THE OMAHA PAILT BEE: TTJERPAT, FEBUDATIY 10, 1003. 10 CHANCE FOR HOMESTEADERS About Tour Hnndred Thousand Acres in Bebntdka Thonght to Be Open. LOUP, GARFIELD AND WHEELLR COUNTIES if arm I ra.enrr Arn Krnrl I Taking; Preliminary teps To. ward the Settlement of Vast K.me. Within 140 mllog of Omaha there are nearly 4"0,OfiO arrrs of fertile, nrable homo stead land thai la open for sottlrmrnt at any time and has hern for years. Thla dls covery haa Just conic to the knowledge of John Franria, grnr-ral passenscr agent of the B. & M. railroad. If the plana now br ing laid by him In consequence of the In formation carry there will shortly be started for that country the moat remarkable home itead rush ever known. Tha land la In Loup. Garfield and Wheeler counties. The Burlington already has a railroad arm Into each county. From tho Aurora and Central City brain h one arm runa to Sargent, In Custer county, six miles below the line of Loup county. Another ex tends to Burwell, In Garfield county, and till another to Erlcson, In Wheeler county. Mr. Francis was astounded when he learned of this government land In that lo cality. "Think of 2,421 qunrter sections of land lying open within Ices than half a day of Omaha," ho said. "Think of what can be done with such land so clnno to such a market as this. This proposition Is really startling In Its significance, both to Omaha a a commercial center and to that terri tory as a money making proposition." Walts for Detailed lleport. Mr. Francis only waits for final detailed reports of the exact nature of this land before launching Its settlement boom. Ho now has experts gotng over the ground in the three counties, who will report to him toon on the exact character of the soil, so that ho may know for what it may bent be used. He has already tnken many steps toward his final end. He has exact maps of the three counties, showing Just how many acres in each township are open. The total figures are 388,180 acres. This information of almost half of three entire counties being open for settlement came to Mr. Francis accidentally a short lima ago. He at once communicated with D. Clem DeaTer, register of the land office at O'Neill, Neb., on the matter. Mr. Deaver verified the tale. Then Mr. Francis began work on his project to have the land taken up. Fraaeh la Inveatlnatlna;. "Of courae, I don't want to raise a big noise about this land till I know its exact character." said Mr. Francla, "but every thing looks bright. The territory is In the same longitude as Hastings, and not far above that city. Tho general character istics of soil in those counties, which I have collected from statistics In the last few days, show the land to be arable throughout. Beaver creek. Cedar creek, Calamus river and the North Loup river run through it with their tributaries, so there is much water. "Even it all the land Is not good for agriculture we know now that it is all fine grazing ground, and what Isn't farmed can be used for stock, a great thing with the South Omaha market so near. There Is rich hay and grasses for both summer and winter range. "A great feature of thla territory will be the ease of getting water. It is a country ' of flowing wells. Anywhere there you can gt flowing water by sending down pointed gas pipe eighteen feet or so. No windmills or pumps will be necessary." Drives All Before It.

TALKS STREET CAR SERVICE General Manager Smith Explains Conditions on the Leavenworth Street Stab. Speaking In regard to the efforts of cer tain residents on Leavenworth street to have through service of street cars over the Park avenue line and that part of Leavenworth street west of Twenty-ninth, Manager Smith of the company said: "At the present time the amount of bus tness on the Leavenworth stub will not Justify increased expenditures, but this is not the principal reason that it would be impractical to give through service. It 1 possible that if the service was made bet ter the people would come, but the condl lion of the track along Leavenworth street west of Twenty-ninth, is such that it would be unwise to run on of the heavy cars over it. The wooden pavement has dlsap peared from the street. We would be will Ing to Improve the track if the atreet could be paved. If we place heavy rails on th street now we will have the work to do gain, practically, when the street 1 paved." The company is busy making preliminary arrangements for work on the new power louse, and in a few days will have signed lontracta for the heavy machinery. WORN TO A SHADOW. When there is a falling off in flesh ia woman or man there is "something wrong." And that something wrong is generally a loss of nutrition aue to dis ease of the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition. Some times this loss of flesh ia accom panied by variable appetite, but in many cases the ap petite does not fail and there may be a constant desire rt Ml I ti tmrr nervousness, irri- f Hess, are symptoms often associated with this loss of nutrition and fal ling off in flesh. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures disease of the stom ach and other or sraua of digestion and nutrition.

Cockrell, city claim agent. hreatens to ask the council to pass an or dinance forbidding the acceptance of any lalm against the city unless such claim be made In words correctly used and correctly pellod. Yesterday he said, as he held p a typewritten document: "Now look at this, will you? Here Is a man who is going to 'hold the city liable In amageB by reason of Its gross careless ness, and he permits his stenographer or somebody to spell words and construct sentences In a way that would drive a man o drink. He writes that on January 17, 1903, as ho was 'turning the southest corner of Seventeenth and Jackson streets' he en countered a 'glair' of slippery ice; that he linped and fell and 'struck a bunch of cey ashes beside of said walk and gutter stone.' He states also: I injured myself nternally and externally and broke and sprained my left arm and elbow and hurt and crushed my lower limbs and received such serious injuries that my physician and surgeon feels I will never be as well as formally.' How's tffat for grammatical construc tion and lucid statement of facts? And how Is tho city to turn down a man who has suffered as he has? He Is injured in side and outside, he. has shattered his arm until it must bo a sight and he has crushed bis lower limbs. That's awful." CLEANLY WOJIA1. Errsneosily Thinks by Beoarlnst Her ftealp that She Cures Daadrnff. Cleanly woman has an erroneous Idea that by scouring the scalp, which removes the dandruff scales, she is curing the dan druff. She may wash her scalp every day, and yet have dandruff her life long, accom panied by falling hair, too. The only way n the world to cure dandruff Is to kill the dandruff germ, and there la no hair prepara tlon that will do that but Newbro's Herpi- clde. Herplcide, killing the dandruff, germ leaves the hair free to grow as healthy Nature intended. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect. Kill tha dandruff germ Ith Herplcide. HALF A MILLION CAR FARES Amount of Injured Woman's Claim Aa-alnst the Btreet Rail way Company. Ida M. Luther of Henderson, Ia., began suit yesterday against the Omaha Street Railway company for $26,000 personal dam ages, alleging that through the careless ness of the company's employes a car at Twenty-fourth and Spalding streets was started suddenly while she was in the act of alighting. She states in the petition that she was thrown to the ground, her spine, hips and head being so 'severely in Jured that paralysis of the lower limbs re suited, permanently injuring her. She asks Judgment also for $760, alleged to have been expended by here in medical treat ment and expenses resulting from the In- Jury. RlcuArdDervln, as administrator of the estate of Hugh J. Deryin, has begun suit against the Union Pacific Railroad com pany for $5,000, alleging that Hugh Dervln was in the performance of his duties ss switchman In the local yards when killed December 2, 1902, and that the ' esglne which -backed into him in the storm was handled with carelessness by the com pany's employes. Edwin R. Stevens Is suing the Union Stock Yards company for $10,000 for in Juries received when he leaped from a car December 26, 1902. He relates that he was a brakeman and that while on top- of the car mentioned it turned over "suddenly and without any notice to him," and that such accident was occasioned by the bad condition of the tracks in the company yards.

DMA DEMOCRATS ARE BUSY Three Entries in the Mayoralty Handicap Are at tie Post. IT IS HOWELL AGAINST THE FIELD ronneilmanle Candidates Bobklag t'p Bo Xnmernnslr that They Are Bnmplnt Aaalnaf Each Other la Many Wards. The race for the democratic mayoralty nomination proceeds merrily Just as If the prize was worth the winning. K. E. Howell, James . P. Connolly and E. 8. treeter are at th post with distinct colors and ambitious Jockrs, and they romtse to put up an exciting show. Some of the onlookers from the grand stand say that Howell is acting badly at the nat snd may not get off when the starter gives the word, but hla trainers insist that ho Is fit and will not only start, but win. Strecter is a sort of Independent racer, having only borrowed the colors of the Douglas County Democracy for this event. He has been entered In other political handicaps, but has always been eft at the post. Connolly, who goes in this race with the backing of the boys of the Court House stable. Is a two-time winner in the County Commlsslonershlp wecpstakes, and therefore considered a likely candidate. Tho County Democracy wanted to enter a brace of old favorites for this contest Frank J. Burkiey and YV. . Popplcton but a careful examination isclosed the fact that both were unwill- ng to go the distance. The braves of the Douglas County Democracy are not at all discouraged over their defeat at the meeting of the democratic city committee Saturday, for they contend that th .latksonians took an unfair advantage of them in arbitrarily voting in proxies held by Howell men and voting out proxies In the hands of antl-Howellltes. As an Instance, they cite the fact that P. M. Tobln, who has lived in the Eighth ward 'or a yar aud a half. was permitted to act as proxy for n Fourth ward member, all hong 1 the ru'es of the committee restrict proxies to residents of their own wards. The braves asecrt thnt the ease with which they secured proxies from Jacksonlan members of the commit tee indicates weakness in th.i Howell mayoralty candidacy. The fact that proxies were turned down, they contend, is not as significant lis the fact that they were secured. C. O. Lobeck Is an interesting figure In the pending campaign, for the reason that he Is now the holder of one public office. the contestant for another and a probable candidate for mayor, city comptroller or councilman. It is said that the Fifth ward councilman Is a little more than willing to get into the mayoralty scramble, snd Is only waiting for one side or the other to isKe mm up. There was at one time a movement In the Douglas County Democracy to make Lobeck a candidate for maror, but a few of tho leaders would not stand for him. Meanwhile, the Howell people under took to get the Fifth warder on their slate for comptroller in order to get him out of the way of the coal man. Lobeck, it Is said. still has the Howell offer under considera tion. To further complicate the Lobeck matter there are a number of Fifth ward democrats who want to renominate their present councilman. While the democratio mayoralty contest is evidently a three-cornered affair at this time, there are really only two sides to It Howell and the antl-HowelL Connolly and Streeter are both out to beat Howell, and it the two of them succeed in electing a majority of the delegates to the conven tion no difficulty will be met in bringing about a combination. It will require 68 votes to nominate, and Howell claims 20 from the Second ward, IS from the Third, 15 from the Sixth and 9 from the Seventh, making Just 69 in all, or ons more than the necessary number. Streeter is sure of his ability to carry the Seventh, and he will have Connolly's assistance in his effort. And then the hopeful Mr. Connolly says he will put a further crimp in the Howell calculations by carrying the Third and splitting the Sixth. Connolly Is sso count ing on the First and Eighth wards solid snd some delegates from other wards. He and Streeter are two of the busiest men In town Just at present.' Democratic councllmanlo candidates are so thick In some of the wards that they are getting in each other's way. In the First ward are four E. Stuht, former coun cilman and independent water works mag nate; John Fixa, saloon keeper; Andrew Frlck, wholesale liquor dealer, and R. F. Williams, son-in-law of Councilman Has- call. In the Second the Howell backers, who control this ward, ar keeping a number of aspirants under cover. The Third ward presents Charles Schnauber, grocer; "Billy" Atkins, saloon keeper, and Jerry McMahon. W. J. Mount, former county commissioner, is mentioned as a probable candidate in the Fourth. Hobart Williams, Insurance agent; Councilman Lo beck and D. J. O'Brien, the candy man, are mentioned in the Fifth. The Seventh has E. P. Berryman, hardware salesman, and Ed Walsh, insurance agent. . There is a quartet In the Eighth Charles Johnson, the present assessor; Tom Faulkner, Harry McVea and John Fitzpatrick. In the Ninth Churchill Parker and Robert F. Smith, who works f.or an Implement house in Council Bluffs, are the candidates. Annoaneements of the Theaters. It is surprising how some of tb3 new stars have made perma lent places fcr themselves in the theatrical firmament. S. Miller Kent, who is starring in "Tec- Cow boy and The Lady," and who will be the attraction at the Boyd tonight and tomor row night, will very likely appear after this season in Charles Ilawtrey's great play, "The Messenger From. Mars." If Mr. Kent had not made a permanent hit in "The Cowboy and The Lady" he would not be able to secure such a valuable theatrical property. The Orpheum was packed again last night and the evening was distinguished in another respect in that ?t was ihe most fashionable audience of the season. It ap pears that the magnetism f the Orpheum Road Show will make a recurd week of it, for there is a very big demand for seats for the entire week. Mclntyre snd Heath wtll change their act for tonight and Wednesday night, putting on another sketch that has not been seen here entitled "But ton It I'p." They will change their bill again Thursday matinee to thei" famous old "Georgia Minstrels" for tha remainder of the week. Leave Chleatto at Ni-tO Arrive St. Auaaatiae 1 m. Dally, 10 a. m.

GOOD PROSPECT FOR INCREASE IN WAGES Three Oonld Line Take Action on the Preposition that Goes to Gen eral Managera of Fifty Two Railroads. General committees of the Order of Rail way Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen In Omaha have finally received official verification of the newspa per reports that their brother committees that have been working with the general managers of the four Gculd lines in St. Louts have come to a settlement. The offi cial bulletin received from St. Louis yes terday morning was dated last Saturday, and contained full accounts of the doings there. , According- to the official information three of the four Gould lines have thus far reached a conclusion in their conferences. They are the Missouri Pacific, the St. Louis ft San Franclso and tho Missouri, Kansas ft Texas roads. The general committee of the St. Louis ft Southwestern closed its work yesterday. Thus the four lines that were agreed upon as the key for the West ern Association of General Committees of these two orders have reached a conclusion. - But this does not mean that the work of the remainder of the fifty-two gen eral committees is over. As soon as 1 the fourth line In St. Louis finishes ; Its business the other forty-eight start , to work. They have then the basis I for a settlement. What the Gould lines ' have granted every other line in the asso- ; elation will be asked to grant. That means conference, between forty-eight general managers and general committees. - The only thing for these committees to do will be to take the St. Louis schedule of settlement and offer it ss sn ultimatum, No one road may accept It till It has been granted all fifty-two. The Gould commit- tees have not accepted it yet. and cannot tlll all the other lines secure it, CoBierencr. In Oiuataa. In Omaha there will be conferences be tween general committees of the conduc tors and trainmen of the Union Pacific and of the Elkhorn wl'h their general man agers. The committee will aek for conference dates, and will then call in all their members for the times set. by the general managers. During the period of the conference at 8t Iula only the chair man and secretary of each general com mittee has remained In Omaha. Of the two concessions secured, the wage Increase and the atndonmeot of double header., the conductors and trainmen re gard the latter as of far more Importance. "That double-header matter tickles us most," said one committeeman. "We like It because it puts s toP to our doing two men's work a day, and also because it re moves a great daDer from us. Double headers age a dang' rous business all the way through, for eWnemen and trainmen alike. The new rule simply says that they dare not put two engines on any train save one that one engine ran handle. Tbey can put seven or eight on now, for all we care, for It won't increase the size of the train. As It has been they would double the slie of the train and stick tws engines on it.

Cotton Belt Agrees. Also. ST. LOUIS, Feb. . The agreement reached between the St. Louis South western Railway company (Cotton Belt) and Its conductors and trainmen, in whtch the latter are granted a 15 per cent increase In wages, similar to that given by the three other southwestern lines to their men, will be signed some time during the day, thus positively averting the strike that seemed Imminent ' last week. The question of a raise of wages for trainmen and conductors of the Wabash system, with other matters of difference between employer and em ployes will be taken up next Friday and definitely settled. Delay in this matter has been caused by the absence from St. Louis of several Wabash officials in authority. Don't be deluded Into trying European makes, when the best is American.

There was filed in district court yesterday afternoon a petition for divorce in which the defendant named is Byron O. Burbank, an attorney practicing at the local bar and somewhat prominent in politics. Mr. Bur bank, apparently expecting the Cling, was at the clerk's desk when the petition was brought In by J. F.

J. j F. 8tout nd Nelson C. Pratt. They secured for her an order from Judge Day restraining the defendant from , interfering in any manner with the piain- tiff aud the two young son. of the parties, and from ' Interfering with the plaintiff's possession of the home at 2434 Seward street. Mrs. Burbank wants the custody of the younger boy, who is 8 yfcars old. The elder son is It. She wants also alimony, alleging her husband to have realty and personal property worth nearly $100,000. The Burbanks were married twenty years ago at Rockford, 111., and have been resident In Omaha since 1885, Mrs. Burbank being prominent as an ac tive member of the political and social science department of the Woman's club.
