The failure of Francis J. Schultz, the pub
Usher, is a matter of regret to the book-loving
people of Chicago, as well as to the writer's
who have had dealings with the bright young
business man of the literary circle Mr.. Schultz
Is young-not much over thirty years of age.
but in the few years in which he had built ND a
large business he had found time to make a
most OF friends. 1t was his generosity which
caused the failure-the taking up OF accommo-
dation paper for the late Horace O'Donohue.
Schulte's work bid fair to make Chicago liter
airy center. His publications were of a higher
grade than those Of the most of his competitors.
and in selecting his matter he showed rare
Judgment. He was noted at the Writer'S Club
and at the Press Club for his fair dealings and
lovable personality. Wherever he went he
made friends. and in consequence he brought
TO chicago the publication of many of the best
works of contemporary fiction. Eugene Field,
John McGovern, Opie p. Read, Leroy Arm
strong, Austin Granville and most of the other
weil-known writer's of this city intrusted the
printing of their works to him and Join with
those who regret his misfortune

With the growth of the city the newspapers
Will be obliged to look for great portion of
their supply Of matter to the south The West
ern Union Telegraph Company in one night
shifted thousand wires with switchboard and
a mile south of their old structure and as far
from the newspaper center. With the tele-
graph company went the Associated Press,
whose Chicago office is the most important In
the country. With 1t, too, went the City Press
Association, with its large staff. and the Lake
Marine News Association, which is to those in
terested in lake shipping what the Associated
Press is to the general public.
The removal OF the great news gathering

offices with the Western Union building by a
system of pneumatic tubes which pass under
ground and when in working order will convey
pouches of manuscript at the rate of mile a
minute to the various offices. The system is an
entirely new one and. has been adopted by the
engineers in charge of the work after thorough
examination Of those in vogue in the principal
cities Of Europe. 1t is expected that the new
system will have widespread results as a model
for general system Of pneumatic transmission

George Burke s. Fraziefp Explain a Little
Matter NOW in Conrt. aa-s.
SOUTH OMAHA, Dec. 9.LTo the Editor of
THE BEE: The following item appeared in
the World Herald of this 9th inst:
In the district court yesterday suit was be-
gun against George Burke & Frazier, a live
stock commission firm OF South Omaha, for f.
III. Rawlins & Sons, Il New Hampshire corpora
tion doing business in Colorado, for 81 ,2ol 90,
claimed TO be due Rawlins & Sons for the pro-
ceedS of IL sale of cattle.
AS the impression carried by the above
Item places us in a false light before the
public, we wish to make the following ex-
planation;
On November 0, ult., we received thirty
two cars of cattle. consigned to us by Nc
Corkle & Aud, against which L. Ii. Rawlins
" Sons presented a claim of $1,000. We sold
the cattle and held the proceeds for a settle
ment between the claimants, w, L. Aud and
Rawlins " Sons, thelatUer being represented
by their attorney, Mr.. Albert Il. Reynolds.
On November IL the parties came to an
agreement whereby Mr.. Reynolds, as attor-
ney for Rawlins & Sons, gave us the follow
ing order:
SOUTH OMAHA, NebY Nov; II, 1s93.-George
notes of Salem NJ. Hardy for like amount to be
delivered to me, you are hereby instructed to
pay to W. 7; Aud Sls.29l.9l being proceeds in
part OF cattle consigned to you by McCorkle &
Signed: +. II. RAwLINs & SoYs.
by ALBERT l.. REYNOLDS, Attorney.
1t was at the same time agreed between
the gentlemen that the $1,000 was to be left
in our hands pending agreement between
them as to its proper disposition. Later,
Rawlins & Sons demanded the $4,000 and w.
T. Aud ordered US not to pay il over; we
kept on the safe side and held TO it.
Now Rawlins & Sons bring suit for the
entire amount of proceeds of cattle,
making us party to the suit, we being in
no way liable further than TO pay over the
5000 to whom the court may direct when
the case is decided, the SIS 900 being a
matter of dispute between w. I. Aud and
Rawlins Il Sons; we having nothing what
ever to do with it.
Thinking at the time that this matter
might be taken into court we took the pre-
caution to relieve ourselves of all liability
by securing an A | indemnifying bond from
w. Il. Aud in the sun of 81, 900.

efforts have failed to secure thus far full
particulars of the Lisbon wreck on the
Southern Pacific last night. Passenger No. 2
lett here four hours late and reached Lisbon
about 9 o'clock, The road west of here
is literally lined with tramps, who have
made bloody threats since the road
has refused to haul them. An employe
of the road today told n reporter of the
Associated press that the cause of the
wreck was q loose rail and it was supposed
that tramps did the work. No one was
killed, but the coaches were badly wrecked
ana several people were bruised.
Train No. 20, under charge of Conductor
Rich and Engineer McClosky, left the track
at u point ten miles east OF here at o'clock
last night. The train was a few hours late
and was running about forty miles an hour
when 1t struck a broken fish plate and the
entire train left the track. The coaches
were dragged some distance before topping
over. Some Of them were thrown twenty
feet from the track and landed on their side.
The Pullman car was the least damaged and,
fortunately, the cars did not eaten fire,
About 1850 passengers were aboard and the
coolheads directed the more excited ones, so
that the passengers were successfully gotten
out.
A special train was sent from ~lordourg
and brought the wounded and frightened
passengers here. Thirty-seyen OF then
were cut and bruised, but none of the in
iuries are serious. Another train was made
up and nearly all the belated passengers
continued their Journey.

a mistaken idea for any one to create the
impression that Che influx of the foreign
element at Hawaii is responsible for loose

islands among some native women. That

Speaking of Prince David, MIR. Thurston
branded him as a manufactured prince
related in a very distant manner to the
queen. He praised President Dole's ability
and spoke somewhat enthusiastically of
the resources of Hawaii, but suddenly
stopped with the remark That he was

ncXation he said that he expressed his views
fully in the past to the American pubic and
had nothing to retract in that respect.

Minister Thurston laughed and made no
answer. He merely shook his head.
The train now pulled out for Nebraska

ton related the fact that he first visited
Omaha in 1882, and had passed through the
city several times since. He asked If a new

present structure was not in keeping with
the progress of the city.
