dome will bo seventy-five feet In height
when completed and will be handsn'uicl }

I'liMv of tlu > Arti-nlnii Well HviiinliiN
About the ' nine.
A semi-subterranean retreat has been con
structed about the upper end of the pipe
which rises out of the artesian well at the
exposition grounds. This forms a room
nbout ten feet square , the root ot which
Is level with the ground outside. The water
has two outlets one at what will be the
water level when the lagoon Is completed
nnd filled , and the other about the feet
ubovo that point. When the ulr lift is not
In operation , the water flows out of the lower
pipe , but when the pressure Is turned on
thu water Uses Itii the pipe and flows out of
both outlets. A small faucet has been let
Into the main pipe jnd visitors may draw
water In their Jugs or In lineups , which Is
furnished by some phllonthroplst.
The water from the well now flows Into the
lagoon. A box has been arranged beneath
the pipe so that ihe water will not wash
away the bottom of the lagorn and the crjs-
tal fluid flows In every direction. With only
the natural pressure , the flow Is about thir
ty-five gallons per minute , but when the
air lift Is In operation the flow Is Increased
to about 130 gallons. The pipe of the air
lift has been extended further down the well
and Is now about 190 feat below the surface
of the ground. At this depth a pressure of
eighty-five pounds of air Is required to lift
thu water.

The committee on teachers and examina
tions of the Board of Education held a ses
sion with Superintendent Pcarse Monday
on the question of giantlng pe'mlts to pupils
to attend schools other than the one In
whose boundaries they resided. The superin
tendent has favored shutting off these per
mits for six weeks in order that for once
all the pupils might be lorced Into the schools
in which they belonged. He contended that It
till' was once accomplished the beard could
te-idjust the boundaries intelligently and do
away with the present obnoxious system of
) o mils. The Idea was at f.rst endorsed b >
the board , but since then there has been
iuch a vlgoious protest from patrons of the
schools that the action was rescinded The
action of the committee Monday was In
accordance with the later action and it was
deolded that the permits should bo Issued for
the present. The result of the.qgntroversj
lias been to make It evident that the present
boutidailcs of the schools are far from satis
factory and the question of making a thor
ough adjustment , based on the returns t'om
the labl school census will probably be taken
up at the next meeting of the boaid.

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS
Is tv beautiful possession. If a woman owns
one , mill if a single pearl drops off the string1 ,
she makes haste to flml.aml restore it.
Good health is a more valuable possession
than a necklace of the most beautiful pearls ,
yet Olio Dy one the jewels of health slip aay ,
and women seem indifferent until it is almost
too lute , and they cannot bo restored.
To die before you are really pld is to suffer
premature death , and that is a sin. It is a sin
because it is the result of repeated violations
of nature's laws.
Pain , lassitude and weariness , inability to
sleep , dreadful dreams , starting violently from
deep , nrp all symptoms of nerve trouble.
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health. In ninety-nine cases out of a.
hundred the womb , the ovaries and the bladder
uro affected. They are not vital organs , hence
they give out soonest.

The cancellation of Union Pacific freight
and passenger tariffs to Portland and all
other points on the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation company's lines was the principal
subject of discussion In railway circles
especially passenger circles , jcstcrday.
The Bee's announcement of the break was
confirmed jesterday by the appeal ance of
a Union Pacific circular , signed by E. Dick
inson. general manager , and E. L Lomax
general rassenge- and ticket agent , announc
ing the cancellation of all passenger rates
to points on the O'egon Railway & Naviga
tion company's lines on September 23.
The following extracts from the circular
which has Just been sent out to all agent. ,
of the Union Pacific and to all connecting
lines and which has also been filed with the
Intel state Commenre commission , give tUp
loinort of the whole matter :
Effeitlve September 23 , 18 7 , through rates ,
both one way and round trip , via the Unltm
Pacific svstem to point" ? on and via the
Oregon Hallway & Navigation company
hou ! < l be mude by addition of the rate's n
Iluntlngton , Ore , to the rates of like cl.ifcs
from Iluntlngton.
Our connections are earnestly icquested
to construct their rates on Insls outline. !
herein , as iwe will not participate In pro-
pjitlons of the present through rates on
and nftei the date named.
Asked If the cancellation of through
rates to Portland , via the Oregon Short Lint
and the Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany , would mean the withdrawal ot the
through sleeping cjrs now run fiom this city
to Portland via these lines. Union P-
clflc pfDcials In this city shake their heads
and say that the ins tier has not been full }
decided. General Manager Dickinson and
the heads of the traffic , departments are
away nt present , and their views cannot be
learned.
Other railroad men Insist that the cancel
lation of the tariffs In question will cer
tainly mean that the Union Pacific will
abandon Its slcepeis to Portland via the
Oreffon Railway & Navigation company and
send all Us business via the "Shasta
Route " This opinion seems to be a moat
probable happening , as the Union Pacific
can sell tickets from here to Portland via
Sacramento for $50 , w.hereas the cost o !
tickets via the Union Pacific , the Oregon
Short Line and the Oiegon Hallway & Navi
gation company would amount to $63.fiO , a
difference of $13,60 This Increased tariff is
figuied out by adding to the Urion Plrllle
rate from hero to Huntlngton , Ore. , the sum
of the local rate to Portland , On set end
class business the regular rate IK X40 from
here to Portland , but the cancellation of the
tailffs in question will make It rest n SPO
end clash pansengnr $53 60 to ride to Port
land over what was once entirely Union Pa-
elfin pioperty It Is therefore believed that
the Union Pacific will go vH the " li p'a
Route" to Poitland altogether abandoning
the route thiough Idaho and Oregon.

General Passenger Agent Heafford of the
Milwaukee Is not overlooking any opportuni
ties to boom the rr > contly opened "Midland
Route" from Chicago to Colorado and Cali
fornia points He has sent out a circular
announcing the pa > ment of a commission of
$ f > to ticket agents of connecting lines when
the ) sell their first through ticket over the
"Midland route ' The tickets must be sold
to Coloiado before October 1 and to Call-
fornla before November 1 This action has
brought forth much denunciation from other
lines whoso passenger officials intimate that
pajmcnt of such large commissions may be
continued after an agent has sold his first
ticket over the now combination of western
roads The Incident serves to show how far
the Milwaukee Is willing to go to boom a
good thing.
U Is recalled that the Milwaukee paid $10
to every agent when ho sold his first ticket
over the line from Chicago to Omaha , when
the latter wag opened. Thd object , of course ,
Is to secure a good amount of travel at the
start. Representatives of the Rock Island
and tlu < Milwaukee uteect that since the
opening of their now route to the \\est \ on
Sunday their cars have- been well filled
General Passenger Agent Heafford of the Mil
waukee has Just decided to place lunch cars
on trains 2 and 3 , along with the other
changes on the line. The cars will be run
from Marion to Perry. Breakfast will be
sur\cd on No , 3 and supper on No. 2.

CHICAGO , Sept. 14. At the meeting ot
the Western Passenger association today the
question of equalizing the Omaha rates to
Chicago with the $7 rate from Kansas City
which all the roads made jesterday was
taken up. Some of the roads made a strong
light against the proposed action , saying
that If the rates wcro reduced fiom Omahn
to Chicago It would mean that local rates
all through the state ot Iowa would comedown
down and there would be no telling where
the trouble would end. The mcottim broke
up without any decision being reached and
without any action being taken , but It Is
practically certain that the Omaha rates will
In the near future be reduced to $ i to equal
the rate from Kansas City and If this Is
done the rates will bo extended to Inc'ude
Des Molncs , Sioux City , Lcavcnworth and
St. Joseph and very likely olhcr points.
Ono of the most conservative passenger
agents of the western roads said after the
meeting that he considered the reduction
to be a certainty unless a general meeting'
of the western roads could be called In the
meantime and step In to prevent demoraliza
tion. The chances are , however , that the
rates will tumble before the meeting can bo
called.

KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Sept. 14. A now west
ern record In fast time was made on the Mis
souri Pacific road this morning , when a new
engine , Just from the road's own shops , made
the remarkable speed of sixty-eight mil's
an hour between hero and Sedalla. The
speed was only kept up for a short while , but
It showed what the new locomotive could do.
Considering grades and curves , the perform
ance was even more wonderful. It was the
trial trip ot the locomotive , which was built
In the Missouri Pacific shops at St. Louis
after the pattern of the celebrated Empire
express engine. No. 993 , of the New York
Central road , which broke the world's long

L J. Nelson has been appointed operator
of the Milwaukee's local office to succeed
Eugene Duval , who will become contracting
freight agent on October 1. The new at
tache ot the Milwaukee has hitherto been
connected with the Merchants' Despatch
Transportation company.
The Pennsylvania railroad has just an-
.nounced that it will soon put Into service a
lot of freight cars of the capacity of 100,00
pounds each. The betterment of roadbeds
and the strengthening of car wheels Is re
sponsible for the enormous Increase In the
burden now placed in a freight car. When
the capacity of freight cars was increased
by a number of lines from 30000 to 40,000
pounds a lot of people thought the limit
had been reached.

Coroner Durkcl Is 6otnc\\lmt disappointed
that ! ho was cheated out of a case , but Wll *
Ham liojer , n hired man on the ( arm of An
drew C. Kuray , near Mlllard , considers that
ho did his best to satisfy the coroner and
thinks that the latter ought to blame the
meddlesome perronslio Interfered \\ltli his
two efforts to transform h'ls body Into a
corpse. For lloyer buns himself up twice
'With ' the avowed aim and object of ridding
himself of the world , but each time he was
cut down.
lo ) > cr has been working on the Furay
farm. Not many stones throw away from
this farm dwells a maiden upon whom Uojcr
has showered the wealth ot his mtcctlon. It
was all on account of this bit of feminine
beauty that lloyer hung himself up In his
employer's barn anil thought of the tlmo
when she would gaze upon his cold corpse
and feel sorry for all tier cruelty towaid
him. Kor the little maiden was heartless to
her entranced lo\er. One night , not long
ago , they wcro both In attendance at a social
function. When the affair was over Uo > er
offered to escort her home , but bocaunn of
some caprice , or because she wauled someone
ono else to accompany her , the fair ono
scornfully refused the offer. Then Uoyer
said that ho would go and hang himself. And
ho did so. At 7 o'clock In the morning he
was found , hanging from ono of the rafters
In the barn , but he was still very much
nll\o when Mr. Pitray cut him down. He did
not do the Job right , for he twisted the ropu
under his nrm as well at , around his nock
and this method was not successful In shut
ting oft his wind.
T1UCS AGAIN , BUT KAILS.
Not In the least whit diunted on accounl
ot his failure , Hojer went at It agiin am ;
ten minutes pftcr he wus cut down Mr.
Kiray found him hanging again. This time
the rope was fixed all right around his neck
and , although his feet touched the ground
Uojur's bodj seemed to be suspended wllh
all Its weight from the upe. Mr. Furay cul
the rope again and the bsdy of Io > cr fell
with a dull thud on the floor. Mr. Kurn >
thought that It was all over this time , a *
Holer's body seemed to Da absolutely life
less , Purav at once thought of the dead
man's relathes , who llvo In this city , am :
he thcrcf-ic straightway wen * to Mlllard ani
the telephone station and sent \\onl to tin ,
Uover famllj , announcing the death ot their
promising scion. TUen Mr Furo > went back
to his home to await the arrival of the sorrowing
rowing folks and of the coroner
When he got back to his house
however , he was surprised am
nearly struck dumb by seeing lloyer or his
( 'host walking about the premises as big as
life Furay got a gun to be ready If the
apparition was a spook and approached It
When he got near Ilojer spoke up , said tint
It was himself and ioiled a c garctte
It appears that very shortly after Mr.
Furay went to deliver his message Uojer re
vived and felt none the worse for his ex
perience. A man was sent hun-ieJly back to
Mlllard to telephone again to the relatives
of the supposed dead man In order to Inforn
them that Boyer was alive once more
Coroner Burkct was Just getting ready to
haul Boyci's body to this city when he got
the message that there was no need for his
services.
These are people In Mlllard unkind enough
to say that Boyer never Intended to commit
suicide , but that the whole thing was a bluff
on the girl. They believe that Bojer simply
pretended to be dead the second time.

The State Fair
Will be held nt Omaha during the week of Supt , 17 to
24. We simply mention the date so that people who
want to know ( and there arc a great many of them ) can
find out. If we were running the State Fair we would
try and find some way by which all of the people would
know what we were doing and when we were going to do
it. If we had any races we would let the people know
just what kind of races they were , what stakes we were
giving , and just what horses were going to nice. If we
were renting out space and subletting privileges we would
try and help the people who paid for our space or our
privileges to get their money's worth by running
a little ad in the daily papers that people most
read. We wouldn't do tilings in the dark. We wouldn't
hide our light under a bushel if we had any light worth
showing up. We belie\c in letting the reop'c know what
you have and that's why in our big Doug as street win
dow today we have samples of all the new Fall Suits
which we carry inside the store. We want people to
know. We want people to see what we are doing and to
think it over and so we put plain prices on every single
suit and call people's attention through the newspapers to
the fact that the suits are there to see. That's why
we sell so many suits. We show up what we have and
let what we have do the rest.
