Jalaed.
John W. Newlean leaves the position cf
chief clerk In the off.ee of th genersl
auditor of the t'nlon Pacific system snd
the Southern Psclfic company to become
general auditor of the Oreat Western. Hs

lean Is a son of John Newlean, and his
brother, Hsrry Newlean, la secretary to
V- 1" Park, general superintendent, and
another brother. Frank Newlean, la an
Omaha musician.
Mr. Newlean Is the statisticlsn of th
Union Psclfic and he established the sys
tem of statistical accounts and It was on
bis figures that the unit system of move
ment was worked out.
Harris) Waists Met af West.
E. H. Harriman bas returned from the
south and one of his first acts was to at
tend a meeting of the board of directors
of th New Tork Central lines. It waa
stated thst the business of the meeting was
merely routine. Some radical changea are
looked for now that Harriman haa come
out In the open aa being in control of the
New Tork Central. Rumors are flying
around that he will move soms of his west
ern operating men east to Improve the
conditions of his new property snd mske
It pay better dividends. Western men al
most uniformly succeed In the east, while
astern men who are sent west seldom
get along as well.
The western railroad men are the rough
and ready kind, always reedy to Jump out
on the line when there U trouble." said
a railroad man In talking on that subject.
Eastern men liks better to sit in their of
fices and run th road by mad."
Oae Llaa Still hswkrasi.
One railroad Una in Nebraska still re
mains In the grasp of ths snow which fell
Monday night nd Tuesday morning. The
O'Neill branch of the Burlington Is still In
a state of blockade. alUiouch the nffWrs
of the company hope to have it cleared In
a coupie or days. When the wind died
dowa so that men could be sent out It was
found that there were several miles of
drifts on th track, fourteen feet deep In
many plaoee. One drift waa fourteen feet
deep and M0 feet long. The three .engines
pushing the wedge snowplow had a stren
uous time la working their way through
soma of these drifts. Several times the
engine and plow stuck fact and it was
necessary to shovel them out. Near War
ham the snowplow went Into the ditch,
causing more grief. It was also reported
that another snowplow was in the ditch
near Emerson.
C. A S. Stockholders ( Meet.
Stockholders of th Colorado at Southern
will meet In New Tork Friday to elect a
nw board of directors and to select a suc
cessor to President Frank Trumbull, who
has resigned. Oeorge B. Harris, president
of the Burlington, la slated for the position
of president. Although some . changea in
the management of th road may be con
templated It Is announced that these will
be gradual and no radical move will be
mad.
Osaakaa Oats Better Jab.
John Crulckshank, who began his railroad
career with the Burlington In Omaha and
who waa recently chief clerk of passenger
accounts In the office of auditor of the
Oregon Short Una, haa resigned his posi

TAYLOR BILL UNDER FIRE
Fareiga Maaey Mra Oppose It, While
Hose Capitalists Arc Favor
able ta It.
Plans of ths representatives of eastern
money to knock out the Taylor btll when
It oomes before the Nebraska senate seem
likely to be upset by representatives of
"bom money," who believe the bill as a
whole la alright.
The action of th Real Estate exchange
la condemning th bill and appointing a
committee to draft a substitute bas led to
some hot discussion among ths business
men and loan agents.
Even friends of th bill, however, say It
la so clumsy and so poorly drawn that it
will need much "fixing." Its loose and
careless phraseology leaves on or two pro
vision open to discussion, according to D.
V. Sholes, who Is friendly to the bill, but
not certain as to soms of th provisions
condemned by others.
"I believe the bill does not contemplate
th owner of a mortgage giving the debtor
credit for money pstd for tuxes on the
principal nor on the Interest." says Mr.
8 holes. "But stiil the bill Is Indefinite and
the choice of words by the author Is bad.
Th bill will not drive eastern capital from
th state. claimed, but. on th other
hand, will loosen up some af the money at
homo which is now Idle and will not be re
leased as long as the assessor comes down
on every mortgage which is recorded and
takes such a good share of the Interest.
We worked on such a bill two years ago
and It was not far from making the same
provisions as tbe Taylor btll."
Agents for home and foreign money say
varloua practices going on In Omaha now
enable th owners of mortgages to dodge
taxation. Mortgagee ars secured by agents
for eastern money and recorded In the
names of ths eastern houses, then sold to
local parties, the record showing the mort
gage la In ths east, when It Is In fact held
st home.
That law stopping present double taxa
tion la needed la admitted by both friends
and opponents of the Taylor bill, who like
wise sgree thst the bill In ft a present form
la cspable of too many interpretation

when It has been th custom to make a

The net earnings from operations for th
six months covered by this last report ware
13.917.683, and the balance applicable to divi
dends was tMtl.TSO. out of which wer
paid the preferred dividend of SH per cent.

MRS. PRATT SBACK AT HIM
One Mere Coaater-Blow Dealt la Old
Divorce Salt with Aged
Hashaad.
Mra. Julia Montgomery Pratt filed her
answer Thursday morning to ths petition
of her husband, which prays for a recon
veyance to him of tbe much disputed home
stead and for an anullment of the famed
ante-nuptial contract. Colonel Pratt filed
this petition January 7 and ths caee haa
already been called before Judge Estelle,
but haa gone over for aome time.
The anawer of Mra. Pratt contains much
that waa In her petition for divorce. So,
likewise the petition of her husband re
cited many alleged facts narrated by him
In reply to that petition. This includes th
endowment of the house snd the 150.000, the
trip to Texas, of which th two take a
quit different view, th conveyance of his
property after the ante-nuptial settlement
to his daughter and ths suit for divorce
and its sppeal to tha supreme court.
Mrs. Pratt's answer contains one theme
to which her husband's petition had msde
no reference. This is the old charge that
he "built in Benson a residence of brick
and stone for Babina Zwelfel at a cost of
S8.000."
Colonel Pratt's petition asserts that dur
ing their life together, "the defendant be
came exceedingly extravagant in the wsy
of dress and other goods which she or
dered and secured an th faith and credit
of the plaintiff, so that from th time of
th said marriage up to the month of
February, 1907, she had received In cash
and goods ordered over' $50,000." He slso
reasserted that Mrs. Pratt "did not enter
Into said marriage wild luuil faith and did
not Intend to live with plaintiff more than
two or three yeara, but to get a divorce
for the sole purpose of securing as much
money and property as possible."

Th elderly bschelor, previously Im
pervious to feminine appeal, who finally
meets the right girl, la a favorite them
with playwrights. Generally someone has
to stick a pin In him In order to wake
him up to the fact that he la at last
Infatuated and hia diffidence as a love
maker la alwaya wellnlgh exaaperatinr
The young woman the leading lady, of
course must help him along somewhat,
and she Is more than apt to have an addi
tional vexation in the person of another
female by no meana so charming as her
self, who also wishes to nab ths afore
said elderly bachelor. But as a rule lov,
exonerstes the proverb and finds a way,
although not until the last act sis there
would b no story and no play.
It waa thus In "Th Professor' Ior
Story," Ukwls In "The Morals of Mar
cus," and so, too, "Th Bachelor's Ro
mance" ef beloved Sol Smith Russell mem
ory. So In a degree In "Th Woman's
Hour" played at th Boyd last evening
by Adelaide Thurston snd company. In
cluding the author, Frederick Paulding.
Tet this Is not to ssy that the Ideaa of
Barrle or the other playwrlghte have been
filched or that except In a broad way Mr.
Paulding's comedy resembles theirs. Its
treatment Is different snd the situations
sre not the same except that the leading
man la somewhat elderly, th heroins young
snd altogether winsome and ths upshot
as happy aa In the comedies named.
Miss Thurston Is of course the girl who
has to fight against a cabal and Mr.
Paulding la the man hitherto proof against
Amor'a darts. With respect to the acting
of these two It may be aaid there were
Roger Daneway, whom Paulding imper
sonates a real man in real life, he must
inevitably succumb at once to the charm
with which Miss Thurston mske Hester
Temple seem a genuine girl and reversely
Hester Temple would almost surely be
come quickly and completely enamoured
of the aforetime woman hater.
Mlas Thurston lias a facile technique and
evident temperament. She has also physi
cal attractiveness and charm the total In
suring greet success. Playing opposite her
Is th author of the drama, a ripe actor
prominent in the support of Innumerable
stars and one of the two or three men alive
admittedly competent to read Shake
spearean blank vers. He has played lead
ing rolea with Irving and one ot his last
notable successes was his Casslus With
Manafield when the latter staged Julius
Csesar. It is something of a jump from
this to his present part but th gap Is
compassed without apparent strain and he
seems as much at home In th garb of a
wealthy New Torker as In Roman tunic and
toga. One ventures to suspeet. however,
thst were Mr. Paulding not the author of
the comedy he would not be found playing
the role good aa it la of its kind.
The company Is well balanced through
out. Edmund Ford a a .cynical wordly
wlae, aelfiah and slightly caddish youth
stood well above th other actors of minor
parts.
Mlas Elliott's tleslag Night. '
Last night waa Miss Elliott's closing night
at the Burwood, and her friends made it
somewhat of an event. She was given an
unusually demonstrative reception when she
made her first appearance. In ths second
