Confirmation

In line with the prevailing tendency OF
big railroad systems to retrench and cen
tralize both with respect to the operation
and management OF their properties, an
unconfrmed rumor has crept out that the
Northwestern. which owns and operates the
Fremont, Elthorn & Missouri Valley road.
under a separate corporation, however. Is
about to merge the two corporate bodies
and conduct all the system under one cen
trail organization. This rumor found it's
way into Omaha SOM months ago, but
could not be confirmed here or elsewhere.
Now II is again revived and still conhrma-
tion Is lacking.

notice Of special meeting of the stock

purpose, among other things, Of acting
upon the question OF leasing the railroad
franchises and property Of the Fremont,

railroad franchises and property. beside all
the other property Of the Fremont. Elkhorn
a Missouri Valley Railroad company has
aroused new interest in this report.
General Manager BidveII Talks.
OF this matter General Manager Bldweil
Of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri VAL
led road said yesterday morning:
while | have not been formally ad-
vised by the board Of directors who called
this meeting, l think 1 can safely an
nounce that there is no special significance
in this legal notice. I think I can also
say that the management of the Elkhorn
will continue the same as It has been in
the past, that the two corporations will
not be merged and that the Omaha gem
eral headquarters OF the Elkhorn road will
be kept here and that the Elkhorn system
will continue to be operated from here
Mr.. Bidwell's statement does away with
the rumor, therefore. which sprung up as a
result of the original report Of the merg-
ing Of these two railroad corporations, that
Omaha was about to lose the general
headquarters of this railroad, and will have
a consoling effect upon the business con-
stituency of this city, by whom such in
situations as this are Justly appreciated.

Jobbers of This city Say they Can

st. Joseph II Direct Trans
p~OrtstiOn is Provided.

with the reported intimate trafnc ar
r~angements between the Rock Island and
Union Pacific railroads an attempt will
be made by Omaha jobbers to secure d more
direct route to the Texas and Oklahoma
territory. The Rock Island has a direct
route from Omaha to Lincoln, while the
line OF the Union Pacific is not so direct.
From Lincoln to Manhattan, Kan, the
Union Pacific has almost an air line, while
the line Of the Rock Island to that point
is Indirect.
As soon as the new arrangements were
reported It was suggested to President
Leeds Of the Rock Island that some plan
be adopted between the two companies
whereby the Rock Island could secure the
use Of Union Pacific track from Lincoln to
Manhattan, thus giving a direct route from
Omaha to Rock Island points in the south
west. Such an arrangement would let the
Omaha houses into that territory with
something like the rates Kansas City has.
The Omaha merchants are kept out Of
the business of Kansas, Texas and Okla
homa more by reason of the slow delivery
than by reason of the rates. anyway, al
though they have considerable effect.
Fakes n Month TO ship.
the present time a shipment from
Omaha to points on the Rock Island in
Oklahoma frequently takes thirty days for
delivery, whAe over the same road a SINH
lar shipment from Kansas City is deliv-
cred within a week. There is already some
business done in that territory by Omaha
houses in spite Of the slow delivery, but 1t
is said by the managers of several OF the
largest houses that IL the arrangements be-
tween the Rock Island and the Union Pa
cifc can be made travelling men from this
city will be placed in the three states and
business pushed as rapidly as possible.
ION business west of the center of Kan
sas, Omaha. with this road, could compete
with southern Missouri river points," said
a prominent jobber, but so long as 1t takes
us as long as it does to deliver goods to
the lines running east and west through
the state we can do little but stand aside
and see the business go to Kansas City and
st. Joseph. With this line we will be in
shape to compete on practically an equal
basis in the greater part of Kansas, Texas
and Oklahoma"

BATTLE WITH A BOVINE.

Mr.. r. +. Hips and Mr.. Trenholm
Baker, two of Marietta's beef dealers,
went out to Mr.. Pairs house, near
Olive Springs, one day last week and
jointly bought ''pair" of bovines, one
large yearling and COW. Each cow
was tied around the horns with a rope
and turned over to two negro boys to
drive back to town, while Mr.. Baker
and Mr.. Hips drove on behind. One
of the boys had on red shirt and was
prodding the animal and the yearling
became angered and made lunge for
him, caught him up on its horns and
started down an embankment with him
to ram her head with it's bundle against
the opposite bank, which meant death
to the negro boy. Mr.. Baker grabbed
the rope which brought the COW to
sudden stoppage, and the boy was mad
ly tossed in the air and fell with dull
thud" as if he was ''done for" This
| sudden interference with the cows
sport with Africa, turned her attention
to the manly form of Mr.. Baker. He
hurled rock and struck the COW
in the middle of the head, but it
was no more than throwing a pebble
against locomotive. The COW started
full tilt towards Mr.. Baker, ard he
hollered to Mr.. tlipps, Goodbye
! am gone ~ and Mr.. Hips, exclsimed,
Don't CO." but Mr.. Baker had already
gone, He was splitting the wind at
"two-forty gait" The COW by this
time spied Mr.. Hips ard she conclud-
ed she would engage his company for
the next dance and started towards him
with an affectionate look and speed
that "cowed" Mr.. Hips, and he too,
hollered to Mr.. Baker, "If you get there
before do, tell them am coming too"
and:the way he went to overtake the
fleeing form of Mr.. Baker. The COWS
were lett in complete possession of the
field. The little negro was not hurt
and got back to town on time. The
COWS are still at Mr.. Pairs in a big
field paired off" and Mr.. Hipps and
Mr.. Baker don't know how to approach
them to get hold of the ends of the
ropes that still dangle to their horns.
