Referring to the personnel of the company he declared the stock was all subscribed by local men and tha company would be financed and under the articles of Incorporation will be man aged by the citizens of South Omaha, as long as the company exists. He said he was not ready to publish the list of stock holders yet, but would do so shortly. As to the Intent of the company In sub mitting a bid, tho attorney said the com pany expected to furnish public and private lights and aell power to the full extent of Its Influence. He maintained that the bid of his company was -fsr better In every way than the old company's.

To furnish thla power tiie company ex pects to erect a power plant to cost be tween 1126,000 and SlSO.oOO.

Land Sale FalSIa Prophecy. Events have apparently verified the re ports given In the South Omaha columns of The lice three months ago that th I'nion Pacific, through the McCagua In vestment company of Omaha, had bought a large and valuable tract of Sarpy county land along the present right-tf-way. The report waa vigorously attacked by Edward Dee at that time as an exaggeration. The sale has been verified from many sources and la said to have been admitted by Mr. Dee also. The tract consists of forty odd acres west of the I'nion Pacific tracks extend ing from Chandler s road to the Douglua county line. The largest Individual prop erty owner to sell wss Michael Crocker, who has bean an owner there for about three yeara. He has made a very hand some profit. The J. F. Murphy Real Estate company of South Omaha handled his and other properties In the tract. The company Inter ested In the purchssa of the tract has been disappointed at the publicity given the deal for the reason that some obatinate property owners hold out more vigorously with each repetition of the story. The maoagement said that the men who were not content with a good big profit, but who wanted to make a fortune out of their holdings, might check the whole proposi tion. As to what use the railroad company will make of the property, the most reason able theory is that the growth of the two Oniahas will soon mske more trackage a necessity. To Bay Sit of reaatry Clan.

Mr. Howell has gone to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, 900 miles north snd west of Winnipeg, and for two days he dieted in anticipation of tha Journey towards the land of tha midnight sun. He left last night and will arrive at his destination Monday night after four daya and four nights of continuous travel, th route being via St. Paul, Portal, N. D.; Moose Jaw and Reglna, Saskatchewan. Mr. Howell has gone to the Canadian province as an expert on Nebraska law and at the call of th deputy attorney general of the province, Frank Ford, a member of the same Greek Utter fra ternity with Mr. Jefferis. Th letter's presence waa requested, but as he waa unable to go Mr. Howell went In his place. The exact nature of the case In which the Omaha attorney will testify Is not clear. Several telegrams, containing about 400 words, at 9 cents a word, were sent back and forth and from these It la figured out that some man or woman Is being tried on a charge of bigamy. Mr. Howell goes as an expert to testify as to the power of a Mennonlt minister to perform the marriage ceremony, and it Is therefore believed that someone is trying to get clear of a bigamy charge on the ground that a prevloua marriage performed by a minister of the Mennonlt faith Is not binding. In the Canadian provinces the old ' :cle siasttcal law prevails, aa In England, and If the marriage waa performed In Canada under the old law there might b some question. In' the United States, however, the ecclesiastical law la practically nil and a marriage ceremony performed by a minister of any faith or by a Justice la binding. Further, a marriage ceremony performed by a person who lias not th power, but whom the contracting parties l believe has the power, Ms binding. But In this InHlance the consequencea would fall on the person performing th cere mony, not those married. These points will be explained by Mr. Howell. of the league's candidates board and other speakers. tor the excise Man Disappears, Mother Near Death Frank Cordei, Young: DlinoUan, Laat Heard of in Omaha in 1805.
