Since the cut of the Missouri Pa cific on fresh meat and packing house prod ucts from Omaha and lower Missouri rher points was announced there haa been more or less anxiety to know what the other lines would < 3o , but up to date they have not announced their purpose. There ha\e been sa\cral meetings of the freight traulc officials In St. Louis and efforts made to reach a solution , but eo far as U known hero nothing hen been accomplished. It la 'belio\cd hero that none of the Missouri Pacific's competitors will soon put in the reduced rates announced by that line. The cut has so far not had the effect of moving any great quantity of meat. It was thought at first that the reduced rates might bo the means of hastening large shipments of meat to the army at Mobile and Chlckamnuga. But a prominent freight official said to The Bee today : "The cut rates Imvo not moved much freight. They will have no cffoct of the shipment of packIng - Ing house products to the army , since It Is hardly probable thnt any of the freight of this character will bo ordered from the Omaha or Kansas City packing houses. With St. Louis and Chicago nearer at hand It will bo hard for the i > ai.klng housas on the upper Ailtwourl to bid low enough to secure the government contract lor furnishing supplies of this character. " U..U . . .a.ivr in connection with the reduc tion of rates that baa been much dlscuspcd among freight men b the fact that the rates to Kast St. Louis am made 2 cents higher than those to St. Loula. No good reason for this Is seen by some freight men. who argue that shipments made to St. Louis can bo reconslgnou there without additional ex pense. .SO\IIMHS WAVK.

The South Side Ele vated railroad , a steam line operating six teen mllca or track , which adopted the Sprague multiple unit electric system some mouths ago , haa n > ide a test of ita new sta tion by operating seven car trains at the southern terminus. Later it started ouccces- fully regular operation of a number of trains , running mixed In with its own steam trains , and with other electric trains on the down town loop. Thoajatem differs from others In operation in that the locomotive Idea Is .ibaivlonoO , each car Is equipped with motors , and what Is called the multiple unit coutrol , and tde cars are combined In trains of tny required length and run from cither selected end of any car. The whole change will bo completed In a few weeks , and only the multiple unit system will then bo In use. It Is the Inten tion of the road to run at more nearly equal and short Intervals , and to vary the train length from one to live cars , according to traffic demands. By the now system the road expects to save not less than $150,000 a year in operating orpenass , Independent of any Increswe In paesenger traffic by rcaacu of the improved service. The came sjstem has been adopted for the Initial equipment or the Brooklyn Elevated railroad. It Is thought by Its advocates to mark the abandonment of the locomotive for elc\ated and suburban service. The sjstem Is the Invention ot Frank J. Sprague , who Inaugurated ttio pioneer trol ley , at Richmond , Va. , ten years ago. AI/TOV WIlIE SIAKK Low lUATHS. I ) - lr ' to KqnnllEe the Traffic to the CHICAGO , April 23. The roads between Chicago and Kansas City which have no line Into Omaha arc troubled over the Transrals- slsslppl Exposition business to the latter city. They will not only get practically none of the business , but to make matters worse ior them , an endlcos number of excursions will be run to Omaha In order that those at tending various annual conventions will be able to take In the exposition at the same time. This will keep the Kansas City lines out ot this excursion bus'ness ' entirely. To reduce the dlsadvantago to a minimum , the Alton road has determined to make Kan- sJs City a Bummer tourist point , and tourist rates will prevail to that city from Chicago durlnc the life of the exposition. In addition to this , whenever especially low rates are made for any meeting , the Alton will meet them to Kansas City and to points be > end affected by combinations of the low rate to Omaha with local rates from that paint to all competitive polnta The Atcblson will probably take the pa mo measures In regard to Its Kansas City line.

They struck up a friendship In a very short tlmo and before the train arrived In Omaha the affable newcomer explained to Dtdl that he had not had tlmo to cash a check which he had for | 700 , and did not know how he would secure $15 and purchase a ticket to Chicago without being delayed. Dehl hesitated to loa.n him the money , so the upright stranger offered to leave his watch with Detol , In a-1- dltlon to the check , as security for the loan , which was made. The train arrived In Omaha about 4:15 and Dehl became suspicious of his new made friend In a llttlo while , and explained to the depot authori ties what had transpired. When told that he had been buncoed be denied it , and said the man was a true friend and ho was sure ho was a gentleman and would be back In a short time. The friend did not reappear , however , and Dehl Anally admitted that ho was billed , although when ho left town he was still cherishing the hope that there was some value in the watch , which was a gor geous brass affair. Dehl did not want to stop over to hunt up his friend , and was not able to describe him very well. He said the man was about five feet nine Inches In height. 35 years old , weighed probably ICO pounds , and was stoop shouldered.

Llnlngcr at Eighteenth and Davenport streets is being elaborately fitted up and extensively Improved for exposition visitors. The workmen who have been busily em ployed there for the last six weeks in paint- Ins and decorating , renovating and repair- ins have nearly finished their respective tasks. When this work Is complete one will scarcely recognize the gallery , so changed will bo Its appearance , but all the familiar pictures , and some new ones , will be seen there. The object of the extensive improvements made by Mr. Lininger is to offer an unex celled attraction for visitors to the city duri i inn the exposition. Those who recall the many elegant entertainments given by him to the visiting delegates of conventions pre viously held here wilt note with pleasure | that Mr. Lininger Is already arranging for ; similar affairs during the summer. Two re-j ceptlons have already been arranged for. j The flnt will bo early in June In honor of the visiting Homeopathic physicians. It will occur on Friday night of the week given ) | over to the doctors of the new school. Tha I second reception arranged for Is that for the Veteran Free Masons on the evening of | | Juno 15. After the opening of the exposi tion the gallery will be open every oven- Ine and a competent attendant will be In charge to look after the visitors. From now until Juno 1 the gallery will bo open on Sundays and Thursdays , all day. The great Improvement noticeable In the art gallery proper is in the matter of su perior lighting. In the celling new ground glass has been put In and through It the light comes in softened to obtain the most perfect light possible. , The celling now or- cuplcd by the crqund glass ro3f has been painted a light French gray and party colors are used in the panels.

The walls will bo appropriately painted , and will then be hung with natures that Mr. Lininger has had for some time stored away. In the large parlors the walls and ceilings have bero newly frescoed. In the library the old floor has been covered with a new hard wood floor with conven tional designs. The walls and ceilings ot the library have also been made to conform with the hard wood scheme of the roqm. Hand some mahogany cnseu have been blult In the walls of the library to accommodate the large collection of books. In the dining room the painters and decorators have alee done considerable work , but the unique frelze with Ita 4GO odd plates remains aa before , and is a marked feature ot the room.

Off n Train nnd IlaiiUlictl. ' ] After an absence ot twelve years from the city "Mickey" Shea , the notorious highway man , housebreaker and pickpocket , returned to Omaha to "do" the exposition. He came from the cast and attempted to slip out of eight the moment he alighted from the train , but about the first man he met was an offi cer , whom ho had known in bygone das a. The recognition was mutual. Shea attempted to elude the policeman , but was apprehended and tal.cn to the city jail. Shea appeared in police court and pleaded guilty to vagrancy. The officer who arrested him related the prisoner's career ot crime to Judge Gordon , and Shea had nothing to s-ay other than If the court would give to him a suspended sentence ho- would leave the city again and make it twelve more years before he returned. Judge Gordon sentenced the outcast to thirty days In the county jail , the middle ten on bread and water , sus pending the sentenca under the condition that Shea had agreed to , and the prisoner disappeared into the street. Years ago Shea was the leader of a gang ot criminals that made Omaha its head quarters and operated In the river cities and towns between St. Paul and St. Louis. Twelve years ago lie waa sent to the peniten tiary at Lincoln from this city for seven years for burglary. He served his term and then disappeared. Prior to that time ho served a term in the Minnesota state prison at Stillater for highway robbery , and also a term in the Missouri penitentiary at Jef ferson City for a burglary committed In St. Louis. After his discharge from Lincoln ho wandered all over the globe and finally drifted back to New York , where he was convicted of burglary and sent to Sing Sing. His term In that prison was two jcars , and when he was discharged he came west by easy stages. \VII.ICI\M VS riuii'r KOII Olijfctn to IlelnK Si-nt Hank to ID mi IloNpltnl for IIINIIIIC. J. W.

Ho was located In a room at the corner of Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue , where he has been stopping since his arrival In Omaha. T2.3 arrest was made on the warrant sent to Chief Gallagher from the sheriff of Polk county. Iowa , and unless something occurs to the contrary , the prisoner will be held for the Iowa authorities. He claims to bo per fectly rational , attributing his trouble to the po.reecutlona of his wife and other relatives for the control of valuable Inventions. On complaint of his wife hn was sent to the insane asylum from Dca Molnes about a year ago. He came to Omaha because a sister , who Is Interested in his case , Mrs. G. E. Young , resides hero. She was notified of his arrest and took Immediate steps to prevent h's return to the Iowa asylum If possible. Application was made to Dr. Tllden , sec retary of the county Insanity board , for an Investigation Into the case , which was granted. Upon the result ot this hearing will depend Wilkinson's future. If the officials hero declare that the. man Is not insane habeas corpus proceedings will bo Instituted in the district court to obtain his liberty ; If ho Is declared to be of unsound mind he will bo returned to the Iowa Institution , whence ho escaped. _ ( Act examination of Wllklraon'e case was made yesterday afternoon first by City Phy sician Spaldlng and later In conmltatlou with Dr. Tlldcn.

The weok'a mar kets have endured the strain of the adoption by congress of the resolutions for Interven tion in Cuba , the consequent severance ot diplomatic relations and the actual blcckade of Havana by the United States navy. The prices showed strong resisting power through the early part of the week , on account of the belief In Wall street that Spain would yield at the eleventh hour under the otrong pressure by the pope. Largo liquidation of the foreign holdings of American securities Induced by the panic in Spanish fours , as much as anything else , were well absorbed on the local exchange. Even the dismissal of our minister , General Woodford , which web tantamount to a declaration of war , seemed to leave local operators atlll confi dent that a war would be averted. But early rumors on Thursday of orders that wore actually Issuing for a blockade of Havana dissipated confidence , and the bears Joined vigorously in the selling , breaking prices from one to four points. Next morning buyIng - Ing orders ou the market for London account drove the bears to cover , and there were sharp rallies. Prices are one to three points lower on the week. There are many of the most prominent stocks which have not reached the low point , touched after the destruction of the Maine , and bcfoio the presentation ot the report ot the board of Inquiry. WAR SITIMTIOX AFKUCTS WHEAT. llluher Ocean KrelKht Teiidn to Keep the I'rlcr iiomi , CHICAGO , April 23. Wheat has been nervous during the last week , but at the close Friday July option showed an advance of 394 cents , while May gained G'/i cents. War prospects , which culminated on Fri day , largely controlled values. Speculators held widely diverging opinions as to the ulti mate effect of war upon grain values lu the Unltod States. Liverpool quotations ad vanced steadily , and enormous quantities were sold for direct export , cable offerings being accepted with avidity. But when ocean freight rates took a sudden jump on Friday , the bears flooded the pit with offerings. Their theory Is that with advancing oiean rates and higher prices at Liverpool prices on this side must seek a lower level at the present time , or at least until the question of privateering has been settled. July , which scld a1 week ago at S4 % cents , touched 90 cents at the opening on Friday ; but after n short period of steadiness dropped to liS'/i cents and closes ! one-eighth oi i cent from the Lottom. i'avorablo crop news and sea sonable weather generally had considerable Influence en distant options. May wheat did not feel the effects of these considerations , and closed the week at an advance of 5',4 cents. Higher prices at the northwest and steady acceptance of all the cash wheat offered abroad Influenced the near month entirely. Til 13 TWO .SCHOOLS.
