According to the records of Incorporation
network of interurban etectrlo lines will
soon be branching out front Omaha or
reaching toward tfila place from other
points, and Omaha will become a center of
eleotrlo communication.
Some of the roads which have bean In
corporated probably will never be built.
Ifor the average investor looks with con-
'terable doubt on Interurban traction as
f ; n experiment in tma state and In Iowa,
which he would rather see other people
work out to an assurance of success. But
there is one road, the Omaha, Lincoln at
Beatrice Electric railway, which has al
ready secured a large part Of Ita right-of-
way and quite probably will begin grrtlng
this fall. Another Una. tha Bloux City,

first of tha year when the price would be

Captain R. A. Talbot ot South Bloux
City, who has charge of the construction
work of the Sioux City, Homer at Southern
and Is tha principal promoter, was in
Omaha this week. He aald that the fine
weather was being taken advantage of and
that he was hiring all the grading teams
he could for the 'work. The grade haa
been completed for eight miles from Sioux
City to Dakota City and twenty-five teams
are now at work below that point. Four
miles have been laid with ties and the
rails are In position for one mile. The
trafflo arrangement over the bridge which,
under Its charter from the War depart
ment, is open te all roads, was made some
time ago, and the road will use the present
rails, but build Its own approaches. This
Interurban Una haa a right-of-way to the
northern -boundary of the Winnebago
reservation, which Is four miles south of
Homer. It taps a pocket of very good
territory without competition south of
South Stoux City and Dakota City. There
Is a low, level plateau of twenty-five miles
without grades snd needing" only one small
bridge, cut off on the eaat by the river
and on the west by the steep bluffs, and
having a considerable population. It is
the ultimate Intention to build south to
Tekamah, where the Minneapolis at Omaha
Una returns to the river, but there Is no
likelihood of this being done for some
time.
Mattera ef Local Interest.
Tha circumstance which adds local Inter
eat to this Una is tha preaent financing
of tha Omaha, Decatur & ' Northern elec
trie road, which, when planned, was to
have covered the territory between Omaha
and Bloux City, but which will now, If
built. In all probability connect with the
new Sioux City line at Homer. This paper
road owes Its existence to tha long con
tinued agitation of the Decatur people for
some meana of communication with the
outer world. Thla ia one of the oldest
villa gas In the state, but has never known
better uorvica than the stage coach. The
Decatur people have put a considerable
sum of money into tha erheme and tha
survey has been made between their town
snd Tekamah, but they are now tied up
over aoma Bloux City capital. An agent
haa been in Blair for months, but haa
aentatlves, says that the line will be built,
done Uttle in raising money there. H. H.
Bowes of Bowes at Hodder, local repre-
lt Is proposed to run south from Homer
through the Winnebago and Omaha agen
cies to Decatur, straight across to Teka
mah, along the bottoms to Herman and
along the bluffs to Blair, from where the
course la rather Indefinitely laid through
Irvlngton and Bennington to Benson, from
where tracka are to lead Into Omaha and
to South Omaha.
The Council Bluffs. Tabor at Southern la
another road which seems In a fair way to
become steel and graded dirt, and which. If
satisfactory trafflo arrangements can be
made over the Douglas street bridge, will
enter this city and probably become a con
tlnuatlon of the Omaha-Bloux City lines
Negotiations hava been entered Into with
tha Omaha street railway and local repre
aentatlves of tha proposed Una up th river,
Tha Council Bluff, Tabor at Southern Is to
run down through Qlenwood snd Tabor to
BU Jueeph and eventually. It Is planned, to
Kansas city. Cowglll at Craig of this city
have made tha aurvey south to tha Missouri
line and part of the right-of-way has been
obtained. The propoaltion has been
financed. It Is said, by men living In Cres

line to Florence was the experimental
route, and unless the winter business Is not
so good aa Is expected the Una during Its
first year will have paid for the expenses
of operation and not much more. However,
this satisfies ths company. Mr. Smith is not
In favor of interurban lines In general,
because he holda that the country Is not
sufficiently settled to produce paying busi
ness. The Bellevue Una, If built, wUl reach
the town, the college and Fort Crook. No
Una has been decided en, but It Is probable,
according to Mr. Smith, that a southern
course wUl be taken down tha valley from
Albright The topography of Bellevue
makes it somewhat of a problem to reach
both the town and the government reserva
tion, but If the Une Is built It must draw
the trafflo from both sources.
Another eleotrlo Une between South
Omaha and Papllllon is on ths tapis, and
Lyman Waterman has been actively en
gaged In Its promotion. This line as pro
posed will run from the stock yards
through Sarpy Mills, past Jetter's brewery
and on to Papllllon. According to Mr.
Waterman he has a contract to carry the
stock yards refuse, amounting to several
cars a day, and another contract for In and
out carrying for the brewery. It Is pro
posed to make a summer resort at the
Sarpy MlUs lake and put In amusement at
tractions In addition to a half-mile track
which, according to Mr. Waterman, Is
being graded. The right-of-way has, it is
aald, been secured, and grading will, begin
in the spring.
Report has It that next year Omaha win
be connected with Des Moines by an inter,
urban Jlne running through Dallas Center,
Panora. Guthrie Center, Audubon and Har
lan. This Is on the authority of President
Harry Polk of .the Dea Moines Interurban
company. Another line Is being built
through' Winterset and Indlanola iron lea
Molnea and other electric road are
planned, making a total of $00 miles at an
estimated cost of $T.l'W,UUU.

MEMORIES OF METHODISTS
Soma Beminitoenoei of ths Omaha Eitiion
of the General Conference.
BRILLIANT LEADERS AND ABLE PREACHERS
Great Minds of the Chairch Who Shed
Their Llsjrht from Omaha Pelplta
Darin th Month of
May. laoa.
Th meeting ef the Methodist Missionary
board, which Is to be held in Omaha, be
ginning November 11 snd lasting about a
week, will bring to this city many of tha
foremost men of thla great and progresalva
denomination and will undoubtedly attract
large numbers of people from the surrbund
Ing country. Among the more distinguished
men who wUl attend are Bishops Merrill
of Chicago, Andrews of New York, Fuss
of Philadelphia, Walden of Cincinnati,
MallaUeu of Auburndale, Mass., Fitzgerald
of St. Louis, Joyce of Minneapolis, Good
sell of Chattanooga, McCabe of Omaha,
Cranston of Portland and Hamilton of San
Francisco. Other prominent men ef the
body will be Dr. A. B. Leonard snd Dr.
H. K. Carroll of New York. Dr. Homer
Eaton of New York, Dr. H. C. Jennlng of
Cincinnati, Dr. Robert Forbes of Duluth,
Dr. J. B. Trimble of Sioux City, snd In all
probability Dr. J. M. Buckley of New York.
The very mention of some of these names
brings forcibly to mind tha great gather
ing of Methodists held In thla city In U92,
tha general conference of that year. In
many respects that was the greatest re
ligious convention ever held in Omaha
The conference lasted during the entire
month of May and the average attendance
waa about $.500, and on several occasions
was more than double that number.
Many Able Sermeas Preached.
Among the many eloquent and Impres
sive sermons preached during .the confer
ence there were at least three which de
serve special mention. First, ths sermon
preached by Bishop Foster . one Sunday
morning at the First Methodist church
It was what was known as his "Astro
nomical" Sermon, the text being taken from
Psalms vlii. lli-iv, which reads as follows:
When I consider Thy heavens the
work of Thy fllngers," eta. Auyone
who heard that sermon could never
forget It. When the bishop came
into the pulpit he looked weak and
worn and some feared he would not be able
to preach. But the sermon had not
progressed far until tha Area of youth
seemed to rekindle within him. Aa he be
gan to picture tha immensity of space
through which tha planeta revolve and tha
amaslng beauty and grandeur of the handi
work of tha Creator he seemed to fairly
Uft tha audience out of their aeats and
carry them with him in his flight through
celestial realms. Tears streamed from the
eyes of hundreds of his hearers and one
man In tha audience aald when the bishop
closed: "What a pity that man cannot
live a hundred yeara longer."
The second great effort waa that by
Bishop Fowlar, ona Sunday afternoon at
the old axpoaitlon building, on Capitol ave
nue, where the sessions of the conference
were held. The theme was the final tri
umph of Christianity over the wk-kedneaa
of tha world. Thoae who went to tha meet
ing with gloomy views of tha work of the
Christian church were lifted out of the
slough of despond In a surprising manner.
Ha was dramatic and at the same time
spiritual to auch a degree Xhat the most
conservative and sulat member of th vast

audience became electrified by his elo
quence. The "ametu became so frequent
at times that It looked as though the audi
ence would break out and sing right In the
midst of the sermon.
The third notable sermon was preached
by the late Bishop Nlnde, then of Topeka,
Kan. It was a purely gospel sermon, fash
ioned after the plain and simple words of
the Master, but for soma mysterloua rea
son the speaker seemed to be possessed of
wonderful spirituality, and his words
touched the hearts of the audience in a
marvelous manner. To those of a very de
vout inclination this was beyond doubt the
moat Impressive sermon of the conference,
and for many minutes after the sermon
was over the people presaed around Bishop
Nlnde to clasp his hand and tell him how
much they were helped by his matchless
gospel sermon. It was a Dwlght L. Moody
effort In style snd effect, and Is undoubt
edly remembered to this day by hundreda
who heard it.
Reporters at the Conference.
Upon the floor in debate there were some
very clever passages at repartee, hut all In
good humor. In the center of the oratorical
arena Dr. J. M. Buckley waa aver to be
found. He waa then and is today one of
the ableat debaters In the country. He
would have become distinguished in the
house or senate of the United States had
he planned his life differently and gained a
seat in congress. He can both take and give
a thrust with infinite grace and seat. On
ona occasion Dr. Buckley had been trying
to gain possession of the floor in a debate
upon some important question, but many
others were demanding recognition of the
presiding bishop, who happened to be
Bishop Fowler on that day. Dr. Buckley 1
had spoken on the question once and
Bishop Fowler was determined that all who
desired to speak should be heard before j
Dr. Buckley should again take possession
of the floor. But Dr. Buckley was very '
anxious and continued to bob up at the
close of each short speech,, demanding
recognition. Again and sgaln Bishop
Fowler granted the floor to someone else
until the entire audience became greatly
amused at Dr. Buckley's expense. Finally
there came an opening when Dr. Buckley
felt confident he should have recognition,
and taking a position In the middle of the
hall he made one more determined effort to
gain the floor.
"Have all the delegates spoken who de
sire to speak to the question before tha
house?" asked Bishop Fowler, paying no
attention to Dr. Buckley.
Suddenly a man arose In tha back part
of tha ball and said he would like to say a
word.
"You have the floor," said Bishop Fowler,
and the audience laughed heartily again at
Dr. Buckley'a discomfiture. But Dr. Buckley
was not to be silenced so easily.
"I fcave one consolation, Mr. President,"
he said, looking the bishop full In ths facs
and still standing.
"What is your particular consolation at
this hour, my brother?" asked the bishop,
with a merry twinkle In bis eys.
"I read In the scriptures," aald Buckley,
"that we ahall finally be delivered from tha
snara of the fowler."
A roar of laughter and applause fol
lowed, and for the moment Dr. Buckley had
the bishop in a corner. But quick as a
flash, and yet as calm and bland as a
summer day, Bishop Fowler turned the tide
of amuaement on Dr. Buckley by aaylng:
"And we read in the same passage, my
brother, that we ahall also ba delivered
from the noisome pestilence." For several
minutes the audience was convulsed with
laughter, and Dr. Buckley seemed to enjoy
ths Joke as much as anyone. After a few
mlnutea tha bishop granted Dr. Buckley the
floor, and he made ona of the moat power
ful speecbea of tha conference.

HAS ROTARY LETTER SYSTEM
Ingeniui American in Mexico Writ$ to
One Enadred Friend.
SAVES LABOR AND INTERESTS HIS READERS
Relates Entertaining; Facts Abotst
Laad of Senora and Has Tim t
Increases His Personal
Prosperity,
An Illinois telephone man who went to
Mexico City, Max., last spring to be ssslst
ant general manager of the "Companla
Telefonica Mexicana," aeems to hava
solved the problem of keeping In touch
with his friends In the "Estados Unldos"
in a very satisfactory manner. Inciden
tally he saves a great quantity of postags
stamps snd a vast amount of muscular
and mental energy. But the recipients of
his valued communications don't care, as
they are well repaid for the few cents
postage each letter costs them.
The name of the men who Is winning
fame for himself as a special correspondent
In old Mexico for the exclusive benefit of
about 100 persons In the United States la
Sam Frank "Senor" Frank, hs calls him
self now. He never dared to put on airs
like that when he was a common local ex
change manager at La Salle, 111., but since
his southern migration he is In a position
to lord it over his old friends.
Frank always was noted for his time
saving propensities. lie had all kinds of
labor-cutting devices around his office and
he was "forever experimenting. Several
times he threatened to court acquaintance
with the patent office, but cloae friends dis
suaded him by showing him the portraits
snd biographical sketches of a large num
ber of Inmates of county poor farms.
Frank won recognition first in the Illinois
river valley by introducing English cut
plug smoking tobacco, which he claimed
to Import at great coat, but which grew
cheaper as the natlvea got uaed to It.
Persons -snd personalities always Inter
ested Frank intensely. Ha waa forever
telling of tha curious observations ha made
of people he met and heard about and
generally hi delineations were pat and
appropriate. One of his personal Interest
Journeying led him to employ a whole
family of glrla as telephone operators, so
that ths family might havs bread and
meat. At first tha eldeat girl only was
available, but year by year younger alsters
grew big enough and wise enough to
handle a receiver In the central office, and
finally there waa what might be called a
telephone girl trust In that town.
Laada a Better Job.
It aeems that last spring Frank got tired
of aapirlng to b something important with
a big corporation, snd ha went to Mexico
and got a better Job. Here he has found
a way of using surplus thlnkags by watch
ing th natives and ruminating about them
and describing them to his friends, ss well
as learning tha language. Other featurea
of Mexican Ufa, municipal and rural, politi
cal. Industrial, esthetlcal and ethical, have
also coma under the sway of his fluent
typewriter, snd he has grown In his way
almost ss Important an educator aa Wil
liam E. Curtis or Frank Q. Carpenter.
Being a telephone man he has styled his
letters with a distinctive name "the Frank
salf-actlng-party-Une-letter," and that is
what they are. Before he left LaSalle for
a while he had to be his own clerk and he
learned to put his thoughts Into words at
a fairly swift gait by means of the type
writer. Now when charged with in
formation hs slips in a roll of thin' paper
snd turns off six or eight car-bon copies.
Ech copy be introduces by a "lead1
sheet, carrying; aix addresses, like thla:
i encioae herewith a copy of a letter
which I have written to soma of my
friends In tha United States and which
possibly may Interest you. After perusal '
win you please pass it on to the next
man."
The last self-actlnK letter that mu'
through Omaha went clear across the con
tinent, being opened first on Milk street
In Boston, then at Man dot a. 111.. Marinn
Ia., Omaha. Laramie, ' Wyo., and finishing
Its career at Los Angeles, Cal- where a
woman may treasure it If she Ukes.
In addition to the tqxt the letter was
Illustrated with sixteen small "kodak"
pictures, each properly numbered and de
scribed. The letter would make a column
or mora In a newspaper and the pictures
would half fill a souvenir album.
Many Omahaaa Read It.
If as many persons read the eotni.-unica-tlon
at every stopping point ss they did
In Omaha It should not be very long be
fore Information concerning detailed Mex
ico la widely diffused throughout the statee.
"I am eorry to report," wrltee Frank,
"that although I've had several good op
portunities to take a snap shot at the hon
orable president, that I either did not have
the inclination or the camera along. How
ever, I'll get him some day, aa he la very
much In evidence and easily approached.
"No. 15." he says, alluding to the Illustra
tions, "Is a typical peon. He posed for mo
and that accounts for his very correct atti
tude. Note tha tin horn in hla hand with
which he is celebrating the occasion. 11a
(his type) works for 75 cents, Mexican
money, per day. Many concerns pay him
off daily ws pay him weekly. Ha waa paid
( cents per day three years sgo. He and
his sometimes large family live In one
room. He waa born and brought up In that
way and you can Imagine the rest.
"Note the sandals he has on his feet a
piece of sole leather with thongs to hold It
to the bottoms of his feet. Many of them
don't wear any aort of footwear. If he has "
1$ cents In his pocket he has a lot of money
and I very much doubt If his worldly pos
sessions cannot b duplicated for $2.14, Mex
ican. Note the very picturesque 'Father
Hubbard' style he has of wearing his
shirt.
Ka Divorce la Mexico.
"A religious or civil ceremony of mar
riage Is very rare among this class. It is
cither too expensive or inconvenient and
then there Is no such thing as divorce in
Mexico. So he mates pretty much ss tha
birds do snd most assuredly Is an Individ
ual of much content. And his Ideas on that
subject are by no means confined to his
class.
"I would like to tell something more of the
social conditions here, but you would put It
down' merely to the Imaginations of a
pulque distorted brain. I do not believe it Is
possible to give one who has never been in
Mexico an Idea of what Mexico Is. You Just
come down here and live with It to get it
right. I do not believe that tourist who
come here from one to three weeks ever see
thlnga right. I am Just beginning to get on
the Inside now."
Ha dwells st length on ths Inclination of
Mexican municipalities to insist upon the
ornamental In every way possible and
ahowa pictures of the ornamental .iron
street railway poles. The telephone bual
neaa la gaining ground every day, according
to Frank, and he notes that iron telephone
polea are used exclusively; further, -that he
has a much better opinion of them than he
had before he left the states. For tha
benefit of the American "hello" girls It may
be aald that tha Mexico City operators wear
Ught ahawla tor headgear and invariably
aaluta one another and part with a klas
in tha ofnc. How tbey aulute the sub
scribers Is not related. '
