ON JOINT TICKET AGENCIES
Short Chapter Concerning One of the Local
Eailroad Abuses.
HOW THE TRAVELING PUBLIC SUKFERS
Patrons of the Itnllrondn Insulted and
All 1'ut tn Great Inconvenience
and Sonic Additional Expense
by the Syntein In Vogue.
Indignant protests are heard with increas
ing frequency against the manner In which
the Joint agencies of Omaha terminal rail
roads are conducted. These agencies are
under the supervision of the Western PBB-
uenger association and were established by
the lines entering tbe city for tbo exposition
period In order 'to reduce to a minimum the
danger of their excursion tickets being
manipulated.
Tbo results have been highly successful ,
from a railroad standpoint. Comparatively
few exposition excursion tickets are now
being handled by the ticket brokers. An in-
Htanco of this was recently furnished in the
extremely low price the brokers offered for
the return portions of excursion tickets from
Colorado. Because of the difficulty surround
ing tbo sale ot the tickets 'tho ' brokers would
offer only 75 cents for such a ticket from
hero to Colorado.
The results have not been so pleasing ,
judged from the standpoint of the traveling
public. Reputable citizens of Omaha who
cbanco to make use ot an excursion ticket
and honest visitors find themselves Insulted
by the Joint agents dally. The treasurer
of ono of the largest companies In Omaha
recently bought an excursion ticket to
Omaha from a nearby city , Intending to
return there within a tow days. He was
with a party of three , and at first the
ticket agent said ono man could sign all
thrco tickets. When the treasurer's ticket
was partly signed the agent stopped his
friend and told the treasurer to sign the
ticket himself. He asked for a new ticket ,
fearing there would bo sorao trouble about
the appearance of a half signature crossed
out and another ono written In Its stead.
But the agent assured him that the ticket
would bo all rlcht. The conductor ac
cepted 1 ( for passage. When he presented
It to the Joint agent at the Webster street
station that individual was sure be had
detected a scalper , and proceeded to tell
the Omaha gentleman that bo bad never
bought the ticket , that ba was an impostor ,
that the signature was a forgery and that
It bo didn't get out of tbo line at the win
dow ho would have him arrested.
TlckrU Theiuiolvcn M Inland In jr.
The most trouble , however , is causqd by
deliberate rnlsstatcment that appears on
the exposition excursion tickets. On these
appears the printed notice that the ticket
may bo stomped good for return
at the Joint agency , 1319 Farnara
street , or at the depot from which
the traveler starts on his return trip.
When the tickets wcro printed this was
doubtless the case , but it is not true now ,
and the result la that many hundreds of
strangers make a needless visit to 1319 Far
nam street to have their tickets stamped
only to be sent from there to the Joint
agency at tbe depot.
Some ' time ago it was decided to stamp
only tb'o Sebastian form of tickets at 1319
Farnam street , and to stamp all others the
great bulk ot the excursion tickets at tbo
depot Joint agencies. But the railroads have
not published tbls Information , or Instructed
their selling -gents to draw a. pen through
tbe part reading. "Tbls ticket will be
stamped good for return at 1319 Farnam
trocU * Jittlo matter that might take a

few minutes' time some day when the agent
was not busy and probably 3 cents' worth
ot Ink , but would save an endless amount
of confusion and gtvo some visitors more
time at the exposition.
Much complaint from tourists who desire
to stop hero to spend a few days at the ex
position has been occasioned by the tax of
$1 to the Joint agent for a stopover privi
lege of five days or less. The Omaha pas
senger men say they had to agree to the
tax of $1 for such stopover privileges on
tickets reading both ways through Omaha In
order to satisfy the Chicago & Alton road.
General Passenger Agent Charlton of the
Alton at tbo beginning of the season
threatened ( trouble If tbo $1 fee was not en
forced here for stopovers on ull tickets
reading both ways through Omaha. In or
der to avoid a fight the Omaha lines yielded
to the demand of the Alton , but later on
when they broke with the Alton and put
In .their own rates to the exposition by indi
vidual action , they did not withdraw the $1
tax that < the Alton compelled them
to put Into effect. They Just con
tinued the tax and assessed all those holding
the tickets described $1 apiece. The $1 tax
is still In effeqt , and from all appearances
will bo continued In force until the close
of the exposition , despite tbe protests of
travelers through here who desire to stop
oft to see the exposition.
Where the Tax Goc .
The agreement of the lines on the obnoxi
ous $1 tax Is as follows : "On all round trip
tickets reading both ways , through Omaha ,
with closely limited or continuous passage
transit lines , also on all one-way continuous
passage or closely limited tickets , stop-over
will be allowed , but only on tbo condition
that tickets bo deposited Immediately upon
arrival with Joint agent , and payment made
of a fee of $1. The extension ot limit will
bo made by Joint agent to permit
a stop of not to exceed five days. In such
case , tickets will remain in the hands of
Joint agent until the holder Is to continue
his Journey when It will bo returned to him
properly executed , but good only to start
on that day. "
It Is said the money obtained from the
assessment of tbe $1 tax from persona stop
ping over here to see the exposition , after
they have paid a reasonable rate for their
railroad tickets , goes to the support of the
joint agencies maintained by the Omaha
terminal lines. What becomes of the surplus
Is not made public.
City Hull NoteH.
Yesterday saw the completion of work upon
the new city jail building and tbo police can
move Into it any time next week that they
wish.
Judging from tbe Inquiries received by
the city clerk the public seems to be n bit
tangled up on tha registration days of this
year. They are October 20 nnd 28 nnd No
vember C. The registrars will be appointed
in tbe near future.
In accordance with tbe instructions of the
Board of Education Superintendent of School
Buildings Banker has fitted up n store room
near the Lake school to accommodate the
. overflow from the latter school. It will be
, ready for occupancy on Tuesday. On Mon-
i day an extra room will bo opened in tbe
Forest school and another will have to be
fixed up at the Franklin school.

THEIRS IS A WORK OF FAITH
Life in the Salvation Army is One of
Deprivation and Toil.
ONLY A FEW BEGGARLY SALARIES PAID
Omccru Give Up Their Whole Time to
the Work mill Are Under Strict
ReKUlnr Army Discipline
UnrliiR Their Service.
To the man on 'tho ' sidewalk the strag
gling procession of the Salvation Army ap
pears as an Interesting but rather faintly
understood phenomenon. Ho has a vague
admiration for men and women who can
break through conventionality In such a
manner for the sake of an Idea , but ho Is
mostly In the dark regarding their point ot
view or the details of their organization. It
Is not understood that the army Is subject
to a carefully outlined plan of government
, and that from itho general to the latest
convert all are amenable to a discipline as
thorough as that of the regular army of the
United States. While the soldier does not
claim his country's gratitude by facing shot
and shell , ho goes about duties that some
times require equal fearlessness In a man
ner heroic from 'the ' fact that he can expect
no praise from his fellow men.
! When a man Joins the army he takes cer
tain vows of obedience and faithfulness and
receives the rank of private. He goes about
his ordinary business during the day and
every night Is expected to appear at the bar
racks of the corps to report for duty. He
may bo deputized by his superior officer to
spend the night at a bedside In some dlsease-
smtit'ten ' home , or ho may simply be called
upon to follow In the street procession and
lend his voice In song or public testimony.
No locality la too low and no night too bitter
to offer excuse for failure to carry out or
ders. For this work he receives no compen
sation whatever and Is expected to con-
trlbuto from his private resources to aid In
the cause.
Flrnt Step In Promotion.
The grade next above the private Is that
of the "local officers , " the president , secre
tory and treasurer of the corps , nnd the *
sergeant major. The latter Is otteu
detailed * .o lead a meeting era
a street narade , and Is sometimes cut ( n
charge ot a brigade sent to represent the
corps at ame other cost. Ho also goes
on with his dally occupation and receives
no compensation. The other local officers
have the finances and correspondence of the
post under their direction and other routine
matters that may arise.
The first salaried officer In the army la the
lieutenant , and as In the case of his su
periors who receive compensation , It should
be understood that nothing whatever is
guaranteed tohim. . If his proportion ot
the Income of the post docs not amount to
the $0 a week , nominally allowed to him ,
he Is obliged to get along on whatever it
amounts to. The lieutenant Is pledged to
give Ills entire time to the work , and de
pends altogether upon his army allowance
to supply his family with everything except
the shelter furnished at the barracks. He
Is required to put In eighteen hours a week
visiting both among the soldiers under his
charge and In other quarters where bla
presence may be helpful. Nine hours of
this time are spent In the lower part ot the
city urging a better and higher life upon
the men and women found there. Many of
the officers of the local post spend as much
as forty hours weekly in such visitation.
Tbo lieutenant is also expected to attend
the nightly meetings and the three ses
sions nu Sunday.
The next outranking officer is the cap
tain , that person at tbo local corps being
Captain Relnhart. She does also the work
of lieutenant , whoso post IB at present un-
supplled. The captain receives nominally
$7 , but actually much less , as the re
ceipts of the post have been Inadequate.
She also docs a largo amount of visiting ,
and Is expected to watch closely over tbe
spiritual welfare of tbe soldiers of the
corps. All her spare time Is spent among
the poorer classes of the city. Where thcro
Is filth , brooms and mops are brought into
play ; where there Is sickness and desti
tution food Is prepared , or It the cupboard
Is empty a begging expedition is made to
obtain necessaries. Every opportunity Is
taken in tbo meantime to offer tbe message
ot tbe now testament.
Carter Ilulcii In Omnhu.
The highest ranking officer In this vicinity
Is Ensign W. J. Carter , who la a grade above
the captain , and has authority over the dis
trict of eastern Nebraska , comprising eight
corps. Ho Is supposed to receive f 10 a week
for his services , but the books of the corps
show that ho has been allowed an average
of $3.50 a week to meet all his expenses , ex
cept house rent. Ensign Carter keeps a
close oversight upon tbe corps under his
supervision and sends every month a report
to Major Stlllwell of the southwestern divi
sion at Kansas City , detailing the following
Items : Hours spent In visiting , homes
visited , homes prayed In , people In attend
ance and the amount of receipts and ex
penditures. The ensign also visits the
soldiers of the corps once a week besides tha
regulation amount ot outside visiting.
The work attempted by the army Is divided
into several branches , as follows : Field
service , rescue work , the social and eluin
branches , and the farm colony , the first two
branches being tbe only ones in operation
In Omaha at present. Field work Includes
simply street meetings and personal efforts
among tbe traveling public. Rescue work
In the direction of reclaiming women wbo
have fallen is carried on at the Rescue home
nt 2015 Plnckney street. There are at present
eight occupants , all of whom promise good
results. They , are. taught to cook , sew and
do general housework , nnd the record of
the last two years sbowa that over 85. per
cent have been started and kept In the way
of making a respectable livelihood.
The social branch will probably be started
in Omaha tbls winter , and Is Intended to
reach "out-of-works" of all descriptions.
They will be furnished with a clean bed and
a meal at a nominal cost. The slum work
Involves residence In the lower portion of
the city in the manner of a college settle
ment and the Inculcation of wholesome Ideas
by a personal example. The nearest farm
colony to this locality is at Fort Romay ,
near Pueblo , Colo. , and here families are
transported who have been unable to make
a success of life in more crowded communi
ties. Each family te furnished with ten
acres ot irrigated land , a small bouse , a
horse , wagon , pig and cow , and ho U ex
pected to make return at the rate of $1 a
we k when his crop has been harvested. The
cost of each outfit Is $500 , and this money
has been advanced by charitable persons
who are Interested in tbe experiment.

STUDENTS BEGIN STUDIES
High School is Taxed to Its Pull Limit in
Oaring for Pupils ,
NO TIME IS LOST IN PRELIMINARIES
ArrniiKcmentn for Handling the Crush
of Youthful Humanity Carefully
nnd Successfully Worked Out
! > > Principal Lcvlston ,
The Omaha High school opened last week
with Its staircases groaning under the weight
of a multitude of young feet and Its windows
bulging with the pent up life within , but
still making shift to take care of the de
mands made upon It. The attendance Is
larger than ever before , and every square
Inch of the building's Interior has been put.
into shape for service. From an attendance
of fifty when It became the final
step In the city's educational system
a little over twenty-five years ago , the In
stitution was called upon Monday to make
place for nearly 1,500 pupils. It has done
this In u satisfactory way , and the routine
Is already almost as well established as in
the middle of the school year.
The dispatch with which all the details
of the organization have been settled is quite
a marvel of engineering. Each student's
course must bo mapped out for him Indl-
i vldually , and his recitation hours must be
so assigned that they do not conflict or
crowd too many pupils into the same classes.
All these arrangements have previously con
sumed a great deal of time , and the ex
perienced High school pupil has generally
counted upon the opening week as a period
ot Idleness and general levity. Preparations
I were more complete this year , however , and
the first day of school saw each student
! assigned to his course and class rooms and
at work upon lessons given out.
j For two weeks Principal L/evlston has been
' busy with an Involved schedule in which
each pupil was represented by the detail
of his day's work. The schedule was made
up from cards filled out last spring by un
dergraduates down to the Eighth grade out
lining what studies they wished to take dur
ing the year following. They were accom
modated as far as possible with regard for
their own evident 'best interest and the
facilities of the school , and were so assigned
to lecture rooms that the classes -would bo
evenly divided. The system has proved suc
cessful and has saved a great deal ot time.
KccpliiK CliiHRC * Together.
The Incoming freshman class , consisting
of 450 pupils , has been quartered as far as
possible on tbe third and fourth floors. To
i avoid the necessity of stair climbing they
! are kept almost altogether on the upper
floors , and an effort is made to have their
' recitation rooms on their own particular
i level. These rooms were full to overflow
ing Tuesday with bright young reciters.
From one open door came tbe Information
that "Gallla est dlvlsa in partea Ires , " and
from another valuable pointers regarding
geometrical figures.
The Bophomoreti , who are almost equally
unwieldy in point ot numbers , are taken
care of in tbe basement ) and first floor , re
moving them as far as possible from tbelr
hereditary enemies , and tbelr recitation
rooms are also in this portion of the build
ing. Five rooms , previously unused , were
fitted up In the basement last year , and the
sophomores mostly occupy this mole-like
habitation.
The Juniors and seniors are tucked in be
tween almost anywhere , In some Instances in
tbe same room to the outrage ot their class
prejudices.
The class of ' 99 Is said to be almost tbe
equal of the brilliant senior clasi of last
year , and perhaps fully so. If it can main
tain its present quota it will bo a record-
breaker In point of number , the total en
rollment being 11G. Of these a sufficient
number will not be in at the finish to bring
the number down in all probability to that
of last year , which was 101. The pitfalls
open to senior feet are the more
definite and thorough requirements
which are being laid down each
year. There are monthly tests , the
same for each class In like , subjects which
bring out quite clearly both whether the
work has been properly presented by the In
structor , and whether it has been duly di
gested by the student.
English Department Full.
Ono result of allowing the students all
possible election In laying out their work
seems to be resulting In more subjects pre
paratory to college courses being taken up.
The English department under Assistant
Principal Kate L. McIIugh is especially
strong , Including almost every pupil In the
school , and it Is directed In a thorough man
ner. Modern languages under Miss Alice M.
Laudls are also coming In for an Increased
amount of attention. The demands upon the
Manual Training department exceed the
facilities on hand , and a number of appli
cants have necessarily postponed their am
bition to work In wood nnd Iron. Prof. Wlg-
ninn. baa on equipment In the carpenters'
room , the turners' room and the iron , mold-
era' room for 116 workmen , and this num
ber was more than completed In the * first
rush. The commercial department under
Prof. Blake baa not as yet been generally
chosen. About seventy-five have taken up
this branch as their major subject , or have
elected It In connection with some other
line.
line.There
There Is still no provision at the High
school for physical training , and the young
men will be obliged to rely solely upon drill
and foot ball for development In that line ,
while the young women have nothing In
prospect but stair climbing. Last year the
facilities of the Turnvcreln gymnasium
were offered and taken advantage ot by
more than seventy girls. They were In
structed In the Oorman system of gymnas
tics , under Prof. Retzer , but no similar ar-
ranngcments are probable this year.
There Is a good Interest shown In the
foot ball season Just opening , and last week
the first practice- was held on the campus ,
A good representation turned out and the
men were drilled In signals and snapping
the ball by Captain Eugene Tracy , ' 00.
The probable makeup ot the eleven Is of
course not determined as yet , but the fol
lowing players will probably go to make up
tbe team : Preston Davlson , quarter ; Guy
Thomas , behind the line ; Eugene Tracy ,
back ; Hal Dickinson , line man ; Robert
Morse , full or half back. At a meeting of
the Athletic association Preston Davlson
was elected president and manager for the
athletic season.
HentN Off n Footpad.
Colonel M. H. Kerner , a guest at the

Immediately followed by the footpad , who

SEYMOUR'S BUST FOR UTICA
Dr. Miller Iiitoniln to Present III *
MuRitlflccnt Ilronce to the
Ncvr York City.
His bronze bust , heroic size , of Gov
crnor Horatio Seymour of Now York ,
which several years ago ha had made and
erected on a stone pedestal In Seymour
park , Dr. George L. Miller hag concluded to
give to the municipality of Utlco , N. Y. , or
to the Onolda County Historical society
there. His reason for this Is that ho be
lieves the most fitting place for the monument
ment Is the city which was the homo and Is
the grave ot the Now York statesman , and
where ho earned his best fame.
Dr. Miller was In Utlca last week and
talked to the Chamber of Commerce thcro
of the attractive features of the exposition.
While at the oHleo of Thomas II. Proctor
ho Incidentally told of his Intentions and
how ho came to have the bust made. The
doctor is a great admirer of Horatio Sey
mour nnd a forestry enthusiast , and while
the American Forestry association was here
recently ho took occasion to pay an eloquent
tribute to him and also J. Sterling Morton
for what they had done In behalf of
American tree-planting. His country homo
ot 400 acres near thin city be called Seymour
park , In honor of Governor Seymour.
In explanation Dr. Miller told a represent
ative of the Utlca Observer that he had con
ceived the Idea of a Seymour bust long be
