to the robbery.
The idea occurred to him that furs are
usually packed In camphor. In the mean
time detectlvea working on the case hit upon
a clue connected with tbe same black trunk ,
and It Is believed by the pollco that If they
can find tbo owners of the trunk and the
trunk itself the burglars will be captured
and the plunder recovered.

A QltKAT ACT.
One of the 3Ianv FcatnrcH of a IH
light fill Performance.
RIngltng Brothers , whoso popular big cir
cus exhibits in Omaha Monday , September
4 , are making a ppeclalty of trained nnl *
mal features this season. There Is an ele
phant brass bond , n company of pachyderms
which have actually been taught to play
iiuslc ; a remarkably educated bull , a huge
baboon that performs a riding act on a
spirited horse and fights a four-round set-to
with It strainer , a diminutive Jap ; and
many other novelties In the trained nr.lrual
lino. Probably the most Interesting trained
animal feature , however , Is O'Brien's sixty-
one horse act. Three characteristics of
this great act are particularly notable the
large number of horses , the greatest com
pany of cqulncs over trained In this way.
the brilliancy and costly magnificence of
the trappings , and the Immense amount of
paraphernalia used In the production. Tbo
display Is given In the mlddFo ring. This
area Is especially constructed for the act ,
and is carried by the show. Instead of the
usual circle of earth , there Is a wooden
parapet , the top of which forms a narrow
circular platform enclosing the arena. In
the center of the ring Is a succession of
circular stages , rising like terraces ono
above the other , and ending In a lofty pe
destal. Tbe director takes his station in
the arena. A signal Is given , and n hand
some thoroughbred , \\lth arched neck and
waving pfumes , canters Into the ring. This
proud specimen of horsehopd , the matchless
charger , "Silver King , " Is'tho avant courier
of sixty beautiful cqulncs , unrestrained by
rein or bridle , which approach with tbe
\\elrl nnd sweep of a cavalry charge , nnd
then , suddenly halting In their mad flight ,
line up In solid column , awaiting with proud
Impatience the first orders of their trainer.
The performance that follows staggers even
the evidences of the senses. The equine
actors , without the slightest hesitation or
prompting , execute the most difficult evolu
tions , dance , plroutto , form colossal tab
leaux , and go through the movements of a
difficult military march. Then a score or
more of the horses take their places on the
parapet of the ring ; others group them
selves upon the circular central stages. At
the apex Is the shapely "Silver King. "
Vaulting upon the back of this beautiful
cqulno , and raising the superb animal unlit
be seems to bo poised In the nlr , the trainer
nods his head. Instantly the great com
pany of horses Is In motion. Some run to
the right , others to the left , but without
leaving the narrow platforms. With their
sleek coats gleaming , with their radiantly
beautiful trappings glittering In the light ,
and the waving of their varl-colored prumcs ,
they are said to form a picture of Inde
scribable beauty , lovely in Its coloring nnd
thrilling In Us dramatic effect. This finale
never falls to create a sensation. O'Brlen'e
famous sixty-one horse net Is only ono of
scores of features with this great show
which It is declared presents the finest zoo
logical1 display , the most complete circus
performance , tbe most historic hippodrome ,
nnd the finest free street parade ever seen
on earth.
CASE OF POLICEMAN INDA
City Attorney Conncll , Convinced of
HlB Innocence , Will Defend
xim to Hie Kiul.
City Attorney Connell , who looked after
the Interests of Officer Inda before the cor
oner's Jury , doea not consider the verdict of
the jury worth very much , because of Its
vagueness. It does not state that Officer
Inda is responsible Tor the wound that led
to Smith's death , but simply that the wound
was Inflicted while the man was iu the offi
cer's custody. There was 110 one about
while Smith was in custody except his fel
low prisoner , Lewis , whose testimony agrees
with that of the officer himself that no
weapon was used by Inda. All the testi
mony introduced pointed to the same facts
and nowhere did it conflict , Had there
been a conflict of testimony. Mr. Connell
holds , there might have been some reason
for the verdict , but as It Is the Jury seems
to have had a general impression that the
officer should bo held and therefore recom
mended further Investigation. It did not
need the verdict of the jury , Mr. Connell
says , to Insure further investigation.
When the city attorney went into the case
It was with a view of ascertaining whether
the officer wai unjustly accused or not , as
It Is the Intention of the legal department
of the city to defend police officers In all
cases where they are prosecuted for simply
doing- their duty. Unless this Is done , Mr.
Conncll says , the city will bo unable to get
responsible men to serve on the force. It
happens many tlmro that officers are sued
for false arrest when It would have been
gross negligence on their part had they not
made the arrest complained of. As the
hearing 1)eforo the coroner's Jury progressnd
the city attorney became firmly convinced
of the Innocence of Officer Inda and now In
tends to defend him through to ths end.
The theory of the defense will be that the
fatal wound was Inflicted prior to the arrest
and was of ouch a nature as to allow the
wounded man to retain consciousness and
full control of his mental and physical fac
ulties. The testimony of the medical men
at the coroner's investigation wont to show ,
so the defense 'bcllovew , that It was by the
slow seepage of blood through the cracked
sphenoid hone and the formation of clots
on the ibraln that death was caused. The
sudden shock of the blow and the fall was
too much for tbo system to rally from.
County Attorney George H. Shields filed
a complaint yesterday against Inda ,
charging him with the murder of James
Smith , Inda was arraigned In the police
court. His plea was not guilty and oo a
motion by his attorney for release on ball
Judge Gordon tookthe , case under advlse-
mcnt until Monday at 9 o'clock.
Judge Gordon said he needed tlmo to con
sider whether or not Inda ought to bo re
leased on 'bond and what size bond would
ba necessary in case ho decided to accept
one.

The Modern Woodmen of America have
