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. Judge Munger has set
the application for hearing next Friday..

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,

COMPLAINING WITNESS GONE
Police Fall to Find Man Who Ac
cused Woman of Rob
bing Him,
Though they have searched earnestly, the
police have failed to find George Doubert,
the Reading, Pa., man, who came to this
city a few days ago and was relieved ot
$260 while seeing the sights. 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

GOES TO AN IOWA ASYLUM
"FalatlBB Bertha" Llehbeke Will Be
Sent to Hospital lor the
Insane.
"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.

change. Among the checks which are now
in possession of Captain Haze, which Tem
ple is said to have passed, are two given
to the Fry Shoe company and the A. Hospe
company. Most of the bad checks are
drawn on the Nebraska National bank,
while some are on the Merchants' National
bank.

ago from the east, where his parents re
side, and because ot his excellent, voice
soon attained considerable prominence In
musical circles. He Is 22 years of age,

Eumor Says Gould Lines Have Esfussd
Demands of Conductors and Trainmen.
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."

Gosper which Is on a star route, for the
purpose of seeing his wife, whom it was
thought he had deserted. Mr. Sinclair could
not get to Arapahoe at that time, but "nt
word to the postmaster at that'place ask
ing him to have Kaser taken In-charge
