"Bob" Smith's plea for votes en the
round that he alon la entitled to all the
dlt for money red th ta.xpe.rera atace
the. republicans reorcanlaed tha county
board haa not evoked unlreraal mpotiM.
One of "Bob's" chief polnu la that he
haa changed tha method of letting oon
traota by requiring bidders to stand by
their figures en each separate Item Inatead
of an tha totals. When "Bob" himaalf
waa In the grocery bualneaa ha waa look
ing for, publlo oontracta, but evidently did
not practice what he now preachea. An
Incident la cited by Superintendent R. D.
Stewart of tha School for the Deaf and
Durab,' a follows.'
"In UX4 w took blda for grocery sup
pliel for our institution and two blda were
eubmltud, ona by Robert Smith tt Bro.
and , tha other by Courtney at Co. On the
faoe of tt tha Bmlth bid waa much the
lower, figuring up E1, as against Court
ney'a $715, on the ltema Included in the
schedule. It should be known that we at
that time asked for blda for various sup
piles in quantities of tene. or multiples or
fractions of tens, reserving tha right to
order mora ar leea at tha same price. In
spection of tha Smith bid on tha supplies
that would be needed ahowed at once that
tt Waa carefully balanced and deliberately
juggled. Of the eighty-Are ltema Smith
waa high bidder on thirty-nine ltema, Court
ney high on thirty ltema and both bid tha
same on sixteen Items. The bid waa let
to Courtney on Its merlta and when the
vouchera were paid for tha months of April,
May! and June; constituting tha quarter. It
waa found by figuring th orders accord
ing to each bid that the state had sared
I67.M by accepting th Courtney bid, not
withstanding Smith's apparently lower bid.
At that 'time' Smith openly declared that
ha would get even with me and haa been
pursuing me with all sorts of falsehoods
ever since. But this shows what a great
watch dog ha la for the taxpayer when
he (a looking out for something for him
self. AH the original documents are on file
at the Deaf and Dumb school and are' In
disputable." A " member of the Central Labor unloa
wrltea The Bea as follows: " Tony1 Dona
hoe may expect every labor union vote, aa
you 'say, but ha will not get it He la too
much of a profeaslonal labor union man to
suit all of us. In the Central Labor union,
as everyone knows, there are two factions,
one the socialists and the other us regu
lars We ueed to put Tony-'on commit
tees to hold down the 'red buttons,' but he
almost always went in with them. Than,
too 'Tony' Is always preaching about hie
devotion to labor, but whenever ha Is sent
anywhere I always notice the bill coming
In for so much for his time and so much
for his traveling and meals and Inciden
tals. 'Tony' has always taken car to get
what's coming to him from union labor as
he went along."

In regard to the story of his special reg
istration In .order to be able to vote for
himself for county treasurer at the coming
primary, A. O. Edwarda sends the follow
ing "statement:
"On November a, 1905VI filed on 10 acres
of IMil In Deuel county, Nebraska, Intend
ing. at that time to establish my residence
on jny ;f lalm within atx months, as re
quired by law. Later my family refused
to move' from the city, as my children
were in scnooi. consequently my residence
was 'never established In peuel county, aa
stated In your paper, otherwise I would
never have filed as a' candidate for the
office of county treasurer for Douglas
couaty. Not having compiled with the pro
visions of tha law regarding the establish
ment of residence on homesteads, I re
cently voluntarily relinquished my claim
lo tHe government."
"Keep your eye on Furay in his race for
the county treasurer nomination," admon
ishes a fellow lodge member. "He will
run like an elk and win In a walk."
"Bill" Ure In effect accuses all th clerks
of the district court up to this time with
serving ss "Jury fixers' for the corpora
tions. The fact Is, all the Jurors ar drawn
from Hats made up by tho county commis
sioners, of whom Ure is one, and If the
Juries are not up to the mark th defect
must go back to the names Ure puts in
tha box.
"Mr. I've Is a public offtcer," says Clerk
of the Court Broadwell. "If he knew any
thing about Jury fixing anywhere it would
be hts place, under his official eath aa well
aa in his private capacity, to present
the facta to the grand Jury as grounds for

Noon Monday
The Nebraska Railway commlaslon and
Attorney General Thompson filed their an
swer In th United States circuit court
Saturday morning in the matter of the in
junction applied for by the American
Wells-Fsrgo, United 8tstes, Pacific and
Adams Express companies to restrain the
enforcement of th Sibley law reducing the
express rates In the state of Nebraska U
per cent.
The answer denies every material allega
tion made in the bill of complaint by th
express companies. One of the essential
grounds Is that the amount of money in
volved Is less than the Jurisdictional amount
of $2,000. Another Is that there Is no cause
for an application for an Injunction on the
ground that the Nebraska Railway com
mission and the attorney general already
have a suit pending In the Nebraska su
preme court to test the constitutionality
of the law, which Is one of the points made
by the express companies in their bill of
complaint and hence there Is nothing to
enjoin. Th answer further admits the
Isw has been passed by what is known as
Senate file $56, was approved by the gov
ernor July 5, and that the law la valid,
but that the question of Its validity still
lies with the supreme court of the state
and until the question Is passed upon the
express companies have no cause for ac
tion. The answer therefore asks that the
bill of complaint of the express companies
be dismissed with coRts of suit.
Thompson Files a Demurrer.
Attorney General Thompson of Nebraska
has filed a demurrer in the United States
circuit, court against the bill of complaint
for an Injunction In the matter of the
several express companies doing business
In the state and asks the dismissal of the
bill at the costs of the complainants. The
grounds for the demurrer are the lack of
Jurisdiction In that the suit is directed
against the state of Nebraska and not
against the several Individuals constitut
ing the Nebraska Railway commission and
the attorney general of the state. The
demurrer holds it Is not within th Juris
diction of the federal courts to enjoin
criminal or other proceedings prosecuted
by the state of Nebraska.
The express companies are given a rea
sonable length of time to file supplemental
answers, when the case will be argued upon
Its merits before Judge W. H. Munger.
LAKE CLUBvFOR GAS PLANT
Improvers Launch Movement to la-
aa Millon and Hajf Donda
as Means.
The Lake Improvement club at Its meet
ing Frldsy night launched a movement
having for Its object the Issuing of $1,500,000
In bonds for the construction of a municipal
gas plant. The club proposes to have the
ordinance submitted to the voters under
the initiative and referendum at the No
vember election, provided the council does
not pass It.
A. F. Wilson and J. H. Wlnspear made
the report to the club on the gas propo
sition and presented an ordinance and peti
tions. Each member of the club will circu
late the ' petitions to secure a sufficient
number of names to authorise a submission.
The ordinance provide that Mr. Wlnspear,
Mr. Wilson, I. P. A: Breuchert, Maurice
Terkelsen and F. B. Kingsbury shall be
agents of the city to Investigate and pre
pare plans for the conduct of the plant.
They are to be paid at the rat of $4 a
day each and expenses.
' The streets and alleys committee waa
directed to enter a protest against - the
allowing of tha final estimates on the
paving of Lake street. It was asserted
the concrete base In many places was not
more than three and one-half Inches thick,
while the contract called for five inches.
The principal objection waa to the con
dition of the sidewalks, members of the
club asserting they had not been replaced
as the contract directed. .
The club endorsed John O. Yefser for
district Judge, pointing to his work in
securing the passage of the Initiative and
referendum law. The club also commended
County Treasurer Fink and Councilman
8heldon.
BOOTBLACK . AND CASH GONE
Clarence Taylor and Honey Dlaan-
pear at Sam Time from Mer v
ckants Hotel Barber ghop.
The barber shop of the Merchants hotel
Is shy a colored bootblack and also ttt.U.
The bootblack's name la Clarence Taylor,
but It will be "pants" If the foreman of
the barber shop can succeed In laying hts
hands on him. So fsr aa can be ascer
tained nobody saw Colonel Taylor take
the money, but alnce both disappeared
simultaneously there Is a lurking suspicion
that perhops the money ssw the bootblack
going and getting lonesome decided to go
with him. At any rate detectives are now
endeavoring to And tho address of Clarence
Taylor, feeling that success In that under
taking warrants triumph In the task of
locating the money. -
The money waa In the register of the bar
ber shop, which la In the rear rf tha bar
at tha Merchants, and as no one else was
present and as Colonel Taylor waa only a
substitute bootblack whose time was about
up, It la not considered at all strange that
he and the money should have disappeared
at one and tha same time.

E. H. Harriman refuses to confirm ths
statements of his subordinates that the 2
cent fare haa wrecked his chances of mak
ing a living. Mr. Harriman la said to
have sent private advices to New Tork that
the Union Pacific, as well as the Southern
Pacific, will break all records In 'earnings
this fiscal . year. In the first six months
of the last fiscal year the biggest one up
to date the net earnings were 119,000,000
for the Union Pacific; According to tha
statement credited to Mr. Harriman, th
net earnings of the Union Pacific for the
same period this year, June to December,
will be 1:0,000,000, 13,000,000 more than a
year ago,
. According to the Wall Street Journal,
the organ which has never been unfair to
railroads, a rough estimate of the trafllo
situation shows the Union Pacific in tha
flrst six months of the current fiscal year
will earn about 1C)4 per cent on Its com
mon stock, or enough to pay a full year's
dividend.
It Is now earning at .the rate of about
M per cent per annum. While there Is
fair assurance that this will be maintained
up to the first of 1M, It would of course
be fatuous to attempt to look beyond that.
Of this 10H per cent prospective earnings
for the first halt of the fiscal year about
4 per cent Is produced from investments
and about SVs per cent from transportation
business proper.

after operating expenses and taxes. At the
minimum, between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000
Increased business Is in sight In the cur
rent six months. Out of this the Union
Pacific should be sble to save at least
$1,200,000, or enough to make net earnings
for the current six months $20,000,000. Pos
sibly tny will be mora, than this. The
figure Is conservative.
By proportioning the year' a "other In
come charges and preferred dividends"
on the alx months In question, It Is evident
that Union Pacific will earn a balance for
Its common stock In the current six months
f between $20,000,000 and $21,000,000, or 10Vs
per cent, as fellows:

Fixed Charges.
Tha fixed charges of the Union Pacific In
the current fiscal year should amount to
about $10,600,000, possibly a little mors. Last
year they amounted to about $3,600,000.
There will be outstanding this year $75,000,
000 of 4 per cent convertibles, tha Interest
charges on which will swell fixed charges
about $1,000,000. This will be offset between
$750,000 and $1,000,000 by the decrease In
loans outstanding and bills payable which
bore Interest in the last fiscal year.
ILast year the "mlscellaneoua Income" of
the Union Paclfio amounted to -slightly
more than $1S,000,000. In the current fiscal
year Is should be slightly more than $15,
000,000 at the lowest.
The Union Pacific has this year some
what more than $36,000,000 of Southern Pa
cific preferred Instead of 118,000,000 as last
year. The additional dividend from South
ern Pacific preferred will amount to about
$1,150,000 for the year. Similarly, Union Pa
cific's holdings of Bouthern Pacific com
mon this year will draw $5,400,000 In divi
dends, provided the regular dlvldenda are
paid, Instead of $4,600,000 as last year.
In other worde the additional Income
from Southern Pacific holdings is sufficient
to swell the Union Pscifl's miscellaneous
Income to over $15,000,000 or at the rate of
$7,500,000 for the flrst six months, as Is
shown in the above table.
Th Union Pacific's Investments are so
many and are so ramified that additional
Income or reduced Income 'Is possible In
certain cases. In this connection It Is well
to point out that the distribution of $1 per
share on the Great Northern Ore certificates
means upwsrds of $90,000 to the Union Pa
cific, and if $2.50 Is ultimately distributed
this yesr as Is expected, the Income from
this source will smount to nearly $250,000,
whereas nothing waa paid last year.
HARD LUCK STORY STICKS
Tale of Mlafortnne Told r Al Ken

, from law
When Al Kennedy, the man who was
accused Friday of stealing a $2,000 Mitchell
car from the Uerger ' garage, was
brought back to Omaha he told a story of
misfortune and 111 starred . enterprise thst
he, was released by request of Mr. Berger.
Kennedy was supposed to hsve taken the
caV during the night from the locked gar
age by breaking Into the front door or by
dodging out with It during the evening
when the place waa open. 'No one knew
Just how he had got away. He waa caught
at Logan,' la., and Detective McDonald
went for him and made him delve the
machine back.
I was trying to make money for you.
Mr. Berger," he said Saturday morning.''
"Two fellows hired me to take them over
Into Iowa at $5 aa hour going and coming,
and they went until they owed me $50. At
daybreak the gasoline gave out, and when
we stopped at a village they gave me a

COMMITTEE ON ECG-O-SEE
Omaha Will Send Men to Investigate
Eastern Plant.
CASSIDY PROPOSAL DISCUSSED
Wattles, Drake, Byrne and Guild Oo
Over the Plan and Practically
Reach, a . Decision
So Act.
A $500,000 cereal plant for Omaha was tho
subject discussed by Q. W. Wattles, Luther
Drake, T. C. Byrn and J. M. Guild at
luncheon at the Omaha club Saturday.
The written proposition of President Cas
sidy of the Egg-O-Sce "company, setting
forth the conditions under which It would
erect a factory In Omaha,, was read and
discussed. It requires that Omahans tsko
$600,000 of percent bonds, security being
given on the new plant and the company's
two factorjes at Qutncy, III., and HufTalo,
N. T.
It was practically decided that a commit
tee would be selected to visit the eastern
property of the company and to thoroughly
Investigate Its financial condition.
The general opinion expressed st the
meeting was that Omaha will be able to
secure the factory If some railroad or ter
minal company Interested In the establish
ment of a big Industry on its grounds will
take half of the bonds. It Is figured that
the railroad which gets the plant on tta'
tracks could earn $100 a day In switching
charges on grain coming Into the factory
and on product going out. So with a $30,000
annual Income aome railroad could afford
to Invest $250,000 In bonds.
In casting about for other Interests which
would be financially benefited by th loca
tion of the factory In Omaha the conclusion
was reached that it would pay some local
bank to take $60,000 of the bonds in order
to secure tha account of the company. It
was thought that the development of the
grain market resulting from a factory in
Omaha would warrant the Omaha Oraln
exchange in taking $50,000 of the bonds.
There would still be $150,000 to raise from
other sources. It Is believed the money can
be raised and the plant secured If somo
railroad will Invest $.50,000; If not, tha gen
eral sentiment la for letting th project
