DIXON is BEST BOOSTER YET
Former OmahRn, Now Living In
Davenport, Says Gate City
Keats Them All.

"omaha, the city Of greatest improve
ments," IS the characterization given the
city by e. w. Dixon, a visiting coal dealer
Of Davenport, la. Until 1893, Mr.. Dixon
was a resident OF Omaha, and since that
time has Travelled extensively in this coun-
try and Canada, both on business and for
pleasure.
"Of all the large cities I have visited
since disseminating my residence here,
Omaha impresses me as having made the
most Improvement in general appearance,
building and business. Advances are no.
ticeable in almost everything, from boule-
wards to breweries.
In spite OF the city's rather oppressive
summer heat. many hills and the vast
area covered, I would rather live here
than in any other city"
His business in the Mississippi river city
Is about all that keeps him from return
Ing to Omaha to live, he declares. Al
present he. is visiting relatives here while
on the way home from an extended sojourn
on the Pacific coast.

Dies of Wounds
P. D. Ailor, Who Was Shot Saturday
Night, Mistaken for Race Fol-
lower with Big Roll.

AUBURN, Neb., July u.-tSpecial Tele-
gram.)-P. D Ailor, the real estate man
who was shot five times by I'VE holdup
men late Saturday night, died OF his
wounds at 7 o'clock this morning. II is
now believed that Ailor was mistaken by
the bandits for O racetrack follower named
Brown, whom he greatly resembled in per-
sonal appearance Brown is said to have
won 81 200 on the races Saturday, and It
Is thought that the robbers were looking
for him. There have been no arrests and
the officers are without a clue as to their
Identity.
1t appears that Mr.. Aior was ON his
way to the north part OF town to see a
party on a matter of business. The trees
were quite heavy along the walk, and
while passing through a dark place in front
Of c. A. Jones' residence, two men ordered
Nj. Ailor to put up his hands, He refused
and one Of the robbers then fired a shot
in the air. Mr.. Ailor then struck at the
robber who had fired the shot, and the
other shot him four times, three of the
shots taking effect in the abdomen and
the fourth in the lungs, above the heart
any one Of which would have proved fatal
All nearby towns were notified at once
as well as all country lines. The only de.
scription the officers have TO work on IL
that they had the appearance, TO Mr.. Ailoi
in the dark, of being young men OF medium
build, one a trifle taller than the other
and as 1t was very dark. and it was there
fore very hard for Mr.. Ailor to distinguish
them clearly. After the shooting occurred
the robbers became frightened and file,
without searching their victim. Mr.. Ailo

Mr.. Payne declined to discuss at this

"It IL unfair to compare the two bills
by figuring tine average advalorem rates

malned for a Central City man to press
one into service to do the family washing.
Carl Grieve has succeeded in doing SO and
the scheme works to perfection. The tires
OF his runabout are of hard rubber and

passed around one of the rear tires and
connected with the mechanism of the wash

is to start the auto engine and watch

a short circuit and caused the ringing.

END OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Union Pacific Preparing TO Take Over
Full Control.
HARTMAN PLAN NEARLY MATURE
viii ne Like Purehase OF Burlington
By Great Northern and North
ern Pacific if Carried
Ont.

NEW YORK. July u.-Persistent reports
continue to be heard in Wall street that
plans are under way for the carrying out
Of a comprehensive deal involving the
absolute transfer Of control Of the Illinois
Central Railroad company to the Union
Pacific Railroad company. In official
quarters knowledge Of any such propo-
sition is disolaimed. hut the idea finds
many believers in we'll informed quarters.
Even those who assert positively that
some such deal viii be put through de-
Glare hat It viii not be contaminated for
several months.
Their idea is that upon r. II. Harri-
mans return from Europe he will take up
the matter and carry It to a conclusion
before the end OF the year.
Rumors that tho Union Pacific would
lease the Illinois Central on a 10 per cent
guaranteed basis are generally dfscredited
In authoritative quarters. Unofficial in
formation concerning the plans under way,
likewise. does not agree with the 10 per
cent guaranteed dividend theory.
Those protesting to have knowledge Of
the matter assert that details OF the plan
not been worked out, but that II It Is
eventually executed II will probably pro-
vide for the exchange of collateral trust
bonds for stock OF the Illinois Central, the
latter being taken over at a valuation OF
say 200 per cent In bonds, which would
become a liability Of the Union Pacific
and be secured by the Illinois Central stock
as collateral. ..1

Imitate HIM NIethodn.

Initiate HiII's Methods.
Such a proposition would be very similar
to the deal by which the Burlington was
taken over by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Jointly.
The belief Is entertained in some quar-
ters that the reported plan for acquiring
the Illinois Central Is but part OF a very
comprehensive scheme in contemplation
which may eventually involve several other
roads.
When the contest for control of the
Illinois Central was on II was disclosed
that e. II. Hartman and his associates
actually owned 20 per cent OF the out
standing stock, and they succeeded in get
ting proxies for sufficient additional to
swing control of the property.
The fact that the Illinois Central is al.
ready controlled by the Hartman party has
led to a good deal of doubt as to the truth
Of the current reports concerning a pro-
posed relinquishmeM Of that control. II
is said, however, that Mr.. Hartman wishes
TO so arrRnge the Illinois Central situa-
tlOn that control Of the road could not In
the future, in any way, be obtained by
other interests. Under the present arrange.
ment, it Is conceivable tina such might be
accomplished.
1t is said that his desire Ia to place, II
possible, all the stock of the Illinois Cen.
trail in the Union Paoific's treasury. BY
offering collateral trust bonds in exchange
for Illinois Central shares, II is pointed out
such a deal would not involve the raising
Of any additional money by the Union
Pacific. The earnings of the Illinois Cen
trail, 1t IS believed, are such that they could
easily take care of the interest Of such
collateral trust bonds as might be issued.
