Information of the amalgamation of the
National Despatch Doe and the Or cat Eaat
ern Line, two catenates freight companies,
baa Just been announced, and In toll con
nection alao cornea mi of the promotion
of Charles F. Rogers of Omaha, agent of
the Great Eastern Line here, to be general
tent at Kansas City of the consolidated
organization, which la to be termed the
National Defpatch-Oreat Eastern Line via
Grand TrunX main llnei.
Both the consolidation and the resulting
promotion for Mr. Rogera took effect on
April 1, but no whisper wti heard of the
"matter until Saturday. Mr. Rogera leaves
next Wednesday to take charge of the Kan
a City office. Hie departure postponed
until that time In order that he may Intro-
' duce btre hla succeasor aa Omaha agsnt,
who will be 8. R. Stimson of Peoria, III.,
who has been agent for the Oreat Eastern
Line at that city.
The advancement accorded Mr. Rogers Is
not only one to a more important territory,
but carries' also substantial Increase of
salary. The numerous friends he has mads
during his eleven years' residence In Omaha
regret his departure, but rejoice at his good
fortune. It was In January, 1191, that Mr.
Rogers came to Omaha In the employ of
the Oreat Eaatern Line In a Subordinate
position. In August, 1892, he was made
agent here and has been In charge of the
local office since that time.
Affects Ofllelals and KmB loyes.
The consolidation of these two great
freight lines means the letting out of many
employes and officials of one or the other.
They were competitors the country over,
both having office In most of the principal
cities of the northern half of the United
States from coast to coast. Tbeae locali
ties were Oraaba, Kansas City, fit. Louis,
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston,
Portland, Me.; Montreal, Canada; Seattle.
San Francisco and Los Angeles. The amal
gamation will continue offices In all these
cities, and will probably branch out still
further now, though It has the available
territory well interwoven with a network
of agencies already.
Headquarters of both lines hava been In
Buffalo. C. A. Hayes, manager of the
National Despatch Line, will continue
aa manager of the consolidated company.
R: Dow, manager of the Oreat Eastern, has
resigned and left the railroad business. At
Kansaa City, meanwhile, 0. E. Everest ha
been agent for the Great Eastern. He now
retires and Mr. Rogers takes over the amal
gamated office.
In Omaha the office of the National De.
snatch Line has been discontinued end
James H. Hodges, who has been agent for
the system here, becomes traveling freight
' agent for the consolidated company with
headquarters at Omaha, under the new
agent, Mr. Stimson.
v New En rl t Furnishes Tourists.
"New England is the home of the tour
1st," aald Oorrltt L. Fort, assistant general
passenger agent of the Union Pacific rail
way, who has Just returned from a three
weeks' survey of the east, during which ha
vrstjed all the main Union Paclflo agencies
la the prominent cities. Mrs. Fort was
with him.
"I do not know whether it Is because
they are more thrifty and so have more
money to spend," continued Mr. Fort, "but
New Englandera certainly supply the large
proportion of the tourist material. The
acboolma'ama alone who come west from
there make up a! big total.
"Generally speaking, travel across the
continent this year will be Immense. All
our agents report prospects that are al
I most appalling, but we will manage to carry
all that come. Unusual Interest In Call
fornla seems to have been stimulated back
there, especially In New England.
"The colonist business proper from there
Is really very small, Although the rate la
taken advantage of extensively. It amounts
practically to a reduction of the eeoond-
clasa far, aa far aa the easterners are
concerned, for very few of them who travel
on U are legitimate colonists."

The promotion of Howard Elliott, for many
years general manager of tbe Burlington
lines In Missouri, to be second vice presi
dent of the Chicago, Burlington ft Qulncy
Railroad company, has aroused considerable
speculation at Burlington headquarters here
as to who will be' Mr. Elliott's successor.
Popular judgment teems to confer the
place to S. E. Crance, now general super
intendent of the Missouri lloes of tbe Bur
lington. Mr. Elliott Is a aon-ln-law of C.
B. Perkins, formerly president of the Bur
lington, and now one of the prominent di
rectors of the rosd, so his high standing
with tbe powers that be can easily be
gauged.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Council Presidency Becomes Subject of
General Speculation.
ADKINS IS IN THE FACE FOR IT
Proposes to gee If Democratic Ma
jority Overrides Preeedeat Treae
arer-F.leet Howe's Embarrass
ment Partially Relieved.
The organization of the new city council
Is being discussed on the streets a great
deal. In tbe past the custom has been to
name one of the holdover counellmen as
president. This year Adktn le the only hold
over member and he la being mentioned for
the place, but with a democratic majority
there seems to be some doubt about the
members agreeing to this. However, Ad
kins Is In the race. During his term Mr.
Adklns has presided at about as many
council meetings ss Mayor Kelly and no
fault was ever found with his decisions.
The slatemakers have It figured ont that If
Adklns Is not chosen president the choice
will go to William Queenan, a resident of
tbe Sixth ward. Democrats assert that
Queenan Is perfectly competent to occupy
the position of president of the council and
In the absence of the mayor would make
a conservative acting mayor. Myles Welsh
la slated for the position of president pro
tern. Of course thla slate may be broken
when It comes to organisation, but a meet
ing Is to be held to try and arrange mat
tere before the new council la eworn In.
Complaints about tbe methods pursued In
tbe counting of the votes In the Third,
Fourth and Fifth warda continue to be made
and It la likely that several contests will
be started. All klnda of rumors are afloat
regarding the lax methods of the eleotlon
boards In the wards mentioned and It Is as
serted .that if the ballots are counted In
court some radical changes In the figures In
tbe tally books will be made.
Calling; Warrants.
City Treasurer Koutsky Is preparing to
make two calls for warrants, one on tbe
school funds and the other on the city
funda. These calls will be made Just as
the expert completes the checking of the
books which probably will be on Sunday.
When the school warranta are called it
will practically leave this fund exhausted,
but the liquor license money will aoon be
coming In and aa fast as tbe licences are
granted by the council the money can be
turned Into the achool treasury. It will
take quite a portion of thia year'a license
money to pay the overlap in- the aohool
fund. The city funda will also be . very
low when the coming call Is made and tha
new council will have but little money
to spend until the 1902 levy is available.
Bonds Are Ready.
The Issue of $5,000 intersection paving
bonde which were purchased some weeks
ago by the State bank of Toledo, O., Is
ready for delivery and probably will be
turned over to a representative of the pur
chaser today. The signing of the issue of
$1,460 grading bonds for the alley between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth and F and
O atreeta la now going on and these will
be ready this afternoon. It Is understood
that the present council has given up the
Idea of trying to renew the $140,000 gen
eral indebtedness bonds.
Treaaarer Howe's Road.
Mention waa made In The Bee of yester
day of the possible difficulties Treasurer
elect Howe might have In arranging for a
surety bond. Yesterday afternoon the an
nouncement was made that a portion of
tbe difficulty had been overcome and that
Mr. Howe would be provided with a bond
In tbe aum required by eastern surety com
panles. The understanding is that the
bond companlea will Issue the bond aa de
sired and will leave the matter of desig
nating a city depository to the new coun
ell. This action on the part of the eurety
companlea will enable Mr. Howe to tako
charge of the office aa soon as the new
council can approve the bond.
Meeting; of City Council.
The city fathers met last night and al
lowed the monthly bills, aside from the
transaction of a lot of business of more or
less Importaace.
An ordinance was Introduced providing a
ten-year franchise to Julius K. Martin
John M. Lytle and Oeorge P. Moore for the
operation of a beat and power plant in
thla city. Tbe franchise provides that the
gentlemen named, their associates, sue
cessors or assigns shall provide a $10,000
bond to Indemnify the city against loss by
reason of damages during the construction
period.
Veto of the Bond Deal.
Mayor Kelly aubmltted the following veto
of tbe recent bond deal, which prevailed:
Gentlemen of 'the' Council: ' I,uherewth
return to your body without my approval
ordinance commlttee'a report of March 26.
1902, on bids for tho purchase of I140.0HO re

26, l.t, awarding the $140,000 renewal bonda
tn C. Hevln Olilfleld and directing tha
mayor to enter Into contract and deliver
said bonaa ana interest coupons to ins saia
C. Bevln OldflelU.
I do so for the reason that other bond
buyers have expressed themselves ss will
ing to pay more money ror me oonas,
rlaimlns that the time provided In tha no
tice of sale was not sufficient to warrant
them in maklnn unconditional offer aa re-
Sulred by snld notice. Mr. tloobler-- of
maha and Mrs Holmes of Chicago have
freely expresxed themselves on thts point.
It Is alao rumored that certain taxpayers
claim the sale Is not mads In the best in
terest of the city, while many others con
sider tne saie an extremely gooa one. Jt
is Drobable that the bonds cannot be aold
to better advantage, but In this, as In all
other matters of public concern, sufficient
time should be given Interested parties for
deliberate juagment ana action.

Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott returned
Friday night to present the eame play In
which they appeared here during their last
visit two seasons ago. Thla fact, however.
seemed to have little or no visible effect
upon the patronage accorded them, alnce
the theater was filled almost to Ita utmost
cspaclty by such a splendid audience aa
only artists of the same high standing in
the theatrical world as Mr. Ooodwln and
Miss Elliott are capable of attracting.
"When We Were Twenty-one," while prac
tically the same In theme, cannot be called
altogether an old play. For certala rsa
sons, prlnclpsl of which waa that It was
Mr. Goodwin's wish, the author has en
tirely rewritten the third act, and lnatead
of the rather offensive and much talked
about "supper club" scene the act now
showa the Interior of tbe "Firefly's" apart
ments. This scene has been so modified as
to remove tbe taint that it formerly gave
to the piece and while tbe change haa
weakened Ita dramatic strength, the sacri
fice has been made in such a good cause
that it Is entitled to praise rather than

Mr. Ooodwln looks younger and better n

himself and white his ambition to appear
In the classics Is commendable, he ahould
