In a conversation with General Shatter thla
morning ho expressed himself as confident
that the Senator would weather nny storm ,
It being a now ntccl vessel anil nbly com
manded , but he feared that the arrival would
bo delayed KO as to make It impossible to
muster the regiment out In time to reach
homo before election day.
"There Is not much margin to work on , "
Bald he , "but the Iowa friends of the rcRl-
mcnt may depend upon it that everything
that human hands can do to expedite the
mustering out will bo done in my depart
ment. "
Developments today have caused the
low ana to bump up against the question us
to who in the party really represents the
state. General Hycrs , acting for the mil
itary , arranged for Governor Shaw to go on
the United States tug Fearless , but Secre
tary of Slate Dob'ian , representing Shtivr ,
submitted that as the Mtate of California had
tendered the use of the tug General Markham -
ham , It would be In bad tn.ste for the gov
ernor to use the Kearless. The question of
who is ranking olllcer In the Iowa party
cannot bo solved , but the governor's ar
rival will no doubt close the Incident. Gov
ernor Shaw , Adjutant General Uycra , Sec
retary of States Dobson and State Auditor
Morrlam will appear In the reception parade
mounted , Shatter having tendered them cav
alry horses. Arrangements have been made
to notify the low aim Immediately when the
Senator Is sighted , nnd whether It be day or
night the party will enter the tugs and go
to meet the transport.

Two new moves were mode yesterday In
the litigation over the High school site ,
both by the objectors to the Oakland avenue
location The attorneys for T L. Smith
prepared and forwarded to State Superln
tendent Barrett a motion to etrlko the pe
tltlon of the board for a rehearing of the
appeal.
The grounds set out In the motion arc
that the petition presents no new matter ,
that the matters and facts contained In
the petition wore fully presented , considered
anil determined on the former hearing , that
the petition was not filed within the time
and manner specified by law , that the former
ruling of thu state superintendent was a final
adjudication and determination of the appeal
The motion also alleges that the Board ol
Education Is e topp l from applying for a
rehearing because that since the decisions
of the state superintendent the board at
one of Its sessions referred the matter ol
a selection of another site lo a committee
composed of all the members of the board
and that In such action the board acquiesced
and accepted the ruling of the state super
intendent. U also asserts that the ques
tion of whether the board will be compelled
to pay for the Oakland avenue property Is
not one that proper ! ) enters Into the pres-
enf case. Further that whether the bean
thall be required to pay for this property
Is one of the questions now pending In the ,

Ing that Oakland n\enuo Bite was not cen

City Attorney Wadsworth received word
jesterday from the clerk of the supreme
court that the decision of the district court
In the case of the Chicago , Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company against the City
of Council Bluffs had been reversed , This
wae the suit In which , the railroad company
secured an Injunction restraining the city
from opening South Seventh btreet acrots
Its tracks. The reversal of the lower court's
ruling now gives the city the right to open
the street and It may pcsslbly , unless the
cltj' nnd the railway company come to some
agreement , result in the Rock Island being
compelled to change materially the plans of
the extensive alterations and Improvements
now being carried out In the local yards.
The litigation between the Hock Island
and the city over Seventh street , where the
railroad's tracks cross at Fourteenth avenue ,
commenced In 1895. The Rock Island claimed
possession of the street where Its numerous
tracks cross between Thirteenth and Four
teenth avenues and denied the light of the
city to order it to laj- planking between Its
rails or do anything else to make the thor
oughfare passable to the public. The railway
claimed possession of the Btreet on three
grounds. First , that thu street was never
dedicated to the city ; second , that It held
a deed for the land comprising this portion of
the street from the late John T Baldwin and
others ; third , that It had secured possession
by rescrlptlon , or , in other words , that the
city had lost Its rights by abandonment
In 1893 the residents of that neighborhood
made complaint to the cltj council ami pe
titioned that the railway bo compelled to
plank between Its trades and put the street
IB a passable condition for both teams and
foot passengers , luiow of this agitation
the railway company brought Injunction pro
ceedings In the district court to restrain the
city from Interfering with Its possession of
the street. The case was heard before Judge
Green and resulted in favor of the Rock
Island , the Injunction prajed for being
giantcd. From this decision the city ap
pealed and now the supreme court decides
In favor of the municipality and reverses the
lower court.

Congressman Dave Mercer never hesitates
to tell on himself n storj of his early cam
paigning ddjs , for he knows that It he falls
to get It lu ni-bt someone clso will tell
It When he was running for county Judge
he wont to Albright on Sunday afternoon
to become acquainted with the people , study
the soil and the social condition * * , and In
cidentally to mention that ho was n can
didate. There Is a saloon In Albright near
the county line , and ns Mercer noticed that
moat of the people in Eight t eoineil to bo
gathered In front of the little building , he
went there.
Ho genially saluted nil and asked every
body to step up anil tell the man In the
white apron what they would have. When
that functionary had responded properly.
Mercer told them to do It again. This
happened several times , At last he wns
nbout ready to leave , and ns hu turned
towards the door , ho said.
"Well , gentlemen , Mercer's my name.
I'm running for county Judge. If you
should happen to remember me when > ou
go to the polls next Tuesday , I'd feel
mighty thankful to jou. "
"Why , yes , mister , we'd HUe to vote for
jou , " said one of the men. "We like you
first rate and we think you're all right.
Hut let's see ; what'd jou say jour name
was ?
"Mercer , Ua\e Mercer. "
"Mercer ? Well , Icmmo BCC. That's
funny. Seems to me we nominated a man
by the name of Strikes or Strllo or tomc-
thlng llko than In our convention. Where
abouts do > ou ll\o ? "
Mercer mentioned his address In Omaha.
"Omaha ? Thunder ! we all live In Sarpy
county. We'd llko to help you out , mister ,
but I EUesi we can't do It this time"
Mercer went home with se\eral dollars
less money In his pocket , but with a well-
denned Idea of the southern boundary of
Douglas county.
"Litigation sometimes becomes like n same
of poker or any other form af gambling , "
said Judge Slabnugh. "A man gets into
court ever some trilling matter and the other
fellow wins. Then the loaer thinks he has ,
another chance of winning , so he takes an
appeal. Ho Is again defeated. He becomes
doaporate , ho sees cchts piling up against
him ; be can not see how he Is to pay them ;
ho takes the case higher , still hoping that he
will win at least a partial vlctorj' Just
enough to save costs. He islands a chance of
losing In the highest tribunal , to he Is out
nil the way through. Just so It Is with
gambling. The player is beaten and plaje
ileepor and deeper , hoping to even up what
ho has lost. "
Illustrating this comparison is a case re
cently decided In Judge Slabaugh's court ,
where , after four years 'of litigation , one of
the contcotants received judgment for 3
cents , the court Instructing the Jury to so
find This was a case In which ono of the
litigants tct forth that ho had been finan
cially damaged in n horse deal. The costs
ran away up Into big flgUTs and the Inter
ested parties had suffered much mental annoyance -
noyanco and great loss of time In attending
court , for several trials were had. The be
ginning of the litigation was In the nature
of replevin proceedings , and the Inte Con
stable Dorsey Houck was a party to the suit
bylrtuo of his offlclal position. Constable
Houck died , but that didn't stop the law
suit. It went right along and would prob
ably bo going jet but for the action of Judge
Slabaugh. It is believed that his action in
ordering a fi-ccnt Judgment will convince
the litigants that it Is cheaper to keep out
of court , for both sides have been at great
expense.
Professional thlecs who make n sjioclaHy
of "lifting" overcoats , hats and other arti
cles of wearing apparel seem to have given
Omaha a. w Ido beith of late. Kussell Thorpe ,
a prominent Wyoming ranchman , who has
been In the city , thought , however , that ho
had been victimised by an overcoat lifter a
day or BO ago. Mo was the guest at a
prominent hotel nnd ono morning he hung
up his coat near the dining loom cntiancc.
Ho thought no more of the coat until late
In the afternoon , when about to take < i train
for Ashland. His proposed trip necessitated
a long drhe In the cold and the coat was
neier moro needed. A search high and low
failed to ro\eal the garment. "Bell hops , "
ticket takers , lads presiding over the check
rocin and all cmplojcs around the lobby of
the hotel were questioned , but none had
seen that overcoat.
Mr. Thorpe gave up the search and went
away without It. Arrhlng nt Ashland he
told Captain Scarlet , ono of the noted Here
ford breeders of the country , the story of
hla Ins * while they were driving Into the
country to inspect some blooded cattle.
Captain Scarlet grew reminiscent.
"That reminds mo of the devious means
by which these scoundrels carry out their
petty thievery , " Mid he. "I was once the
\lctlm of an overcoat 'lifter. ' Ono evening
after dinner I was bitting In the rotunda
of ono of the leading Chicago hotels. A few
friends and I weio about ready to go to
the theater and I had cny overcoat thrown
over the beck of my chair. Suddenly a
well drcsfc' l man came up and politely eald-
'Pardon mo , but 1 believe jou nro sitting
on my coat. ' I immediately arose and he
grabbed up the coat mlno , mind jou and
walked off with it before my very eyes
I didn't thlnl. a thing about It for some
minutes. Then It dawned upon mo that It
was my coat whkh he had walked off with
It was then too late to reco\or It. The
trick worked llko n charm and was si

Another man In the party related n Btorj
somewhat similar. "I had a scheme woikid
on mo of about the same description In Chicago - |

tluilr In the office of a hotel. I am frank |
to admit that romcthlng which I had cntcn
or drank made me a llttlo drowsy. I knew '
what was going on about me , however. Of
a sudden I felt cny hat removed. For an
Instant I believed that 11 had fallen from
my head onto the adjoining chair. I
looked to see. In that Instant the. thief
for such the fellow was quickly walked
toward an outside door. When I caught
sight of him I made my way through an- 1
othur door and caught him. I got my hat I I
all right , while the fcllo.v WP& sent to the' '
hospital for repairs. " '

After an extended trip tbrenieh the north
and west , which included the states if Ori
gon. South Dakota , Idaho nndjoinlnn ,
Major P 13. Wolcott , one of the traveling
representatives of the I'nion Stock Ynrl *
companj , is home for a few dajs In speak
Ing nbout his trip , he said 'The uust
Interesting thing out west Just now is the
sheep Industry , nnd sheep ralfcrs are more
prosperous now than they have been for
twenty jcars. It Is true tint there Is a [
shortage In the lamb crop , due pirtlillv <
to unfavorable weather at the time of lamb i
Ing , but the high price of wool encourages
the increase of Hocks , ns the profit In
fleeces alone ! s enormous' There .ippeat <
to bo a tendency Just now to get b.u K n
Merino fleeces , and crosses of breeds are
being nude with a view toward Increasing
the weight of the fleeces
"Continuously through the season Mis
souri river markets have been better < han
Chicago , and this is especially true of South
Omaha , which stands next to Chicago In
point of receipts The greatest growth In
the sheep Industty has been In South
Omaha territory "
Major Wolcott said that some sheep rais
ers were Instituting a new departure in
raising early lambs. These are breeding
early and lambing in sheds and feeding
high for the market about 1'aster < lme
This feature of the business Is getting to
be considerable of an Industry , and for such
lambs top prices are alwajs paid Onl >
experienced sheep handlers , however , can
succeed In the raising of early Iambs. In
speaking of the prices of sheep , the major
said that at Casper , Wyo , a few dajs ago ,
Major Ornu'by was offered $1 per hend f > r
the top of his ewe lambs. This Is a price
for range lambs which makes a record for
the labt twentj' jcars The tendency to
large enterprises Is shown In the bheep
business as well as In other industries Om >
firm at Soda Springs , Idaho , has gone Into
the winter with 250.000 breeding ewes and
this only numbers nbout half of their hold
ings.
