PREVIOUS AGREEMENT IS EVIDENT Hricliiirnt Dlstriliii tnl Vmioiik Differ ent Honda oil n I'rurtleally Kiiil tahle llusls Movement Hi-irlus This rck. Bids (or the transportation of the Sixth cavalry from the various western posts wherein its troops are now located to the Philippines wrre opened simultaneously at local headquarters of the Department of the Missouri and at St. Louis Saturday. The bids wore uniform to an extent that war rants the opinion that the railroads hud previously agreed upon a division of the business and It was distributed to the va rious roads on practically an equitable basis. "The party rate question did not enter into the matter." said an interested army official, "either on 'h- par? oi the railroads In making their bids or by tho army olnclals In awarding the contracts. It may be noted. however, that In each case the railroad awarded a portion of the traffic will re reive a revenue which, after deducting the land grant, will be lower than the party rate were it applied Independently of the land grant deduction. The party rate phase of the matter was npurently avoided owing to the fact that the courts are now con sidering the relation of the party rate In Us application to previous soldier business which the railroads have, carried." The movement of the Sixth cavalry will begin as sson as the railroads can provide, equipment, which will probably be some time this week. The-Tact that the troop com posing the Sixth are scattered among the several western posts made it at, eaity mat ter fo- the railroads competing for the business to get a proportional Hike. Inas much as the distribution was so made that each railroad secured tb movement of the troopj originating at the post local to its Hue. The entire Sixth cavalry will be trans ported to fan Francisco, where the troops will embark for tho Philippines. The ani mate, other than the horses assigned to each cavalryman, will be taken to Portland, thence to embark on transport for Manila. The Union Pacific will carry the headquar ters and one troop from Fort Riley via Ogden. Two troops from Fort Leavenworth will be carried by the Missouri. Kansas & Texas and the Union Pacific. The Rock Island gets two troops from Fort 3211. and tho Missouri Pacific one troop from Jeffer Bon Barracks. The Rock Island will also provide transportation for an escort and 133 animals from Fort Sill to Portland, and the MUsourl Pacific will carry an e:ort and 221 nnimals from Jefferson Barracks to Port land. bg.it i:ri i:imrs fizat ix iowa.

ICO WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. MAKING PLANS FOR FALL Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to Givo Omaha aa Oriental Week. EXTENSION OF TIME IS SUGGESTED If Mnsle Lovers of th- City Will Assist the Hoard it Hnntl nt .'Na tional Ilcputatlon Will ric Emtngcil. The followers of the Sheik Ak-Sar-Ben continue to grow In number. Last night 1 nuy more pilgrims unutnra ai me iiiu gates for admission and they were taken In and made welcome. It was a real large 1 night, everything considered, and the thirty odd pilgrims who had traveled through the waste places that lie between the tents of ' the shtek and the metropolis of South Omaha wero glad that they camo and sorry j that they had deferred their coming so long. It muy not be amiss to suggest in this connection that there are others who are m.'sslng a good thing right along, and thut the sooner they get Into the game the quicker they will be In It. Innovations continue to be made. List j night when the uninitiated were inductel ' Into the inner court of the temple they were refreshed and prepared mentally, spirit- ' ually and nervously for what was coming by an overture from Wagner, magnificently played by a number of the musically In clined followers of sheik. It didn't sound a whole lot like Wagner, but it was nevertheless, for it was so printed on the bills. The only hitch In the whole ceremony as when one of the animals that have made South Omaha famous became so elated at what was going on that he broke forth in a paroxysm of laughter, which dis turbed the solemn rites that are enacted whenever a gang of neophytes Is being con ducted through the sacred mysteries. It was some moments before the animal rscov ered Its composure sufficiently to en.ble the sheik to finish his words of warning an l exhortation but it finally succeeded In te- pressing Its mirth and there was no fur- ther interruption. The other exercises werj varied by a number of songs by members j efforts succeeded in extending the repre ot the tribe, a recitation and speeches fiom sentaUon to New York and other eastern two gentlemen high in its councils. Pinna for Fall Festivities. Previous to the meeting the board cf governors held a session, at which several plans for the fall festivities were dis- cussed. It as decided to make these strictly oriental in character and to select all the amusement features with this plan in mind. Details have not yet been per- . . ... .. . Anmn1i,,uf, footed but the amusement committee s working hard at present and will saon ba gent people of the west will follow the re able to mako detailed announcement. Oa suit of the ballot as an Index of the weight Wednesday of the week of the festlvtilcs ' of tho west In shaping opinion In that ven- there will be a daylight parade, louowen on Thursday night by the most magnificent demonstration ever seen on the streets of Omaha. Friday night the granu Ban wm occur. The impression that seems to prevail in some quarters that the board of govern ors is wholly at sea regarding the character of the entertainment to be offered is wholly without foundation. Plans have bstn wrought out with care and the amusament committee Is now selecting the attractions. Up to date more than seventy-five of these have been offered and a selection win be made from tho best. In some quarters there Is a growing Idea that one week is not long enough for th3 celebration and It Is quite possible that an effort will be made to have a preliminary entertainment of at least two weeks, during which time some band of national reputition will bo engaged to give nightly and after noon concerts In some central location, prob ably on the vacant space between Farnam and Dodge streets. This will nec?ssltat9 an ndded expense, which the board of gcv crnors do not feel warranted lp assura'rg, and It has been proposed that coupon books for twenty-five concerts be placed on sale at the price of $5 each, good for any time and each one entitling the holder to a seat. It Is believed that these will be frco'y taken by the Jobbers for distribution among their country customers, many of wlnm will no doubt be In the city. The coupons will en title the bearer to admission to any one of these concerts. Mutter I p to the Pnhlle. So far as the board of governors Is con cerned the matter Is up to the public. If it wishes to have the opportunity of hear ing one of thu finest musical organ'zatlons In the country It will only bo necessary for It to purchase between S00 and 1.000 of these counon books, and the band will be necu-ed.

HARVARD MEN IN THE WEST Crndnnten Who Lire Out Here Kjtrt Their liitltirnce In Uorern Inn Umly. Unusual interest of Harvard graduates In Omaha Is being manifested by the annual election for overseen of the university by the vote of the Alumni within a few days.

FARMERS LOSE HEAVILY Market inrdeners Huve Their Crops tlmnst Totally Destroyed by Hall Last Saturday. Small farmers and market gardeners liv ing on west Center street near Ruser's park suffered heavily as the result of Saturday's storm. Hail stones driven by the terrliuc wind razed the vegetation and growing crops of a number of fanners anil the com bined loss will be considerable. Claus Matthles. one of the victims of the storm. lost twenty acres of oats and vegetables and estimates his loss at $2,000. "Tho wind did the work," said Mr. Matthles. "The hall stones were not so large, but the wind drove them right through the pie plant, cauliflower, cabbages and every thing I had. Two thousand lights in my greenhouse were broken. All of tho gar deners In my neighborhood suffered a total Ions of their crops and It was especially bad because before tho storm all of them were In such a flourishing condition." A Printer fireHtly Snrprlseil. "I never was so much surprised In my life," says Henry T. Crook, pressman of the Ashevllle (N. C.) Gazette, "as I waa with the results of using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

Mrs. Jane Mltchle complains In district ' court that she has eutrusied her all, amount- Ing to $700, to Bishop Mclnturff and fears j that her generosity was indiscreet. She aski that the court grant her a judgment for th i i amount wnn interest since r eoruary -v. In her petition Mrs. Mltchlo statos that upon tho death of h?r husband. Andrew. In 1S93 she became possessed of $1,000 life In- f surance. She was a devout believer in Christianity, she says, and held the firm opinion that ministers of, the gospal "wero absolutely perfect and without sin, gull or dissimulation.'' Mrs. Mitchie believed thut a minister would be a shield of protec tion to the helple.sj widows and orphans In the church. Such was Mrs. Mltchle'n opinion when Blshon Mclnturff of tho Peonies United ' ! church came from Spokane. Wash., to preach In the pulpit of Rev. C. W. Savidge. He became possessed of Information regarding her small fortune, she saya. and at once be gan his machinations to win the money. His discourse took the direction of rendering up one's worldly gooi't, to the Lord and ho laid especial emphasis upon the giving of tha tenth part of one's wealth. Mrs. Mltchlo was moved by the ;rppeal and asked the minister If ho though she should give the church a tithe of her $1,000. "Yes, if you came by that money on an lnsuranco policy on your husbsnd's llfo you owe the tenth thereof to the Lord and it is your duty to pay It to the church for God." Bishop Mclnturff Is said to have replied. Mrs. Mltchle says she then surrendered $100 leaving her $900. A short time afterward Mrs. Mltchle sny. the hishop so sffertel he by his pleading that she gave another $100 to tho church, leaving her $800. Early In February, tho petition says, th-s bishop approached tha widow In "hurch and presented the needs of his congregation In Spokane. On the showing made by tin bishop Mm. Mltchle tays she gave over to tho prelate $700 of her resources, leaving $100. The loan was secured by the signa tures of Bishop Mclnturff and his deacons, which Mrs. Mltchle now believes to have been Inadequate. Mrs. Mltchle calls aticn tion of the peculiar wording cf the five-year note, the promise being to pay 7 per csn' "from maturity until note U paid."
