The work on the artesian well at the ex pedition grounds Is still at a standstill , but the contractors have not become dlscouioged. The big drill has been stuck since last Tues day night and the men have been trying all eortB ot schemes to get It loose , but with out success. Thry say that they worked eleven days on the same sort of a job at Kim- wood park and finally succeeded , and thy will certainly get the drill out. The drill Is otuck about forty feet from the bottom of the well. It seems that the piping ran out , and In stead of waiting for the new supply the contractcrs took chances and kept on work- Ing. Finally there was a cave-in and the drill was wedged In BO tight that It could not bo moved. Now the men are working around the drill with a smaller drill. Whili- this Is slow work , they expect that they will eventually dislodge the drill and bo able to haul It up. Hundreds ot ] > eoplo went out to the ex position grounds Sunday and some of them ( stood and watched the drilling for , hours. All the residents in that neighborhood have developed a tremendous Interest In the progress of the well , and when the big drill Is once more at work they will be as happy as the contractors. won KIM : KOR MIIHIS CONVKXTIOXS.

CUT IN RATES TO THE COAST Predicted War Over Passenger Traffic Makes Its Appearance , CHEAP RIDING FOR THE ENDEAVORERS Itock iNlniiil ( iiicn llelow Iln Com petitor * anil MnUex n Itnte of to Those ColllK to San I'riinelHCo. i | , The long Impending war In rates to the Christian Kndeavor convention has started , nnd It has started right hero In Omaha. A lash of $2 from the rate agreed upon by roads belonging to the Western Passenger associa tion wi n rumored throughout local railway circles yesterday. The Chicago , Hock Island & Pacific Is the toad accused by the other roads of offering n rate of J20.60 Instead ot the regular rate of $22.50. The passenger departments of the Union Pacific and ot the Ilurllngton are all excite ment over the slash , and no one s-ems to know Just where the nutting will stop. Gen eral Passenger Agent La in six of the Union Pacific Is on his way to New York , but he was promptly telegraphed the news by one of his assistants , A member of that de partment when asked yesterday It the Union Pacific would also cut the rate , said : "Other roads must not lie expoctcd to stand Idly by and see the business captuwr'by a road that will break Its agreement and offer a cheap rate. But what I regard as the probable outcome Is that the cutting will bo stopped from Chicago. " General Passenger Agent Francis of the II. & M. called upon General Agent Huth- crford of the Hock Island's passenger depart ment yesterday and endeavored to reach some agreement on the matter. If the Hock Island has been offering the rate of J20.GO , oa reported , It has evidently stopped U , as no tickets to San Francisco are now being sold over the counter of the city ticket ounce at that rate. The other roads Insist that they know that the Hock Island has been offering such a rate for the past three days. The Union Pacific and the Burlington , It Is said , have allldavlts from local parties who were offered such a rate. Lnto yesterday Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger association was ad vised of the demoralization In the local pas senger ( situation , and he Is now taking such oteps as will go furthest toward nipping the rate war at the start. Many passenger men here , however , believe that now the rates have been cut other roads will take deeper slashes Into the rates of the association , and that the business will be completely demoralized before the first train ataits for the Christian Endeavor convention. IIIOXTOX STK.V.MW IXTO TOUT. to niMoliai-Ke Freight While ' MlHsom-l. Itomul for the 1'piier The workmen along the river front were considerably surprised yesterday at the appearance ot a long stern-wheel steamboat. The clerks In the Union Pacific headquarters heard the sound of a whistle entirely differ ent from that of any of the switch engines and lan to the windows to see the craft pull up alongside the Douglas street wharf. Oc cupants of the bridge-lino motor cars rubbed their eyes to make sure they were not dimmed by any Jubilee fog , and then had difficulty In convincing themselves that It was really a steamboat that they saw lying beneath them. Pedestrians on the bridge stopped leaned 'over the south railing and soon fell to eagerly discussing the possibility of a ifcvival in Omaha's merchant marine. Laborers in the smelting , works temporarily EUspended their work , nnd , after Inspecting the new arrival , tola of the times when such craft used to be so numerous hereabouts. Such was the excitement produced in the vicinity of the lower end of Douglas street yesterday morning about 9 o'clock , when the steamboat lienton hove in sight. The pilot swung the long stern-wheeler lute the Douglas street wharf and when the boat had been made fast and the gang-plank let down a lot of miscellaneous merchandise destined for tli to city was put ashore , and the steward slipped oft to get a cooling beverage. To a Dee reporter Captain J. P. Boland , who IF also the owner of the steamboat , said : "Well , I'm very glad to reach this port. We left St. Louis on June 11 , startIng - Ing with 300 tons of miscellaneous merchan dise. The largest consignment for any one point was 125 tons for Sioux City. We carried quite a little freight for Omaha , as you may see on the wharf. We brought along marchandlse for Kansas City , Leavcnworth , St. Jor. < ! ph , Boone , St. Charles , Herman , In all thirty-live points. "It has been seven years since the Benton has been this far up the river , though we have frequently run up to Kansas City. Wr Jnd the river In pretty good shape for navigation. 'Despite ' the fact that our pilots had not been over this part of the river for seven years , we have come through without a single mishap. We're going from here to Sioux City. We're about to establish a freight and passenger line between Sioux City and Chamberlain , S. D. We'io going to engage In the mountain trade , Just as we did fifteen years ago. The Benton will make ono trip a week between these two points. We'll leave Sioux City every Monday , ar riving In Chamberlain every Wednesday. We'll leave there the name day and be back at Sioux City on Saturdays. "The people at St. Joseph made us a very nice offer to stay there and do local work , but as we had made a contract with thcec parties further up the river the Benton will have to go up there. I am considering , how ever , the advisability of putting on , two boats llko this , one at Omaha and "tie at St. Jo- eeph. There's lotw of local freight we could handle. There's plenty of freight shipped from up the river that now never comes ) to Omaha. Then , too , I believe there would bo a fair amount ot excursion business. If wo decide to put on a boat here I'll let you know about It. " The Uejiton was built for what the river men call the "mountain trade , " about twenty years ago. Itf. original owneru were Powell & Baker , merchants at Foil Bcnton. It plied between Yankton and Fort Denton for ten ycaro , making occa sional trip ? to St. Louis , and every old river man from the head of navigation to the month of the .Missouri knew the boil. It was called the New ficnton , as the origi nal steamboat DcnUm was built In the early days when steamboat trade en the .Mltuoun was \ery profitable. This boat succeeded that one , . Hut the present Benton Is a veteran. It la a atern-whcel boat , 225 feet long , with a thirty-two foot beam and has smokestacks four times as largo au these on modern boats , For the la > U ten years It has been on the lower Missouri. making weekly trips between St. Louis and Itocheport , a dlftanco of 225 iiilltH. It occasionally came as far as Bponvllle. Twice since It bos been In the lower Mto- E-ourl It has sunk. The first time a ; Marthasvlllo and the second time , two yearw ago , at Lisbon. The. Benton was caught In the cyclone at St. Louis and the whole rear half of the hurrlcano deck woa cairled away. Thu owners did not have the hurrlcano deck re placed , but patched her over , and now she looks like a chicken that has lost her tall feiuhcrt. _ \vouu ux TIIF. imi'OT ninvnw.iv.

There was trouble on the lines of the po lice and fire alarm systems last Saturday night. It was all caused because a big current of electricity , such as Is used In lightIng - Ing the arc lights , was accidentally turned upon the fire alarm wires. The trouble began n few minutes before It o'clock. The arc light current started to travel upon the fire alarm wires then and when It struck some boxes It turned In fire alarm. Bight taps of the gong were given In all the engine houses. There Is no such box as No. S , and therefore the firemen were mystified when they tumbled out of their beds and did not KIIOW where to go. The matter was reported to the telephone people , who Immediately began an Investiga tion and kept It up Sunday and were at It yesterday. The result of the examination Is calculated to lay the- blame ' upon the work men at the electric light 'power house. It seems that Saturday night some machinery WES being removed from one lloor to another In the power house. To do this It was nec- cssary to shift , a circuit. Instead of run ning It on to a proper wire , however , the current was switched onto the fire alarm sys tem. The machinery of this Is not calcu lated to Htand the strain , and therefore the current played havoc. The damage was done In circuit No. 2 In the lire nnd police alarm system. This covers the southern nnd the southeastern part of the city. Two fire boxes have already been found to have been badly damage : ! . One of tl.ese Is at Fourteenth and Hartley streets. The other Is near the electric light power house. A couple of gongs In engine houses were burned out , More damage may be brought to light. The police alarm boxes on the circuit were also badly damaged by the. heavy current. When the policemen tried to turn In their reports they found that they could not connect with the central station. This , however , was remedied In n short tlmo. The electric light people were not Inclined to give out any Information about the trouble. Thn 'vorknicn at the power house soon discovered that something was wrong and shut down the machinery. The result was that the lights throughout the city wec shut off for a time. Yesterday the com pany olliclals stated that this was due to some difficulty with the machinery. The damage to the fire and alarm system will amount to several hundred dollars. The loss will have to be made good by the elec tric light people. Half Kates , Hot Sirla | 7 , S. I ) . , .Tune irr , Via the Ilurllngton Houte. $16.40 for the round trip from lOmaha.

The attendance , whlln.good , was not up > to the usual standard , although the business on hand was 'ot much interest and Importance. The matter of holding a union revival here throughout the hot months of July and August occasioned a lengthy and vigorous discussion , the consensus of Judgment being that n series ot sucli meetings was very necessary and would result In Incalculable good. The plan is to erect a huge temporary tabernacle In the open air , and engage some well known evangelist to conduct the meetings. Both Dr. Williams and Major Cole were recommended , but the matter was finally disposed of by being referred tea a committee consisting * of Hevs. Wilson , Everts and MncAyeal. Hov. F. II. Sanderson ot the Trinity Meth odist Episcopal church stated to the meet ing that the ministers of the north side had held several conferences recently with ref erence to the opening of the gates of the approaching Trassnilbsisslppl Exposition on the Sabbath day. Ho said they were a unite on the absolute 'necessity of keeping the Rates closed on the Lord's day and had been requested to solicit the sentiment , as well as" aid of the Ministerial Union In the accomplishment of the desired end. This statement launched a very ardent die ctusalon on the subject. Finally Hev. E. Mac- Dill made a motion that a committee con sisting of one representative from each de nomination.

BURGLARS ENTER A DEPOT Station at Palmyra Broken Into and a Jewelry Trunk Riflech PROPERTY BELONGED TO AN OMAHA FIRM InillfiitliiiiN ( lint tinThlrvvfl llnil I lee n KnllotvliiK tin * Trunk , for Other PiirrrlN Wore Xot MolcMtcd. Ily ono of the biggest robberies ever com mitted along the Ilurllngton railroad In ( his state the Shook-Scllncr Jewelry company ot this city li.is lost n quantity of gold watch chains , rings , scarf plim , bracelets , clasps anil silver tilnkotn aggregatliiK over $1.000 In value. Tito Jewelry was stolen from the trunk of George II. Uubccs of Aslilnml , a tilisted salesman of the Omaha company for the past three years , at I'almyra , this state , cither very lateen Sunday night or during the early hours of yetitcrday morning. The. best detectives In the western country have been oct to woik on the cnfce , and aided by the Ilurllngton Hallroad company's KleiitliB It Is expected that they will recover the lost goods. It Is evident that the robbery had been most carefully planned and that the sales man and his trunk containing jewelry had been closely watched as far as I'almyra. Mr. Dubees reached the little town In Oleo county late on Sunday evening. An he could not secure a convrypnce to take his trunk to the hotel , he allowed It to remain In check at the depot , thinking It would be safe until morning. Yesterday morning ho went down to get his tiunk the first lining after breakfast. Ho presented the check for It. but waa nearly crushed with amazement when told that the trunk had been looted during the night and most ot Us contents carried off. An Investigation showed that the robbers had forced the ildor to the baggage loom and had proceeded directly to the trunk they wanted. The trunk was a small one and contained but one troy. In this were car ried gold chains and valuable rings. Scarcely anything was left In this tray , the robbers being able to discriminate between the goods of most and those of least value. Ilcluw the tray were two telescopes , similar to those cairlcd by all traveling jewelers. Knell of these telescopes contained about a dozen trajn filled with goods of lesser value. Doth telescopes had been Inspected very thor oughly , and only such goods zs were pure gold or sterling sliver were taken. What jewelry was not taken was scattered all about the baggage room. nOUUEItS KNEW TUB TIIU.N'K. That the robbers had been watcblng the trunk and had designs on that alone Is ap parent from the fact that not another trunk or express package in the depot was mo lested. None of the tickets In the station agent's ofllce were taken , and the cash drawer was never touched. Had the rob bers taken afl the jewelry contained In the trunk , the less , according to C. Li. Shook , president of the jewelry company , would have been about $2F > 00. It Is apparent that the robbers could not take all , however , and therefore selected only what they be lieved to be of the most value. Mr. Shook estimates the loss at from $700 to ? 1,000. The first telegram of the travel ing salesman stated that the loss would be quite $1,500 , , If not greater. In company with n representative of the Uttrlingtou's auditing department G. C. Sellncr , secretary and treasurer ot the Sliook-Sellnsr Jewelry company , left yesterday afternoon foi Palmyra , They will go carefully over the Jewelry that was not taken , and from tli. ' salesman's list figure out the loss. It may not bo over $700 and It may reach $2,000. The loss , as Mr. Shook explained , depends entirely upon the quality of the goods taken. The president of the jewelry company Is very confident that the railroad company will have to make good the entire loss. He main tains that the salesman wns compelled to leave his trunk In the baggage room over night , and that the check for the trunk was ii guarantee that It would be well taken care of. Some of tfie Hurllngton olliclals are In clined to believe that the railroad company Is not entirely to blame In the matter , express- In : ; the opinion that the company should have been notified If such a valuable trunk were to bo left In the depot over night. I'almyra Is a small town , practically without police protection and Is remote from any large cities. The Hurllngton's station there Is not open all night , not even an operator being on duty there at night time. All the jewelry that was stolen Is marked with the firm's mark and can be readily Identified. People suffering from rheumatism have weak , watery bload and a worn-out , debili tated system.
