Sir Thomas Upton sailed today for his homo In England. He received a surprising tribute of the esteem in which he Is held by a great many people , in a kind of a triumphal march through Kovcr.il down town streets , n great reception nt the American line pier , where he went on hoard the St. Louis , and n scries ot In1- formal receptions from thousands of people. Ho also received word of the presentation of the loving cup , which will be ready by Christinas for him. Sir Thomas and a few friends left the Fifth Avenue hotel at 8:30 : o'clock to go to the Astor house to meet the loving cup com mittee. When the Astor house was reached the Eighth regiment band was In walling with some of the members of the loving cup committee and the band played as the car riages were driven up In front of the hotel. The party remained but a few minutes at the hotel. The band , followed by the car riages , started off down Broadway playing a lively air. All the way to the American line pier Sir Thomas Upton got a reception that surprised him. People lined up on the sidewalks and cheered him and many rushed out to shake .liandti with Sir Thomas as his'carriage 'plowly passed. tlniiilnlinUlni ; Hoi ? . At Washington market a lot of market men In their working clothes ran out and stopped the carriage , making Sir Thomas | Bhako hands with them. Ho waa soon sur rounded by 'longshoremen , street sweepers and vendor and Sir Thomas smlleil as he I shook hands right and left. Both of his j h'ands were shaken by the crowd , which , { ood-naturedly half pulled him out of the | carriage. Sir Thomas and his party ascended to the second floor of the American line pier , where n platform had been erected. The long floor lind been decorated with banners and bunt ing and a largo crowd had assembled , among them being many women. On the platform was a floral representation of Shamrock , with hull of Immortelles and Balls * of white silk. The sea was made of white and yellow chrysanthemums and red roses. The vessel was four feet long. At the masthead floated the flag of the Royal Ulster Yacht club. When Sir Thomas and the others had ascended the platform ex-Mayor William L. Strong , chairman of the loving cup com mittee , signaled for silence and Jphn M. Beach , "one of the commlttcemcn , formally advised Sir Thomas of the loving cup that Is to be presented to him , adding that he and every ono else trusted that Sir Thomas would soon return. GctH HI * Monur'H Worth. Sir Thomas was cheered half a dozen times before ho was allowed to reply , when ho said : "It Is Impossible for mo to convey nt once my feelings at this moment. This extraordinary reception that I have received has gene to my heart. The great kindness shown mo here has endeared the American people to mo and I am proud to be held In such esteem by you. "I will always cherish the cup which Is to follow mo and I will prize It , I assure you , much more than -would the America's cup. , "As you know , I came here with deslgnu on ono of your most valued possessions. I did not accomplish my purpose. But I have been thoroughly compensated. It was -a square and fair race and I was squarely and- fairly licked. I could not have received kinder or more courteous treatment. "I am very sorry to be leaving you , but 1 sincerely thank you for your kindness and goodness. " Sir Thomas nhook hands with all who could get near enough as ho pushed his way to the gangplank and a great cheer went up as he stopped on the plank. On board the St. Louis a surprise awaited Sir Thomas. This was the presentation of n handsome- loving cup by a committed repre senting the American guests of Sir Thomas on the yacht Erin during the yacht races. The presentation speech was made by Ed ward A. Sumnor. Sir Thomas Llpton In accepting the cup fold : "I have failed to win the cup , but I have won the good wishes and the heart of the American people and I shall prize that moro than the CUD. " Thi yacht Shamrock and Its convoy , the Etcam yacht Erin , Old not start today upon their voyage back to England , ns waa In tended. The weather was stormy and It was deemed prudent on that account to delay tin ) departure of the boats. The yachts ac companied the St. Lou la some distance down the bay and signals were exchanged between thl liner and the Erin , after which the yachts returned and anchored off Tompklns- vllle.

U WAS the banner month tn the history of the Uurllngton road , no other month ever having approached It. AB ho surveyed the flgurca nn official ex pressed his mind by saying ! "There's n pretty good object lesson for prosperity and rcpubllcanlem. The mcro statement that no month has over equaled September In the amount of earnings of the Durllngton system may sound flat , but there's food for a great deal of reflection In It. " For the first quarter of the fiscal year and ( or the month ot September the earnings ( rom every department have been largely Increased over the same period of 1SOS. One thins which Interests the public more than anything else Is that while the company has been making moro money. It has been ex pending a great deal more than formerly , aa Is shown by the amount spent ( or operating expenses. A comparison between Septem ber , 1S99 and 189S , makes the following In teresting table : 1SD3. Increase.

A remarkable thing abut this report Is that whllo September was the big month ot the Burlington's history , It was brought about even when the company was unable to haudla all of the business offered It because ot a shortage tn freight cars. With sufficient freight cars on hand to have handled all the business which It could have had it Is Interesting to contemplate what the earn ing ! ( or September tnluht have been. A trolght official ( rom the western division of the Durllngton In Iowa stated this morning : "In my territory nlono wo were short 3,000 cars durlug the month cf September , and at this tlmo we have 1,000 orders ( or cars which we are unable to fill because of the famine. " Xeivs Thnt Create * No Snrnrlne. At the local offlces of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railroad the news published In The Bee yesterday that offi cials ot that road had decided to expend a largo amount ot money In Improving and enlarging Its facilities at Sioux City , created no surprise , ( or the reason that It has been an open secret In official circles ( or some time. Nothing definite le known now of any Improvements other than the enlargement and practical rebuilding of the present shops In Sioux City. The locomotive shops there have always looked after the repairing ot engines running between Omaha and Sioux City and on the division north o ( Sioux City , but have not been equipped ( or doing es pecially delicate or intricate work , which has had to be sent to St. Paul. It la the In tention now to provide the new shops with every ( acillty ( or doing any kind ot work that may be required. Some time ago the shops at Sioux City were partially , destroyed by Ore and rather than make extensive re pairs the officials decided to worry along through this winter and prepare ( or rebuild ing the shops next spring. K the general officials o ( the Omaha road have In mind any Improvements ( or the local service nothing Is known ot It. The shops here are small , being designed merely to care ( or the en gines which operate between here and Sioux City and look ator small repairs. The enlargement o ( the present Webster street depot o ( the Northwestern , Elkhorn , Omaha and Missouri Pacific lines Is ncarlng completion and It Is expected that the addi tions to the depot will bo ready ( or occu pancy within two weeks. The principal ad ditions consist o ( enlarged baggage room and train sheds. Pennsylvania Declare * n Dividend. PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 1.

CAPTURE ESCAPED CONVICT Two Men Clinrcfd vrllh Home Slcnl- Inpr Arrcnted ami One In Wnutrd nt tliv I'cnltvntlarr. Deputy Sheriff Shand and Ofllcers Bald win , Hudson and Sullivan arrested two men Wednesday evening , who are charged with horse stealing , and In so doing caught an escaped convict from the state penitentiary at Lincoln , over whose head there hanga a $50 reward. During the afternoon , Leopold Doll , who Hvca near Benson , swore out , a warrant In Judge Fester's court charging Jones and Charles Rnscveldt with the theft of a horse from him on the night of September 25. The officers , armed with their papers of author ity , drove out about nine miles west of town where they knew the men to bo In hiding. They halted In a gully and tied their team where It could not be seen from the roadway and waited In ambush. Soon the men drove by in a covered wagon. The officers Jumped nut and caught the horses by the bits. The men , realizing that the officers were after them , made a dlvo Into the back end of the wagon for their shotguns , hut , the officers covered them Instantly with their weapons and compelled them to surrender. Jones , the escaped convict , was very ugly and called the officers hard names. Ho told them he would have laid some of them out cold If be could have reached his gun. He escaped from the penitentiary laot year and the authorities have been on the lookout for htm for some time. He was positively Iden tified as the man wanted by tattooing , a dancing girl being designed on his left arm , and a largo star on lilfl breast. The men had two horses hitched to their wagon and one tied behind , They admitted they were trying to ma e their escape Into Iowa , as they had received a tip that the officers were on their trail. The men have been banging around the Daniels place west of Omaha for some time. Daniels Is also nn cx-eonvict , ho having served a term of one ypar tor the crime of mayhem. Ho bit a man's ear off In a fight a year or so ago. Doll recovered his horse a few days ago. Jones and IlosevoMt were placed In the city Jail nnd will be detained until further In vestigation may be made. j SOUTH OMAllVNEWS. j . . . . . , , s. * * A. f : ,1 JK fl * < V Silas A. Holcomh , candidate for Judge ot the supreme court , Is not liable to receive n great deal of support from his former friends In Sarpy county. A former county official of Sarpy county , who Is now In business hero und la a resident of this city , said yesterday that Holcomb's methods whllo co\crnor were not entirely to the liking of a large number ot Sarpy county farmers. U appears that Holcomb attempted j i 1 to eaddlo a debt upon the county which the ofilcers and taxpayers felt should not j I bo paid by the county alone. It at all. The , coso complained of Is the old Dawson claim , . where legal action was taken to recover I i a large sum of money on account of Daw- 1 son's having been beaten up by the Me- ] 1 Carty gang. The detailed history of the oc currence has been printed several times , I | 1 but a brief sketch of the troubles may not , j bo out of place nt this time. I The Daw sons were British subjects nnd i were traveling by wagon toward western I I Nebraska , where they expected to take up ! land under the pre-emption laws. Whllo riding from South Omaha to Papllllon they bccamo engaged In a fight with several ot the McCarty boys and It has always been a question as towho got the worst ot the encounter. After the fight the McCartya and the Dawsons made up and , nt the re quest of the former , the latter spent six months nt the McCarty domicile In Uellovue. Upon leaving for the wcat the Dawsons made the remark that they felt under great obligations to the SIcCartys for having.'as sisted them through the winter. After hav- j Ing located In the neighborhood of Alliance i the Dansons fell Into the hands ot n fihrewd attorney and he filed a claim against the i state for damages. Testimony was taken and the case was fought by Sarpy county. I It began to look as if the county would have to pay and sover.il tnllucnttal citizens Journeyed to Lincoln to eee the governor. Mr. Holcomb Informed the delegation that ho was satisfied the assault had been committed In Snrpy county and he was , therefore , In favor ot compelling the county to pay the claim of the Dawsons. When a protest was made to this the governor threatened to send the attorney general to the county seat to commence legal action. Finally the matter was patched up so that the national government paid the Dawsons $1,800 and the incident was closed. Sarpy county taxpayers , however , have not for gotten the attitude of Governor Holcomb and quite a number have Intimated that they will remember him nt the polls. One well-known Sarpy county fuslonist said yesterday that he had always supported Holcomb heretofore , but would not do so this tlmo on account of the effort made to saddle the entire Dawson claim on the county. This person Insisted that the Daw- sons never had a valid claim and the governor had been so informed , but he In sisted on making trouble and expense for Sarpy county Just because he had the power to do so. llcsrlstcr Suturilny.

I want to let you know what your medicine hu done for me. I had a bid flooding spell and my husband thought I was tfolng to die , I told him If he would get a bottle of Wine of Cardul , I believed It would cure me. He got a bottle , and I look five doie * , and the trouble stopped. Since that time I have Induced u many as twenty-five persons to use your medicine. s RAII J. MILLIKAN. Mrs. Millikan's ' statement is a simple , straight-forward one. She "took five doses and the trouble > i stopped. " That shows how Wine of Cardui does it's work. There is no rnvsterv about the relief you get from this simple , vegetable remedy which regulates menstruation , relieves falling of the womb and "whites" and tones up the system generally. "Female troubles" mean racking head aches and backaches , bearing-down pains in the lower abdomen , and pains and aches in the lower limbs. No tongue can describe the sickness and suffering. It irritates the nerves , and the tension becomes agonizing. No wonder many women have given up her . But every such sufferer should know that Wine of Cardui can reach her and give her relief. Mrs. Millikan's cure was as complete as it was sudden. Why not Iqt Wine of Cardui begin to-day to make you well ? Another day's delay is another day's needless and unnecessary suffering.
