About the lint Important meeting which
General Manngrr Edward Dickinson will
attend an a representative of the Union
Tactile 1 the annual "pons" meeting to bo
held In St. Louis tomorrow. Mr. Dickinson
leave Omaha tonight to be at this gather
ing of railroad otTVlals whose duties com
pel them to assemble once a year and fix
rulea and regulations for the government
of the free pass system. When he returns
there will be but a few days left of his
aerrlce with the Union Pacific, which road
b hat been with since 18S9.
"Nothing of any special significance,"
aald Mr. Dickinson' when asked what would
be done at the St. Louis meeting. "The
regular routine matters will be taken up
and disposed of. It Is not understood that
any particular stringency In the matter
of restricting the Issuance of passes will
be attempted."
Mr. Dickinson begins his official career
as vice president and general manager of
the Kansas City, Mexico Orient, with
headquarters at Kansas City, bright and
arly Monday morning, one week from to
day. He will lay down the duties of gen
eral manager of the Union Pacific Friday
night, completing the month and rounding
out an even decade In that capacity, hav
ing assumed the place In the fall of 1892.
As Mr. Dickinson goes from the general
management of the old road to that of tho
prejected one he carries with him a tribute
worth taking from Ocorge J. Gould, one of
the Union Pacific directors and president
of more railroads than any other one man.
When Mr. Dickinson returned to the
Union Pacific In April, 1891, from the Bal
timore A Ohio, after an absence from the
former road of ten months. It was largely
at the urgent request and through the In
fluence of Jay Oould, the father of the
present railroad magnate. Ever since the
Qoulde have been close friends of Dickin
son. . Mr. Oould has given proof of hla
admiration of. Mr. Dickinson In personally
congratulating President Stlllwell upon se
curing the services of Dickinson.
Gould Not la Orient Now.
To Impression has lodged In some minds
that the Goulds were back of the Orient
project, but this Is authoritatively and of
ficially said to be a mistake. Arthur E.
Stlllwell Is head of the project and will be,
It Is positively asserted, until the road is
completed at least. Then It is highly prob
able a close alliance will be formed with
the Gould interests. There is no doubt
of the success of the new road by those
Interested In It. As to Mr. Dickinson, he
expresses implicit faith In the enterprise.
Upon this point he said:
"I am going down there with no mis
givings whatever. I am thoroa.fb.ly con
vinced that the road v..i become a suc
cess. It has been laid out on strict busi
ness principles and the execution of every
plan Is along the same line.
"There la at present only a very short
distance of trackage down, but I under
stand that between 800 and 800 miles of
the road have been put in readiness for
the rails and the plan la to enter upon
the construction work now with all possi
ble energy. Two steamers are now round
ing Cape Horn with steel with which to
start operations at the western extremity
f the road and I think Mr. Stlllwell has
already arranged for the completion of
savtoty-nlnt miles on this end. Work will
be pushed west of Wichita and until the
road Is completed between that place and
Kansas City the tracks of the Missouri
Fact Bo will be used."
Mr. Dickinson was asked if he had any
objections to stating whether his contract
with the Stlllwell people gave him an In
terest In the construction contract.
"I have no hesitancy In saying that It
does not," was his answer. "I am simply
to be vice president and general manager,
which will give me charge of the construc
tion work."
Dickinson's "accessor Not Named.
Nothing definite can be learned aa to Mr.
Dickinson's successor. A gentleman whose
word Is valuable on the subject says it is
not at all probable that the appointment
has . been made, although President Burt
possibly haa decided In bis own mind who
the appointee will be. It has been learned
that Mr. Dickinson's resignation was only
banded to President Burt last week, about
the middle, when Mr. Dickinson returned
from aq ptBclal trip to St. Louis, stopping
on his way home at Kansas City, where he
bad a final consultation with President
Btlllwell. In view of this fact. It Is thought
President Burt has not fully determined
the matter. The president Is now out of
the city and It Is believed on business con
nected with the appointment of a new gen
eral manager.
Since the receipt ef the telegram from
Salt Lake City Indicating that E. E. Calvin,
general superintendent of the Oregon Short
line, might become general manager of the
Union Pacific, certain reliable sources have
beea consulted, with the result that Mr.
Calvin's appointment is seriously ques
tioned, although no positive Information can
be bad on the subject.

FIGURES ON REGISTRATION
Parly Affiliation This Tear red
with, that of Two Years
A are.
The registration of this year presents
some peculiarities. In the Ninth ward the
republican registration for the first two
days Is but thirty-nine names short of the
registration of 1900, while the democratic
registration In the same ward Is but forty
short of what It was two years ago at the
same time. The greatest falling off In the
registration on the part of the democrats
Is In the First and Second wards, while
the republicans show the greatest decrease
In the Third and Sixth wards.
In 1900 there were ,941 republicans and
4,694 democrats registered the first two
days, showing a republican plurality over
the democrats of 6,345. At the same time
there were 2,203 persons registered who re
fused to give their party affiliation. This
yesr the republican registration at the same
time la 8,107, the democratic 3,400 and those
who refuse to give party affiliation 1,688.
There were 298 populists registered In 1900
and 145 this year. The combined opposition
to the republicans, counting those who re
fused to give any party affiliation as op
ponents. In 1900 was 7,095, showing a clear
republican majority, on the face of the
registration books at the close of the sec
ond dsy's registration, of 2,847. With this
showing McKlnley carried the city by a
little more than 1,900 votes. This year the
combined opposition to the republican
ticket, taking the efeme classes as In 1900,
Is 6,111, the totsl republican registration
8,107, leaving a clear republican majority
on the face of the registration books of
2.996, showing a republican gain over all
not republicans of forty-nine votes.
Congressman Mercer, in his personal cam
paign In the Second district, Is giving a
modern version of the old mystery play of
"David the Diviner," and Is startling his
constituents by the Intimate knowledge he
displaya of their families and their personal
experiences. Ths other day he visited In
the course of his handshaking tour a Far
nam street barber shop. The first man was
greeted with:
"Hello, Charley. I'm glad to see that
you are around again heard that you were
sick," and then followed a handshake for
which the congressman Is noted.
"Howde do, Tom?" was his next remark
to another artist of the rator. "That's a
remarkably fine daughter you have saw
her the other day,", with another hand
clasp, and so on down the room, with the
first name of the voter at his tongue's end,
and a personal remark fof each.
When the congressman left the men all
stood In wonder at' the acquaintance of the
member of congress with the name and
condition of each, and their comment grew
Into wonder aa some recalled the fact that
it had been many years since they had met.
Their wonder was changed to disgust
when the method of the congressman be
came known. It was learned that he had
visited a saloon next door to the barber
shop and from the dispenser of liquid re
freshments had ascertained the name and
condition of the employes of the barber shop
and had then, before the Information had
faded from his mind, visited the shop and
displayed his lntlmat knowledge of the
men of his district.
The plan was not worked at the barber
shop by him for the first time, it is said,
and Instances are recalled where he bas
obtained from foremen the names and some
facts in regard to the workmen In factories
which he would spring upon the men when
he made his visit.
Mr. J. N. Perkins, druggist of Lawton,
Okl., who baa been In business eleven
years, says of Chamberlain' Cough Rem
edy that during all this time he bas aever
bad a bottlo of this rsmedy returned aa
not having given satisfaction, proving con
clusively that this preparation will do all
that Is claimed for It. . There Is nothing
so good as this remedy for coughs, colds and
croup. It Is pleasant to take and, as It
contalna no Injurious substsnce, may be
given to a child with perfect confidence.

CflARGE OF MAIL ROBBERY
Two Colored Boji Brought from San
Francigeo to Answer lb
INSPECTOR SWIFT HAS A LONG CHASE
Finally Gets His Men on Rare Track
In Golden Gate City and Has
Then gent Here for
Trial.
Wise In the ways of the race track, but
not wise in the ways of the United States
mall service, Albert Lee and Edward Jack,
son occupy a cell at the Douglas county
Jail awaiting trial In federal court on a
charge of having "unlawfully, knowingly
and feloniously torn, cut and Injured one
certain mall bag or pouch with Intent to
ateal the mail therein." The bag waa
stolen at Big Springs, Neb., the first sta
tion beyond Ogallala, on the Union Pacific
road, early on the morning of October 1.
Albert and Edward are each colored and
about 17 years old. They haven't studied
Greek and they wouldn't know a square
root If they ssw It In plain daylight, but
they know every running horse from 8av
able to Buck Keith's selling-platers, for
that's their "life work." They were In
the east at the tracks all summer maesage
Ing the legs of the speedy and riding when
they had the opoprtunlty. In the fall they
started to the California tracks with a
palace car load of fast ones to do the
grooming on the way. The car was coup
led Into Union Pacific train No. 6 the last
day of September, Immediately behind the
mail car and baggage coach. The story is
that they sat In the car door with their
feet out In the air, at the urgent request
of the others in the car", and that this re
sulted in their present predicament.
Force Discovers His Loss.
At Big Springs the station force Is about
the size of the prohibition party In Dead
wood, and the postal clerks have to throw
the' mall pouches off onto the ground and
permit them to He there until the force
can get around to that part of his duties.
On this particular night the pouch was
thrown off as usual and when the train
came to full atop It was almost directly
under Albert-Edward's feet. At the race
track tbey had been taught to pick up any
little piece of Information they could, and
It Is charged that this Instinct was per
mitted to sway them at Big Springs; that
when the train pulled out of Big 8prlngs a
moment later the pouch was still a part of
Its freight, smuggled In between the two
boys In the car door.
Eventually the force at Big Springs dis
covered the lose and telegraphed bis re
grets and condolence to headquarters. Head
quarters telegraphed Postofflce Inspector A.
O. Swift of the Nebraska district to pack
his nightie and toothbrush for a long hunt.
8wlft Investigated and found a man at Big
Springs who suffers with Insomnia and had
been down to the depot the night of the
theft. This man said he had seen two boys
lift the pouch Into the car. A traveling
man from Denver verified this story. Mean
while the gutted pouch and some of the let
ters, also dlsembowled, had been found at
the side of the tracks five miles out of Big
Springs.
Following; the Horses.
Inspector Swift lesrned the destination
of the car of horses and followed them
to the Sacramento track. Then he went
to the 'Frisco track. In fact, the Inapector
became such a constant habitue of the
tracks that be was alarmed lest some one
take him for a tout or a sure-thing man.
Finally be found the Albert-Edward com
bination and bad It Jailed. The hunt oc
cupied nearly two weeks, and, as picking
out two particular colored boys at a race
track la like picking out two particular
maiden ladles at a mothers' conference, he
felt muck pleaaed.
The boys were taken before United States
Commissioner E. H. Heacock of the north
ern district or California, sitting at' San
Francisco, and held under ball of $2,000
each. As neither hsd $2,000 available at
that particular moment, and as the Judge de
clined to shoot craps for It, they were given
to Deputy United States Marshal George H.
Burnam for delivery to the officers hero,
where their trial will be.

ACCUSED OF STEALING IRON
Thomas Keller I'nder Arrest for Disposing-
of Street Railway
Property.
The disappearance of about 400 pounds of
Iron In sacks from a rear room In the Chi
cago lodging house, 207 South Twelfth
street, Saturday night, and some wagon
tracks at the back door of the place, led
to the arrest Sunday morning of Thomas
Kelley, who presides over the register at
this hostelry, charged with stealing tho
Iron from the street railway company.
For several days the street railway com
pany has been putting In a new switch at
Twelfth and Douglas streets and each night
since the work began, some one hsd been
taking the acrap Iron. Officers have been
watching the pile of iron In the room at
the lodging house gradually decrease, but
could not locate the thief. Sunday morning
the Iron had disappeared and Kelley told
the officers hs knew nothing of It. De
tectives Druinmy and Mitchell located the
Iron at the Junk ahop of Jacob Milder at
Ninth and Harney streets. Milder, so the
officers said, told them he had purchased
It from Kelley Saturday night and had
taken It away In bis wagon. .

At the Boyd.
Stella Mayhew and her company enter
tained two large audiences at the Boyd
yesterday with "On the Suwanee River,"
a drama of southern life In which the cur
rents of love and villainy cross and recross
until they are all tangled up, and finally the
stream of love emerges and flows smoothly
out Into the future. Miss Mayhew takes
the part of an old black mammy, around
whose ample figure the whole action of the
play revolves. She Is Johnny-on-the-spot
from post to win, and Is philosopher, guide
and friend to half the white folks in the
play and Death on a Pale Horse to the
others. She straightens out the kinks,
sings some up-to-date songs In the most
approved style of the modern coon shouter,
and otherwise carries herself so that If the
villain or the hero or both should fall to
put In an appearance they never would be
missed, as Miss Mayhew would only have
to oblige with another song and the show
would go right on. It Is redundant to say
that Miss Mayhew made a hit; in fact she
had the unanimous support of both her
audiences.
At the Crelarbton-Orpheam.
At the Orpheum tMs week Is presented
a bill that should prove highly satisfactory
to the patrons of that house, since It af
fords a pleasing variety of that widely
diversified class of acts which come under
the generic head of vaudeville. The most
pretentious number Is a comedy sketch en
titled "The Two Juliets," which in Itself
has but little to recommend It, but In the
hands of Lena Mervllle, Marlon Elmore
and Sydney Booth Is not by any means
slow. Madge Fox, who claims Omaha as
her borne and Is known as the "flip-flop
lady," sings "coon" songs and does flip
flops and cart-wheels. The Heras family,
two of whom are women, do an acrobatic
turn which has never before been pre
sented In this country except at the Chi
cago Opera house last week, and which
presents a number of novelties. Much of
the heavy work In the act Is done by a
woman whose most trying feat to all ap
pearances is In acting as the base of a
pyramid In which she supports the com
bined weight of all the others. A feature
of the entertainment which proved partic
ularly popular with the audience of yester
day afternoon was the singing of Miss
Jessie Dale, a young woman with a bari
tone voice and a repertoire ef good songs.
Ehe wss recalled until it became apparent
that a further encore would be rather an
Imposition upon her than a compliment.
Collins and Madell present a musical turn
and Phil and Nellie Peters a sketch entitled-
"Legitimate," and Charles Kenna
does a monologue which Is Intermittently
humorous.
