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.

CHICAGO , July 20. 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.

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.

BILLS FOR ASPHALT REPAIRS

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 ,

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. "

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.

COURT SAYS NO.
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

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. Instead
of being the true and loving husband ho
had promised to become , ho from the first
neglected and cruelly treated her. Things
went from bad to worse until January , when
he drew u revolver and threatened to kill
her then and there. For these reasons she
asks the court to step In and make her
once more a free woman.

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.
