BURT AS s1oo,oot MAN.

Omaha. March 21.--Horace @. Burt,
former president Of the Union Pacific.
has been offered the 100000 year
task of directing the construction OF
the Panama canal according to the
statement of the president OF an Oma-
ha bank yesterday. 1'hit bank presl-
dent Is a close friend OF Mr. Burt, and
he said the railroad man had been ap-
preached several times cn the subject
| by persons representing President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Burt Is travelling IL Europe. and
the last letter from him received in
Omaha was dated in Rome, February
| 25. 1t Is believed he Is row In Vienna.
| Whether Mr.. Burt wo aid consent to
devote ten years Of his life to the task,
spending more of his time on the
athmus. is q question which none of
his friends Ia able to answer. Should
he accept the offer ami become the
Napoleon whose services the president
is seeking, 1t would give "a rank ahead
OF Chief Engineer Wallace.
| Railroad men are Of the opinion that
the great work which ldr. Burt per-
formed in reorgnnizing the Union Pa
cific is the cause of his being offered
| the charge OF the canal construction.
He was selected by the railroads
| board of directors December 27, 1897.
The stock was quoted at 26M. To pu.
the property on its feet was hercu-
lean task, for 1t has just emerged from
a receivership which had lasted four
years and had deteriOrated greatly.
Mr.. Burt went In for reform from the
bottom up, and It Is related that even
| the gatemen at the shops came In for
a shaking UP. Three years later the
stock OF the Union Pae flc sold for 91.
l None Of His Viger Lost.

is stu within DR.. Osl.r's limitation,
and altho he chose to lay down the
rens in the Union Pacific offices more
| than a year ago he is said to have lost
! none of his vigor or, power of organl-
zaton. Men of Omaha who know Mr..
Burt well and have kept track of af-
| fairs at Panama believe the same gen.
| ius which restored the Union Pacific
would accomplish wonders on the
canal.
MIR. Burt began his railroad career
at the bottom. He was a rodman on
the vandalia line in 1876. and from
this he rose thru the operating depart
ments and serving for years with the

LIABLE TO CHEROKEE NATION.
peision Of Court Of Claims Holds That
Sum Of $1,111,2s4, With Interest, 10
Due Red Men.


Due Red Men.
Washington, March 2l.-The cases
Of the Cherokee nation of Indians and
of Individual Cherokees against the
United States were decided by the court
of claims yesterday. They involve
large amount of money and are OF an
annual and extraordinary character.
The United States bought the Cher
okee outlet, agreeing to pay for 1t, $S,-
100000, being about 81 per acre and
also agreeing to reopen a long standing
between themselves and the
Cherokees. In 1886 treaty was made
under which the Cherokees were to
move or be removed from Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee to the Indian
territory. The Cherokees contended
before they were removed that under
the provisions of the treaty they were
not to be made to pay the cost OF re-
moving from homes which they did not
wish to leave to a country to which
they did not wish to go. The govern
ment. however, held to the contrary.
When the Cherokee outlet was sold
the Indians stipulated that all their ac-
counts should be reopencd and the mat
ter euuitably settled, and for that pur-
pose the United States should make
out an account and transmit 1T to the
Cherokee nation. If the Cherokee ma
ton adopted it, congress should imme-
diately appropriate for whatever bal
ance might be found due. The account
was adopted, but congress did not ap-
propriate the money. In the present
suit the court of claims decides that
the account transmitted by the secre-
tary of the interior, followed by this
inaction of congress, renders the Uni
ted States liable for the balance OF ST.
t11,2s4 with interest from June II.
1898, which amounts to approximately
$4,000, 900.

Walker, March 81. The beautiful
farm home of II. c. Furbust, two and

was almost completely wrecked Satur-

private gas plant in the basement Of
the building. The family of twelve
miraculously escaped without serious
injury.
Mr.. Furbush had occupied the place
but a few weeks, coming from Illinois,
The gas plant had not been used for
some time and James Furbush, the
eighteen -year-old son, was just
charging at the time of the accident.
He had placed a quantity Of carbide
in the machine and was putting the
top on the can when the explosion oc-

came in contact with water premature

escaped and was ignited by lighted

stairs.
James Furbush was blown out
thru the basement door but was un-
injured and rushed back in time to
rescue his little l1-year- old sister, who
had been in the basement with him,
