ALL ROADS SATISFIED v WITH RESULTS Nortkweitcra and KIlwMkM Do Hat Participate la Flre-DaUar Rata, bat Haul Lars Orawda, KaTcrthalcsa, Aooordloa to railroad fflclals' statements some 11,000 people took advantage today of the 5 round trip Chicago excursion rates over the Burlington. Illinois Central, Great Weatern and Rock lalund. This does not Include those who went over .the Milwaukee which ad hered to the 119 fare, or those who went directly to Milwaukee to the convention of the Itfodern Woodmen of America, the provocation of the rate fight, over the Northwestern, which did not participate la the $6 rata lloth Milwaukee and North western officials say they had all the traffic they could handle. "Chicago or bust" seemed to be the cry of the thousands that swarmed into the stations Saturday to take advantage of the IS rate to Chicago and return. The largest rueh was at the Burlington station, whon the three sections of tbe morning train went out. Strategy was required to All the cars, as all seemed to want to go on the first section. By throwing box cars across the tracks to keep the people from the other sections the officials were able to load ha 1.700 people whom these three trains ear- rlud. Eatra Help Reaalraof. Extra ticket sellers were required In all of the local offices. The Rock Island ran out of tickets and sold all that could be borrowed from Council Bluffs and from the depot. Assistant general passenger agent of the B. M..k J. E. Buckingham, aald be thought It a conservative estimate to say the Burlington would haul Saturday on its ten sections of the regular trains between T.000 and i.000 people from Omaha and Ne braska. The last section of the morning train picked up luO passengers at Flatti mouth. ' W. H. Brill, district passenger agent of the Illinois Central, had a smile that will last forever, lie said his road hauled 600 passengers on the early train, U on tho special which left at 15 p. m. and K0 mote on the evening train. Superintendent Jones of the Illinois Ceo tral was la the city overlooking the train service and said ha was proud of the show lng his road had tuade, first because of the kwga number who were accommodated In tourist rars; second, because the train Started from Omaha exactly on tune, and, third, because of a message he had Just re ceived from Woodbine statins that the train was running right on the dot. The Milwaukee adhered to the HO rate to Chicago and return and Eugene Duvall said the road had all the business It eould handle. All of the sleepers that could be bad were filled as fast as, brought to Omaha. Nortfcvrestern to Milwaukee. i The Northwestern did not participate In the $5 rate to Chicago, but hauled most of the Woodmen business to Milwaukee from the state. These trains were not run through Omaha, but. were sent through Fremont and Missouri Valley. The trafflo will not be hauled through Chicago at all, but will be switched off at DeKalb for Mil waukee. The entire Woodmen official staff and battalions from Lincoln, Crete, Madi son, Fremont and Norfolk went over this road. The Northwestern had about 180 passen gers from Omaha to Milwaukee that the Union Pacific and other roads from the state turned over to It here. District Passenger Agent Rutherford of the Rock Island said he had received word from the Council Bluffs agent of the road that 1,000 people had left on the morning train, and he said he expected his road would handle 1.600 from Qmaha and Coun cil Bluffs In addition to those who were hauled from the state. City Ticket Agent Davidson said the Chi cago Great Western had 160 people for Chi cago on - the morning train and about 30C more on the two afternoon trains. women of the burnt district to appear on the highways other than In approved rai ment and their right minds.

The Nebraska pavilion and corn palace In the Agricultural building at the exposition Is In reality the state headquarters for the Nebraska commission, visiting Nebraskans and sight-seers. Tbe pavilion itself was designed by Thomas R. Kimball of Omaha, a member of the board of architects for the St. Louis exposition. It Is Italian In Its style of architecture, resembling a sum mer villa, surrounded by a colonade. Tbe color scheme U chocolate and burnt orange, producing a striking effect. Hera are to be found reception rooms for visitors, read ing room with the latest newspapers from Nebraska, easy chairs and settees and all conveniences for the comfort of visitors. The center of the building Is occupied by a little theater, seating over 100 persona where hourly moving picture exhibitions are given. Illustrating the resources of the state. Ten sets of hlms are shown, each representing some Industry of Nebraska. One depicts the life of the farmer from early sowing time through the corn plant ing, harvesting and haying season, the orcharding period to corn picking In the fall. Another series represents the cattle Industry, from the feed lot to the stock yards, and the packing houses of South Omaha. Another series show cattle scenes upon the ranches in tbe western part of the state, the growth of alfalfa, the poultry and dairy life, the raising of sugar beets and manufacture of the product Into sugar. A number of the Alms show scenes taken at the State fair and the Ak-Sar-Ben fes tivities at Omaha. One of the most notable pictures Is that of the late President Mo Klnley at tbe Transmlsslsslppl exposition at Omaha. This Is one of the very few moving pictures of the late president in existence. These moving picture exhibi tions, which are free, are now attended dally by hundreds of people and are creating the same enthusiasm that they produced at St. Louis last summer. In this Nebraska pavilion is also exhib ited a magnificent display of corn. Over eighty-one varieties of field Corn, sweet corn, popcorn and flint corn are shown In all their various colorings. In addition to this display of corn the Nebraska commis sion has also Installed an exhibit of the very best sheaf and threshed grains foond in the state and a collection of grasses numbering over 1(9 varieties. Nebraska won over 600 medals on Its agricultural produets at St. Louis last year and proposes to give ths competing state at the Lewis-Clark exposition a hard run for their awards. It Is already conceded that In corn and native grasses WESTON ON THE SENATORSHIP Former State Aedltor Doea Not Say Definitely Whether He Is Candidate or Not. "I really am not In much notion Just now of running for anything," was the reply of former State Auditor Weston when asked If he was a candidate for United States senator. "I am trying to pick up the odds and ends of my private business affairs, which have become greatly scattered since my advent as an officeholder," he added. "I think there will be plenty of candidates for senator, though; It looks that way uow." Mr. Weston came In from his home at Hay Springs to take the train for Chicago to visit his daughter there. Nebraska will have everything Its own way, while It will be a close competitor for all kinds of small grains. In the center of the Nebraska exhibit room Is the mounted hide of the champion prise steer of the world, Challenger. This animal won tho its awards at the Interna tional Stock show In Chicago over com petitors from all parts of the world as the fines type of beef steer shown. The sale of Its meat and its many prizes ag gregated H.00Q to the University of Ne braska, which exhibited, the animal as an example of what proper feeding of bal anced rations will do In fattening cattle. - The Nebraska commission Is planning to entertain a great number of visitors from tbe state during the next few weeks. Dur ing the present week over 300 lumbermen will attend the exposition and be enter tained in the Nebraska theater. The lat ter part of the month a large number of the delegates of the National Good Roads convention will arrive. The dele gates appointed by the governor of Ne braska for this convention are as follows: John Grant, George W. Craig, George L. Com pen. W. P. Freeman. William Ernst, H. K. Burket. Henry T. Clarke, Major T. S. Clarkson. R. O. Douglas, H. M. De trick, H. O. Shedd, George L. Loomls, Wil liam P. Warner, A. J. Webb, John A. Wakefield, W. A. A r person, L. A. Varner, H M. Bushnell, L. C.

The argument was opened by C. C. Wright for the Water board, who stated that the purpose of tbe production of the books and records of the water company was to ascertain the number of gallons 1 of water pumped dally, the amount of water furnished Omaha and South Omaha . consumers and the amounts paid for tbe same by meter measurement; the cost of . pumping per thousand gallons, etc. Mr. Wright further maintained that the motion of the water company to prevent the Water board from consulting the water company's books Is premature, because of having been made before the answer was ' nied.
