GOOD OBJECT LESSON FOR RAILROADS Attendance nt the KxiionHlon from KartfmeNlrrn Mlnimnrl linn Ileeii n nor in on Incrrnncil lijr " ' " Chcnii Karen Now OfTcrcil. The cut In railroad rates between St. Joseph , Mo. , anil Omaha from J3.'J5 for ono way to fl.75 for the round trip Is having a good effect on the exposition attendance from the northwestern section of Missouri , The Uurllngton brought In a special train of nlnu cars , carrying between COO and GOO people from St. Joseph and vicinity , at 4 n. m. yesterday. They left home at midnight. These excursionists probably got the earliest start for a day at the exposition of any visitors or homo i'olks yet. They were at the exposition gates as soon as the ticket sellers. In addition to this special train the reg ular trains of the Missouri I'aclflc and of the Burlington arc doing twice as heavy a busi ness between bora and St. Joseph , In both directions , as ever before In the history of the roads , The Missouri Pacific officials are congratulating themselves on their foresight In making a deal for through train service with the St. Joseph & Grand Island road. And the Uurllngton people arc glad that they put on their "Kxposltlcn Flyer" be tween hero and St. Joseph , as It has already proved to be a good revenue earner. The St. Joseph folks who spent last Satur day here celebrating St. Joe day have de veloped Into splendid advertisers of the ex position , and now their friends and relatives are coming up to see the big show In nu merous parties. Many of those who were hero last week have taken advantage of the cheap rate to pay the exposition a second Visit. As It Is not known how long the reduced rate will bo In effect the St. Joe people are not delaying their trips hero. Their tickets are good for flvo days , so they all have a reasonable length of tlmo In which to sec the exposition.Most of them who corao up on special excursions return on the regular trains. As they return nt different times the return traffic Is very well distributed among the regular trains. The local passenger men of both the fight ing lines also report that a number of visi tors from other sections of the country are making use of the cut rate to visit Mis souri. EncmirrtKCN the Odium. The success of the rate between Omaha and St. Joseph has convinced the Omaha passenger men that largo crowds of people throughout the west can bo moved to the exposition If only low rates nro announced now and not held back until the latter days of the show. In speaking of the rate situation a well known Omaha railroader , who has worked hard for lower rates , says : "It must be admitted that the Western Pas senger association has 'balled1 the rates to the exposition. The rates to the World's fair were 'balled' and the tangle wasn't straightened out until near the close and things have not been any better with our exposition. Caldwcll has succeeded In convincing most of the lines that their In terests can bo protected only by united ac tion. That is true to a certain extent , but on this occasion It has been worked to nn absurd degree. What some of the -lines , backed up by Caldwell , are trying to do Is to hold off low rates to the exposition until September 1. This Is not fair , although such delay might help the summer tourist busi ness for all western lines. Dut the people ore ready to move now and would move If low rates were offered. The exposition authorities asked for the low rates to become effective on August 20 and that was a very reasonable tlmo. The rates should have gone in then. I do not believe It would have done any good to put them In earlier , as the people would not come In the early part of the summer. Dut they will como now , as the success of the last few reduced rate occasions have shown. If the Western Passenger association has Its way the big crowds will bo held back until the last and then poured into Omaha so fast that the city couldn't take care of them. The earlier the low rates go In the more evenly distributed the crowds will be. But Mr. Caldwell can't hold back the rates much longer , for If something pretty liberal is not decided on next week I know of several lines that will put In a wonderfully low line of rates on their own accord. " VlHltur * to tlic I'lilliium Rtlillilt. Curing the early part of the exposition the representatives of the railroad companies having exhibits In the Transportation bulld- inr .regretted the fact that their display was so- far removed from the rest of the show and complained that comparatively few people got to see their displays. Since the opening of the Indian congress at the north end nf the grounds , the attendance at the Transportation building has noticeably In creased and all the railroad exhibits are numerously Inspected. A record Is kept by the Pullman Palace Car company of the number of visitors that \MS \ through their exhibit train every day. The dally attend ance now averages 3,000 and some days runs up to over 4,000. At the start the daily attendance averaged about COO. Hate for Greek Letter Day. The railroads have agreed to make a rate of 1 cent from Lincoln to Omaha on August 31 , the occasion being a reunion of Greek Letter Fraternity men at the exposition. The rate amounts to $1.10 for the round trip from Lincoln. It Is expected that the largest delegation of fraternity men will come from the state capital. Ilohcmlnn liar Outlook. "The reports that are coming in from our station agents Indicate that thcro will be a big crowd here to celebrate Bohemian day , on Saturday , August 27 , " says Assistant General Passenger Agent Munn of the Elkhorn - horn road.

Five I.nlmrrrn Coimlilprntiljr Ilrtilnril nn HIP IlvNtiU. Five laborers more or less seriously hurt and a handcar smashed Into smithereens Is the result of tx collision between n big loco motive of the Union Pacific , drawing n heavy freight train , and a handcar , near Kearney , Neb. , shortly before midnight on Wednesday. The Injured nro the following , nil labor ers of the Union I'aclflc : N , UlaM , face and neck badly bruised. Peter John , cut under the chin. Walt Mlrro , sprlnod wrist. Frank Llmpget , sprained ankle. M. Dalley , Injured hip. Thcro were eight laborers on the handcar , and three of them escaped without Injury. The men nro employed In the pang that Is rebuilding the track and roadbed west of Kearney. They'wcre returning to their camp from Kearney , where they had spent the evening. They were pushing along the handcar pretty briskly , and had reached the bridge about three miles west of the town when freight train No. 18 hove In sight. The handcar was going west , and the freight train was coming east. Before the engineer oud stop his heavy train , or the laborers ould get out of the way , the cowcatcher truck the handcar and lifted It off the rack. That the men escaped so lightly Is egardcd as miraculous. Work of tlu Mull Service. P. M. Coates , chief clerk In the railway mall service on the Burlington system , has con Inspecting the runs In Illinois and owa. The routes have been handlingnn normous quantity of mall and have been mod and equipped to a high state of per- ectlon. The annual report of the business handled i the Sixth division , to which the Burllng- on belongs , have been completed and show hat more than 1,500,000,000 pieces of mall matter were handled lost year. This showy n Increase over the preceding year of 5,000,000 pieces. Letters to the number of 00,000,000 were thrown In. This was accotn- llshcd with on average of one error In ilC4 pieces. In examinations the clerks made an avcr- , go of 9G.8S per cent correct distribution. In making the examinations , 3,510,314 cards cro handled. The per cent this year is a 'ractlon ' less than It was last year , but there fas a heavy increase in the number of ards which , taken In consideration , makes j better showing than was that of last year , j Thcro are two postal lines fewer than were -peratcd - last year , but thcro is an increase if twenty-four crew * More than 23,000,000 I miles were made , wnlch Is an Increase of' ,000,000 over last year. There were clghty- ilght appointments made to the service and .welvo clerks resigned their places to fight ho Spaniards. Besides handling all of this business , the malls on nil the trains on lines west of the illsfcourl were weighed and the compensa- lon of the railroads was adjusted for the ext four years.

FATHER TO HAVE THE CHILD Judge Blabnugh Makes an Order in the Ely Habeas Oorpna Oase. , OUTCOME OF AN ELOPEMENT FROM TEXAS llimlinnil Follow * the Wife to Omnlin nnd Kind * Her and llrr Para- US on r Employed on the At last a reconciliation between husband and wife resulted from the habeas corpus case In which H. Osborno Ely of Dallas , Tex , , seeks to recover possession of his daughter , Murl , from her mother , who was arrested at the Midway In company with her paramour. Mrs. Ely was posing as an Idol of art In one of the attractions and the man for whom she had forsaken her home Is connected with another , Ely fol lowed the pair to Omaha and secured their arrest. His wife refused to rellqulsh con trol of the daughter , and the father brought the habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Slabaugh. At the hearing yesterday Ely agreed to forglvn and forget If his wife would go back to Texas with him. Mrs. Ely demurred. The court awarded the custody of the child to the father. This order was not to the little girl's liking and she wept bitterly as the result of being taken from her mother. Ely has not for n score of years been very fortunate In his worldly affairs , being what Is called a lay preacher , andaconfinlng his evangelical work to that unfortunate class of persons who manage to get into Jails. In Dallas , where ho has in ado hla homo for a great many years since leaving New Orleans , ho was employed part of the time for a number of years by an express company nt from $50 to $75 per month. Ho has the promise of a $65 per month po sition upon his return to Dallas. Ho ad mits he Is hero without any money to speak of and will have to depend on friendly as sistance to take him and his child back to Dallas. The little girl , Murl , was not willing- to go back with her father at all and cried bitterly after Judge Slabaugh made his order. The woman wept some during the progress of the hearing. Ely gave his story with con siderable perturbation. One of the state ments made by the child was that her father gave a lot of his money to the church. The woman's attorney endeavored to show that Ely neglected his family in his religious enthusiasm and the woman had to go out on the world and make a living the best way she could. Mrs. Ely and Arthur Reynolds were arraigned before Judge Gordon on the charge of adultery. Both pleaded not guilty and their hearlnr ; wan set for Tuesday after noon. During the afternoon Mrs. Ely was al- owed her liberty on her own recognizance nd she and her husband then kissed and made up and began preparations to go back o Dallas. The prosecution against her will not be pushed in the police court. Divorce iroceedlngs were once Instituted at Dallas > y Mrs. Ely against her husband on the ground of Inhuman treatment , but a recon- lllatlou resulted then as now. Not en from the Court * . The Molzahn habeas corpus case has again rcen passed over by County Judge Baxter until the attorney secured by the Lcbos can nako some Investigation. The slmo set for hearing Is Thursday next. A little more progress has been made by Attorney Churchill In the Holmes nnd lulvey contempt case before Judge Scott. The rule of construction applied to the 'cderal ' constitution , he contends , is reversed as to state constitutions that Is to say , whereas the powers of congress are limited only to those conferred by the constitution , those of legislatures are only limited by constitutional Inhibitions. This being so , the right of habeas corpus can never J > e SUB- > ended Indirectly through shortcomings of eglslatures , as it docs not depend upon either the state constitution or act of legls- ature. Judges , therefore , have all common aw powers , regardless of statutory pro- visions. Read every word of Hayden Bros. ' ad. nurllrtKlnu Iloute Kxeurnlnn Kitten.

WAS LOCKED IN THE TOWER Yonntc Woman llenc-ueil front nil Un- plcnnntit Predicament In the City Hull Cnpoln. In mediaeval times It was no uncommon hlng for maidens fair to bo locked up In ilgh towers , nnd no more uncommon for hem to be rescued by wand Ting gallants , > ut In these modern and unromantlc days uch occurrences are ns scarce as hen's teeth , 'ct right hero In Omaha a fair maiden was o Imprisoned nnd so rescued recently. A few days ago nn Omnhan of the male crsuoslon was walking past the city hall n Fnrnam street when his attention was ttractcd by a card lying on the sidewalk. Its eve noticed some penciled words upon t nnd out of curiosity he picked it up. He cad : "I am locked In the tower of the city all. Will you please tell somebody. " The man looked un , but could not see nto the tower. Ho had almost made up ils mind to pay no attention to the card , but finally concluded that thcro might bo omethine In It. He went Into the city lall nnd to the superintendent's oince. Ho hewed the superintendent the card , but the filclal also thought the thing a fake. Finally , however , the two determined to In- estlgatc. They went to the top floor , found ho door to the tower locked , opened It and went Into the tower , where they found a ount ; noman. The fair prisoner , it seems , was n city hall Isitor. She went into the tower to get a vlow the city. It was about noontime. Vhon ? > he turned to go out she found the door behind her fastened locked probably > y some Janitor who thought no one was n tjjo tower. For half an hour she walled and no one came to release her. Then she ailed , bui no ono heard her. The tower Is o constructed that the attention of people on the sidewalk below cannot be attracted. As a last resort she scribbled her cry for el let upon her card and threw It out. It ortuuately alighted upon the sidewalk. Hundreds of people had probably walked over It before It had been found , for she iad been another half hour In the tower bf ere she was released. FEDERAL BUILDING NOTES. J. F.
