"The Northwestern road Is preparing to
move 65,000 people to Dallas and Gregory,
S. D., for the opening of the government
lands In Tripp county, and at least 50 per
cent of these will pass through Omaha,"
said Frank Walters, general manager of
the Northwestern road, who has returned
from Chicago. "Tripp county contains 8.18,
000 acres, of which approximately 38,000
acres will be Ellotted to th. Indians and
?00.nr) acres will be allotted to the public, a
total of 5,000 quarter sections. The condi
tions are somewhnt changed from former
openings and as the land la most attractive
we expect to have all the people we can
assemble cars to handle during the dates
for the filing of applications and for regis
tration, i
"Gregory and Dallas are the most acces
sible towns to Tripp county, as they are
on the edge of the county and both on the
F.onesteel extension of the Northwestern
road. Both are new and up-to-date towns
with .hotels and sidewalks and other Im
provements and will be better prepared
for handling crowds than many towns
have been at former government openings.
No fee la charged for filing applications
and the cost of this land will be to an acre
for all lands entered before June 1, 1909,
and (4.60 an acre for all lands entered after
June 1. Tripp county contains some farm
ing land as good as any to be found any
where and these prises are surely worth
gulng after."
Applications for registration may be
made at O'Neill and Valentine tn Ne
braska, and at Dallas. Gregory, Chsmber
lain and Presho, South Dakota. The regis
tering points are at Dallas and Gregory
only, which arc on the Northwestern at the
edge of Tripp "county. Applications made
at other points than Dallas and Gregory
must be sent by mall or otherwise to Judge
K. W. Whltten of the Department of the
Interior, who has been appointed superln
tendent of the opening, by 4 o'clock p. m.,
October 17.
The date of he drawing Is October 19,
at Dallas. The allotment will be made at
Dallas sometime after March 1, 1909. The
government has made more liberal provl
slons than heretofore for old soldiers and
sailors and this fact, coupled with the high
character of the land will make the draw
lng one of the most popular ever held by
Uncle Sam.
All Business Improret.
Business on the western raili'oads con
tinues to Improve and the operating of
ficials expert to soon be taxed to their
capacity to handle the enormous business
which will be given them to haul. A year
ago the overland roada were doing the
largest business In their history and the
tracks were crowded until it was almost
an Impossibility to get trains through. In
fact, tha railroad men thought they had
reached the limit of tonnage for single
track roads. To relieve the situation the
Union Pacific was rushing double track
work that the pressure might be relieved
Then came the financial flurry, with orders
to stop all new work. The double track
builders were laid off and all new work
stopped. Business fell oft and the railroads
were, soon able to care for all business
easily. A month ago Mr. Harrlman went
west through Omaha arid the sight of thu
unfinished condition of the double tracking
was oo much for him. He gave orders
that double tracking be resumed In Ne
braska and Wyoming. That this track Is
needed, and needed as soon as possible, Is
shown by the reports of lncreasd business,
Although the business a year ago was
enormous, Wednesday of last week was the
banner day for all time to that date fo
freight business on the Union Pnrlfle In
Utah. Kleven great trains of freight o
4tl loaded cars were sent rolling eastward
from Ogden and ten trains arrived from
the east with 422 cars. Although this sur
passed the movements of last fall, the im
proved conditions of the road made It pos
slble to get these trains over the road
without the delays of last fall when th
line was congested.
Union rarlfle Doable Track,
Double track work on the Union Pacifi
In both Nebraska and Wyoming Is pro
gresslng most rapidly and will be con
tlnued until cold weather, puts a stop to
outside work. When this double trac
work It completed It will make Harrlman
the possessor of a double track road nearly
across tht continent, and when the double
track on tha Southern Pacific is complete
It. will make the highest ambition of Mr.
Harrlman complete. He expects to have
the Southern Pacific double tracked In a
few years, although thia will be a most
difficult undertaking. A single track road
across the Sierra Nevada mountains was
an enormous task and to double track It
will be nearly as hard a task aa the build
ing of the original road.

The registration yesterday and the total
of the vote, although rather light, thow
that there was no landslide tn favor of
either party. The balance between the
democrats and republicans In each case
was normal. The registrations showed a
ead over the democrats ofv 134, and the
total vote an excess of only 89. If tha
discrepancy means that tht democrats art
receiving support for the general election It
s very slight, being a gain of only 4o In
the city.
The primary in South Omaha was con
ducted quietly. The Dahlman men were
much In evidence. The fact that he was
ending tn South Omaha was soon evident
from the number of men being brought to
the voting places by his supporters. Tht
South Omaha candidates on each ticket
were well supported In the city. They were
on the street all day working faithfully.
The only precincts to get returns on part
of the ticket before midnight were the
Second of tho Fourth and the First of the
Fifth. In the First of the Fifth the dem
ocrats were counted first, and gave Dahl-
man. 33; Ehallenberger, 11, and Berge, 6.
G. M. Hitchcock got 41, and J. M. Tanner 81.
In the Second of the Fourth the repub
lican vote was counted first and thia gave
Sheldon, 38; Jefferis, 20; Saunders, 9, and
Blackburn, 12. Adklns received 38; McQU-
ton, 21; Swanson, 22; Fitch, 20, and Ber-
quUit, 11.
In most of the polling places tho counting
continued all night. The saloona were care
fully closed in South Omaha from 8 a. m.
to 9 p. m. No excitement or disorder was
reported. A police officer was stationed at
each polling place. No arrests Wert made.
Engineer Answers Critics.
Concerning the attacks vl local demo
cratic paper on the engineer's office the
city engineer, G. W. Roberts, said: "We
have been criticised for specifications, on
a foot bridge which equalled tn cost the
specifications of a wagon . bridge at
Twenty-fifth and Polk streets. "The foot
bridge Is at Sixteenth and I streets. It
does sound rather plausible on paper
without explanation; but It la like the free
fight, every head In sight gets hit, whether
thero is any merit tn tht attack or not.
"The most caaual glance at the specifi
cations themselves would have shown that
there was no discrepancy. The wagon
bridge is only straight work, a mere culvert,
twenty feet wide and forty feet lJhg, all
simple in construction. The foot bridge
spans a wide draw, with 490 feet of sidewalk
and three long flights of stairs leading
down to it. The bridge itself is 120 feet
long, built In nine bents and sands twenty
four feet above the surface. Our estimate,
lika all estimates. Is Intended to be liberal,
hut In no caae excessive. We realize that
the democrats must have something to
kick about or they could not exist; but I
Just call attention of fair-minded democrats
to the foolishness of such unfounded statement.-).
With regard to the use of my of
fice for a republican committee meeting, I
am confident that my memory recalls not
one but several similar meetings held In
the city hall during the last administration
by the democrats. I am sure if the demo
crats asked the use of the city hall the
mayor would be glad to grant It. If no
more serious error than that It charged
against this administration we will be
entirely grateful to the opponents who art
not usually considerate."

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Mercer Company Aska llamaaea
Condemnation of Ilnlld-Inars.
for
Formal claim for damages in the sum of
138.100 for the condemnation of tho old
Cambridge hotel, Thirteenth street and
Capitol avenue, was made to the city coun
cil last night by the 8. D. Morcer company,
the claim being accompanied by a long pe
tltlon setting forth the alleged facts In the
case and alleging unfairness and gross mis
conduct on the part of tho council and the
city building inspector, C. It. Wlthnell. The
petition was not read, but was referred to
the committee of the whole for discussion.
The petition alleges that, while the build
ing whs condemned April 17 last. It was not
Inspected by .the building Inspector until
three months thereafter, or July 16, und
that then the building Inspector but en
tered the office in the hotel building and
made no Inspection of the structure. Whtn
tho building was condemned It was done
solely on the testimony of the building In
spector, the petition asserts, no attention
being paid to testimony of a former build
ing Inspector, John H. Butler, and an archi
tect, George L. Fisher, and a number of
other witnesses, that Its structural strength
had not been weakened 50 per cent.
Work of Wrecking; Commenced,
On August 6 the building inspector, with
a crew of four men began razing the build
ing, working parts of four days. At tho
expiration of that time operations ceased
with a portion of the roof torn off and the
windows removed. The work of tearing
down the structure was begun while the
building was occupied and wiiout giving
warning to the occupants, it is asserted,
despite the weakening of the building by
the partlul razing process, It is shown that
It withstood a storm on the night of Aug
ust 6 and -6 In which a number of newer
buildings were racked und many plate
glass windows blown In.
It is also claimed that if the building was
unsafe last February, when condemnation
proceedings were befcun, It is doubly un
safe at the proisent time after the razing
crew spent four days oil It, but despilo
this no danger Blgris are posted and if the
building Is liublo to collapse at any moment
the public is nut warned of the fact.
After making this showing of what it
claims to be the facts in tho case, the pe
titioner quotes the law apd Intimates that
the council and the building Inspector did
not act with good faith.
In the event that the city council should
decide to issue a permit allowing the re
pairing of the building, then the Mercer
company will reduce Its claim for damages
to $,8X, the amount of the rent lost and
the expenses Incurred ,in placing the build
ing In the condition 11 was when tha raz
ing process began. If the petition Is finally
rejected, then the full $:J8,8lO. Including the
$30,0C0 as the value of the hotel, will be In
cluded. Counter Proposal on Jail,
The council rejected the proposal of the
county commissioners regarding the build
ing of a Jail for the use of county prisoners
while the new court house and Jail Is under
constructloni, and In turn decided to nuike a
proposition to the commissioners. This
proposition is that the city will construct a
Jail as an addition to the present city jail
at Eleventh and Dodge streets, will heat
and light It, furnish the kitchen and pro
visions for the prisoners, furnJsh a patrol
wagon for hauling the prisoners to and
from the court house and will move the
cells from the old Jail. The Jail Is to be
done January 1, at which time the com
missioners are to pay the city 118,000 In a
lump mm as rent for the time the county
uset It. When the new court house Is done,
the the city proposes to buy the cells at
the value set upon them at that time by a
board of appraisers.
Attorneys W. J. Connell and W. H. Herd
man sent a communication to tho council
proposing to reopen the old Georje P. Bemls
damage suit against the city and endeavor
to force the Armour company to reimburse
the city for the amount of damages paid
Mr. Bemls by reasorj of personal Injuries re
ceived from a falling billboard some four
years ago. The attorneys stated thai they
had secured sufficient evidence to place the
responsibility on the Armour company and
asked to be authorized to bring a case In
court, under the supervision or tne citya
legal deiartment, on a contlna;erjt fee of W
per cent. The city paid Mr. Bemls nearly
I18.0UO, famaget and Interest, last spring.
The proposition was referred to a com
mittee.
The council rejected the ordinance Intro-

of the "sheathed" dancer, who talked
freely with many, but skillfully avoided
any query concerning her name, and the
question of who she was corftinued an
