TO BUILD A $4,000 HOTEL
Two Capitalists I'm Oman" Pi"n the
Ferris House for
Rawlips.

A. w Casservan Of Rawlins, Wyo., and
w. Henry of Denver are in Omaha making
ARRANGEMENTS for the construction of a
$40 900 hotel in Rawlins. The new structure
Is 10 be of stone. 100x125 feet in size, and
will be named the Ferris hotel, in honor
OF the late owner of the valuable copper
mines located at Grand Encampment.
I'VE propose to build one of the finest
hotels in the west" said Mr.. Casservan.
| "The development Of mines near Rawlins
has given the town great impetus and 1t
promises to have quite growth In the
next few years. The Union Pacific is pre-
| pairing to pump water into the town from
the Platte river and the changes which
that railroad has made in its tracks Will
| probably make Rawlns one of the com
| pany's division points and bring many
more railroad people to the town.
"Ore in the Grand Encampment country
| is so valuable that it can be hauled by
wagon to the Union Pacifc's main line
with great profit The contemplated rail
! road into the Grand Encampment district
will develop one of the richest camps ir
the United States and Rawlns is so sit
uated that 1t will get the trade from that
country"
Mr.. Casservan has large sheep interests
in southern Wyoming and in speaking o
the sheep business he said: ''The sheep
men were never in better condition thar
at present The winter has been mild an
there has been just enough snow to keel
the range in good shape. 1t has been neces
sary to feed the sheep but little and tn
losses have been small"

ROOT URGES HIS OBJECTIONS
Rcitcratcs Reasons for Disnpproying
Proposed Organization of Corps
of Veterinarians.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Secretary Root
has transmitted to the chairman of the SEN
ate military committee a protest signed by
Claude V. Morris, secretary of the New
York State Veterinary Medical society,
against the proposed amendment to the
army bill providing for a corps of veterin-
arians. In doing so he sent the following
explanatory letter:
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
Jan. 3.-Slr: | send YOU herewith a copy
of a letter Just received by me from the
secretary of the New York Veterinary
Medical society, commending the position
taken by this department in regard to the
proposal to create Il veterinary corps in the
army.
Let me also recall to your attention the
paper which left with your committee some
time ago, signed by n number Of the chief
veterinarians now in the service taking
substantially the same position. Let me re-
state the position in order that there may
be no misunderstanding:
This department is not opposed TO suit
able recognition of veterinarians. 1t has no
serious objection to giving them military
rank, although / do not think it is wise
course to give military rank to civilian EN-
ployes. What | do object to is a creation Of
new corps with a colonel at the head re-
porting directly to the secretary of war. and
thus necessarily creating new bureau In
the War department and body of officers
who, communicating directly with the sec
retary of war through their chief, are nee
| essarily Independent of the commanding off,
| GERS Of the cavalry regiments and the horse
| artillery organizations. One OF the recog-
| nized defects Of our present army organiaa =
| tion is that of suitable command and divis-
| ion of duties and responsibilities between
! the officers commanding troops and terri
| torial departments on the one hand and
| stan officers responsible to head In Wash
! ingon on the other. The result Is that IL
! Is impossible to fix responsibility for any
| failure to remedy defects or abuses. The
| proposed organization of veterinary corrs
! Is but another step in the wrong direction
and will increase the evils which ought &c
| be remedied. The general officer in com
mand of troops ought to be able to hold the
officers of the cavalry and artillery regl'
ments responsible for having their organi
cations ready for active and efficient duty
at all times. II the horses Of these or
ganizations are under the charge of veter
mary corps, with the chief reporting to th,
secretary of war, there can be no such re
sponsibility. Give the veterinarians rank 1
you want to, but | most earnestly urge
that you do not impose upon us another
bureau of the War department, another in
dependent corps, another element of disin
tegration, divided responsibility and conse
quent ineficiency. Very respectfully.

PATIENT ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE
when Overtakcn In street Car She
Assaults Her Cnptor with
Hand sPtchci.

An excited woman smashing another wo-
man over the head with a hand satchel
disturbed the serenity OF the passengers
on a Park line car Saturday night. The
assault which was apparently unprovoked,
occurred Immediately after the two women
entered the car at Leavenworth and
Twenty-sixth streets, and as the assaiant
and her victim were hurriedly elected from
the car without explanations from any side
the passengers were left to conjecture the
cause OF the disturbance.
Investigation discloses the fact that the
street car incident was lively climax to
an attempted escape from the Presbyterian
hospital, Twenty-sixth and Marcy streets.
The woman who fractured the peace and
dignity of street railway travel had UNDER
taken to get away from the hospital with
out securing the necessary passports and
the embarrassed victim of the assault was
the nurse, who had overtaken her.
No one in authority at the hospital would
give out any information concerning the
affair yesterday but It was learned that
the patient who attempted to escape is a
well-known woman Of Lyons. Neb., who
has been under treatment for nervous
troubles at the hospital for several weeks.
Last Friday friends of the patient called
at the hospital and arranged to have her
sent home, but she refused to leave at that
time.
Saturday morning. however, the woman
left tho building secretly and went to the
Burlington depot, where she purchased a
ticket for Lyons. As she was about to
board the train she was intercepted by
the head nurse ard induced to return to
the hospital But the patient had not
given up the task of getting away from
confinement, and when left unguarded for
moment Saturday night, she again slipped
away This time she was hotly pursued
by nurse. who overlook her as she en-
tered a Park line car and brought her back
to the hospital after the exciting incident
in which the hand satchel figured

A bill sufficiently diversified to strike a
responsive chord with the vaudeville dew
otee, whatever be his hobby in this line of
entertainment, is the offering at the Or
pheum for the current week, and 1t was ac-
corded a rousing reception in its initial
performance Sunday afternoon and evening.
There are no star head-liners, but instead
seven numbers of uniform merit each one
capable OF producing entire satisfaction.
The first part consists OF a very clever per-
formance on the silver wire by Nettie Car
roll and an amusing dialect dialogue and
musical sketch by Tenley and simopds.
Mallory brothers and Brooks are refined
colored musical artists who perform capably
on number of different instruments and
indicate versatility that must needs be
commended
Four interesting sketches compose the sec
ond half of the program and they are all
so different as to be altogether enjoyable.

edy acrobatic act, entitled "a Gymnasts S

Charles Lothian, who gained popularity
of no mean proportions when he was in
Omaha a member of the Woodward Stock
company, appeared in very clever little
sketch entitled "a Sunday with Aunt Mar

pont, charming young actress, who has a
decidedly pleasing stage presence and a
winsome smile that won great favor with
her audience. The popular kinodrome closed
the performance, showing several new views
