Itotrcnchmcnt Policy.
The constant clamor for reduced rates
from Missouri rlvor points to Chicago during
the continuance of the World's fair has , nt
) j I , resulted In an agreement between lines
in iho Western Passenger association to
cater to the public demand by making a one-
fare/ rate to Chicago on nnd nftcr July 17.
Thcso tlckct-i will have a limit of seven and
cloven days optional with the purchaser.
The eastern lines have been favorable to
some such scheme for months past , but lines
in thti Western Passenger association have
opposed the reduction on the 'ground that
they didn't have facilities for taking care of
the travel nnd consequently were opposed lethe
the one-faro Idea. Hut the pressure Anally
became too great , nnd at ttio meeting Fri
day it wan deddcel to run special excursions ,
using only coaches to accommodate the
'crowds that will undoubtedly take ad-
vantugo of the low rates.
The rates as proposed meet the general
approbation of railroad men hereabouts , the
majority having contended that moro busi
ness would bo done with lower rates than
under the present charges us fixed by the
Western Passenger association. Messrs.
Francis of the uurllngton , l omnx of the
Union Pacific and Munn of thu Klkhorn nr-
rive from the meeting today when the
tnnttsr of these now rates will be dcllnltely
announced.

It Is said that while the present year will
go Into history as a year of comparatively
llttlo railway building , It Is destined , on the
other hand , to show n .notable Increase In
the number of railway companies that have
met llnanclal disaster , it is an unfortunate
fact , tlmt the years of light construction are
years of heavy Insolvencies ; the years of
prosperity having their sequences in periods
Of adversity. Foreclosure sales do not char
acterize hard times especially , because they
nro the result of bankruptcies -which have
occurred years before , so slowly do the mills
of the courts often grind ; but when appoint
ments of railway receivers are numerous
then railway business is depressed.
The record of foreclosure sales in the
United States during the first six months of
the year Is comparatively small In respect to
the capital involved , although the number of
roads sold is considerable. From January 1
to Juno ! ) the sales numbered seventeen ,
representing an apgregat9 of 1HM miles and
of less than 17,000,000 of funded debt and
capital stock. None of these roads was of
much magnitude , the largest having only
about Iffi miles completed , although moro Is
contemplated. Most of the seventeen com-
panics are located In southern states , though
it Is noteworthy that four hall from New
York.
The record of receiverships is much moro
significant ot trouble. During the six
t months twenty-seven railway companies ,
A with 5,2II ! miles of operated lines and an ag
gregate debt and capital of $170,8:11.000 : , have
been forced to confess Inability to inert their
obligations and have been taken possession
of by the courts. In respect to amount of In
vestment the half year shows a larger total
than any entire year since lb 5 from two to
nearly live times ns much as any of those
years except 1M11 ! , while In number of roads
nnd mileage the six months also exceed each
of these years except the last.
rl I'urillc ISrtrenehmrnt.
General Manager Doddridgo of the Mis.
souri Pacific , issued an order Friday from
his headquarters In Kansas City , which la
far-reaching In all departments of the sys
tem. A policy of retrenchment Is to bo pur
sued at once , and operating expenses are to
bo cut down to the lowest point consistent
with efficient service. The traveling airents
of the trafllc department located ut the lead
ing cities in the cast , west and south will be
dispensed with for the present.
The clerical force In all departments Is to
bo reduced , and economy will be the watch
word everywhere. The same course will
apply to all departments of operation nlong
the line and at the terminal points. One
hundred men at tlio Ewmg avenue shop ;
have been dropped , and the force will not
bo fully employed during the warm se : a m ,
The object Is , of course , to reduce operatinf :
expenses to a minimum at a season of the
year when freight traffic is light. The gen
cral manager believes in reducing number !
rather than Introducing ' .ho pruning knife
on the salary roll. The demands of the
trafllc do not call for a full force at this
season , and when the fall and winter rusl
sets in the operating machinery can bo in
creased proportionately.

An arrangement has been reached by tin
western roads to use World's fair rates , botl

FACTS ABOUT JFANS.
A Woman' * Ornament with a Varied UU-
tory.
A fan Is a weapon , an ornament , a lan
guage , a slave. This It has bcon In all
ages , says tlio Now York Sun , nnd Its
history is interwoven with that of
women. There was once a mysterious
murder In Russia. Tlio assas&in loft be
hind a bundle of letters , n jilstol , a pow
der puff and a fan. The letters were
anonymous ; the pistol might belong to
any one ; but the powder puff nnd fan
pointed to a woman. The fan betrayed
her. Ono need only recur more recently
to the "Idler"at the lyceum , and "Lady
Windnioro's Kan. " Tlio fan to a woman
has boon compared to the mustache of a
man. In moments of embarrassment ,
when a man strokes his mustache , a
woman uses her fan.
The styles of J.830 bring the fan Into
new prominence. It was not a flirta
tious age , but the slow oloqtient move
ment served to 1111 in the pauses between
cups of tea and to show oil' the line turn
and movonien * . of the wrist.
In a recent wedding trousseau there
were fans for every dress. Some were
bimple , o there clnbjrato , but their wur-
liose was the same.
The fan of today is of transparent
gauze , with painted ornament and
spangles. The more handsome fans
have medallions with delie-ato palr'.ingri
set in luce. The sticks are compara-
tiuely short and are ca 'od rather than
inlaid. Neither pearl nor ivory com
pares in beauty with tortoise shell ,
which is so rich in contrasts. The pro
portions of the sticks to the gauze is
shown in the illustrations. Many stie-ks
arc cncluhcd in perforated silver. The )
fashion is less handsome than a protec
tion to the delicate fabric beneath.
This is a point to bo remembered by
men. There arc young men who spend
considerable parts of their income in
netting fans repaired after too rash
handling.
Franco and Japan are the great pur
veyors of fans in tlio feminine world.
Tlio myths and allegories rank first in
furnishing motives for the ornamenta
tion of fans. The fetes cliumpotrcs
which have como elown from the days ol
Wattcau are only jess popular. Some ol
the French families , such as Madeline
Lcmairc and Leloir , who have painted
fans , use modern types , pointed faced
Parisians clad in the most irreproach
able yet daring French costumes. These
are lit feir museum pieces and will in the
future bo to the collector of fans what
the fans of the periods of the Louis ,
Charles II. and the empire are to us. D
After leaving the expensive fans the
. .lapancsoremain the best models. The
llower painted gauze fans of tlio chcapoi
sort are irredeemably bad. But a Japanese
aneso fan , however unimportant , dis
closes certain facts of drawing and for
tilitj' of design that never permits then
to bo commonplace. Tlio newer fans o
solid colors , with bold designs in gold
are even distinguished lookingalthougl
cheap in price.

CHICAGO , July 8. The equable weather of
July1 Is beginning to tell perceptibly on the
attendance at the World's fair. The dally
average Is showing a gradual but constant
increase and the olllclals expect this to con
tinue until the early autumn , after the har
vest , shall show the greatest attendance per
week of any perio.1 of the exposition. The
period of unselfish amity among railroad
oniclals having passed nnd the railroads
having begun to cut rates , the approaching
era of cheap railroad travel cannot fail to
show an enormous Incrcaso in the number of
visitors from n distance. Among the average
dally visitors at the fair at this time fully
00 per cent nro from Illinois or within n
radius of 100 miles from the city. The
people of the war west , the extreme eas
and the sunny south seem to bo wtattng for
cheaper rates , or moro suitable weather.
An Innovation made by the Lone Star
state at the completion of the Texas build
ing today Is likely to strike uopular senti
ment and ho 1m Itatod by many other state
commissioners. The completion of the state
building this afternoon was celebrated by
the Inauguratloa of u scries of musical re
citals to be given by amatucr talent in the
auditorium of the handsome structure from
time to time throughout the summer. By
this plan the ladies of the Lone Star will
not only furnish excellent entertainment
for visitors , but will place before the p'ublic
an unique exhibition of state culture and
dramatic talent. The first concert was a
decided success. The music was. excellent ,
while the young ladles taking part in the
recital showe-l marked talent and taste In
executing their perfoemanccs. Alargo num
ber of Texas people were present as well as
many olners. Tno occasion also marked the
oueningof the building , which now stands
complete In ovcry detail although It will not
be onicially dedicated \mtll July 211 , when
there will be an extensive celebration and
appropriate ceremonies.
At H o'clock this afternoon at Festival hall
a grand concert was given by the Chicago
Columbian chorus of 1,000 voices and the entire -
tire strength of the exhibition orchestra of
140 pieces , under ThcoJoro Thomas. The
popular orchestral concert this evening at
the now music pavtlllon , commencing at 0
o'clock , inaugurated the new series of sum
mer evening open air i-onccrts unothe di
rection of Mr. Theodore Thomas ,
Without formality the doors of the build
ing erected by the republic of Colombia
were thrown open this afternoon. Formal
celebrations are reserved for July 20 , which
is national independence day in Colombia.
Prof. ToiLiblius and Theodore Thomas
have arranged an exceedingly line scries of
musical entertainments for the exposition
next week. Tomorrow thcro will be sacred
OoJccrts during the afternoon and evening.

WRECKS OF RATTLED REASON
Sknlls Upon Which Imps of Incurable In

LUNATICS WITH WHEELS IN THEIR HEADS
Peculiar lliUliiclnntloix tlmt Ilnnnt ti3 )
Anilctcd One Women WliotnTnngiio
Never Movm Othari Alluded
Dlfl'cronlly.
Tor many year * the Incurable lusano or
Douglas county have been knocked uroutul ,
going from i > Hlar to post , simply because
there was no Institution untlor the protect
ing wing of the state that had been pro
vided for thulr afo keeping. First they
were font to the Insane hospital at Lincoln ,
there to remain until that Institution be
came overcrowded , after which they were
detained at Norfolk and then at Huntings.
Each time the stay was short , owing to tlio
fact that they had to move out In order that
thcro might bo room for the curable cases.
During the past two years the state has
enlarged the Hastings institution , and yes
terday the ofllelalB of this county were noti
fied that thcro was room for twelve of the
Douglas county Incurables and tiiat eight
moro would bo received during the next two
or tnrco months. Ut > on receipt of this Information
mation the keeper of the insane at the
county hospital picked out twelve of the
worst casrs , six men and six women , and
sent their names In to the commissioners.
The list was sent to the clerk of the district
court , who Immediately Instructed Sheriff
Dennett to select his assistants and take
these unfortunate persons to the Hastings
asylum tomorrow morning. Lnst night the
sheriff picked his mule and female guards ,
and at an early hour they will start on the
Journey.
Those twelve norsons whoso mental facul
ties aru impaired form ono of the most pecu
liar aggregations that ever went out of this
county. They are all as crazy as bed bugs ,
though they are absolutely harmless. While
their cases are sad in the extreme , a few of
these people are happy and seem to enjoy
the situation.
llnlliiclnitlnns : of Currlo Hnrftoy.
Ono of the most striking cases Is that of
Carrie Dorsoy , who became an Inmate of
the institution In 1S8S , anil at that time was
2s years of ago. She was in n cherry tree ,
gathering the fruit , when a limb broke and
she fell to the ground. At the time it was
not thought that she. had sustained any se
rious Injuries , as she went about her work ,
but a few days later she complained of a
pain In her head and said that it hurt
her when she tried to talk. After that she
stopped talking and from that time to this
hns never uttered n word , though she will
point to ttio heavens and laugh for hours at
a time , stopping now and then to go through
the motion of nicking Imaginary cherries.
At other times she will go about the yards
of the hospital , wIToro she will shako the
shade trees and laugh In the most hearty
manner as she watches for the cherries to
drop to the ground.
Mary K. Cronln bears the distinction of
having been an Inmate of the hospital for
the longest period of time , as that place has
been her homo since 1872 , she hav
ing been sent there when she was S3
years of atc. lioligion is her particular
mania. Thirty years ago she lost her
reason and stuik ; her fool in a bud of live
coals that she mieht atone lor the sins that
she imagined that she had cwmmlttod. She
held her feet in the flre until they were
burned to a crlan , and apparently being un
conscious of any pain. Members of her
family found her in the terrible condition
and Immediately summoned a physician ,
who saved the pedal extremities , but reason
hud taken its flight. Since th.it time the
woman has spent the most of her time in
prayer. She remains In her room for'days
at a time , making paper llowcrs , some of
which are very beautiful. These she de
clares are offerings to her C5od. who is dis
pleased with some act which she claims she
has committed.
Ono Woman Who Never Talks.
Lena Scudder , who was 22 years of ago
when she became an inmate of the hospital ,
and who has been there since 188U , Is a case
that so fur has ba filed all medical science , as
none of the physicians can account for nor
Insanity. She is u strong , healthy woman ,
with the reddest of rod hair. Her principal
occupation consists of walking up and down
the corridors , making grimaces and laughing
at everything that she sees. Mot a word
has she uttered during the past four years ,
but she has fought nndwhlpued nearly every
Inrnato in the institution.
The reason of Alice McFadden took its
flight five years ago , and when she was 'J8
years of age. Religion is said to have been
the cause of her sad condition , and during
every Hour of the day and during the long
and 'dreary watches of the night , she de
clares that she is in Shcol , with all of the
. nips of purgatory playing hide and seek
about her person. Sometimes she will wake
In the dead of night and with the most
unearthly screams > vill beg of the keepers to
pull the devils away. After going through
ono of these nights she will entertain her
companions the next morning by telling
them of her fights with Satan and how she
wrested his rod hot pitchfork out of his
grasp and thrust it through his own body ,
Killing him with ono foil stroke.
Mary Pokorney Is 45 years of ago and has
been a charge on the county for live years.
She Is ono of the most quiet persons about
the county hospital , refusing to talk , except
at rare intervals , when she will break loose
and chatter away like a magplo. At such
imes she uses every argument to convince
I .T hearers that she is the father ot George
, Vashiugton , and that Hko n dutiful son he
s coming to take her away , "Just as soon as
ic whips those nasty Britishers. " During
.ho hours when she is given to talking hoi
nind runs entirely to revolutionary events
ind what Washington did for America.
Catherine Conners's insanity was caused
) V the deuh of eer husband , who died sjme
seventeen years ago. She has been In the
lospltal sixteen years , having gone thnri
when she was 114 years of ago. Diulng al
these years she has hud but two Ideas , OIK
of which has been that she Is and alwayi
las been the wife of an ox-president , am'
.ho other that she is the owner of the en
ilro universe. She will urge In the mos
positive terms that she Is the owner of tin
lospitnl and that she is running the place a :
a frco boarding house , but that some evl
disposed persons have run In a lot of lunatic ;
to impose on her generosity.
Six Men with Dethroned llniuon.
The six men who will leave the county fum
tomorrow have some queer fads runnlni
through their heads and mixing up will
the wheels. For instance there in Join
Meddling who went into the hospital liv- -
vein's ago , and when his years numbered ! 1
Business troubles turned John's br.iin of it
balance and now ho has an idea thai som
person wants to kill him and secure hi
wealth , which ho utmost always estimate
at fl4lty'J.71 and declares is invested In cattle
tlo and sheep. For hours at a time ho wll
gale out of the window without saying
ward , when all of u sudden ho will ruv
around and declare that the robber
have como. Then ho will shako th
burs of the windows and upon Jlndln
that ho cannot get out , ho will break dow
and cry llko a child , Baying Unit they hav
stolen his property and In a llttlo time the
will bo back to murder him.
When Erastus Fiddler was'-'J years of ng <
which was in 1881 , ho was alllicted wit
scarlet fever. ' Ho recovered , but his mm
sinex ) that time has been wandering and a
of thcso years ho has thought that ho IK
been a policeman. Llko an onicer of tli
regular force ha will patrol the corridor
stopping every person who chances to con
In his way and asking them their buslncs
If the correct answer U not given , accordh :
to his way of thinking , ho draws his iimi
inary club and remark * , "Move on , or I1
run you in , "
In lt 38 , when W years of ngo , Charli
Chrlstiansun went daft , and since that tin
most of his time has been devoted tolookit
out into vacancy. When you ask , "Charlu
what are you looking nil hu simply tun
around and answers , "Looking at the dovl
don't you feel better slnco you found oul't"
John Chunoy found a home In the hosplt
in 18S1 , and when he was ! ttyears old , 1'ri
to that time , anu ever since , he has thoug !
that hu possessed the power of couimui
eating with the dead , and tnerc Is hardly
night that hu docs not sit on the edge of L
hunk nml ovmvorao with the spirits of the
departed. This man went crar.y over re
ligious matters.
Think * tlo Itni Mr. Clnrk' * , Tnh.
Thomas Connelly Is happy , oven If ho Is
cmity , for ho labors under the conviction
that he is the president of the Union I'nciflo
railroad. Ho wont to the county farm live
yc.ira ago , and when he hud rounded tijv 40
sutnmi'i-s , Kvor slnco that time ho has been
discussing freight rates and Issuing passes
over the entire system. Ho Insists that it
was ho who drove the last aplko on the
mountain division , which united the two
ends of the road. When ankod why ho does
not go away aud enjoy his salary , ho simply
laughs nnd answers that ho has so niurh
business on hand that ho nua no time to mix
up In the frivolities of the world , though ho
says that when ho gets the debts paid oft
and the road on its foot , ho Inlands taking a
trip around the world and will take all of
the Omaha people with him , paying all of
their expenses.
When Henry U. Meyers was 35 years of
ago , which was In ISTO , hornet with llnanclal
reverses and lost several thousand dollar * In
a real t state speculation. Kver since then
ho has been a boarder at the Insane hospital
of the county and during all of these years
helms considered himself the richest man on
earth , estimating his wealth in the sum of
$700,000KX,000 ( ) , without over changing n
llguro. He never drops a cipher , nor does
heo\er add ono. The long and the short of
the whole matter Is that Henry openly de
clares that every dollar of money In the
world Is his. Ho will tell his llstners that
ho has loaned money to every nation on the
face of the glebe and that he holds a murl-
gage on every government. Last winter ho
had his usually quiet disposition stirred up
because ho got the smallest potatou In the
illsh and over slnco that thlmo ho has declared -
clarod that ho would foreclose his mort
gages if he could llml an honon attorney and
bring some of the nations to time. Meyers
works but little , urging that on account of
his vast wealth ho does not have to engage
In toll nnd that It Is an insult to ask a man
of his llnanclal standing to bring himself
down on a level with a common laborer.

WAHiuxtiTON , July 8.Tho circuit from
which the late Justice Hlatchford was ap
pointed to the supreme court , containing the
Northern , Eastern and Southern districts of
Now York , Vermont nnd Connecticut , con -
tains S3 many lawyers of eminence that
President Cleveland Is likely to bo embar
rassed In choDsin ; ; from thorn a successor to
the dead jurist. Among these wlicso names
are suggested Is Mr. E. .1. Pl.olps ot Ver
mont. Mr. IMiclps Is at present engaged as
senior counsel for the United States in the
argument before the Bering sea arbitration
at 1'rrls. He has been United States minis
ter to Great Hrltain by Mr , Cleveland's ap
pointment and served a term as president of
the National Har association.
Another name that comes to the front Is
B. Henry Lacombe , Judge of the United
States circuit court for the southern district
of New York. Judge Lacombe was ap
pointed by 1'residcnt Cleveland.
Other names from Now York are those
of James C. Carter and Frederick C.
Coudert , ono of the most prominent sup
porters of president Cleveland In the state
and identified In a way with the snapper
movement of ISUi Mr. Carter and Mr.
Coupert are at present engaged with Mr.
i'hclps as counsel for the United States in
the licring sda arbitration at Paris.
Connecticut possesses a possibility in the
person of Charles French , but his adv.iiiced
years are believed to be a bar against his ap-
po'ntmeuo. '
The names of both Soere rics Grcsham
and Carlisle are mentioned , but it can bo
stated with confidence that the place will
not be offered to either of the gentlemen.
The Star has this suggestion : "Now is
the time for 1'resident Cleveland to upset
another party tradition and set a now po
litical precedent by appointing ox-Prosldent
Harrison to the vacancy in the supreme
bench. "
The supreme court will not meet until the
second Monday in October , so that the presi
dent will have throe full months in which to
make up Ills mind.

some of his intlmato friends have rovontly
expressed doubt as to whether ho would
oven allow himself to bo nominated for sen

Judge Allison declined to say whether or not
It was done with hla authority. It was gen
erally understood among hlu friends that ho
was willing to run if the nomination should
bo offered him.
Within the last few days the news has

nnd political leaders In Washington , a long
discussion ot available candidates resulted
In the decision that if the present governor
was not renommated the best man who

Is wealthy and has always been willing to
use his money in politics. Ho Is widely
known and popular , a man of good character
and ability , and has been a candidate for

Terrible Work of the Sturm Uncovered by
the Iti'lloC Tarty from Sioux City.
FoxiiA , la , , July 7. Tlio relief train from
Sioux City toiluy saw the first evidence of
the terrible work of last night's eyclono
after passing Storm Luke. Tlio northwest
shore of the lake is heavily woo.led , but a
quarter of n milo of it had been shaven as
cleanly as by n wood man's axe. On the op
posite side throe miles further on were tie
ruins of Buena Vista farm , where sixty
head of valuable stock were destroyed.
From Storm lake cast the Associated
press correspondent easily kept the track of
the storm In sight. It had pursued a courjo
exactly parallel to the Illinois Central , nbout
half a mile south of it. The half mlle
showed miutli destruction of property and
loss of life , as there are a scries of llttlo
towns along ttio line of road which wera
barely missed by the scar It loft.
In the country beyond which was plainly
sjcn was strewn with wrecks of homes and
farms that represented the hopes and labor
of years. Throe-quarters of a milo west of
Pomeroy the storm sworvid slightly to the
north , Just enough to take in all the south
side of the town. Where It was are now
only heaps of bricks and acres Of splinters ,
with clothing , provisions and the remains of
furniture scattered about.
I'l'CiilliirUluM or the 'I M later.
So definite was the course of the storm
that the south wall of a brick drug store
was torn out , leaving the rest of the build
ing intact and the. show cases within with
out n crack. So definite wan it , too , that
something like fifty people perUhcd in its
path through the town. Pomoroy was u
place of cofllns and confusion to Jay. Noono
know the living or the doad. Tlio former
roamed the streets with little apparently
organi/.ed effort , and the latter lay impassive )
upon the tables of an old billiard room.
Child and gray beard lay side hy side with
the unwashed lee plleJ about the bloody
sheets with which they wore covered. A
young man of 18 lay with it largo
>
splinter , piercing from shoulder to thigh ,
lie had been dashed against the
side of a building with Kiicli force as to
leave htm a inero shapelos * mans of bono and
llesh. Ono woman lay In a rear room with
her head by her side to bo held until her
right limb was found and the remains buried
In ono eoflln. Ono body was struck by the
flying sections of n roof nnd crushed to a
pulp.
The Frost Bisters , two bright young school
teachers , had been found lying dead under a
tree where the wind hud carried them and
still lay on the cold slab clasped in each
other's embrace. In some grim Jest the
wind had set the one hoarse in town on end
