OPPOS1TEOPIN10NS RESPECTING RATE WAR
Conservative Scntlinrnt I * tint the Present
Kipcrlmcnt AVIll Make Imperative tHe
Ncccfulty ol Itrnrgniilzliig the Wi st
ern Line * I'ussBiiBcr Association.
The railroad offices along the row were
considerably crowded yesterday , duo to
the low rates to the wettorn section of the
country und the northwest. The Union
Pacific , Ilock Itland and llurl ngton city oftlcej
tvero filled with prospective tourists , the
ales to Denver , Colorado Springs and
I'ueblo made by the Burlington nnd subse
quently met by the Ilock Island nnd Missouri
Pacific being the causu for many Inquiries as
to the limit on tickets purchased ycster-
day. The Union Pacific people w re
busy , Intending land purchasers along
that system showing ate detcrmlna-
tlwi to tal ( advantage of the
low rates made for their benefit , permitting
a personal Inspection of the Irrigation sys
tems In process of operation In the western
section of the state. The tickets , which are
good for that date only , have a final limit
of April 30 , sufllclent time , however , for pros
pective owners of western real estate to in
spect property and decide upon Investment.
In some quarters It Is thought the pres
ent low rates will be duplicated In a fort
night with corresponding low rates and that
the liveliest kind of rate war Is browing.
Uut In conservative railroad circles It Is
thought one day of these low rateo will be
sufficient to bring the big systems of rails
to a realization of the Importance of complet
ing the organization of the Western Lines
Passenger ast-cclatlon Instead of pbying harrl
karl with passenger rates.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of the
Union Pacific was pronounced In his opinion
yesterday that If railroads would adhere
closely to the rules promulgated for the
control of these tickets demoralization
of rates would be an Impassibility. He v.aa
quite frank in saying that the Union Pacific
would do nothing in the future to warrant
the assertion that It was engaged In de
moralizing rutfH. As In the past ho woulii
Insist upon all roads playing fair , but should
roads entering his territory , as In the Santa
l'o case , attempt a little sharp practice , he
would undoubtedly meet any and all sucli
competition.
Some criticism Is heard against Mr. Kran-
cls of the Hurllngton for putting In low
rates to the Black Hills on the theory that
ho desired to treat all portions of the west
ern system alike , but In view of the fact
that he has in times past put In low rates
to Utah common points without dlsturhlnif
rates to other points on his system , the as
sertion Is openly made that Mr. Francis Is
not consistent.
One thing is certain , It will take moro
than one day of low rates to disturb the
present situation and before another day Is
decided upon It is thought something will be
done toward perfecting the Western Lines
Passenger association.

ST. LOUIS , April 15. The famous land
title suit In which the St. Paul , Minnesota
& Manitoba brought action against Unsscll
Sago to secure the title to lands In Minnesota
seta valued at ? 200,000 and which suit was
dismissal In March , ISO I , after pending
many years has been brought bsforo the
United States court of appeals In tlild city.
The complainants pray for the setting aside
of the opinion as rendered on the ground that
the title held by missell Sage Is Illegal.
They hold tint by an act of congress of
January 1C , I8S5 , the lands referred to were
given them for railroad purposes by the gov
ernment. About the same tlmo the road
executed certain mortgages to cover bonds
Issued , and In default of payment of Inter
est on April 22 , 1S93 , they were foreclosed
by the state of Minnesota and the land con
veyed to Itusscll Sago as trustee.
In addition to the transfer of the land the
plaintiffs pray for an accounting of all the
Immense tract that has been sold by Mr.
Sage.

Within a very few days It Is expected a call
will bo Issued for western lines to get together
on summer tourist rat ° s , the eastern lines
having agreed to put In tourist rates , effective
tive- May 15 , and to continue In effect to
September 30 , with final return limit not to
exceed October 31. Mr. Hooper of the Denver
& Illo Gramlo lias been anxious to have the
meeting of western lines take place In Den
ver , but thsro has been some objections ex
pressed to Denver , Chicago seemingly being
more favorable that the Colorado capital.
However , romcthlng will have to be done
very soon. In view of the fact that the east
ern lines will call their rate clerks together
this week to line up summer tourist rates in
conformity with the resolution which has
been passed , TIcketB for summer tourists
will bo of the Iron-clad form , good going ,
commencing on the date of sale , and requir

Citizens who have been Interesting them-
elves In the garden plot project have re-
elved a disappointment from one source ,
ut they are not at alt dlscourageJ. The
uggestlon was made that seed might be pro-
ured from the Department of Agriculture at
. 'ashlngton. The department Is shipping
mmcnso quantities of garden seed to all
iarts of the country , several heavy ship-
nents having already been received by the
late Relief commission. At the request of
ho committee Major Kuray wrote to Secrc-
ary Morton asking for n share In the dls-
rlliutlon. The application was made Just
a few days too late , as will be seen by a
icrusal of the following reply , received by
ilajor Fumy this morning :
"Hon. John B. Kuray Dear Sir : I am
Irccted by the secretary to acknowledge re-
icljit of your letter of the 8th Inst. , In which
rou osk for a donation of seed from the de-
> artment to be used by the people out of
inployment on certain grounds around
Omaha , and to express his regrets at his In
ability now to comply with your request ,
iwlng to the fact that all of the seed under
his control has been already distributed ,
lad your letter been received a few dayo
earlier he. might have been able to com-
i > ly with ths request. The department has
sent to Nebraska to be distributed through
ho State Hcllef commission at Lincoln
75,000 packages of sc-eJ , each package con-
mining ten papers , a portion of which , I
liavo no doubt , could have been used for
.he purposes you mentioned. Should the de
partment have seed on hand after the limit
of time- legally given to congress for getting
out Its seed from the department , which Is
May 1 , ho may possibly be able to send you
some , but the chances are remote , as con-
jessmen usually take all they can legally
lay hands on. "

SANITARY OFFICERS AT WORK.
IIicy Servo Xntli-os that thn Alloyn 'Must
Ho Cleaned.
The annual spring cleaning up nf the city
has been transferred from the police depart
ment to the Itoard of Health. Yesterday
four men , engaged by the board , started out
to finish up the work. Tha part of the city
that has already been covered will bo gone
over again , as Dr. Savlllc states that the
police gave particular attention to the cleanIng -
Ing of garbage , and did not pay much atten
tion to vaults nnd drainage. The city lias
been divided Into four districts , to each one
of which a man has been assigned. One
district lies north of Farnam street and cast
of Twenty-fourth ; another , north of Farn.un
and west of Twenty-fourth. The other dis
tricts lie south of Farnam , and are divided
by Twentieth.
The police completed their work In the
cleaning up Saturday night , having been en
gaged since March 23. During that time
they served notices on property owners be
tween Nicholas and Bancroft streets and be
tween the river and Thirty-sixth street.
They went over the same ground a second
time to see that the notices were obeyed.
In this district 1,201 notices were served
and 1,097 obeyed. Besides In many cases
property owners waived service by cleaning
up their premises before the officers visited
them. In the 107 cases In which the service
was not obeyed one-halt of the property
owners were non-residents and their agents
wished to communicate with them before
expending money. The other half had ex
cuses of various kinds. The district be
tween Fifteenth and Twenty-sixth streets
and Nicholas and Lccust streets was served
with notices , but were not visited a second
time. In all the territory that was covered
as much attention was given to drainage as
to garbage.

Mrs. Fulman , who resides on Davenport

I'x-Scnnlnr Pnitdoctc Predicts n General
Krvlvnl nf Kvnl Kxtnte Values.
Ex-Senntor Algernon 8. Paddock is In New
York on business. He writes to a friend In
this city that there Is a perceptible revival
In business throughout the east and that
real estate values are gradually advancing.
Ho says that such Improved conditions In
the east must Inevitably produce a better
feeling west , and adds : "This Is what we
have n right to hope for Omaha sooner than
many think. It always starts here first. The
supreme court decision on the Income tnx law
will help to turn capital touanl real estate
Investments. I look for general activity be
fore long all over the country in real estate
and a bigger boom for Nehraska If we have
( , -col crops this year than we have known
slnca 1S83-S. "
Speaking of the activity In the real estate
market , the New York Herald of recent Issue
says :
The real estate market Just at present Is
remarkably active along all lines. Property
of every description la changing hands , and
business Is not restricted to any one section
of the city. The basis for the extensive tradIng -
Ing is undoubtedly the abundant supply of
money to be obtained on mortgage In liberal
amounts at low rates of Interest. There arc
no indications of a change In conJItlons In
the matti-r of loans , and there Is therefore
every reason to believe that the improved
buy'.ne s will continue. An interesting feat
ure of the trading this season Is the large
number of sales an 1 subsequent resales at
substantial profits. There have been a dozen
Instances recently where professional operat-
i ors have purchased property at fair prices
| and within the space of a few months resold
to Investors at big advances. One such resale
last week netted the professionals a profit of
nearly $300,000 in four months. The constant
recurrence of this experience simply means
that there are many persons with large sums
of money to invest who prefer to make pur-
chasey on the Judgment of professional op
erators rather than on their own.
AN "UNSUPPORTED ASSERTION.
t h.irco of Inhuman Treatment nt the Nn
tlniuil Military Homo Denied.
' In the published accounts of the suicide of
Manfred C. Battey It was stated that a few
days before his demise Battey had charged
that during his sojourn at the Leavenworth
Military home some of the inmates had suf
fered inhuman Intreatmcnt.
Mr. W. II. Gregsten of St. Paul , Neb. ,
writes The Bee that
such Imputations have no
foundation In fact. He says : "The Inmates
are free to come and go as they please
without passes or other formalities , and all
that is asked of them is that they come home
sober. The only punishment I found there
on a recent visit was for repeated drunken
ness and the penalty for that Is so many
days' light work , such as cleaning the walks ,
raking the grass , repairing brick walls and
work of like nature. The governor of the
home , Colonel A. J. Smith , will not permit
abuse of any of the old boys. "
