Onrnlia Itfttnllom Kiitrrtnln llnyer * from Tow in on the Mimnurl 1'ncillr. The retail merchants of Omaha have for the pait week been looking forward with no llttlo Interest to the coming 6f today as the time set for the trial of their pot scheme , the running of semi-weekly excursion trains to this city for the nccomodiitlon of country buyers. The trial train was started from Falls City yes terday and arrived In Omaha at 11:80 : over the Missouri Pacific. The train consisted of four coaches and a baggage car and brought in about ! JOO people , not a largo crowd , but a fair number for the first train. The fnro from Falls City , a * distance of about 150 miles , was # 2 , and points this side proportion ately less , ranging down to CO cents. The excursionists wcro required to buy tholr own tickets , the retail merchants of Omaha agreeing to refund the cost of tickets to nil such ns bought goods of them. Parties holdIng - Ing tickets costing * 2 wcro required to buy 20 worth of goods in order to got their money back and cheaper tickets and a pro portionately less amount of goods. On alighting from the train the excursion ists were invited to take souls In busses provlaod by O. K. Scoflold , the cloak man , and were given a free rldo to his place ot business without being placed under any ob ligation to buy anything. Pcoplo in thaVvi- cinity wcro considerably surprised to see seven busses drive up and deposit a crowd or people at Sixteenth and Farnam streets. Otner merchants had provided other ways of showing attention to the excursionists. Some gave tholr customers tickets calling for dinner at the restaurants , Tha excur sions were evidently In the city for business and very llttlo tlmo was spent in sightseeing , but they distributed themselves around among the retail houses and commenced making the day's purchases at once. The rotall merchants expressed themselves as very well pleased with the experiment and think that it is worth repeating. Some are In , favor of making a strong effort to bring in peopln from Iowa , where the country Is older and moro thickly populated than In Nebraska. The intention , however , is to run the next train in over the Nebraska extension of the Hock Island. , , Some of the most enterprising of thorctail merchants of Omaha have been working on this schema for some time , by which people out in the state might bo enabled to do their shopping in Omaha. A good many cities In the east have made a success of excursion trains for retail buyers , and it was argued that the sumo thing might bo done hero. The enterprise , however , is mootIng - Ing with no llttlo opposition , as was to bn expected. Country merchants do not like the idea of having their best customers brought to Omaha to do their trading and they do not hesitate in saying so. The Omaha Jobbers are also very much opposed to the plan as 15 takes trade away from their customers in the country and gives It to the Omaha retail dealers. The opposition on the part of the Jobbers is so strong that some of them have given notlco that they would withdraw from the Com mercial club If that organization gave any encouragement to the schomo. The retail dealers , say , however , that they do not re quire any help from the Commercial club and are acting on their own responsibility. So fal- the Commercial club has taken no part hi" the enterprise and from the attitude of the Jobbers is not likely to. The retail merchants of Omaha claim that thn country traflo is something that Omaha has had very little of and that they cannot afford to ignore the field. Merchants always regard country trade as the very best , as it is a cash trade und largo in volume when once worked up. ; FOR IOWA. 11OAD3. Western Freight Association I/nes Register- a 111 ? Kick. CIIIOAOO , Oct. 24. Iho lines of the West ern Freight association have taken a stand on the question of division of earnings , which will ihako serious trouble for some of the Iowa roads. The association lines have como to the conclusion that for many years back they , have been allowing the Iowa roads too largo u percentage , and have agreed after November 1 they will allow them only their local earnings. It has been the custom heretofore for the Iowa roads to deliver ' a car of merchan dise to an association line and receive anywhere from 40 to 53 per cent of the charges to the point of delivery. For instance , ono of the small rouds would Imvo , a car consigned to Chicago and would de liver it at the nearest point of junction to Chicago lines , which would deliver it in Chi cago. Thus the Iowa line would not handle the car for over 100 miles' . The connecting line would handle the same car three or live times that distance and allow the other line approximately half the total fr&lght. This , it is now proposed to stop and the Iowa lines will receive nothing moro than the total of the local charges from the point of .shipment to the Junction point with Chicago linos. President Roinhart ana several of the di rectors of the Atchlson road "were in the city today , cnrouto to attend the annual meeting of thO directors of tlio road at Topeka Thursday. President Itcin- hart denied the stories which had occn published lately regarding the bad condition of his line , ' Ho says it is in a position to take euro of all its financial obligations , and the outlook was better at present than It had boon for several years , The Union Pacific has agreed to the re quest of the Western Passenger association committee for a conference on the question of Imnilgr&nt business , and it will bo held in Omuhu on Friday or Saturday of this week.

SAMPLE OF'ffi BEMIS VETO How the Mayor Defended the City Treasury Against an Attempted Raid. ABOUT THE HOWELL JUDGMENT CLAIM Story of the Opmilnc/of l.envenwortli Street to the JUvcr Why the Appropria tion \ym Turned Down by the Executive. One of the most notorious attempts which Imvo hoon mndo to raid the city treasury during the pant two yours Is what has como to ho known as the "llowcll Judgment claim. " The llowcll Judgment grew out of the opening of Loavcnworth street from Sixth street to the Missouri river In 1837. The Ilowoll Lumber company owned a plcco of ground In thut vicinity and n , strip oft" It was appropriated by the city , the Jlowell com pany being awarded $1,1)00 ) dn mages and not assessed for tiny beiicllts. This amount wus not satisfactory titiu the Ho well company brought suit against the city , getting JuJg uicnt. A levy was made against the abutting property to pay the cost of opening the street , amounting to $10,772.84. Warrants for this amount wora issued and turned over to the clerk of the district court to moot the amount of the judgment. These warrants have drawn Interest tit the rate of 7 per cent since December , 1891 , and ! , SU1.70 has been paid on them us fast ns taxes were p ld in. I'ho Howell company was taxed $ . 1,880.31 under this levy , but has persistently refused to pay tlio amount or any partof It. This judgment has passed into the hands of ox-Couhcilman C. L , . Chaffco and he has made persistent efforts to Imvo the ful amount paid by the city out of the general .fuml and the judgment fund. Thrco attempts have been mndo within the past year to rail. road this claim through , but each time the vote of the mayor has been sustained. Three times the city council has voted to pay the claim , taking about $0,000 out of tlio general fund and the bnlunco wltli interest , amount ing to $ ( .521.25 , but of the judgment fund , thereby depleting it. for It * V to. Amonc the reasons presented by Mayor Bemis why this claim should not bo paid in the manner proposed , wore the following , in his veto message to the council. September ID , last : "Tho benefits resulting from this exten sion of LoAvetiworth street wore special in their nature and related only to propertj between Sixth street and the Missouri river and were in no sense a general benefit to other property iu the city. I therefore vote this item for the reason thut it is manifestly unjust to appropriate the money of the general - oral taxpayers of the city , winch has been contributed to the general fund und general judgment fund of the city , to pay a special judgment rendered for tlio taking of prop erty for the extension of u street across the Missouri river bottom which Is never used for general travel , but is only used to reach the property speclully.bcnetited. 'I also veto these items for the reason that their allowance1 and payment in the manner proposed is ) in direct violation of section 1G5 of the charter which provides that judgments against the city shall bo paid out of the judgment fund or , when a special fund is created for that purpose , out of such special fund. There can bo no con troversy rogardtngittio fact that a special fund has been created for the purpose of paying this judgment , which it is proposed to pay cup of the general lund. Such action Is not only unjust to the general tax payers of the city , but Is a plain violation of the charter. "I veto these itcms-for the further reason that the proposed payment of the same out of the general fund and .general . judgment 'fund is in violation of another .provision of the charter : ,1 ppfer.to sectloni-COl , which , provides aslfollows : 'Each und every fund created bv this act shall be strictly devoted to the purpoSo-for wnich it was created and shall not be diverted , transferred or bor rowed1 therefrom ; any member of the city council voting to so divert , transfer or borrow - ' row the money In any fund shall bo liable on his official bond for the amount so diverted , transferred or borrowed. ' Protecting tlioiUenornl Fund. "While the general fund may bo used for any. legitimate purpose , the general judg ment fund can only bo used for the purpose of paying general judgments for which no special funds are created. In view of the fact that warrants are now outstanding and in the hands of the clerk of the district court for the full amount of the Howell judgment , drawn on the special fund created lor the purpose of paying the same , it is not only a plain , palpable diversion of , the entire money iu the general judgment fund , but it is also a wrongful and unjustifiable use of the money in the general funa to issue additional war rants aggregating $9,445 on these two funds as is proposed. " Continuing , the mayor said : "Tho reason a greater portion of the remaining special warrants are not paid is due to the failure of the Howcll company to pay tliolr special as sessments , which are now duo and delin quent. It seems to mo a gross Injustice to refuse payment or defer making payment to taxpaylng citizens of Omaha who hold judg ments aenliist the general judgment fund or have valid claims against tbo city , and turn over , withont authority of law , the funds of the city to a judgment creditor who neglects or refuses to pay the special assessment which was made to cover the > identical judg ment so'ught to bo enforced. " The message contained sevnral more rea sons , equally pertinent , and couched in vig orous English , showing the palpable injustice to the city at lurpo by the proposed Vaid , and when a vote was taken there woro-only four votes in favor of passing the claim over the mayor's veto.
