Oil AHA LITTLE CONCERNED
Switchmen's Strike Now Confined to
Union of North America. t
IS NOT BkoAESES SERIOUS HEBE
ft. Paal and Bllllntfs Conmectlona Are
Made Close to Schedule Mohler
In Conference with Cm
mlsslonev Nelll.
In the face of a serious blockade In the
movement of freight throughout the north
west there seems to be no trouble of any
moment among the switchmen employed
in Omaha. The strike of the switchmen
In St. Paul and Minneapolis has narrowed
Itself down to a fight made by the Switch
men's Union of North America and does
not involve the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen to which the lucal switch throw
ers belong.
"There are very few members of the
switchmen's union in Omaha," said A. J.
Donahue, assistant yardniaster of the Mis
souri faclflo railroad. "There is such
a small number represented here that in
oase they should all go out there would
be no apparent effect as most of the local
switchmen belong to the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen."
"The Switchmen's Union of North Amer
ica and the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men are two distinct organisations; they
are not affiliated In any way and do not
. work in concord. The etrlka of the switch
men need not necessarily Involve the train
men even though they are engaged in the
, same line of work."-
In the local yards the Omaha road Is
perhaps most affected by the strike of the
switchmen In fH. Paul and Minneapolis.
This road has positively refused anything
but "dead freight" for the northern points,
drawing the line on perishable goods that
would suffer by delay in traffic. The Rock
Island is the only road running into Omaha
that has a contract with the Switchmen's
union and this road has no direct com'
muhlcation with the center of trouble.
Railroad managers In Omaha do not re
gard the strike a serious as was first
reported. Chicago and northwestern pas
senger trains from St Faul during the
day were running closs to schedule time
and made connection in Omaha with trains
for Kansas City and the west. Burlington
trams westbound have had no trouble
through Hillings, Mont., where most of
the switchmen are out because the trains
are through trains and require no switch
ing. Other roads running into St. Paul and
Omaha have found It advisable to unload
cargoes at points outside the city limits,
where wagons have been kept In waiting.
This means an addltnonal charge for
hauling but does not Interfere with de
livery of goods to any considerable extent
A. L. Mohler of Omaha, viae president of
the Union Pacific railroad, who la a mem
ber of the advisory committee of the west
ern railroad managers, Is expected to
reach his office Saturday. He has at
tended the conferences at St. Paul with
Commissioner of Labor Nelll and Charles
P. Knapp of the Interstate Commeroe com
mission.
Charles Bogus, general chairman of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen for
the Union Paclflo railroad, who has been
in Omaha since the strike was declared In
St Paul, has gone to North Platte. A. I
Konold, member of the executive commit
tee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, representing the men employed
by the Union Paclflo railroad, has gone to
Laramie, Wyo. ; This is an lndloation that
affairs In Omaha are quiet so far as the
strike, trouble is concerned.

Pull for Corn
Show Next Year
Appeal it Made to Omaha People to
Secure National Exposi
tion for 1910.
Letters Of final announcement of the
National Corn exposition have been sent
out td the 400 subscribers to the exposi
tion fund. These tetters are a final appeal
to the Omaha people td arouse their in
terest Attention to the prospects for an
other year Is called by the following para
graph:
"As a stockholder you should satisfy
yourself by frequent visits that the Corn
show Is a success and determine to what
extent it is worthy of your support for an
other year. The holding of the National
Corn exposition in Omaha In 1910 Will de
pend upon voluntary subscriptions and not
upon the urgent solicitation of a finance
committee."
The subscribers are urged to boost their
best for the Corn show to secure a satis
factory attendance from the people of
Omaha.

Admits Tnklnar Another Men's Cloth.
In, bns His Wife Snya She
Qnleklr Returned Them.
Dlsoharged-aftar pleading guilty was the
unique experience of George Henderson,
colored, in pollc court Friday. Henderson,
in making his plea, admitted he had taken
some clothing belonging to a man named
Slaughter, but said he was Intoxicated at
the time. Ilia wife testified that she Im
mediately, upon learning that Henderson
had taken Slaughter's clothing, returned
the garments.
"Furthermore," said Mrs. Henderson,
"Slaughter agreed not to prosecute Hender
son If I paid him twenty gold American
dollars." This Slaughter vigorously denied.
Under the circumstances, while the court
held Henderson to be technically guilty of
larceny, the Judge believed he was war

"NICKEL-IN-THE-SLOT"
SHOESHINE IS HERE
Local Cla-artst Bxhlblts Noreltr in
the Shape of an Electrical
Bootblack.
It simply had to come. Now even the
poor bootblaok Is threatened with ex
tinction. The electrical age has ushered In elec
trio hair curlers and flat Irons; telephones
and bake ovens; alarm clocks, motor cars
and what not but now we have the
nlckel-in-the-alot electrical bootblack.
And it's not a Joke either, but an auto
matic contrivance that one Btlcks one's
shoe covered foot Into while pressing a
button, and Presto! a moment or two later
you have as fins a "shine" as was ever
administered in the shops.
Kvery part of the shoe Is first affec
tively cleaned by brushes; then the auto
matic blackening dauber gela in Us work;
finally ths electrical polisher puts on the
glOfcS.
Yes, it's praotlcal and really does the
work.
The first two In Omaha have been In
stalled at The Central Cigar Store at ill
South Kth St., where the busy buss of the
motors Invariably stop crowds of onlook
ers when the "nickel has been dropped."
After a holdup and robbiry at Eleventh
and Marcy streets early this morning, a
negro highwayman turned and fired a
bullet into his victim and fled, leaving no
clue as to his whereabouts.
As a result of the shooting R. J. Counts
of 211 Fifth avenue. Council Bluffs, is In
St. Joseph's hospital suffering from a se
rious wound in the lungs and liver. Physi
cians say 'he may recover.
Counts is night ' telegraph operator em
ployed by the Union Pacific railroad.
Shortly after S a. m. he was returning
from his lunch when a burly negro stepped
out from the shadow of a building and
commanded Counts to hold up his hands.
The operator was then compelled at the
point of a revolver to surrender his valua
bles, which amounted to tlfi In currency.
After securing ths money Counts was
warned not to cry for help. He did so,
however, and the cowardly negro,
without warning, pulled the trigger
and fired a shot point blank through j
counts lungs, ine wounanu man aougnt
assistance and was taken to the hospital.
Drs. Updegraff and Harris were sum
moned and successfully extracted the bul
let from Counts' body. Unless complica
tions set In, they say, the Injured man will
lecover.
No traoe has been secured of his assailant
WOMAN RUN DOWN BY TEAM

Mr"s. P. S. Ouerln, 3009 South Twenty

Injured by a team driven by Mrs. N. H.

and Douglas streeets during the blinding
snow storm Friday morning. Mrs. Ouerln
was carried to the office of Dr. P. T.
Conlan in the Br.own block by James Lind
say. She was removed from there to St.
Joseph hospital.
Mrs. Ouerln says that she did not see
the approaching team until she was struck.
Mrs. Loomls was driving at an ordinary
rate of speed and probably only the slip
pery pavements i and the heavy snow are
to be blamed for the accident.
Mrs. Ouerln suffered deep scalp wounds
and Injuries to her left side and elbow.
Dr. Conlan does not expect serious conse
quences beyond the1 apparent injuries. Mrs.
Ouerln suffered considerably from the loss
of blood.

Ous R. Linden, the former Loulsvllls
quarry employe who died at St. Joseph's
hospital Wednesday night less than two
hours after he had been taken there by a
stranger who saw Linden acting queerly
on a street car, came from Chicago, at
least he resided at 120 Oak street In that
city prior to May 30 last. It has been as
certained Linden was a member of the In

that he was also a Maccabee, a member of
Northern High tent No. 215 of Chicaga.
His beneficiary Is named as Frans Alfred
Linden, his father.
From effects found In Linden's pockets
It Is learned that on May 28 last he pawned
a suitcase and overcoat for 12.20. Later he
received treatment for a bruised thumb by
Dr. Blmonek of Creighton Medical college.
It was at first believed Linden had taken
poison with suicidal Intent but Dr. Sltno

the case. Coroner Heafey Is still Investi

LARGE AMOUNT ASKED '
BY HORBACHS OF SULLIVAN
Eleven Canses ( Aetion Alleged by
Plaintiffs In Salt Filed In
District Court.
Judgment against Eugene J. Sullivan Is
demanded on eleven counts by plaintiffs In
a suit against him In district court The
amount sought Is 177,371.
The plaintiff are Mrs. Sarah Horbach,
Mrs. Mary F. Uourke and Paul W. Hv
bach,, respectively the widow, daughter aXi
son of the lare John A. Horbach. The liti
gation is a cross-claim on the part of the
Horbachs. Some time ago they filed suits
against Sullivan, who managed the eBtate
of John A. Horbach for several years fol
lowing Horbach's. death. Then Sullivan
filed an Independent suit against these
three, who are thus the original plaintiffs
in the litigation.
Mismanagement of property, retention of
funds, carelessness and appropriating money
to his own use are some of the charges
which the Horbachs make. The charges
differ in number, though not In kind, from
those preferred In former suits.
The sum of (23,371 is asked on the first v
nine caui.es of ths total of eleven. On the
tenth M.000 Is asked for general injury to
the property, which, they say, Sullivan
grossly neglected and lrretirevably Injured.
