"If the Sioux City, Homer A Bouthern

the Oreat Northern out of the Winnebago

says Commissioner E. J. McVann of the
Commercial club. "Exclusion from the
reservation would necessitate a very round
about way Into Sioux City, while the Great
Northern people are looking for a short
line.
"A decision on the part of tho secretary
of the interior that the Great Northern

I do not expect to soe James J. Hill lose
out at the hands of the Department of the
interior. The law provides that where a
railroad has heretofore been constructed,
or is in actual course of construction, no
parallel right-of-way within ten miles on
either side shall be granted by the secre
tary of the interior, unless. In his opinion,
J public Interest will be promoted thereby,
V. That last clause Is the Qualifying factor.
There la no reason to suppose that the sec-
Wary of the Interior will not deem it con
duclve to the public interest to allow James
J. Hill to build within ten miles of the other
road."
MARRIED OLLIE IN OMAHA
Mraatn Intrntor and
Heiress Came Here
Ceremony,
Hyde Park
for the
Edmund C. Morgan, Chicago
Olive Cowan, Chicago 1
This announcement of the Issuance of a
marriage license by the clerk of the county
court of Douglas county, published In The
Ilee last Saturday, didn't tell much of a
story to Omaha folks, but It did set tongues
to wagging over In Chicago. It seems that
the parties were of sufficient prominence to
make the marriage noticeable, even In Chi
cago, and they were sufficiently secretive
to not care to tell any of their friends
their intentions. But the hews got out, and
here Is the story as told In the Inter Ocean
of yesterday:
"Ollle and I are married now. Will write
to mother later. ED."
This laconic telegram to Chicago relatives
of Edmund Morgan yesterday solved the
aisappoaranre last rnursiiay oi Airs, unve
Youmans, a handsome English heiress, who
hfi ri,ri,nt I v hMnma orv nnnillnr 111 Hvdfl
Park society rlrcleB, and announces the fact
tnat Mr. Morgan, former presiueni or mo
Morgan Electric company and nn Inventor
nd member of the Goodman Manufactur
ing company's staff of electrical engineers,
is a ben' diet.
Mr. Morsnn left Chicago two weeks ago
for the west. On the evening of his le-
arture a dinner was given by Mrs. you
mans at her residence, 6ll Calumet avenue.
Mr. Morgan s mother. Mrs. W. Reed, and
hn II. Morgan, a brother, were among tna
guests, but none suspected they were par-
tnklng or an advance wenoing repast.
Mrs. Youmans oismissea ner servants in-
eflnltelv lest Thursday and left without a
word to anyone.
Fellow club members and nustness col
leagues of Mr. Morgan saw his name on
tie list of marrlRKe licenses in an ymana
newspaper. The applicants Tor a license
were Edmund C. Morgan and Olive Cowan.
'Cowan. Cowan. said Mr. Morgans
friend snd relative. "Who can that be?
About the time everyone was reaoy to
give up guessing the above telegram was ra
ce! veil hv Mrs. Reed at her home,
Greenwood avenue.
Mrs Darwin R. Dnuglnss. r40ft Mtarr av
enue, wife of Mr. Morgan s former nusiness
partner, Is an Intimate friend or tne Drine
and she explained that Mrs. Youmans
maiden name was Cowan.
The Calumet avenue residence or tne
bride will remain closed all summer, and It
is believed that Mr. Morgan will tour tho
west on a combined honeymoon and busi
ness trip.
Mr Mnrcrnn is a hrunett. She IS tne
daughter of a prominent English family and
an heiress to conslileranie weami.
Mr. Morgan grew up as a farmer noy in
Kendall eonntv. Illinois, but at the age of
IS he became Interested In electrical prob
lems. During the Inst ten years he has in
vented the Morgan third rail electric motor
car and other successful electrical devices
and established three large plants for the
manufacture of electric specialties and rail
way supplies.

PUZZLE OVER PRIMARY LAW
County Clerk Cannot Get Direction
Election from BecreUrr of Btate.
for
Speaking of queer mishaps in railroad
ing, here Is one told by Freight Conductor
A. Jesman, lately in the service of the
Illinois Central:
'We had a train from Waterloo, la.,
bound to Frecport, and were making a faRt
schedule, keeping eighty trains ou the
move. We had a stop about fifteen miles
out of Freeport to leave a car of oats,
We knew exactly where we had put this
car, but when we looked over our train it
was gone. We hunted high and low,
wired to Independence and the Intermediate
points to see If It had been left, but got no
trace until No. 2 passenger passed us on
the road. They reported having seen a
car lying In the ditch seven miles In the
rear. We ran back to see and found our
missing cat1 of oats hottomsldn up at the
side of a curve. A Journal had broken In
front, letting the car drop on the wheels.
This uncoupled the drawheads, and the tilt
Of the car did the same with the following
car. The momentum of the cars following
as too engineer slackened for the curve
hurled the disabled car from the rails Into
the ditch, after which the drawheads of
the two sections came together and locked
again, and we pulled the seven miles to
the station none the wiser. Some of us In
the rear of the freight had felt the slight
shock as we passed the curve, but until
aftorward gave the matter no thought."
AT SEA AS TO PREPARING THE BALLOT
Difference of Opinion Exists as
to Whether County I'ommls
rtoners Shall Re Elected
This Pall.
County Clerk Drexel and his office force
are In doubt, and the doubt Is growing In
Intensity dally, with regard to Just what
they are expected to do under the new
primary law. Mr. Drexel Is as yet unable
to get from the secretary of state any
Information concerning Its operation. It
has been expected that the secretary would
send out to the county clerks a circular
of instructions, as has been done In other
states where a primary law is in opera
tion, but so far even copies of the law
as amended and passed have not been
available. The supply Is said to have been
exhausted.
One point that Is particularly puiillng,
seemingly, to the offlcluls charged with the
preparation of the primary ballot is that
provision relating to the rotation of names
on the ballot. Outsldo of candidates for
the different offices those who desire to be
committeemen In the various precincts can
get their names on the ballot by handing
their applications to the county clerk and
do not even have to pay a fee. It Is ex- i
pected there will be a good many such as
nlrants for the committee, and to rotate I
their names on the ballots will mean an In
creased printing bill.
Work Will Re Heavy.
County Auditor Bmlth and Deputy Solo
mon have been doing some calculating and
Mr. Solomon goes so far as to say that the
work Involved will be much greater than
Is generally thought. That is, If the sup
position Is correct that many candidates
for office and for committee places are go
ng to file. In any event, they affirm, the
printing bill will constitute the big end of
the cost of the primary election and the
county officials differ from $2,500 to $5,000 on
the possible cost.
Some delving genius had raised a serious
question as to whether the county commis
sioners do really hold over for another
year. He has figured It out that they do
not, and the. men Interested are busy ex
amining Into the provisions of house roll
31B, the bill affecting the commissioners.
There is a provision In the bill which rcn
tlons certain action to be taken in counties
of a particular population "after the next
state or national census," and it Is asserted
by some of the "wise ones" that the terms
of the law, when legally interpreted, will
be found not to affect the terms of the
present commissioners. Others assert that
In this county Commissioners " McDonald
and Hofeldt will hold over, while Commis
sioner Kennard will be compelled to run
again this fall If he desires to remain on
the board.
Many little curlycues of the new law are
being uncovered and held up to question by
men of a critical turn of mind and alto
gether aside from the discussion of pros'
pectlve candidates there Is a plenty to. keep
the denizens of the county offices keyed up
to concert pitch from the beginning of their
eight-hour day until the end thereof. '

Children when teething, especially during

Mr. Holtorf camo to Omnha thirty-five

the head of the auditing department of
the Union raclflo Railroad company for
many years when that road was being
