GENTS' SOCKS. RAILROADERS RETALIATING Threats Made Last Winter Being Very Rapidly Executed. TRAIN SERVICE REDUCED ON ALL LINES Officers Clnlm the Itctrruclimcnt It Miulo Necossnry by tlio Itoductlons of the Maximum Jluto I.uw In Nobrankn. LIKCOI.N , Juno 17. [ Special to Tun BEE. ] The railroad companies have begun the fight of retaliation they threatened last win ter , when the maximum rate bill was up for consideration. Last week President Per kins of the Burlington paid a visit of inspec tion to nil lines in Nebraska , and immedi ately upon his return ordered , n now time card which materially affects service on the northwest linos. By this now canj several l > assenger trains on branch lines will bo dis continued. From Edgar to Iloldrego there will hereafter bo only a freight train each way dally except Sunday. No passenger trains will bo run at all hereafter on the branches north of Aurora , thus leaving towns like St. Paul , Central City , Greeloy Center. Burwoll. Arcadia and others with out any passenger service. A freight will leave Aurora each morning and connect at various junctions with other freights , finish ing its run at Arcadia and fonsumlngtho ontlro day in doing it. It is also believed that in the noar'futuro the passenger trains will be taken off the branch from Ashland to Sehuyler , and perhaps ono from the Lincoln- Wymoro run. The discontinuance ) of thcso trains is in pursuance of an agreement made with the Union Paclllc , which also hns a number of branch lines in the Aurora district. All passenger trains on that road will also bo discontinued in that region , and the service on all of the Republican Valley Hues reaching - ing to Columbus , Stromsburg and Beatrice will bo cut clown. The reason given for this uhango is that it is necessary to reduce ex penses. Those actions of the railroads * will * doubtless cause a wave of indignation from traveling men , resident of the portions of the state affected , us well as the general public Military Affiilrs. At Its meeting yesterday the State Mill- tiry board decided that hereafter the slate will not way for horses and forage for monthly drills of the state ii.illtla. The ad. jutant general was authorized to pay to cacti company $100 per annum for armory rent , provided that Company O. First infantry , ho paid the additional sum of $ < ) j.50 ami Com pany B. First infantry , the additional sum of t' O IU. It was resolved that as the appro priation "for the support of the Nebraska National guard is insuRlclenl for two ibrlgado encampments , a brigade encampment beheld held in IbOl , and that in 18')3 ) the Nebraska National guard bo ordered into camps of instruction by bat taltons at the times and places of holding the state and district encamp ments of tha Grand Army u ( the Hupubliupro- vlded that them bo no expense to the state of Nebraska except the per diem of men and officers. It was decided that the property of the stuto and of the United States In pos session of the Nebraska National guards bo used for no purpose other than military pur poses. A committee consisting of Colonel J. P. Bran and Major A. A. Hoed was ap pointed to revise the rules and regulations of the Nebraska National guards und to rn- port at the next meeting of the board. The iiieetlug was continued this morning. Com pany K of the First regiment , stationed at Fremont , was ordered mustered out of the military service of the state , pursuant to the unanimous request of the officers and men of that company , The organization oi a proposed company at David City was authorized and it was assigned to the First regiment and given the letter of Company K. TUo board decided to adopt the drab colored hat , worn la iho regular army , as ho uniform headgear , instead of the caps icrctoforo in uso. , Tlioy Must Disgorge. A threatening prospect appears to bo awaiting Sylvester S. St. John and the vlutual Loan and Investment company of vcarnoy. Itwill bo remembered that on lanuary I0 , 1802 , the Commercial and Sav- ugs bank of Kearney , which was organized under the state laws in 1889 , closed its doors .o business witli only ? -O.TO in cash in its vaults. Sylvester S. St. John was the pres ident and John Barnd its cashier , whllo St. John was also secretary of the Mutual Loan and Investment. The bank held a largo amount of stock in the investment company and the day the bank closed this stock was traded by the bank oQlclals to the officials of the Investment company for stock in the bank then known to be worthless. On the Oth of the present month the supreme premo court commission handed down a lengthy opinion , dealing in strong terms with the crooked methods adopted by the bank officials and concluding with au order upon St. John and the Mutual Loan and In vestment company to deliver within thirty days of the date of the order , into the hands of the receiver of the bank , the value of the stock and notes traded to it for a worthless consideration , amounting toy-l,188. Deputy Attorney General Summers visited Kearney a few days since at the request of the parties Interested , who urged -upon him the stringency of the money market and endeav ored , it is said , to lead him to believp that it will bo Impossible to raise the monoy. Un less they do so , however , in compliance with the order of the court , the attorney general will proceed against them , either by civil process to secure their property or by crim inal process for contempt or both.

PRIZES THAT FLITTED AWAY William Friokie , a Farmer , is Approached by Confidence Men. LUCKILY , HE CONFIDED IN A FRIEND One Dollar Ahead of tlio Would-Io Fleecers Three Smooth Swindlers Who Sprung n Lottery Scheme Hulled Their llook with Hllvor. Three very smooth confidence men have jocn laying the foundation for a big haul in South Omaha for the last two weeks , but did not formally open for business until last evening , when they made a ? 3,000 play at William Frlckio , a wealthy German fanner living out near the Sarpy mills. Ten days ago two men who gave tholr names as "Dr. Saundor.s" and "Judge Baker" of Lincoln , hired a rig at Glynn & Holmes stable and drove out into the country. They wcro well dressed and seemed to have plenty of monoy. They said they were looking for form land and wanted to pay ca h for what they bought. Among other places they visited the farm homo of Mr. Frickio. Both were smooth conversationalists and easily made friends at every farm house whore they stopped. They figured with Mr. Frickio on buying Ills placebut the old fellow said lie did not , care to sell. Ho know of a man who did though , und ho was willing to show the land to the gentlemen whenever they wcro ready. It was then agreed that tho'iiou would comeback back u few days later , Ono of them did come , Dr. Saunders , but stated that Judge Baker was called to Lincoln on n very im portant law suit and could not como until Saturday , which was yesterday. Promptly on time Judge Baker and Dr. Saunders drove up to the Frickio homo and being invited in , had quite n pleasant visit. Among other things Baker suld that his sister had * 10,0l > 0 on dupailt in the McCaguo bank and had been worried sonio for fear that she would lose it. The Judgo" was feeling very hopeful now , however , as Mr , McCaguo had told him personally only a. few hours previous that she would got every cent of her monoy. "The Judgo" also promised Mrs. Frickio th'at ho would bring1 his wealthy sister out and innko her a visit , all of which was appreciated and the lady would bo made comfortable. In fact the visit was agreeable all around. Dinting tlio Trnp , The two "con" men and Mr. Frickio then got Into the livery rigand started out to look ut a farm. They had driven about an hour when they mot ' a stranger in the road. This was Just opposite the Hughes farm. The stranger looked pretty "bummy" in the face , accordIng - Ing to Mr. Friukio's description , but were good clothes. Ho was a short , heavy sot man with a red and sore physiognomy. This tourist hulled the men in the buggy and asked If they had met a red wagon on the road. They all got Into a conversation , when the pedestrian finally admitted that ho was the agent for the "Nebraska State Lottery wjinpany. " After a little moro talk the agent persuaded Judge Baker to draw ono of the cards and try his luck. lie said it would cost nothing , When the Judge was reminded of the fact that the company was operating under a law passed by the last Nebraska legislature ho was ut once satisfied of the legality of the concern and ho drew. The Judge was lucky and was paid "ono slmolcon" for his ticket. In the meantime old man Frickio had said but .little , but had overlooked nothing. Baker had drawn aud had been paid $1 without putting up a cent und why should not the old farmer try his lucki Ho did , and ho won a dollar. When the silver was handed out to Frickio It hit the bottom of his pocket before the little fat man hail hardly let loose of it. Everything was work ing nicely now , The rod-nosed agent had greater inducomomcnts thau Fnckle had ever dreamed of to offer. It waa that the two men who bud drawn a dollar each should have one moro trial and if they drew the lucky card this time thuy Were to liava ? 3,000 each. of .Toy. Baker drew first and when the agent told nm that ho had drawn the lucky number ; he farmer nearly fell off of the buggv seat. it was his turn next. Nervously Frickio licked out a caifl and the little agent looked sad when ho said : ' -You , sir , my .friend , have Use drawn itVl.OOIX" This was pretty strong nodleine for the old man , who had been selling corn for 25 cents and hogs for 4o to fit : for the last twenty years , to say nothing of work lie had done on the farm in an early day for f 15 a month. Three thou sand in one lump and all in cash , mused Prickle. Ho was knocked temporarily speechless , and when shorty opcnod up n griu that was so full of money that the sides were bursting , the old fellow raised hia hat and mopped the perspiration from his brow with more satisfaction than ho hud done for many a moon. "Now then , gentlemen , " said the agent , "before I liana you over tills money you will liavo to prove to mo that you are each worth F-'J.OOO and ypu will have to produce the cash to convince mo. As soon as you do this , your money will bo paid over. " Snritllmvcil Hook , Line and Sinker. Frickio looked nt Baker and Baker si/icd up Frickio. Then , tolling the agent to stop isldo until they could talk tlio matter over , Uakor drove on for a few feet. Frickio stated .hat ho U hi not have moro than half that nuch money in the hank and would have to go homo and ( Jet Ills bunk book in order to IIMW itout. Baker said ho could got all of , ho money ho wanted if ho was In South Omaha and that if Friuklo would draw out what ho had ho would loan him the balance until after they collected their lottery money. This was agreeable , and as they drove back three mllus to the Frickio fonii , ho old fellow w.is congratulating himself on liaving met so many coed follows in a uluglu lay. Ho was warned not to say anything to Ills wife or sons about whit ho was going to do "hi order to surprise them when ho got homo with the money. " Thlt Frickio igreod to do , and the trip to the farm and back to South Omaha was made as quickly as possible. The "con" men drove Frlqkio to the corner of Twenty-sixth and M streets , where they were to meet him in thirty minutes. Ho waste to go to the bunk , draw out $2,000 and re turn to the jilai'a In the country where thuy had loft the lottery agent , uniting in the shade of Mr. Hughes willow hedge , arid col lect their prizes.
