The old Charles street base ball grounds
have undergone a startling metamorphose
within the past two weeks and look about
as unlike * a bill park today as one could pos
sibly Imagine. The big force of workmen
of the Omaha Bicycle Park association have
transformed It Into what Is apparently one
of the bfst and speediest enclosed tracks In
the United States. The track Is of hard pine
and Is painted a light blue and will be In
superb ship ? for the dedicatory event , a six-
day amateur bicycle race , beginning Monday ,
August C. Aside from the cpeedy character
of thli new track , is added the charm that
comes with outdoors sport under the most
advantageous conditions. In the way of ac
commodations for spectators. The park will
be flooded with electric light In sufficient
volume to turn night Into day and there U
hardly a doubt but that It will quickly de
velop Into the most attractive and populai
resort In Omaha , It Is already assured thai
the very faitest and best known amateurs Ic
the Plate , an wrll ns several from the rival
precincts of Iowa , will take part In th ;
opining event , and already a good , Reid ol
them are In training for the bl race. The
prizes are handsome and valuible and every
thing will be done on a first-class plan In
order that the park may enjoy a prosperoui
lendoff.

The brewers of Omaha are up In arms
against the alleged unjust discrimination In
rates maintained by ths railroads to Falls
City and adjacent towns and In favor of Kan
sas City and ST. Joseph to points cqul-dls-
tant between Falls City and Omaha , Un
der the western classification , as erected by
the railroads west of Chicago , the discrim
ination on four classes of freight la of so
much moment that not only tha brewers ,
but the dealers In agricultural Implements
as well , arc moving to have the rates ad
justed upon a busts somewhat favorable to
this city , Instead of permitting the palpable
Inequality to go on forever.
Taking Falls City and the towns adjacent
as a basis for computation , the present rate
from Kansas City and St. Joseph are , on
four classes :
23 20 U Ts
While from Omaha , which stands In the
same relation to Falls City as Kansas City
and St. Joseph so far as mileage U con
cerned , the rates are :
40 SO 25 20
A difference of 15 cents on first-class , 10
cents on second class , 8 cents on third class
and 5 cents on fourth class , third and
fourth classes. Including beer In casks and
cases , agricultural Implements and vehicles
taking the first-class rates.
Last March the Uurllngton and Missouri
Pacific railroads agreed to eqtiallzo the rates ,
or In a measure wipe out the , , present dis
parity , and the Burlington proceeded to put
Its tariff In effect March 1 , keeping It In
force until March 12 , when It discovered
that the Missouri Pacific had not changed Its
existing tariffs. The Hurllngton tariff of
last March made the following changes-
From St. Joseph to Falls City , which Is only
distant fifty miles :
30 23 20 17
From Kansas City to Falls City :
40 30 25 20
the rate at present from Omaha. St. Joseph
was given the benefit of Its position , purely
bscauso there Is not a brewery In that city
and It did not cut any figure In a wholesale
way In the classes alleged to be Improperly
discriminated against.
A representative of the Missouri Pacific
stated that for upward of a year It had been
trying to .adjust the rates now In force , but
the Hurllngton Insisted U would not change
the rates that now obtain from Kansas 'City
and St. Joseph to Falls City and adjacent
towns taking the , same rate.
"We believe. " said the freight represen
tative John AIcNaughton , "that the rates
from Kansas City and St. Joseph are too
low and the rates from Omaha are reason
able. We do not .feel , however , that for the
sake of revenue we can reduce the Omaha
rates. "
General Freight Agent Crosby of Hurling-
tpnwas hot when told the position the Mis
souri Pacific assumed In the matter. "We
made a tariff , putting Into effect adjusted
rates from Kansas City nnd St. Joseph to
Falls City , believing that the Inequality should
be adjusted. With the wraMor St. Joseph
and Kansas City merchants upon us we main
tained the new tariff for twelve days and
then finding that our competitor , the Missouri
Pacific , had not kept faith with us we pulled
It out. I maintain It was a lack of good
faith on the part of the Missouri Pacific to
the Hurllngton and a show of bad faith from
the Missouri Pacific to the people of Omaha
when the Missouri Pacific failed to put In the
agreed rates. No later than Monday I told
the Missouri Pacific to go ahead and adjust
the rates to Fills City to ult Itself ,
as we were not. In the business and could not
got It from Omaha If we wanted to , distance
being against us , but we wouldn't change the
rates from Kansas City and St. Joseph be
cause of the bad faith shown by the Missouri
Pacific in dealing with this problem last
spring. " _

Shut Out the SealperH.
CHICAGO , July 23. The western lines met
today to consider the adoption of additional
restrictions In relation to the sale of tickets
to the G. A. R. encampment at Louisville.
The meeting was called because of the low
basis of the rates adopted and because the
Louisville lines had declared they could not
execute Iron clad tickets sold for this occasion
by the western roads. A resolution was
adopted subject to the vote of the absent
llnss. providing that Iron clad signature
tickets shall bo used and contain exchange
orders on eastern gateways , and the connec
tions at the eastern gateways arc to see
that the tickets are duly executed there.
This resolution applies only to the eastern
territory of the Western Lines Passenger
association. All roads selling tickets from
St. Paul , Minneapolis , Missouri river points ,
Sioux City and Kansas City Inclusive , are
to file with the chairman Immediately after
the close of the sale of tickets a full state
ment of the amount of business done and
the chairman Is authorized to test the market
for cut rates at any time and In any placs
that may , In his judgment , bo necessary.
All lines pledged themesclvcs to confin ?
the sale of tickets to the legitimate business.
Some discussion was had on the application
of the short line G. A. R. rates from Col
orado common points through Chicago , but
no action was taken. The question of ths
Omaha lines agreeing not to apply G. A. R.
rates in the sale of tickets via Chicago was
also discussed , but will be further considered
by those lines.
The Western Freight association was in
session today considering the reduction In
minimum rates on carloads. There is no
doubt that a reduction will be made , but the
work Is progressing very slowly and It will
be some time before It becomes op-ratlve.

ST. PAUL , July 23. Hy a decision of At
torney General Chllds today the Duluth &
Iron Range railroad came Into possession of
land grants In the northwestern part of the
state of 20,000 acres of plno and mineral
lands , whose value runs Indefinitely up In the
million of dollars. The road had applied for
the grant , but State Auditor Dunn doubted
their right to It and called on the attorney
general for an opinion which was given today
in favor of the railroad. The general gov
ernment has not yet given up all right to
the land , tnd the land office olficlals will
contest the claim of the road further. The
Illinois Steel company of Chicago Is ono of
the big corporations directly benefited by the
decision.

SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , July 23. ( Special. )
Colonel T. H. Urown of this city , one of the
directors of the Uurllngton , Cedar Rapids &
Northern railroad , which has Its terminus
here , has given out some gratifying Intelli
gence. He says that ho has made arrange
ments to drive the general manager of
the Burlington overland from here to Madi
son , this state , a distance of fifty miles. He
also Intimates that the Uurllngton people
have long considered the advisability of build
ing out of Sioux Falls In a northwesterly
direction. The country from herq to Madi
son Is as rich and valuable as any In the
state , and belnir some distance from a rail
road , would doubtless be the route chosen
by the Uurllngton If the road was extended
from here. Brown does not say positively
that this Is the plan of his road , but he
Intimates strongly that such Is the case.
Thcro has already been a survey made from
hero to Madison by a projected railroad com
pany known as the Sioux Fails & Madison.
