Frank r. Noble returned home, Sat
urday afternoon, from a few days
shooting trip at Merrymeeting bay,
bringing with him a fine string of wa
ter fowl. In the lot were blue bills,
whistlers, muddy ducks and a pair of
mallards. The latter birds are very
rare. and are one of the handsomest of
our wild ducks. The mallard is the
bird from which the domestic duck in
all its varieties has descended.

The open season on deer in York coun-
ty has ended. 1t is estimated that 50 deer
were shot within the county borders in
the 80 days that the law was off. Some
of them were slaughtered within the lin
its of the cities and villages, and in sew
eral instances the deer were 50 tame that
their killing was devoid of all senblance
of craftsmanship. There is strong feel
ing against the open season here and it is
probable that at the next session of the
Legislature a petition will be presented,
requesting a repeal Of the act making
this kind of game the prey of hunters in
York county.

USE WABASH TERMINALS.
Rock Island Making Preparations for
Worlds Fair Traffic.

It is announced that the Rock Island
will resume work today on track con-
struction on the west side of the Usage
river for the Kansas City extension.
The line from ST. Louis to Kansas City
will be completed about May 1 of next
year, and according to the present
plans of the company it will be placed
in operation a once.
At the outset there will be no at
tempt made to run fast through trains,
but the lines are being constructed on
a very solid basis, with a view to sharp
competition for through traffic in the
future. The passenger trains of the
Rock Island will run into the Union
station at St. Louis. using the Wabash
tracks from Forsythe Junction via For
est park During the worlds fair it
viii use the Wabash terminals for its
passenger business. Connection with
the Rock Islands freight yards and
north-end terminals will be made by
way of the terminal belt lines. 1t Is
announced bv officials of the road that
connection with the lines of the Frisco
system will be made early next year.
This will practically be a double track
and many improvements are promised
in the service

MORE COMPLICATED.
New York Political Tangle Grows
Worse Daily.

New York. Sept 3O.-Developments
tend to complicate rather than clear
the local political situation. The posi-
ton of District Attorney Jerome whose
Whlrlw1nd campaign was the feature of
the canvass on the fusioniSt side two
years ago. and who has heralded his
I dissatisfaction with Mayor Lows ad-
mlnlstration course though he avowed
his purpose of supporting the fusion
cause this year, made declaration
last night at a beefsteak dinner given
by Congressman Timothy J. Campbell
which those who heard it construed as
significant that under certain condi-
tions he might give his adherence to
the Tammany Hall ticket
If. Mr. Jerome is quoted as saving,
a guaranty be given before the Tam
many Han convention on Thursday
next of the sincerity of the movement
and that those men are sincere and
honest. l am going to stand by it, and
II their men are handled as they should
be and If men are put in nomination
whom honest men can support and
people will say. We have an honest
movement I Will encourage it.
L have stood for certain things all
my life. and will continue to stand for
these things for the balance of it no
matter where the rest of the gang
goes. 1 Will not stand for a ticket
three quarters of which belongs to an
other party
The condition to which Mr. Jerome
-. - - as sch1cAiSS 4uOlSu dDONS
was the subject of conference at the
residence of Mayor Low, leaders of the
fuslonist forces being present This
conference was in the nature of a Sc
cret consultation. but it is understood it
was decided to demand of Messrs. Grout
and Fornes, nominees respectively for
controller and president of the board
of aldermen. definite statement of
their attitude toward the fusionist
movement, and to require of them an
uneQuiVOcal pledge of suppOrt of the
head of the ticket If the attitude of
Messrs. Grout and Fornes should not
be satisfactorily explained it will, as re-
ported. be the sense of the conference
that their names should be stricken
from the ticket
A conference to take final action on
the question is to be held Wednesday at
the office of Edward Lauterbach.

several occasions appearing as wit

eral appraisers, where as in the recent
discovery of diamond under valuations
they were especially active The only
result of their Investigations so far
made public has been the recent dis

LINE 10 OMAHA.
Nebraska Wants Connection With
Kansas Rock Island Road

Omaha. Sept. 30.-The Omaha Com
mercial club is going to bring every
available influence to bear upon the
officials of the Rock Island to induce it
to connect the Nebraska and the Kan
sas lines of that railway. Secretary
UT today sent out circular letters to all
the wholesale and retail merchants and
the grain dealers and cattlemen in the
territory which the club believes would
be benefited by the building of the
cutoff, urging them to write the rail-
way officials about the matter immed-
lately and a committee representing
the club probably will take the matter
up personally with the officials.
The Commercial club believes there
are three lines on which the cutoff
could be built, namely: From Jansen,
Neb., to Harrington. Kan; from Louis
vile. Neb., to Herington. or from
Louisville to Mcfarland, Kan. The line
from Louisville to Mcfarland is the
one preferred by the Commercial club,
and the one for which it will make its
fight 1t is pointed out that it would
give Omaha a direct line through the
great cattle country of the southwest
as far as Texas. Under the existing
conditions Texas cattle now get mere
too late in the day for the market, ana
in consequence Omaha men have 10
buy their Texas cattle in Kansas CITY.

FULL OF GRAF TIERS.
Mayor Harrison's View of Chi
cagO City Hall.

Chicago. Sept. Soft 1 could fire all
the men I suspect of grating they
would be jumping out of every window
in the CITY hall.
This hall is full of graft men,. big
and little-you know it, and can't
prove it.
I've gots1s months left, and I'll get
some of them YETI
With these frank declarations Mayor
Harrison has expressed himself on the
subject of municipal service. He as
serted that his hands were tied; that
convincing proof could not be secured
to establish guilt, but that in the re-
naming months of his administration
some means would be found to clean
out number of departments.
Suspicious were not proofs, the mayor
said. and proofs were necessary to dis
charge man under the civil service
laws. He declared it to be an impossi-
bility to get sufficient. evidence in many
known cases.
The police department. he said, was
full of suspected cases of corruption.
Wholesale removals would be the re-
suit If the power to discharge without
question were in his hands.

MELLEN ADMITS THE TRUTH
Says His Resignation from Northern
Pacific Was Inevitable.

st. Paul. Mimi, Sept 3O.-President
Charles S. Mellen of the Northern Pa
cific confirmed the statement that his
resignation had been presented to the
directors of the system. He will be
elected president of the n. Y, N H &
H. road at a meeting of the directors
October l.
Il have resigned said Mr.. MelIen. Il
1t was inevitable, although 1 shall
greatly regret the necessity of leaving
St Paul. where | have found many
warm friends. do not think l care to
make any further statement concerning
my action than to say that it is settled
that 1 shall co.
The Dispatch today says: 1t has just
transpired that on Thursday last, Chas.
S. Mellen, president of the Northern Pa
ciflc rendered to the directors of that
road his resignation as president and it
was accepted. 1t is now announced that
on October q, he will be the unanimous
choice of the directors of the New York
& New Haven for the presidency of that
company and on October 81 he will as
sumo the duties of his new position.
Regarding who will be the next presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific. the rail-
road world is at sea. F. D. Underwood,
of the Erie, and W. H. Truesdale, of
the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
have been most generally connected by
gossip with the Office. but both have
emphatically entered denials. General
Counsel c. w Dunn as being high in
the confidence of Mr.. Hill, has always
been regarded as his possible choice,
but there is today a feeling that the
coming president of the Northern Pa
cific has not yet been mentioned in
public, though possibly selected by the
ruling heads. Mr.. Hill is expected to
arrive in New York shortly and his
presence may be in connection with
these events
