Our company will not and no other com
pany ran afford to accept tho suburban
railway franchise an drawn by tho special
counsel for the county commissioners," said
tb0 ftltornoy for tho Omaha Suburban Rail
way nnd Traction company yesterday.
"As n matter of fact," ho continued, "It
Is no franchise at all; It Is merely pormls
lon to make plats and survoys. It pro
vides that plats nnd surveys of the proposed
rnllway lines must bo filed with the county
board within six months nnd that If these
flats nnd surveys nre not satisfactory to
the board (hen the franchise la forfeited.
Tho prpposed contract does not allow the
company n, second chnnco to file acceptable
plats nnd surveys.
"Tho county board's franchise prohibits
tho company from building on any highway
whoro Uio tracks or appliances of nny othtr
street railway exist. Now, what Is to pre
vent tho Omaha Stroot Hallway company
from placing Its appliances on every road
way mo may want to uso for nn entrance to
th city T
"Another serious objection to tho pro
posed franchise Is tho requirement to build
ten miles of each lino of tho new system
nithln n year. Them nro innny thlngn
which might hnppen to malto such work Im
possible In so short n period of time. Tho
two years granted for the completion of tho
entire system Is iiIbo too short n period.
"Thin, the proposed franchise Is only for
twenty-flvo years nnd It Is extremely doubt
ful Hint thn property could he put on a
pnylng basis In that time. Fifty years Is
n short enough term for the contract to
run.
"It would bo recklessness to Invest money
In a street railway under such terms ns
nr offered by tho county board nnd It Is
entirely safe to say that no company will
ncpept the. franchlso In anything llko Its
present totm,"

JUSTICE
Is portrayed as a woman,
yet her sex might complain
that they get scant benefit
of her powers. There is
little justice, it would seem,
in the suffering that many
women undergo mouth after
month.
Justice nets upon the
legal maxim that ignor
ance of the law cannot be
pleaded in mitigation of
puujshmcnt. It is ignorance
which causes so much
womanly suffering. Ignor
ance of the requirements cf
womanly health ; ignorance
on the part of those who
attempt to cure and fail,
and ignorance of the fact
that Dr Tierce's Favorite
Prescription cures womanly
diseases. It establishes
regularity, dries weakening
drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration nnd cures
female weakness.

Opened to Trnnie.
If nature ami good fortune combine to
speed tho work the great Aspen tunnel
which the Union Pacific Is building In Wyo
ming may bo completed, opened, tracked
nnd ready for trnfllc In ten weeks. Chle
Engineer Horry Is very cautious In prog
nosticating anything concerning tho future
of Aspen tunnel. He laid:
"Wo Intend to open the tunnel this year,
but how long It will bo beforo that Is ac
complished, whether two months or four,
depends upon n myriad of things. If wo
should striko soft, easily-worked rock tho
remainder of tho way that would facilitate
things greatly. If It Is tough nud of grent
reslstnnco tho work will bo retnrded. Thcro
nre many other conditions which enter into
tho ch,ii'.ces for an enrly completion, such
ns dlfllcultles with tho Inner nrehlng, nccl
dents to machinery, etc.. nnd In fact you
ennnot tell how long It will take to finish
n tunnel by calculating on tho tlmo It has
taken to get n certain distance.''
It was further learned from Mr. nerry
that all but 000 feet of tho 5,000 feet of the
tunnel's projected length Is now completed,
po that 200 yards of rock Is all thnt standi
between tho workmen nnd tho other side
of the mountain. When that Is finally
blasted nnd bored nnd hewn nway It will
remain but to run tho track through, which
will nmount to nothing nt ull compared
with tho previous work.
Everything Is now In readiness outside
tho tunnel at cither end. The trnck Is now
nltncst up to the entrance both placcj nnd
will be thero by tomorrow. So only n
mile nnd n quarter more of trnckngo will
bo necessary to complete tho lino of rail
way. Stories of vnst finds of oil during the
Journey through the mountain have been
circuited, but Mr. Horry's stntemcnt
coucrrnlng that featuro puts n quietus to
tho rumors of rich finds, He said that the
oil In Aspen tunnel amounted to nothing nt
nil so fnr na any wealth or value wns

Tho meeting was called to order by Mr.

by Rev. 11. M. Stevenson of the Second
Prcsbytcrlnn church. The Knox Presby

supplying music.
Mr. Smith then made n short statement
In which ho said that the meeting -was not

Ilurgcss, was relieved by Captain Grant,
who brought n son with him ns nn assist
ant. Captain Burgess had n daughter named
Abby, who for many years had helped him
In tho care of tho lights nnd was per
fectly versid In everything pertaining to
them. During ono winter, when Captain
Durgcss had gone over to Matlnlcus Island
for buppllcs, a scvero storm sprang up, and
lasted so long thnt for several weeks ho was
unable to get back. His wife was an In
valid, nnd during this trying period Abby,
thon a more slip of a girl, not only tended
tho lights but looked after tho comfort
of her Invalid mother and several younger
brothers and sisters, cheering them up
dining tho Btormy days nnd nights.
When Captain nrant and his son catno
to tho rock Captain Uurgcss left his
daughter there to assist tho newcomers
nwhllo nnd Instruct them rognrdlng certain
peculiarities of the lights. Perhaps It is
not nt all st range that the younger Grant
proved n vry apt pupil, for Miss Abby
wns a very attractlvo teacher so attrac
tive, In fact, that .vhen her pupil had
learned to take care of tho lights ho per
suaded her to allow him to tako care of her
.'or tho -est of her life, a proposition lo
which oho nsscnted. Including tho eight
years she already had been on tho rock
nnd tho subsequent period sho remained
thero with her husband, It was her home
altogether for twenty-two years.
Tho most famous llghthouso on tho
Ametlcnn const s that on Mlnot's Ledgo,

setts. It Is tho American Eddystone, for
Mlnot's Ledge llghthouso rises right out
of tho sea. The rock which forms Its foun
dation Is entirely submerged, and In n
northeasterly fctorm the lighthouse Is abso
lutely exposed to tho full force of the
Atlnntlc ocean. Tho first llghthouso which
was erected on tho slto, tn 1818, was built
on Iron screw ptlcB, and In a furious
storm which burst over tho coast In 1S51
It was overthrown and tho two keepora
on It perished. This was tho greatest
tragedy in tho history of the American
lighthouse administration. Tho present
granite structure was begun In 1855 and
finished In 1660. Owing to tho exposure
of the slto work could bo carried on thcro
only during tho summer, and oven then
thoro wrro two summers whon only 130
working hours could be had. I spent a
week ono winter on Mlnot's Ledgo, and tho
rovorboratlons of tho waves against tho
lighthouse 'during n storm were terrific.
However, life on Mlnot's Ledgo Is agree

better known ns tho Clark line, of which
Mr. Kerens Is first vice president, says tho
St. Louis Olobe-Democrat. Meetings were
hold In Salt Lake and California, Mr.
Kerens snys that the United States court
decision at Cm son City was favorable to
Senator Clark, because the Judge refused
to grant the Injunction prayed for by tho
Oregon Short Line, or Hnrrlmnn Interest,
down through llox canyon, or better known
In Utah and Nevada ns Mendow valley
wash, a difficult stretch of country of sixty
miles' distance, In which there Is ton or
more miles of gorge nnd only room for
one railroad. Tho forty miles of old grodo
constructed by tho Union Pacific ten years
ago, which was abandoned at tho tlmo of
tho Paring failure, part of which was lnld
with rails, had been taken up nnd the
taxes levied by Lincoln county, Nevada,
through which this grade passes, wore de
linquent for the whole of tho time, pay

court granted the Hnrrlmnn Interest n pre

merits In September next. Judge Hnwicy
held thnt affirmative action on the part
of tho stalo of Nevada, declaring forfeit
ure, was necessary, but this would come
up at tho trial In which Lincoln county
would he a pnrty. The Clark Interest holds
th? tnx titles.

purpose to build n first-class railroad, a
low-grado line, ns straight ns the topo.
grnphy of the country will admit, without
any stint or limit upon tho cost of con

publicly In San Francisco last week that
ho had n pride In creating n transportation
lino. Ho had no ambition to ucqulro a
rallrond by purchase. The dlstnnco from
Snlt Lake to Snn Pedro will be about S00
miles, partly through n mineral country.
It Is not Improbable, Mr. Kerens snys, that
tho line mny bo extended to tho Northern
Pacific, tho Hill Interest, near tho Cann

rond through the lutcrmountaln states.
Tho fifty miles of tho old Los Angeles
Terminal railroad, which Senator Clark ac
quired from the St. Louis people, has been
reconstructed with sevonty-flvc-pound steel
rails nnd now equipment provided. One
thousnnd feet of wharf nt San Pedro has
been ndded to accommodate tho Hawaiian
trade that has recently sprung up from
that port. This Is a growing trade, and Is
tho nucleus that stimulates tho proposed
steamship line to ply from that port to
Honolulu and the Orient nnd tho Philip

will be made up of a consolidation of
steamship companies nnd lndlvidunl ocean
