A compromlso ordinance passed tho ceun
Jll last night which settles tho dlsputo tho
:0. & M. nnd Northwestern havo'liad con
cerning the right to lay tracks along
Eighth street hotween Capitol avenue and
Howard street. Tho Northwestern was
Krnnted tho right to maintain a switch
alotig tho west Ride of Klghth street be
tween the north lino of Capitol avenue and
the south lino of Karnatn street and along
the east side of Klghth Btrect from the
south lino of Dodgo street to tho north
line of.Furnam street. This ordinance
prevents tho Northwestern from going
south of I'arnam street, but gives It n
ispcclal concession In tho lino along tho
east side of Eighth street nnd makes It
possible to construct switches running
west In tho alleys between Dodge and
Farnam streets.
The committee on railways and tcte
.graphs, consisting of Councllmen White
Worn, Hascall nnd Trostlcr, has been post
poning action bn tho ordinance granting
tho Northwestern' tho right to maintain
a lino along Klghth street between Capitol
avenue and Howard street In tho hope that
the railroads would effect a compromise.
A commlttco report on the matter was
not expected and when tho ordinance was
laid hef.no tho council with the recommen
dation that It be amended by allowing tho
Northwestern to extend Its lino to Far
nam jtreot thcro was quite a stir among
tho friends of tho Omaha line.
I mm nn (lui'Mlnii (lie Motive.
Councilman Zlmman charged tho com
mittee with a breach of faith In rcDort-
Ing such-an ordinance after they voted for
a resolution grnntlng the Northwestern
the use of Klghth street between Farnam
and Howard streets nnd questioned tho
motives of men who ndvocato a measure
and then oppose It without nny good rea
son. Mr. Hascall resented tho Third ward
councilman's charges and stated that tho
committee had acted after having consulted
interested property owners who oppose
tho Northwcslcrn's extension south of Far-
nam.
Th committee's report was ndftptod by
a vote of 6 to 8, Aldermen Uurklcy, I,o-
beck and Zlmman opposing Its adoption.
Mr. I.obeck Immediately moved that tho
ordlnanco bo further Amended In such a
manner th'at tho Northwestern may use
inn east sldo of Klghth street between
Knrnam and Douglas Btrcets. This change
wa nccepted with but llttlo onnosltldn and
tho amended ordlnanco passed by unnnlmous
vote.
Atlorneys for both of tho railroad com
panics nttonded the meeting and watched
tho proceedings with much Interest. Al
though tho Norlhwestorn was very anxious
to enter tho territory south of Farnam
fltreot Its representatives expressed them
selves an being fnlrly well pleased with the
compromise. Tho additional track granted
Tim Northwestern on the cast oldo of
Eighth street Is not entirely to tho liking
of tho H, & M.. but Is loss distasteful to
that oompany than a track south of Far-
nanv street would have beon.

There Is a steady demand being made upon
the city council for the erection of a new
Ilr6 house In the Second ward. Owing to
the location of tho other two flro houses,
residents ot this ward now claim that they
havo not ndequnto lire protection nnd some
thing should nt once bo done. Joseph
Dvorak, one of the councllmen, said yester
day that ho was heartily In favor of the
building of u new house. "Of course," he
said, "that Is in my ward, but that is not
tho reason that l am championing tho move
ment. You see, those people over there
are afraid, for the past experience has
shown that by the tlmo tho department can
get thcro tho damage has already been
done."
Chief Etter says that he desires that
something looking to this end bo done at
once. He admits the Inadequacy of tho
present department to copo with fires In
the vicinity of tho city whence tho com
plaint Is now coming. Ho also proposes
the purchaso of tho chemical hook nnd lad
der wagon nnd Is pushing both mntters
with tho parties who have the power to fix
up theso delinquencies, it Is now certain
that tho purchaso of the chcmicnl wagon
Is practically disposed of, Inasmuch as the
packing houses havo signified their will
HigtioBs to contribute for a fund of this kind.
At next Monday night's meeting of tho
city council it Is thought that this mnttcr
will bo brought up nnd fully discussed nnd
somo nctlon taken looking to the final dis
position of tho project.

PROTEST FROM A PREACHER

OMAHA, Aug. 1.1. To tho Kdltor of The
Heo: I desire through your columns to
record my protest against tho nctlon ot
n class of zealots in tho Methodist Kplsco
pal church, who, as self-constituted critics,
novcr miss nn opportunity at conferences,
Kpworth league conventions and nsscm
hllcH to assail tho president over tho army
rnnteon. 1 protest against this narrow
minded crltlrlsm bocniuo, evon It christian
sentiment weru n unit upon tho caulecn
question, It could no moro justly hold tho
president responsible for tho opinion of
his attorney genernl than It could hold tho
pastor ot a church responsible for tho
political opinions ot tho president of his
board of trustees.
Rut sentiment Is not n unit on this
question. While I am personally opposod
to tho canteen, thero aro Jlist ns good men
Including somo of our army chaplains, who
bellevo that ns license Is the best way to
rcgulnto tho liquor traffic for the state, so
the canteen Is tho best solution of the
liquor evil In the army.
I protest against this nagging nt the
president beruuso it misrepresents tho
spirit of Methodism nnd tho opinion ot the
groat majority of Methodists wtfo strive
to llvo up to tho. Ideal of the now tostn
ment and our book of discipline, which
forbids "Unrhnrllablo conversation; par
tlctilnrly speaking evil of magistrates or
of ministers "
I protest bcrnil3o such criticism Is tnken
by the more Ignorant masses to he tho
church's endorsement of tho too prevalent
nnd severe criticism of our chief othclals.
which Is one of tho evils attendant upon
tho blessings of free speech nnd a free
press and Is fostered by lnlenso partisnn
spirit nnd the bitterness of political cam
paigns. When a president Is elected by
whichever political pnrty, It Is tho duty
of nil good citizens (and christians cer
tainly ought to be such), to treat him with
tho rCspect due his position.
It Bcems to mo to be In particularly
bad taBte for people who call themselves
.Methodists to hound Ml. McKlnley because
ho happens to be nn honored member of
that church. lURht-mlnded democrats and
republicans, nllke, representing nil tho
I religious denominations, agree that Mr.
McKtnlcy's life nnd character as a chric
( ttan gentleman nro above reproach cid
I that ho does not deservo such persecution.
Therefore permit mo to protest against
this unchrlstlnn and ungentlomnnly nag
ging nt tho foremost Methodist Inyman In
! the world.

In the death of Collls P. Huntington, tho
millionaire railroad magnato and finan
cier, Gould P. Dletz of this city lost a life
long friend, ono with whom relations ot
tho closest Intimacy had been maintained
for many years. It was to Mr. Dletz for
this reason n particularly sad shock when
he heard tho news of the railroad mag
nate's sudden death.
"Tho passing away of Mr. Huntington
was a surprise to me." said Mr. Dletz nt
his residence, 1002 North Twenty-eighth
street, last night. "Ho was n man ot mar
velous physical strength nnd had n consti
tution of Iron. I fully expected that he
would bo spared to the ripe old ago of 1)0
years. I was for several years on terms
of tho closest Intlm.iry with Mr. Hunting
ton In our younger days. No one, perhaps,
knew him better than I. Many a tlmo we
slept together whcrl wo were young men;
many a winter's night wo sat nbout tho
big slovo In his storo back In Oneonta.
N. Y., nnd talked of our future plans nnd
tmlldcd nlr castles. My first acquaintance
with Collls P. Huntington was when he
was a young man barely past his majority.
At that time he made frequent trips to the
town In which I lived at Oneonta" as n ped
dler, dealing In silverware, notions nnd
such nrtlcles as arc usually found in a
peddler's pack.
"Later ho acquired money enough to get
n horse and buggy nnd continued ns a trav
eling peddler. I well remember tho two
tin trunks he carried nround with him
after he arose to tho distinction of driving
n rig. Huntington traveled all over the
cast. One tlmo ho remarked to mo 111 his
usual Jovial manner: 'I havo driven over
tho Cumberland mountains, whero no ono
ever dared to go nfoot.'
Ifeulii ii a Mr roll li lit.
In lSt; our Intimate acquaintance be
gan. At that tlmo Collls had saved from
Ills earnings as a peddler about $1,500 nnd,
In company with his brother, settled In
Oneonta, opening up a genernl merchan
dise store. I went to work for them as n
clerk. I was nt that tlmo 18 years old and
Collls P. Huntington was somo five years
my senior. Tho wonderful business sa
gacity possessed by him asserted Itselt
from tlin Btnrt. lie was a success na a
business man. Ho had a Jovial disposition
and mndo friends with all tho country folk
around Oneonta.
"Ho was a man of remarkable strength,
physically, as well ns mentally. I have often
seen him pick up a barrel of salt weighing
300 pounds nnd lift It Into a wagon. His
power of brawn and brain enme to him
through his own exertions. He cultivated
his musclo nnd at tho snme tlmo Bought to
lnlprovo his brain, although he possessed
but meager advantages from an educa
tional standpoint.
"Mr. Huntington wns an excellent buyer.
Frequently I made trips with him to New
York and In striking a business bargain
ho was nt nil times alert and active. And
ho left no stone unturned to' keep his goods
selling. Ono winter, I remember, business
wns a t r 1 tic slow, to wc loaded a sleigh full
of mcrchnndlso nnd drove out Into the coun
try from Oneonta, disposing of the goods nt
auction. Before wo finished our trip the
snow melted away and wo had to walk
home, nbout fifteen miles distant. It wns on
ono of these trips to New York thnt Mr.
Huntington first Indicated his warm friend
ship for me. I wns then but a moro boy,
but I had a deslro to enter Into business
for myself. Thero seemed to be a favorablo
opening for n drug storo In Oneonta and
whllo In Now York I casually romarked
that I wished I wcro nblo to grasp the op
portunity. Finding that I wns held back
through Irlck of funds, Mr. Huntington took
mo to ono of tho wholesale houses and stood
gocd for mo In tho purchnso of the goods I
wished,
AVnn ii VI nn nf Cloniv Appllent Ion.
"He wns at all times modest, un
assuming and a perfect gentleman. He
never used tobacco In nny form nor drank
nt all. All of his attention was centered
in his business and It Is to this fact that I
nttrlbutn his great success tho power of
close application nnd concentration. In
1818 Mr. Huntington left Now York nnd
struck out for California. Ho had a hard
tlmo gottlng there, but when ho finally
landed ho began tho great commercial and
railroad career which marks Jilm us one of
tho greatest financiers of the century. From
that tlmo on our business affairs kept us
widely separated, but wo havo kept up a
frequent correspondence nnd I have often
seen Mr. Huntington.

Tho second blow to the trading stamp
system was struck lost night when, at a
meeting of the retail merchants In the Com
mercial club rcoms. It was decided not to
pay the stamp tompanlcs any further assess
ments unless the retailers can bo satisfied
that tho stamp books of customers arc being
redeemed according to agreement. During
tho meeting n telephone message was re
ceived from a gathering cf retail merchant
In Sdulh Omaha, to the effect thnt u similar
cotiroo hod been decided upon there.
Soveral members of tho Omaha meeting
reported Hint their customers h.1d com
plained that tho trading stamp companies,
on various pretexs. had refused to redeem
stamp books. Others reported that thcro
find been a decided "run" on tho premium
stores during the day, und that few do
slrablo prizes remained.
Committees which had beon nppolntcd nt
n previous meeting to circulate petitions
among retail merchants asking them to re
frain from patronizing tho stnmp system
reported very gratifying progress. A total
of 30fl signatures had been secured. Not
all of these, however, wcro clients of the
stump companies. Fifteen merchants who
aro now handling tho stamps refused to

.A wonderful Increase In tho imslncss ot
the different South Omaha packing houses
la shown by n statement lately compiled
by tho managers. Although somo of tho
houses aro nut running full forces of mcu

greater than Is usual nt thin season of
tho ytnr. When seen yesterday nil of
the managers said that the layoit wns tem
porary nnd that In it few weeks the full
I or co would be ngnln nt work. In fact
suvcral managers expressed doubt ns to
whether they could secure tho necessary
employes to turn out tho orders that have
poured III upon them.
Tho increase In products Is shown by
their railroad business. In 1S90 tho num
ber of refrigerator curs that wero being
used by Cudahy wns small and consisted
mainly of leased foreign cars. At present
nil of tho old lensed cars nn! being used
r.nd 200 new ones have been leased during
the year 1000. besides this during this
year tho company has purchased 200 new
cars ot Its own. making a total addition
for 1900 of 100 cars.
Mr. Howe, superintendent for the Ar
mours, said that thoro had been a vnst In
crease in tho number of refrigerator cars
owned by tho firm and that the new Btipply
of tho Chicago houso had been partially
U3cd at South Omaha. Tho company has
been established In South Omaha only
thrco years and tho tncrensu of business
does not loom up like that of some of the
others. However, Mr. Howo said that busi
ness was on n general Increase nnd that
1000 would for eclipse tho other years.
Superintendent Mnnchee of Swift's' plant
raid thnt tho Increase of refrigerator cars
of tho plant had been at least 2 per cent
nnd thnt nbout 37 nbsolutoly' new cars
for South Omaha had been purchased by
tho company. When nsked how tho busi
ness of 1000 would compare with former
years ho said that It would show a marked
increase highly satisfactory to his com
pany nnd nbsolutoly beyond nny expecta
tions thnt they had when the plant here
wan enlarged.
Tho Omnha Packing company Is now
using 200 enrs more than they had at the
beginning of tho year. Theso have been
purchased by tho company with tho view
of disposing of leased foreign cars, How
ever, tho business of tho plnnt has so In
creased that all of tho leased forolgn cars
aro Btlll bciog used, together with the
newly purchased ones. Mr. Taliaferro
said that the business of this yenr had
doubled that of prior years, especially
In their beef department. While the su

The order of tho district court. Issued a
short tlmo ago at tho request of ThomuA
lloctor, restraining City Treasurer Koutsky
of South Omaha from paying $10,000 In war
rants drawn by the Hoard of Education ot
South Omaha In payment for the con
struction nf the Jungmann school at
Twentieth nnd O streets, Is still In forct
and Is likely to rcmnln so tor some time.
When tho enso was called a day or two
ugo It was Indefinitely postponed on ac
count pf tho absence from tho city of ono
of tho nttorncys lu tho case.
This restraining order is the result of
the trouble now being experienced by tho
Hoard ot Kilucntion in South Omaha In
selecting a site for a new school building.
A mnjorlty of tho board decided to pur
chaso the site offered by Thomas Hoctor
at Twenty-third and K streets, but certain
citizens considered the prlco ton high and
abcurcd an Injunction, contending that
thero were no funds nt hand with whl-h
to pay for tho site.
As the warrants In the Jungmann cas
have been properly Issued and cashed the
contractors will not loso auythtng, but tho
holders of tho warrants may have to mako
a light for tholr money. It Is understood
that two of tho banks of South Omnha
bold theso warrants and have secured legal
advlco on tho matter, Attorneys nold that
tho warrants will havo to bo paid, as they
represent pay for labor and material al
ready performed and furnish "d.
