    MANY " MESSAGES FOR MAYOR j

Remark.
Believing the people miss the almost dally
.messages which President Ttoosereit sent
to cnnrnnj during the Isst few months of
his term.- Mayor Da hi man In going to do
Ma bent to fill tr)e void by sending fre
quent messages to the city council.
He sent hia flrat ine.ssg to the new
council Tuesday night, though he haa been
mayor for three year, but It waa received
so ' welt and his followers have been so
jirofuse In their congratulations that h haa
decided to send the council messages at
nearly every meeting In the future.
"I anticipate eome warm times." said,
the mayor, "and , therefor I propose to
burn them' with mcssig-8. I didn't say
all I knew in that first message of mine
not by a good deal and th council Will
know dirting th next year or two that this
city has a, mayor with eyea wide, opan
which see everything that Is being dona or
ought to be dore."
The mayor ia atlll "sora" at tb four
democrats who went Into the "deal" to
elect a republican president of the council,
and democratic leaders already class tha
four with the republicans and announce
that they, iwlth the republicans, will con
trol the council, and that, therefore, every
thing is lost to the democrats. Joe Butler,
"uncrowned king of the Eighth ward," and
leader among the Jimocrats, says:
"Kunkhouser, Biucker, Johnson and
Sheldon have pone over to the enemv, body
and soul, and they, with three republican
; counellmen Rerka, Burmester and Hum
innwin be known a tha big seven. They
w ill work together through thick and thin,
and I see lUUe hone of getting any demo
cratic appointees confirmed."
Lack of friction at the first meeting of
tha new council haa not eased the mind of
Mayor Dahlman, and he forecasts a fight
when his appointmerts will go to the coun
cil for confirmation. The ' mayor aays he
will Insist that the men ha picks out be
confirmed and he proposes to be at the
next meeting In person.
Upekrr sftr political Jobs bava about
concluded that the mayor has made up his
mind aa to whom he will appoint and he la
not besieged with aa many callers as a
few days ago.

Second Trade
Tour Into Iowa
May Be Taken
Such a Plan ii Contemplated Because
of the Succeu Attending
the First
to successful was the Iowa trade ex
cursion that It la likely the Commercial
club, Grain exchange and Live Stock ex
change will make another trip into the
state in the early fall, going to the south
west part and over as far a Creston or
further, using the Burlington, Wabaah and
Great Western lines.
Within a few days the trade extenalon
committee will meet and consider this ac
tion. It Is the plan to work more sys
tematically In the future and when the ex
cursionists start out to visit In a state,
stay In the stite until it ia well covered. '
Little by little Omaha Is pushing into
Iowa, now shipping over 200 miles east be
fore Chicago can successfully compete
with the Omaha wholesalers when It comes
to making prices. Hecent rulings of the
Interstate Commerce commission have
given Omaha a great advantage In shipping
Into Iowa. The caee known as the "dressed
beef esse" wss one which made It poa
sible for Omaha to take big alice of ter
ritory. With the outgoing rates more favorable,
the Incoming rates are now better and
more live stock and grain are coming to
Omaha from Iowa than ever before.
With over Jl.oOO miles of railway serving
Omaha directly It Is a hard matter for the
business men to determine Just what llnea
to take out. It would mean twenty-one
thouand-mlle trii to cover all the ter
ritory, snd a l.nm-mtle trip tskes about a
week when made In Nebraska or Iowa.

Nuptial Contract Giving Her
Fifty Thousand Dollars.
Mrs. Julia Montgomery Pratt la the loser
by the decision of Judge Estelle In dis
trict tourt Wednesday morning.
The court held for Colonel Pratt and re
fused to set aside the deeds he had given
of property to his daughters and to en
force the ante-nuptial contract aa prayed
by Mrs. Pratt.
Judge Estelle's decision war brief. He
declared that the contract, did not consti
tute a lien on Colonel Pratt's real estate
and was simply to pay money in the event
of certain happenings.
The court contented himself with ruling
on the law aa Involved on this point. With
regard to the contention of the defenae
that Mrs. Pratt had nullified the contract
by falling to behave as a dutiful w'fe, the
Judge said he did not care to give an
opinion and that It waa Immaterial with
the case ruled on as to tho lien. ;
H. C. Brome and D. M. B. Vlnsonhalcr,
Mrs. Pratt's attorneys, announce that they
w ill take the case to the . supreme court,
where the suit for dlvoreo now Is.
Two Fireproof
Lumber Plants
Concrete Structures Will Be Erected
by Sunderlands on Cotton
Fond Site.
Sunderland Bros, will erect practically
two new planta for their coal and material
business, replacing the one which burned
at Twenty-fourth and Belt line and also
erecting a new plant near Forty-first and
Isard streets, whore the Cotton pond'' has
been filled.
Grading has been completed on the Cot
ton pond property and plana are being
made for erecting a fireproof building and
arranging the yards In the most convenient
way possible.
The plant, to replace the one burned, will
also be fireproof, aa far as possible.
Fireproof yards are a difficult proposi
tion, but with the concrete construction,
even a lumber yard ia made almost fire
proof. Such a building has recently been
completed by C. W. Hull at Stftath Twenty
fourth and Vinton streets. The only fire
which could start In the yard would be
for a pile of lumber In one section to catch
fire, but it could burn without destroying
other piles.

TTTE BEE:
HARRlilAN AND HILL AGREE
Come to Terms on Joint Use of north
ern Pacific.
LOOKS LIKE HARRIMAN VICTOEY
More Taken Mean that Harrlman
t Last Gets Throaati ,he Port
land Gateway aa Com
petitor, Harrlman and Hill have reached an
agreement whereby the Vnion Pacific, the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern
roads will Jointly use the Northern Pacific
line between South Tscoma and Vancouver.
Wash., and the bridge over the Columbia
river.
The Northern Pacific at once will begin
work to complete double trading its rond,
so as to care for the business of the thres
companies. The property will be ucd for
any and all kinds of business by the three
roads and will be mslntnlned as a first
class modern double tiack road for all the
Interests named between Portland ami
Pimet sound.
This announcement Is taken to mean a
great deal more than shows on the face.
Railroad officials believe It means that
"Harrlman and Hill will obey the order of
I he commission to open the Portland gate
way, and not only allow the Union Paeifle
to sell through tickets to Seattle through
that gateway, but alsj to run the Union
Pacific trains on through to Seattle.,
For years Harrlman and Hill have been
fighting for the business of the PugM
Round country, but Hill hss up to thl
lime, been able to shut Harrlman out by
keeping the Portland gateway closed. The
official bulletin says that the Northern
Pacific will throw open Its tracks to the
Union Pacific and the Great Northern for
all kinds of business. This Is taken to
mean that the Union Faclftc will not only
run Its passenger trains through, hut will
also be In line to compete for Ihe frelRht
business of the coveted territory.
While It Is not given out, It Is thought
the Union Pacific will use the Milwaukee
tracks from Tacoma to Seattle. This part
of the Milwaukee road Is completed, but
the Milwaukee will not be ready to rim
through passenger trains from the mst
until fall, although freight trains are get
ting through.
Sew Northwestern Train.
Northwestern offlcl.-ils announce that
8undsy they will put a new train in
service between Omaha and Chicago, mak
ing eight complete passenger trains which
the Northwestern runs dally between
Omaha and Chicago, or two more than any
other road. The new train will connect
with Union Pacific No. S and will leave
Omaha at 6:06 p. m. and reach Chicago at
7:30 the next morning.
Thla train will relieve the regular train.
which will leave at o'clock aa usual and
arrive In Chicago at a. m., or half an
hour earlier than at present. A third
evening train will leave Omaha at 6:05 p.
m.. and arrive at Chicago at 8:30 a. m
The train leaving at 6 o'clock will be an
exclusive Omaha train, made up ex
clusively of sleepers and other equipment
from Omaha to Chicago.
Baslness for All at Seattle.
"It looks like there waa going to be a
big business for everybody to Seattle this
year," said C. B. E. Ussher, assistant pas
senger trsfflc manager of the Canadian
Pacific, who was In Omaha Wednesday.
'Business In our part of the country Is
being resumed at a rapid rate this spring
and every berth of every car we are able
to secure is filled. Local passenger busi
ness has Increased all along the line from
30 to 50 per cent since February, and this
Is generally a good criterion aa to the
status of business.'-

He Gets in Jail
Becomes Too Ardent in His Desire
to Eliminate a Rival
Suitor.
As the result of a slight indiscretion in
trying to get rid of a rival Salter for his
lady's hand. Wlllam A. Stewart has been
given a thirty day setback In his love
making by Police Judge! Crawford.
Stewart made the unaccountable mistake
of leaving the field for a short time re
cently and when he returned ,the running,
he found that another man1 had assumed
the pedestal from which he had descended.
He made bold to call ,uprn , Hies. Bessie Mc-
Kensie, the lucky girl, at her papa's dom
icile, 1H1 Cass street. But when he
reached the house, Tuesday night, every
thing. Including the watch dog, was locked
up, although It waa only 2 a. m.. and the
moon was still ready for business.
Remarking upon the Inexplicable nature
of womankind, he gently aroused the
household by jabbing his massive fist
through about three panels of the front
door. When he was admitted, he was so
glad to see Miss Hessle that he caressed
her too ardently and the police surgeon
had to be called to repair the damage.
Stewart tried to square things with some
real nice acting In police court Wednes
day, ' but the Judge thought the woman
needed a month In which tp recover from
his protestations of affection, so g-ave Wil

The Street Car Service of Omaha.
OMAHA, Neb.. May 2b. To the Editor
of the Bee I havo been ' very much In
terested in the articles In the Hee from
Mr. Wattles and the Information he has
given out us to (the history of street rail
ways In Omaha. ' For more than twenty
years I have traveled extensively in this
country and have been a careful observer
of tranxportation matters. On account of j
Impaired health I was ohlljrod to jrive up
my work and with my wife took a leisurely
trip around the world, returning about a
year ago. From my observation and ex
perience both in this country and abroad. I
am prepared to say that Omaha now has
equal, If not superior, street car service
to any to be found In any cotintry as to
comfortable cars, frequency of service.
rapidity of transportation, transfers from
one line to another and, conslderng all
the conditions, gets as much or more for
the money paid. If nny one doubts thla,
a trip such as we took will convince them
of the truth.
The street car service of Honolulu, which
has been developed under the direction of
Colonel C. It. Atherton, compares quite
favorably with ours. They uho only open
cars, the men are well cared for. the fare
Is five cents, but the distance to be carried
Is less than half the average lrngih of our
lines and ten minute service Is the best on
any line, I think.
In Japan and Chlnn. Eg pt and Europe
the fare Is less for short distances which
always resullR In cona-estlng the population
In the down town or factory districts, with
all that that mentis, of squalor, crime and
higher death rate. I did not find a place
where I could travel as fr for fiye tents
or its equivalent as In Omaha, ani have
equal accommodations. In the countries
the average wages of the employes Is less
than half what Is paid In Omaha, with
the possible exception of England, and
even In London the wases are much les.
A mntorman on the lines built by the
! London county council told me that his
earnings were about four shillings per
day, which would be ninety-six cents of
our money.
Much can be said for and asralnst paying
fares according to distance, in our city a
"uniform rate regardless of distance" has
given us many beaurlful suburban homes
with plenty of 'breathing room," beauti
fied our city, kept down the death rate,
and been of great value to the health of
our population, especially the children.
This letter Is written without the know
ledge of nny one connected, with the street
railway company and only to call attention
to the sober facts regarding1 the excellent
service given us by the company and its
value to the city. N. li. it AlUDK.N.

Omaha-Ghicago
High Schools
Join in Debate
Contest of Orators at Creighton Audi
torium on the Evening
of June 4.
The mystery rf tho letters which have
appeared In the halls of the Omaha High
school from day to day for the last two
weeks has at last been explained. Each
morning on crtering school the pupils were
confronted ,by a single letter posted in the
halls and rooms throughout the building.
This letter was changed each day. Their
appearance aroused a great deal of inter
est and there was much speculation as to
their meaning. Monday all the letters
which had appeared were posted together
and then It was discovered, when com
bined, they spelled the word "Chicago."
The reason that they had not discovered
this before was due to the fact that tho
letters had been so arranged as to pcll
tho word "Chicago" backward.
The purpose whs to arouse interest In the
coming debate with the Englewood High
school, Chicago, III., which takes place
Friday niKbt, Juno 4. in Creighton audi
torium. This Is aroulng more interest
than any other event of this school year.
Twice in the past lias Omaha debated
with Chicago. In 1903. a team representing
the school Journeyed to Chicago and was
defeated. The following year the Chicago
buys came to Omaha, and won by a close
decision.
This year the Omaha team hopes to get
even for the two defeats of the past. The
local school will lie represented by Will
Ross and Harry Druckr. Both are ex
perienced debaters. Iloss has been a mem
ber of the debating squad for two years,
and Iruckor has been on the team since
his uophomore year." The question for de
bate, "ltesolved, That tho Municipalities
of the United States Government Should
Adopt the G ilvcston Plan of Government,"
Chicago chose the affirmative of this ques
tion, thus leaving the negative fpr Omaha
to defend.
