"I bellcvo that If the farmer and mer
chants of Omaha mi lie In this project," laid
O. It. Wllllatnu of tho Klk City Improvement
club at tho Commercial club yesterday,
rofcrtlng to tho proponed electric railway
from Omaha to Fremont, "this roal can be
built, and that It will prove a profitable In
vestment." There wero about thlrty-flvo farmers from
along tho proposed line Id attendance as
representatives of tho Elk City o.-ganlza-tloo,
while a scoro of Omshn business men
had met v.llh thorn. Kuclld Martin, as prcii
ldent of the Commercial club, presided, and
tho subject was Introduced by O. A. Wol
cott, president of the Klk City club, who
spoke earnestly in favor of the proportion
from tho farmers' standpoint.
0. It. Williams of the Eik City club sub
mitted Homo staiUtlcs to show the traillc
that such a lino would enjoy. He Enid that
on September IS. 1896, there pamed through
Benson townrd Omaha ITS teams, of which
elghty-nlno wero loaded with farm products
and Bevcnty-nlno wero lighter vehicles, with
an nverago of three pasyengeru each, show
ing that 237 people came to Omaha with the
llghtor vehicles to do buslnois that day.
Theso 237 people, with probably CO per cent
of those who came with tho loaded vehicles,
would have patronized rapid transit If It
had been possible, and with them would
havo como probably ten tons of freight. On
Octobor 2 of tho samo year 205 teams passed
the samo point, of which 10S were loaded
nnd nlncty-flevon were light, carrying nearly
or qtilto 300 people who would havo patron
ised rapid transit, with another ten tons
of freight. All of thesw teams came from
west of Irvlngton. Thero nro 200 dairies
along tho proposed lino nnd huudrodH of
others In contiguous territory, nnd tho opou
ing of such a lino would materially en
largo tho dairy business of that section. Ha
estimated that CO.000 pounds of milk would
be brought to Omaha every day over such a
lino, yielding a revenue of upwards of $123
a day nlono. In the cities and towns touched
by tho lino nro 160.000 pcoplo who would
help tho farmer tralllc mako it profitable.
It would travcrso u strip of territory ton
mllei wido between hero and Fremont that
la wholly unprovided with transportation fa
cilities and could carry the malls Into those
sections, while It would open up a splendid
country for summer residence purposes. He
thought It could easily yield a rcvenuo of
1300 a dav.
W. II. Bennett spoke his wllllngncas to do
anything within his power to aid tho project.
UnsfMVtitrr I'nion Publlo Ownership.
E. Rcsowntcr Hald thnt Omaha has done
less than nny city of similar situation ami
Importanco to provldo Itself with electric
.nhnrhnn connections, lie lavoreu puun
ownership of such transportation facilities
and had discussed with tno county couimis
Blonors tho feasibility of constructing such
a lino but ft short tlmo aso. Ho belloved
tho county should taku tho necessary Bteps
nt once, that tho necefcsary bonds should be
voted nt tho earliest possible moment and
ih.it after tho road was built Its operation
could easily and profitably bo provided for
either as a public enterprise or Dy prrvaie
parties who could pay to tho county a rev-
rnuo that woulil wipo oui mo rxiicunc.
n M. Hitchcock believed tho subject ono
nt tho utmost Importance, but ho doubted
tho wisdom of making so long a lino as tho
ono to Fremont. Ho had observed tno won
rterful workings of electric lines In tho east,
tout the maximum speed attained was about
ten miles an hour, so thnt tho trip from Fre
mont would bo so long as to win llttlo traffic
from tho railways. Ho favored a lino of
twenty miles In length. Ho also thought
that public ownership would Involve com-
nllcatlons thnt might lntcriero wuu us cun
.tnipiinn. owing to tho rivalry created
mnni- farmers over tho location. Ono such
lino from Omaha would bring others and
theso would doubtless result in a great pub
lic, market Into which trains would bu run.
. w. Kellogg spoko encouragingly of tho
project, quieting Mr. Hitchcock's fears as
in tho length of tho line. Ho told of tho
operations of similar lines In Ohio and
Michigan, which had Increased tho trade of
tho mcrchantB of cities supplied tuny -w
per cent-' Tho' lino from Clcvulaud to
Akron, O., 1m forty-eight miles long nnd the
run Is made In nn hour and fifty minutes.
Ono lluo from Detroit to Huron Is slxty
ulght miles loug. Tho construction of one
lino has nlwnys led to extensions nnd new
lines, nnd cnpltsil Is nlwnys eugcr to em
bark In theso enterprises. Ho believed In
public ownership, as suggested by Mr. Hnse
water.' Ho belloved tho county hns a right
to Improve the highways In this wny, and If
such a proposition Is submitted his paper will
fight for it nnd do nil it enn to carry It.
What (lie Uoail Will Cost.
Andraw llosewater gave ft rough estimate
of tho cost of such a lino at from $700,000
to $1,000,000, If built with ns good material
and equipment as tho city lluo. Ho nlso
Intimated thnt Insldo of a yenr nnd a half
power could bo secured from a waterfall
near Fremont, ns tho old cnnnl nnd water
power project Is likely to bo revived room
Ho Bald that within n few days ho had seen
letters from New York parties Interested
who will soon coma west to ronow their
nroJoct. which will involve un outlay of
nbout $3,000,000. He belloved tho project
ought to bo encouraged, but only aftor thor
ough Investigation should any positive ac
tlon bo taken.
John 12. Utt said ho was In receipt of a
letter from a man at Columbus, O., who was
Interested In the Hues nt that point, who
said that tho lluo can bo built for $15,000
a mtlu nnd equipped with sixty-pound rulls
Frco right-of-way would mntorlnlly cut
dowu this flguro. Tho writer inserted that
from whut ho knew of tho territory u lino
from Omaha to Fremont would pay; that
there Is not n similar lino In the United
Stntes thnt Is not paying well nnd that
capital Is always enscr to Invest In them
Mr. ,Utt also said that tho Omaha Street
Hallway company Is anxlou3 to do nil In Its
powor to aid In such nn enterprise by
furnishing termlnnla and entrance to tho
city.
Frank Hlbbnrd spoko of tho ndvnntngo
such a line would be In the encouragement
of beet culture nnd dairy farming, nnd on
motion of O. M. Hitchcock, n committee was
authorlted, to comprise threo from the Elk
City club, three from tho Commerclnl club
and City Engineer Rosewater. to thoroughly
Investigate the project and report nt
mooting to be railed Inter. Tho Elk City
members are O. It. Williams, John Boll and
1'hlllp Crlnk. From tho Commerclnl club
John E. Utt and F. W. Kellogg wero ap
pointed, nnd tho third member will be up
pointed later.
Tho regular meeting of the Jacksonlan
club Saturday evening partook of tho nature
of a ratlfliauon meeting nnd was attended
by an unusjally large crowd. Harry U.
O'NejIl srent some time lu recalling tho
scenes and Incident! of the Kansas City
convention and drawing lefsons of demo
cratic confidence therefrcm. S. A. Lewis
spoke of tho silver republican convention
at the same time and place. Edgar How
ard reiterated tho confidence ho professet
that he Is to bo tho next congressman from
this district with so muih apparent solem
nity that ono man In the audience snorted
outright. After an ardent eulogy of Bry
mi's personal character, the speaker re
minded tho dub that he had Invited It on
several occasions to aid him In the solectlon
of his campaign committee, nnd that his
appeals In thai behalf had been unfruitful,
as uo committeemen had been forthcoming.
Howard wna the only tpeaker who seemed
to amcclvo thnt the meeting had nny In
tention of ratifying the stato ticket, uud
his endorsement of It was somcwhnt per
functory. "Wo went down to Lincoln." said he, "ex
pecting nothing, and we got Just what we
expected."
Ho expressed the conviction that on tho
whole tho ticket was well made up, both
with regard to location and nationality of
tho candidates.
One of tho speakers of the evening was
a travollng man named I.. A. Thompson,
who was vice president of the Ilryan Trav
eling Men's club In Iowa In IS'.h'i and who
claimed to havo lost his position because of
his advocacy of free coinage, after which ho
went out on the stump. He significantly
expressed a willingness to undergo a Mm
liar experience In 1900.
Thomas Harrington gained recognition
nnd sought to enter a protest against tho
methods that have prevailed In democratic
conventions heretofore, but nn appenl to
unduo emphasis Justified President Kd I
Smith In ca.TIng h'm down and refusing
to ullow him to talk longer.
Jacob Jnscalock proposed that the club
suggest to tho national committee a project
to havo ono day sot apart all over tho
United States for proclaiming altcglnnco to
tho Declaration of Independence.

Pimm for HiiIIiIIiik k Monument
the llcnrt of (he City Are
IHsc'iinit'il,
In
Judge n. S. linker presided at a meeting
held In Tho Ilco building last night for the
purpoao of discussing the erection of a
monument to tho memory of the soldiers of
the civil and tho Spanish-American wars
who nro burled In Omaha. The meeting
was nttended by prominent members of the
Grand Army of tho Republic posts of tho
city and vetorans of tbo Spanish-American
war, who engnged in a general discussion
of tho proposed monument and considered
plans for raising monoy.
The Grand Army of tho Republic of Omaha
has raised nbout $500 for a monument at
Prospect Hill cemetery and the Thurston
HI Ilea are raising funds for the erection
of a monument at Forest Lawn. The Joint
monument to Veterans of tho two wars Is
not to conlllct with theno two monuments
and will be located somewhere In tho heart
of tho city. The intersection of Sixteenth
and Fnrnam streets was mentioned ns a tie
slrablo location. All the men lu attend
anco at tho meeting agreed that tho loca
tion should bo some central street Inter
section, such as has been cheson for monu
ments In Ualtlmoro and Washington.
A sham battle, or several sham battles,
will probably bo given during tho Ak-Snr-Iien
fostlvltlect to ralso a nucleus for a fund
of $25,000, which Is tho sum thought neces
sary for a suitable monument. The matter
will bo considered by nil the military or
ganlzatlons of tho city and a unltid effort
will bo made to put the project on a sound
financial basis.
The elevator of enthusiasm must have
been out of order yesterday and tho high
Jump expected from some of tho candidates
did not lift Itself to tho surfaco of obser
vation possibly tho hot wonthcr Indisposed
some of tho Jumpers, possibly an Insuffi
ciency of votes and perhHps a degree of
fear that the Jump would not provo suc
cessful and would merely tend to a uselciis
revealing of their voting strength at any
rate, tho elevator girl was not a success
and as a consequence MlM Fronia DoWitt,
with scarcely an effort, walked off with tho
John Ilaumer ring which Is the second
ring sha has won In The Ueo contest. Tho
scoro by which It was captured was 33,flS0.

quantity that could be found no doubt In
the sleeves of half a dozen or more in tnu
list.
In Council Bluffs a pair of patent leather

of James Bowers, No. 011, by prying up

Mrs. Christine Lcutzner, an nged Herman
woman, is pitted ngaliiit J. M. Woolworth
nnd W. S. Poppletun lu Judge Vlnsonhalcr's
court for the possession of coveral acres of
land In tho Sulphur Springs reserve. Mrs.
Lcutzner has a much stronger claim than
tho other squatters on the bluff tract and
has made, a showing of tcu vents' undisputed
residence. Tho queen of the squatters Is a
frail little woman with thin :tands ol sil
very hair drawn tightly ncrcfa her forehead.
Sho Is of rerpcctnble nppearauco and Is rep
resented by counsel.
In her defense Mrs. Leutzncr points out
that she has livid on tho tract In open and
undisputed postesflon for many years and
clalrts that the plaintiff Is barred from oust
ing her by tho statuto of limitations. Mrs.
Lou U tier says that she was not originally a
aqiiatter, but purchased her holdlrg from
ouo Herman Plenstier when the town was
In Its Infancy. During her resldcuco thero
Mrs. Lcutzner has made many Improvements
In good faith; a small house, barn and out
buildings havo been erected and the prop
arty euclosed by a fence.
Mrs, Leutzncr makes a special point of tho
fact that she has been publicly recognized
as tho owusr of ground nnd that sho leased
tt to both tho TrnnsmlsslMlppI and Grcnter
America expositions during 1S9S nnd 180J.
It developed that tho exposition had at Mr it
disregarded Mrs. Letitzner's prtwenco nnd
had set out a number of trees on grotiud
which she considered her own.' Tho frail
llttlo woman thereupon took nn nx and
bowed down each tree. Sho nssertcd her
rights with such vigor that tho exposition
preferred to nrold trouble by taking a lease.
1'ho defendant concludes her chowlng by
setting forth that tho Woolworth-I'opploton
Interests have never held actual possoFsian,
as sho herself has. She denies positively
that she has ever aceeptetl from them any
lease putting her on the status of u tenant
nt will.
I'lnlntlrt'N Introduce Di-oiIm.
For tho plaintiffs W. S. Popplcton Intro
duced decvUi to tho property from Watron
B. Smith, master lu chancery, to John A.
Smiley and from Smiley to A. J. Poppletoii
nnd J. M. Woalworth Jointly. Mr. Popplotou
said that his father and .Mr. Woilw ,nh were
In undisputed ixmscsslon from 1S78 to 18S0.
A Ktuno basin was built about the spring
and tho privilege of vending tho water in
tho city was leased for a consideration.
In 1SS1 Mr. Poppleton made a personal
Inspection of tho tract and found about
twenty squatters In poteslon. These wore
all ousted except two, who accepted leases
nt nominal sums ns tenants nt will, agree
ing to vacate whenever a demnnd should
bo made upon them. Mr. Popplcton showed
that similar action was taken In 1SP2. In
ISM and 1S99 Mr. Popplcton said that tho
property had been leased to tho expositions
and produced tho papers to the contrnct.
Tho counsol for Mrs. Leutzncr objccto.1
on the ground that tho woman's holding was
not Included In tho property described In
tho Poppleton lease.
Tho testimony continued during tho aft
ernoon, a number of plats and technical
evidence being Introduced.
Mrs. I.ctitrnt'r Must Move,
When tho testimony had been completed
Judgo Vlnsonhnlcr rendered an Immedlnto
opinion In fnvor of Mr. Poppleton. Tho
writ of ouster was grunted nnd Mrs.
Lcutzner was directed to find qunrters else
where. Tho decision wus based on tho fail
ure of tho widow to produce any doc
umentary sign of ownership nnd nor In
ability to show fully thnt sho had held un
disputed possession for ten yenrs. Mrs.
Lcutzner testified on tho stand thnt she hnd
onco owned a conveyance from Herman
Pleasuer, who held the homestead prior to
her residence there, but she said tho paper
had been lost. Mr. Poppleton. on tho other
hand, was able to produce direct proof of
legal ownership.

A copious rain, than which nono was over
moro needed or hailed with greater wel
come, spread over tho northern portion of
Nebraska Friday night. Telegraphic advices
received yesterday from Chadron and
Norfolk nro decidedly encouraging In view
of tho depressing reports on crop conditions
received within tho last few days, Indicat
ing that the entire territory In that soctlon
would sutfor Inestimably on account of the
dry weather.
It Is probablo that Friday's rain will
Insure against a total failure of crops In any
locality, and In tho majority of case3 will
so rovlvo growing crops as to result In an
average yield. In tho northwestern part of
tho state showers were general from Long
Pine west to Chadron, tho molsturo being
of great value to tbo range and grass lands,
In tho north central portion of tho state
the rain has probably mado the corn crop
secure. From O'Neill to West Point thero
were good showers, which soaked well Into
the ground nnd revived corn wonderfully.
