Onic'ers Wiatt and Crafts of the police
force were badly hurt In their East Omaha
encounter Sunday night , and although the
chances are that they will recover , thcro Is
enough uncertainty about It to make their
condition by no means a pleasant ono.
Wlatt was stabbed twlco In the back , ono
of the wounds being on the shoulder and the
Other In the hack about midway between the
aptno nnd the shoulder blade. The latter
wound is a very bad one , the knife blade on-
entering about three nnd a half Inches. It
causes him great pain at every breath.
Wlatt says that ho and Crafts were simply
overcome by force of numbers , the toughs
being about twelve or fifteen In number.
OCrnfts' Injuries nro if anything moro seri
ous than Wlatt'H ' , The toughs got him down
and kicked him and stamped upon him. AH
ils wounds are about the head and fncp ,
ivhlch look as though it would not have
taken much more to make It a case of out
and out murder , Ono eye is entirely closed
and the other almost closed , while his entire
head and face nro ono mass of bruises ,
swollen and munglcd almost beyond recogni
tion.
tion.Dr. . Mncrao , jr. , who is attending them ,
says there is a good chance for their recov
ery , although It Is impossible nt present to
tell positively what will bo the outcome.
The hot weather may bring about blood
poisoning or something of the kind , but
aside from that possibility ho thinks their
chances for pulling through are good. Officer
Wlatt thinks ho put a hole through ono of
the desperadoes. IIu shot three times , the
first time squarely at the breast of ono of
them , and ho thinks the ball could not have
been entirely wasted. Ho knows the face of
the man that did the stabbing , and has
furnished a description to the police.

The dog poisoning Industry has taken
on now vigor recently on Park and Glen
avenues In the vicinity of the High school
building. Within the last four days
llvo dogs have turned up their toea
as the result of the doings of some unprinci
pled scoundrel to whom the owners would
llko to have a chance to administer some
of his own medicine. Two of the dogs belonged -
longed to U. L. Williams , and one of
them wns a flno Newfoundland whose
master valued him highly. Robert Green
lost a $50 Irish soter and L. Kirseht an ani
mal for which ho had lately refused au offer
ot $75 , In the same way. T. A. Gavin's ' pel
pug followed In the footsteps ol
his brother unfortunates. Ycsterdaj
morning G. M. Washburn found o
oleco of meat rolled up with poison inside II
and tied together with a piece of white bread ,
the morsel having evidently been prepared
for Wusburu's dog. 1'ho parties interested
have a suspicion us to the identity of tlu
guilty ono , and will make an effort to glv (
the police court Judge a job.
Justice Field joported a peculiar case It
the same line yesterday. His dog and an
other dog were playing about the yard wltt
the same bone. After they had enjoyei
themselves awhile the other dog sud
denly lay down , heaved a few sighs
and gave up the ghost. A moment later Mr
Field's' ' dog did the same thing , all but glv
Ing up the ghost. Mr. Field pumped hlu
full of lard in order to save his life if possi
bio , but It Ecomcd to do in
good , so ho seized a spade anc
made the preliminary arrangements for i
first class funeral. On going back to th1
corpse ho was somewhat surprised to flm
that it had vanished. The lard had done it :
work and the dog was skirmishing arouni
looking for moro bones with strychnine. Mi

The little boy was unconscious and o

TONIUHT UK WAS HKLD UP-
Conductor Dtmcnn llni nn Uipcrlonco nnd
I * Frightened llnlf to Dciith.
"Quick 1 Let mo hldel lot mo hldel"
Jt was I. Duncan , a motor conductor on the
Main street line , and H. A. Balrd , In his
store on Broadway , was the ono that was
spoken to. It was nothing but n harmless
newspaper man that was following , but Dun
can thought It was a train robber , and ho
wanted to hide.
Four men got on board his train at the
corner of Pearl and Broadway , and rodp
down street. On the way down Duncan
claims that ono of them pulled a gun on htm
and pointed It at him , with the
evident purpose of holding him up.
Duncan made ono wild Jump off his train
and landed in the middle of the street In
front of the court house. Ho rushed over
to Spottnan's store 'nml shelled out
his money Into the hands of the pro
prietor , begging him to keep It
until morning. The motor man ran the train
to the end ot Main street and back , Duncan
catching It on the return trip. Ho rode up
to the upper end of Broadway nnd back ,
and when ho arrived nt Pearl street
ngatn a reporter for a local sheet
get on board to Interview him about his
experience. Then It was that ho thought
the train robber was after his scalp again
nnd ho made a wild break for Batrd's store ,
Ho was kindly allowed to take refuge in the
cellar , where ho stayed for a little titno.
When ho came out ho was again accosted
by the same reporter , who reached Into his
hip pocket at the same Instant for his note
book. Duncan thought ho was aftcra gun ,
nnd lot out an car-piercing yell that could bo
heard fogrtilocks.
In the meantime word had been sent
to the police station that an attempt
had been made to hold up a motor train
and Alarshal Tomploton and Offi
cers Kemp and Peterson went out
to find the guilty parties. Near the Wabash
depot they ran across four fellows who looked
as though they might hold up n train , nnd
they were ran in. At the city Jail
they gave their names as John A.
Dressier , D. E. Wilfong , William J.
Griffin and W. H. McFadden. Nothing sus-
picuous was found upon them , and the only
thing that could possibly have boon taken
by the terrified conductor for a revolver was
a pair of horse clippers.
Appearances indicate very stronely that
either It is not the right crowd that is now
in cusloday or it Is a clear case of being
frightened half to death on the part of the
conductor. It is certain that a
man Is seldom so b.ully frightened
as was Duncan without finding himself a fit
candidate for the lunatic asylum.
These who witnessed his actions
say that ho acted moro like n
crazy man than llko ono In the
full possession of all his faculties. Ho was
a new man on the road , and had evlUcntlj
had his imagination wrought up to the ver.\
top notch by the frequent reports of trair
robberies in various parts of the country ant
especially in this vicinity ,
Struck and Hun.
J. A. Murphy met George Hudio on Firs
avenue yesterday afternoon and dunned nln
for some money ho claimed Hudio owed hin
for making the fixtures for a salooi
that Hudio formerly ran. Hudto di (
not have the money , or at al
events refused to pay , and the canvorsatioi
between them waxed warm. Finally Alur
phy applied some' epithet to Hudio whicl
did not seem to please him. Murphy wa
sitting In his buggy with his eloow on hi
Knee and his head resting on hi
hand. Ho did not think Rudl
would have the courage to hit him
'and so did not put himself on the defensive
But Kudlo fooled him , and struck him twic
before ho could put nimself in pc
sition to fight. Remembering what ;
valuable assistant discretion was t
valor , ho thcn _ put ono foot before th
other several times with a great deal o
alacrity. Murphy got out of his buggi
hitched his horse and put chase. Roum
the block they went and finally Mui
phy caugnt up with Kudig , but he sudden ] ,
remembered that it was unmanly nt
fight , nnd after giving Rudlo a chance to hi
him again , which that gentleman did no
care to do , he declared the seance at an end
The spectacle created u vast deal of amuse
mcnt for the people who happened to b
within seeing distance.

REFLEOriONS'oN OUR FOOD.
Abomlimtioni Devoured nt the Avcraco
Dliiliic Tnhlo.
"I sat In the dining room of a popular
hotel the other day , " remarked an emi
nent physician to the Now York Ledger
reporter , "and took note of the articles
which some of the people were eating ,
I had but just como in from attending
the exorcises of a graduating class in
medicine , nnd It struck mo with a sort
of grim humor what a delightful coin
cidence there was between the two occu
pations. I hud been taking part in the
graduating of a largo number of medi
cal students , nnd now I was absorbed in
the contemplation of their future
sources of income , and the outlook for
the students scemcil a wonderfully
bright one , for there were seeds of suf
fering in nearly every order Unit the
waiter took from most of tlio guests.
"Ono party in particular nltorded mo
no end of amusement , not , however , un
mixed with disgust , for even though
prosperity for my profession lay in their
conduct , I was so shocked tit their lack
of sense that I think if there had been
u sudden call for a physician I should
have sat ejulotly by and scon them sutler
any amount of pain rather than have an
nounced myself as a disciple of tlio hcal-
im' art. The number of abominations
that these people devoured was some
thing startling. I use the word 'de
voured' advisedly , for there is no other
term that will in any way fit the ease- .
"Thoro were raw shell-fish on ice , al
most boiling-hot sCups , with enormous
elraughts of ice water , probably to cool
off the parched throat , wines of various
sorts , the richest , heavier meats , vege
tables highly seasoned and relishes in
quantity. Those were followed by rich
pastry , cnko and confectionery which
were largely composed of sugar and oily
substances , and ice cream , water ices
and the llko , followed by nuts , raisins
arid various tropical fruits. It scorned
that there must bo either a special prov
idence or a digestion of an ostrich to en
able these people to assimilate such a
conglomeration of almost indigestible
materials. I wonder if people will over
learn that fruit and vegetables grow in
the summer to bo eaten fresh. It is bad
enough to live onnnesata und rich food in
winter or when the fresh products of the
garden are not to bo had , but to pass
these by and satisfy the appetite with
made-up dishes is really something
dreadful.
"The conduct of those people was in
striking contrast with that of a couple
with whom I dinedron , the following day.
They have a pretty little country house
with grounds , a largagarden and a very
small dairy. ThoJ vegetables were sim
ply perfect. The , luncheon was served
with the statement that it was entirely
outside of the conventional. I re
marked that "if the conventional was
what I hrd witnessed the day before , I
was glad to bo notjonly outside of it , but
out of sight and hearing of it as well.
Wo sat down at the table , and freshly
picked green peas , new potatoes , with
bread , butter dnd tea were served.
Fresh lettuce and'crifcp'radishes were a
part of the meal , and/ little trays oi
olives woroi placed within convenient
reach. For a dessert there was a large
dish of red raspberries- a plato ol
homemado.spongo cake. There wasn't
the faintest suspicion of meat about thai
meal , and I think it would bo impossible
to rauko anyone understand how deli
cious it was.
"While I appreciate the advantages
which the members of my profession de
rive from the diet of the human family ,
I do earnestly wish I might see a more
rational , sensible fashion of living. II
is really distressing to realize that all ol
this means the most acute suffering , nol
alone of the foolish persons themselves ;

A well known gentleman of Scattli
the other day handed to a roporto
of a local paper a curious looking scarf

lifelike heart , from which a drop c
blood appeared rcady.to fall.
"A heart of fire bed reamed witl

RATES WILL TAKE A TUMBLE
Union Pacific Swings the Hatchet to Meet
Hotspur Hill's ' Cut.
DEVELOPMENTS ON WORLD'S FAIR RATES
President Olnrk I * Improving nnit Tnlki of
Kcturnlnir to Ills lo k Ilcsult
ol the Clilmgo Mooting
Spnrks nna Ulinlcrn.
The Union Pacific has mot the Great
Northern's first class rate of $25 from
the Missouri river to Portland , the Northern
Pacific having put the same rate Into oltcct
a fortnight ago.
For thft next live days the Union Pacific
and Northern Pacific will undoubtedly do
the westbound business , the Great Northern
having sustained a great loss In
the burning of a bridge on
the Columbia river , which lias tied
up affairs on the Sago of St. Paul's line of
rails slnco July 4 and which will take until
July 15 to rebuild. But the moment the road
Is again open lor travel It is reasonable 1o
expect that Mr. Hill will make the first class
west bound rate irom Missouri river and St.
Paul to Portl-ind $20 , second class $15. Then
Just as soon as his competitors are In n posi
tion to meet thcso rates ho will cut the llrst
class rate to J15 and second class to $12 , and
BO the llgtit botuccn thcso heavy weights of
the transcontlucntnl territory will likely go
on all summer.
But with the completion of the Canadian
Pacific into St. Paul August 1 , a much moro
formidable rival will appear in the Hold's
than oven Hotspur Hill has met in the past
and everybody Is kept guessing : is to what
effect the entrance of this now system will
huvo upon the transcontinental situation.
Mr. Lotiiiix , speaking about the nebulous
condition of transcontinental affairs , said :
"Naturally the position of the Great North
ern Is to mo much moro ominous than the
discussion of mutters in th'o Western Pas
senger association. In meeting the rates
made by Jim Hill on westbjund business
Tom the river only the most aggressive
> olicy on the part of a .competitor could
mvo brought about such a condition. Of
: ourso the Great Northern has everything
; o win In this tight. Hill has a now road and
: io desires to build it up nnd popularise it , so
; hatany thing Is 'ilsh to his net. ' However , the
Canadian pacific will shortly take a hand in
; ho matter , and no man known what Its po-
iition will bo in this connection. The situa-
.ton Is sufficiently serious to demand the at-
entlou of every transcontinental road lookIng -
Ing toward a settlement of diiTcrcnccs that
nay lead to the utter and complete demoral
ization of the passenger business from the
Pugct sound country.

CHICAOO , July 10. [ Special Telegram tc
THE BEE. ] The railroads have thrown t
crumb to the publla in the way of rcducct
iVorld's fair rates. At the meeting of the
Western Passenger association today a plar
which has been under consideration for several
oral days was finally adopted. It provides
for four excursions from points within tin
territory of the association. These excur
sions will bo run July IT , 21 nnd 31 and Au
. .ust 7 and passengers may return cithci
four or eleven days after the going date.
The territory within which there is the
keenest demand for low rates to the fail
will not bo benefited at all by these excur
slons. It Is provided that round trip tickets
will be sold at one fare. But there is tlu
important prov'sion ' that the minimum rate ;
in the southwest and vest shall bo 315 am
in the northwest $13.75. Tills means tha
the territory between Chicago and the Mis
souri river and between Chicago and St
Paul will not bo benefited at all. It Is enl ;
points west of the Missouri river and wes
nnd north of St. Paul that will receive an ;
benefit from these excursion rates.
Homo Further Prohibitions.
The excursion tickets will be peed only fo :
continuous passage on definite dates am
they will not be good in sleeping or parlo :
cars , except that those tickets to and fron
Montana , Utah. Now Mexico or Arizona ma ;
bo honored In tourist or immigrant sleeper
where regular lines of such cars are now 11
operation.
The railroads are prohibited from runnini
extra cars even of the immigrant r.'ass. lit
ducea rates for one-way continuous passag
tickets will also bo maae on the date
of these excursions on a" basis o
71.85 loss than th'o existing special continv
ous passage one way rate. The members o
the association admit that they are simpl
experimenting with the World's fair traffic
They are working on the theory of nialdn
the rates all the traffic will stand. Befor
they adjourned today they agreed to mec
again July 28 to see what effect these oxcui
sions were having and uhothor they coul
longer stand out against the demand of th
public for reasonable faro to Chicago.

The Western Passenger association toda
took up the matter of Pacific coast rate :
and authorized the Union Pucifl
to meet the rates of tho. Gren
Northern and Northern Pacific , b
putting in a rate of $3Ii.GO to Chicago froi
the Pacific coast , yla Omaha and the Nortl
western road only. The rates will oppl
from Kansas City , Leavenworth , St. Josep
nnd Atchison by adding the southern rate
to these points to the Western Passenger a :
sociation southern rates to them. The rate
are to go Into effect at once.
In addition to the regular bl-monthl
meeting of the Central Traffic associatio
for the lines tomorrow , a meeting of the gei

Important matter they will consider Is tl
action of the Grand Trunk in placing ii
tickets on sale In several cities in violatic
of the association rules.

Colonel T. M. Orr of the Union Pacific re-
colved a loiter from President Clark yester
day morning which brought gratifying news
to all the heads of departments and the rank
and file of the service , in which It stated
that the president was gaining ho.iltti
and uppotlto among the mountains
of Pennsylvania. Mr , Clarlt Is not
ntCresson Springs In the Allcghcnlcs , but
Is at n farm house off the line of the Erie
road nt n point only known to the family
and a few Intimate friends. AU letters of a
business character are kept from the presi
dent , and ho Is , In a sense , isolated
from the world , with the hope
that the mountain air of the
Koyslono state will restore him to
health , So hopeful was the letter received
that Mr. Clark may return to Omaha about
July " 0 , his original Intention to return July
1U having boon abandoned because of the
great Improvement noticeable.
There Is no question but that Presi
dent Clark foresaw the present finan
cial depression long before any pronounced
signs indicated what the Union Pacific , as
well as all western roads , nro now under
going. Vitally Interested In the success of
the corporation over which ho rules , Mr.
Clark worried more or loss , and naturally a
complete change ot environment occnmo ah-
solutcly necessary to check a growing physi
cal weakness , with the result that ho will
return a much stronger man than ho has
been for years. At least lhi\t Is the pre
diction of his local physician , who was pro
nounced In his efforts to secure u complete
rest for his patient.
