PBOPOSED LINE IS SURVEYED Thoask the Road Will B Known ns tho Hastings A Northern It Will Be n Part of the Union Pa cific System. Survsjr of the Gibbon and Hastings cut-oft of the Union Pacific has been approved arid construction ordered, but It Is not likely that much work will be done until late this fall. It Is ezpectod, however, that the line will be In opera tion by the first of the year; the cut-off will be thirty miles long and, as It will be built across a level country, comple tion will require only about sixty days. The cut-off on the railroad mnp Is known as the Hastings & Northern, but It Is really a proposed portion of the Union Pacific, Its Incorporators being President Mohler -and Chief Engineer Huntley. Nothing will be done In the way of construction until after the com pany meeting, which Is called for October a At that time it Is probable that a 115,000,000 bond Issue will be authoring and as soon as the securities are sold the proceeds will be used for grading, build ing the bridges and purchasing equip ment . M'GINNIS TO RUN FOR BUT ONE OFFICE THIS FALL K. W. McQInras has handed to the re publican county central committee ht resignation from the position of candi date for deputy county assessor. He was recently nominated by the county central committee as candidate for constable. When he was nominated it was not re membered that he was already a candi date for deputy assessor. When he dis covered he was a candidate for both offices he resigned from the one and chose the candidacy for constable, which Is more to his liking than the assessor-ship. Industrial side of Nebraska shown in vivid colorings A few days ago, a distinguished foreigner visi ted Omaha to make some observations along a certain line of industries on which he is an authority. He went through one of the big plants of the city from top to bottomland then he exclaimed: "This is the most won derful thing of the kind in the world. There is nothing that will compare with it anywhere for size, modern methods of efficiency and economy, or amount of output." . Do you know what plant he had reference to? Indeed, do you know much about the big in dustrial plants of Omaha and the state? And if you, citizen of Omaha and Bee reader, know little or next to nothing, how, much less is known by people outside the city and state as to how Omaha has grown to be a producing, manu facturing and distributing center, and as to what important lines of busi ness have been established here! " Nebraska Development umber of The Omaha Bee .Wich xis p0ii)pTepared with infinite labor aijd "at great, expense MHfelP .you about Industrial Nebraska. ' " ' vXVi-N-'fe It is a: plan to advertise Omaha and Nebraska; to teach the world at large, including ourselves, : what a commanding trade position our city holds; what a sweep of territory it supplies; what extraordinary facilities it has; what, and how many important lines of business, are already established here, how prosperous they are, and what splendid opportunities there, are, for others. , It is conceded that The Bee has never put cut anything cheap or shoddy; but it is believed that no. daily newspaper anywhere has ever issued so costly, so elaborate and so valuable a num ber, as this will be; A copy will go free to every reader of The Bee Many business houses, however, will desire to use it as part of their own advertising plan. No one knows how. far these copies will travel,' or what new channels of trade they will open up. It is suggested, therefore, that railroads, manu facturers, jobbers, commercial organizations, banks, insurance companies, land companies, live stock and grain commission houses, and other busi ness men, indicate. to us at once how many copies they will require. The issue is a very large one, but it may easily fall short of the demand. -v f please deliver V . , On publication ease.8en(J attache(J J. ........... . . ...copies of the NEBRASKA DEVELOPMENT NUMBER THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE for which find enclosed $....

Besty, a restauranteur, in v district court, the action being the result of building im provements being made by Neville' at Dodge and North Sixteenth streets, f More than a year ago Neville leased a large storeroom at 109 North Sixteenth street to John Bashllos and George Cos mas for a shoe shining parlor. They sub leased half of the room to Beaty for a restaurant. . Beaty alleles that when Neville leased the property to the Greeks he well understood that they would sub let part of It to Beaty. The restauranteur alleges that Neville has started building operations south of the property, the building material, scaf folding and changes made in the old building making the restaurant room un tenable. He says he has been forced to conduct his business at a loss and his -entire Investment in the business is a total loss.
