i ether unique statement of Michael Drun
ky, who liven at Twenty-second and Jef
ferson streets, tin I the owner of lots
:. ? and 22 of block S In Albright a Annex.
According to his statement the county road
passes through the three lota and tukes
tip three-fourths of the property, and yet
he' hs been paying taxes on three Iota
for seventeen years. During this time h
has built several fence and buildings,
which, if the present survey I correct,
stand on the space designated aa the alley.
Action baa been begun to cause Mr. Brun
fV.y to move his building. And on this he
makes the declaration that the alley take
from him tho other one-fourth of his three
Ims. Here he makes tho pertinent Inquiry
hs to where he la to borne In. He says the
buildings and fences have so stood for ee"
eral years without complaint. The county
id runs diagonally through tho property
and so trtkes up one-hBlf at the least, and
imsslnly the three-fourths. , If the line of
the alley is changed., very much where It
parses along tho north side of the lota
there " w ill not be much left. Mr. Brun
xky says" he has puld taxes on three full
lots for seventeen years and how It hap
liened that he received no compensation
when the road pusscd through his holdings
Is unexplained. It mny also be that even
If his buildings are found to be on the
alley they cannot be moved by the statute
recognising undisputed- iwssesslon. His
principal re'iurxt In the case, however. Is
that the city engineer make a new and
accurate survey of ' the street and the alley
which appear to encroach on his land.
The counc'l will make a canvass of the
lute special election and an official declara
tlon of the result of the same. It may
be thiif some of th preliminary steps will
be taken for the carrying out of the will
f the people as to the Issue of bonds to

the specifications and plans of Andrew
Rose water are both generous and ample
and the surplusage from the building of

dHte arty section for which provision has
not been made In the general plans. Such
Is already the enactment of the council.

HOW CHINESE DODGE UNDER
Inspector Mansfield Tells of Their
Kfforts to fiet Into lotted
Stntea.
Chinese Immigrant Inspector Manxilc-ld
w;is doing duty lit the Immigration Inspec
tlon service 'along the Mexican border In
Arliona before bring assigned to Omaha
and he tells aome Interesting stories of the
schemes adopted by the Chinese and others
td get across the line Into the United
States.
"Bret Hurte was not very far off when he.
said. 'That for ways hat are dark. etc..
the heathen Chinee Is very peculiar." They
resort to every possible and Ingenious ex
pedient to cross the line into the I'nited
States, not only as smugglers, but to get
Into the country to stay. Schools are
operated In some parts of Mexico where
the Chinese are taught just enough Eng
llsh words to answer the necessary ques
tions to ge(. across the line. And It is not
often they are caught wrong In , their
answers. Of course we could catch them
on any defect In their papers, but some
times they would put up an extremely
plausible story about their papers being on
this side and that they were not imme
diately at. hand. They would refer to some
well known and reputable Chinese on this
side of the line as vouchers for them, and
how they bad Just gone across the line
temporarily. Intending to come right back.
Then they would tell a pitiful story about
their trying to make their way to San
Francisco to return to China.
"I would not want to Impeach the varsc
tty of the average Chinaman, but as a
rule 4 hey can put up Just about aa smooth
a story aa a man cares to listen to, suffi
cient to dece ive the very elect. Then with
their peculiar clothes and thick-soled shoes
they are enabled to do all sorts of smug
gling of small things. In fact a Chinaman
can hide mure contra band stuff about his
person than you can get In an ordinary
trunk, and keep it hid so effectively a to
defy discovery.
"Another emuggllng aclfcme that Is prac
ticed along the border Is In the matter of
clothes. White men do a thriving business
In this way, though they are sometimes
caught. The plan Is to put on an old.
worthless ult of clothea, go across the line
and buy a new suit and wear .It bach.
Ordinarily a man Is iiermltted to enter the
country with the clothes he Is wearing, and
there Is a certain . exception of other
articles. I have known Instance where a
limn caino Imck across the line with three
or four suits of underwear on him and
two or three suits of clothes. This is espe-
j'cttlly easy as lejiards summer wear and
tiboiit the only way tue smuggler can be

down to a tine point along the liorder, and

; be on the lookout for them."

TIMELY TALES OF TOURISTS
Charles H. Pickens Telia of Omaha's Good
Standing in New York.
L. S. REED BRINGS NEWS FROM PACIFIC
A. W. Jefferta Itetoroe from toother
Mootaaa Impressed with Fntore
Creators of That Part
of tho roaatry.
Charles II. lickens, secietary, treasurer
and general manager of the Paxton ft
Oallagher whuleaale grocery company, re
turned last week from a business trip to
New Tork City, bringing the report Ust
Nebraska and Omaha are being well and
favorably advertised throughout the east.
Mr. Pickens was surprised at the knowl
edge of the conditions out hre at the
command of the bankers, financiers and
business men whom he met. They all de
clared they were aware that big strides
forward have taken place during the last
few years and that the outlook Is brighter
than ever before for commercial pros
perity .and advancement.
Said Mr. Pickens:
"My trip necessarily was a hurried one
and I did not have as much opportunity
to else up the east from a western stand
point as I should have liked, but I met
quite a number of bankers, brokers and
others who keep more or less In touch
with things out here and they all dis
played the greatest interest In the west.
They were particularly ke, Inquiring
about the developments such as manifested
In railroad extensions and irrigation proj
ects. Without exception they had beard
of Omaha's progress and they peemed to
think It quite in the course of natural
events coupled to a live and energetic
city.
"They based their long range views on
the conditions from noting 'he Increase
In the volume of general business, in
crease in the hank clearings, success and
growth of the Grain exchange, the busi
ness done by the packing houses and the
figures for the amount of building con
struction and the gain over previous years.
I found a few who had not seen The
Bee's New Year's edition, so I took their
names and have arranged to send thein
copies. I considered that the best way of
driving home their good opinions and giv
ing them something more definite to con
sider and talk about.
'I had sent some of the piixe-wintiu.g
corn at the Ak-Snr-Bcn show to some finan
cial men In New York and I found they
had hung up the ears in the office. The
cobs had been nearly divested of kernels
by men amused at the sise of the ears
and kernels. I have had a number of In
quiries as to where similar seed can bo
procured for it Is a very different kind of
corn than they are used to in the east.
"I observed they have doubled the prices
nt the Hippodrome, where Help Dundy and
his imrtner seem to be making a grcut
deal of money, The prices now range from
1 lo I:1. 50."
Lewis U. Red and wife have returned
from a trip to California, where they
visited all the principal cities on the cciAt,
making a thorough study Of the conducing
as they exist.
"The trip to Ixjs Angeles on the new
San Pedro line was full of interest in many
ways, but the road runs through a for
saken country," said Mr. Reed. "Walcr
Is the crying need of that section and
plenty can le grown where water can he
obtained. The railroad has many of the
springs corraled and has g sort of corner
on, the water market.
"Thousands of cars are on the siding
awaiting the time to transport the fruit

gelea Is a Hue spot and Is supported by
visitors and people who have made their
money In the east and have gone there to
reside, It has the disndvantage of being
twenty miles from the sen. San Diego
and Santa Barbara are more pleasant lor
a sojourn. We crossed lo the famous
Coronado beach, which Is only hnlf a mile
wide. The people of Ban Diego have great
expectations because of their deep, water
harbor. Kenator Clark is having the gov
ernment expend large sums on a break
water si San Pedro, the present tertuiniis
of his line from Halt Icke. The soil Is
productive when water can be secured, the
climate mild and the air fine.
"We went via the coast line to 8an
Francisco and stopped at Ranta Harhara,
and Monterey. Ran Francisco has some
magnificent buildings and more are being
erected. The St. Francis struck me us
being a model hotel with all the rooms
facing the outside world, and I brought
home ground plans for Ideas for the build
ers of the new hotels In Omaha. The St.
Francis is being made one-third larger.
The main floor Is a model with its library
and parlors and waiting rooms, the dining
room being two stories high."
Robert McVicker passed through Omaha
last week on his annual trip to bis old
home at North Rend, Neb. He is now a
resident of the West African gol4 coast,
where he is operating a cyanide process
gold reducing mill for sn Rnglisli company.
His father. Captain McVicker. also for
merly of North Bend, Is in the African
hush country, too. engaged in the construc
tion of cyanide plants. Mr. McVicker says
the work In the gold nilnVa is done mostly
by native labor and difficulty ia encoun
tered at limes in getting a sufficient
supply.
The ores run from $6 to i per ton In
gold. It Is thought an entirely new process
must lie devised to get the full vulue ex
tracted and that considerable of the
precious metal is now wasted. Transporta
tion Is another problem bothering the
miners and cuts into the profits, but Mr.
McVicker 'says there are a number of gold
mines being operated and the country is
a rich one.
A. W. Jeffries returned last week from a
trip through southern Montana filled with
an abounding faith in that part of the new
country. lie la willing to give It as his
candid opinion that attractive futures exist
for young men with plenty of stamina and
nerve who s? out there prepared to endure
hardship until fortune rewards theni.
"1 rode through part of the country
with Governor Brooks." said Mr. Jeffries.
"He Is very enthusiastic for the future of
his state. From whst 1 could see his
optimum was well grounded. There is lots
of talk iilxiut railroad projections and
parties of surveyors have been busy near
billings and through the south part of
the state for some time. The building of
the Milwaukee road to the coast or to a
coast connection is looked upon as an
assured thing and considerable construe
tion of new lines by the Great Northern
and the Burlington Is expected. The Crow
Indian reservation In Montana is t. b
opened to aettlera this summer and a big
boom and heavy colonization la anticipated
to follow. The Indians on the reservation
are showing commendable progress in the
ways of civilisation and last year raised
something like 30.0U0 bushels of grain. Big
Irrigation projecta are under way that
promise much, one of th. chief works be
ing on th. reservation for th. benefit of
lands to be retained by the Indians and built
with money taken from th. amount set
aside to pay the Indiana for the land that
is to be taken from them and wpsnsd to
the whiles.
"Mills sr. being built In numbers and
there Is every Indication that th. country
is developing and striking a pace of greater
productiveness."
OUR LETTER BOX
Wooeter oo Pass (taeattoa.
SILVER CREEK. Neb., Feb. 1.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Looking over an old
Impressions book, under date of February
I. 18. I find a letter to Oeneral Charles F.
Mandersou In which It said:
Remembering a conversation I had with
you some years ago In regard to the pass
question, which you will prolmbly not re
call, I write you ns one of the general offi
cers of the Burlington to offer a sugges
tion which, I trust, you will take under
serious consideration.
I am of the opinion that If the railroad
companies of Nebraska would unite on
two bills, the one prohibiting all free trans
portntlon of passengers and the other re
ducing fares to 3'i cents per mile, cause
them to be Introduced In the legislature
and In good faith try to secure their enact
ment Into law. It would be one of the most
popular things they ever did. put thetn on
better terms with the people and. In the
end. be to their miamia! advantnge
An
anti-pass bill should be sweeping and strln-
gent in its terms ami one inst rauroaa rx'O
ple themselves would feel bound to obey.
And they, better than others, would know
how to draft such a bill.
General Manderson didn't seem to take
kindly lo my proposition. But, In view of
subsequent development. I am satisfied
that my advice was timely and good. I
wish now to renew my suggestion with
this modification, that the passenger rate
be made 2 cents Instead of 2 cents. The
railroads would do well to make a virtue
of necessity and take the Initiative In this
matter. If they don't the next legislature
will be likely to do so. The people will be
demanding a ?-ccnt rate, and an nearly all
republicans have recently got pious on the
railroad U"itlMi, they will he only too
anxious to have a law preventing their
earning thoe hateful railroad papers
which burn their pockets.

tor of The Bee: Whoever has attentively
medilated on the Immoral, political and

Is now a spirit of investigation and Inquiry
among men Into the past and present char

which nothing can stop or even control.
Mr. Roosevelt recognises this spirit and is
contributing all In his power to check and
warn the courts and ti usts of the Impend

Reproach, obloquy, threats and precau

opposition and endanger violence, but thev
cannot shale the spirit and keenness of
this research Into the practice and methods
of the lives of men In whom they have
been deceived, wronged and robbed, men
who have contributed nothing to the moral
or material welfare of society outside of
what they own unci control personally, and
only. To the thinking nnin there Is a silent
march of thought, which will detect all
hypocrisy, deceit and fraud, and it Is not
difficult to see will lie marked by Important
events all over the nation. Mankind were
never before In the slttintlon they now
stand. The press never thundered such

Suffering with a violent form of religious
fanaticism, Anson D. Kby of 4V" Notih
Nineteenth street was srrestcd yesterday
afternoon by Patrolman Shields and le
tectlve PruThmy and booked nt the city
Jail on a charge of Insanity. Kby's ease
ls one of the worst of the kind to be te-
corded by the police for many years.
Kby's hallucination Is that he bellow
he Is an agent of Ood and empowered wltn
authority to perform a certain work Iti
Omaha In particular and the I nlted Stales
In general. For several days he flooded
the newspaper office with Incendlaiy
"messages," In which he conderMied the
president, threatened the life of CM-f of
Police Donahue and railed against C?.tl."l'
Iclsm. He was kept under surveillance,
and as soon as his screeds became of a
dangerous character he was taken into
custody, lest he might do some harm In
his diseased state of mind.
Though wildly Incoherent In text and
dangerous In character, Kby's communlc ti
tlons are neatly written and grammatically
correct. From IHfH to li8 he taught In ihe
Tlazxard school In Florence precinct, and
now claims his father Is teaching school
at Crab Tree. Ore. Kby la 3 years of age
and single nnd for some time worked as
a trui ki r In the local freight houses.
Prom Uod Almighty.
His letters arc signed "Isaac Dushong,
agent for Ood, through Anson D. Kby.
From Ood Almighty." Kxplalnlng this
strange superscription, he said:
Isaac Mushong Is a man manged from
on high. This means by God in a way.
which Is to show this world that aerograph-
is only In the hands of said Isaac
Kushong. Now, Kushong can see all things
on this earth. Kby Is to write how near

will declHre the truth. One ivord more:
This earth must search for Isanc Lliisnnng.
Amen From Ood, most High, through An
son U. Kby.
Kby declared he was merely an instru
ment which recorded the messages trans
mitted from Bushong by "aerography."
Chief Donahue called on Kby In the cell i
room yesterday afternoon. The prisoner
"Wnnediately recognized the chief and said:
"Now. chief, 1 hope you won't think there
Is anything between us personally, but I
have to do these tilings, as there is n '.
higher power which commands nic"
Condemns Washington Morals.
Kby rushed into the office of an army
officer at the Department of the Missouri
headquarters and handed him a bunch of
his communications, saying he hud a com
mand that the documents be forwarded to
Washington. The papers, containing severe
arraignments of the nationsl morals, were
