Politics Is said to be at the bottom of the move to oust tho Park board and the petition to take the appointive power out of the hands of the mayor end put It back Into the province of the district judges, The board Is composed of five members, three of whom are republicans, two demo crats. Aa the mayor Is a democrat. It Is srgued. that In all likelihood he would ap point a democrat to till the vacancy which will occur next May, and the political com plexlon of the board would then be changed. Another matter which also Is said to he close to the bottom of the case is the Cut-off lake park proposition. It transpires that some individual haa offered to donate the aum of $50,000 to 'the Park board, pro. vlumg the Doara appraisers hold the ap praisement of landa adjoining the lake at certain figure.

That a smooth land graft scheme Is be ing worked up In the vicinity of Valentine has Just developed through the Inquiry of eastern parties, who have bit at the scheme, asking for results. The Fort Niobrara military reservation has been the base of operations and the operators have been working the game from Indianapolis. The scheme was to sell section and section and a half parcels ot land at a stiff figure In townships 33 and 84, range 27, (of which the Fort Niobrara reservation la largely composed) In north ern Nebraska to Innocent purchasers. They were furnished abstracts of title from the alleged "Public Abstracter of the State ot Nebraska," who gave the name of Carl Henry Schultx. These lands are alleged to have been patented under the Klnka'd law during 1903 and were for full section tracts. comprising 640 acres. The Intermediary In the scheme was an Indianapolis realty firm giving the name of HunFlcker & Reed and the firm did a thriving business. The lands were sold for grazing purposes and it is only within the last week or two the Innocent purchasers have realised they were the victims of a colossal fake. In the first place, the Fort Niobrara has not been thrown open for settlement, but Is still under the control ot the War department, and in the second place, there Is no such an official In Nebraska as the "publlo abstracter." In the third place. deeds purporting to be given under patents procured under the Klnkaid law In 1903 are fakes pure and simple, from the fact that the Klnkaid law did not become operative until June, 1904. Judge F. M. Wolcott of Valentine, now In Omaha as chairman of the Cherry county delegation to the republican state conven tion, said: The fraud la one of the most brazen faced ever practiced In the state. -. The scheme seems to have originated In In dianapolis, and already we are being be sieged up there by Inquiries from Inno cent purchasers of these lands. The. ab stracts are made out in the usual form and seem to be legal In appearance, but are Invariably signed by the alleged publlo abstracter, and at! are located on the Fort Niobrara military reservation. The atten tion of the federal government has been called to the matter, but-as the fraud does not alienate the lands from the gov ernment. It Is up to the stata authorities to take cognizance in the matter.'

The Wabash railroad haa announced a through routing for freight from Kansas City and St. Louis to Baltimore. The plans for the through route to the east were begun about the same time as the construction of the Western Pacific to the coast, so It looks as though the Gould In terests would soon have a through Hue from coast to coast. Omaha will thus have a through route to the coast by the Wabash through St. Louis. The route Is by means of the Wa bash lines through Bruceton, Pa., and by the Baltimore & Ohio, 167 miles to Cum berland, Md., where connection Is made with the Western Maryland company. Later the line will be opened for through passenger service. In recent years no railroad has been watched with more Interest than the Gould roads in their efforts to build from coast to coast. The purchase of the Wheeling A Lake Erie railroad gave the Wabash a line from Toledo to Steuben vllle, from which point the line was ex tended , to PitUburg. The Western Mary land extends from Cherry Run, Md., to Baltimore. The Gould Interests are now building between Cherry Run and Pitts burg. The purchase of the Wheeling A Lake Erie also gave the Wabash a line from Cleveland to Zanesvllle, O.
