of renown, civil engineers of highest stand
ins; and men eminent In all professions
mutt at last concede thai when It comes
to making; charges for expert testimony
, they are miserably modest, for all of their
efforts In fancy charging hare been made
to appear as four-flushes by three bills pre
sented to the Board of County Commis
sioners of Douglaa county. And who but
three p lumber should be expected to break
the record In expert , fees?
J. J. Hannlghen. Henry C Oradwohl and
Robert Parka of the proud plumbing craft
of Omaha are the men who must be voted
the medals for making out bills for expert
service. Iri October of last year those three
wise men of their calling were designated
by the Board of County Commissioners aa
the experts to examine rho plumbing and
heating plant at the county hospital and
report the repairs they, considered neces-
'sary. Acoordlng to the superintendent of
the hospital' the experts made two or three
brief visits to the Institution and looked
over the plumbing and heating apparatus.
Subsequently they reported to the county
board that certain repairs were necessary.
Then after the lapse of a number of
months they eaob present a bill for $300 for
this service. The Douglas county commis
sioners are aocustomed to receiving fancy
bills, but when they were asked to pay $900
for a few hours' work they gasped for
breath. As soon as they recovered their
self-possession they voted to reject the
bills.

Case."
Mrs. Mabel Chambers, who secured a
divorce a couple of years ago from WUlard
Chambers, the dancing master. Is making
a fight In Judge Troup's court for the cus
tody of her 9-year-old daughter, Halcyon.
At the time the decree of divorce was en
tered It was agreed that Mrs. Chambers
should have the custody of the child, but
a few months later she was Induced by
Prof. Chambers to place ths girl In a pri
vate school. Sines leavlpg school tha little
one has been with her father, who has mar
ried again.
The hearing In the present proceeding
cannot be concluded until next week snd
yesterday Mrs. Chambers, through At
torney H. H. Baldrlge, asked for an order
from the court allowing her to have the
child over Sunday. The application for
this order was stubbornly contested by
Prof. Chambers, whose lawyers argued
long and loud that the little one should be
left with her father until the conclualon
of the hearing. Judge Troup, however,
granted the mother's appeal. :

Erection of Power Hoaae an
the Soeth Side.
ahe Omaha A Council Bluffs Street Rail
nay company has taken out a permit from
the city for the construction of Its new ear
barn at Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets,

Lawrle are the architects and Rocheford
A Oould the contractors. A permit has
been Issued to Thomas Swift for brick fiats
at -ll North Fifteenth street, to coat

Headqnartere Will Be at Say re, If.
and He Is to Sneered J. A.
i
Droeae, Who Resigns
Position.
Word reaches this city that Robert M.
Baxter, formerly superintendent of the Ne
braska division of the Union Pacific, has
been appointed division superintendent of
the Lehigh Valley at Sayre, N. Y., to suc
ceed J. A. Droege, resigned.
Mr. Baxter has many warm personal
friends In Omaha, his home for so many
years, who will be glad to learn that he Is
again located In a good position In the
railroad business. He resigned from his po
sition with the Union Pacific about one
year ago and has been taking a rest, which
has been of great benefit to him. He and
Mrs. Baxter have spent the time traveling
about the country, having passed through
Omaha several times on their way to and
from the Paelflo coast. Mr. Baxter was
succeeded In bis position with the Union
Pacific by W. A. Deuel, who Is still with
the company,
"Bob" Baxter,' as he Is familiarly called
among Ms old-time friends In the west,
began his railroad career with the Union
Paelflo when he was a stripling of a boy
and with a slight break of a year or two
was with that company continuously until
he resigned Jast year. He and Edward
Dickinson were old associates on the Union
Paelflo when It was a new affair In the rail
road world and they boys. Baxter's first
Job was to carry water for a road gang
and from this humble station he moved
steadily upward until he filled the im
portant position of general superintendent
of this division, it Is said "Bob" Baxter
and "Ed" Dickinson know every inch of
Union Pacific track as well as a babe
knows Us mother. They were both
stanch friends of BUI Nye when the latter
was fighting with fame In Wyoming.
Harrlman Offices Contlnne.
Following reports whiA have been In
circulation during the last year the con
solidation of the offices of the various Har
rlman lines In the west has at last begun.
The second consolidation reported la that
of the offices of tha Southern Pacifio and
the Oregon Railway A Navigation com
pany in Portland, Ore.
The effects of the Southern Paelflo In
that city have been moved Into the head
quarters of ths Oregon Railway A Navi
gation company and all the business of the
former company In Portland will be trans
acted by the officials of the latter line.
The reports In circulation are to the effect
that at each point In the west where the
Harriman lines- are represented by more
than one office they will be merged, which
will result In the curtailing of expendi
tures to a large extent.
This action on the part of the Harriman
Interests, it Is supposed, will result in the
retiring of a number of employes. Just
how many will be forced to resign In Port
land Is not known. At a number of places
In the west the Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific, Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany and the Oregon Short Line maintain
separate offices and forces of employes.
The offices of the Union Pacific and South
ern Paelflo in San Francisco wexe recently
consolidated.
Mile of Graded Roadbed.
Almost a mile of grading has been com
pleted on' the Omaha & Southern, the elec
tric line which ,1s to connect South Omaha
and Paplinon.- The work has'been In- prog
ress but one week, but Is being pushed aa
rapidly aa possible. The company will let
the rest of the construction ' contracts the
coming week and' It Is expected the road
will be finished . from South - Omaha- to
Sarpy Mills within the next sixty. days.
Track will be laid as fast as the grading
Is completed and cars will be put In opera
tion as far as Sarpy Mills Just as soon as
the line Is built that far to accommodate
those wishing to visit that resort. There
will be a half mile race track built at the
mills when the line la completed and money
has been raised to build a resort there.

The petition and the answer In the di
vorce suit of Jessie Dickinson Lyman
against Dr. H. 8. Lyman have been re
stored to the files in the office of the clerk

waiving summons and service thereof and
answering plaintiff's petition, says: The
