Tlio merchants and newspapsrs of Kansas
City are all worked up over what they are
plcabed to call "The Union Pacific Doycott
on Kansas City. " The Times , published In
thu city ut the mouth of the murky Kaw , In
commenting on the situation , sajs ;
"Tho Urtual boycott of Kansas City busl
ines In Nebraska by the Union I'aclfic rail
road has brought about a condition of affairs
vhlch should not bo endured by the mer
chants of the city. Already there has been
n tremendous d'crcaro In trade from tlio
b"ctlon lit question , and all signs point to a
total cessation of trade iclatlons with Its
people If the unwarranted and unjust dis
crimination Is maintained.
"If Kinsas City business men expect to
retain their hold upon their natural and
lawful trade territory , they must act In con
cert upon these mutteu. If the Union I'a-
cillc railway persists In taking business
uv.iiy fiom Kansas City , the only logicil
thing for the merchants to do Is to take
Imslntfcs n\\ay from the Union I'aclfic. A
linn , decided , united stand all alone the line
will boon t-ettlo the question. "
Union 1'acltlc olllclals assert that Insteid of
the- road Instituting a boycott on Kaiuas
City the rntfs , over which the Kawltcs are
unduly exercised , have been Inaugurated for
tha purpose of giving Omaha its own and re
moving a condition of affalis that has oper
ated to the profit of Kansas City and to the
detriment of Omaha merchants and shippers.
ThU assertion Is burns out by the facts and
figures In the case.
COMPARISON OF HATKS.
For a long time prior aud up to September
11 Uel. the ratu on wheat from Sohiiler and
Fremont to K.insjs City was ItJ cents , and nn
corn and cau 13 cents. The wheat rate
frum Columbus and points north was 17
cents and 15 on cuts and corn. On Sep
tember 11 the rates from Schuyler to Kan
sas City were advanced to IS cents ou wheat
and on corn and coarse grain 'o ' 15 cents.
The fldxanco from Fremont was to 17 on
nheni and 10 cents on corn , The rate was
made , wheat JO , conue grains IS ; went of
Tarnov tu Norfolk and C dar Rapids. The

tariff cf 8 cents was made by the Kausa
City roads to Chicago. Hy reason of the
manipulation of lates at Kansas City grain
has been going from the 1'lattealley In
Nebraska to Kansas City and from Kansas
City to St. Paul and Minneapolis
at less than the through rate
via Omaha. It was this condition that
made necessary a revision of rates that
would protect Omaha in the territory Imme
diately tributary to this city. The viola
tion of the rate agreements had become so
flagiant that the Cllchorn was preparing to
put In a Chicago rate tli.it would command
business , had not the revision been made to
protect the roads doing business In Omaha
HAS HRBN FAVORHU TOO MUCH.
Railroad men assert that Kansas City has
already been allowed to penetrate too far
Into Nebraska , both on live block and grain
business The present Kick comes from the
fact that rates have been made on grain
which prevent Kansas City from carrying
grain four times the dlbtanco to Omaha at
the aamo rate as to Omaha. Kansas City
merchants and shlppTS are howling about
a bocott because the Union Pacific Is charg
ing them twice the tailff to Omaha , when
the distance Is really four times as great ,
The ratu fiom Norfolk to Kansas City on
wheat is 20 cents. With an S-cont rate from
Kansas City to Chicago , the rate from Nor
folk to Chicago \la Kansas City would bo
28 cents , or 4 c"nts ICMI than the rate via
Omaha , although the- distance of the haul
Is fully 100 miles in favor of Omaha. This
Is the giouml on which the Knnsay City
merchant raises his cry of boycott against
the Union Paclllr.
For a long time the Kansas City shippers
ha\u been doing huplnosa at Superior ana
Dclvldcio and all along that section at the
same rate with Omaha merchants and ship
pers , although the distance Is from 100 to
150 miles In favor of Omaha. Superintend-
tut Ilabtuck of the Union Stock yard : ) la In
Kansas City trjlrg to adjutt rates to
points In toutherii Nebraska and northern
Kansas so that Omaha may he put on an
i-mi.il footing with Kansas City. While Kan
sas City IKIS been allowed to capture a large
share of the Nebinska business , Omaha hua
been Kept out of K.m. a.s by an arbitrary of
$20 per rar th.it has been applied to all
paints touth uf Mar > svllle , and against
Omaha. H Is the adjustment of tha rates
that will give Omaha a fight'ng ' chance In
the territory that belongs to her that Is
canning all the tioublc.

Council Iti-fiiHi-N One Appropriation
uiul AllnuM Sctci'iil Ollici'N.
The economical phnK > of the councllmanlc
nature- has shown FtiPflday night when Prince
Introduced a resolution providing for an
appropriation of J33 to pay tha expenses of
ono man for a month In coll.-cting statistics
relative to the garden plot scheme which
was tried in Omaha last bcuton. It wa * ex
plained that over 100 acres of city property
was divided amcr.K d ? mlng families for
cultivation. The setd was furnished by the
i-lty and county and fijl families wire- each
given a piece of ground to cultivate. Tha
phut i < rouscd a great cle.il rf interest , not
only In Omalm , but In other cities where
the experiment was tu lie tried If It proved
to be n Ruccew In Omaha.
For nicnthb past the mayor has been besieged -
sieged wltli communkHtloi.s lioin the olll.
flair ) and the charitublo organizations of
oilisr cities , aching for Information relative
te ihti succcu uf iho garden plot plan. To
obtain the r.e > iuy Infnrmatlon fiom all
of tUtisd families was an Impossibility un-
Icfcb the task waa taken in hand
by tcmo one who could make a systematic
cnnviifi of iho brnctlclarles. This the gar
dener wlo had riurge of tha cultivation of
iho different plots during the cnrly part of
tha sunnier i ff'reJ to do for $35. $ It In-
\n\\tH \ i ii'n'li' ' * wcrl. and it was urged that
th's | nf rii t.on was romrttin ; : that should
irjt i ) bo cbt > , i < nd. Hut the ccuncll re-
( u "il t ) grant the appropriation and the
chances are that no one will ever know what
was accomplished through th ? project.
Tuesday night when the chairman of the
Hoard of Public Works presented n bill of
$8.60 for expenses Incurred in furnishing a
supper at a swell restaurant for a couple of
visiting city officials the bill was promptly
allowed. After the suppsr the members of
the board took their guests for a carriage
ride In order to facilitate digestion and in
the tame connection the council cheerfully
appropriated $10 to pay for this little ex
travagance , Then came n bill from the po
lice department for $30 for carriages used
by police officers In driving around the city
on election day. This was an extravagance
altogether unprecedented In the history of the
municipality , but the bill came from "our
people" and was paid without a murmur.

In compliance v.lth a request train the
finance committee- the city council , City
Electrician Schurlg has submitted a plan by
which It Is expected that theelectilcal de
partment will bo made self-supporting. No
action on the suggestions has been taken by
the council , but It Is promised that they will
bo taken up and considered before the end of
the year. Mr , Schuilg estimates the ex
penses of the department during Ib'Jl at
$1,050.10. To offset this amount fees amount
ing to $ IOS have been received. This latter
amount might have been somewhat Increased
In the opinion of tha electrldan , If ho had
had more time to devote to the scinl-nnnmil
inspections , for which fees are charged , In
stead of being compelled to give mo t of his
attention to looking' up and lepatrlng faulty
wirings In the downtown buildings. This
task Is now nearly completed und next year
the electrician will be able to do more iu-
M > cctlng.
Thefco facts being considered , the electiic-
lan recommends that the ordinance govern
ing electrical construction ba so amended
as to provide for a foa of 1 per cent on the
CMtiro ) coi > t of installation for wiring In bnllil-
In- ( , foi arc and Incandescent lights , the
fee to bo $1 In all cista where the cost of
consti action amounts to lota than $100. He
also recommends a feeof $1 for the location
of each electric generator , or motor of five-
horse power , or less , and 20 cents additional
for each horse power additional. For outside
construction ho sugget-ts a fto of $1 and 2S
cents additional for eacu polo set. If these
suggestions aio carried out , Mr. Schurlg de-
claics that the department will support
Itself.
( if California
Tom Shoemaker , general agent of the Union
Pacific at San Francisco , was In the city yes
terday. Ho wont to S1. Loali la1) night to re.
turn to Omaha next week Mr. Shoemaker
najs that busliiMi la Improving on Iho coapt
and there Is a healthy Increase in both weft-
bound and eastbound shipments. The fruit
crop In California was about 2,000 cars short
of the usual output , but the orange crop
promises better than for years. He e'tti-
mates that 10,000 rare of orange ? will b-
shlppcd out of the btate this year. The
oranges are In splendid condition and are
ripening earlier than usual , t.o that the fim
bhlpmcu's will bo made the latter part of
December.

II. S. Woodworth of UApW City , S. D. ,
v\as Indicted by the United States grand
Jury jestcrday on a charge of having used the
malls to defraud.
That Mr. Woodworth Is a scholar and not a
gentleman Is made evident by the correspond
ence' which he has carried on with numerous
and divert ) parties distributed Irregularly from
Maine to California. Ilia grandiloquent
epistles show that ho has unquestionably
iccclved both a scientific and classical edu
cation , and this added to his natural In
ventive genius , ima made him a shining light
wherever he ha& cast his abode-
Mr. Woodworth would have been a good
man for the sure thing gamblero of Omalm
to have bumped up against , as he would
have shown them a surer road to fortune
than by the three card or shell route. He
has Invented an electrical appliance that
would knock a sucker Into a fit. It will
boat faro , roulette and moiite , throw dice ,
mark und hold out cauls and perform other
wondeilul feats too numerous to enumerate.
In tpenklng of his many sure thing
dtvlces In a letter to a local business man ,
Mr. Woodworth bays ; "Mv cliemleal prepa-
tallon for cards is of a liquid form and may
bo applied to a deck of cards without a poa-
slbillty of being detected and used without
fear of exposure. In faro the aces , for in
stance , being first selected , are made para
magnetic , the residue of the. tame deck
made dlamagnetlc , the dlamsgnetlo being
repulsive to each other and Influence only
by the paramagnetic ; this belns true we
aio enabled at any time/to / determine the
location of the aces , as well as the cards Im
mediately beneath them ,
"It may be further tald that paramagnetic
cards will not adhere to each other , for the
reason that they are of the same polarity ,
therefore repulsive. In ileflliiB cards out of
a box , it U n'CEEsary to renumber the card
that falls on the magnet cards , the aces
being belectcd as such , which two cards will
bo separated by no ordlna j shutlllng , un
less by 'butting them In , ' to which you can
object , thus enabling you to win four magnet
card i to enforce your bet.
"Th. carda are flrnt prepared with proper
chemicals , but after lapsing n nine lesson In
their attrahent ; then It la that the electro-
phcrus machine Is called ftnto requisition to
supply them with sufficient magnetism , when
they are as good ao when lint prepared

The United States attorney , speaking of
Mr. Woolwoith , said"Now tha man who
would Bay that Mr. Woolworth has not got
a go * ] thing , Is certainly a good subject for
a pidded ceil. And so easy and simple of
operation. Jus-t think of his paramagnetic
and dlamagnetlc cards , and what a tame
victim thu tiger would be If you only had a
pack.
"Of course a green man might at first ex

being bo clear and trunMucent Suiely Mr.
