SCOTT rVTCOY ON LOU DILLON Veteram Driver Talk of the Mar Who Trotted 'Away from -Father .Time. Scott McCoy, ; known . tnroughout th United States as one of the most prominent and best versed horsemen In th country, Is a visitor In Omdha. McCoy ha driven the running mat .to, Lou Dillon Jn every race which she has run and Waa ao en gaged when she broke the world's trotting record at Memphis this fall. He ha many Interesting thing to say about the horse he has trained and driven, but th apple of hi eye I Lou Dillon. . "Lou Dillon I a Wonderful horse," said McCoy last night when talking to a coterie of. friend, "and If ho keep hef form next year thre Is absolutely no doubt In my mind but that she will go a mile better than 1:E8. She Is the moat wonderful horse In the matter of muscle that I hav ever known. Nervous and high strung, It takes the constant and watchful care of a number of persons to keep her fresh and In racing condition. She Is such a dainty creature, nevertheless, that everything must be Just right for her. Great credit, for her performances should be given to Tom Ball, -a young man whom Billing employ for no other purpose than to look after her feed and keep her In oon dlllon. Ball Is as neat and - dressy a a young bank clerk and he keep Lou Dillon In Immaculate shape all the time a re garda her condition. "Lou Dillon I what 1 known a a 'find.' Before he purchased th mare, Billing asked ma what I thought of her and old him that he bad better purchase the animal, as a few dollars to a man of hi wealth would not make much difference if she did ndt turn out to be what he ex pected, I -didn't hear anything from him for a while and then, when the great sale of hotsoe wa mad at Cleveland, billing bid br In for the oUry? sum. c $11,500. At that trine' eh'' wa'' practically unknown. but .I.httd seen- her: go a .few-times" and I thought that if she wer placed in good hand she might be developed Into some thing, and my Judgment In th matter haa been more than verified. It take constant care to keep her 'on edge' or In condition. as she Is such 'a nervous animal. For that reason aha roust have the beat treatment: 'Billings is a multi-millionaire and h ha never had one of ill small army of horses in a race for money. H leave the money for other owsers. - Hi .1 what I call a true sport, and I think the honor which has come to him i well bestowed and that It has fallen to on of the best men In the country."

Burbank sk th city that he be paid for the south thirty-three feet of Locust street from Twenty-first to Twenty-fourth street. Thlf la as nervy a demand for public cash aa wa ever made. It grow out of the success of John T. Gathers, who ha fenced up a portion of the Twentieth street boulevard at th In tersection of Locust street and has suc ceeded in holding the city up for the prloe of the same. The only difference I that Cather ha a shadow of title to the land he claims, while Burbank ha none. Jamea K. 'tsh formerly owned the prop erty in question and from him title passed to varloue parties, finally resting In Orrln R. Cain, by whom It wa platted and listed as Cain Place. ' Cain mortgaged the lots separately, some of them including the thirty-three-foot strip that had been dedi cated a street fend some of them without thi. Title to some 'of these lots passed to Byron? G.' Burbsrtk,' and he undertook, in 1897, to close the street In front of the lot he twin. Ralph' Breckenrtdge, acting as attorney for' the German Savings bank, brought Suit fof an Injunction to prevent this action on the part of Burbank. The case was heard befor Judge Keysor and waa by him decided for th plaintiff, hold' lng that the dedication of the atrip for public uses a a Street was complete and perfect, that if any had been injured It was James' C Ish, and that his rights were personal and did not pas to any of his grantees. An ordinance, passed In 183 de daring -the vacation of a strip of Locust street was by the same order of the court declared void, and Burbank was specifically declared to have no rights in the matter whatever. i ,. r . . t ' y'si for tathers' Street. Now, Cather owns th ground at th cor nec of Locust and , Twentieth, which has never been platted. On this he evades" th Keysor order as 'to dedication and come with some show of right to support his pre tensions. Several months ago he fenced in a stiip on Twentieth street and ha suc ceeded In convincing City Attorney Wright that he has a good, claim against th city. HI claim to tho Locust street strip is being pushed now for. the Mason that he wants to plat his ground at th corner and put it on the market aa lota, but desire to compel the city to pay him for th dedl cation rather than make It gratis, a I th custom. In the mind of many attorney a gray question exist a to whether Cather has any right In the matter, for title hav been passed for year to Locust street property, all with the understanding that the street Is open full width. As to Bur bank's claim no shadow for his alleged hold on the city exists, the court having held six years ago that h waa absolutely without right In the premise. But City Attorney -Wright"! said to favor th pay mem oi in claim ana that he will so recommend to the city council. Involve TircDty-Seeond Street, It I also understood that Burbank will et up a Claim to" a strip on Twenty-second street, alleging th same state of affairs. As the cty haiDOtlected taxes to pay for the cpat of opening Twenty-second street It Is notHl!kiy that the effort at a holdup at this time "will fcd through. '- Mayor MoomCiM fully advised" In' 'th premise aal.wUl do what h can 'to head off th teak' UaT.payBTS who own property in th district affected r Indignant at th proceeding, for if Burbank succeed in get ting his claim through the council over the maydr's veto If means that peoplu on Lo cust street will have to pay him for th traet th court has said Is theirs.

Wife Fell la Lot With "AH Over Again." Haahaad ' Th wife of a well-known attorney 'at law of Seward, Nebr. tell th tale worth reading: "My husband was a soldier in the Civil War and was, as he called him self, 'an' old coffee cooler and had always drank very strong coffee. "About a year ago he complained of a feeling of falntne every time after climb ing hi office stairs and waa also troubled by terrible headaches that almost drove him wild. - "He 'gradually grew weaker and weaker until his affliction culminated In nervous collapse and for weeks he seemed to be fading away frorn us In splje of all our effort. a "The physicians pronounced him strong and well with ho organic trouble whatever and there seemed to be nothing the matter except th complete giving eUt of hi nervous system. "The doctors decided that coffee was at the' bottom of all hi trouble and ordered Poetum Cereal In It p!ace. He improved dally since he quit coffee and began drink lng Postum and no says he' feel better than he ha felt for 90 years, headache are gone, no more fainting spells and is gaining In flesh every day and he seems so much younger and heartier and happier than he ha for year that I hav fallen In love with him over again. "Now for my brother' case; a few year ago he hadV a peculiar trouble. ' ' HI tongue waa swollen ' and sore at th root and covered underneath with festers. (H thought hi affliction waa of a can cerou nature and hi doctor waa of th am opinion. He could scarcely eat any thing and became so poor and run down he wa simply a nervous wreck. He con suited various physician but none were able to dtagnoae hi case or help him In th least. "At last a doctor to whom he applied said he believed my brother waa coffee poisoned and advised him to quit coffee nd drink Postum. He gave him no med iclne but told him to give Poatum fair trial and return to him in six week. My brother had used Postum only about ten days when the festers disappeared front his tongue and at th end of two week the soreness and swelling were gone and he began to pick up in flesh and spirits. "He has never touched coffee sine but drink Postum all th time and ha never had the slightest return of the trouble.

S.-Peae be tween Russia and Japan I now believed to be assured, th result of the action of the csaf. He and Foreign Minister Lam dorf hav considered the reply ' to the Japanese proposals. If Japan Is willing to accept some modifications there la nothing to stand in th way of a complet agree ment The conference between th csar and minister lasted an hour and a half, during which certain modifications of Japan's pro posals relative to Corea were decided upon. These were Immediately cabled to Baron da Rosen, th Russian minister to Japan, and Admiral Alexleff, the Russian viceroy In th far east. The latter probably will lay them Informally before the Japanese negotiators at Tokio. The modifications are said to be of minor importance. The convention will cover only Corea, Russia' acknowledge Japan's predominat ing Influence there, with the right to pro tect. Certain reservations are made re garding coast defences or stations', to pre vent any Interruption of Russian sea com munication with Vlndivoetock ahd Port Arthur, Russia's freedom of trade and con cessions which Corea has guaranteed. Separate Agreement for Maneharla. A separate understanding will cover Man churia, Japan agreeing to leave ths ques tlon of the evacuation In abeyance owing to Russia's political position and special In terests there, and undertakes not to Inter fere with them In return Russia is to acknowledge Japan's trading privileges se cured under treaties with China. Exactly what form the latter arrangement will take Is not known, manifestly, since it covers territory over hlch China exercises sov ereignty. Probably It will not be made th subject of a treaty, but will take the form of a note. If Japan is ready to make the concessions asked for by Russia It Is believed that only a brief time, possibly a few . days, will be necessary to reach the final step, of the negotiations, as Japan's acceptance will be followed by Russia's formal response. It is said that throughout the negotiations the csar was actuated by a spirit of moderation and the desire to preserve the peace. TOKIO, Dec. 8.
