The action of the Rock Island and Santa Fo Iti reducing their train service to meet imperative demands for retrenchment will ihortly be followed by reductions In train miles on the part of the Union Pacific , Mis- vourl Pacific and Burlington. The reduction on the part of the Union Pacific will not be confined to reducing trains , but general superintendents and heads of de partments have received Instructions to scale down their forces to the lowest possible notch consistent with the handling of the service. So absolutely necessary Is this movement on the port of the "Overland" that predic tions are heard that salaries are also to bo cut. There Is no denying that the railroad situ ation looks terribly blue and wherever a dollar lar can be saved It will be done. Reductions , however , will not bo confined : o railro. d companies. The e < rross c-mpan cs are suffering frightful decrease In business and shortly the Pacific , the United Stales and the Adams will attempt horizontal reduc tions along the line of the American com pany.

Chairman Caldwcll of the Western Passenger association has called a special meeting of the association for Sat urday of this week to consider the question of Grand Army rates. The Atchlson has Is sued ifotice that It wilt extend limits of tickets to any date within the final date set by the association. The arrangements have been heretofore that the tickets were good for return passage only on certain specified dates. The Atchlson has let down the bars as to the return limits , and the association will be obliged to take similar action or lese the greater part of the business. The meeting will also take up several matters of a routine nature. A conference of the Western Passenger as sociation lines with the trunk lines will beheld held next week In New York for the pur pose of considering the Irregularities In Northern Pacific coast tralllc and make an effort to adjust them. The Southern Pacific today Issued notice that the boycott which It put Into effect against the Atchlson early In the year has been Indefinitely suspended. This Is probably the last that will bo heard from the boycott In any shape. _ Talking Trulllc Arrangement * . . Yesterday Receiver McNelll and General Freight Agent Campbell of the Oregon Hall way and Navigation company held a confer ence with General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific and J. A. Monroe , with a view of making a tralllc agreement with the "Overland" along somewhat similar lines as the Union Pacific had with the Oregon company before Its absorption by the former railway. It Is true that the Oregon company made a proposition to the Great Northern through Mr. Shelby , looking toward an alliance of these roads , but the money consideration is thought to ba. too high , and for the present a close trallltf arrangement between the Great Northern -and Oregon company Is hung up. After Mr. . McNelll concludes his business In Omaha he will go east to negotiate the sale of receivers' certificates , which the' ' " United States court has authorized him 'to Issue. lleiivy rrutt California fruit Is now moving In Im mense quantities since the Southern Pacific opened up Its line , the Union Pacific having four deciduous fruit trains between Chey- 011 no and Ogd-'ii. These trains are running on passenger tlmo and are being pushed through In order to save the greater pro portion of fruit , which has been In transit for days. In some some casss the Union Pacific company Is sandwiching fruit coaches on regular passenger trains and charging passenger rates.

SQUIRES' CLAIM READY FOR APPROVAL Olio Vote Needed to I'MM the Claim I Finally - ly Sccitrrtl-llliitnry of the I lll-IIu - ciill' Attempt to Tickle the Mr tot Tollcri That the Darb.T Asphalt company has at last secured enough conncllmaiilc votes to pass the $11,000 street repair bill over the veto of the mayor Is Indicated by the action of Councilman Spccht Tuesday evening In Introducing a resolution to plnco n part of the amount In the appropriation ordi nance. Incidentally the procedure In the case furnishes an Interesting object lesson In the methods employed by the corpora tions to secure their ends , and shows that as the council Is at present Instituted It Is only a mutter of tlmu until they get what they wont. Every one who Is familiar with city af fairs Is acquainted with the history of the 1)arbor claim. It was originally for some thing like flXOUO , and It was presented years ago , when .Mujor Illrkhauser was chairman of the Hoard of Public Works. The claim was for repairs made on city pavements during 1SUO , which were promptly repudiated by the Hoard of Tub- lie Works. During the time when the al leged repairs were In progress the contract ors arrogated to themselves the exclusive right to decide what repairs were necessary and absolutely refused to obey the orders of the Hoard of Public Works. The rcpalra In question were never ordered by the board , but the Harbor company wont ahead and presented the bill. After the board had refused to entertain the claim the matter was taken Into the council , where the position of the board was sustained. Slncoi then the .company has never rested In Its efforts to push thla bill for alleged and unauthorized repairs through the council. On May 24 of this year Hascall Introduced a resolution orderIng - Ing that $2.250.CS of the amount claimed ba placed In the pending appropriation ordi nance , to be paid out of the curb , guttering and cleaning fund , and that the remaining ? 10,000 bo paid as rapidly as funds became available. This was practically acknowledg ing the entire claim , and the ordinance containing the Item was duly passed. The mayor vetoed the Item In favor of the Harbor company on the ground that It was for repairs that had never been authorized , that the claim had been declared fraudulent - . lent by the Hoard of Public Works , and the city council , and that by approving this Item the city bound Itself to pay the entire claim. Ths veto was sustained by a margin of one vole. The next attempt to pass the claim was July 3 , when Edwards Introduced a resolu tion similar to the one Introduced by Has call. This was pnssil and the Item was vetoed a second time , the Uarber company lacking one vote of the number sufllclent to pass the ordinance over the veto as In the first Instance. The Barber company was not disheartened , however , and Tuesday evening It made Us third attempt , and with better prospects of success On the question of sustaining the mayor's first veto Councilman Specht voted to sus tain the mayor. The second time he passed when his name was called , and finally voted for the ordinance , after ho had seen that McAndrews had voted no and his vote would not pass the ordinance. The last resolu tion was Introduced by Specht himself and his vote Is the one that the Barber company needs In order to pass Us claim over the veto which It expects from the mayor. It Is generally understood that though McAn- drcws weakened the last time , he will votj with the Barber councllmcn again the liext tlmo a veto Is returned , and this will give them twelve votes , which will be suHlclent to override the mayor , and after four years of wire pulling to place the company In a way to collect Us long disputed claim. In connection with this subject It Is of Interest to know that the fund out of which It Is proposed to pay this claim Is already almost entirely depleted. The- total sum available In the curbing , guttering and cleanIng - Ing fund on July 1 , according to the figures In the comptroller's omce Is { 37,965.03. This includes the cash reserve , the 1893 balance and 90 per cent of the 1894 levy. The amount expended during the llrst six months of the year was $34,445.20 , leaving a balance for the remaining half of ths year of $3 - 619.S3. After taking oat the $2,250.68 con templated by Specht's resolution a balance of $1,269.15 will remain to pay all expenses In this department for the next six months. WAGKS OF hTKKKr FOICCKS. llnicull niitltcH n lllil for I'm or with tlio Labor Voto. That there Is an election approaching Is evidenced by the desperate efforts of certain councllmcn In behalf of measure * that are cauculated to Impress the laboring man with the belief that their only object In life is to evolve Eomo scheme that will promote his Interests. A cabe In point is the resolution ordering the Board of Public Works to In crease the wages of laborers In the employ of the city from 15 cent ) to 17',2 cents per hour , which was recommended for adoption by Hascall Tuesday evening. According to section 104 of the charter the power to regulate the compensation of c.ty employes is vested as follows : Referring to the duties of the Heard of Public Works It says'The said Hoard of Public Works ( hall regulate and fix the compensation of all Inspecto 's and the wages of employes that are under the supervision of said boarder or said commissioners , which wages shall not bo less nor more than current wages for that cla s of dally labor. " This section was brought to the attention of Hascall by Sounders and Wheeler Tuesday night , but the statesman from the First ward Insisted lhat the council had a right to s.iy what current wages were. In his opin ion current wages were 17 V6 cents per hour , and the bonrd should be made to pay that amount. The dlstentlng members protested that they had made Inquiries among con tractors and others who employed labor and thst none of them were paying more than 15 cents , but u majority of the council sided with Hascall and the resolution was adopted. It Is not expected that the Hoard of Pub lic Works will pay any attention to the resolution. Chairman Wlnspear said yes terday that the fact that the council had declared that current wages were ! " ' , cents did not make them so. There were any number of good men who wcro glad to work for I'iVi cents , and while no was willing that the laboring men should have all they could get , he did not believe that the board could consistently pay more than the present schedule. As far as the action of the council was con cerned the matter of regulating compensa tion was entirely vested In the 'board and the only object of the resolution could be to place tins board In an embarrassing position , ICxt'ur.tlon Iditi'H ICimt.

Tire Dors Quick AVAfb with Tlircn CottnRCH nil Ttvnitjr I'oiirth Hlrcct. It took no longcrithan thirty minutes for flro to destroy threw- cottages belonging to S. H. Andrews of' Omaha , at Twenty-fourth and C streets , ycotcnlay afternoon. An alarm was Bent In at 1:10 : , but unfortunately the firemen , Instead of tying up to n hydrant at Twenty-third and H , about fiOO feet away , coupled at Twenty-sixth and V , and after stretching 2,000 feet of hose reached the ashes of the cottages with a stream of water that resembled a yard of fence wire In appearance , size nnd effectiveness. The lire originated In the house occupied by A. 13 , Parsons through the careless handling of a gasoline stove. J , Davis and dcrlmrdt Mllkonscn occupied the other two cottages. Mr. Mllkensen alone carried Insurance , ho having a $100 policy. The total value of the furniture destroyed In the threa cottages Is estimated at $1,000. Mr , Andrews being out In the state , the amount of his net loss could not be ascertained. Mny ( ; < > t tlio Cur I , Inc. Councllmcn llnll.i and Hyan met Messrs. Qoodrlch and Murphy of the Omaha Street Hallway company Wednesday afternoon and discussed the oft mooted question of giving the Third ward cltl/cns the benefit of n strost car line. Though no direct promises were made the councllmen are confident that the long sought Improvement Is about to be made. The company claims that It has no right to operate lines In South Omaha ex cept on Twenty-fourth street , as the right * of-way on other streets Is owned exclusively by Mr. Markel. It also claims that the maintenance of a service In the Third ward would prove a dead loss. In answer to the first excuse the representatives of this city cited the fact that by the extension of the Twenty-fourth street line to Albright and the L street viaduct Mr. Market and the Metropolitan folks exposed the unity of their possessions and purpose. To the second U was averred with truth that a Third ward line would be twice as profitable as the Albright extension , as there were nearly twice as many people who would bo tribu tary to It within the former limit. At the end of the conference Mr. Bulla and Mr. Hyan were given to understand that the next work done by the company would be the building of the desired line. It was specified , however that In case of Its construction the pavement , Including that between the tracks. was to be kept In repair by the city ; that the line was to run from Twenty-fourth street to Thirty-fifth , and that cars were to run not oftcncr than one-half hour apart. It Is believed that one of the chief reasons for the backwardness of the car people In giving the Third ward a line Is the hope they have of seeing a viaduct erected over the tracks on N or O streets Into the yards. In this event they xvould probably operate the main line across the viaduct , around the yards and home on Thirty-second street. This would leave the Third ward In as bad a condition as ever , and a mighty howl would follow. However , the prospects for a Third ward line are good.as the motor company Is practically on the-councllmanlc rack , the ultimatum being "do as we tell you once In a while , or put your wires underground. " l'ro | > i ) 'il Drhlni ; Turk. Tom Rock , C. C. Stanlsy , the Van Zant Brothers , Cashier McPherson of the Stock Yards bank , the Cllftons and several other prominent citizens and commission men are Interviewing members of the council on tin project of securing the use of the nameless park west of Twenty-fourth street In the ! northern part of Uhe' ' city as a driving park. The Idea Is to lay out the best half-mile track In the state , > crect a handsome grand stand 'and put , up' a iuimberof commodious horse barns. ' The desire in to lease tin park for a period of five or ten years. All the councllmcn thus tar seen would like to assist the project , but as y t cannot Bee their way clear , as they have doubts as to their right of disposing of the grounds tp such a use. It was suggested that the coun cil could give Us permission to the men to lay out the track and then Issue keys to the grounds to each member cf the proposed as sociation. At present this appears to be the best plan , as the park , strictly speaking , IB In the hands of the council and has not been thrown open to public use. The pro jectors say they will raise $2000 within twenty-four hours after they get possession of the grounds , and as the latter nro In fine topographical condition for a track , the amount should fully cover tha whole cost of the undertaking. School llnitrd MuttnrH. A special meeting- the school board has been called for this evening at the High school building. Dills for grading the High school grounds for the new wall will be considered. There Is considerable comment over the employment as janitor of the East Albright school of an alleged Sarpy county farmer. The gentleman In question Is well known as Farmer Sloane , and Is rated as the owner of a moderate sized but highly profitable farm barely more than six miles south of the local postolllce. Mr. P. O. Olson , the new member of the board , whoso reform Ideas are meeting with hearty favor among his colleagues , has called attention to this fact , and added that he would not rest con tent until some deserving South Omaha citizen was appointed Mr. Sloane's succes sor. No action will be taken In the matter this evening perhaps , but at the next regular meeting It Is likely to produce a warm de bate. _ Mllgln Mr. and Mrs. H.

Dump Cnmiot lln Aliilntiilnril nt Ilia Knot of Dnvrtiport Street. The garbage question la once more In court. Guy C. Barton , Edward W. Nash and John Grant , representing the Omaha Grant Smelting and Refining company and the Grant Asphalt and Slagollthlc company , have obtained a temporary restraining order prohibiting the city of Omaha , through Its Hoard of Health , from loc-itlng a dump nt the foot of Davenport street , where the works of the said corporation are situated. The petition In the case was filed In the district court yesterday afternoon nnd Judge Scott granted the restraining order , which will bo In force pending the hearing of the argument on the application for a permanent Injunction , which will bo held In court room No. 1 on the forenoon of September 17. The petitioners represent that about two years ago the Hoard of Health located a garbage dump at the foot of the street mentioned. The fumes arising from the dump were so obnoxious as to make life a burden In u vicinity of several blocks and the unhealthful odors were prolific of sickness among Hits men employed at the works. They allege that at one tlmo they were compelled to shut down because so many men were sick on account of the proximity of the dump , and they did not have enough well men left to run the plant. The complainants assert that the dump was finally removed on account of the nu merous complaints and actions nt law , but now they hiivo Information that the boird Intends to relocate the dump at that place. Consequently they want the court to step Into the ring and Issue a permanent Injunction against the location of the dump at that point. After only eight months of wedded life , Nora DeMerrltt has gone Into court to get herself released from her matrimonial con nection with Horace DeMorrltt. AccordIng - Ing to the petition which she filed In district court yesterday , she was married to De- Mcrrltt at Broken How , In this state , In November , 1S93. She asserts that.

DON T LET THEM DIE July Heat Weakens Babies' Di gestion : No Strength to Resist 'Cholera Infantum. Half the Funerals of'July Are of Little Ones. Safety Lies in Lactated Food and Cleanliness. The Proper Food is Very Far from Expensive. July Is dealing even more crually with the babies than a year ago. The fatal cases of cholera Infantum last week In this city , were many , and there will bo many more * . Precious little lives sacrificed to Ignorance. Almost every one might have besn saved. All these dlarrhcal diseases , whether chol era Infantum , diarrhea or summer com plaint , are preventable. Physicians emphat ically say so. Hot weather alone will not produce these disorders ; It simply weakens the Infant di gestion , mid makes It easy for Improper feed ing to bring on dreaded diarrhea. What then , Is proper dl.t In July ? Healthy mother's milk has no rival , but when the child Is being weaned , or when Its natural food Is thin and watery and unable to keep baby strong and well , lactated food must bo used at once , cither to supplement mother'B milk or as a complete diet. Par years it has b.ien noted that In count less homes and In the largo chlldrens Insti tutionswherever lactated food haa been reg- ulnrly used , there have b.'en few or no re turns of deaths from cholera Infantum In July nnd " August. The "reason Is that th'a ' highly nutritious prjdigcsted and especially palatable food Is the very next thing In every respect to pure mother' : ! milk. H Is easily assimilated by the Infant stomach , with but a trifling expcndl- turd of vitality. It keeps up the little one's strength , und as It cannot possibly contain a particle of Impurity , these two great causes of cholera Infantum arc successfully avoided. And babies like It. Any food , however nutritious , that baby will nut readily take , has small chances of doing good. And It Is here that lactated food ntunds pre-eminent In the minds -of medi cal m n. When teething , and during hot weather , when babies are most capricious In their appetite , It Is found that they take lactated ffod with relish when nothing else will tcnnjt them. Members of boards of health nnd physi cians , It will be found , feed their own chil dren on lactated food. The fact known to physicians from the start that lactated food was prepared under the personal supervi sion Of no liua a man than Prof. Iloynton of Vermont University , gave It Immediate standing among practitioners. When a change of diet Is needed because baby Is not taking sufficient nourishment , lactated food Is sure to delight mothers , by the evident relish with which babies take It. -NEBRASKA Vt S.
