On ths two section of a special train
that stood at the Union nation front 8:15

were 401 soldiers of the Ninth infantry.
U. S. A., several officer' wive and two

Bamar. When the section crept across the
bridge there were only 400 soldiers aboard.
for Major J. C. Irvine had been taken off at
the station, suffering with acute rheuma
tism, and sent In sn ambulance to Clarkson
hospital, where he will remain until he
regslns the use of his crippled member.
The khakl-clad veteran who rushed to
the restaurant for supper while their regi

ceeded by promotion Colonel Liscum when
the latter was killed at Tien Tsln, wss
being formally received by General John
C. Batea, commander of the Department of
the Missouri, and his sides. Captain W. M.
Wright and Lieutenant V. L. Willa, showed
little th worse for the campaigning of the
last few years that ha been so rigorous
and so brilliant a to honorably sustain
the magnificent record that this regiment
established long ago. They were hungry
and they were four month behind In pay,
but they were happy. They left Bamar in
April. Just a little too early for the pay
master's visit; they left Manila In May,
again too early for the paymaster, who dis
gorge every two months, and they left
Frisco last Friday, still without money.
a their paper were at Manila. But they
know the money la coming and they have
pleasures ahead that keep their minds busy,
for they are going back to their old quar
ters.
, In the first section of six freight cars,
three tourist sleeper for th soldier and
two Pullmans for come of the officers and
their wives, were Companies A, C and D,
going to Fort Niagara. In th second sec
tion, made up of five soldiers' sleepers,
two Pullmans snd a freight car, were Com
panies, E, F. O. H, L. M and K, going to
Madison barracks, near Brooklyn, N. Y.
Company I Is already there and Company
B Is still at Pekln.
They return real heroes, for It was the
Ninth ..that furnished Gal via Titus, the
Iowa boy who was first to scale the walls
of Pekln; It was the Ninth that had earlier
done splendid service In Cubs and It waa
a company of the Ninth that endured the
horrors of a Filipino massacre.
On the train were eight men who wer
with Company C when It was so suddenly
and Inhumanely attacked at Balangtga. On
of these eight waa Clifford M. Mumby, first
sergeant, who said last night:
"The people who are creating all this
discussion of the water cure forget the cir
cumstances that fired the soldiers on tbe
Islands with, a determluation to apprehend
the guilty natives. While we were at
breakfast on the morning of September 23
a native captain of police treacherously
grabbed the gun from the shoulder of
sentry No. 1 and Bred a signal that brought
from the neighboring bushes between 400
and 500 natives, who shot, barxed and
butchered before we could reach our guna
In the barracks. Wa fought our way through
them with clubs, stone and case knives.
and when w finally reached the guns
forty-eight of our men were dead, twenty
two wounded and only four uninjured. Of
th wounded twelve were able to firs and
between u we managed to fight back those
howling fiend, get the living Into boats
and escape. I was one of those who were
sent back later to Identify the dead and
Such awful work I never dreamed of. Those
dusky devil had cut our helpless dead to
pieces, hacked their heads off, thrust por
tions of their person Into th . gaping
mouths, rubbed Jam Into the wounds. With
this known snd with every native feigning
Ignorance, I It so strange that the enraged
comrades of the dead soldiers resorted to
vigorous snd perhaps rigorous measures to
make the native divulge the name of the
leaden? The so-called water cure la not
dangerous, nor Is It agonising, and Its most
salutary effect Is the fright It gives the
ratlent."
In an ambush Company E lost twelve
men and every company In the regiment
has contributed sometime to the history of
recent wsrfare.
A a result of the Balanglga massacre
Pedro Belanuevava. who Isn't nearly a
long a his name and Is 15 years old. will
receive an Eng lsh tchool'ng in some prlvat
institution in Brooklyn at the expense of
Company C. Whan the company had fought
It way to the barracks the members found
this little chap Inside guarding the guna
for them like the most loyal of Americans
and they won't forget It. The other na
tive boy Is Pedro Pruson. whom Captain
Burt proposes to educate. He Is aa dusky
as the other Pedro and Just as keen, but

"Oxydonor and "Ozyareaor" Take I s
Time of Two Federal
Coart Jadgts.
An Iowa snd Nebraska Judge, both of the
United States circuit court, sat together In
a federal court room Monday over two cases
which sre exactly similar, but one of which
spplies In Iowa and ths other In Nebraska.
To save unnecessary delay and red tape In
the distribution of Justice Judge McPherson
and Judge Munger bunched tbe cases and
the decision which they reached late Mon
day afternoon will be filed at Des Moines
today, as It was in Omaha yesterday.
Tbe matter In litigation blngea on the
nam "oxydonor," a patent medical device
put on th market by the Anlmarlum com
pany of New York City. From her ia be
ing sold by E. L. Moses "Oxygenor," an
other device, similar In appearance and In
name. G. W. Fillooa sells the same thing
in Iowa. Th Anlmarlum people say -that
tbe "Oxygenor" folks put out their article
on ths strength of th reputation which
"Oxydonor" had gained and are selling It
successfully on th similarity of nam and
looks. They want the "Oxygenor" men pro
hibited from using either name or selling
either article, and wish them to account for
all profits so far.
Defendants maintained that auch a propo
sition wa preposterous and asked that they
be discharged from under it. Th double
header court beard argument all day on
tbla point, and finally overruled the plea of
Moses and Fllloon that th Anlmarlum
plaintiffs bs thrown over tbe transom and
allowed the plaintiffs time in which to

NEW LINE INTO MISSOURI
Prospesta for Eailrsad from Omaha Direct
to Tarkio, Missouri.
WEALTHY FARMER IS PUSHING PLANS
Makes Proposition to Famish Road
bed Free to Iowa Company
Which Proposes to Balld
from Des Moines.
A new railroad from Omaha Into north
western Missouri, with connections to Des
Moines, la., Is one of the things which Is
being talked of now. The projector of
this line, according to current report, Is
David Rankin, the wealthy farmer and
tockralaer of Tarkio, Mo. Mr. Rankin,
with hi son, William Rankin, was in
Omaha several day last week and hsd a
conference with the local representative
of tbe company which has projected a line
of road from Des Moines to Blanchard,
Ia. His object In this visit was to have
the company extend that line to Tarkio,
where It would Join the line contemplated
by Mr. Rankin from Omaha to that point.
He is said to have assured tha representa
tive of the Iowa company that If his
proposition met favorable treatment at the
hands of the company be would put a
large number of horses to work on ths
right-of-way of the new road and give tbe
company a graded roadbed without expenso
to It.
"Then," he said, "I will begin work on
the line from Omaha to Tarkio. I have
been thinking of this matter for several
months and have submitted tbe proposition
to others who have some money and ths
arrangement 1 complete for the sale of
the bonds necessary to build the line. The
preliminary survey runs through Council
Bluffs, Glenwood, Tabor, Sidney and River
ton to the state line and then by air line
to Tarkio. I would start to work imme
diately, but the partlea who have promised
to take the bond have not given guaranty
for tbe fulfillment' of their contract and I
desire no hitch In the proceeding after
the work I started."
David Rankin 1 one of th heaviest
buyers for feeding on the South Omaha
market, having one or more buyer here
during the feeding season and making
many trlpa to the market himself during
the year. His farm near Tarkio la one
of the largest In the west and hla feeding
Is done on a scale not equalled by any
other farmer In that state. It Is said
that for some time he ha been trying
to get tbe Burlington road to give blm
better facilities for the handling of bis
crop and stock, and while there Is a load
ing yard on the farm, there la not sufficient
trackage to suit him. Tarkio Is on a branch
of the Burlington and ttre are complaints
on tbe part of many shippers that they
have no direct connection with the east.
The proposed line to Des Moines would
give them a competing line to Chicago
and also to Omaha.
The local representative of the Iowa line
could give the Missouri farmer no posi
tive answer to hi proposition for a free
road-bed, but will submit the matter to
the board of director.

Today the Burlington take control
and begin the operation of Its new acqui

particulars of which transaction and ar
rangements have appeared In The Bee.

ment officials from Omaha from the various
lines left last evening for Chicago to at
tend the meeting Tuesday of the Western

Importance Is on tho dooket for this meet

Tbe meeting of the general committee of
the city council yesterday opened with a
hearing of the parties Interested In the
draft of an ordinance providing for the
construction of permanent walks on both
side of Spalding street between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-seventh. The majority
of the residents on this street wish per
manent and uniform walks, but Ed String
er and others contended that It would be

answer to his letter of tbe 24th Inst., In

priation be made to defray the expense
of the work of assessment for next year.
In the letter Mr. Fleming expr'ised the
belief that an assessment could not be
made In strict accordance with the law
for lets than $8,000. He explained that If
an attempt -were to be made to assess
mortgagee and dlacover hidden property,
at least $2,000 Increase would have to be
mad In the regular appropriation. The
committee expressed its approval by a vote
of 4 to 3 in favor of a motion granting this
request. The amount will be taken from
tbe general fund.
A letter waa read from the authorities
of the state deaf and dumb Institution In
which they requested that a twenty-acre
piece of land rented by them be made ex
empt from taxation. Upon their showing

tion was carried that tbe land be made
exempt.

A large delegation of members of the

the request filed a week ago In connection
with the enforcement of the Slocum law.
What ths members of the league want Is
a strict enforcement of the law, saloons
to close at midnight and have a stop put
to the selling pf liquor to minors. A num

This resolution directed that the company
remove its pole and wires from the

noard Sells Property.
Last night the Board of Education dis
posed of a strip of land near where the
Union Paciflo depot stands to John J.
Ryan for $2,100. Bids were advertised for
and as Ryan was tho highret bidder tbere
was no hesitancy in accepting his bid and
his certified check.
There was considerable .talk about the
purchase of lots st Twenty-fourth and R
streets forv a school building, but owing to
the fact that two bids had been offered tor
the same piece of property at a former
meeting and tho general opposition of the
people to erecting a building in that local
ity at this time, the proposition was laid
over indefinitely. There was considerable
talk about the matter, but when it came
to a vote tbe motion to purchase the prop
erty was lost.
Next came the bids for the construction
of a two-room addition to the Hawthorne
school. Three bids were received. J. H
McDonald, Jame Salmon and Joseph
Dworak were the bidder. Tbe contract
was awarded to Mcuonaia tor t.34.
While the Salmon and Dworak bids were
lower than that of McDonald, they were
laid aside for the reason that tbe require

compiled with In regard to filing certified
check with the bids.
Two rooms will be added to the Albright
school and three more room added to the
High school annex. These rooms are to
be of frame, and Architect Davla will pro

Jarlons to Industries Btat
ad la Violation of Law.
DENVER. Colo., Juns 39. Proceedings
on bebalf of the state of Colorado to dis
solve the Smelter trust wer started la
the state supreme court this afternoon.
In a voluminous complaint filed by Attor
ney General Post it is set forth thst the
American Smelting and Refining company
scd several other smelter concerns ars la a
combine to restrict competition In the
smelting business; that the results of the
monopoly are injurious to the Industries ef
the stats; that It Is violating ths laws, aad
that it Is paying unreasonable dividends
upon exceaslve aad fictitious capitalisa
tion. The complaint asks that all of ths de
fendants be adjudged to have forfeited
their rights to do business in ths state
and thst they be ousted and foreVer exclu
ded from doing business in tbe stats, and
that a receiver be appointed to take charge
of their property.
The court stated that in fairness to the
defendants they should receive notification,
of the suit, therefore the filing or the pro
ceedings was withheld until they can he
Informed of the contents of the attorney
general's complaint.
The hearing on ths stats's right to pro
ceed with the suit will probably bs set down
for next Saturday.
The defendants la the case are: The
American Smelting and Refining company,
the Omaha A Grant Smelting company, the
Pueblo Smelting and Refining company, the
Bimetallic Smelting company, the Colorado
SmeltlDg company and the Philadelphia
Smelting and Refining company.
The complaint recites the fset of the
formation of the trust in New Jersey with
a capital stock of $65,000,000 and adds:
"That said American Smelting and Re
fining company was organised by the afore
said defendants for ths specific and de
liberate purpose of cresting monopoly
of the business of smelting and refining
gold and silver and other valuable ores
and metals as aforesaid, snd to substan
tially engross the same, contrary to the
public policy and ths Isws of the state ef
Colorsdo."'
Then follows a severe arraignment ef the
company's methods, particularly excessive
charges "for ths smelting and reductioa of
ths gold and sliver ores which ars shipped
to It by the people of said state;" con
niving with railroad to destroy compe
tition and "wrongfully keep back for Its
own uses ths difference between ths pub
lished freight rates sad tbe ssld secret
rates wrongfully secured by said American
Smelting snd Refining company ae afore
said." The trust now refuses to receive for
smelting sll of the gold and silver ore
offered to it by the cltli.ns ef Colorsdo, It
is stated, and the confpasy has shut dowu
snd dismantled several of Its smejtlng and
refining plants to the Injury of the public.
Said plants were prosperous going concerns
prior to their conveyance to said Ameri
can .Smelting snd Refining company and
would, but for said eonduot of said com
pany, be prosperous and going concern to
thl day.
It 1 alleged that the company secures
more favorable rates than are eajoyed by
the general public of th state sad by
reason of the extortionate and unreason
able charges demanded and recelv.d from
the people for tbe smelting snd reduction
of their ores as aforesaid, th ssld Amerl
csn Smelting and Refining company Is en
abled to pay and does pay sxoesslvs aad
unreasonable dividends.
