THE OMAHA DATLY BEE : TUESDAY , AITGITST 22 , 18fW. PROPOSES TO ECONOMIZE W&buh Oonsidan Adritabllitj of Abolishing Eipensiro Foreign Agenoiei , PLAN WILL BE WATCHED WITH INTEREST Onmhfi PnnflniKcr Jinn UlrcH II In Upln. Ion on the Jlnttor 1'roniierlly o ( ItnllronilN In Hlmrcd liy Kin- , ii Itnllrond floftilp , The Wabash railroad haa a scheme on Toot which , If It Is successfully carried out , will bo a valuable example to numerous other railroads all over the country. It Is the abolishment of the expensive foreign Rgenoles which It operates In cities far re moved from Its line. The plan Is yet under ndvlsoment nnd Is expected to be definitely doclded one way or the other by the first of next month. The arguments presented In favor of the closing of these offices Is that their maintenance Is expensive nnd the returns nro not sulllclent to justify the large amounts paid out In salaries nnd cler ical hire. In doing away with the general itgonclcs the Wabash docs not Intend to abandon any of the territory covered In this way at the present time , but vlll have the business looked nfter by traveling freight and passenger agents who will work directly from headquarters Instead of being under the supervision of general agents. If the proposed order of the Wubash Is pro mulgated It will Include the abolishment of the offices of general agents , of freight nnd passenger departments , nnd general agents of the combined departments , as well aa contracting , commercial nnd solicit ing agents nnd freight nnd passenger agents. This plan of the Wnbash Is not now. A few years ago sovcrnl roads attempted thu same thing , but there was Homo kind of n hitch In the arrangements and the plan was never brought to consummation. Since then the various railroads have kept expensive general agencies in the larger cities , many of them thousands of miles from their nctual operating territory , in order to meet the competition of other roads. If the Wabash takes the Initial eland , without the aid and consent of any other railroad , and It proves successful In Its operation , then n number of other roads may be expected to follow the lend. An Omaha passenger man , connected with one of the largo -western lines , In whoso territory there Is an endless number of general agents representing eastern roads , said regarding this matter , "Tho proposition of the Wnbash Is n most sensible one. This thing of establishing expenslva offices la cities nowhere near the line of the road represented has never proven profitable , nnd It results In n compotltlon of thceo outside roads with the transconti nental lines which takes from the latter much business which legitimately belongs to them. But while this cuts something of an Inroad on the business of the through lines , It does not amount to enough for the foreign roads to pay them In keeping the ngcnclea In operation. I will not bo at nil surprised to BCD the Wabash take tha stand proposed , and If It does there will surely be a number of other roade that will take similar action by the llrst of next year. " LOW ILATI3 KXCUHSIOXS A SUCCESS. Local Ofllcluls StrciiKthciicil In Their EMicrtatluitn of HlK CrowilN. Local officials of the Rock Island and Qulncy routes nre much pleased over the success of the excursions which were run Sunday on account of the exposition. The Qulncy special came from Pattonsburg , Mo. , and arrived nt 11 o'clock In the morning. There were eleven coaches loaded to their fullest capacity , and the big crowd proved conclusively that the people will travel when low ratca nro offered. The rate made by this line from Pattonsburg , n dis tance of 144 miles , wns $1.50 for the round trip. trip.Tho Rock Island excursion came from Falrbury and wns in the nature of an outIng - Ing trip , arranged by the conductors nnd iiromcn who work on the Rock Island out of Fatrbury. They were accompanied by many of their friends and the six coaches contained about 350 people , Including the Falrbury cornet band , which contributed grently to the succces of the occnslon. The passenger men connected with the four rends which will run spcclnl excur sions into Omaha the latter part of this month arc much pleased with the success of Sunday's excursions , as it indicates to them that the low rates which they have offered will meet with the same response on the part of the people along their lines ns they did with the residents of Pattonsburg nnd Falrbury. They have started out this week wltfi renewed vigor and nre much en couraged over the prospects of nn excep- tlonnlly largo traffic Into Omaha this month. noon iiAii.noAii MI < JN iv DE.nAxn. Work IN Plentiful ana Itctter Tliiin for Many Yenrw. The services of practical , reliable railroad men were never before'In such demand as they nro at the present time , nnd railroad mnnngers agree that fewer railroad men are Idle now than at any time In late years. Wages are also bettor than they have t > een for many years and the prosperity which Is being enjoyed by all of the big railroad systems Is shared by the employes. Nearly every road In the western country Is keeping Its men steadily nt work and now icbedules have gone Into effect recently with the several railroad orders the engineers , fire men , conductors and brakomcn because of the Increased alzo of rolling stock , such as furniture , grain and coal cars. In speaking of this Improved condition of affairs n railroad man said : "Wages are certnlnly higher than they have over been in recent ycnre. Engineers nro now earning about $15 n month more than they used to , and It is n poor month when their pay checks do not reach from $185 to $190 per month. The panic Increase Is about proportional with the firemen , conductors and brakomcn and the working railroad men seem to be gener ally satisfied with the present condition. There has been a tendency of increase along nil lines ; even the section men are paid bet ter for n day's labor now than they formerly -were. " PASSUNfiRU MIO.V AUK IX SESSION.

CHICAGO , 'Aug. 21 , An Important meet ing of the Western Passenger association was held hero to-Jay , It Is probable that the sessions will continue for the greater jmrt of the week. A strong effort will bo tnado to get outsldo Hues Into the associa tion , These lines Include the Wisconsin Central , the Chicago Great Western and the 'Minneapolis ' & St. Louts roads , Other subjects which will come before the association are the present unsatisfactory condition of California rates nnd the con dition of rates between Chicago and St. Paul. Chicago brokerage officco are stocked with return stubs of eastern excursion rates , which are being cold for $4.50 below tha regular rates to St. Paul and fears are en tertained that demoralization of rates will result unleKB some means are devised for stopping the practice. A movement looking toward the estab lishment of a bureau of common advertis ing In connection with the association will be dUcussed. Interchangeable mileage end a proposition to stop tha practice of carrying baggage free on tickets costing less than 60 cents , wll | t > o among the subjects that will come before the meeting.

Ralph Cramer , a IG-ycar-old lad , locked up In the matron's room at the city jail , made his escape from custody Sunday night by slipping through the wooden slate on a second story window and Jumping to the ground , a distance of eighteen feet. Cramer wns detained In an upstairs room seldom used for prisoners. Because of his youth , the police did not want to lock him up with the hardened criminals. The lad was In the room when the day matron left for home , and In the fifteen minutes Inter vening before the night matron reported for duty he made his escape. Boys and Important witnesses have got ten 'out of the window before , but the police thought by nailing slats across It there would not be a repetition of the trouble. Young Cramer happened to bo a slender lad nnd managed to slip between the bars without difficulty. The boy was being held for stealing a gold watch from the room of W. S. Hawley , 415 South Elev enth street. There wns another small boy Implicated In the offense and the officers were searching for him. Cramer confessed to the theft and the watch was recovered. An IiitercNtlne 'Cone ' Settled. An order was filed in the United States district court on August 4 discontinuing , by consent of both parties , the suit of the United States against John Duncan's Sons. This simple incident terminated a remark able episode In the administration of the customs Taws. About sixty years ngo this firm become the Amerlcnn ngents for the firm of Lea & Pcrrlns ot Worcester , England , manufac turers of the well-known proprietary preparation called Worcestershire sauce. About twenty-two years ago a change of practice was begun by Lea & Perrlns nnd John Duncan's Sons , by which , Instead ot sending over here the sauce finished , bottled tled , labelled and ready for use , It was sent over in a partly manufactured condition in casks and the Messrs. Duncan finished the sauce hero according to a formula fur nished them by the English house , and bottled tled and put it up for sale. This course had certain obvious advantages. It saved the firm from paying duties on bottles , labels , straw and finishing expenses , and avoided breakage. The article which was brought over was nn incomplete material for the sauce , and was , of course , of no JBO to anybody who was not acquainted with the formula for finishing It. It was never furnished by Lea & Perrlns to any body but the Duncans , and consigned only to them. It was , therefore , one of thu class of merchandise for wlifich our tariff law pro vides that in determining- valuation upon which to assess duty the government officers shall ascertain the cost of produc tion and make suitable addition to represent tno manufacturers pront. Lea & Perrlns had furnished the United States consul with a statement of their cost ot production , giving as much detail ns wns consistent with the Inviolability of their proprletnry secret. A suit wns brought ngnlnst the Importers. They defended it , putting in an answer denying that the goods had been undervalued , nnd alleging good fnlth on their part. The attorney general directed the discontinuance of the suit on the Messrs. Duncan filing an affi davit similar to the declaration made by Lea & Perrins , on the other side , that the Invoices in question had fully covered the market value of the importation. The suit wna discontinued without costs , without payment of ono dollar by the Messrs. Dun can , and upon the motion of the govern ment's officers themselves. Lea & Perrln's Worcestershire sauce is apparently more p'opular than ever , and It is difficult for the manufacturers to keep up with the damand. New York Tribune August 18. Fnnernl of Mm. Dandy.

Anton Albert Inda , the policeman charged with the murder of Jamea Smith , was brought before the police court yester day to hear Judge Gordon's rulingon At torney Council's motion for his release on ball. The decision was that Inda could not be allowed to furnish ball. Judge Gordon explained at great length the circumstances on which ho based his opinion and when ho wound UD with the statement : "At this time there seems to be no other course than to refuse ball , " At torney Connell immediately arose nnd In sisted upon a preliminary hearing for his client. The date Is set for this mornIng - Ing nt 9 o'clock. Indn , in charge of Sergeant Wlsenberg , came Into the court room at 9 o'clock. County Attorney Shields and tha city prosecutor cuter , Mr. Council , were present , ready for Judge Gordon's decision. Before it was announced the two lawyers outlined their sides ot the cose. Judco Gordon said that the question of ball depended upon the evi dence. The law , he said , exacted that there must bo cither evident proof or great presumption ot Inda's cullt to warrant his being denied bail. The attorneys had n rhetorical skirmish over the question of presumption and then the judge proceeded to announce his opinion , Judge Gordon said the case was n curious one and that It came before him under peculiar circumstances. There was nothing before him , he said , but n complnlnt filed by the county attorney. The result of the inquest wns somewhat vague , and It the case was vague In the minds of the Jury , It was oven moro so In the mind of the court. In a great many states , the judge explained , a magistrate would not bo allowed to take bond under circumstances similar to these In which he was placed. After a moment's hesitation he ended by saying the only course apparently open to him was not to allow the prisoner to be released on ball. Attorney Connell Immediately asked for a preliminary hearing at the earliest mlnuto possible. Ho remarked to the court : "I have an Idea the court Is bound to hold Inda anyway. I want to get the evidence before you , get n hearing , and then try the case before another court. " In discussing a time for the hearing the county attorney 'wished the case held over for n few days. Attorney Connell protested against delay , saying ho objected against any policy that would keep Inda In jail. The time decided upon was Tuesday morning. The Hemming case , which was to have been heard then , will bo postponed to another date , as the judge said he believed a man in custody ought to have precedence in the matter of trial over ono who has his liberty. THIEVES ARE INDUSTRIOUS Overcoat , lllcyclc , Edibles ana Con tents of 11 Money Drawer Are Taken. S. Kerrschberg , a guest of the Metropoll- tnn hotel , has reported to the police the theft of a valuable overcoat which he left hanging on a peg In the toilet rooms ot the hostelry while having his shoes polished. The Midland Cycle company Is loklng for a nervy etranger who rented a wheel Sun day , giving his address ns 1405 North Eighteenth street. He said his name wns Frank Moore.

General Agent Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company , Omaha , Neb. Dear Sir : I have yours of the 19th Inst. giving resufts on my policy No. 192- 047. This policy Is a thirty-year endow ment with a ten-year distribution or seml- tontlne period , Issued September 2 , 1SS9 , at the age of 49. Annual premium , $477. I am now offered several options of settlement , one of which is cash. Reserve guaranteed in policy $2,478.50 And surplus 1,885.43 Total cash value $4.363.93 Which , should I surrender the policy , would have given mo $10,000 insurance from ago 49 to nge 69 for $406.07. That the cash value should be over 76 per cent in excess of what the company guaranteed ten years ngo , nnd $139.93 more than the estimate you gave mo when you took my application , is a surprise to me. I have for many years carried the larg est amount of life Insurance of any citizen of Nebraska and hold policies in nearly all the leading companies. But the Northwest ern has on ttils , aswell as other policies I hofd In lyoiu * ' company , given me by Tar the best resillts. I attribute 'y'&ur company's success largely to its stfpdrlor method of investing its funds and'careful selection of risks. Yours very truly , B. ROSEWATER.

Redlon , city attorney of Lead , S. D. , Is In the city for a brief visit while en route to Chicago. Mr. Ilcdlon has been an nctlvo figure In politics In the Black Hlns for several years nnd In speaking of the situation there , said : "The Black Hills region In general , and Lawrence county , In which Deadwood and Lead arc situated , In particular , takes eomo peculiar notions In politics. Bryan carried the entire district In ' 1896 by an overwhelming vote , but It has I since developed that the minors , who com- j pose a largo portion of the population , did I not vote for him so much because they be lieved In the theories advocated by him , but for the reason that they hoped If free silver I should carry It would result In the opening j up of many of the western elrver mines I and the consequent furnishing of work to | many miners then out of employment. It' ' was purely n sympathetic question -with them. Well , In the campaign nf 1898 wo had not become so familiar with the tru status of the affair as we arc now , nnd th fuslonlsts believed that they would carr Lawrence county by n big majority. I wa placed on the ticket an a candidate fo county judge , representing the free silvo wing , but to the surprise of an of us there was a most doclded change nnd In stead of n large fusion majority , every re publican , with one or two exceptions , was elected by an overwhelming vote , nnd I wen down to defeat with the rest of the fusion Ists. Wo discovered then that the miners were not so much for free sliver as w had believed , and as Mr. Bryan was led to believe when he made n Jaunt through tha country In 1896. "This year there Is another remarkable change In the political situation In the Hills nnd the several thousand silver republican ! who went off with the fuslonlsts on the money question have come to the couclu alon that the silver Issue Is no longer para mount. With the good times resulting from the republican administration , the miners who were Idle In 'DG arc either encaged now In mining or some other equally remuncra tlvo employment , nnd there Is no longer a sympathetic feeling In favor of opening the silver mines. Besides this the silver republicans are expansionists. They believe In the principles which will undoubtedly bo expounded by the republican platform re gardlng our new possessions , and as n resul they will to a man , almost , vote with the republican party nnd no longer flit after the false gx > d of silver. " Mr. Rcdlon reports a marked Improveraen along lines other than political In the Black Hills at this time. Mining operations are 'being carried on extensively and there Is an air of prosperity and advancement per vading the entire region.
