The MISUNDERSTANDING About the

From the Omaha Herald.
The misunderstanding about the new
Union Pacific rules having been settled
to the satisfaction of all concerned. the
operating officials are now discussing a
more knotty subject. 1t was learned
yesterday from high authority. that the
committee of engineers now in the city,
are trying to arrange for a new schedule
Of wages for engine drivers west Of Chey-
enne. All Union Pacific engineers are
now paid on a mileage basis. Owing to
the steep grades west of Cheyenne. en-
ginecrs running on that end Of the road,
it is claimed, can not earn as good wages
as those working on the plain divisions.
In addition to this the engineers say that
the cost of living is much higher than in
Nebraska, and consequently their net
wages are much below the standard.
The matter was freely discussed yesterday
by the committee and General Superin-
tendent Smith, and the debate will be
continued to-day. The various points
presented are to be tabulated, and an in
telligible chart prepared so that the situa-
ton may be readily undertood by all
parties In its present condition even
the engineers themselves are not able to
suggest equitable remedies. The nego-
tiations are being conducted with the best

ARMY MATTERS.
The Department Range to be Moves
From Omaha to Sidney.

1t is stated that Gen. Howard has
given orders to cancel the leases for the
land rented near Fort Omaha for a de-
partment rifle range, the orders to take
effect at the end cs this month. 1t was
learned yesterday that this step had been
taken in consequence Of increasing and
outrageous demands Of farmers and land
owners adjoining the range for damages.
The range proper comprises a strip ofland
$50 yards wide and $40 yards long, the
butts etc, at the target end of the
rangs being situated upon a slope and
backed by a ridge. w. o. Lester, who
controlled the ground desired for a range,
leased it to the government at a rental of
$240 (for one months use) per year,
which was considered fair. Then ]. B..
Rockenfield. who owns land on the ridge
beyond, brought in a claim for damages
because the range would interfere with his
building a house there, and the govern
ment allowed him 5000 per
year. 1hlb httutu 70 give the al
joining land owners an idea
that Uncle Sam was a nice fat bird %
pluck, and last season three of them also
gave notice that they wanted damages,
one going SO far as to threaten an i%njunc-
ton. 1t was more than the department
commander could stand. and recently he
issued the order referred to, and, it is
said. contemplates locating the depart
ment range at Sidney.

the case of the alleged neglect of a sick
