rightly used , not allowed to go tohor parents ,
etc. In this connection she was influenced to
leave the bands. Her father was greatly sur

"Anna Is here. Conlo quick and got her. "
This was the first intimation ho had that any
thing was wrong nnd it was not until ho re
ceived another message saying "Anna has

that her watch , money , etc. , were taken from

portant Consolidation.
Cmcvoo , July 1. [ Special Telegram to
TUB II in : . ] Eastern nnd western railroad
ofllclals will gather in Chicago tomorrow in
different meetings , but with tlio one object ol
raising rales. From numerous expressions
of opinion It Is safe to say that the meeting
for the restoration of eastern rates will be
nearly or quite a Hat failure.
At the present Juncture It will bo impos
sible to cither advance dressed meat or cattle
rates or to reduce the mllcago oa refrigerator
car to the figure of J o a mile. Up to data
the losses by these reductions is nearly
$100,000 to the Chicago cast bound lines , but
they have not yet fought to n finish.
In tlio west the situation is but little , II
any. brighter. The Alton will vote in favor
of tholtoi3pcrcciitadvanco ( ) ! tothoold basis ,
provided It can bo assured the rates will not bu
manipulated. In view of the fact that all
western presidents pledged themselves to
strictly maintain rates after May 19 , and the
equally undisputed fact that rates are today
being secretly cut as freely ns In the palmiest
of antl-lntcrstato commerce act days , no ono
is able to formulate a guarantee 'of stable
rates.
The committee on advancing rates-
Messrs. Newman , Bird and Sago met today
and prepared their llnal report for tomorrow's '
mass meeting of all western lines. The re
port includes two propositions. The first is
to advance all rates to the old basis , CO cents ,
locally , to St. Paul , with propositions of
through sales low enough to meet lake com
petition and 75 cent local basis to the Mis
souri , shading the rates lower at Sioux City ,
where tlio northern competition Is felt.
Thoothor proposition is do as above with
rates to Missouri , but to make n10 cent local
bisls : to St. Paul , with the understanding that
St. Paul lines running west of Missouri ig
nore the long and short haul clause.
Important Consolidation.
ATCIIISO.V , Kan. , July 1. [ Special Tele

has consolidated the interstate and the St.
Louis & Emporla roads as the Interstate rail
way company. It is a line 101 miles long ,
from Butler to Madison , Kan. The company
is getting ready to consolidate all its Kansas
and Nebraska lines and part of the Missouri
Pacific system.
Tlio interstate consolidation was perfected
In advance on account of a certain mortgage
necessity , but it will soon lose its nauio in the
general consolidation. A law was passed by
the Kansas legislature in 1883 in aid of this pro
ject , but the consolidation has been delayed on
account of the St. Louis , Fort Scott and
Wichita litigation. This is now about settled
and all the branch lines and extensions west
of the Missouri rlvor will bo in law , nnd in
fact , a part of the parent system.

A Minority Ilcport .Submitted by Hep
roflcntntlro Admit * .
WASmxoToy , July 1. Heprescnlntlvi
Adams of Illinois today submitted n minority
report dissenting 'from the views of the ma
Jorlty of the committee on judiciary committee
too upon the bill intended as a substltuto foi
the senate original package bill. Adanu
bellevMtho substitute would , If enacted , reverse
verso the wise national policy of n unlforn
regulation of foreign and InlorstiUo coin
moreo. To surrender the exercise of the
power of congress to regulate commerce It
the legislatures of the several states , the
report argue. ? . Is to defeat the main purpose
of its creation. This Is thu vlco ol
the seimlo bill. It Is tenfold the vice
of the substltuto. It tends to undo tlio most
Important work that win done when the
union was formed. Congress ought not tc
delegate the discharge of thin duty to any
state leglHlaluro whatever. Adams says few
outside of prohibition deny tha , the sale ol
intoxicating liquors nt retail ought to bo
regulated by Htuto laws or municipal ordi
nances. If tills ovll has arisen the remedy
is simple nnd easy of application. Congress
can define the original package in which In
toxicating liquors fan bo Imported Into n
utato. Such legislative definition would at
oueo render Imjxwslblo the establishment ol
the fco-cnllcd original package saloon , the
only serious evil which can possibly nriso out
of the recent decision of the supreme court.

been such a largo and Important f-atborlng ot
the carl } * settlers within tlio boarders of Ne
braska as that which will bo hold at the
historical grounds of Bellevue on the coming
Fourth of July. Around Bellevue cluster
memories ot till tiio trials nnd privations that
characterize the early history of our grand
nnd growing stato. It was at liellovno where
so many crossed the "Big Muddy" and began
the building of fortune for themselves and
fame for the state. Thcro It was that the
pioneer and the aboriginal in common were
under the protection of martial law.
It was at Bellevue where In the
early days these early settlers held their
basket picnics , at which time dried apple pio.i
were "legal tender. "
And now on the Fourth of July are tiioso
early settlers and their descendants and
friends coming back with their baskets to
Bellov uo "to enjoy for a day what for years
they endured , " and it will bo a fellowship
nnd social commingling on a grander seal u
than it Is ono'n privilege ottcn to enjoy. This
occasion will bo remarkable for its social fea
tures friend aicctingfriend and on this ac
count will long bo remembered.

tlio "Omaha'1 Indians , James A. Jackson ,
Judge Larimer , J. Sterling Morton , General

nor Abbott , .loiinT. Town , Herman Kbuntzo ,
General Brooke and start' , General Wheaten
and staff , ex-Mayor Boyd , ox-Mayor Broateh ,
Mayor Cashing and many other prominent
people.
Bellevue always beautiful never looitcd
moro lovely than now , and her groves will
furnish a charming retreat and a haven of
rest for all who may bo present on this occa
sion. Scats and tallies have been prepared
throughout the grove , wells have boon dug
affording plenty of good , cool water , and
everything has been done with a view to
affording case and comfort to all who attend ,
no matter how gruat the number may bo.
Bands will discourse music throughout the
day and all ono will have to regret will bo
that the day is not longer.
Ucllovuo is on tlio IJ. & M. railroad a few
miles south of South Omaha , and aniplo fa
cilities will bo furnished by tlio railroads for
people from Omaha to visit the place , If only
for a small portion of the day.
It Is expected that all who dcslro will at
tend and invite their friends to accompany
them.
Thcro will bo Fourth of July picnics in
countless number , but scarcely baa then-
boon and seldom will there bo such an enjoy
able ono ns that which will bo held at Belle.
vtio next Friday.
