The work of building four through lines from the bridge to Summit is complete and the road is now ready to plant some grass seed along the right-of-way. Mr. Park says he favors the plan of parking the tracks and depot entrances and building tree or shrubbery fences, snd this policy has been earned out for some time in many of the smaller towns along the Union Pacific. That road has been making vast improvements along Its right-of-way in building double tracks and enlarging the trackage " facilities at many of the station, and this has interfered to a large extent with the plans for beautify ing the grounds around the station, but as much of this work.

SAYS HE IS NEPHEW OF BRYAN Throws Fit la Woman's llonte and U Carted Oat to Jail and Next Day Fined la the re liee Ceart. Frank Dunlop. for years distinguished around Omaha as an "Impersonator," has fallen into the hands of the police of Den ver and Into the papers of that city for long stories and large photographs of him self. According to the Times and Post, Dun lop has ben panning himself oft as a nephew of W. J. Bryan, throwing fits and writing bogus checks and, the Times says, made a "daring attempt" to swindle Mayor Speer and the city. Dunlop was very generally known in Omaha for some years. He finally got Into the employ of the Great Western and sud denly got out, and sinco then he hss been "better" known than ever In this city: Here Is what the Denver Times says of his case: Dunlop, It Is charged, e .deavored to In duce the mayor to let him have the audi torium for a six-day roller skating race and aa an evidence of good faith sub mitted a draft for tl.ou), drawn upon his wife atvCresiun, Ia, thiougti the Denver National bank. This draft, according to Chief of Police Armstrong, is worthless. As a result Dun lop was refused the use of the auditorium. Evidently he had hoped to make a neat sum of money without any further capital than an unlimited amount of nerve. At the time he sprang the SI Oou draft on the mayor he was questioned by Chirf Armstrong, but released because he had not injured any one. Chief Armstrong had him brought to headquarters when circulars advertising a six-day roller skat ing race and si. helling entries for it made their appearance In the city. Dunlop was given to understand he would not bo per mitted to pull off the race. For the past two weeks the police have been looking for Dunlop. Not a trace of him could be found until Patrolman Schmitt happened to arrest him yeeterday afternoon on the charge of disturbance. Schmitt did not know Dunlop was wanted ror uttering worthies checks until Special Officer Jack Payment, while in police court this morning, happned to see Dunlop on the "mourners' bench." Payment notified Chief Armstrong, who detailed Detectives L'atick and Mulligan to rearrest the man. Lansrhs at His Lack. Smiling because he had escaped with a IS fine on the disturbance charge, Dunlop stepped off the witness stand, when the detectives informed him of the serious charge preferred against him. Dunlop Is charged with giving worthless checks to Miss Kate S. O'Brien, manager of the BrownleigSi Arms hotel, 1420 Court place, and to F. C. 8mmons. a grocer at 131 Broadway. Miss O'Brien accepted a check for $15 and Simmons loses to the amount of 0.76. To both Dunlop had exhibited his draft for $1,000 and stated he had been unable to cash it owing to the lack of funds of those to whom he had offered it. The charge of disturbance which led to his undoing was based upon a scene he had created at the home of Mrs. W. F. Wooden. 212 West Sixth avenue. Mrs. Wooden is the wife of a Chicago physi cian and Kves here with her son. Yes terday afternoon Dunlop called st her house and requested to see Dr. Wooden, who, he said, had been recommended to him as a specialist for lung trouble. He represented himself as a nephew of William Jennings Bryan. Mrs. Wooden Informed Dunlop that her husband was not in Denver, but in Chi cago. The man then "threw a fit" and frightened the woman and her son almrst out of their wits. Helpless, Mrs. Woodon railed Dr. Cunningham and then notified th rollce. Patrolman Schmitt was sent to the house and the arrest - followed. So frightened was Mrs. Wooden by the man's pecullsr scttons that she was taken ill and this morning was unable to appear In po lice court and testify' against htm. Further than to' declare he was a sick man Dunlop could say nothing In his be half when quest.ewd on the witness stand. He insisted that the draft found on him is perfectly good. As the reason for falling to get any money on It he explained that ma wue naa moven awar rrom tureston and that he did not know where she la living at the present time. "Sweated" by Captain of De'ecMves Rlnker, Dunlop stated that his home la In Omaha and that he is a promoter of vari ous enterprises In all parts of the country. CASH GONE, PORTER"NABBED Sana of 4SO Stolen from Maarer'a and Colored Employe la Arrested. Five boxes of money, representing the amounts belonging to the different depart ments of Ed Maurer's restaurant and sam ple room, 1306 Farnara street, and amount ing to $430, were broken open and emptied by a burglar, who gained entrance to Mr. Maurer's private office on the second floor of his place of business Thursday morning by crawling through the transom of the office and prying open the desk between 12:30 and 7 o'clock. John A. Henderson, the colored porter, who was the only person in the restaurant after closing hours, has been arrested by Detectives Ferris and Dunn, the officers working on the case. He ia suspected of the theft, but stoutly denies all knowledge of 1L Henderson, Is locked In the Maurer restaurant building every night at 12:30 o'clock, and cannot leave the place till morning. About an hour elapsed between the time the colored porter left Maurer's and the time the loss was discovered. He went to his home, 2428 Ersklne street, where he was arrested soon after 9 o'clock, and the theory with the detectives is that if he took the money, he hid it before reaching home. The premises of the house were thoroughly searched and Henderson had only about $20 on his person when taken Into custody. A charge of suspicious char acter was placed opposite his name on the Jail register. A strenuous attempt is being made to locate the mony.
