the Center and Dodge street roads and a
resolution was offered to grant a request OF
the company for the payment to it of IL
per cent reserve, which 1t is usual for the
county board to keep for a year. This 10
per cent amounts to s1,367.24. The COM
pany agrees to give a bond of S 1880 from
some guaranty company. This matter was
laid over until the next meeting.
A request from Cadet Taylor, president OF
the associate members of the Thurston
Rifles, and Mrs. C. E.. White of the
Woman's auxiliary for donations of rugs

Learned and the county over land she
, claims the county has taken from her.

City within a few days to asusme formal

oregon Short Line. His principal office will
still be maintained in this city, but he will
also have an office in Salt Lake City. John

the Short Line and formerly division engi-
neer of the Union Pacific in charge of the
Short Line work, will remain in his present
position, but will be subordinate to Mr..
Berry and will report to him.
The appointment Is no surprise in Union
Pacific circles here. 1t Is no secret that
Mr.. Berry stands closer to President Burt
than any other man on the Union Pacific
road. and his rapid advancement has been
noted on all sides. Soon after Mr.. Bur-
came to the Union Pacific from the North

OKLAHOMA GETS ITS REWARD
Exposition Starts a Great Influx of
People to h Territory-OpiniOn
of an Agent.

Edward Whitehead, who was connected
with the Oklahoma exhibit during the expo
sition and who was subsequently appointed
immigration agent for the Santa Fe road,
came In from the south yesterday to re-
main in the city for several days.
Mr.. Whitehead was one Of the most en-
thusiastic Of the Oklahoma boomers, and 1t
was largely due to this that he secured the
position which he now holds. Speaking Of
the exposition and its effect upon the south
west, he said: The amount OF good that
the exposition did our section of the coun-
try has been immense. AS a result Of the
advertising that We did here, thousands OF
settlers have been turned in our direction.
and l feel safe in saying that the rush has
hardly commenced. The money that our ter
ritory invested in the exhibit has been paid
back a dozen times, and the beginning has
not hardly commenced.
o course l am unable to speak for other
sections of the great west, but l am of the
opinion that every locality has been greatly
benefited. The eastern people came here
or at least many of them came with the
idea that they were to see a country fair
but when they discovered that this was an
exposition that in many respects excelled the
Worlds fair, they commenced to look around
to ascertain what kind Of a country we have
out here, and to learn something Of it's Won
derful resources, which never before had
been fully exploited. This looking around
has resulted in bearing fruit and with the
immigration that has already set in and
will continue for years to come, l certainly
| feel that the exposition was a great success
in every respect.
EVERY day we are receiving letters from
all over the country and in almost every in
stance the writer's refer to the Omaha ex'
position, stating that here they learned more
Of the west than they ever before knew"

ton when the hour came to adjourn for the
day, his direct testimony taking up all the
afternoon. To questions put to him by Mr.. !
Mahoney and Judge Scott he corroborated
what Akoun had already stated. Emil Lermy
acted as his interpreter and sometimes the
judge thought there was too much conver>
sation passing between the witness and
Lermy.
Toward the last Zitoun made it appear
that Attorneys Montgomery and Richard s.
Hall had tried to squeeze the Streets of AN
Nations people to the extent of So, 900, but
with something of braggadocio he said he

Of dyspepsia is the natural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the same

MATTERS IN DISTRICT COURT
Exposition Contempt Case brings Out
Interesting Information in Regard
to an Attorneys Opinion.

The testimony of Mardoce Zitoun was the
main incident OF the hearing of the exposi-
tion contempt case yesterday morning, Judge
Scott did a little interrogating himself. He
brought out of the witnesse a statement to
the effect that Carroll Montgomery, the gen.
eral counsel Of the exposition, had told him
to not mind any orders from Judge Scott,
as Judge Scott was a fool" and to swear
that the camels belonged to him, though
they did not. Attorney r. S. Hall objected
to these questions, but the court paid nc
heed. The entire morning was consumed
with the testimony Of Zitoun. much Of II
being OF an irrelevant character. The evil
dence was given In the French language and
therefore had to go through the medium OF
an Interpreter. Zitoun said Benyakar's con-
nection with the Streets OF All Nations was
that of a mere master Of ceremonies. Zitour
and CASTOR AkouI were the chief proprie-
tors of the Streets of All Nations.
Zitoun had not reached his ross -examina

do not, then the matter will be dropped. so
far as the club is concerned. AS to the

building n Rich Road.

Three hundred men are now at work
building a small railroad that 1t Is expected
will prove to be the richest road for its
size in the United States. 1t is the Crystal
River railroad In a wonderfully rich mining
region OF Colorado, and it will be complete
with trains running over It by January 1.
The road Is being built by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, the officers OF which
expect to get a rs per cent dividend from
the new road for a number OF years to come.
The first section Of the road will be twenty
miles in length, from Carbonate up the
valley Of Rock creek. The second section
OF the road will be twelve miles in extent
and will be built later on.

viii Discuss Redemption Now.

SIOUX CITY, Nov. 12.-(Special.) -D. L.
Plumer OF Wausau, Wis, president. of the
Credits Communication company, is in the
city comforting with f. l.. Eaton, general
manager, on railroad matters. He will re-
main in the city several days, going over
the affairs Of the Sioux City, O'Neil & West
ern and Sioux City & Northern roads. He
would not express an opinion as to whether
his company would take advantage Of its
the judgment Of the supreme court in the
J. Kennedy Tod case. He said all the d.
rectors Of the company, which includes the
executive committee, will meet the first
week in December in Sioux City to consider
the matter Of redemption and he did not care
to speculate on their action.
It is me intention of the Credits Com
mutation company to renew the fight In
congress for a connection with the Union
Pacific on a basis Of Il fair division Of the
freight. 1--WE are fighters" said Mr.
Plumer, "and at no time have entertained
any other idea in this matter But that WI
ultimately will win.
When asked what his company would
want with a connecting line between O'Nei
and North Platte, II it did not own the
Pacific Short Line or some other line tc
Sioux City, Mr.. Plumer shook his head ant
said that would be talking about railroads

j. l.. DeBevOise to Retire from the
Service on December 4.
Further changes in the passenger depart
ment Of the Rock Island road are announced.
j. l.. DeBevoise, formerly stationed here
and now general agent at Portland, Ore,
will retire from the service on December 1.
SO will Phil Rupp, travelling passenger agent
out Of Chicago, also well known in Omaha.
The latter will be succeeded by Frank l..
Miller. now city passenger and ticket agent
at Lincoln. Neb. A. E. Cooper, now district
passenger agent at Wichita, Kan, will 20
to Portland to succeed DeBevoise. The po-
sitions of general excursion agent, city pas
senger agent at Lincoln and district passen-
ger agent at Wichita have not yet been
filled 1t Is not improbable that
there may be other changes before
the first Of the month rolls around
Charles Kennedy, general eastern agent
and formerly stationed in Omaha as general
agent, will remain at his present position
1t Is a source Of qualification to the Omaha
patrons Of the Rock Island that Charles A
Rutherford will remain here as genera
agent Of the passenger department. Samue
+. Boyd, who has been first assistant gen.
eral passenger agent for a number Of years
will exchange places with L. NJ. Allen, nov
general agent at Davenport, la.
The changes made are Indicative Of a more
aggressive policy on the part OF the passen'
ger department Of the Rock Island road dur
ing the coming year. The whole department
has undergone a big shake-up, and as re-
constructed 1t Is thought to be one OF thu
strongest passenger departments in tn
United States. The Encouragement Of assist
