RAILROAD SALE SET FOR TODAY
Postponement Is Merely to Aeeomnto-
dnte Those Who Mistook
the tlntr.
The foreclosure sale of the Omaha &
St. Louis railroad, which hnd been ad
vertised for yesterday noon, was post
poned until today at tho same hour. This
postponement was granted on an order Is
sued by Judge Thayer of St. Louis. A
dispatch announcing the postponement of
tho sale wns received here early yester
day morning.
Judgo Amos M. Thayer of the United
States circuit court said in St. Louis that
the postponement of the sale was simply
to accommodate those ,who were under the
Impression that the auction was to take
place Saturday. On July IT nobert ll
"Peclal master In chancery, ad
wero under the Impression that the date
had been mado the 12th, and It was ac
cordingly postponed In order to do Justice
o all.
Hobcrt II. Kern of St. Louis, special mas.
er In chancery, who will conduct the sale,
was In Council Bluffs for a short while
yesterday and will bo hero this morning
to carry out tho sale.
There Is considerable speculation ob to
who will bo tho purchaser of the road.
The general opinion among railroad men
n this city Is that the Wabash will mako
a strong bid to buy the road. John W.
Gates Is also expected to ho a bidder. To
railroad men the Wabash seems to them
he logical purchaser, as It has been oper
ating Its through trains between Omaha
and Sti Louis over tho road for several
years. At tho annual meeting of the
directors of tho Wabash a few days ago
n Toledo a deflnlto statement was mads
o the effect that It intended purchasing
tho Omaha & St. Louis nnd that it would
offer 13.000.000 for It. Whether tho Gates
crowd Is prepared to outbid this remains
o he seen. No bid less than J1.250.C(m
will be received. The Judgment of thb
Guaranty Trust company against tho road
s $2,553,000.
Master In Chancery Kern gavo it as his
opinion yesterday that tho Wabash would
be the purchaser, but ho was not prepared
to stato so definitely.
Judge McPherson of tne United Stater
court will be here this nftern-jsn to ratify
the sale.

MINING CASE GOES OVER
Ilrfmsc Secure , Contlntmncc In Salt
of Doyle Against
Hums.
The motion ot the defense for a continu
ance In the big mining suit of James Doylo
against James F. Burns, president of tho
Portland Gold Mining company, was sus
tained by Judgo Macy in the district court
yesterday morning and tho further hearing
of the celebrated case was put off until
Tuesday, November 12.
The date to which the case is continued
will bring II in the November term and It
will have to be tried to a new Jury and pos
sibly beforo another Judge. Tho November
term will be presided - over by Judge . K.
Green, but ho may Invite Judgo Macy to try
tho rinse, bs both the plaintiff and defend-
nrit yesterday expressed the wish that Judge
Macy would try ll. juugo macy nociineci j.o
make any promises, as he said ho did not
caro ito Intrench upon Judgo Green's term.
As Judge Macy Is now familiar with all tho
phaBe of tho big suit, It Is thought more
than likely Judge Green will request him to
hear It next month.
This continuance at tho request of tho
defendant, was granted by Judge Macy on
tho grounds that the amendment to tho pe
tition filed by Doyle Wednesday Bet up a
new causo of action and Introduced new
Issues in tho case, to defend which Burns
was not prepared at this time.
On the convening of court yesterday
morning the dofense filed a demurrer to the
amended petition of tho plaintiff, which wns
overruled by Judge Macy. The defense then
filed an answer to tho amended petition,
and on the showing made In this the court
granted the continuance until November 12.
Tho answer of Hums rovers twenty-five
pages of typewritten matter nnd contnins a
general denial of nil tho claims mado by
Doylo and tho testimony of his witnesses
who have so far been on the stand. It do
nlcs In tho first place that Burns entered
Into any prospecting agreement with John
O'Halre and Jeremiah 11. J. O'Drlscoll, but
that ho did enter Into one with O'Drlscoll
which was terminated February 2, 18!):!
While denying nny agreement with O'Halre,
It admits that O'Halre supplied money and
provisions and became Identified and Inter
ested In nil the lode mining claims dlscov
erod under Burns' agreement with O'Drls
coll. It denies that Burns over invited Doyle
to go prospecting with htm In the Cripple
Creek district. It also denies thnt Burns and
Doylo ever owned anything toegther except
tho Professor Grubbs and Portland claims,
As to.the Tldnl Wave, Devil's Own and Bob
tail No. 2 claims, to which Doyle specifi
cally refers In his amended petition, It Is
asserted in tho answer that these claims
were located, surveyed, developed, recorded
patented and tho title defended by and at
the sole expense of Burns, and that Doyle
did not. nor has he offered nt any time, to
pay or bear the burdeu and expense or any
part thereof.
The answer also sets up a new issuo by
contending that the claim of Doylo as
amended demands equities and right of ac
tion against Burns which wero long since
forfeited by Uovle bv laches nnd abandoned'
by acquiescence
In granting tho continuance the court or
dered that the costs of this term abide the
final determination of the suit, but subject
to a motion for relaxation.
At the trial In November the testimony
of those witnesses who have been ou the
tnnd can be taken by deposition, hut It Is
understood that Doylo will have them all
here ngaln to testify personally.
All of the parties interested In tho case
left for thnlr homes In Colorndo last even
ing. Now that the Doyle-Burns suit Is out of
the way for this term. Judgo Macy will take
up the criminal docket Monday, the first
cae for trial being that of Charles Jones
and Robert Stephenson, charged with high
way robbery.
Judgo Thorncll Is expected hero Tuesday,
when he will assist Judge Macy by trying
the cases still pending on the civil calendar.
The caso against J. N. Casady, Jr., was by
agreement continued until next term.
Tho November term will open on Novem
ber fi and the trial Jury will bo summoned
for November 12, tho date set for the Doyle
Burns case, which it Is expected will occupy
four weeks of tho term.

The Iowa supremo court decided again to

tniiufil Position,
MARENGO. In., Oct. 11. (Special.)
Hon. John Hcrrlott of the Ninth district.
cx-stato treasurer nnd present republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, opened
tho campaign here this evening In an ad-
rcss In which ho briefly reviewed tho
history of the stale as It relates to Its
political control nnd stnlcd clearly his well
known vlows on state and national ques
tions. Tho real feature of his address, aside
from his discussion of tho temperance
question, tariff nnd reciprocity and his de
nunciation of present methods, of having tho
stato printing and binding done, was his
elaborate discussion of the taxation ques
tion, especially of tho method of assessing
railroads In the state.
Mr. Hcrrlott called attention to tho fact
that tho republican state platform, on
which ho was nominated against bitter op
position, declares for reform In this matter
and that twenty-live republican county con-
entlons Instructed their candidates for the
legislature to work for reform of the laws
relating to assessments of corporate prop
erty.
Ho takes strong ground In favor of treat
ing corporate property like other property
and securing an assessment on actual
value, to bo determined by some fair and
fixed rule, Instead of leaving the assessment
to the discretion of state officials. On this
Bubject Mr. Hcrrlott said'
The objections made ntmlnxt the assess-
niontn are. In eenernl. two. First, tliero
Is no plan or system pursued, lnsteid,
favoritism nnd serious Inequalities nijenr
In the assessments. Second, railroad prop
erty Is not valued ns high an tho code re

evidently not secured by our jiresent methoj

If we tnke the market vuluo of tne out

Inequalities existing. The snme Is true If
we take the "cost nf the jiroperty" or tho
assets of tlie roads as reported annually
to "Poor's Manual. On former occasions
1 liuve exhibited the Incdunlltlcs enmiiutcd
on these bases and I need not repeat them
here. Moreover, wo may take any of tliese

Kquaiuy cannot no nttiuncn unless wo
have a definite stntlltorv basis for nse s-

measuro ono road with a ynrd stlCK ami
Its rival with a foot rule we work an obv'
ous Injustice. We should lake one or the
other nnd apply It throughout. A unit rul"
is, tlieretore, nnsniuieiy necessary.
tTiilecM we ndont a lint rate mion dlvl

our constitution, mny be difficult, wo arn
forced to consider assessing ratiroaiis in onn

from their net earnings or" from the nin'rket
vnluo of their stocks nnd bonds. The latter
In n measure Is the samo as .the forme
tor the vnluc of stocks nnd bonds depends
upon enrnlngs, nctual or prospect I ve. My
own Judgment Is that net enrnlngs Is the
fairest and most Hiitisrnctory nnsis.
In conclusion. Mr. Herrlott says that if
he shall bo elected to tho presidency ot

not prove an obstruction to its enactment.

THE POPULAR WOMAN.
The Kind That Men Admire.
Men ndmlrc i prettj face nnd a pood flpuro, but sooner or later learn that
the happy womnn, that contented one Is most ci all to be admired.
Those troubled with falntlnp spells, Irregularity, nervous Irritnblllty,
backache, the blues and that dreadful bearing down fooling cannot hope to be
happy, and advancement In cither home or soclalllfe Is impossible.
It Is clearly shown In theyounR lndy's letter which follows that Lyriiu E.

men i and when one considers thnt Mist Murphy's letter is only ono of the count
less hundreds which wo are continually publishing In tho newspapers of tMs
country, tho preat virtue of Mrs. I'inhham's medicine nitiFt be ndmitted by nil ;
and for tho absolute cure of nil kinds of fenmlo ills no fcubstltuto can possibly
take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they po

"Deati Mitfl. Pinkiiam: For thrco years 1 suffered with benrinff
down pins, backache, liecnino nervous and hysterical and could --not
enjoy life as other young women did. A lady friend who had suffered'
Kiinilarly and been cured, suggested that I try Lyriiiv E. lMn1c1mm Vr-etublc-
Compound. I had little faith in it, but novcrthclPHS T gave it a
trial, and I ain glad that I did. I kept getting better gradually nnd my
pains left me and within four months I wns a well woman. This is a
year ago and I havo never hnd any trouble since. I wish all suffering
women know of your valuable medicine. Yours very truly, Makuaiu
etta Muhi'hy, 2703 Sec. Ave., Seattle, Wash."
Two riore Qrateful Letters.
" Deau Mrs. Pinkiiam : I feel it
my duty to write you in regard to
your valuable medicine. I have been
troubled with falling of tho womb
aim inuammatlon of the ovaries, and
was so bad I could hardly walk across
the floor. The doctors said it was
impossible for me to fjet' well unless I
had an operation, but this J would
not listen to. Having rend so much
about Lydla E. Pinkhaiu'N Vcg
Otnhlo Compound 1 made up my
mind to rive it u trial, and It has
done wonders for me. I commenced
to feel better from. tho first dose, and'
touay I am a well, healthy girl.
" Hoping that your Vegetable
Compound will relieve other sufferers
!s it dld.ine, and thanking you for re
storing my health, I remain, Miss

" Ukaii Mns. PritnAM : I have
been greatly benefited by tho use of
your medicine. I was troubled with
a pain in my side and any little un
usual thing would almost prostrate
mo I was so nervous ; I was so wenk
I could not do my work ; menstrua
tion was very scanty. I tried med
icines for my nerves, also kidnev and
liver medicine, but nothing dfd nio
any good. I then concluded to try
tydiii E. rinklininVs Vegctablo
Compound. I took three bottles
of it. and one box of your Liver I'ills,
and I have not been sick since. That
was three years ago. and I have given
birth to two children since then, and
do all my housework for a family of
six." Mits.. John Moi.ek, IUllsboro,
