We are in serious trouble up at
our house. There were no more
carpets to tear up and beat, or
windows to clean, SO our "better
half" concluded to wash the bed
quilts yesterday. Well, you know
what kind of a day it vas, of course
they did not get dry, SO when we
went to bed last night there was
nothing on the bed but the mat
tress and Stats. We couldn't sleep
on the mattress and cover ourself
with the Stats, so We had to sleep
on the Stats and put the:mattress
over us. The prospect looks rath-
er bad for tonight, as this evident
ly is not drying day. We are a
good, reasonable, average man,
and want TO do right, but we don't

tation to Ego out and sleep" IN q

Fight for Control Of Union
Pacific.
papers.

racine.
Why the Illinois Central should have
builded an expensive line into Omaha
has been much discussed among rail-
road men. Some recent developments
have been considered to offer an ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is said the Could and
Vanderbilt interests are fighting for
control of the Union Pacific; that the
Illinois Central is allied with the
Goulds, and that these may secure
control. In that case, the Illinois
Central will stand to secure traffic
such as the Chicago and North. western
now erjoys.
The policy Of the Union Pacific is
now dictated by q board of control, Of
which j. T. Hsrahsn is chairman.
This represents the financial interests
in the road. President Burt, repre-
senting the Northwestern-V Vanderbilt
faction, is said to be small factor
compared to Mr.. Harshan. Mr.. Hsrs.
han is first vice president of the Illinois
Central, in which road he represents
large financial interests, just as he does
in the Union Pacific. 1t is said that
while he represents only 40 per cent Of
the stock of the company, he is still
holding his own. His relation to the
Illinois Central has advantaged that
road in traffic, and it has secured an
amount of western business which has
been q great surprise at Omaha and In
railroad circles generally. The fac
tions are now cortesting to determine
whether this condition will continue,
or whether the Vanderbilt interests
shall restore their former control of
the Union Pacific. Whatever the re-
suit, important developments are ex-
pected. If the Northwestern loser, It
is predicted the Northwestern will 20
westward with the Elkhorn line; il it
wins, the Illinois Central is expected
to go west.
A CHICAGO VIEW.
The Chicago Record, discussing the
situation, says:
That something radical ami decisive
soon will result from the long-drawn-
out struggle between the so-called
Gould and Vanderbilt interests to Sc
cure sure and lasting control Of the
Union Pacife property, railroad Of.
ticisls and financiers are reasonably
certain. White the Vanderbilts al
present direct the affairs of the Union
Pacific, the Goulds are pushing them
so vigorously and unrelentingly that
the security of their control is not re-
garded as the essence Of all that ID
strong and unwsvering. The fight fol
the control of the western system il
looked upon IS the greatest struggle
the railway arena ever has been the
scene of, and the outcome Of It. is t.
have great effect upon one of two
Chicago railroads, the Northwestern OF
the Illinois Central.
If the Vanderbilts maintain theil
present cQntrol the Union Pacific
Northwestern allisnce will continue
in effect, but If the Goulds come on,
on top the Northwestern will lose III
present CONNECTIONS west Of Omaha
and the Illinois Central will tie W
with the Union Pacific In traffic re
lationship. The directors Of the II
linois Central are said to be consider
ing the sdvissbility of extending theil
line westward from Omaha to tn,

bits come out of the present fight q
