THE ORPHANS FAIR
Some Hitherto Unnoted Features OF This
Great Event

Some Hitherto Unnoted Features OF This
Great Event
1t will no doubs be pleasure to the
many patrons of the orphans fair to
learn that this year it will have some
new and altogether more attractive fea-
lures. The first OF these is the Turn
verein hall, which is in many respects
far superior and more delightful than
any other il which this annual fair has
been held.
Owing in e MEASURE to the open-handed
generosity of many public-spirited citi-
zsns, there will be better facilities Tor en-
:ertaining guests, and the menu will be
second to that of no hotel in the city.
But the distinct social feature of the fair
will be the most popular, enjoyable and
altogether reciprocally helpful. On the
opening night the platform will be ocou
pied by fifty or moro representative cit.
liens who have been chosen as vice. presi
dents.
His honor, the mayor, regrets that a
prior engagement will oblige him 20 de-
cline presiding. DR.. Thompson has kind
Iy consented to deliver the grafton. The
musical talent that have volunteered
thei- services throughout the week are
among the best in the city. The booths
are in charge of ladies whose names alone
re suffi ,ient guarantee of the fins quail
lty of the almost infinite variety of goods
to be disposed of.
The Saturday matinee by the orphan
children under the leadership OF Signor
Arevalo, comm encing at 3 O'Clock, will
be in itself a rare musical feature worth
the cost of the weeks admission fee to
the fair. Special care will be taken by
ha fnnr ,t,,it ion lau hvy nt
ers responsible for the success of II Z
charitable WORK, to preserve perfect ord,
and harmony and to promote the greatest
comfort and enjoyment of all visitors. 1t
is from the above manifest that this Or
phans' fair will be in many respects the
great social event OF the season. Where
high intellectual pleasures are thus COM
bined with the best social enjoyments
and botn are subordinate to the divine
work Of charity, the result can be but
blessing and q consolation to all friends
OF the orphans, as well as to the children
themselves.
The opening ceremonies will commence
at o'clock sharp Monday evening.

Ambitious Project Of the Kan
sas City RaiIrOaders
TRUNK LINE CONTEMPLATED
With Connections Running TO the North
and East
Narrow Gauge Lines Will Be Widened to the
Standard and New Bridges
viii Be Built
Associated Press Special Wire


KANSAS UITY, Oct. 10 The Journal
in a leading article tomorrow, will say:
The men who arc building the Kansas
City, Pittsburg s. Gulf railway are not
satisfied with pushing it toward deep
water at Sabine Pass as rapidly as posi-
be. They have ambition to reach out
with vast trunk line to the north and
east. This is the true inwardness of the
surveys that are now being made from
GAINESVILLE, Harrison county, to Des
Moines, Iowa, and to Kansas City. At
Des Moines connections Will be made
with lines running to st. Paul. Minneapolis
and Chicago. When the link between
Kansas City and Des Moines is com pleted
the Kansas City, Pittsburg e. Gulf will
have a continuous line from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago and from these
cities to Kansas City, thence to the Gulf
of Mexico at Sabine Pass. This will ell
able the road to do an enormous busi-
ness in addition to the business on the
main line that it could not do without
these connections. The survey started at
Gainesville. The surveyors then ran the
line to Pattonsburg, Tevis county. thence
TO Weatherbv. DeKalb county, where the
survey crossed the right-of-way of the
Chicago, Rock Island e. Pacific. From
there 1t continued north through Platts-
burg, Clinton county, and Smithville,
Clay county, to the Chicago. Milwaukee
Il st. Paul bridge near Randolph, Clay
county. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to obtain a risht-of-way over the
bridge, provided. of course. the Chicago,
Milwaukee d St. Parl people will con
sent. If they do not, ana4ner bridge will
be built short distance up the river from
it.
There is narrow gauge road between
Gainesville and Des Moines. a distance
of l03 miles. 1t is intended to change this
to standard gauge and mabke 1t part of
the line to Des Moines.
These facts were obtained from an
official of the Kansas City, Pittsburg a.
Gulf Railway company. He said he was
not yet ready to state what lines would
be used between Des Moines and st.
Paul and Minneapolis and between those
cities and Chicago. He would not say
whether other lines would use the bridge
that it is proposed to build if the use of
the Milwaukee bridge cannot be OBJ
tained

After Fellow With . Penchant for Practical
Jokes

Jack Murphy attempted to play prac-
tical joke last night by changing the
reins upon the bride OF gentleman
horse, which had been left standing on
Main street. between First and Second,
and got himself into trouble. He thought
it woult be clever thing to have tho
driver, when he attempted to direct his
horse one way, turn it in the opposite
direction by having the reins crossed
He was just putting on the finishing
touches to his work wnen he was discoy-
cred by the owner. Officer Lehnhausen
was called to arrest the fellow, and while
he was examining the harness to see
what had been done, Murphy started to
run and got good lead before the officer
could follow. He gave chase. however,
and the two had lively sprint up Main
to First where the fugitive turned and
entered Mott alley. In order to divert
attention from himself he kept shouting
"stop him." as though he and the officer
were In pursuit of some one.
Iehnhausen has record as q sprinter
and he overhauled his man before he
had gone far in the alley. All out of
breath the officer arrived at the station
where he booked his prisoner for disturb

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Don NJ. Dick
inson is in Washington with u committee
TO look after the interest of Michigan in
securing more rapid mail service. MIR
Dickinson's name has been spoken of re-
Gently as the one referred to by Sir Lion
ell Sackville-West in his pamphlet as the
mem Der of Mr.. Cleveland's ca pi net re-
sponsible for the minister's summary
dismissal. Mr.. Dickinson was asked
today as to the fac is in the case. He
said:
''As the incident occurred when | was
a member of the cabinet, do not feel at
liberty to diJcuss is. But as to Sir Lion ell
Sackville-West, l have no hesitation in
saying that he is now. and always has
been. an Internal ass.
Mr.. Dickinson was asked for his views
OH Venezuela and Cuba, as it has been
stated of late that he represents an ad-
vanced position on these questions
among leaders OF his party. He said he
did not care to go into them at length.
Tho developments OF no distant dav
would speak more eloqueDtly than worus.
He referred to the fact that Daniel Web.

Greece many years before that country
had actually secured com plete independ.

accused of ''jingoism." Ex-Congressman

The Difficulties Confronting the
Union Pacific
ENORMOUS INDEBTEDNESS
A Second Mortgage Lien is Not Easily
Bonded
Plans Are Not Yet Thoroughly Elaborated,
But the BondhoIders Are Expected
to Be Satisfied
Associated Press Special Wire

OMAHA, Neb., Oct 13.-Oliyer W.
Mink, enc OF the receivers OF the ULion
Paciic, arrived from Boston yesterday
and will remain here few days. Re-
garding the affairs of the Union Pacific
Mr.. Mink said:
Zone of the difficulties which will, of
course, confront the reorganization COM
mittee is the debt due or becoming due
to the United States. Generally this
debt is spoken of itself OF he value of
$50, 10000 The fact that it is secured
by second lien only and that there is no
easy way of determining what it would
sell for if divided into Independent
bonds, dealt in daily on the principal
exchanges of this country and in Europe,
renders the problem all the more diff cult
of solution.
IF the debt were represented by indi-
yiiual bondholders, they could, under
the conditions which now prevail soon
resolve themselves into commission
which would be charged with the power
of negotiating terms of settlement. Un-
der the circum stances the debt would
probably sell for very much less than its
face and in any negotiations carried for
ward by those representing the lien hold
ers its real value and not the book &C.
count of the face of the debt would, of
course, form the basis of negotiations.
Such is the basis of all other negotiations
OF this character.
The extent of the government loan,
which is generally referred to as second
lien, is uncertain. 1t is very doubtful
whether it covers the valuable terminals
in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Kansas
City. while it is certain that it does not
cover any part of the company's lines
west of point 1914 miles from Kansas
City and thence by way OF Denver to
Cheyenne.
ut is not possible for men to speak
with certainty concerning the present
plans or purposes of the reorganization
committee. ANY comprehensive plan
which will placs the onion Pacific prop
osition, will afford a reasonable promise
of fair return and provide for necessary
developments in the near future. ought
to commend itself to the security holders
generally as well as to the United
States.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.-A special to the
Republic from Hot Springs says:
The big contest will take place in Hot
Springs October 3lst. In order to comply
strictly with the laws, the articles OF
agreement for the Florida Athletic club
have been changed from finish contest
to a limited number of rounds, the
referee being vested with full power to

of the city. Coroett will give an exhi-

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 13.-"There
may be fight at Hot Springs, but it
won't ne prize fight" said Governor
Clarke to an Associated Press reporter
this afternoon. II earnestly hope that
extreme measures Il not be necessary.
/ know these men and they are my
friends, and | should regret to be COM
PEELED to adopt harsh measures, but the
law gives ne the power and supplies the
means and il the necessity arises l shall
certainly prevent the fight at any cost.
The governor finds the law OF 1891 was
not legally enacted, leaving the state
without law on the subject of prize light
ing. The law of 1888, in his opinion. in
vests in the executive all the authority
with which to carry cut the policy he
has decided upon.
Under its operation, the governor is al
lowed almost unlimited latitude and
could declare the district in rebellion and
could not only drive out by force all the
parties concerned with the disturbance
but could arrest and imprison without
process OF law.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 13.-Sheriff
Houpt of Hot Springs, was in the city last
night and held long interview with
Governor Clarke. Said he:
My mind has besn fully made up all
along as to what course | would pursue.
/ intended to use nv authority on the
day of the fight and I would have sue

''That crowd would have dunn ped $500,
600 in Hot Springs and the law would
not have been violated. I had made ar.
rangements for sou men had that mum Der

He said that Judge Duffv's request for

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.--A beautiful
young Russian princess, Vera Keknotoff,
who has been living in exile with her
husband here, is insane and confined In
Bellevue hospital. Prince Keknotoff, her
husband. who belongs to prominent
family in Pollatoa, Russia, was exiled
from his native town two years ago on
account of connection with the nihilists.
His wife followed him few months
later. They secured rooms in the house
of DR.. J. ]. Sullivan, president OF the
Vigilance league. The prince made sew
eral Intellectual attempts to obtain en-
ployment. The remittances he received
every month from home barely supported
him and his wife, and at last ceased.
The rent became due. but DIR. Sullivan,
knowing Keknotoffs' history. was lenient
with him and allowed him to retail his
room. According to the doctor, the
couple has frequently gone two or three
days without food, being too proud to
beg or to let their neighbors know of
their unfortunate condition. The young
wife few days ago began to show signs
OF insanity. She began 10 act strangely,
and at last grew SO demonstrative that
her husband was reluctantly induced to
agree to her removal TO the hospital,

DENVER. Oct. 13.-A dispatch to the
News from Helena, Mont, says:
Fire has been raging furiously in the
Muir tunnel on the Northern Pacific,
between Bohemian and Livingston, for
nearly month. Two weeks ago both
ends were sealed up for the purpose of
smorhering the tlre. Tuesday they were
unsealed until it was found there was
much less smoke in the passageway than
at any time since the fire broke out. A
large fan will be placed in position at
one end of the tunnel and an effort made
to create draught. The damage to the
tunnel cannot be estimate at this time,
but IT is believed to be very heavy. Large
qua nt,ties of earth have fallen IN on
the track. Trains are being transferred
on the new track recently constructed
over the mountains. The tunnel is about
1910 feet long.
