longer loved her that he loved no one. AT
various times he begged her to agree to a
separation. She positively declined for the
chidren's sake.
He asked her to remain in TENNESSEE but
she declined, saying she would return to
Fort Worth when she completed her visit,

the hands of his wife's brother. Mrs. Pen
dleton says while heurged her to agree to a
separation, h1 never spoke of di-
vorce. Mayor Pondletons resigna-
tion was received this morning

Ugly Reports Concerning Certain
South ON aha Councilmeu

The Chicago, Rock Island Il Pacific rail
road will soon extend its tracks from the
south through South Omaha to the Union
stock yards The coming in of that company
has caused considerable talk and many com
plants. Ordinance No. 20 was resented in
the South Omaha council, authorizing the
company TO eXtcnd its tracks through the
city. The ordinance, as first drawn, evil
IDENTIFY by the attorneys for the railroad com
pany, was referred back by the council. At
granting the rightof-way and vOcatng Ger

1t is now claimed on the part of the prop
erty holders that no provision was made in
the ordnance 70 protect their rights or to
only will streets be vacated, but at places the
cutting off all direct communication between
certain parts of the city. Some of the streets
will be filled upneany as high as the upper
stories of the houses A large part Of Al

Ugly rumorS now fill the air Charges of
bribery and corruption have beon made with
out much pretcnsc of secrecy. Two mem
berS of the council have been charged with
receiving $1,000 each for their influence IN
this public improvements while sufficient
facts have leaked out to cause citizens TO
take active steps in the matter, The facts
have been submitted to County Attorney
Mahoney for investigation and Official action.
The feeling among citizens is quite bitter,

CozAD, Neb., July 1s-ISpecial to THE
BEE. About three months ago n mann named
$. Schradcr came TO Cozad aud opened nego-
tiations for the renting of thecrcamery build
Ing from the First National bank, who hold a
heavy mortgage against the same through the
failure of the Creamery company about a
year ago
The gentleman was very reticent in all his
tran SaCLiOns and no one knew what he was
doing until he had been here about four
weeks, when ii was given out that the bank
had leased him the building for one year free
of charge.
He Immediately went through the country
soliciting farmers TO furnis n him with cream
This was no easy matter as the farmers had
been swindled out Of large amounts bycream-
cries heretofore He at length succeeded to
getting his routes the business
went on smoothly. Circulars were issued by
him in which he stated that the cream shonld
be paid for the 18th of each month; the first
payment. however. should be suspended six
weeks This was all salts factory to many
that just recently were "duped," and
Tuesday the 18th was the day set for their
first pay.
Tuesday came and with It came many of
his route men, but Schrader was no where to
be found. An invests CATION showed that he
had disposed of all the butter on handthe day
before and made IL draft on the c0nsignees for
the amount of the same, and that he had
shipped for a colder cline.
Nearly every business firm in Cozad is a
victim. Attachments were issued last night
at II o'clock and nothing was fouud on the
premises that indicated the active work of
the institution for the last six weeks. Many
farmers are victims. and as usual they are in
great state of excitement.
SChrader associated with no one all the
time he was here, and nOone knows any
thing about him. This is the most gigantic
swindle that was ever perpetrated in this
part of the state, and should Schrader make
himself prominent around here he wildoubt-
less be tarrcd and feathered.
