"Two proven facta need emphasis here:
Mere band training without thorough
moral,' religious and mental education
count for very little. The effort to
make an Indostry pay Its way should not
be made the aim of first importance."
And the book demonstrate the truth of
the statements.
"The Great Adventurer." by Robert
Bochelton (Doubleday, Page V Co.), la
confessedly a novel, but one which set
the reader to thinking, for though written
for amusement. It deals with a trust prob
lem and how a stupendous combination I
formed, what it doe and what becomes
of It, together with design and "the
woman," make reading for several sum
mer hours.
"Mediaeval England," by Mary Bate
man (G. P. Putnam' Sons), is a new vol
ume In th series of 'The Stories of Na
tions." The author In this work deals with
England from the Norman conquest to the
middle of the fourteenth century, and
makea more of the life In the home, the
farm and the town than of the political
history of th time, dealing with th con
dition of th people rather than with the
actions of the rulers, although these neces
sarily ar touched upon. The style is good
and the book shows the evidence ot In
vestigation. One . of the most important historical
work of the year from a political stand
point at least Is "The Republican Party,"
by Francis Curtl (G. P. Putnam' Sons).
This volume haa a foreword by President
Roosevelt and Introductions by William P.
Frye, president pro tern of the senate, and
Speaker Cannon. In 636 8-mo. page it
deals with the fifty years' history of the
republican party from Its foundation ' In
1864 to th present time. Th first vol
ume closed with the election of 1872, and
the second brings the history practically
up to date.
"American Immortals," by George Cary
Eggleston (O. P. Putnam's Sons) is a vol
ume dealing with the Uvea and deeds of
those who have "made the American re
public." No matter how the reader may
doubt whether these men made the re
publlo or whether it was made by the
"grand average man," who tolled and
fought and died without writing his name
on. the rolls of fame, the book gives good
but necessarily short blographle of men
who hav made themselves famous In war
and peace In the country front its foundation.

SAYS ML CKTS MIDLAND
Rumor in Railroad Circlet that Burlington
Acquire! Colorado Road.
WILL USE IT FOR A WESTERN OUTLET
.
Vallery'a Transfer from One Lino
Another la Regarded) a Evidence
that Rill Ha Tkla
Control.
A rumor la In circulation In railroad
circle to the effect that the Burlington haa
gained control of tbe Colorado Midland and
while the road will continue to be operated
under the present name, it will in reality
be controlled by the Burlington.
The appointment of George W. Vallery td
the position of general manager of the
property Is taken as adding weight to this
report. It is understood Mr. Vallery waa
tendered the position of general manager
of the property some time ago, but that
he refused to accept, and this also lead
railroad mon to believe that there may
be some truth In the report. Railroad men
say the acquisition of the Midland would
go a great way In affording the Burling
ton an outlet to the west and It Is thought
probable that If the road ha been ac
quired It will be completed Into Salt Lako
City, after which Mr. Hill probably will
arrange for his own outlet to the Pacllo
coast. He would then be in a position to
offer competition for -coast buslneas to the
Union Paclflo and Southern Pacific and also
would be located so that he could offer
opposition for traffic to George Gould when
his new line la completed from Salt Lake
City west'
Valoa Paclfle to Shorten Road.
It I understood th Union Pacific will
begin work within a short time on a new
cutoff to be constructed from Marysvtlle to
Topeka, Kan. The cutoff will be built for
the purpose of shortening the line from
Kansas points. Including Kansas City and
Leavenworth, to Omaha, and from Ne
braska polnta to Kansaa City,
The new line will be about eighty-seven
miles In length and will cut quite a slice oft
the distance by the present line from this
city to Kansas City, in fact, so much that
tt la bellefed the Union Paclflo will be
enabled to compete with other Un for
southbound business from this terfr.ory.
The double tracking of the Topeka-Kanso
City line will give the road ample facilities
for handling traffic into Kansas City from
the Topeka connection.
It la, acild the plans for the new cutoff
have been completed W Chief Engineer
Berry and that work will begun soon.
It is said to be the Intention of the com
pany to forego the usual applications to
counties and cities along the way for bo
nuses to assist In building the road and
that the work will bo done entirely by
Union Paclflo capital and that the right-of-way
will be condemned and bought out
right from the present owners. All ot the
people along the contemplated line are said
to be In favor of having It built. and will
lend all possible assistance in having the
project put through.
Former Sonth Omaha Man.
J. F. Vallery, who haa Juit received the
appointment of general agent of the B. &
M. at Denver, waa formerly located In
South Omaha, where he wa conneoted
with a live stock commission firm. After
leaving South Omaha Mr. Vallery went to
Cheyenne, where he acted as traveling
freight agent of the Burlington foe ome
time, from that point going to Denver in
the same capacity. During the last eight
year he has been in Wisconsin and Ohio;
most of the time acting a traveling freight
agent.. At preaent he. Is holding the JP?fit- i
tlon ' of general agent of the freight' de
partment for the Burlington la Cincinnati.
He will leave there within a few day to
com west and take hi new position in
Denver.
During hi long residence In Colorado
Mr. Vallery made many friends and ac
quaintances and he 1 considered on of the
best men In the freight business who ever
held position in the west.
Mr. Vallery was born and raised In
Plattsmouth, but was not connected with
railroad work while living In that city.
His extensive acquaintance, It I pointed
out, in the west undoubtedly will give him
a great deal of Influence- In the railroad
world In his new position.
Statement from Both Side.
A railroad man designate the fight now
being made by the Union Paclflo and Burl
ington against the Great Western to pre
vent the latter line from using the Six
teenth street viaduct as "another step in
the studied opposition of competing line
to prevent the Great Western from setting
up. an establishment in this city."
The plan a outlined by this official Is to
force the patrons of the Great Western
to drive into and out of a thirty-foot hole
In order to deliver freight to the proposed
freight' house of the Great Western and
thus force them to patronise line which
lease and use the Union Paclflo freight
house. -
Judge McHuph, attorney for the Great
Western, said , in discussing the proposi
tion: , "The fundamental principle of the whole
question Is, are the viaducts of Omaha
personal or' private property. In thl case
the Union Pacific and Burlington are try
ing to set up the claim that , they built
the viaduct and therefore It belongs to
them. The fact of the matter Is these two
roads destroyed the street' under the via
duct by rendering It unsafe to cross and
consequently the level of the street was
.raised to afford' a safe crossing and thus
remove ohance of loss to the two roads
mentioned.
"It might be possible tnt th Great
Western Could be forced to bear a part of
i the original expense of building the viaduct
if it had contributed to make unsafe the
crossing, but such Is hot the case. We
hav no tracks under the viaduct, but-lease
the Union Pacific track over which we
run our train and In addition to paying
rental for them we contribute our share
toward maintaining . th viaduct. Thl
whole matter haa been brought up within
the past few day.
"Bom tlm ago we seoursd the passage
of an ordinance through the city council
which embodied all that wo desired by the
Chicago Great Western. No protest was
made when the ordinance was before th
council by anyone excepting the city en
gineer, Who thought it possible that the
cfcty was not properly Indemnified in the
ordinance. For this reason It was vetoed
by the mayor and a clause covering Indem
nification to the city added, which was all
thut was asked by th city attorney and
engineer. Now when It come up for pas
sage again this protest is entered."
Edaon Rich, attorney for th Union Pa
cific, nld:
"Th Burlington and Union Paclflo built
tlio viaduct at a cost of $100,000 and now the
Great Western contemplates using It and
deriving aa much benefit from tt as the
roads which built It without paying any
thing, and jhls we do not propose to allow
If we can avoid It. Th matter may hot be
tnken Into court. It I now before the coun
cil and the hearing hua been postponed on
week."

Since the registration of lnndseekers on

up the railroads have been so annoyed by

steel or any of the other polnta where the
registration is In progress to employes.

tour and Is now an enthusiast. He said:
"Mrs. Austin, my son Wilson and myself
loft here June 20 for Chicago and other
points, and were gone from home four
weeks, traveling over 1,500 miles while
away. We used the machine all the way
to Chicago and return and toured Wiscon
sin without any mishap of any kind. We
gav no thought to speed except when we
came across a nice stretch of road we
made good time, but generally speaking we
took it leisurely and enjoyed ourselves
thoroughly, viewing the country and taking
photographs.,. It was a grand trip, and so
pleased are we with it that we have de
cided to visit the World's fair in Septem
ber with our car. To give you an Idea
of th possibilities ot the auto, when the
road were good, we rode from Clinton to
Chicago, a distance of 152-miles. In ten
hours. Including one hour from the Chi
cago limits to the Palmer house. Then
coming home from Chicago we made the
575 miles, as measured by our cyclometer.
In four days, and this, as said, was without
sacrificing pleasure for speed. On the re
turn trip from Chicago we did not hav
occasion to touch the tires or engine once.
Our tour of Wisconsin was exceptionally
pleasant"

LOUIS AND RETURN
JULY 18, 25.
The Burlington's St. Louis Flyer curries the handsomesjt of
chair cars (seats free) and standard sleepers; it is the only train
from Omaha stopping at Washington Avenue, in the hotel and
business district of Ht. Louis, in addition to the Union Station;
on the return this train leaves St. Louis at the desirable hour of
9.00 p. m.
The Uurlingon is the only line with its own train nerviee be
tween Omaha and Chicago and St. Louis, and in view,of the many
rates to the east applying one way via St. Louis, and the other
via Chicago, it can arrange the most desirable variable tours of
the east.
Call on me for special World's Fair Folders, for attractive
routes to and from the east, for berths, tickets, and for any infor
mation or assistance in connection witlryour trip.
