OMAHA. Nov. 2-The ReorganiZa-

which yesterday bought the Govern
ment lien the second mortgage on the
property of the Union Pacific, to-day
purchased the first mortgage on the
same property, by which the construc-

paid was the amount named as the
minimum bid, so, ,637 ,435. The prop
erty was bought as was the second
mortgage yesterday by the name of
Louis Fitzgerald and Alvin Krech. as
purchasing trustees.
The sale to-day was, if possible, more
uninteresting than yesterday, not over
forty people being present 1t was il
o'clock to the minute when Master in
Chancery Cornish mounted the stone
steps in front of the Ninth-street en-
trance to the Union Pacific freight de-
pot, and began reading the notice of
the sale and the description Of the prop
erty.
This consumed just thirty-six min
utes. and he then read the same notice
of protest from the Union Pacific, Den
yer and Gulf Road against the sale
of two miles Of track of the Cheyenne
and Northern Road, which is claimed
by the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf
and the Union Pacific, that he read yes
terday. He announced that the pur-
chaser must take the property subject
to the protest, and asked for bids for
the property, the description of which
he had just read.
General Louis Fitzgerald repeated his
performance of yesterday, saying: Il
bid for the property fifty millions, six
hundred and thirty-seven thousand,
four hundred and thirty-five dollars"
Master in Chancery Cornish repeated
the amount, adding: Are there any
other bidders? Does anybody else de-
sire to bid?"
Apparently nobody cared to avail
himself of the privilege and then Mr..
Cornish continued: 'Inasmuch as the
bid of Louis Fitzgerald and Alvin w.
Krech. purchasing trustees, is the high
est bid, and the only bid, declare the
property sold to them for the sum of
fifty million, six hundred and thirty
seven thousand. four hundred and thir-

and as there is no other property to be
sold, the thing is finished"

RABBIT STALKING.
How to Catch Them Feeding, and
Get Them OFF the Run.

Rabbit stalking is essentially an early
autumn sport, although rabbits may
be shot all the year round.
The best way to get near rabbits, and
to be certain of knocking over a young
one, is to stalk them and kill them sit
ting. This is sport which consists in
the exercise of skill and judgment, re-
quired to take the best advantage of
the ground and get within shot
LAS a boy I used to be famous for
crawling on my stomach from one end
of a meadow to the other, holofng the
gun in one hand, with the muzzle point
ed in 'front.' says one well-known
sportsman, and this, in fact, is a very
good method of warfare
In stalking, much depends upon OBJ
servation of the animals movements.
When it is cropping the grass with its
ears laid carefully back, you may ad-
vance cautiously but surely, safe in the
conviction that, intent upon it's repast,
it pays little attention to sounds not
especially obtrusive.
But when, after taking a good
mouthful, it lifts its head to chew and
swallow it, up goes its ears at the same
time, you had better remain per-
fectly still until it begins to feed again,
for this is its period of watchfulness.
when the slightest noise the mere
swapping of twig, would send it off,
far out of your reach.
1t sometimes happens that, from the
shape of the ground, it is impossible to
come within fair shooting distance, and
a rabbit sitting requires to be harder
hit than a rabbit running, because
when crouched up the vital parts are
protected by the limbs and the folds of
the skin. When such is the case it is q
good plan to attract the animals atten-
ton when feeding by some slight
movement; for then, without becoming
sufficiently alarmed to make off at once.
it will endeavor to discover whence the
noise arises by raising itself up on it's
hind legs. and SO offer a more vulnera-
BILE mark.
Rabbits with young ones come out al
most always early in the morning and
the evenings. To catch a rabbit alive,
by suddenly pouncing down upon it
when it is munching away at a tuft of
grass, is even a feat possible to skilled
rabbiters.
With a first-rate terrier, one that is
small enough to make its way between
the bushes, and is not afraid of briars,
numbers of rabbits may be killed; fer
rets, too. are often used by the rabbiter,
although they are rather troublesome.
and many are the lodges necessary on
the part of the hunter to lure obstinate
ferrets from the holes; to have ferret
kill five rabbits and then calmly go to
sleep beside his victims is the expert
ence of one boy who went on rab-
bit shooting expedition. A low whistle

DENVER'S POSTMASTER DEAD.
Took a Fatal Dose of Morphine by
Mistake.

DENVER, Nov. 2-James II. Jordan,
Postmaster of Denver, died at midnight
from the effects of an overdose of NOR
phdne pills taken last evening, suppos-
ing them to be cathartic pills.
Jordan was born at Shreveport, La,
in 1S41. In New Orleans he became
actively identified with Democratic pol
itics. In 1891 he came to Denver. He
was appointed Postmaster here through
the influence of Louisiana members of
Congress. His administration has Civ
en- general satisfaction. His term
would have expired February 20. 1898.
Mr.. Jordan was one of the most en-
thusiastic promoters of the annual
festival of Mountain and Plain. The
experience gained in New Orleans in
mardi gras festivals was invaluable,
and many of the most pleasing features
of Denver's festival were originated by
him.

EASTERN GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Opens Weak at Chicago
but Closes at an Advance.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Wheat started
weak at from 95% to 957s for December,
about 11ac below the closing prices of
the day before. The tendency during
the greater part of the forenoon was
toward a further break, and that was
made easy by the dullness of trade.
About an hour and half from the
opening, December got down to 9ol4c.
Chicago receipts We're 70 cars. Llv-
erpool quotations for futures were ia
vorable to the bears, but California
wheat on spot there was I'D higher
than it closed the day before. The fu-
lures opened from sd to sd per CEN
tai lower. A report from st. Louis
said five mills had closed there, the
reason given being that they could not
sell their -four at a profit based on
present prices of wheat.
Argentine crop news continued to be
of it's previous favorable complexion.
Further rains have fallen throughout
the drought stricken district east of the
Mississippi, and a material improve
ment in the pasturage and winter
wheat prospects is looked for. All this
was known before the opening, and was
responsible for the weakness shown
during the morning.
The first matter of clearly bullish
enough character to arrest the strong
downward tendency was the report in
the Orange Judd Farmer" of the acre
age and condition of winter wheat as it
stood October 23d. That report indi-
Gates the worst prospect for a winter
wheat crop next season ever known at
this time of year.

THE KANSAS PACIFIC.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-In discuss
ing the sale Of the Kansas Pacific Rail-
road on December 18th and the asser-
tions that the Government interests in
that property have been impaired by
the sale of the Union Pacific, Attorney
General McKenna said: "The owner
ship of the Kansas Pacific is part of the
committees scheme of reorganization.
The members hold liens similar to those
of the Government. They cannot make
them good except by the ownership of
the road Besides, they are owners of
the first mortgage. They must bid to
make that good. But suppose the COM
mittee does not bid? Others will. The
Government may.
THE years 1890, 1891 and 1892 are
the real tests of the Kansas Pacific's
net income and it can be put down at
81 900. 900 and this is 4 per cent. on
$4,000, 900, 5 per cent on S20,0000O0.
Does any sane business man believe.
therefore that the Reorganization Com

twice that amount, 5 per cent. on near

junior to that of the Government, and
which in such event would be a total
loss? Would not this policy, to use
