Union Pacific is
to Build New Line
Into Hastings
The filing with the secretary of state
Of the articles of Incorporation of the
Hastings & Northwestern is taken to
mean that Hastings Is to be put on the
Union Pacific map within a very short
time if the business men and ethers of
that Nebraska city get busy.
, The Hastings & Northwestern, as it
now exists, la an auxiliary company of
the Union Pacific organised solely by
Union Pacific men and officered by them.
Its financing will be taken care of by the
Union Pacific, and when the line Is com
pleted between the two points and ready
lor operation, will be turned over.
Surveys for the Hastings & North'
western were completed about five years
ago, and the road would have been built
Immediately thereafter, but at that time
there was a tendency to a belief that the
Union Pacific had to get into Hastings
and the citizens of the town were not
disposed to want any concessions, or
even help to secure the terminal facili
ties. Now, it is understood, that an
agreement between the town people and
those . of the railroad has practically
been reached and that work Is soon to
begin.
Asked when work would begin on the
new line. President Mohler of the Union
Pacific refused to make any . statement,
merely remarking, "Watch and you may
see the dirt fly."
At Hastings the proposed road will con
nect with the St. Joseph A Grand Island.
The survey runs in almost "a straight
line northwest and. through a fine agri
cultural country, striking the main line
of the Union Pacific at the little town of
Gibbon, thirteen miles east of Kearney.
The building of the gap between Hast
ings and Gibbon will give the Union Pa
cific a direct connection between its Ne
braska and Kansas main lines, something
that it does not have at this time, except
in a roundabout way. '
Section of State
Gets a Drenching
There is a little corner down In -the
southwest part of . Nebraska where the
farmers have been clamoring for rain for
a few days past, but they got theirs
Wednesday night, for all along the Bur
lington from Edgar to the state line on
the west they got a drenching and at
most places It was raining Thursday
morning when the reports were received
at local headquarters.
Superior, Red. Cloud and Orleans got
an inch and more of rain, while at Min
den, Holdrege, Hastings, Blue Hill, Mc
Cook, Benkleman, Arapahoe, Republican
and a dozen other places and most .of the
surrounding country got from one-half
to three-fourths inch.
Along the Union Pacific main line from
Grand Island all the way to North
Platte there were heavy rains during the
night, . the precipitation ranging from
one-half to one inch. .

DEMENTED WOMAN STOPS
... POLICEMAN ON STREET
"Come to wifle," cried Mrs. Tom Horn,
alias Madame Rose, as she rushed up to
Officer J. H. Sch wager at Sixteenth a d
Chicago streets Wednesday and threw her
arms around his neck. Schwager's face
became a beautiful red and then. turned
white as the woman 'began weeping on
his shoulders, calling him all the endear

Although he tried to tell her that she
had made a mistake she refused to be
convinced and followed him down Six
teenth street Sch wager took her to the
station and had her locked up for safe
keeping.
Madame Rose has been demented since
her husband deserted her four Tears ago.
Several prominent Omaha business men
have had the same experience as Behwa

their wives.
Madame Rose will be tried by the Is
sanity board and will probably be given
a term In the Insane asylum.

HOWELL ANSWERS CRITICS
Will Adopt System to Give Early Be
Auction in Water Rate.
STATEMENT IS ISSUED BY HIM
He KrrpUtae that the Extcnaloa of
Will Greatly Bnhamcc
the Property Wfclc They
Will Serve.'
In a statement Issued by Water Com
missioner Howell,' It is announced that
there will be early reduction of water
rates if the pipe district system Is
adopted. This system provides that in
case of extensions property owners shall
be charged SO cents per front foot Un
less the system is adopted, the commls
sloner says In answer to the protests of
Improvement clubs, a general reduction
In rates may be delayed indefinitely.
"We want to do what's right," said Mr.
Howell, "and believe the property own
ers who have extensions made under this
system will receive an advantage of at
least $25 for fifty-foot lots over and ebove
what they will pay the city for the ex
tension."
South Omaha stock yards and packing
houses, following objections made to the
announcement by the Water board that
their rates would be Increased, have
aired John C. McMynn of Chicago, an en
gineer, to confer with the water commis
sioner and agree upon a reasonable rate.
By law the Water board cannot charge
consumers who use 25,000 gallons per day
or more over 10 cents per 1,000 gallons.
.ine south Omaha establishment have
been paying i "cents per 1,000 gallons.
Water Commissioner Howell says the
board will not back up on its action t
increase South Omaha rates. H says it
Is due prlvato consumers that water be
furnished to the larger consumers at a
charge equal In proportion to that paid
by the small consumer.

Pistol Misses Fire
When Man Attempts
to Settle a Grudge
At least two men would be in the morgue
had George Bagel's automatic pistol
struck fire yesterday when he made
murderous assault on C. S. Scranton
and Jerry Severs, employed on the new
high school building, now in course ot
construction. The only result is that
Ragel. is In jail on a charge of carrying
concealed weapon.
Ragel was discharged about a week
ago by Scranton, foreman for the marble
sub-contractors. Thus, with a grudge,
he threatened that he would "get"
Scranton. He went to the school this
morning armed with a gun and looking
for trouble. He found it when Jerry
Severs swatted him in the face with the
palm of his hand. Jn the excitement that
followed Ragel drew his pistol and at
tempted to fire at ' both Severs and
Scranton. He pulled the trigger three
times, but fire was missed every time.
- Ragel waa bound over to the district
court under 1500 bonds, which he turn'
lshed.

Weather Man Has No Chance
of Slipping
There's one Omaha man who's always
ready for a rainy day. Stanhope Flem
inghe's the one. He always carries an
umbrella. You'll never catch him without
it He carries it morning, noon and
night; in hot weather and cold; in sun
and snow and rain. If the elements war
rant, the rain protector's open; If not
it's shut Anyway donner and blltsen or
not Stanhope's ready and the" weather
man is yet to be found who can put It
over on him. . '
Some of his cronies say that Stanhope
carries his umbrella to be ready as much
for the' holdup man as for the weather
man; others, that he inherits the um
brella habit from his Uncle Si down Po
dunk way. But these are unwary indi
viduals who have been caught in the rain.

are hopping in the tumlp patoh and but

H'SHANE NAMES NEW DEPUTY
Appoints "Bed Hike" Wallace to
Succeed Mahoney, Resigned.
REASON FOR CHANGE NOT GIVEN
Wallace la Sought la Chicago to Give
Testimony Here In the Elec
tion Cases Which Came . ,
Up Last Fait.
M. Wallace, known to the police as
"Red Mike". Wallace, has been appointed
deputy sheriff to succeed J. R. Mahoney,
resigned, by Sheriff Felix J. McShane,
jr. Notice of the change In the personnel
of the sheriff's staff was filed with Henry
E. Ostrom,. clerk of the county board, but
the reason could not be learned.
Sheriff . McShane could not be located
by reporters. Chief Deputy Foster re
fused to discuss the subject further than
to say he knew nothing about it except
that Mahoney had resigned and Wallace
had been appointed, and he supposed Ma
honey quit because he ,got tired of thu
Job.
Wallace is one of the men visited in
Chicago by Sheriff McShane, Charles &
Fanning and Johnny Scheff last spring
when seeking men to testify before the
grand Jury about alleged election frauds.
Wallace was requested to return to
Omaha, his former home, and testify, but
instead he gave his signature to an af
fidavit which was read to the grand Jury.
Has Police Court Record.
Avter the indictment or several Judges
and clerks of election on charges of elec
tion frauds Wallace returned. Wallace
has a police court record.
Mahoney' s experience as a deputy sher
iff was not altogether pleasant. On one
occasion as a participant in a street fight
both he and the other combatant were
arrested, ind overindulgence in liquor
was one excuse.
Superintendent Carson recently ad
dressed to Sheriff McShane a letter in
which reference was made to alleged im
proper conduct of the sheriff's deputies,
but no names were mentioned. According
to Carson the deputies were in Concordia
park drinking beer with women who were
not their wives.
Dahlman Democrats
Claim Now to Be the
Real Party Leaders
Dahlman Democracy, once painfully
tolerated by thel staunch Woodrow Wll
son league of which J. W. Woorough is
president have declared the tables
turned, their past record vindicated and
their future prosperity assured.
"You are the genuine democrats.
writes Woodrow Wilson to Secretary
O'Connor of the Dahlman Democracy
club. And Dahlman democrats are in
tepretlng it this way: "TOU are THB
genuine democrats"
"We ain't democrats, huh?" said Joe
Butler.
"Who said we ain't, eh?" Tom Flynn
demanded.
And then Butler produced and read the
letter, emphaarzed the fact that Wood
row Wilson believes the members of the
Dahlman Democracy are THE genuine,
dyed-in-the-wool, never-say-die demo
crats of Nebraska, and that the arrogant
members of the Woodrow Wilson league
are an unimportant issue in this corner
of the coming campaign.
Brandeis Will to Be
Filed in a Few Days
The content of the will left by the
late H? Hugo Brandeis will not be made
pubUc for several days and until that
time the extent of his estate will not be
made known. The holdings of Mr. Bran

Emll, In the institutions controlled by
the Brandeis brothers, consisting of mer
cantlle and real estate. Mr. Brandeis had
a valuable seperate lot on Thirty-ninth
street near Chicago, on which he was
expecting to build a home. He also car
rled one insurance policy for 10,000.
The settlement of his estate will await
the final settlement of the estate of EmU
Brandeis, H. Hugo Brandeis being one of
the principal heirs. ,

RETORT fflTSTHEPEDDLERS
Peg? Demonstrates to Council How
Housewives Are Cheated.
HONEST MEN WANT ORDINANCE
Sealer of WeVrhta and Measures Has
Little Tilt When Matter Is
Brought for Dlscnsalon
Before City Council. 1
John Orant Pegg, city sealer of weights
and measures, carried a wagon load ot
measures and scales into the council
chamber and demonstrated how a crooked
peddler could cheat a housekeeper who
hadn't been raised on the farm.
J. M. Macfarland, an attorney for the
peddlers who are objecting to the pas
sage of the weights ordinance now
pending before the council, said it would
drive the peddlers out of business to
pass the ordinance. .
Asks for the Names.
Pegg answered "Give me the list of
twenty-five or thirty peddlers who raised
$100 to got you to fight this ordinance
and I'll name the peddlers I've arrested
for selling short weights."!
Pegg declared he didn't represent any
body but the people who were cheated.
Joe Becker, secretary of the Grocer's as-
saciation, which is advocating the or
dinance, said his association had been
swamped with requests to get the ordin
ance passed.
With the use of some of the measures
Pegg had confiscated the city sealer re
vealed the tricks of the peddlers' trade.
Measures after being stamped by his
office are often reduced at considerable
expense so that they will measure sev
eral pounds less. False bottoms are some
times put in them and crooked peddlers
sell them level full Instead of "heapln'
'em up."
Favored by Honest Peddlers,
"Only the floaters In the peddling busi
ness are objecting to this ordinance," con
cluded Pegg, "and the honest peddlers
want It passed because it will protect
them. Dishonest peddlers, often three,
big, strong men on a single wagon with
ten bushels of potatoes to sell, will give
short weight and then the honest man is
suspected."
Mr. Macfarland objected to the ordi
nance on the grounds of its constitution
ality. It was referred to the legal de
partment for an opinion.
Substantial Gift is
Received by Savidge
Rev. C. W. Savldge's prayers are still
being answered. He has just received
word from Frank Parker, son of the late
Fred Parker, announcing a gift of be
tween $600 and $700, enough to clear up
the Indebtedness on the Florence prop
erty, on which Mr. Savidge expects to
erect an invalids' home. The property,
consisting of about two acres, beautifully
located, was bought some time ago by
Rev. Savidge, and there was a balance
due on it The Parker gift gives Rev.
Savidge a clear title to the ground.

The first protest against the opening
of Twenty-eighth avenue for the laying

posed by the Water board as another
artery of supply from the Florence plant

Prime fat cattle brought the highest
price ever paid in the history of the
South Omaha trade yesterday morning. A

Ing a total of $4,770.96 for thirty-five head
Each steer in the shipment averaged
1.413 pounds, the returns amounting to
$136.50 per head.
The highest price previously nald on
the South Omaha market was recorded
at $9.50 only two or three weeks asm.
leaving today's top an absolute claim on
first honors. Old timers at the yards do
not expect to see much higher, most ot
them asserting that the demand tor beef
at war-time figures is too narrow and
uncertain to warrant further advances.
Western Cattle lunnn.
One ot the remarkable features about
the $9.65 cattle appeared In the fact that
they were all branded westerns of the
Hereford and Shorthorn strains. A few
years ago stock of western origin was
generally nothing to brag about most
rangers having long horns and poor con
formation. Lately, however, consider
able improvement .has been shown In h
character of western receipts so that the
feeder end of the supply can be finished

Gov, Hadley Stops
in Omaha Between
Chautauqua Dates
"Just stopping over in Omaha between
cnautauqua dates," declared Gov
ernor Herbert , 8. Hadley of Mis
souri at tho Rome yesterday. "No,
I am not talking politics. Tho Chau
tauqua business is fine. I had several
engagements in Iowa, the last one In
Harlan, and my next appearance is at
Superior, Neb. I am putting in all my
spare time at golf, and if you can make
up a match for me with a republican, a
democrat and a progressive, so as to
save mo from political embarrassment
it will be Just the entertainment I want"
In appearance the Missouri governor
seems to be thriving on Chautauqua
ozone and shows none of the wearing
effects ot his strenuous activity at the
Chicago convention. On the governor's
invitation he talked over the Incidents
there with Victor Rosewater while he ate
breakfast and got his golf game later
with Howard A. Baldrige on the Country
club Unks, taking lunch with friends
prior to an early departure on a west
bound train.
William Whittaker
Leaves Union Pacific
William Whittaker, assistant attorney
for the Union Paclflo and for twenty
five years connected with the company's
legal department at headquarters, has
resigned to engage In private practice.
He will probably open offices In the city,
and with his wide and extensive acquaint
ance his friends believe that he wilt do a
large business right from the start.
When little more than a boy and shortly
after his graduation from law school Mr.
Whittaker associated himself with the
Union Pacific legal department, entering
the company employ as a law clerk. By
close application to business his rise was
rapid, subsequently becoming chief clerk,
then special attorney and later having
charge of the legal matters connect'ed
with claims, having -a large number of
clerks under him. In connection with the
settling and disposition of claims, to a
great extent he looked after the com
pany's local legal business.
During, his years of service with thj
Union Paclflo legal department Mr. Whit
taker had his legal training under such
distinguished lawyers as John M. Thurs
ton, W. R. Kelly, John N. Baldwin and
the present general solicitor of the Union
Pacific, N. H. Loomls.
