rtclorii CHICAGO, Nor. 29. The Icne of the
Burlington system to the ChtcSKO, Uur
llnnton & Qulncy Railway company for a
terra of fi&J years woi consummated at
flurllogton today, when paper In tho case
were filed there,
President Harris signed the lease, both
for tho Chicago, Durllngton & Qulncy Rail
road company and for the Chicago, Ilur
llngton & Qulncy Railway company, as he
In president of both corporations. A meet
ing ot the latter company was held re
cently and the entire official start of the
Chicago, Durllngton & Qulncy Railroad
company was made the official staff of the
Chicago, Birllngton & Qulncy Railway com
pany. As a result the officers of the rail
road company, when they signed the lease,
simply leased to themselves, as officers of
the railway company,, all tho lines ot tho
Durllngton system.
The $109,000,000 Iowa corporation was
founded for the purpose ef making a new.
bond Issue to take tht place of the va
rious bonds now outstanding against the
various portions of the system and which
will begin to fall due In 150.
IIURLINCITON, la., Nov, 29. (Special Tel
egram.) The situation In Burlington, so
far as tho new Durllngton Hallway com
pany Is concerned, Is In a state of statu
quo. The statement that a IfAie of the
old lines by the new company has been
filed lo Burlington Is positively denied by
an official who ought to know. However,
things aro getting rlpo for closing up the
perplexing details of the new organization.
An adjourned meeting ot the stockholders
of the new company will be held In' Rur
llngton Monday, at which time In all prob
ability the present board will be Increased
from five to eleven and the permanent
board of dlicctors chosen. The election of
officers will follow a few days later.
Oeorgo D. Harris, 'president of the old
company, will be elected president of the
new, and In all probability the other onV
cers will be about tho same as In the old
company. The old company will not dis
solve, but will continue to have an ex
istence, there being many financial and
legal Interest which arise under Its man
agement of the Burlington road which must
be looked after. It Is not believed there
will bo any material chango In the present
conduct of the Burlington system. The fact
that It Is now spending over $2,000,000 In
improving lis Iowa lines shows the affairs
of the company will continue as heretofore.
DIRECTOR SCHIFF RESIGNS

a Series,
NEW YORK. Nov. 29. The Evening Post
printed the following today: "Jacob II.
Srhlff has resigned as a director ot the
Oreat Northern railway. This Is the first
of the resignations ot directors holding
seats inf two or more of the northwestern
railway directorates to be announced, and
It Is believed It Is to b followed by stll
others. It was' reported In Wall street t'o
nay that Mr. Hchlff had resigned as r
director of tbe Northern .Securities com

ably Arose from his retirement from the
Oreat Northern railway board, which was
not, generally known In Wall street to

Tho Evening Post Also said today that It
was believed to be only a matter of time
and of convenience when tbe resignations ot
R. H. Harrlman nnd J. J. Hill from the

Street Truffle.
The rturllnston took advantago of the
Thanksgiving quiet which prevailed by ptit
tlug a large gang of trackmen at work In
tbe" disputed territory. They commenced
at an early morning hour to Iny a track
between Eighth and Ninth streets In tho
alley south of Harney street and dfd not
ceaso until It waaa completed to the North
western track on 'the west side of Eighth
street.
PrevIouly the Burlington had secured
permission from tho council to lny a track
In this alley from Eighth to Tenth fctrccta
and the work had been done from the cast
lino of Ninth street to tho can't Kno ot
Tenth street. A cut of from four to eight
feet was then made between Nlntli and
Eighth, but the work of tracklaylng was
hung up by a resolution of tho council
directing that All work In tbe disputed ter
ritory bo stopped until a satisfactory set
tlement could ba effected.
The Burlington now has an alley track
two blocks long which Is worthless until a
connection can ho made with Its track on
Eighth street. This cannot be dono Until a
crossing Is made over tho Northwcstcrn's
track. Likewise the Northwestern's Eighth
street track south ot Farnam Is ot no me
until a crossing over tho Burlington's alley
tracks can be made. Northwestern officials
ray they will make no move until tlie
council passes the necessary ordinance.
Yesterday All was quiet In tho disputed
territory. The Burlington had taken the
usual precaution to derail a car where tho
Northwestern desires to cross, but the
watchmen of the rival roads swapped to'-1
bacco and stories with the usual frtcndlt-
ess. The "armed forces," about 'which so
much has been printed, were noticeably nb-
ent.
More Australian 31 if.
A eecond large consignment. Australian-
British mall, consisting ot 418 sacks, passed
through Omaha Thursday enroiitc cast.
The Union Pacific took It to Council' Bluffs"
nd made the transfer to the Burlington at
45 p. m. Tbe Burlington carried the
mall to Chicago and transferred It to the
Lake Shore, which, In turn, will deliver It
to tho Now York Central. The mall left
San Francisco Monday and followed the
usual transcontinental fast mall rout?,
hlch has proven to hi 1v davs faster be
tween Sidney and London than tho old
Suez canal route. The consignment Is due
In Now York Saturday In time to catch the
steamer for Queenstown.
The first consignment ot one carload'
passerrthrough Omaha on September 5 and
was tho only lot of British government
mall eyer diverted from tho Suez canal
route. Two weeks ago another consign
ment, consisting of but a dozen pouches,
passed through and made record time to
London. If the present shipment does ns
well it Is considered by railroad officials
tbat the American route will be officially
designated for carrying the Australian-
British mall.
Union Paclfle Time Schedule. ,
Tho time table showing the winter
Chedules ot the Union Pacific' and Its pro
prietary lines, the Oregon Short Line; the
Oregon Railroad & Navigatlon.company and
the Southern Pacific, has Just been Issued
by tbe passenger department. In many
ways it is very different from those here
tofore Issued. It gives the time schedules
of all four roads In both main and branch
lines and has numerous now maps showing
an tbe different routes embraced by the
system. The cover is done In a bright red
and 'a deep blue which makes the folder
conspicuous wherever placed.
TalklnR Fast Trnln.
A meeting of the Chlcago-St. Paul and
Chicago-Omaha passenger officials will bo
held at Chicago, next Monday to again take
up the matter ef fast time between these
cities, rne weaK roaua nave decided to
make an excess fare proposition to apply
between Chicago and the Twin Cities, which
will be met by a proposal to consider ox
cess fares in connection with tbo train
service between Chicago and Omaha and be
tween Chicago and Kansas City. In other
words, the strong roads will not favor
charging excess fares between Chicago and
tbe Twin Cities unless tbe principle Is an-
piled to the other gateways In which boy
are interested. They tako the position that
the residents of St. Paul and Minneapolis
have an equal right' with the residents ot
Omaha and Kansas City to fast service and
luxurious equipment. Pending a final set
tlement ot tho question the Northwestern
and the Milwaukee are keeping up their fast
service between Chicago and tho Twin
Cities, while tbe Northwestern and tbe Rock
Island aro doing likewise between Chicago
and Omaba.
Pass Agrrrmrnt Adopted.
The Chicago pass agreement for 190
with some slight modifications, was adopted
ai a recent meeting or tne presidents ot tbe
Colorado lines, at which all were rep
resented. The Intent of the agreement Is
to prohibit as far as possible the Issuance
of free transportation, which Is understood
to Include not only annual and time passes.
but trip passes, trip tickets, mileage and ail
forms of free or reduced transportation to
influence routing business. The Colorado
lines have signified their intention ot ad
hering to the agreement In tbe strictest
measure.
No Increase In Mileage.
Members of the Interchangeable mileage
bureau of the western roads met In Chicago
recently and made another effort to. .make.
an Increase in the mileage to be- traveled
irom s.ooo to 3,000 roues perore a rebate is
allowed, The result was about tho same as
at previous meetings. A majority of the
roads voted for tbe proposition, but a tew
voted against or abstained from voting,
This amounts to a defeat, as tbe unanlmout
consent of all roads Is necessary before
change can be made. Merchants and trav
elers are opposed to .the change, as many
of them would be unable to travel 3,000
miles within tbe stipulated time.
To lrei-nt Contnaion.
Renewed efforts are helnz mad by the
Travelers' Protective association to prevail
upon the railroads to separate consumptives
from the other passengers. The demand for
more rigid hygienic measures on passenger
trains has been urged mildly for years. It
Is generally admitted that strict measures
are necesiary, b,ut ,the remedy Is not easy
though the Pullman company Is now adopt
Ing scientific regulations In the south and
west." Every car Is fumigated at the end
of each trip and If a berth Is found to hav
been occupied by a person sufforlng from
contagious disease the bedding Is destroyed
The officials say they can do no more than
this.
The two companies ot guards wero n
duty again last night. The Burlington guard
at tho alley next to Farnam street had
been Increased by several men. In the fort
one Hock south, were the three men doing
duty for the Northwestern. A man -from
each party constantly walked his beat and
anyone passing down Eighth street was
cither requested to state his , business or
was shadowed until both guards hsd been
ssscd.

Tom and Jerry, who made their debut
Thursday, appearing as If by maglo upon
the bar of almost every saloon In the city,
were responsible for several picturesque
runks In police court yesterday. Den
is McCarthy, who was chorged with being
lrunk and disorderly, had this to say to the
Judge:
"I always take my whisky straight, your
onor, hut yesterday w Sunday, and"
"Thanksgiving," corrected his pal. nudg
ing htm.
"And I ran foul of Tom and Jerry, and
you know tho rest."
But his honbr didn't know tho rest, nor
as he acquainted with Tom and Jerry,
nd ho said so.
"Tom and Jerry Is a drink," continued
Dennis, "made of the yolks of eggs, mixed
Ith powdered sugar. This Is kept In a big
bowl on the bur, with a lot of little mugs,
round It. When you call for it the bar
tender scoops some" of this dope into a mug,
pours In some hot watej-, some rum, some
whisky and sprinkles a little" nutmeg over
the top, ami after you've taken tho second
you don't know whether Its Thanksgiving
or Arbor day, and you .don't care,"
Tho court seemed surprised. He evi
dently thought Tom and Jerry a pair of
convivial outlaws. Dennis was fined S3
nd coats.
John C. Rest also pleaded a too Intlmalo
cquaintance with Tom and Jerry and he
as required to contribute Si and costs to
the city school fund.
Charles Kitchen was charged with being
rnnk nnd disorderly and with raising a
disturbance In a restaurant on Sixteenth
treat, near Daveuport.
"I went In and called for half a young
turkey," said he, "and told them I .wanted
It stuffed with oyster dressing, and when
my order came Instead of being turkey It
as half a Wild goose. They'd tried to
aim off ii skinny old buzzard of a gooso on
ir.c. I told the waiter I wouldn't pay for It
nd when he made a pass at me I let fly with
cup, and It went through the window."
He was fined S5 and costs, which was the
most expensive Thanksgiving dinner he'd
ever eaten, but as real turkey wa served
at tho city Jail yesterday, It was perhaps
orth the money.
Frank' Duffy And Barton Hllea were each
fined SI nnd 'costs for being drunk and too
andy with their rights. They had fought
over the possfeslbn of the winning number
In a turkey raffle.
Joe Mlko had been picked up by an officer
while trying to enhanco an already com
modious Jag by begging on the street nnd
George Lund had been hauled up out of an
nrcaway, where he had crawled to sleep off
drunk that had taken htm three days to

South Omaha saloonkeeper, to recover $6,000
for .Injuries which her husband, Thomas
Fitzgerald, Is said to have sustained In the
saloon ot the defendant. The case Is now

that prior to November 1, 1000, she went
to Winkler's saloon many times and warned
the proprietor and his employes not to sell
her husband liquor, because he was an
habitual drunkard, November 1 or last

nnd Is said to have bought so much liquor
that he lost control ot himself. While In
this Condition he fell and sustained Injuries
which are-said-to have incapacitated him

internal Injuries are said to be such that
the man will -not be" able to support his

entire twelve miles. It has secured tho
title to the old grade made by thn Milwau
kee and this will be used unless the surveys
now being made demonstrate tbat It I ad-
Isahlo to chango the line In some places.
As It lies In a Valley, Is straight and In
volves practically no grades, It Is alto
gether likely that no changes will be made.'

In tbls connection It Is nlso announced
that the Elkhorn has decided to extend the
line on to Butte. In noyd county. It had
been supposed that ultimately the Elkhorn
would do this, but the generally accepted
line was to extend west from Verdigris. The
building to Niobrara changes this plan, as I
better grades can bo secured from there by
crossing tbo Niobrara river at Its mouth,
extending up the valley ot the Missouri to
the mouth of Ponca creek and up this vol-
ey to Butte.
This extension Is one of great Importuned
ColdinChest
, VXllVaCiCl JUL the-great .progress in medi
cal science, but there hasn' been so much progress
after all. The doctors have not been able to improve
on many of the simple old remedies used during the last
hundred years. Every mother knows that old-fashioned
s,weet oil is a good
thing to rub on the
nose, throat and
chest for a cold,
and a doctor can't
prescribe anything
better or safer ex
cept Omega Oil.
This Oil does all
that sweet oil can
do, and besides that
it contains other
ingredients that
check and cure a
cold in a wonder
fully short time.
It can be used on
children with per
fect safety, as it
does not blister.
A bottle in the
house all the
