LET THE Bug HOP.
Tic Republican Again Out With the Wager
That Its Circulation Exceeds That Of
iAny Paper In the State.

A "Market street business man." who
has more faith In the REPUBLICAN as an
advertising medium than In any other of
the city's papers, writes this morning con-
ce"ing Every Evenings boast OF larger
circulation han any other newspaper lie
says; l believe this is untrue. l am payr
ing you money right along for adver-
tisiny This paper wants it, They offe r
double circulation. They are unre liable
in many things and l believe untrnthful
in this. But why not call them down.
Your advertisers will begin to bel eve their
story pretty soon. Tell them they lie; and
back 1t up"
The suggestion is good one, and the
REPUBLICAN, acl S on 1t II second time but
not because we are afraid our advertisers
Twill begin to believe their story" The
columns of the REPUBLICAN show that the
majority of the business men patronize
tho REPUBLICAN and on legitimate busi'
ness basis at that They patronize it be.
cause 1t brings tho best returns. Ask them
and learn for yourself.
But to 'call them down." as the Market
street business men" says, .ls seemin- J
unnecessary. Yet something to prove H. .
they arc circulation liars is demanded an d
here IL iss This REPUBLICAN will deposit
in any bank in the city that Every Even

Evenings circulation is not twice rs large
as that Of the REPUBLICAN; SlOJ that it IL
not a paper larger, and $50 that 1t Is not
as large The only conditions Of tho con.
test Is that ii one wager is accepted all

Tho REPUBLICAN, made the same wager
some time ago but Every Evenings man'

Quite an animated discussion took place
yesterday morning in the Municipal Court
room after court had adjourned, between
q we'll known reporter on one OF the after
noon papers and Milk-nspector Walter A.
McEvilly. Tho discussion was over the
action Of the members of the: Bayard Le-
glon in stopping the reporter from cntering
their headquarters on the night of the 25th
anniversary without having ticket. For
II time it looked as if it would be goldfish
balls and coffee for two.
Walter said the pencil pusher was not
in his class and the reporter invited Walter
out in front of tho city hall and there
settle their differences according to the
codo known on the coast as goas you can.
That il, the lleetest footed Pedestrian was
to get the medal which is now held by Tho
genial milk inspector. Walter declined
and q regular war of words ensued in the
presence of Judge Ball. Captain Kane and
several other police officers. For time il
wa, thought that blood would be spilled
but luckily tho "mill" ended al it began,
in war of words This is only the be-
ginning of the end, so the newspaper man
s,ys: What fools we morlals bc-Shakc-
Speare.

UNION PACIFIC SALE. !
Tho Reorganization Committee Now
in Full Control.
RECEIVER TRUMBULL's PROTEST.
Objected to the Sale of Certain Two
Miles Which Is Claimed by Both the
Denver and Gulf Road.

Omaha, Nov. 2.-The interest of the
United States government in the Union
Pacific railroad terminated yesterday,
when. at the foreclosure sale Of the
mortgage held by the United States,
the road was purchased by the COM
mittee of eastern capitalists formed
for its reorganization.
The full amount accruing to the Uni
ted States from the sale cannot be
given exactly, but 1t is estimated to be
$5S,065, ,748.40. 1t was impossible to de-
termine the full amount at the time
of the sale, for the reason that the
monthly statement made by the Sec
retary of the treasury to the manage
ment Of the Union Pacific on the first
of every month was not available, and
1t was found necessary to estimate
some items, although 1t Is admitted by
both sides that the estimates are ap-
proximately correct.
The amount due to the government
is made up as follows: Principal of
debt. $27,23G,512; interest paid by the
government up to Sept. 80, 1897, $780,
S3OSSS.37; interest accrued by Sept. 80,
and still unpaid, 1926. .147.68; interest
accrued in October, sos, ,3S2.56; total due
the government, 5S,44S, ,92S.45.
Against this are the following credits:
Cash and bonds in sinking fund, $1S,-
S2,466.53: estimated credits for the
quarter ending Sept 80, and for the
month of October including govern
ment earnings and the interest on bonds
in the sinking fund. amount not yet
credited 1884, 1921; total credit, S1S,-
565,64074. Total debt of the railroad to
the government, $5S,44S.92S.61 Total
credit of railroad with government,
$1S,565, ,646.74.
After the sale was concluded General
Corwin, the representative of the gov
ernment, was assured by the commit
tee that If the amounts We're not accu-
ratey figured or should differ from the
figures given, whatever may be lack
ing would be paid by the committee,
and will in no way be allowed to inter-
fere with the confirmation of the sale.
There was no opposition to the COM
mittee, and no bids were offered against
theirs.
A protest was presented from Man
aging Receiver Frank Trumbul, of the
Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf rail-
road, against the sale with the Union
Pacific property of two miles of track
on the Cheyenne and Northern road,
the two miles being claimed by both
the Union Pacific and the Union Pa
cifc, Denver and Gulf. Mr.. Cornish,
after reading the protest, announced
that any prospective purchaser of the
road must be willing to encounter the
consequence of the protest, and that
no guarantee of their ownership by the
Union Pacific was included in the sale.
This was agreeable to the reorganza-
tion committee, and the sale proceeded.
None of the reorganization commit
tee care to make any statement re-
garding the Kansas Pacific sale. which
has been postponed until Dec. Is. None
of them would say word as to |
whether the committee intended to bid |
