Other Roads Charles Frederick Spear, financial editor of tha New York' Evening Mall, was re- ' caiitly sent West by his newspaper to make a Investigation of the physical condition of the Missouri Pacific railroad for the benefit' of the Investors. Mr. Spear's re port, as published in the New York Mall, la as follows: A great deal ' of ' misinforms tlon ia cur rent In tha 'East, and particularly In Nw York banking circles and among that nu merous class which draws It conclusions from Stock market quotations, rather than from Intonate knowledge and personal In vestigation, concerning the physical condi tion of the Qould system of railroads and Us present earning capacity. Tp obtain at first ha.id the exact status ot these lines a representative of Tht Evening Matt made a trip ot lnspeoilon over the main stems, as well as the most ' Important' laterals and fredera, of the roads comprised In the Qould system. This In spection covered about t.COO nillea. Nearly as many more was gone over on lines par allellng- and competing with the Oould roads, to form a basis of comparison, both from the standpoint of physical state, stia tcgle position, relative tonasga capacity of the tributary country, and in order to gain an Idea of hew tar the Qould roads were making tha most--of their advantages, which they (dined through early occupa tion of their territory, and whether com petitors who entered the field after they had "been eutabllshsd were taking luslness from-them.

New Holing; In Damage Salt. LOGAN. Ia.. May 34. (Speclal.)-A ruling by Judge Green was received here Saturday on the motion to get aside the verdict of the Jury and order a new trial In the $50,000 damage case against John F. Ffarr, Hugo Gehert and W. 1 Hunt, merchants, brought by Lee Chapman to recover for loss of society and service of his wife and three children, whose death was caused in the use of oil purchased of the defend ants at the Flsgah store as coal oil, and used as such in building a fire at the home of Mr. Chapman. May 12, 1907. In the No vember term of court the Jury returned a verdict under the peculiar Instruction of the court for $2,000 damages for Mr. Chap man. The defendants secured a new trial, and In the March term the Jury returned a verdict of $2,100.80 damages. The de fendant still considered this amount ex cessive, and made a motion to set aside the verdict and order a new trial, but the court did not rule on the motion, but took It under advisement. In the March term of court, me jury was instructed mat me. plaintiff could only recover for loss of his wife's society and labor from the time she was Injured until the time of her death, which was eight months; under these In structions the Jury awarded Mr. Chapman $300 damages. Judge Green in his Judg ment reduced this amount to $& The total amount, $2,106.80, awarded by the ver dict of the Jury Is thus reduced to $1,356.80 to compensate Mr. Chapman for the loss of his wife's and children's society and services, or a new trial will be granted the defendants.' Owing, to Mr. Chapman's limited resources, he has decided to accept the former. KNOX COLLEGE WINS MEET Central Illinois Schools Have First . Track Meet In Peoria. PEORIA. III., May 24.

Heddlng r.. Worm a 1 failed to score. Noted Eastern Financial Writer's Findings. Buffalo to Detroit, ' Jointly operated with the Qrand Trunk, and the line from De troit to Bt. Louts and from St. Louis to Kansas City were Inspected. For purpose of comparison generous parts of the Southern Pacific, AlchUon, Union Paclfio, Missouri, Kansas and Tex as, Alton, . Burlington, and Pennsylvania were traveled over. In a less .cartful way small sections Of the Kansas City Southern, Rock Island, Frisco and Colorado South ern were studied. y The conspicuous fact about the Go,.ll rallroed situation Is that credit, sufficient to complete the large projects under way and to raise the different lines to thtlr maximum of efficiency, has been lacking for a year or more. All systems have ex perienced the same misfortune, but the Qould lines probably mora acutely than any others. The inquiry naturally la made wh& such a condition of affairs exists. Out ot it haa grown the effort to show that It was due to the poor physical coadltion of the half dosen prominent members of the Qould railroad family, and to the fact that these lines were contributing, from their treasuries, to the eost of constructing the Westsrn Pacific, which glvea tha Goulds an outlet at Salt Lake City to the Pacific coast territory. The latter Is aa absurd an argument as could be imagined and scarcely deserves aerloua consideration. The actual facta in tha case will be dealt with later in thia aeries of articles. The Qould management has undoubtedly bsen guilty of some financial blunders There have been radical and rapid changes In operating forces, especially on the Mis souri Pacific and Wabash lines, which have tended to a certain amount ot disor ganisation and a contraction In the val uable asset of esprit de corps. Probably too much has been attempted simultan eously and coincident with great general scarcity of funds for corporate Invest. ments. A close study of the situation makes it plain that none of these mistakes has been ot a permanently serious ebaraoter. 61ml larly there are several other factors at 'ork that hay current Influence of a msr or leas damaging strength,- but which are not. likely to prevail long. Tha effect of them Is already wearing off. Chief amonc these latter Is tha inlsrep. reeentatlon made of tha condition of the Qould lines, mainly In Missouri and Kan sas, by members of railroad labor organise tlona In retaliation for the defeat of the striking operators Of the Western Union a Qould corporation. Then there was the esmpalgn of coercion which the Track men's union waged' against the Missouri Pacific, and out of which grew the order of the railroad commissions of Missouri and ef Kansas limiting tha speed of par aenger trains to twenty-five miles an hour ort, atcount of alleged Vad condition of track. This order was effective but a short time.- It caused a split in the Missouri DAHLMAN AND SHELDON WLR Mayor and Governor Make Addresses to Lincoln Aerie of Eagles. HISTORICAL SOCIETY BUILDING Site Parrhased by Cltlsens of Lincoln Approved by Governor and Organ isation, nnd Appropriation ia Available. . (From a Btsff Correspondr nt.) LINCOLN. May J4.-(Spolal.) Mayor James C. Dahlman of Ornaha delivered an address todsy at trro Lyric theater on the occasion of the first annual memorial serv ices ot tha Fraternal Order of Eagles of this city. Governor Sheldon was one ofv the speakers and during the services at tention was called to the fact that a dis tinguished cltlsen of Lincoln, W. J. Brysn, had been recenty invited to deliver an ad dress In Omaha on a similar occasion. Ac companying Mayor Dahlman were Presi dent T. J. Flynn and Secretary Dan W. Canon ot Omaha aerie No. 88. The serv ices were condueted by President John J. Ryder of the Lincoln acrle. Mr. Ryder also delivered a short address on the prin ciples of the order. The services were beautiful and Impressive. Nine chairs, draped in mourning and decorated with flowers, bearing the names of the dead members In letters of gold on purple rib bon, were placed at the front of the stage In view of the lareg audience. An equal number of candles were extinguished, one at a time, as the name of each dead mem ber was called by the secretary. Vshers presented each woman with a flower at the door. Mrs. LUla English ot Lincoln sang two beautiful solos. Rev. P. M. Orr ot St. Mark's Reformed church delivered the in vocation and Dr, George W. Martin gave an address and the closing prayer. While speaking of the remembrance of the dead. Governor Sheldon gave his endorsement to "mothers' day," which wss recently ob served here by the wearing of white flowers. Mayor James C. Dahlman made an earnest and impressive address on fra ternalism. and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Historical Society Building-. The $25,000 appropriation made by the last legislature for a. basement story of a fire proof building for the Nebraska Historical society In Lincoln la now available, the conditions of the appropriation bill having been complied with. As a result of this the city of Lincoln becomes the undisputed possessor of the city hall block known as haymarkot square, of whlch it has had possession of for twenty-five years or more, and in return the city gives to the historical society a building site of equal value. Oovernor Sheldon has Issued a prtclamatlon approving the now, site di nated by the city at the corner of Six teenth and II streets, across the street from the southeast comer of the state house grounds. Hnymarket square, which the city retains, was formerly the property of tha historical society, but was transferred many years ago by act of tho legislature to the city of Lincoln. The six lots given by the city to the historical society have been approved by the society and the gov f rnc-r, as required by the appropriation bill. They were purchased by contributions of citizens amounting to $27,000 and the con tributors will be reimbursed by future tax levies to be made on city property. W. J, Bryan, Charles Bryan and P. L.

Saturday, May 30, the State Association of Letter Carriers will meet In annual convention In Lincoln. Not only will there be a large number of letter carriers in at tendance, but tho postmasters presiding over letter carrier offices will also be here They Stand in Comparison with commission. Gov. Folk, after going over the condemned tracks, said of the commission's recommendation that It was absurd. The writer passed over in comfort some of those portions between St. Louis and Kansas City, and on the main line of the Iron Mountain system, that had been sub ject to "slow down" orders, at a speed ot 60 to 70 miles an hour. President Oeorge W. Stevens, ot the Chesapeake and Ohio, who went, south over the iron Mountain road last week, wrote to Vice-President C. S. Clarke commending the condition of the track. The publicity campaign of the Track men's union brought forward several hun dred photographs taken by the promoter, a lawyer named Shepard, of Fort Scott. Kan. These were obviously selected Illus trations of bad track. Standing alone they looked very damaging. But a good portion represented conditions on branch lines, some of them side tracks. One might eas ily have formed the opinion from a super flclal study of them that the Missouri Pa- cifio was rapidly going to decay. A photograph of some of the present rails on the Vandalla main line east of St Louis, if It were to be the final Judge of the physical condition ot that road, which is standard for Its territory, would also make a very bad Impression; equally so a picture of the long grass growing between tha Union Paclfio tracks on the Denver Kansas City division might be put forward as evidence that that property, standard for physlcial excellence west of the Missis sippl, was being badly neglected If one were to limit his observation to stretches of road Of an Infinitesimal part of a mile. The Gould lines, in particular those wes of the Mississippi, have been pioneers They are the first in the minds of the po pie. Consequently, the accumulation ' o grievances, whatever 'their Justification, I greatest against them. It waa noturr. therefore, that they should be selected scapegoats when the fury of anti-corpora, tlon and antl-rallroad legislation swnpt over the land. . The hindrances- and annoyances have done damage; they have cut Into reverses and aiTHeU vicuit. Dut liny are r'plU'.v being outgrown. It Is out of such material as this that the coat of misrepresentation has been cut and an undtscrimlnat'.ng pub lic has put it on. Meanwhile the Gould lints have not lost sny value In the way of geographical posi tion; in the occupation ot the most rapidly growing tonnage producing territory in the United States; In co-ordination ot the main parts of the so-called Greater Missouri Pa clfle system; In ability to economlcsUy handle traffic and to quickly force their lints Into sections now lying dormant but possessed of wonderful possibilities from a traffic stsndpolnt. Such sections exist all over the Southwest and West. Wherever they are you will be pretty likely to find there a secret Gould tap of cue sort or anotheaj r , , . In forre. Already letters of acceptsnec have been received from the postmasters at Omaha. South Omaha. Beatrice. Kearney, Nebraska City, Columbus, York, Alliance, Schuyler, Crete, Chsdron. Blair, Button, snd Wood River, and many others are ex pected. At 7 o'clock In the evening the Lincoln I-etter Carriers, branch No. , National Association of Letter Csrrlers. will tender a banquet at the Llndcll hotel to all dele gate and visiting postmasters. United States Sena'cr Elmer J. Burkelt will be present, and. If congress adjourns In time, Congresmen Pollard and Klnkald. and pos sibly Congressman Hlnshaw, will be In at tendance. A representative from the city delivery division at Washington will alsa be In attendance to represent the depart ment. Representatives of the press and prominent men ot the stste have also been invited to be at the banquet. On the same day the postofflce clerks of the state meet to form a state association, which will bring to Lincoln a large number of this branch of the service.

SOLAN GETS ONLY HIT OF TEAM Hollenheck Pitches Great Gam. Flelda Well nnd Flgnrea In HKtlnsi and Rnns Cham plona Go West. Omaha. S; Des Moines, 0., Nothing pops with Omsha nowadays but hutout victories, and all teams look alike three In a row. Joe Dolan made the only hit Sunday off the superb pitching ot Hollenbeck. whn e shut the Boosters from Pes Moines out by the score of 8 to 0. In the first Inning Dolan hit one over the head of sfrmg for single and that was (he only sign of a hit for the visitors during the nine Innings. Hollenbeck was most of , the show, and Ithotigh the field was extremely muddy, so that fsst fielding was out Of the quer. tlon, he pitched a. remarkable game. Ho pased five and gave bases to two bats rr.en by hitting them wHh the ball, but thoy did not come neT to making tha circuit Of the bases. Holly also caught two of the Boosters napping off first. That was not such a hard feat to perform when the mud around first base waa considered, but It helped to keep down their chances of scoring. He made five assists and a put- out, a hit and a run. Two Thousand Take Chance. Fully 2,0(i0 fans took chances on there being a game, which was quite doubtful until nearly time for the gam to be called. Brother Dave then ordered the ticket sell. era to get busy and tho long lines In front of the ticket offices were soon disposed of. On the Inside a sad sight was presented to the fans. Heavy mud seemed every where, but a force of n en put some dry dirt around the pitcher's box and around first and'the home plate, so that by the time the game was half over the or.ly really bad place was around first hase. It waa quite remarkable that In spite ot the slippery going not an error nor a sign of an error was made by either team, all the fielding and throws being sharp and clean. No bases were stolen, as the going was too heavy for that, but House holder, Austin and Hollenbeck beat out bunts In spite of the mud. Opposed to Hollenbeck was the great WUherup, the crack pltehr of the Des Moines team, "fresh from Boston with his New England airs. He learned a few things about the game before the Omuha team had finished making those eleven clean hits. He pitched good ball at that and did not pass a man nor hit a batsman. How First Rnn Was Made. The Rourke fsmlly made the first run of the game In the second Inning; and It took three singles and a popup foul to make It. Three singles were made without man crossing the plate. Householder opened the Inning by laying one down in front of the plate and then beating it to tirst. Welch followed with a corking drive to center field and Householder went to third. Bolden struck out and James Austin beat out a nice bunt, filling the bases. Gondlng popped a high foul toward the bleachera. which Dwyer caught, tut he fell in catching tho ball and Householder trotted home. Two more runs were made In the seventh Inning, which cinched the game as long as Hollenbeck could keep his gait. Austin tarted the Inning by striking out, but not so with Johnny Qondlng, who lined out a single toward 'Dexter. Hollenbeck" beat out a bunt, but King could only hit a little fly to lawyer. The hope of the tana waa then centered on Captain Franck; who made good by hitting a Texas leaguer over Joe Dolan'a head for a single, on which Gondlng and Hollenbeck trotted home. No game Is scheduled for today, as tne team la traveling to Pueblo. The score: OMAHA. BH. R H- O. A. King, 2b Franck, s Autrey, lb Householder, If.

He had tha Job ot keeping tha balls wiped dry. Whan Householder laid down his bunt the ball stuck inthe mud and refused to travel so that It was an easy one to beat. Dnlan tried to stretch his single into a double, but he did not reckon on the good throwing arm of Belden, who nailed him at second. Dwyer knocked a hard one to Belden In the second Inning, which knocked the little right fielder off his pins, but he held on to the ball. Pa Rourke has a new find. It la Noah on the coaching line. He haa a voice which very much resembles that of the under taker In the melodrama. Austin came very near to beating out a grounder to Dolan. He 'slid Into first head foremost to beat it and many fans thought he did, but the ump said nay. Welch had Ma batting clothes on sgaln and made three hits In four times up.

Only the seventh son of a seventh son has tha gift of hidden water knowledge. With hla witch haxel wand and tnero is no authentic Instance where a true water witch failed ha can locate well or un derground channels to a depth of . forty feet or a little more. He will hold his forked awitch In both hands and circle about and when he crosses above a vein of water tha butt of tha awitch Utnds downward with irresistible force, thuj locating, aa by very magic, tho spot a which he advises the digging of the well. Tha government geologist smile broadly t the claims of tha born water finder with tha witch haael wand; nevertheless they do a 'little well-finding themselves once In awhile, but based on geologic knowledge of water-bearing gravela and rock formations, nor are they limited to any forty or even hundred ft depths at which they will promise tho discovery of the Uauld mineral. What would have been thought a century ago of a man that would predict that water would be found in a certain spot at a depth of 3,000 feet? Either that he waa a consummate liar, or, If he were so unfortunate as to live to see his prophecy fulfilled, ho would have been pronounced a .lealer In the black art and a fit subject for burn Ing at the stake. Yet this is exactly what has occurred in an Instance Jut made public by the United, State geolog ical survey. The Black Hllla region of South Da. kota is a dry country and the water sup ply problem Is In many cases a sorlous one. . Several year ago one of the rail roads which runs through the south end of the Black Hills concluded to sink a well and applied to the United States geological survey for advice aa to the underground conditions. N. H. Darton, survey geologist who has spent some. years studying the geology of tho Da kotaa, mad ths prediction that the region of the proposed well site was underlaid by water-bearing sandstones which at a depth not greater than 3.000 feet would probably furnish a good supply of water, so the well waa bored. Mr. Darton slated that some water might be struck In the red, aandy limestones of tha carbonifer- ou formation, ana n we , but be advised that provision should be made to bore to the .lowest sandstones, the base t which would probably be en countered at a depth of about 3.000 feet. Prophesy BiaM o Few Feet. The water was found in these sandstones .known s the Dead wood formation which began at t.KO feet and was pene trated to a total depth of 1,90, whn tho flow of the wall amounted to 600.000 gallons a day under a pressure of seventy-five pounds, giving an ample supply for the railroad's needs and constituting on ot the roost noteworthy artesian wells of the country. The water is of a uniform tem perature of 123 degree Fahrenheit and of good quality, and the supply fully Justifies Ihe great expense of the undertaking. Sev eral times the projectors f the enterprise were on tho point of giving pp tli work, but they were urged to continue, the geol ogist being confident the prospers war ranted boring to the lowest straturp. When tha great flow was struck, after boring more thsn 1,950 feet, the wster proved bad; It was Impregnated with mineral matter and valueless for boiler use. The railroad people were In despair, but again appealed 1o the government geologist. Mr. Darton expressed his belief that the main flow from tha lowsr sandstone was good, and that, as the lower portion of the well wss not cased, the mineral matter had come down from the red beds above the water bearing sandstone. Accordingly, he ad vised the sinking of a casing, so as to cut off the source of eontsminatlon. This was done and with the most satisfactory re sults. All of which goes to shew the im mense economic Importance of the under ground water studies of the federal geolog ical survey, and to what extent science may be depended upon to point the way for ths practical development f natural resources.
