ing the latter company to grant the Chicago
Great Western the use and privileges Of the

trackage facilities, was begun yesterday

tract relations between the Union Pacific,
on the one side. and the Chicago, Rock
Island g. Pacific, Chicago Milwaukee & st.
Paul and the other railroads using the
privileges asked for by the Chicago Great

bridge and tracks between Omaha and
South Omaha.
The counsel for the Chicago Great Western
were Frank B. Kellogg, James M. Wool

HOME INDUSTRY PROTECTION
Result of wSOming's New Law Pro-
hibitinE Expectation OF Un-
mounted AntIers.

The last wyoming legislature passed a
law prohibiting the expectation Of any elk
antlers unless they are mOunted This
act has been called to the attention of
Omaha railroad men who sent to their
representatives In Wyoming for q few "un-
mounted" antlers as specimens. They did
not receive them, but instead were advised
Of the enactment OF the new statute.
The purpose of the law is a mystery to
these whose plans have been disrupted by
II. but there is a grave suspicion hat 1t
will-whether designed with that end in
view or not-work to the advantage of
Wyoming taxidermists. In a letter sent in
reply to a demand from an Omaha railroad
man for a few unmounted antlers appears
this casual statement!
You can get the antlers mounted by q
good taxidermist here for about SIS.
He had already explained that on re-
ceiving the letter he found upon lnyesti-
CATION that the legislature had passed this
law imposing a penalty for shipping out Of

MANSFIELD FAYORs OMAHA
Great Actor Likes n Town and Gives
n CONFEDERATION on His
n' Tour.

What Is omaha's standing as a theatrical
city? That was the question under dis
cusslon yesterday at lunch. There were
present a banker, an editor. a broker and
a theatrical manager. The last was Paul
Wilstach, business manager for Richard
Mansfield. and the question was put to
him.
lone can only answer that from intimate
experiences said Mr.. wilstach, and based
on Mr.. Mansheld's warm welcomes in
Omaha, your city's standing Is hrst-class.
II is with us. Heretofore. for a number
Of years, II has been down for one night
on Mr.. Mansheld's route. Always the
tickets on sale have been thousands too
few for the demand. So this season omaha
is down two nights OF Julius Caesar This
was done out Of confidence in the city, for
you know the science Of successful man
agement is to give as few performances to
as nan people as possible.
Have you any idea OF the comparative
standing OF Omaha on Mr.. Mansheld's tour7''
"well, comparatively this city is getting
more nights Of Julias Caesar than any
other city in America. There are Provi-
dence and Montreal the former with 176, 900
and the latter with PSF, 900, yet Omaha,
with 1903, 900, has ne many nights of Mans
field as either. This is based on the CEN
sus Of 1900. as are the following" he con-
tlnued, consulting a note book: Louis
willie has 204 900, Indianapolis 1863, 900, Roch-
ester 162, 900, Toledo 1871 900, Columbus 1885,
900. Worcester 49, 900 and New Haven 10s,-
600; yet these, with more population than
Omaha, have only half as many appear
ances OF Mr.. Mansfield. In other words,
they are one-night stands on his route.
From this you can gather omaha's stand
ing as a center Of culture and appreciation,
at least with Mr. Mansfield"
Mr.. wilstach has been an annual visitor
to Omaha during his six years association
will Mr., Mansfield and declares that the
city during the last two years has shown
remarkable vitality and growth. He is tho
author OF several plays which have been
seen here. the last of which was "a Capital
Comedy" given BY Tim Murphy, and he Is
the brother of Frank ]. Wilstach, manager
of Viola Allen, and, OF Claxton Wilstach,
manager Of petite. Adelaide Thurston. He
has Just completed a new comedy which
he has named Polly. Primrose" Adelaide
Thurston will play Polly Primrose next
season.
