There was a considerable Improvement In
Iho attendance at the State Breeders' moot
ing at the fair grounds driving park yester
day aftornoonyot It was nothing like what It
Bhould have been , considering the rare at
traction of the racing card. The weather ,
Vlso , was considerably hotter than on the
opening day , barring a stiff wind that occa-
'nlonally ' swept cloifds of dust over the track ,
j-whleh rendered it disagreeable for both
bpoctators and horses.
S Despite a lack of proper encouragement ,
liowovor. the association Is giving the public
one ot the best meetings that has over bean
licld hero. Each event has been promptly
imlled off and -perfect system has marked
the general conduct of affairs In n dcgroo
that cannot but reflect credit upon the man-
Dgoment.

Beauty drew the polo , with Tom Mlllor , a

Swlgort succeeded in getting the colts off on
oven terms , after several scorings. J C was
the first to stiow In front , which position ho
maintained to the half , whore ho was
headed by Tom Miller , the two mixing
slightly , without design , however , on the
part of either driver. From this point on
out Miller led by several lengths , .1 C hurryIng -
Ing him somewhat down the stretch , with
J'ool , the newspaper man's llttlo lllly ,
Ueauty , a close third. Time : 2:10J. : .
The second heat was quite a horse race ,
Tom Miller taking the foremost position
early in the lllght and holding It
by a length clear 'round to the
third quarter. The Journalist's horse
made a bad Jump up , and lost a good deal.
but settled down and did some pretty work.
On entering the stretch Counsel put on u
little more steam , nnd 100 yards from homo
was on a level with J C and but ; v head be
hind Tom Millur. Under the wire the
two were so close together that it re
quired some line discrimination to dis
tinguish the winner. Mlllor , however , had

behind , It was a torchlight procession
clear round to the third quarter , when
Boulah C made a speedy spurt , and a hun
dred yards from the wire was on almost
equal terms with Moida. The sprint homo
was a daisy. Everett by admirable hand

United States Marshal White and United
States District Att/ornoy Baker leave
his morning for' Chadron to attend to
ho preliminary heai'ingof a white evil-door ,
harged with selling liquor to Indians. This
rip is rendered mjee aary by ' 'a now law
iassod by congress at , its last , session , and
vhioh has just rene into effect. It provides
hat the preliminary hearing in these cases
nust bo had in the jiouiity in which the vio-
ation of the lavtouk place.
Hcrotoforo the aucilsed parties have been
arrested on information and generally
brought to Omaha , although in some in-
tances they were takiaboforc federal com-
nissioners at ether points and ball fixed for
their appearance , to await the action of the
grand Jury. Henceforth this course of pro
cedure will be impossible , and it will require
, ho district attorney to cover from 2,000 to
i,000 miles in addition to what he has for-
nerly traveled each year.
There are llvo of these cases now pending ,
and it is the intention of the attorney to
nanage to attend to three of them before
returning to Omaha. The case at Chadron
s an aggravated ono. It scorns that the
guilty party has been acting as liquor pro
curer for llvo or six Indians at Hosobud
agency , who are Tf.irticularly turbulent when
under the influence of firewater , and the
residents of that vicinity , who object to
laying their lives constantly jeopardized in
this manner , set a trap for the culprit , and
impose to have him dealt with as seriously
as the law will allow. Ho has not been cn-
jaged in this unlawful occupation solely for
113 health , as the financial gain was sut-
iieiont to induce him to follow it. It is said
tiis ulan was to get -i ! from the Indians with
which to buy liquor and then buy f > 0 cents
worth of booze at a saloon for his adopted
harges , pocketing as his personal profit

'Wliy Its Tiiy Ui.ll Unit Short.
NEW YOIIK , Aug. 9. It was learned today
that the cause for the Now York Contra 1
being suddenly short of the kind of cash it
wanted to make up its pay roll was the fact
that the Boston & Albany road made its
usual payment to the Central by checks on
Boston banks instead of in cash. New York
banks are unable to accept checks on Bos
ton as cash , because they cannot collect
cash for them or get cash in settlement of
collection accounts owed by Boston banks ,
so the New York Central had to do what
many Now York merchants have been doing
for many days with their checks on Boston ,
Philadelphia and ether near-by cities ,
namely ; Collect the checks themuclves ,
either by express or private messenger , as
best they could. In Boston last Saturday ,
for instance , as much as $ ! 25 for ? l,000 was
paid , It Is said , for New York exchange. In
Philadelphia ? 12 and $15 for $1,000 is being
paid for Now York exchange.

"Just over the line In Washington county ,
northwest of Bonnlngton , they have been
having n real lively school house row , "
said a visitor yesterday. "It appears
that ono faction wanted to hoist the stars
and stripes over the "deestnclt skulo
haouso" mid another faction made strong
objection thereto , with the result that much
bitter fcoliug was engendered. Finally the
flag faction bought a copy of Old Glory and
hoisted it above the school house once or
twice.
"This precipitated some good , hot 'scraps , '
It Is said that some ono touched a match to
the building In these spots where it would
do the most good and now all that remains
of thu school is a pile of ashes , a feud and a
score or so of pupils out on a vacation. "

"Now that the construction of the brldgo - "
across the river at Hast Omaha is raplilly \
Hearing completion , " said Mr , John It. f
Webster of the Omaha Brldgo and Terminal
company , "wo have commenced to send out
feelers for several railroads to usd our
facilities.
"Tho Great Northern has had an eye on
Omaha for some tlmo , but Mr. Hilt could not
see his way clear to getting Into the olty.
Ills recent acquisitions , however , in Sioux
City IIIUKO the mutter considerably clearer
than a short tlmo ngo , and If the present
"financial depression hud not como upon thu
country I believe something'di'llnlto would
have come from this direction.
"Wo are calling attention of other roads ,
however , to lhofact that wo have terminal
facilities right In the heart of Omaha al
most greater than the combined yard facil
ities of all the other roads.Vo show them
that the embargo placed upon their comlnif
to this city In the past tins been llfto.l anil
Omaha Is now In it position to takoall comers
and give them all the trackago needed , not
only for warehouses , but freight depot
purposes.
The proposed yards of the Omaha Brldgo
and Terminal eomna > iy rontomplato the
most modern and the most ooinploto
system of switches and sidetracks
in the western country. Two freight houses
will bo lnllt | whenever they are required
and a system of tracks laid as demanded by
the growing business. The host engineer
has gene over the plans ami after weeks of
surveying pronounces the scheme perfect.
"Tho Hupor.striictnro on the pivotal pier
will bo completed about the end of the
month and then the temporary structure
will bo put in shape for the crossing of
trains. Wo are In first-class shape and
Omaha will shortly realize what has been
going on toward giving her a rightful posi
tion in the world of business and trade. "

General Manager Do Long of the East
Omaha Street Hallway company was not In
a happy frame of mind yesterday morning. . .
"I am a much persecuted man. " said Mr. \
Do Long , when asked for an explanation as to
his look of won. "Probably not persecuted ,
but very much maligned , and all because of
a corral which the company has erected at
Courtlaml ho-irh to protect the crowd.
"Sunday night the croud was unusually
largo at the beach and when the time canio
for going homo the people , instead of wait
ing patiently for our trains to arrive and de
part , walked over everything , blockading
the car tr.icks and jamming things in such a
manner that several women fainted in the
mob. Wo were compelled to stop switching v
the cars for fear of running over the peoplefr
aud so I hear that 1 am being roasted for
something which is clearly the fault of the
impatient public. The corral built at the
beach was for the protection of the public ,
and if ttio people will only recognise that
the railroad has some rights which any court
will respect , they will appreciate our
position. Our aim in building the
stockade was to keep the people
out of the way of our trains whileswitching. .
Wo antiiip.itcd that the public would appre
ciate our position and help us give them the
best service possible , but. instead of remain
ing inside the beach enclosure until our
trams are made up , they insist upon getting
out of the grounds , with the result that our
trains meet a moli at the upper end of the
corral , anxious to gtt on the cars. If Omaha
people could only see how crowds are han
dled at Coney Island , Atlantic City , or Iho
great railroad stations of America nnd at
Charing Cross , London , they would appre
ciate hotv inc'ili more advantageous is our
mode at Courtland beach.
"At all of these places tlu > crowds are con-
ilned within enclosures and not allowed to
leave until trains are made up. Hero they
have the whole beach to themselves and if
the least little bit of bcnso is shown Jama
are out ot the question ,
"But to still further accommodate the
public I propose to have the fence taken
down on the side nearest the railroad tr.iuUs ,
so that the pooplu may sen what is going on
and whenever a train U ready to start.
' Fault is found with our manner of
handling the crjwds at night. Now them
is no street railway in the country equipped
to handle 5,000 people at one time nnlfss a
double track is built. This wo haven't got
but will have next season. If wo could
bunch our cars at the beach end , say at
100 : : ! o'clock , it might helve the dlfllcnlty ,
but there are pcoplu coming to the
beach us late as 10 o'clock , and this requires
a train at the Sherman avenue hill , so that
plan is not foaMblo. The only thing U-ft us
this season is to run as uo are now , giving
the very best service wo can under Iho clr- * f
cumstances , and if the puMlu will only bo a
bit fair in its condemnation it will .seo that
the service is not f-o bad after all. "

The Western I'asscngor asiouiatlun hit
decided to reopen thu subject of ( Irand Army
rates , A call was Issued today fur a ino-t-
Ing nf the association to bo held hrrn
August 17 , to take up the whole subject
again , and at this meeting a. treimuidniM
light will bo made to have reduced rates for
the Grand Army men. Homo < t the ro.-uU
have become thoroughly alarmed at the
feeling of hostility that has boon created
against them in Iowa and throughout
thu western states generally on ac
count of their refusal to makii an
acceptable World's fair and Grand Army
rnto. They fear that bills will bo Intro
duced at the coining suasions of thii state
IcgLslatmvs fixing maximum rat us at llguroi
considerably below the present bunis. In
addition to this a inimbnrof the roads have
contracted to carry certain posts boluiv
authorised rates and tho.v want to be pro
tected in fulfilling these contracts. Unless
rates are reduced by agreement theiv is
likely to be trouble in the association , which
may ultimately result In disintegration.
A meeting of the executive eoinnilttoo of

round trip rate will hereafter bo $45 in both
directions. The one-way rate will bo $28 ,
liotween Colorado and Utah common points
the round trip rate will bo iS and the one
