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. "

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.

"The reports that are coming in from our
station agents Indicate that thcro will be

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.

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.

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.
