The Western Trunk line committee hold
a meeting yesterday. Chairman Nash
woa not present and General Agent Kuhn
of tlio Northwestern presided. The ques
tion of forclns shippers to load their cars
heavier after Kcbrtmry 1 , In accordance
with the general agreement of tbo freight
associations , was Informally discussed.
After this month Omaha packers must not
load less than 30,000 pounds in one car
lor eastern points. If the rule Is violated
the shipper will bo charged with a mini
mum of th.t amount.
The now rule on Iron shipments from
the cast to Missouri river and Pacific coast
points went Into effect yesterday. The mini
mum was raised from 24,000 to 30,000
pounds per car. It was the generally ex-
prcs ed opinion of the members present that
the now rule would work no Inconvenience
< o shippers and that within a short time
they will become accustomed to the change
and bowell satisfied , Requests from a
number of local packers were received for
Information on the now echedulo , but no
protests were heard 'with ' reference to the
subjoct.
The opinion was expressed by one of the
members that this change to heavier loads
for through cars Is Inevitable , since big
transcontinental lines have laid their heav
iest rails and improved their roadbeds lor
the traffic. This change iwas gradually
brought about In deference to the wishes
of the operating departments ot the big
corporations , which wished these Improve
ments In order 'that the passenger trains
could bo handled on a fast schedule with
the smallest possible element of danger.
After the heavy rails were In place for the
passenger trafflo Itwas natural that the
companies should look to an economical
ftrrangement In the way of , handling their
freight trains and to do this to the best
posDlblo advantage moans the loading of
the cars to their full capacity.
It costs approximately is much , It is
Bald , to haul an empty car as a loaded one.
The tendency among the western lines ,
where the grades In the mountains arc
not too heavy , has been for years to put
into service freight cars of greater capac
ity.
Topic * for
There Is much Interest In local railway
circles over the meeting of the Western
Passenger association In Chicago next Mon
day. At this meeting It Is expected that a
general strengthening of the association
throughout the territory It controls will be
accomplished. Homo seekers' excursions
will bo a fertile topic of discussion on this
occasion and It Is said among the local pas
senger men that the terms granted this class
of patrons will bo even more liberal than In
the past. The restrictions , however , are ex
pected to be more severe , which will mean
the reducing ot the time limit to some ex
tent. The western lines and especially those
reaching tbls territory are In favor of grant
ing any reasonable concession to this class.
Sfew Ilnle on IlnndllttK Corpneii.
Local roads arc being forced to change
their plan of handling corpses. For many
years It has been customary to charge double
first-class faro for a corpse , or , in other
words , to force some person to accompany
the corpse , such person bavlng a first-class
ticket for himself and the same for the dead
( body. In such cases the conductor would
take Up the coupon of both tickets. Borne
time ago the Southern Pacific Introduced the
Bchemo ot having the ticket for the corpse
presented to the baggage agent at the point
of shipment , who would take up the same
nnd ship the coffin In the form of excess
baggage. This scheme did Away with sc
much detail that It Is now being adopted
generally , though at present both system !
ore in vogue , occasioning some confusion.
Snntn Fe Comluctom Let Ont.
TOPEICA , Jan. 1C. Nine Santa Fe con
ductors running on the western , Now Mexico
ice and lllo Grande divisions have been dis
charged from the service for using the shorl
faro system. An Investigation will probablj
follow. The officials > ln this city are unabh
to state how many conductors will be re
lieved from duty on the three divisions
an the Investigation Is wholly In the handi
ot Division Superintendents Dyer and Hur
ley. It in almost certain that more thai
the nlno men discharged yesterday will tx
relieved from service. The belief here li
that the short fare system had been carried
I on for some time , and the loss to the com
pany Is considerable.

HARRINGTON IS A WINNER
Judge Baxter Decide * Thlril Wnrd
AiBCnorxlil | > Content , Kliiilliiu
AKnltmt Henry Ithocln.
County Judge Baxter has confirmed the
election of Thomas Harrington as assessor of
Iho Third ward.
The greater part of the morning was occu
pied by the attorneys making their respective
arguments. Lee Estelle , on behalf of the
contestant , Henry Rhode , urged that where
the voter put a cross In the square oppo
site the name of Harrington in each of the
three fusion party columns It was prac
tically a distinguishing mark. A ballot
counted for Harrington In the seventh pre
cinct had been marked with a smaller circle
within ono of the party circles at the head
of the column and another circle put along
side. Judge Baxter observed that a vote had
also been counted for Rhode wherein the
voter had put two crosses alongside the cir
cle , so the result would not be changed were
ballots to be thrown out. Mr. Estelle
claimed the election of his client by two
votes.
For Harrington , I. J. Dunn argued that
whatever might be the court's ruling in
cases where the voter put his cross In each
of the circles at the head of the three fusion
party columns , another proposition entirely
was Involved , where the voter had voted
simply for individuals , and not for parties.
Ho had a New York decision from which ,
however , Judges Parker nnd O'Brien of that
state bad dissented , In which the supreme
court held that a ballot was not Invalid on
which the voter had marked for the same In
dividual In two or more columns. In sup
port of his contention he had also decisions
from Montana and Nevada. The question
has never been squarely passed upon in this
state.
The court ruled that those ballots marked
with a cross in each of the circles at the
heads of the three fusion party columns
are void and had been properly counted out ,
because there -was no way of telling the
party affiliation of the voter , but it was
different with the ballots where the voter
had marked simply In more than one
column for the some Individual , for the
question of his party affiliation did not then
arise and his intention to vote for Herring-
ton as an Individual had been clear. Ac
cordingly , Harrington , was declared the
proper Incumbent of the office by a vote
of ono , Mr. Estelle being granted an ex
ception.
It Is doubtful If an appeal will be taken.
ItnckovU In Court Affnln.
Another petition for habeas corpus has
been made In behalf of Dan Buckovls , whr
was arrested by Policeman Anton Inda era
a charge of being ono ot three assailant !
of Policeman Jorgcuscn. His attorney
raited the point that the arresting office !
was not qualified to serve the warrant Ir
the first Instance when Policeman Klewlcj
attempted to arrest * the three men on c
charge ot resisting an officer , not being n
deputy of the chief of police and thctefor <
not legally empowered under the new char
ter to servo -warrant In a mlsdemeanoi
case. On the strength ot tbls , Judge Sla-
baugh of the district court let Buckovls go
Buckovls was at once rearrcsted by a dep
utized officer. Judge Scott granted the writ
making It returnable Tuesday morning.

GRIP DOES DEADLY WORK
Pushes Omaha't ' Death Eato Above the High
Wufcr Mark ,
IT EXCEEDS THAT OF ANY FORMER YEAR
Murliinrr Stntlntlm Show thnt Many
llavn Snconnihcil to the Kil-
denilc thnt In Sweeping
Over the Land.
The records In the office of the Board of
Health at the conclusion of January's second
end week give additional evidence of the
lavoc that grip and the kindred ailments
that follow In Its wake arc creating In the
ranks of Omaha's citizens and also give
strong Indications ' . ) at the Grim Heaper Is
lustllng In an endeavor to establish a new
ilKa-water mark In monthly mortality.
During tlie half mouth , In number of deaths ,
January has already exceeded the record for
.ho whole of the same month during several
years past , has surpassed the average
monthly mortality during 1838 and , If It
jeeps up Its present gait during the re
mainder of the month , It will make a new
maximum record of deaths per month in
the history of the city.
The total number of deaths reported are
eighty-six. The total number of deaths dur-
ng the entire months of January during
.ho last seven years have been as follows :
In 1898 , 72 ; 1S97 , 76 ; 1896 , 7C ; 1895 , 05 ; 1S94 ,
111 ; 1893 , 113 ; 1892 , 103 ; an average for the
month of a little more than ninety-two.
This half of the month of January has
equalled or exceeded the entire records of
seven months of 1898 and Is about a little
behind the entire records of the remaining
nonths , as Is shown In tile following data :
March , 90 ; August , 93 ; Juno , 89 ; November ,
93 ; December , 101. The half month has sur-
lassed the average monthly death record of
1S9S , which was eighty-two. The high-
water mark of deaths per month was es
tablished In July , 1S93 , when 157 persons
died. If January keeps up Its present rate ,
t will surpass this record with a total of
172.
172.Grip
Grip , pneumonia and similar diseases are
icld responsible for this great mortality nnd
ho certificates of death bear out this theory.
Of the eighty-six deaths , twenty-four re
sulted from pneumonia , eight from grip and
seven from bronchial troubles a total o
.hlrty-nlne. In twenty-four cases no causes
of death were assigned and the health offl-
: lals are confident that when thcso arc
earned , It will be found that a due proportion
tion are from the same causes. It Is safe to
estimate that one-half or more of the deaths
lave come from crip or pneumonia troubles.
This death record Is a Startling ipdex of
the prevalence of the grip In the city. No
physician cares to estimate the number of
rases , but every one of them Is busy day and
light In caring for them. Superintendent of
Schools Pearse estimates that since the first
of the year between 10 and 16 per cent of
the school children have been absent on ac
count of the disease. And there Is no prom
ise of an abatement of the disease as yet.
The following deaths and their causes were
reported to the health commissioner during
: ho twenty-four hours ending at noon yes
terday :
Deaths Frederick Clarence Hoag , 330
North Thirty-sixth avenue , 1 year ; William
McKlnley Lebo , 3413 South Fifteenth , 3

RELIEF FOR THE CITY COUNCIL
Superintendent Penrne ot Public
School * Talk * of Court Declnlou
ItelatlnK to Tax Levy.
In speaking of the decision of the district
court concerning the school levy , Superin
tendent Pearso of the public schools said :
"I think the members of the council will
feel relieved by tro decision. Nearly all ol
them have always felt friendly toward the
schools and desired to be liberal with them ,
They have be n In a hard position. There
Is always the demand of the various city
departments for as much money as possible ,
There Is , on the other hind , always a tre
mendous pressure from some largo property
holders to make the total levy as small as
possible. These causes have usually re
sulted In giving the schools what was left
of the levy after providing for the other de
partments. The members of the council
can now say , wltli reference to the school
levy. Just what every tax-levying body In
Nebraska has said in the past , 'Gentlemen
we itfer you to the Board of Education
They determine what the amount expended
for the schools shall be. The law requires
thit within the limit fixed by the statutes
we shall provide what they say Is neces
sary , '
"Tho Board of Education has , during thi
last five years , reduced the running cx <
ponses of the schools greatly. The tola
amount expended has not been dlmlnlshec
It could not be , because the number of chil
dren In school has constantly increased
The cost per child , however , shows a largi
cut In expenses. The board is now main
talning the schools on on Income per chll (
probably not more than two-thirds as grea
as the Income per child eight or ten year :
ago.
ago."The board is confident that the great ma
Jorlty ot the people of the city will endorsi
the Interpretation of the law made by thi
court. The people at large have not ob
jccted , and do not object , to the school tax
If any taxpayers are ground down o
crippled financially by taxes , It Is not by thi
school tax , but by special taxe
for improvements and matters o
hat kind. The board has for semi
'years made the request upon the city coun <
ell as modest as It could bo made wlthou
crippling the schools. They have in almos
every Instance conducted the schools for i
sum within the estimate presented to thi
council. I have no doubt It will contlnui
In the future t9 present estimates as emal
aa the welfare of the schools will perml'
and will avoid carefully any uncallodfor cx >
expenditure.
"I believe the decision will have a KOCH
effect in this way that It will make thi
Board of Education directly responsible foi
the amount expended for schools. If thi.
shall cause the public to take more laterc-a
in the Board of Education and In thi
schools and to look more carefully afte ;
them , the effect cannot be other than good. '

COURT MOVES TO LINCOLN

011 liana to llcjiln January Term.
The opening of United States court nt Lin
coln robs the local government building of
a largo proportion of the activity that pre
vails at other times. The fact that the
Dorsey trial Is yet unfinished keeps a few
of the officials nnd employes In Omaha , but
when this Is over the exodus will be prac
tically complete and during the next month
the broad corridors ot the building will be
almost entirely deserted and most of the
offices will bo absolutely deserted.
The party that went to Lincoln Included
Judge Munger and his stenographer , Miss
Waring , Clerk II111U and Miss Florence
Moore of the clerk's qfilce , and Marshal
Thutnmel and Deputy John Nicholson. As
soon as the Dorsey trial Is over the re
maining attaches of the court will follow ,
leaving only ono deputy marshal and one
bookkeeper In the clerk's office to represent
Uncle Sam during the remainder of the
term. Although no cases of exceptional In
terest are likely to figure In the Lincoln
term , there Is a large docket , which will
require five or six weeks to dispose of.
The cross-examination of Frank M. Dor
sey was continued before Judge Garland.
The attorney for the government made a
vigorous effort to break the witness down
on some of the explanations which ho made
on his direct examination. Ho directed a
heavy bombardment on Dorsey's previous
statement that the Warren Bellar note for
$2,000 had been used to take up the Strong
note for a similar amount and centered his
fire on the fact that the books do not show
any record whatever of the Strong note.
Dorsey persisted in his positive statement
that Cashier Hlgglns handed him the Strong
note In exchange for the Bellar note and
declared that as he had not kept the books ,
ho was entirely unable to explain why the
missing entry did not appear. He Insisted ,
however , that Uie letter files and the record
of drafts would certainly show the trans
action. Ho was .also questioned closely In
regard to his dn'alal that he knew that notes
that were Issued for rediscount were entered
as paid on the books , but without effecting
any material change In his testimony.
Continuing , Mr. Sawyer occupied , the re
mainder of the day in a searching examina
tion In which nearly the entire direct testi
mony of the witness was reviewed. The re
sult had a tendency rather to strengthen
the case of the defense than to- weaken It.
Dorsey refused to bo tangled up and scarcely
varied a hair's breadth from his original
testimony on any point.

NEWS FOR THE ARMY MEN
Gencrnt Bniniiur Arrive * mid Tiikcx
ChnrKC of Military AfTnlrn In the
Department of the Mlxitourl.
Brigadier General Edwin V. Sumner , the
recently appointed commanding ; general of
tho'Department of the Missouri , has arrived
in Omaha and taken his place at his desk
at the local army headquarters. As General
Sumner has not yet been relieved at Den-
vrr by General Slorrlam , this Is merely a
1. .ng trip for the purpose of passing on
such matters as require the attention of the
commanding officer and ho will return to
Denver Tuesday night.
"I expect to be relieved at Denver about
the last ot the month , " said General Sum
ner , "and I will probably come to Omaha
permanently about February 1. I am here
now merely for the purpose of attending tea
a few routine matters and must then return
to remain in Denver until I am relieved. "
Referring to department affairs. General
Sum nor stated that It is expected that the
Twentieth Infantry will leave Fort Leaven-
worth for the Philippines Saturday. The

at a quarter.
A window full for you to sco the styles .and pat
terns. C.OSG8 and counters full for you to eliooso
from. This neckwear selling is wonderful should
be we expected it and we're never disappointed ,
It isn't often you find such a collection of pattornsand
styles as you find hero for a quarter. Customers say the
only detrimental feature of your neckwear is , there's
so many patterns it's hard to make a choice.itjfs"
u Tccks" "Four-in-fund " " " " /
- - , "Imperials" "F/owiiig
Ends" etc. Your'choice of any tie you find in the
house twenty-five cents. Then comes those men's
double heel and toe cashmere halt hose , natural and
black , extra good values at a quarter of > dollar
usually bring 35c and 40o elsewhere , and nkfiifteen
cents we give you melt's ' merino half hose , that sell for
twenty-five cents the world over. You'll find such
values all through the house , giving you better values
than you can find anywhere in the universe. It was
surprising to us at the number of lady customers we
had yesterday and Saturday. AVe appreciate
your coming , Women folks , as a rule , know bettor
values in neckwear than the men folks. Let the good
wife look after his small ware wardrobe. He's too
busy , perhaps , to coirio. If he doesn't like the style
he may change it as often as he wishes.
