A street enr p.i3s, good for fifty yearj,
ou which he, hla wife and two children nmy
lido free on any of the lines operated by
thi Onwha. Council Muffs A Suburban
Hallway company, Is what Charles It. Han
nan, president of the First National bank
of this city, assert he Is legally and law
fully entitled to. In order to compel the
company to Issue such a pass, President
Hnnmin yesterday began action in the su
perior court In the nature pf au applica
tion for a writ of mandamus.
President llannan recites that he, Jointly
with Kmrnot Tinley, was on or about Juno
26, 1900, and had been for time prior, the
owner of a ctrtnln franchlso granted by the
.. . Counel niuffs tn th- rmincll Muffs
,lf or council inuna to me council iiiiins,
I'al0 Manawa & Knst Omaha Constructloa
company. This franchise was assigned to
tho Omaha, Council Muffs & Suburban
Hallway company. Ono of the considera
tions, he alleges, for the assignment of
tho franchise, among other things, was tho
agrcemont on the part of tho street railway
company to furnish Mr. llannan and tho
members of his family with tickets en
titling him and each member of his family
to rldo at will on all cars operated by tbo
Suburban company upon any of tho streets
named In tho franchise.
This agreement, President llannan con
tends, was partly In writing nnd partly
oral, and was mndo part of tho minutes of
tho session of tho board of director of
tho defendant company.
Ho says ho has repeatedly demanded
that the company fulfill Us agreement, but
that It has persistently refused to do so,
and that Instead of enjoying tho distinction
of riding on a pass ho and the morabers of
his family arc compelled to pay their fare.
President llannan asks the court to Is
sue a writ of mandamus compelling the
defendant company to lssuo him a pass
good for himself, his wlfo nnd two children
good for fifty years from December 1, 1S07,
that being the life of tho franchlso which
he nnd Emmet Tinley assigned to tho
Omaha, Council niuifs & Suburban Rail
way company.
It Is understood that Emmet Tinley, who
appears as attorney for President Han
nan tn this suit, wilt begin similar pro
ceedings on his own behalf. Attorney Tin
ley's family Is of tho same proportions ns
President Hannan's, himself, wife and two
children.

mer, charged with the theft of thlrty-flvo
head of cattle, tho property of Henry Grobe

a mortgage on them. This mortgage be
came due last April, when DoWItt secured
nn extension claiming that the cattle were
not fit for the market. He also secured an
additional loan from Underwood & Benton
10 nuy corn to feed tho cattle with, tin
derwood & nenton, when they learned of
uevwu s arrest, went to look un the mn
on which they held a mortgage and found
they had been sold several monthB ago, and
that DeWitt had used the proceeds of tbo
sale to buy his farm near Logan with. When
they learned this they made DoWItt sign
a deed of the farm to them. This he did
after his nrrest.
It was .aid yesterday that-relatives of

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Juno 11. (Special.) Work
was begun this morning on what will be
tho longest electric rural railroad In tho
United States. This Is by the newly or
ganized Dcs Moines, Nevada ft Eldora
Rnllwny company, In which tho owners of
tho Des Moines street railway lines nrc
largely Interested. Some days ngo nn effort
was mado to start work, but n part of the
right of way was sought by tho Dcs Moines
Union railroad for nn outlet for a proposed
bolt line. This was tied un with nn InJune.
tlon and this morning the promoters of
tho Novada electric line put 100 men and
teams at work along the Des Moines river
In the north part of town. However, this
afternoon nn Injunction, secured by the
owners of the Dcs Moines Union railroad,
stopped the proceedings. This will delay
tho work.
Tho Intcrurban company has a largo
amount of steel on hand now with which
to begin work. The route. Is nlraost di
rectly north through the country nnd to
Nevada In Story county. This part of the
lino will bo completed this year.
It Is possible the lino will bo finished to
Eldora by next winter. Tho route has
been surveyed and most of the right of way
secured. Ultimately the road Is to be built
to Waterloo and Charles City. Tho Des
Moines people Interested are the ones who
havo projected tho electric lino to Wlntor
sct and tho one to Indlanoln nnd the only
reason theso lines havo not been first built
Is that there Is trouble about tho fran
chlses and delay with the army post settle

With morning and night parades a session
of the tmpernl council and sightseeing tho

day,
Beautiful wenthcr favored the Shrlnors for
tho second day. The official ceremonies began
this morning, when the nobles wore ac
corded a military escort from their head
quarters to the Standard theater, whero the
business of tho order was to be transacted.
Tho Imperial officers, headed by Lou B. Win
sor of Reed City, Mich., Imperial potentate,
nnd Philip C. Shaffer of Philadelphia,
deputy Imperial potentate, rode In car
riages, each drawn by four white horses.
Tho grand marshal, E. F, Allen, nnd his
aides wero mounted, as was the patrol of
the Almas tcmplo ot Washington, D. C, and
n patrol of Ararat temple of Kansas City.
Patrols from a half hundred cltleB followod
on foot. The nobles from Washington In
their Bedouin costumes wero signaled out
for tho heartiest of the chcorlng that
greeted tho cavalcado on Its way through
strocts lined with hundreds of people.
At tho Standard theater thcro followed at
10:!!0 an exchango of greetings nnd nn ad
dress from tho Imperial potentate.
After tho welcoming spoeches at tho then
ter all but delegates wero excluded and tbo

ing reports of officers nnd committees. The

lected. Tho climax of the pageantry wns
tho clabornte parnde of the Shrlncrs to
night through tho principal downtown
streets, tho sidewalks of which were
crowded with people.
In the Mailt Parade.
Tho downtown streets were given over to
night to brass bands and marchers In bril
liant oriental costumes, and fireworks and
tho booming of mortars. The splendor of
tho costumes was enhanced by the electric
lights and by the pyrotechnics set off by
the Topeka Flambeau club, which led the
procession.
Ararat tcmplo of this city furnished one
of the most attractive features of the pa
rade. Twenty-four of Its members who are
connected with the Live Stock exchango
were organized as a mounted patrol. They
wore turbans nnd flowing robes of yellow
nnd whlto nnd were mounted on Jot black
steeds and armed with long spears. The
regular patrol of Ararat temple was garbed
tn velvet satin and fine cloth. The other
organizations wero no less brilliantly ar
rayed In purple nnd scarlet, chrome yellow
nnd ultramarine blue, and nil the extreme
tints In tho cntegory of colors wore seen.
Some of tho best bands in the country wero
in the procession and tho strains of martial
music were continuous.
A unique feature of the parade was the
Indian temple patrol of Oklahoma City,
which Indulged In typical Indian war
dances at regular Intervals. Tho Zuhrah
temple's patrol from Minneapolis was also
In special favor with tho crowds. Porhaps
the most picturesque division of the pa
geant was tho mounted patrol from Wash
ington, D. C. This patrol, each member of
which wore the costume of an Arab shlok,
belongs to Almas temple.
The Aladdin patrol from Columbus, 0
was brilliantly costumed and was a general
favorite. Next was tho patrol of the
Mcdlnah tcmplo from Chicago with twenty
four men whoso marching tactics aroused
much interest. A gorgeous patrol was thrt
of tho Moolah tcmplo from St. Louis.
The head of the parade reached conven
tion hall at 10 o'clock. Tho Arab patrols,
each company headed by a band, passed In
at tho main entrance nt the south end of
tho building. The entlro nrcna floor was
Bet apart for tho maneuvers of the patrols
and nfter ghlng nn exhibition of fancy
drilling they marched out through the
north end of the building.
Tho seating capacity of the hall, In tho
boxes nnd balconies nnd the space In the
roof garden was resorved for women. No
men wero ndmlttcd other than those hav
ing to do with the management of tho en
tertainment. WIND CAVE NOW HAS A RIVAL

CUSTER, S. D., Juno 11. (Special.) Tho
cave that was discovered west of thl3 city
last winter by the Mlchaud brothers and
Charles Busch Is proving to be much
larger that at first thought, Several miles
of passageways havo been opened up and
tho chambers aro rivals In every way to
somo of tllo best In Wind cave. Thorc Is
a strong current of nlr blowing out of the
main entrance, an at Wind cavo, and those
who havo been out from this city to ex
amine It claim that It Is another Wind
cave. The owners have built wagon roads
to the entrance and are employing several
men In opening up new passageways, The
character of the crystal work In all of
tho chambers Is different than either Wind
or Crystnl cave In that It Is finer In tex
ture. Tho thoory Is that this cave Is con
nected with Wind cavo.
