Till to GIVES HISTORY OF BUILDING COMPANY Ask te nT Tranefef of lloek Set Asldr and Contract with J. E. . Bum Declared Rail Bad Void. Yesterday 1n the United States dis trict court E. E. Hastings, trustee In bank rnptey of the estate of the W. R. Bennett company, Instituted proceedings to secure the title to the Bennett building and atable acd the land upon which each atructure stands. The petition sets up the fact of hie ap polntment aa trustee of the bankrupt mer cantile company and then alleges that at the time the W. R. Bennett Company de cided to change He place of business from Capitol a-renue the offlcera of the company doubted the power of the mercantile com pany, under Ita charter, to own and manage real eatate and therefore decided to organ lie the W. R. Bennett Building company, which was composed principally ot officers and stockholders of the mercantile com pany; that the mercantile company ad vanced money to the building company to an amount approximating $187,600 and this money, with the $182,500 borrowed from other sources, waa expended upon the pur chase of sites and the construction of the buildings; that at the time of the bank ruptcy proceedings he was placed in charge cf the mercantile company's property, which Invoiced about $110,000 In stock and 139,000 In fixtures. ara Stork la In Racrow. About that time, according to the peti tion, W. R. Bennett, the president of both the mercantile and building companies, said that the equity of the company In the building would be devoted to paying the debts of the mercantile company, but later he caused to be taken from the stock book of the building company all of ths stock certificates, which were then placed In the hands of C. W. Ralney to o delivered to J. E. Baum after Mr. Baum had performed certain work; that the transfer of Bhares was without consideration and therefore void. The petitioner says that he has been unable to discover any lease from the building company to the mercantile com pany ar.d that W. R. Bennett has informed him that, no such lease exists. The peti tioner Btates that the W. R. Bennett Build ing company, which has received no pay ments from the stockholders on account of atock, was but a convenience for the W. R. Bennett company and that Its property Is really the property of the mercantile com pany, for which reason he prays that the W. R. Bennett company, J. E. Baum and C. W. Ralney be cited to show cause why the transfer of stock and the contract with Baum shall not be set aside and the title of the property of the building company be declared in the trustee for the benefit of tho creditors.

Meb. ELKH0RN MEN ARE GUESSING (fcaieette Coaeeraa Dlaaoaltloa t Oaaaba General Offices by Northweatera. Intense Interest, coupled with Bome anxiety. Is felt by officials at Fremont, Elk horn A Missouri Valley railroad headquar ters regarding the coming purchase of that line by the Chicago A Northwestern rail way. A meeting of the board of directors of the Istter system has been called for February 10 to complete this deal. What will then happen to the Elkhorn headquar ters here and Its occupants Is the burning question. Ab one of these put It: "I don't think there is any question that the name Fremont, Elkhorn A Missouri Valley will become a thing of the past. Undoubtedly tho whole thing will become the Northwestern system. And when they do away with that name what will they do with Os? Will we be consolidated and drawn Into Chicago, will we be left here, or will we be left out? "No Inkling has come to us of what our fate will be. It is unreasonable to suppose that the Northwestern will maintain head quarters here for very long. Concentra tion Is the whole story with the railroads now, anyhow. See how quickly the 8ioux City A "Pacific dropped out of existence after Ita purchase. It was left no general offices nor any other offices. It simply be came a part of the Chicago A Northwestern system. But of course that Is a much smaller matter than the Elkhorn. Tet I think they will do away with every trace of the old Elkhorn general offices." Croap. The peculiar cough which Indicates croup Is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost In tho treatment of It, and for this purpose no medicine has i received more universal ap proval than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experiment ing with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as directed and all symptoms of croup will quickly disappear. Announcement of the Theaters. The favorable Impression of the Initial performances of this week's bill at the Or pheum Is manifest in the large attendance, as Is also the character of the vaudeville entertainment In the personnel of the audi ence which Is distinguished by the elite. Cole and Johnson, the colored entertainers, are scoring heavily at each performnace. Their encores are so numerous that one would believe they could satisfactorily fill the time ordinarily allotted to several acts. Their vocal and piano work catches the fancy. Among their songs are "The Maiden With the Dreamy Eyes," sang by Miss Anna Held in the "Little Duchess" and "Under the Bamboo Tree," a catchy little coon melody. In pleasing qualities the remainder of, the program is pretty uniforms. The regular midweek matinee will be given tomorrow. Those who care for the sort of fun de rived from the comedy Irishman, and he Is about the wittiest being on earth when he wants to be, will have an opportunity this afternoon and tonight at Boyd's theater when "The IrlBh Pawnbrokers" will take possession of the theater, Sullivan and Mack, the well-known Irish comedians, will be seen In the title roles. Mazln Trum bull, the clever little aoubrette, will assist very materially in the entertainment. The conledy Is aald to contain little or no plot, but to be a series of comedy hap penings which dovetail very nicely. A sing ing and dancing chorus, a distinct novelty In this form of offering of pretty and viva clous young women will be seen. Among the prominent members ot the cast are: Delmore and Wilson, John Wood, Bobby Bryant, Joe J. Conlan, W. H. Spencer, Ed die Brown, Maymle Taylor, Warren sisters and the Bromley sisters and fifteen others. There will be a meeting of the Fifth Ward Republican club at Young's hall, Sixteenth and Corby streets, Wednesday evening, January 28, at 8 o'clock sharp. W. B. CHRISTIE. President. DIED.

Doubert ac cused Edith Bartlett of having taken his cash and she was arreated. Doubert did not like the Idea of being locked up at police headquarters and detained as a complaining witness and permission waa granted him to remain at the City hotel. The officers grew suspicious lest friends of the Bartlett woman should Intercede n her behalf by effecting a settlement and urging Doubert to leave the city. Cap tain Haze is of the opinion that Doubert was paid In full or at least In part by friends of the prisoner and then hustled out of Omaha, that no complaining wit ness might appear against the Bartlett woman. The theory that Doubert was foully dealt with is scouted by the police. THROUGH MAGICAL SCENES. A SeTenteen-Mlle Drl-r Over the Most Remarkable Illahway In the World. One of the chief attractions of the Hotel Del Monte Is the Seventeen-mile Drive, un questionably ' the most remarkable high way in the world. It 'was constructed by the Paclflo Improvement company for the pleasure of the hotel guests, and Is macad amized throughout with the disintegrated granite which underlies the peninsula and of which the perfect walks and drives In the grounds of the hotel are constructed. Neither dust nor mud Is ever possible on this famous drive. In Its course It passes through Monterey and Paclflo Grove on the bay shore, cuts through the forest to the north end of the peninsula, swings west wardly to the Paclflo ocean, then south eastwardly to Carmel bay, and thence over the ridge back to Monterey and the Hotel Del Monte. Every one ot Its seventeen miles brings something new, strange and wonderful Into view natural beauties and marvels wholly dlBtlnct and singularly fas cinating. The Hotel Del Monte Is provid ed with stables completely equipped with the best In the way of horses, vehicles, drivers and guides and the charges' are modest. Beginning at the hotel, the drive passes the bathing pavilion, traverses the streets of Monterey, comes within sight of the monument erected July 7, 1896, by Mrs. Jane Stanford, In honor of Juntpero Serra, runs through Paclflo Grove, and then swings Bharply to the west and bores Its winding way through the forest. Before this Is done, however, we may drive straight on through Monterey to the old lighthouse on Point Plnos, and note where the bicycle road turns out to the left and runs down to beautiful Lake Majella, near which are dazzling white sandhills, from which glass is made. . The direct and most comfortable route to these magical scenes is over the Union Pacific. Literature giving full Information can be obtained at the olty ticket office, 1324 Farnam street. 'Phone 818.

"Fainting Bertha" Llebbeke will not be prosecuted in this city. Instead she will be sent to the Iowa asylum for the Insane. This Is not the first time she has been de ported to such an institution, the efflcera state, as they recall the exciting escape which she mado from the last institution of that kind to which she was sent in a south ern state. After having filed serious charges against five of the guards she per suaded them to leave the asylum between two days, that they might escape losing their official heads through an investiga tion and that she might also secure her freedom. As Bertha is a resident of Coun cil Bluffs she will be taken to the asylum in that state. Dr. Tllden of the Douglas county board of insanity commissioners has made necessary arrangements with Captain Haze and Chief of Detectives Dunn to have the prisoner deported from Omaha and cared for by the Iowa officials.

FIFTY-TWO RAILROADS ARE CONCERNED Chairman Ward of the Employes' General Committee of the Elk horn Road Denies that Strike Is Probable. It was said In railroad circles yesterday morning that private advices bad come from St. Louis to the effect that the gen eral managers of the four Gould lines in conference there with general committeea representing the conductors and trainmen had refused the demands of the latter for a raise of wages and other concessions. It was further stated that an assembling of the executive committee had immediately been called by the conductors and train men for Wednesday, January 28, and that It wa3 expfceted a general strike over the entire western division of the Order ot Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway .Trainmen would be ordered at that time. Thta would Involve fifty-two rail roads in the west and middle west and 150, 000 men of the t.vo orders. A. F. Ward, chairman of the general com mittee,, of tho conductors and trainmen of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad, which has negotiations under way with General Manager Bldwell on this same matter, was questioned regarding the in formation. Ho refused to divulge anything whatever about it, but would only deny the statement that tbero would be a strike. IVaril Says No Strike. Mr. Ward refused to say that the Gould lines had refused all the concessions and he refused to ray they had not done so. He would not say whether sny meeting bad been called. But he did say that If any such result of the conferences had occurred It would be settled by a different method than a strike. He admitted that the re sult of the Gould line conferences would be an index for settlements with all the othor lines involved. "But while I an on this topic," said Chairman Ward. "I do wish to say this. Any statement that General Managur Bll weil refiwid'to grant our committee here a conference Is falso and was authorized ty no member of this committee. It is an Injustice, to us to say that we said that and it is an Injustice to Mr. Bldwell, who has always treated us courteously." Mortality Statlatlm.
