Hunkers Say Tlioy Will Nut Advanets a
( .cut on It.
Cmo.uio , July 2Special ( \ [ Telegram to
Tun Hit : : . ] A local railway news bureau
says : There lias not been an action of rail
roads In years which 1ms attracted such
widespread attention as the Central Trnfllc
nnd Trunk Lines associations to issue a now
bill of lading on nnd after
August 1. On the part of the ship
pers and bankers the opposition seemed
perfectly unanimous at yesterday's meeting ,
Itoprcse'ntatlvcs of the boards of trade of
fourteen of tlio principal cities west of the
Allcglienles were present , und all united In
urging the continuance of the present hill of
lading , or preferably a change In form which
would simply show a receipt for the shipment
nud an agreement to transfer It to Its desti
nation.
A fair sample of the opinions expressed Is
that of Commissioner Iglehnrtof the Chicago
freight bureau , an organization of Chicago
merchants which Is recoml/.cil ns the central
power In nil tilings relating to their interests.
Said Mr. Jglelmrt this morning : "Woobject
to the proposed bill of lading , In the
llrst plncu becuuso it is Illegal in every
one of Its cloven complicated sections. It
Is an attempt on the part of the railroads to
limit their liability as common carrlors.which
liability has been finally and legally estab
lished by repeated decisions of our supreme
courU. Itvlll create serious and extremely
injurious disturbances In present business
methods ,
"Every bank In Chicago whoso opinion
lias been asked , forty-one banks in ISos-
ton alone , bcsido hundreds of other
banks , say they will not ndvanco a cent on
the proposed bill of lading , It is impossible
to estimate the Immense restriction that
would in consequence bo put upon trade. It
would absolutely crowd out of business every
shipper who could not ndvanco the full equiv
alent of Ids shipment in cash. In other words ,
only the jxtrcmclv rich men could con
tinue. It.ould bo no time ut all before
all the grain shipments of the west would be
In the hands of a very few men.
"Thousands of small shippers everywhere
would be forced out of business , competition
stilled mid the farmers would be nt the mercy
of only ono or two , or at the most half a
dozen shippers , who would bo in a position to
cxuct any price they saw lit. The new
bill of lading also exacts a higher
rate when goods are taken nt the risk of the
carrier. On the testimony of VIce President
Thompson of tbo Pennsylvania , the intcr-
Htato commerce commission decided that nUO
cent rate on corn , Chicago to New York , is a
reasonable rate. Of course tills took Into
consideration the present legal risk of trans
portation.
"The now bill of lading provides that if the
carriers take tlio risk of transportation tlio
commodity shall take the rate of the
next higher class. In thcj case
of corn this would bo fifth class , with a rate
of 3t ) ( uiiita. Tuo proposition Is ridiculous.
The railroads claim 'that the words 'not
negotnlilo' printed in largo letters across the
face ot the bill are thereto protect them
from the operation of the law in New York
ttnd Pennsylvania. State laws apply ulono testate
state or local shipments mid the roads pro
pose to revolutionise the present methods of
ronnncrco and drive out of business
fully lO.WJO shippers to protect local tralllo in
New York and Pennsylvania. Tlio Idea Is
absurd ,
"Tho representatives of the shippers unani
mously passed a resolution asking tlio rail
roads to postpone putting the bill of hiding
into effect until a full hearing has been had.
Ono hundred and ono railroads nnd the Now
York produce exchange have approved the
bill of lading and as far as we know it will go
I . into effect August 1. Duttho battle tins only
I fe . begun nnd a committee of sixteen has been
appointed which will secure the co-operation
of every objector to the plan. "
Vice President Lyman J. Gape of the First
National bank , the largest west of Now
York , saidI : have not. examined the pro
posed bill of lading carefully , but
have done so to the extent of saying
'
'that the First National will not ad-
vnnco mouoy on It. Its enforcement
bv the railroads will work great hardship on
nil but the wealthiest shippers. "
VIce President Blair of the Mel-chants'
National bunk said : "Tho now bill of lading
would make questionable security. No ono
could pet innneyon it who could not get money
without it. "
President Dewey of the American Ex
change hank , and a prominent olllcinl of four
other banks , expresses the saino sentiments.

Sioux F.ai.S. , . D. , July ! . > ( ) . [ Special
Telegram to Tin : Hni : . ] L. 1C. Leo , pro
prietor of the Valley Springs roller mills , is
In deep trouble. Leo has a big plant at Val
ley Springs , six miles from this city an ele
vator and n mill worth TiO,000. A
year ago It was clear ; today It
was turned over to the Peavoysof Allnnc-
upolls , and Mr , Leo languishes behind the
burs on the charge of embezzlement. This
condition of things Is owing to Mr. Leo's do-
slro to gamble on the fluctuation of the
wheat market. The preliminary trial came
off this morning. It seems that tliu farmers
about his mill trusted Implicitly in Mr. Leo's
honesty , and stored their grain in his ele
vator , taking storage receipts. Thousands 0of
bushels were taken lust fall and spring by
Mr. Leo. When the mill and elevator was
taken In by the Pcaveys the marvellous dis
covery was made that they were empty. The I
farmers have been pouring in trying to llnd
M.ixb.oro their grain had gone , but Mr , Leo's
only answer is : "I don't know. "

An Express Messenger Jailed on a Serious
Charge.
HE TELLS HIS SIDE OF THE STORY ,
lint If Tails to Coincides With 'Xlint
of n MlNHottrl Sheriff In n
Number of Material
Ke-upcoH.
it. V. Pugsley , n railway express agent for
\Vells-Fargo express company , was ur-
rencd and locked up In the county jail nt 0
o'clock Friday evening by a deputy sheriff
on u.telcgruni from Plattsburg , Mo.charging ,
him with beluga fugitive from Justice.
The prisoner Is ubout thirty-eight or forty
years old , of large and rugged build and has a
very frank , honest-appearing face. His voice
trembled and tears came Into his eyes when
solicited for a statement of his case so far ns
ho knew it.
In substance his story was this :
Up to within about a year ago and for moro
than twenty-live years his business lias been
that of n stockman , with about $10,000 worth
of property und living upon a farm adjoining
Uluttsbiirg In Missouri. Many years njcoho
married into the family of P. H. Shoemaker.
a money leader of Plaltsburg. Six or eight
years ago ho and his wife took an orphan girl
named Dora Corrlgun to raise. The girl was
good and attractive and Piigsley nnd his
wlfo became very much attached to
her. treating her like a daughter. According
to the prisoner the Shoemakers are quite u
iroud family and frequently commented to
the effect that to their mind ft would bo more
becoming for their and
daughter son-in-law
to treat the girl moro ns a servant than as a
daughter , and charged that tlio daughterly
favors shown to the girl wore duo nioro to
I'ugsluy than his wife.
Mutters went on until the Shoemakers had
worked up a great deal of feeling on the sub
ject , although Pugsloy thought that ho and
Ids wlfo know their business butter than the
dwellers neatli tlio paternal roof and disre
garded the talk of the old folks.
When feeling on the matter was at its
heightli , or less than two years ago , Pugsley
says that ho was visited by a serious reverse
In business , and says thai by fire , flood , otc , ,
ho lost everything he had. This sort of a
turn In alfairs seemed to have been Just what
the Shoemaker. ) were designing. They got
around their daughter and held up pictures of
poverty and allegations of her husband's ' per
fidy which they claimed to have proved by
Investigations made by Mrs. Pugsley's
brother , Dr. Shoemaker , in connection with
tbo orphan girl , and finally succeeded in af
fecting at least a temporary separation.
With his properly gone and his homo
broken up , Pugsloy says he thought the best
thing for him to do was to go awnv and try to
get n new startln life.
Coming to Nebraska , whcro lie says ho has
a very wide acquaintance among leading
stockmen , ho secured a position as messenger
with the wells-Farso express company , and
during this tlmo has been running on the I ) ,
it M. , on the Sei-lbnur route , afterward at
Fremont , nnd recently in this city.
Since leaving Missouri and securing em
ployment with the express company Pugsley
says he has been in constant correspondence
with his wife ; that she hat decided to re
sume her place by his side , and that all ar
rangements were made for her to coino to
Onniliii. and live with him about August 1.
IIo now supposes that the knowledge of this
fact has caused the revival of hostilities on
the part of her folks.
Asldo from the fact of the old folks be
coming Jealous of Pugsley and his wife's
trcutlnir Dora , tlio orphan girl , us an own
daughter , there is another , iminoly , that Mrs.
Pugsloy will soon become heir to considera
ble property from the paternal side nnd her
parents want to forestall the possibility of
any of that property ever going to the orphan.
Immediately upon his arrest Pugsloy in
formed Sheriff Doyd that he would go back
without making any trouble whatever as to
requisition papers. The sheriff telegraphed
this fact to the Missouri authorities mid re
ceived mi answer that an oflleor would
coino hero to take tbo prisoner b.iok.
Sheriff IJunlutt arrived last night and at
once proceeded to the Jail , whcro ho met
PuRsley. who broke down and exclaimed j
"Burk , the jig Is up , and 1 guess I am booked
for the pen. "
Later In the evening the sheriff was seen
and saiu : "That story about Pugsloy's re
verses is all bnsli. IIo has been as fortunate
ns the majority of men , und until ho got Into
that trouble with the girl , whoso right name
is Grace Waters , ho was as higtily respected
as any man In our comity.
"Pugsloy's trouble was all brought upon
\ilmself , nnd there can bo no doubt but that
ho has been criminally Intimate with his
adopted daughter , ns a year ago last summer
ho took her to another town nnd staid there
several weeks. "
The girl in tin ) case Is sharp , ai.d knowing
that Pupsloy was indicted last Septemborsho
has carefully kept herself secreted , knowing
that if the case ever went to trial she would
bo wanted ns a witness.
Sheriff Burkett and his prisoner will depart
for Missouri this morning , and after the lat
ter is securely lodged In lull the sheriff will
turn Ills attention towards locating the
whereabouts of Graeo Waters , which willnot
boa dilllcult tusk , as last night ho secured a
clue that will help him very materially in his
search.

Grievances o I'Union 1'aclflo Employes
ID be Coiihhlercil Other NOWH.
Chief Clark of the conductors' brother
hood will bo In Omaha next week and take
up certain matters requiring adjustment be
tween General Manapcr Bnnkerlioft and
Union Pacific employes. It Is claimed by
Missouri river division trainmen , especially
those running on the Oinatin and North
Plutto district that the agreement entered
Into last year by Vice President Holcomb
with the grievance committo is being grossly
violated in many instances. The most serious
it
ous complaint alleges that instead of get
ting cloven miles an hour for over
time ns the contract stipulates , eight Is about
the average allowance. Against this the men
enter very strong protests nnd demand nu ini
vestigation. Instances were cited by n con :
ductor yesterday showing how things are
being managed and what may bo expected .
unless the company manifests some disposi
tion to remedy matters. Said ho : "Tho
scheduled freight run from Onitiha to Grand
Island Is twelve hours. Very frequently cir
cumstances require eighteen hours to mnko
it. AVhy t Well , you see a train gets laid out
at some way station , aud probably has to wait
there as much us five or six hours for another
train going in the opposite direction
to pass. This is generally done
through the ineompetenoy or Ignorance
of a dispatcher , Here is what I mean : The
conductor of a west-bound train receives
orders at Chirks to moct an east-bound train
at Hummel , He gets there , sidetracks and
waits an hour. No signs of the other train.
There is no telegraph onieo tUHutnmol. The
east-bound train is live hours behind time.
Having no knowledge of this faet , however ,
the west-bound train dare not attempt to
make the next station. Therefore , it is also
thrown back. For the time thus wasted ,
however , the crow is supposed to draw pay ut
the rate of cloven miles uu hour , but wo luivo
not In everv cnso of the kind been
getting that much. Chief Conduc
tor Clark and the grievance committee ,
have been notified of all violations they pro
pose to bring them before General Manager
llrinkerhotf , and will do It Just as soon as Mr. [
Clark gets through settling Satun To troubles
at Topokn.
"Hut this Is not all.Yo have other serious
complaints. AVheu the now agreement was
formulated Mr , Holcomb hud , among other
provision , what wo cull the chain gang rule
for crows Incorporated ; that Is , Jlrst in first
oat. You see there are two trains , Xos. IB
and 2S , that make fast time , as fast nearly as
any of the passenger trains , and the conduct
ors running them receive f ittl a month , Hr n
these , two ll.vers , Trainmaster Foley per :
sists In disobeying that rule. IIo ras
favorites on the road who invariably
get the best of everything. Wo propose to
square accounts with Mr. Fotoy. The policy
observed In milking promotions Is not IIn
factory either , New , young and Inexperien
ced men have been nns
given passenger trains
over the heads of plenty of old-timers nud
who nro perfectly competent and have good
records. I know that all freight conductors
are not capable of ruunuig passenger trains , I
but they should bo given an opportunity
when ono occurs to try It. If they fall It Is
an any matter to relegate them where they
belong. I don't anticipate any serlcus
trouble , but you caii bet there will bo some
loud talking. "
Ii Still a .Mystery.
The real object of President Adams' visit
to Omaha r.t this particular tlmo U stilt n

closely closeted with Vieo President Hoi-

A Itcmnrkablo Operation.
The forthcoming number of the American
Clinic contains an account of n remarkable
operation ' performed by an Omaha physician.
The sub'stancc of the article , after elimi
nating a multitude of technical terms , states
that Mary Slbnor of Schuylor , Nob. , after )
eight or nine weeks' treatment by Dr. Gal-
brulth , the Union Pacific physician , has re
turned to her homo perfectly cured. She
was a filleted with an ovarian tumor , or rather )
several of them , the extraction of which
necessitated the removal of the womb , both
of the ovaries and all of the ligaments lit
tnched thereto. The operation performed > ty
Dr. Uulbmlth was wituessed by ttio leading
physicians of the city nnd surrounding
countrv , and was entirely successful. This
is the lirst successful operation of the kind
performed west of Now York , and ono of the
half dozen lu the history of surgery in
America.

will create a demand for models , and , mark
you , they must bo modest , model models.
Would yon bo surprised should I tell you that
oven now while the demand Is nil there can
already bo found a limited supply of models
InOmahal Yes 11 thought you would. As

not thirty days ago , presenting u letter' ot in-
troductlon from one of my old I'.u-is teachers.
tit was a professional model , enrouto to Salt
Lake City to spend the summer with a very
wealthy aunt from whom she has always nnd
very effectually concealed the fact that family
reverses had driven her to pose us a model. "
"You hnvo hod opportunities of learning
much about models i"
"Very , very many such opportunities , Of
the women who scclt employ men t as models ,
comparatively few nro available. Artists are
frequently bothered half to death by persis
tent females who want to have their lovli-
IICSH , ho it much or little , inmiortull/od In
colored pigments. When and such things
often happen u stout nnd mlddlu-iiged matron
offers her services f reo of churgo us Venus or
IManii , the unfortunate party of the pulctto
is likely to have some dilllculty In declining
the offer without giving offense. For it does
really seem that woman lovely woman
though not necessarily disixjsed to overrate
her charms Is invariably convinced
that her feature is alsoluto perfec
tion. The model's trade has to bo
learned Uko any other. To pose effectually
requires practice. It is also a natural gift to
some extent. "
' Is the female model's
occupation a respec
table one so fur as your observation has
gone I"
"That is a much discussed question. I
have known many good women who followed
the profession. They muy or may not have

grievances were alleged , chief among them
being that the North Side company has been

union to replace the one that was shuttered
two years ngo.
The Journal says of the matter tonight.
"In the last few days the North Chicago

lu Boston and that of the Oddfellows In Chicago
cage have if really disturbed passenger rates.
Every road Interested will bo crowded to tlio
limit , but local pressure has sagged the
rate in every direction. The latest
collapse Is from Colorado to the Odd
fellows encampment In Chicago nud
It hus involved the Denver uniformed rank m
n row with General Underwood , the grand
patriarch of the order.
To avoid the usual conflict for business it
was agreed , in return for a low rate , that
General Underwood and Chairman Goddard
of the Western Passenger association should
divide the business equitably between tliu
various roads. But tlio Hock Island road
stepped in and made iv contract with
the crack canton of Colorado , which will at
tend the Chicago encampment with the
avowed purpose of capturing llrst pri/o in the
drill. General Underwood has issued an
order that the Colorado canton shall not par
ticipate In the par.ulo in Chicago unless it
conies by the route ho selects. The Colorado
men re f use to bo coerced and thus the matter
stands at present.

Cmr.uio , July Srt. In an Interview here
today Assistant Postmaster General Chirk-
son , who has Just rotuPncd from a tlirco
month's t < 5ur throughout the west and north
west , declared his belief that the world's fall *
will bo n failure if the site is divided.
This prediction ho bases on conversations
with representative men of the west
ern states through which ho passed.
"Wo should remember , " ho said , "that moro
than one-half of the productiveness of the
country Is duo to the funnel's , and an Amer
ican fair with no conspicuous place being
given to ngrliMilturo would be disastrous. Ono
of the greatest attributes of a successful fall ?
i" tlio integrity of its whole. The west is
laying great store In the fair. It Is Interested ,
In its success , recognizing that from
such success the greatest advantage to Itself
will accrue. California is especially iictivo
and Intends to make mich an exhibit as shall
challenge the admiration of nil beholders.
Other western states will make earnest ef
forts to keep an equal pace , but they must
not bo permitted to think the agricultural
department is to bo iiiiytliing of a side show.
Vet the proposition to divide the slto
has created such u rumor , which has spread
over a wide nrw and already acquired a
subtle inlluenco of antagonism lu tbu minds
of many. Those people fear that with il
divided file tliu art and mechanical depart
ments will bo placed on the lake front and
agriculture sliovod olT to Jackson park.
They think the visitors after wanderIng -
Ing through the lake front exhibit
"
willnot look" with much favor on the Idea oC
going several miles U > what will bo called an
agricultural sideshow , and If this Is to bo the
case they want to know why they should pub
themselves ' to trouble In making exhibits.
' "Measures should bo taken , " said Mr.
CInrkson ( , to "prevent such an idea gaining1
strength. "
Ho said ho believed that in saying what ho
had ho echoed the opinion of the great but
unappreciated west.
