I i 5' J It II WIUBACH II VA.g I Union Pacific's roadbed In such notably good shape, reducing the mileage by taking out the curves and grades of the road and. In fact, of making It over. All this be did In the Ave years during which he was president of the Union Pacific, Immediately following the receivership period. Mr. Burt left the United Slates at San Francisco In January, 194. and went to Honolulu. Japan. China, the Philippines, the Island of Java. Fuinatra, Malays. Singa pore. Calcutta, India. Persia, through th Sues canal. Italy, France, Germany, Aus tria. Switzerland, Kngland and Ireland. A trip had been planned over the Russian Siberian railway, but the Rnsso-Japanese war made this trip out of the question. All of the resources of the road were used to transport troops and provisions to the front for the Russian army. Mr. and Mrs. Burt are stopping at the Tier Orand. H U K FROM THE FIRIMJ I.IXK lloldrege and Wlllard Heiara from Western Nebraska. General Manager lloldrege of the Bur lington west of the Missouri liver, and Dan iel Wlllard. second vice president of the system, have returned from a week's visit to the front. The battle is on around North Platte with the Union Pacific, and each road has a force of men striving to complete the road first, which will open up this fertile country. It has been given out officially that the Burlington has simply made a small start on the roads which will be built by It and under its direction In the Immediate future, and this activity of the principal officials of the road aeems to bear out that statement. The Burlington now operates and controls 8.S7S m!les of road, fifty-eight miles more than a year ago. The gross earnlnks of the road for the year ending . June 30, per mile were $7,436.tB against 7.C14 in 1P03-4. The percentage of operating expenses, in cluding taxes was 66.85 for the year against 88.34 the year before. The number of revenue tons moved one mile Increased .fifi per cent as compared with 1WB-4. and the freight earnings de creased 1.78 per cent. Passengers carried one mile increased 1S.32 per cent and pas senger earning Increased P. (8 per cent. The. percentage of operating expenses to gross earnings decreased 1.41 per cent. The groHH earnings of the road for IfoS were 6,973.fM5.5!. The hearing in the injunction matter per taining to the Union Pacific and Burlington set for Thursday morning in the United States circuit court has been continued until November 8. Additional stipulations were filed in both cases Wednesday evening. The litigation arises out of the building of a railway line from TIcrshey, Lincoln county to Bridgeport and Northport, Neb., along the North riatte. Both companies claim the right to certain territory and rights-of-way in that section, and hence each road has enjoined the other from building the contemplated line. RECEIPTS BREAK THE RECORDS Income at Omaha PostofBre Larger In October than Any Pre Tinna Month. The amount of business transacted by the Omaha postofBce for the month of Oo tober reached J64.705.61. the greatest In its history. The figures In detail are: From sale of postage stamps, $.14,973.81; envelopes. J7.5H6.66; postal cards. (5,656.15; books and stamp, $6.77. The receipts for the corre sponding month of October, 1904, amounted to (16,967.14. The October. 1905, receipts were consequently I7.74S.47 in excess of the pre vious October. Speaking of the matter, Assistant Postmaster, Woodard said: "The increase, 'while very pleasing, Is merely normal and not duo to any special splurge in th sains ef stamps during this period. The increase has been 'gradual during the year and is merely an index of the Increased business prosperity of this locality." OMAHA, THE TRYSTING PLACE Scene of Another Marriage In Which Parties Come from Opposite Directions. Judge Vlnsonhaler officiated late Wednes day afternoon at one of that class of wed dings for which Omaha aeems to "be a pop ular rendezvous. Lor an W. Teagarten came here from Georgetown, Colo., and was met by Miss Mabel E. Davis of Evans' Landing, Intl., and they proceeded to get married. The bride and groom have known each other for many years and, having agreed to become man and wile, decided to meet in Omaha. After the wedding the couple left for Denver, where they will make their home. Typewriter Improvements. The manufacturers of the Remington typewriter, not content with the state of practical perfection to which that machine lias already been brought, have added sev eral valuable Improvements to the 1906 model. Among' these are an Improved let ter spacing mechanism; a new variable line spacer, making corrections eaay and adjustment of the paper by hand no longer necessary; an adjustable side guide for lm mediate adjustment to any marginal inden tation: a new polychrome lever, making possible an Instant change in the color of the letters. All of these Improvements have been thoroughly tested and found to add greatly to the speed, ease and evenness of action and the perfection of the work. New York Journal of Commerce.

COUNCIL WILL NOT ACT NOW la lo flurry to Till Vacn,y, but Will Kt Wait Month. i MAJORITY MEMBERS NIT YET DECIDED Report 4 Ircnlated that Beach Taylor's tock Has Uone Ip and Taken In by Kite 4 sssellnea, The council majority will take a week or two at least to fill the vacancy in the body from the Fourth ward, according to its members, who say no caucus haa been he! I nor any decision arrived at as to the In cumbent. At Nebraska City Wednesday majority members say they refrained pur posely from discussing- the situation and tip to date have not ascertained their real and united sentiments. The stock of W. B. Taylor went up again Thursday In the gossip at the city hall. One of the minority members of the coun cil claimed to have information that five votes, or enough to elect, are pledged to Taylor at present. Among new names now mentioned for the place are R. C Patterson, A. H. Comstock and Beecher Higby, former city clerk. Councilman Schroeder was well -on his way to Rock Island, 111., on a business mis sion at the time of Councilman Nicholson's death. A telegram to him announcing th- fact did not reach him until Monday morn ing, when he started for Omaha.. A railroad wreck east of Ferry delayed him so ho did not reach this city until Tuesday noon, or Just In time to attend the funeral services at the Masonic Templo as pallbearer. At his cigar factory he was told that since the Fourth ward councilman died telephone calls for lilm averaged one every twenty minutes. He presumes they were all from councllmanlc aspirants. There Is no warrant for the report that because the mayor RURgested that Council man Nicholson's desk be draped for thirty days, the council will refrain that long from filling the vacancy. Market Master Oerke says under no cir cumstances will he be n csndldnte, for Nicholson's place. Some of Ills well-mean ing friends had started a boom for him, reasoning that although he does not live In the Fourth ward, he could either move Into It or the boundaries could be changed to suit. Oerke says he owns property In both the Fourth and Eleventh wards, but he is an avowed candidate for the repub lican nomination for the council from the Eleventh ward next spring and could not be Induced to change his residence. He is satisfied to hang onto his present job, if John T. Cathers will let htm, until the next municipal campaign. Swedish-American republicans of Omaha 111 meet In Washington hall, Harney and Eighteenth streets, Friday evening. Novem ber k, at 8 o'clock, to ratify the republican ticket which was nominated for election in Douglas county. Let every one who be lieves In good government which the re publican party has given us attend this meeting. All candidates are Invited. Con gressman John L. Kennedy will be the principal speaker. The meeting will be un der the auspices of the Swedish-American clubs of Omahs, the Douglas County Re publican ' club and the Swedish-American Republican league. "Doe" Tanner has taken his pen In hand to let some real light shine on the airy heft of drmoeratlo harmony. He writes In the last issue of the Dally Democrat, pub lished at South Omaha: Whatever money the democratic commit tee raised has been squandered in a- way that brings no results. The' members are at loggerheads, kicking at each. other, and some of them put in most of their time knocking demoeratls they do not like per sonally. The whole arrangement has been a Jnk. The committee is always belly-aching about not having any money. All kinds of money can be raised in Douglas county for democratic success If the right men go after the dough. If this bunch can t. get It, put men on the committee that the pro ducers have confidence will spend It as It should be spent. Unless a fresh barrel of gijiger Is opened up the event will pass off as practically unnoiicea, witn tne nana piaytng a airge and tne managers an last asleep. Speaking of the work of Emmet Q. Solo mon in the auditor's office, County Auditor Robert Smith says: "In his work In this department Mr. Solomon has proven himself an able and Indefatigable worker. He has taken the pains to familiarize himself with the con tracts let by the county and to see that the contractors live up to the specifica tions. It is largely through his good work we have been able to put the office on a business basis. "Mr. Solomon never plays for policy. He stands for the Interests of the taxpayers and he never thinks of backing down when he feels he is right, When elected to the county board It can be relied upon as ab solutely certain he will Insist that only such goods be bought aa are needed, and that they are secure at a fair price. "Since the present county board came Into control steps have been taken which will save thousands of dollars to Douglas county, In addition to the large sums al ready saved by a close scrutiny of con' tracts and the deliveries of supplies. In this work of retrenchment and of sys temlxlng the business of the county Mr. Solomon has been a foremost spirit. It Is only right that the voters should know this, In order to give credit where credit Is due." Emmet G. Solomon, candidate for county commissioner, was out to Elkhorn, Valley and Waterloo Wednesday. He reports prospects are flattering for the republican ticket In those precincts. William Klerstead and other directing spirits In the Fifth Ward Republican club have, on request of the candidates, called off the public meeting that was to have been addressed Friday evening by Judge Baxter. The club will meet at the desig. nated place, but will then adjourn to participate In a joint meeting of the clubs of the Twelfth. Sixth and Fifth wards, to be held at Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets. Judge Baxter and other speakers will address the joint meeting, which is to be Made a hummer. MILLARD DECLINES TO TALK Refuses to Say What He Will Do on llall-tay Rate Legislation Matter. In reply to a query from a Sioux City paper as to whether or not h would vote for a measure embodying substantially the president's illay late legislation plans. Senator Millard said: "I do not care to be quoted at all In the matter now. I am a member of the In terstate commerce committee of die senate. which 1 called to meet November 21 to con- , sider the question of rates as suggested by the president and to prepare a bill, if pos sible, mhlch we hope will meet the ap proval of the president and congress. "It Is entirely out of place for me to say now what I would do with regard to a bill that has not yet been prepared or con sidered by the committee.".

Rourke. went to Linci!n o look over the situation at that point with reference to placing a Western lear.ue ase ball team in the spring. O'Neill s:d: "Mr. Holmes met with the same reception at Lincoln that I did earlier In the year, and we think the town all right for a base ball team. They have had no good ball for some time and aro about ripe to pt- ronlxe the ganiP. We have a prospective purchaser for the St. Joseph team, so thut own may remain In the league next yenr and might be all right with proper manage ment. "This talk of dropping one of the Colo ado towns Is all rot, as we must have two towns In the west on account of the jumps and as long as there Is one Colorado town n this league there will be two. "The Sioux City papers have had the Colorado towns out of the league twenty times, and Carney, In an Interview in Bos ton, Bald the stime thing, but that does not make It so. The Colorado towns will re main. 'It does not look feasible for either To- peka or Wichita, and neither one of these towns will be given a franchise. In all prob ability. They art bound by an agreement and the draft price is 12. 500 a club, which would be pretty expensive for a small town like either of these. "We had thought of putting a team in Kansas City for this league and Tebeau was willing and had consented to the prop osition, but the other owners balked and the deal was off. "Tes, I have been trying to get out of the presidency of this league, as I want to get back to California, the land of sun shine and flowers, but they don't seem to want to let me go." LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. "-(Special Tele gram.) President O'Neill of the Western league and "Ducky" Holmes were here to night talking base ball preparatory to the Chicago meeting Saturday. Holmes wsnts to buy the St. Joseph franchise and put In a team here, and asked the citizens t6 give him somo kind of a guarantee, so he could report at the Chicago meeting. Although he did not reach town until late he had an opportunity to discuss the matter with a number of business men-, and tonight he said It looked like a go. Both O'Neill and Holmes believe Lincoln Is ripe for a team and will so report Saturday. Should the team bo placed here Sunday games will be transferred. WITH -THE BOWLERS.

Pittsburg, Clncinnaf Rheumatism does not come on in a ATM causes that produce it work silently in the system for years. This insidious disease becomes intrenched in the blood, and some exposure to cold or damp weather, or slight indiscretion brings on an attack. Poor digestion, stomach troubles, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver, and a general sluggish condition of the system are responsible for Rheumatism. Food souring in the stomach poisons the blood, the failure of the Kidneys and Liver to act properly leaves waste matter and impurities in the system, which, coming in contact with the natural acids of the body, form uric acid. This is absorbed by the blood, and as it penetrates to the muscles, nerves and bones produces the terrible pains and aches and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. Life is made a torture by its excruciating pains, nerves are shattered, the health un dermined, and if the disease is not checked it breaks down the strongest con stitution. It will not do to depend oo plasters, liniments, etc.; such treatment is helpful in easing the pain and reducing the inflammation, but does not reach the blood where the real trouble is located. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by purifying and invigorating the thin, acrid 3 w3 13 blood, driving out all impurities and poisons and V? v T, Sending a stream of strong, rich blood to wash J iVj ou a irritating particles that are causing the pain and inflammation.

ONE CAPTAIN PLAN TALKED Change May Go Into F.ffecT When Haae Leaves tbe Police Force. It Is not unlikely that when Police Cap tain Haze quits the force, which. It Is announced, will be some time between the present and the first, of the year, his place will remain unfilled by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. . There is a movement among the commissioners to re trench to the limit In framing up next year's expenditures, and It haa been sug gested the department may be able to get along very well with one police captain and one captain of detectives. 'The argu ment la made that when either had to be absent from the station a sergeant could be left in charge the samo as Is done at present. Commissioner Broatch said he thought quite favorably of the plan, remarking that he always had contended for rigid economy . and keeping the money spent within the amount made available through the taxes levied. "Tho department must have a number of new things next year," said he. "Tha patrol wagon Is all gone to pieces, and we must have a new one. Personally, I am In favor of an automobile patrol wagon, as I understand they have been used suc cessfully In a number of cities. "With regard to filling Captain Hazn's place, nothing definite has been determined by the board. In fact, the matter has not been discussed or the sentiments of the commissioners drawn out. I think we could get along without two caplalns. It has been done before and I believe It can be done again without lessening the effi ciency of the police." Other members of the board were more reticent. Ono declined to talk until Cap- ain Haze's resignation had been filed.
