SANTA FE SAID TO BE SEEKING TROUBLE nt IiiiN AtiKHpK nml Sun An * MUrly tn Dnnr Hilt Crontla Ttmnril ( lie Him. Whllo It has been 'believed ' that the rate for the National Educational association meeting nt Is Angoloa next July had been fixed nt ono faru for the round trip , plus $2 , thcro seems yet to bo some doubt about these figures sticking. The Santa Ko Is caiming the trouble , ns usual. It Is reported that this road Is demanding n $5 differential on all traffic over Its line which Is diverted on the coast to return by a northern route. Tin ) Santa Fo has the most direct line tex ] x > 3 Angeles , nnd can make considerable trouble In the rates It It so desires. It will undoubtedly Uo n largo business going , but owing to the hot weather usual In July , itiurli of Its business will como back by other roads. Knowing this from experience tbo oDlclnls ot tba road are anxious to pro tect the treasury nt the start by establish ing for It an edge on the rates made. There Is hardly the slightest prospect that the other roads will consent to grant the dc- jnand u * the Santa FP , nor \n \ It probable that thnt road will neck to cut the rates. After prolonging negotiations for a few weeks , delaying the other roads In getting out their advertising matter for that length of time , the chances are It will drop In line on the rate which has been scuil-olllclally announced , In ml.litlon to the educational association the llnptlst union will hold Its national con vention on the coast , meeting In San Fran cisco In May , and between the two travel to the 1'arlflc coast will bo heavy during the summer. The roads are arranging to thor oughly advertise both events , as well ns the nee-miry and other attractions which go with mich n trip , nnd otherwise nro preparing to get out of the traffic all there is In It. Owing to the low rates It Is expected that tourist travel will also bo heavy , furnish ing n good business for nil the roads It harmony In the passenger departments Is maintained. Uli.ill THAT IT WAH NCI WOHS15. Itnlli-onil Ollli-liilN DlMctiMM ( lie AVrccU Out In AVjomliiK. Union Pacific officials in this city , while of course regretting the wreck which oc curred Wednesday afternoon In Wyoming , are congratulating themselves that the at tendant caUHsiltles were no worse. With the number of cars In the wreck , nnd the rate ot speed Vhlch the train Is reported to have been making , it seems to the officials to 5 > o n miracle that the loss of life was not greater. Even the one death which resulted might hava been avoided had the unfor tunate man remained In his car instead of jumping when the crash came. The car overturned as ho jumped , nnd ho was crushed to death. It Is tel loved at head quarters that none of the Injured , except possibly the tourist car porter , ore in a serious condition , for they have been for warded eastward from the wreck , which would I n 0 lea to that they are at least able to travel. A broken rail , which was the cause ot the wreck , Is held to too an unavoidable acci dent , and ono which Is liable to occur on any road , especially during a cold spell llko the present. Had the nil ! broken some llttlo earlier , while the dining car was full ot piisscngors , or soon enough to have caught the engine , the story of the mishap might have been moro torrlblo in its de tails. The company believes Its good angel was on guard In that General Manager Dickin son was so near at hand when the accident occurred. Ho was at Mcdicino Bow , Wyo. , wharo ho had been detained for a time ow ing to a snow blockade. This is about nlno miles from the scene of the wreck and he was enabled to get there without any great loss of time. iMr. Dickinson Is considered ono of the 'tiest ' men In the country in clear ing up a wreck. Those who have scon him direct 'work ' of this kind say there Isn't an ounce of wasted energy on the part of any one employed under his direction. Every move counts and piled cars arc soon righted. In this particular case ho was assisted by Superintendent Harris of Cheyenne , who was alflo early on the ground. The company's surgeon nt Rawllns , ac companied by a corps of physicians , was rushed to the scene of the accident on a upeclal train , and every attention possible was given to the Injured. So successful wore these efforts that the unfortunates were soon on their way cast to moro com fortable quarters , and although the wreck took place several miles from a telegraphic fctntlon the full extent of the casualties was known at headquarters here within a com paratively short time and n reasonably ac curate account furnished the press for the morning papers. Claim Agent Hussoy of Denver was at Lnramlo when ho received the news of the wreck nnd ho wont to the scone on a special engine and accompanied the wounded on their eastward Journey to care for their wants and comfort. Claim Agent Manches ter of this city was at North Platte and left nt once for the west to meet the train , and will probably relieve Mr. Hussey nt Chey enne. T I ill CluiiiKCit oil llnrlliiKtoii. Whllo no olllclul announcement has been made it In likely the Burlington will make foino changes in its time card within n few flnys which have been contemplated for several weeks. The most important change will bo that nffectlng the Denver train , which , as at present contemplated , will leave Chicago In the afternoon Instead of In the morning , and arrive nt Denver the follow ing evening. This Is the No , 1 which now reaches Omaha about midnight , but under the proposed schedule will not como to this city at nil , going through Plnttsmouth , Louisville nnd Ashland to Lincoln. It will reach the river nbout 3 o'clock In the morn ing. Passenger officials contend It would not pay to bring the train around by Omaha nt that hour. No. 2 will also hnvo Its tlmo changed cast of the river , taking up an hour of the waste , nud reaching Chicago that much earlier in the morning. Mukt'N it OtMilul. 12. P.

Ho says they are nil men of fam ily , nble to buy what they want nnd they nro anxious to make new homes In mlldor nnd more productive cllmi-s than where they have been living. Mr. Judson mot most of them nt the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition nnd whet they saw there of the products of the northwest led them to go out and make personal Investigations. Several hundred farmers' families will move to the northwest this spring nnd their ndvanco agents nro already there. LAST SAD RITES PERFORMED ItrnifiltiN nf Colonel I'nlrluk nt Itent lit I'rONitort Hill Coin- The body of the late Colonel M. T. Patrick was hurled from Trinity cathedral nt 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. At the request of the family the funeral was very Informal , none of the societies of which the deceased was a member taking nn active part. The floral offerings were from the Immediate family only and consisted of u magnificent bunch of lilies and Immortelles , covering the whole casket. At the door of the church the remains were met by Illshop Worthlnglon , assisted by Dean Fair and Rov. T. J. JIackay. An the casket was carried up the alslo a requiem was chanted by the choir nnd clergy. Jules Lumbnrd , assisted by the Trinity choir , sang "Lead Kindly Light" nnd "Peace , Perfect Peace , " with great feeling. Rev. T. J. Maekay read the lesson from St. Paul and the choir sang "Abide with Me. " The prayers for the dead were read by Dean Fair and Bishop Worthlngton. Although the attendance at the residence of the deceased was not large , owing to the expressed wish of the family , the church was crowded with friends anxious to do honor to the dead. It was remarkable that among these nt the church nearly nil were old residents. No event of recent years has called together so , many of the old settlers of the city. The pall bearers wore : W. A. Paxton , C. C. Hughes , Fred Davis , Dr. Victor H. Coffman , Dr. George L. Miller , G. W. Doanc , J. S. Collins nnd Dr. Horace Ludlng- ton. The body was laid to rest In Prospect Hill cemetery.

NOT HERE TO STAY LONG WcntliiT OJllcinlM 1'ronilHc tlie Present Cold Siiell Will Xot lie of Ioi pc Duration. While the mercury dodged well below zero yesterday there is no reason to an ticipate anything approaching n repetition of the frigidity that enveloped Omaha a couple of weeks ago. This is Just a little ono , a sort of reminder that'spring Is still a few weeks distant , and .inbido of another few hours the weather will mod erate again. But the early reports received by the weather bureau indicate that the change was qulto sufficient to go Into the record as a sure enough cold "wave. At Prince Albert the thermometer regis tered 3C degrees below zero , an approxi mation of the extreme cold of the previous cold snap , and at Winnipeg It was 28 below. The wave extended all over the western part of the United States , giving a tem perature of 20 below at Bismarck , 16 below at Valentine and 14 below at Huron and Morehead. Even as far south as Denver it was 2 'below ' , and it ranged from this to 12 below through Montana and Wyoming. At Omaha It was 3 at 7 o'clock , and a llttlo later It reached the minimum of 5 below. The snowfall In Omaha was only 4-100 of an Inch , tout It was whirled about by the north wind until It scorned as though a couple of Inches had fallen. in St'HHloii. COLUMBUS , O. , Feb. 23.

" JUST HAVING GOOD TIME Farmer HO MO * ( Jclx Out nnit Hotn a Hot I'IUT for 111 * An- According to llio report ot the officer who made the nrrtflt Newton C. Reeves , .1 farmer from Taylor county , Iowa , was lodged In Jail Wednesday night for begging on the streets. When searched at the sta tion the police found him to bo the wealthi est "beggar" they hnvo had anything to do with lately. Ho had ft deposit clicck for $200 on the Page County bank ot Clarlndn , la. , n $100 note of C. A. Ollmoro of Essex la. , nnd a $190 certificate of deposit on the United States Natlonnt bank of this city. The ppllco thought the man might not ho the real Reeves , so nn Investigation was In stituted. They discovered that ho had been In the city two or three days hnvlng a good time , but not too hilarious. Ho visited ono ot the variety tlioatcvs several times and on Tuesday applied to the local bank for money. Ho gave a certificate of deposit on the Clarlnda bank for $200. retaining ono for a similar amount himself. The bank telegraphed to Iowa and learned thnt the certificate was good. Reeves left $100 on deposit and drew $10 Tuesday afternoon. Ho seems to have had n pretty good tlmo that night , ns he returned to the bank Wednesday and tried to got moro money , but It was a legal holiday so ho could not got In. Being In need ot cash ho pawned Ills wntch for $2.75. Ho must hnvo spent this during the nftornoon and evening , as ho had only 15 cents on his person. Late at night ho found himself without money nnd no place to sleep. Ho went Into a restaurant and osked the cook for fiO cents to pay for a bed and breakfast. The cook told him to relate his troubles to a police man nnd then proceeded to tell an officer himself. As a result Reeves slept at the station all night. Thursday morning Ser geant Bebout' took Rt-oves1 signature nnd went to the local bank to have it Identified. The signature was correct , and the bunk's description of the man corresponded with his appearance , so the ofllcers released him. In talking of the occurrence Reeves said ho appreciated that he might have been acting suspicious , but he elmply wanted to borrow the money from the man until morning , when ho expected to pay him back. Ho said ho stopped In Omaha on his way through , ns ho was going to look nt some laud which ho might purchase. Minor Police MuUcr * . Henry and Neal May , 3832 Parker street , who ran away from 'their ' home Tuesday wore found at Loulsvlllo , Neb. , and taken tn custody Wednesday night.
