SEPTEMBER ONE WILL SEE THE CLIMAX Victory for the Union I'ncllla In lu Fight with tunVritorn t'mionjcnr Aitdoola- tlon Mora Tnlk of Hiilnrj Ilcductlonn. \Vhon the Wolls-FarKO Express company abandoned this field to the Adams and American companies , relinquishing the Bur lington and ICIkhorn systems , the olllcors of that company were loathe to vacate their cc * y quarters on Farnnm street , llopcated nttcmiHs to ascertain the reason for this reluctance finally brought forth the fact that the Fnrgo people were endeavoring to secure the Mllwnukeo system , thereby retaining their standing In the community. But the deal was not consummated nnd the Wulls- Furgo finally yielded to the inevitable and broke camp in Omaha. The advent of the Ailnms people gave llt tlo Joy to the ofllcors of thoBurllngton here , If reports nro to bo believed , nnd bets wore freely offered that the new company would not bo ns popular ns the American Express company , which had done all the express business cast of the river on the Burllugton for n number of years. Lately , however , the express world has been becalmed on ac count of the great reduction in passenger sifrvicq in the various railway systems , which affected their business greatly. However - over , it IB the calm before tlio storm and Unless something unforescetiioccurs there will likely bo a change In the company operat ing the Burlington east of the river about the 1st prox. As far ns can bo learned It appears the Adams Express company has not boon deal ing satisfactorily with the Burlington com pany and consequently a change Is imminent. Should the change bo brought about , it is thought tbo Pacific Express company will cccuro the contract , although the American people would bo glad to renew. old associa tions and would pay handsomely for the privilege , l I.omm Whin Ills Cine. General Passenger Agent Lomax has won ngalnst great odds a signal victory in getting tlio Western Passenger association to accept the basing rail of $25 first class and $18 second end class to Portland , Spokane , Butte nnd Helena olTe'-cd his connections via Omaha , ns ugninst the Great Northern's rates via St. Paul. There Is a tragic interest connected with this hard light on Mr. Lomax's part which slums what n hardy combatant ho is. "While his father was lying dead in Boston , Mr , Lomax buttled boforu the association Jor a principle , which tnanyi rail road men regarded as Incontrovertible , the riglit of all the Union Pacific connections to use the rate instead of using their option. When the Alton Joined thu Union Pacific it van generally regarded that the light would bo a long ono with the possibility of the dis ruption of the association following cloao upon a refusal of roads other than the Korthwestern to use the rate. Theio were trcnchcnt telegrams exchanged between Mr. XiOinax and Mr. Caldwcll , the chairman taking issue with the general passenger ngent regarding his position of transferring pissonecrs and baggngo frco of charge under article vlft of the agreement , which * Lomux contended ho had a right to do. Then came tall ; of the withdrawal of the Union Pacific from the association , which would undoubtedly hnvo split the organization past all mending. This was thu condition of affairs when Mr. Lomax nsKCd for a hearing , and , after laboring for two days , tbo association yesterday agreed to the acceptance of the rate , urotecting a road In thu association against the Great Northern , which has been playing a lone hand for months. Talked About Siilnrv Ilcductlon. Fqfsomo ttmi past the question of n gon- icral reduction rif salaries of the employes of the whole Union Pacific system has been under consideration both by the managers of the roud und the employes. The situa tion has been pretty thoroughly uudci stood , but It was concluded that a meeting with llio men and managers would bo a good thing. Accordingly u mooting was hold at tbo headquarters of the company yesterday , nt which representatives of the Order of llnil- way Conductors , the Brotherhood of Hall way Trainmen , the Swltchtnon.'s Mutual union , the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men , Knights of Labor and the Federated Machinery Constructors of the Union Pa cific , met with General Manager Dickinson and Mr. McConnell , superintendent of motive power and machinery. Mr. Dickinson has always been hopeful that a reduction in salaries would not bo needed , but business has not picked up to the extent desired and the outlook is not very fuvorablo at present. IIo had deferred this conference as lomr us possible with the hope that something would intervene that would change the existing conditions so that n reduction would not bo necessary , ills hopes , however , ha'vo tailed und ho tins ro- luctnntly culled the conference of his men looking to n discussion of the problems that " - confront the system. Fitirund impartial , having como up from the ranks. Air. Dickinson realized what a cut in salaries meant , nnd he didn't propose to inako ia reduction * unless general in its nature , , affecting all , from the president < lawn. 1 Tlio mooting continued nil afternoon , but beyond a general discussion of the filiation no conclusion was reached. Mr. Dickinson nnd Ins men look at the matter from ,1 bus- ! f ness .standpoint , And no dissensions arose. As1 has been made public , the men in the ' shops have suffered considerably from the hard times , and the men in the oporutingdo- partmcnis have also felt the oftcut of dull times. The men seem to understand the situation and view the matter in n phllospblcnl manner. Some of them art ; afraid that If n general re duction is made now that times will soon pick up ng.iln und It will bo hard to got back to their old scale of Wages. The nfildals say that n cut will only bo tempo rary , and if wages are kept up less men will liuvu work. Mr. Dickinson said last night that no con clusion had been reached and ho didn't know when they would have another meet ing. The men do not think that any imme diate reduction will bo made nnd hopa for a revival in railway matters before the ofll- rials arn compelled to take such action in st'lf-protectlon. llnyliiK City HomU.

Among the spots In Omaha endeared to the minds of the people , Hnnscom park Is a mental evergreen. With n wealth ot fresh nlr. hills carpeted with verdure , a miniature take , broad driveways , dense shade trees and n small section ot paradise In the shnpo of ibriculluro , this resort of the masses re tains perpetual popularity. The praises ot this grout summer breath ing spot for the people have boon sung In the parlors of the rich nnd the garrets of the poor. It is essentially a family resort. When Sunday arrives and the band stand is occupied by music-makers. It renllyisooms as though the floodgates of population had opened aud swept n sea of humanity into the park. All ages are represented In the throng of citizenry , from dimple cheeked babyhood to toothless old ago. Every pefc sou who visits the park has n favorite at traction , Old men and women generally prefer t-o Kit on the benches , listen to the music and watch the crowd. Young people prefer to stroll or drive , or peep askance atone ono . another over big dishes of ice croatu. Children love tbo swings , the lake nnd the , ducks , but tlioro Is ono attrac tion in the park ever which nil visitors unite In exclamations of delight , and that Is the ilpriculturo- Flowers In profusion beautify the resort near the Thirty-second street en trance. P.ereh.ed on a commanding hill overlooking the band stand , nro thu green houses filled with an endless variety of floral graudour.i of Pretty IMunti. These erncn houses wore erected last year at a cojl'or $3,000' They nro each 100 foot in longth.nnd twenty fcot in width. In the east grc.oii house nro stock plants in pro fusion. At the cntranco . .

Tlio pool is bordered with a. variety of ( lowers , including pond lilies , watuc hyacinths , lipgonlas nnd ferns. Just In thu rear of ithis'display is a small , quaint loggery eovcred with begonias and ferns The axterlor of the green house adjoining Is covered with Madeira vines and clonatls , with ; uiarro\v bordorof geraniums.

" Ilo'lins Kad sixteen years experience with floirorsiand evidently understands his business. In response to an inquiry from Tin : DUB man as to what ( lowers constituted the triangle. Superintendent Austin nnd Ungur rattled oft u string of botanical names that fully displayed their proficiency in floral volapuk. The rcportorial Faber was , for once , bewildered , but an "analysis" of the trlunglo constitutes the following llowcrs : Triumph of Oood Taste. Grapliallums , coreopsis , nlcotianas , hybrid roses , perennial Hocks , zinnias , Ian tana bybiscus , begonias , hollyhocks , mignonettes , ngcrathums , geraniums in variety and culias. To fully describe the parudislac.il effect of these various llowcrs In ; ho trian gular fonn above mentioned , would i-cquiro a quill plucked from an angel's wing. They have to bo aesn to bo fully appreciated. At one end of the lloral triangle is a plain , overy-'day stump , beautified with'a variety of-vines und'bordcrod with" passion llowers , small century plants , cacti , rosclias , mar- gueritas , plupibagos , arafithoniums , salvias , and two varieties of ubutlom. As the re porter stopped to sharpen iho battered end of his pencil , after the descriptive outburst from the superintendent , bo called attention to the peculin- odor of the "pineapple ge ranium. . " The loaves of this plant smell identically the same as a pineapple. Several nrotty designs In lloral scroll work were next visited. In Plenty.
