CHARGED WITH CAR H0LDUP
Authorities Believe They Have the
Assailnnts of Conductor Kirken-
dali I'm the Tolls.

AL Green, alias James Gordon, and Bert
Downey, heretofore called Doran, we're ar
raigned in Justice Fosters court yesterday
on complaint filed by Assistant County
Attorney Helsley, charging them with the
robbery of Conductor Kirkendall on a West
Farnam street car. The hold-up which these
men are accused Of took place last August
and lost the street car company S765. The
men pleaded not guilty and their hearing was
set for November 10. bond being fixed at
81 900 each. In default OF bond mittimus
was issued for their confinement in the
county jail.
Green and Downey are the men cleverly
caught by the police Thursday night on n
very slender clue. Offcer Edghill overheard
conversation about kit of burglars tools
and Immediately laid plans for the capture
of its owners. A train Of circumstantial ev-
idence connects these men with an attempt
on the safe OF the Waterloo Creamery COM
pany, but 1t is believed that a very strong
case can be made out againet them for the
car hold-up and they will be prosecuted for
that first.

NEW STATIONS ESTABLISHED
Extensions of Both the Burlington
and Rock Island Are Ready
for Operation.

Important, although not extensive extern
sions continue to be made by the Burlington
and Rock Island railroads at various points
throughout the west. Numerous new sta
tions are being opened as the result of these
operations and splendid territory heretofore
lacking proper railroad facilities is being
opened up. The Burlington has just COM
pleted an extension from Grant City to AL
bany, Mo-. and three new stations have
been opened-Gentry, Worth and Albany
Junction The new folder of this line, which
will be issued November 5, will show more
stations In operation than any previous fold
ers in several years. Another important
disclosure will be made in the change of
the figures showing the actual mileage of the
Burlington system. For several years each
folder has announced conspicuously: "The
Burlington operates 7,422 miles in eleven
western states" This expression has be-
come somewhat stereotyped because OF its
long use. BY reason of the numerous ex-
tensions which have been completed and
are now in operation the folder will show
1858 miles as the present mileage OF the
Burlington system.
While the Rock Island is not building ex-
tensively Iew lines are being opened, espe-
cally in the southwest, and advices have
been received at the local Offices stating
that the line south from Enid, Okl., is in
operation for twenty miles and new sta
tion, Cooper. has been established.

lor Bessey Of the university recently wrote
as follows: Il have been engaged for thirty
years as teacher in state colleges and
in all this time / have never seen any evil
dence of the irrel.giousness which is some
times said to exist in such colleges. On the
cyntrary have noted the strength of pur-
pose and the actual accomplishment Of re-
ligious undertakings in the state colleges.

I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

On Thursday evening, November 2, a meet
ing OF Swedish American citizens will be held
at Krug's hall, Twenty sixth and Q streets,
for the purpose Of organizing a Swedish
American Republican league.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
Swedish Americans to attend this meeting
and join in the organization. Good speakers
will be present and the issues Of the day
will be thoroughly discussed. Generally
speaking the Swedish Americans favor a
straight republican ticket and it is thought
that an organization such as Is projected
will do much toward cementing the feeling
already existing. Since the results of the
second day Of registration became known the
republicans in the Magic City are greatly en-
couraged and 1t is predicted now that there
will be very few If any fusion majorities
when the votes are counted. The repub-
licans appear to be gaining in strength every
day, while the fusonists are losing ground
Republican candidates who are making the
rounds say that the utmost confidence in a
republican victory prevails. Workngmen
are satisfied with the present good times
and see no reason for voting Cor a change
of conditions. 1t is thought that a large
proportion Of the laboring class will vote the
republican ticket as an evidence of approval
of the course of the national administration
and also for the purpose of showing their
confidence in the integrity of the party which
has brought prosperity
