Western Passenger Association Meeting is
Again Deferred ,
CHAIRMAN CALDWELL ANNOUNCES DELAY
Merlin * Will JSnt He Held Tleforc the
did of Next Week , Owing to
the Opposition of the
Alton.
There will bo a meotlnR of the Western
Passenger association In Chicago on
Thursday of next week. This Is the earliest
data which the Omaha lines have been nblo
to get Chairman Caldwcll of the association
to name. It Indicates that another week
will bo allowed to pass by without action by
the association on the matter of reduced
rates to Omaha during the remainder of the
exposition.
The general passenger agents of Omaha
have kept the wires between hero and Chicago
cage very warm slnco the first of the week
In an effort to get a prompt meeting for the
purpose of taking final action regarding
reasonable exposition rates. The Omaha
men tried hard to get a meeting this week ,
but Chairman Caldwcll did not encourage
this idea to any great extent. One reason
ho offered for the delay Is that one of the
lines cannot bo represented at any meeting
this week because outof Us officers Is In the
east.
east.This
This delay suits the Alton and other lines
that oppose granting lower rates to Omaha
very well. A3 ono of the local general
passenger agents says : "Theirs Is a waitIng -
Ing game. They have everything to gain
and nothing to lese through the postpone
ment of final action on exposition rates. "
Another passenger man bays : "It makes me
tired. When the association meeting In
Chicago last week broke up It was under
stood that wo would have a meeting the
first of this week to settle things , and now
It looks ns though It will bo the latter
part of next week before the lines get to
gether. "
Indignant at the delay of the association
the thrco general passenger agents of
Omaha had decided to take Individual action
toward lower rates , when the Inopportune
publication of an nrtlclo In a local paper
making an arrogant assault on the passenger
men balked the game. There was a meeting
nt Elkhorn headquarters on Tuesday , at
tended by General Passenger Agents
Francis of the I ) . & M. , Buchanan of the
Elkhorn and Chief Clerk Murray of the
Union Pacific.
After the meeting ono of these gentlemen
uald : "Individual action would undoubtedly
have been taken at the meeting had It not
been for ono thing. Things looked very
much like n decision to announce lower rates
individually , when some ono came In and
called our attention to the attack on us In
a , local paper , and the threat to force lower
rates within five days. None of us had soon
the article , as wo do not read the paper , but
when this inan commenced to 'Josh' us
about It we decided that wo wouldn't give
the paper attacking us any chance to crow
over us and cry out : 'See what wo did. '
So no Individual action was taken , and I do
not know ns' thcro will be now. "

iliilKf In 11 Little Hide How.
A man walked Into a local ticket office
yesterday afternoon and said : "Give mo a
ticket to St. Joseph. " Ho laid down $1
and expected to get G cents In change. In
stead the ticket agent said : "I can sell
you a round trip ticket good for five days
for $1.75 , " and the surprised commercial
traveler nearly dropped to the floor. Ho
remarked that he had been traveling ten
years , but never had the good fortune to
etrlko a cut rate before.
There Is n merry llttlo fight for St. Joseph
business from Omaha and for Omaha travel
from St. Joseph now on between the Burling
ton and the Missouri Pacific roads. The
ordinary ono way faro Is $3.95 , but on ac
count of the fight the round trip tlcknts
arc on sale for $1.75. Up until recently the
Burlington has had the field on this busi
ness to Itself , but recently the Missouri Pa
cific effected a combination with the St.
Joseph & Grand Island from Hiawatha , Kan , ,
to St. Joseph , Mo. , allowing through trains
to be run between Omaha and St. Joseph
over thcso two lines. The fight really com
menced last Saturday when the St. Joseph
excursions were run to the exposition and
has continued with considerable sharpness
slnco then. The passenger men of each line
in this city said yesterday they had no Idea
how long the reduced rate would remain In
effect.
HATE CUTTING TO

KniiailN City Ilnti-x.
ST. LOUIS , Aug. 17. The cutting of
freight , rates to the eastern seaboard Is still
going on. The lines running out of East St.
Louis are promptly meeting all cuts made
by way of Kansas City and Chicago , and a
quiet war Is being waged.
A short tlrno ago ono road made a Ifi-cont
rate on 3,000 sacks of flour from East St.
Louis to Now York and today accnta for
some of the lines were offering to make a
rate of 14 cents on flour and craln from
East St. Louis to New York , sorao ship
ments bclnz booked nt that rate. This is
do no on the quiet , and only a few of the
heavy shippers are getting the benefit of the
cut.
cut.As
As a result the smaller shippers and out
siders nro belnc shut out of the eastern
and export markets.
Shippers say the rate cutting is demora
lizing business and Is not only a violation
of the fofleral. but also of the state laws and
the offenders will be brought before the
Illinois State Board of Railroad and Ware
house Commissioners.

The foreclosure sale of the Kcnrncy &
niack Hills railway took place at Kearney ,
< cb. , yesterday morning nt 11 o'clock. The
C5.4 miles of railroad nnd the property along
the line belonging to the company , as well
ns what llttlo equipment It possesses , waa
mrclinscd by the Union Paclflo railroad
company for $150,000.
The sale was conducted by Colonel Alex
ander , appointed special master to conduct
lie sale by the federal court. At the ap
pointed hour ho called for bids and received
ho ono that secured the property. It was
offciod by W. D. Cornish , first vice president
of the Union Pacific railroad , and Law
rence Orccr of New York , an attorney of the
Jnlon Pacific reorganization committee. It
vas a singular coincidence that this
occasion made the auctioneer of the Union
: 'actflc main line last November the suc
cessful bidder at the sale of thu flrst branch
Inc.
Inc.No
No other bid was offered nnd none was ex
pected. After vainly calling for other bld-
lers Colonel Alexander waited a few ruln-
itcs and then declared the property sold ,
rho line purchased Is a branch of the Union
'nclflc main line , C9nnoctlng with the latter
at Kearney , Neb. It runs in a northwest
erly direction to Callnway , Neb. It was
ormcrly a branch of the Union Pacific , but
luring the last four years has enjoyed a
separate receivership. It will now bo op-
crated as a branch line of the Union Pacific
again. Such It has always been in fact ,
hough not in name.
The buyers and sellers returned from the
sale to Omaha yesterday afternoon In n
irlvato car of the Union Pacific attached
o the castbouml "Overland Limited" train.

Council' * Slmrpoc in President
Hurt Kxultcn Comment.
The action of the city council calling the
nttcntlpn of President I3urt of the Union
[ 'aclflc to his unfulfilled obligations concerning -
corning the building of a passenger station
, n this city was the principal subject of
llscusslon In railway circles during the day.
The absence of the president , who Is making
a trip through the west , nnd the fact that
General Manager Dickinson Is also away
make It impossible to secu.ro any statement
from the railroad company as to what
answer will bo made to the council's de
mands.
The passage of the resolutions is not a
surprise to local railroaders. Some such
action hns been anticipated ever since the
expiration of the sixty days on Juno 1 ,
when work was to have been begun. It Is
uiown that plans for a union station were
irepared , but negotiations between the
Burlington and some of the companies that
are tenants of the Union Pacific looking to
ward occupation of the Burlington's new
station Is said to have interrupted the
movement for a union station. Railroad men
generally do not bellovo that the Union
'nclflc will enter the Burlington station , but
they profess the belief that President Burt
of the Union Pacific is having some dlf-
llculty In keeping some of the other lines
from doing BO.

ST. LOUIS , Aug. 17. The Missouri rail

expect the companys should pay for the

them , but declare that since tbo tariff ot
the different companies has not been In
creased the board has no authority to act
In the matter. The case decided was the
complaint of Commissioner Vanlandingbam
of the St. Louts Traffic Bureau against ex
press companies.

for the arrtst of a "suro thing" grafter
known ns "Wlillo the Stcerer , " on the
charge of obtaining money under false pre
tenses. The "piker , " who calls himself James
Robinson , tells the story of the affair thus :
"Well , ycr see , It wuz dls way : DIs guy
Willie's friends steers me up against him
an1 tells roe he's a good thing. He's thcro
with a flash roll in his pocket , but I didn't
know It , an fixed to get it , see ? I was told
by do guy's friends that all I had to do tor
get the roll is to show him a good time ,
get him bug-house with booze and take it.
Well , mo and mo lady took that guy to
supper , poured Into him all the liquor ho
could hold ; we drive him about town In a

that the guy's friends worked me fur a good

The city council has taken stops prelimi
nary to a material revision of the system
now In vogue In the matter of paying the
foes of appraisers appointed to assess beno-
Ills nnd damages ncrulng from the paving ,
grading or opening of streets and boule
vards. A new ordinance Just Introduced
fixes the fees of the appraisers. A resolu
tion passed will Include all costs of ap
praisement In the cost of the Improvements.
Thuse actions will materially change the
plan In vogue. Now appraisers put In bills
for fees In sums which they believe they
nro entitled to , and threats of lawsuits force
the council to approve amounts which they
consider too high , but which they must pay
because no contract Is entered Into. Then ,
too , all the costs of appraisement nro being
paid out of the city funds and they aggre
gate a considerable sum.
The matter was brought to a head
at a recent meeting of the coun
cil , when the appraisers who were
appointed to determine the value of
the land to be condemned for the Southwest
boulevard put In n bill for scveial hundred
dollars. The amount staggered the council
nnd the body ordered the city attorney to
draw up nn ordinance fixing appraisers' fees.
This ordinance was Introduced nt the last
meeting of the council.
According to the proposed new law , the
following fccale of fees Is fixed : To tht >
chairman of the board for special services
in preparing notices and other similar work ,
$3 ; to each member of the board for services
at the meeting of organization when the tlmo
for hearing property owners Is set , $2 ; to
each member for services at the hearing , $2 ;
for additional services that are absolutely
necessary in viewing the property and de
termining damages , $2 a day. According
to this ordinance the minimum amount to
make an appraisement will bo ? 17 , which will
bo increased nt the rate of $ G a day as long
ns the board Is required to personally view
the property.
President Blngham Introduced the resolu
tion which directed that costs of appraise
ment and of publication shall be Included
in the levy for the improvements. This
resolution was passed. The council acted on
the theory that these costs should be made
a part of the costs of the improvement ns
much as anything else connected therewith.
Tiekpt llrokerx' Ordinance.
The ticket brokers' ordinance that has
been Introduced In the city council simply
repeals the fwo ordinances that were
previously passed. One of these , which
provided a fee of $75 , was declared un
constitutional by Judge Scott because the
fee was excessive ; the other fixing the fee
nt ? 23 Is In force , but Is Ineffective because
Judge Scott hns issued nn Injunction to
restrain the city from putting Its provisions
in force.
"While Judco Srott has not de
clared the last ordinance illegal , it
looks as if he intended to dose
so , " declared n city official. "When
the temporary restraining order was Issued
the hearing was fixed for a day In the early
part of September a month nnd more from
the date the restraining order was Issued.
That looks very much us If It Is not the
intention of the court to allow the ordinance
to stand. Therefore , it has been repealed.
It Is not likely that any other ordinance
will be Introduced. "
Courts at Kansas City and nt Cincinnati
a few days ago declared that almost exactly
similar ordinances are constitutional.

It , isn't often you sco The Nebraska advertising

it without going a long ways from the truth. Here's
a time , however , when it is not only true but more * > .
than true. White shirts at half and a tiling of what
they sell for regularly just because they happen to
have been used for samples at a shirt display in New
York. Amongst the lot are shirts made from finest
cambric with embroidered bosoms calculated to sell
for two dollars apiece. Some with pleated bosoms
worth a dollar and a half. Some made from import
ed linens all through , worth a dollar and a quarter ,
and some that were put on exhibition as the best dollar
lar shirts made. There are shirts with long bosoms ,
medium bosoms , short bosoms , shirts with plain bosoms
ems and embroidered bosoms , shirts with open backs ,
with open fronts , with open back and front , and
shirts cut all the way down in front and with but
tons and button holes just like a coat. This is the
finest line of white ehirts samples that ever came
west and you can have your choice of these while
they last at fifty cents apiece.
