Press telegrams have Indicated that the
.
Santa Fe has cut the rate from Los Angeles
to eastern points en account of the manipu-
lation of tickets by scalpers , but nothing
, has been sahl of the same trouble which
exists In San Francisco , and which Is liable
, to Involve tM whole western railroad worlll
. In an Internecine war , unless Chairman Cald-
well comes to the relief of lines sicking pro-
tection.
It now appears that brokers In the Paclne
coast metropolis ara selling tickets to ChIcago -
cage and cutting Chicago rates $5 , by manipulating -
nipulating tickets via Kansas CIty to Omaha
. anti Sioux City , and tills Is , lone In a very
shrewd manner. The passenger , on arrival
at Kansas City , sells the unused port.lon- E
hIs ticket , antI Presents an orller on a urOIer
for a ticket to Chicago , the unused coupon
from Kansas City to Omaha , or Sioux CItY .
hning 119 good as old wheat to the brolcer.
Dy this very clever slelght-of-hanll performance -
. anco the passenger saves $5. But the hocus-
pocus does not end with Chicago , for the
- tlcllets affect points cast as well.
These tIckets are openly on sale In San
Pacific notwlth-
Francisco by the Southern ,
standing the protestations of lines vitally Interested -
terested In California business. And by their
reading the pasEenger booing to Chlc3go buys
to the J\tluourl river , with the hope - oC securing -
, curing a cheap ticket to his destination , or If
gelng to New York , buys to Chicago , the
. scalp enabling him to get cast cheaper than
the regular tariff rates call for.
The trouble teems to he In leeeping on ,
; , sale tickets of this kind via the long routes , I
. and sonic oC the lines I'a"eDsked Chairman
Caldwell to rule that these tIckets should be
taken ocr sale because of their demoralIzIng
Innuence. Otherwise the direct lines will
have to protect themselves by payIng a commission -
mission of $5 to ChIcago and points east to
even up.
A representative of the J1urllngton ;
stated that his company was ready
. to go out of this busIness just
as soon as the Union PacIfic showed a
dIrpoetion , ! to play fair. lie understood that
the Missouri paclnc was somewhat differently -
ently situated because of having a Pueblo can-
nectlon , and might route bUfJlness v'a Kansas -
sas City and Sioux City consistently.
On the other hand Union Pacific officials
affirm that they will only be too glad : to
have this matter settled , for Instead of conserving -
serving revenue It means constant disturb.
ance of exlslIng rates.
' Dy reason of thIs manipulation
the passenger Is enabled to get to
4. Chicago for $5 , whereas the local rate Is
$12.50 , anti leaving California by reason eC
. _ the cIrcuitous route , has the benent of nearly
, $9 to reach his destination.

Kansas & Texas Into line , allll the Missouri
Pacific Is on thc fence as to Joining the

Ing house during the coopers' strike last tall
On September 17 he was at the Seventeenth
street station , awaiting the departure oC the
Union I'aclnc worlclngmen's train , when Nelt
and several others , who claimed to he
strIkers , bent him , according to his statement -
ment , with pieces ot gas pipe Ills skull was
frectured amt tar a long tlllle nil hope oC hIs
recovery was given lip. Charles Nelt was
arrested as the loader of the gang allll
charged with assault with Intent to 11111. I
The defense will rely entirely upon prov-
lug an alibi. They will allempt 10 lrOVe )

In her answer the detenl1fint set up the
pIca that she was , nt the time thIs work was

Morrlsy knew It. Therefore , when he dId
the work he was aIding and abetting ! crime ,
In the- city ef Omaha and was not entitled
te any payment whate\'er. Judge Keysor , '
would not permit this defense to go before
the jury , for If the work was done properly

hl' could see no reason why a person of ball
character should not pay hIs debts as well as
good citizens.
n'slIlt or the GriiIt'
The city oC Omaha , defendant In a suit
commenced by George W. Smith and others ,
has filed a de111urrcr.
The suit grows out of ordinance No. 13G ,
passed In 1890 , to change the grade of
Douglas , between Sixteenth and Twentieth
streets. The damages which woull1 result to
the property fronting on the part of the
sit eet to be graded were estimated , and a
special tax was levied on all property whIch
would be benefited by the change of grade.
The complaining property owners refused to
pay the special tax and petitioned for nn
order restraining the city from selling the
property for the purpose of collecting It.
The demurrer filed states that the complaint -
plaint Involves questions which are not common -
mon to all oC the defendants ] , and that con-
trary questions arc Involved.

EAST'S PRELIMIN'ARY HEARING
Charged With Firing Cotton's leo nOU8e-
, . . _
The 1 .lclrn" "
_ , pnn _ _ _ _
Yesterday afternoon the preliminary hear-
lag of Drant East , charged with setting tire
to the Ice house on Seventh and Webster
streets , belonging to Frank L. Cotton , on the
nIght of FelJruary 18 , was begun In police
court and will be continued this afternoon.
The testimony of the state was all taken , but
the defendant was the only one on the stand
for the defense , and there arc several more
witnesses to be heard.
The state showed by Cotton and other wit-
nesses that East threatened to get even with
Cotton because tile latter Ihstructed his men
to cut some ice that had beets staked out by
East. Some of the wItnesses also said that
East state that Cotton would never poodle
any of the Ice that he cut fl'om that portion
of the river. 1l was also shown that there
was considerable III fooling between the
men George Webster , one or tIme witnesses ,
testlned that he was attracted by time blaze ,
anti as he was running toward It , ho met a
luau running In the opposlto direction. ThIs
man was of East's build and wore a long
black overcoat and a cap. Other witnesses
testified to having seen a man In a long
black overcoat and cap riding on tIme > Walnut
Hill motor line shortly after the tire started ,
who got err near Fortieth and Hamilton
streets , near where East \1\'es. \ The slate's
case consists In trying to prove that this
man In time black overcoat and cap was
East.
The defense Is seeking to prove an alibi
East was on the stand and gave a detailed
account of' his whereabouts on the afternoon
and time evening of thc day. lIe denied ha\-
lug been anywhere In the neighborhood of
the Ice hous . lie admilled that he had no
gOOll feelings toward Cotton , and that he had
told him that ho would get even , but denied
that hD had said that Colton would never
sell the Ice that he cut from tile portion of
the river In dispute.

REPORT FOR DUTY.
Colored Flremell Will Begin Work This
itiornmmmg.
The Board of Fire and Police Commis-
sinners has decided lo put the colored fire
company Into service at once , and It will
be assigned for duty by Chief Redell to-
day The members will go on duty the
next day . 00 that the terms of service may
date from March 1. Until the chief iseues his
'erders It Is not known ] where the new company -
pany will be le-cated , but It Is said that It
will be placed at one of the down town e'hglne
Itoimses. It Is well known that the policy of
the chief Is to put the best captains at the
outside houses and as the new company will
bc compos d of amateurs , It Is naturally expected -
I pected that It will bo located where It wIll

Chief Hedell argues " tlmat when there Is a
fire In the down town district the chiefs
arc on hand ae soon as the rest of the department -
partment , and the fighting Is done under
their Immediate super"lson. ! There arc , however -
ever , a great many fine resldenc , manu-
Cacturlng plants , etc. , on the outskirts which
the chiefs cannot reach until the tire Is well
under way. In these cases the captains have
to ( handle the tire at the start , and as the
first ten minutes are always the most Important -
tant perIod , Il Is essential that the , captains
at these points should have sufficient ability
'mad 'experience to 'work to advantage until
their superior officer arrives. '

What is Ozomu1sion ? . I ,
Ozomulsion is a medicine-pure and simple ;
' pure cod Liver Oil , Ozone and Guaiac > -
simple to mix if you only know how. Dr.
Slocum is the only man that knows Just
how , and he has spent the good part of a
lifetime finding out. Any doctot will tell
you that cod liver oil is good , that ozone is
, . good , and that guaiacol is good , but he can't
nii 'em just right , so they're pleasant to
take Some doctors will tell you that no-
. body can Dr. SlocUln can Some doctors
prescribe OzomulsiOl . Some don't , Broad-
gauge doctors , say II Take Ozomulsion , "
They know a thing or two They know
that keeping folks sick don't pay nowadays ;
getting them well quick pays better Lots
of folks get sick as fast as sick ones , get well
If some one tells you that you look consul11p-
I . tive , don't worry There's Ozomulsion It
I won't cure an entirely hopeless case ; but ' ,
I few cases are hopeless , while Oz0l11ulsiol1 is
to be had Ozomulsion costs a doIl ar'a bottle ,
- One bottle will start ' right

A "COSY ' CORNER. "
As you look at this "Cosy Corner" you can
feel the pulses of comfort bcating ! all through
your body at eighty to the minute.
It Is all made Inene piece , and It flits Into
any corner of the room taking no space that
cannot be easily spared , and converting an
uninteresting waste Into the most charming
nook In the whole house
You cannot overestimate the effect ot one
of tbese "cosy corners" In a room ; It changes
the whole . apartment ; it Is odd and "Inter-
esUng" ; It Is comtort-crammOO , and It Is
fashionable.
It Is not expensive. Do not be frightened
by the bugbror of economy. There Is 110 reason - '
son why you should not own It as naturally
as you would own a sofa. Price will not pre-
vent you Will you not see It at once ?
