Their Ultimatum ,
The Union Pacific has not yet made any
changes In the rates on wheat from Nebraska
points to Kansas City. The matter Is still
In the stew and there Is no telling what the
dish will b like until the cooking Is com
pleted.
That man Vanlandlngham , down flt Kansa *
City , Is still shouting boycott and blood and
all that sort of nonssnse , but the rotes remain
as fixed by the Union Pacific several months
ago. The question has simmered down now
to the proposition as to whether the Union
Pacific will keep Its present tariffs , or make
a modification of them In favor ot Kansas
City and thereby Invlto a rate war with the
Elkhorn. The officials of the Elkhorn have
taken a determined stand on the proposition
nnd Insist that If Kansas City Is allowed to
penetrate the Elkhorn territory In northern
Nebraska the Elkhorn will make some rateo
direct to Chicago that will leave Kansas City
out of consideration In the Nebraska terri
tory.
Freight Traffic Manager Munroo of tlio
Union Pacific has Imd a conference with the
Elkhorn officials on the subject , but the mat
ter Is no nearer an adjustment than It was a
month ago. _ _ _

SAN FRANCISCO , Dec. 3. The Southern
Pacific company has abolished Its detective
department. The detectives In the general
offices In this city and also those at Sacra
mento , Bakersfleld and Tucson have all been
discharged and the company will hereafter
look to the police departments of the various
towns for the work that has hitherto been
performed by the coiuoany directly. Four
teen clerks In the auditor's office have also
been discharged , as well as six clerks In the
general freight office. Needed economy Is
tlio reason given by the management for the
general dismissals , which will effect a saving
of over $4,000 a month to the company.

1 'the west.

Low JuliitN Kl6et n Secretary.
The local passenger agents of Omaha and
Council Bluffs got together yesterday at
Durllngton headquarters and reorganized the
local association , under the terms of the
agreement of the Western Passenger associa
tion.
tion.The local association , familiarly known as
the "Low Joints , " Is charged with the duty
of maintaining the rules adopted by the West
ern Passenger association and may decide
upon more stringent rules for the government
of tlio local hiiBlnesa , If It so desires. There
Is but one officer of the local association , the
secretary. It Is an office without profit , pleas
ure or honor , but It Is an office and that Is
cxcuwj enough for making a scramble to get
Into It. The candidates before the meeting
yesterday were J. W. Munn , chief clerk of
the Elkhorn passenger department , and C. R.
Davidson , chief clerk of the passenger de
partment of the Htirllngton. Both are gcod
fellows and popular , but Davidson has re
cently had honors thrust upon him by his
election as a member of the Hoard of Educa
tion and the passenger men decided to give
the secretaryship of the local association to
Mr. Munn , and he was elected after a , spirited
contest.
The- local association will meet on the first
Tuesday of each month.

The plans of City Treasurer-elect A. G. Ed
wards and Ills friends to get his official bond
reduced to an unprecedented figure have radly
miscarried , as far as the Hoard of Educa
tion Is concerned. At the meeting of the
board Monday night Mr. Edwards * friends ,
headed by him , endeavored to get the bond
fixed at $100,000. Falling In this , they tried
$200,000 $ , but again they lacked votes , and
the bond was finally fixed at $300,000.
The matter wns brought up by the
finance committee , which recommended that
the bond be placed at $300,000. Jonathan Ed
wards objected , and moved as an amendment
that the bond be fixed at $100,000 , and that the
treasurer bo allowed to furnish n guarantee
bond for a part ot that amount. In support
ot his position Edwards quoted figures pur
porting to be the monthly balances In the
school fund during the past year and which
showed that the average monthly balance
was $38,000 , while the highest was only
$93,000.
The proposal to reduce the bond to such a
figure was a little more than most ot the
members bargained tor , and several objec
tions were at once registered. Tukcy stated
that the law was plainly to the effect that the
bond exacted should be double the amount
that was likely to bo In ( he hands of the
treasurer at any one time , and the commit
tee had strained a point In recommending
the reduction to $300,000. The bond ot Henry
Bolln was $400,000 , and as there were now
211 saloons In the city It was very probable
that the treasurer would have very nearly
that amount In his hands at some time dur
ing the winter. Edwards rejoined that it
was all a scheme on tlic part of the commit
tee to , embarrass the treasurer and prevent
him from qualifying for the office , and Dur-
gess Immediately took exception to the re
mark. Ho declared that the committee had
recommended the smallest bond ever required
from the treasurer of the Hoard of Educa
tion and had placed It as low as possible-
under the law.
Johnson said ho didn't believe there was
any necessity of having a bond for more
than $100,000 , and Lunt read the portion of the
statute governing the case. He added that
where the law was so explicit he could not
see any other course than to follow It. Everyone
ono knew that there would be$200,000 of
school money In the hands of the treasurer
some tlmo during his term , and the committee -
tee had conceded a great deal In Its report.
The opinion ot the attorney of the board
was called for , and Attorney Powell stated
that he could not speak In any plainer lan
guage than that which was1 In the statute.
The law plainly declared that the bond must
be at least double the amount that would be
In the hands of the treasurer at any one
time and what that amount was likely to be
was a matter for the board to determine.
The roll cull on Edwards' amendment was :
Yeas , Edwards , Johnson , Knodell 3 ; nays ,
Anderson , Burgess , Lowe , Lower , Lunt. Pier-
son , Rhoades , Tukey , Akin 9. Knodell
then moved that the amount bo fixed at
$200,000. In support of this proposition lie
called attention to the bond of City Treasurer
Dumont , which was fixed by the board at
$200,000. Lunt called -attention to the fact
that the bond of Mr. Dumont had been fixed
at that amount because there would be no
time during the remainder of the term for
which he was appointed when there could be
more than $50,000 or $75,000 la the school
fund. In. that- case the board was able to
reduce the bond without breaking the law ,
but in the present case the situation was
entirely different. The second amendment
was lost and the original motion to fix the
bond at $300,000 prevailed , Haudhauer , Ed
wards , Johnson and Knodell voting In the
negative.
TERMS OF SCHOOL YEAR.
On recommendation of the committee on
rules the terms of the school year ot 1895-9G
were fixed as follows : Fall term , September
1 to December 20 , sixteen weeks ; winter term ,
January G to March 27 , twelve weeks ; spring
term , April 6 to Juno 12 , ten weeks ; total ,
thirty-eight weeks. The chief change con
templated by this action was In extending tbe
holiday vacation to two full week ? . In pre
vious years the fall term has ended on the
day before Christmas and the winter term
liai begun on the day after New Year's. This
year both holidays come on Wednesday and
as It was the opinion of Superintendent Pearse
and the members of the committee that It
would not bo advisable to have two successive
weeks of school of two days each It was
resolved to give the pupils the benefit of the
full week In each case.
The report of Superintendent Pearse showed
that the school membership was 13,193 , a
falling away ot 186 pupils since the last
report. This shrinkage was attributed to an
epidemic of colds and a diphtheria scare In
one or two schools. The reports for the
first two months of school showed an enroll
ment of 14,725 , an Increase of 300 over the
corresponding period ot last year. There
were five rooms with an attendance ot more
than fifty-five pupils , and eighteen
rooms with a membership of ICES
than thtlrty-flve. The superintendent's
report also Included a discussion of
the additional school rooms likely
to be needed during the ensuing year. He
advlsid the board that the buildings already
constructed would be sufficient for any In
crease of attendance that might reasonably
be expected. In cases where crowding was
likely to occur the dlfllculty could bs reme
died by a readjustment of boundary Hues and
throwing the surplus attendance Into adjoin
ing schools. The conditions were most un
favorable at the High school , where several
departments were already crowded. In thla
case the board would soon have to consider
ways and means of providing additional ac
commodations.
The- application of F. W. Fitch for the
position of attorney for * the board wns placed
on file.
The resignation of Miss Antoinette Royce
us a teacher was accepted ,
The city treasurer reported that warrants
aggregating $51,92.71 ! ) were outstanding

The superintendent of buildings was di
rected to provide a ( lag staff at the Columbia

HIDS FOR SCHOOL FUNDS.
On recommendation of the finance commit
tee thJ- secretary was Instructed to advertise
for bids from the local banka for the privi
lege of carrying the , deposits of the school
fund. '
The secretary was directed to expend $7 for
lobsters to bo used by the zoology class In the
High school.
superintendent of schools was directed
to report how many post graduates and un
registered pupils were attending the classes
at the High school.
Retrenchment was given a brief shaking
up with the result that the finance committee
was Instructed to bring In a report at the next
regular meeting recommending some means
of reducing expenditures during the ensuing
year.
The present attorney , Clinton N , Powell ,
was requested by resolution to continue to
serve until January C.
A resolution by Lowe provided for a change
In the rules that uhould prohibit the appoint
ment of any | > a t graduate of the High school
as an ollk'cr of thetlllgli kchool cadets ; also
tint no officer should b ? appointed for two
successive years. The resolution , which Is
likely to stir up a lively fracas among the
cadets , was referred to the committee on
rules and Lieutenant I'enn.
Lowe wanted the attorney Instructed to
bring action at once against the bondsmen of
Henry Uolln for the amount peculated from
the tcliool fund. Attorney Powell adylivd that
action uhould be delayed until the- next term
of court , In order to settle som ? legal com
plications and hit advice was taken.

Hut John J. Ingalls din not come. He telegraphed -

In Wisconsin and that he could not possibly

ing.The
The Kansas meeting was arranged by the
Kansas Million club , which wns organized
with the solo purpose ot bringing 1,000,000
persons to the Sunflower state. Governor K.
N. Morrlll was on the platform , and ho It was
who led the pinlses of his staff. With the
governor on the platform were J. U. Burton ,
another Sunflower orator , whoso telling re
marks were greeted with tremendous ap
plause ; E. Stanley , the state school super
intendent , and J. V. Bcckman , W. C. Ed
wards , the secretary of state of Kansas ; W.
T. Trice , J. 8. Kmory , the Irrigation lecturer ,
nnd .H. Wilder , treasurer of the Santa Fo
railroad.
Franklin H. Head Introduced Governor
Morrlll briefly , and the chlof executive of
Kansas began to sound the praises of the
Sunflower stato. He said fertile lands were
awaiting those who wished to sce-k new
homos where they could be Independent and
where they would not be worried by the land
lord , who nlwnys had an Insatiable- appetite
for rent. Many mistakes have been 111:1 : do
about the financial standing of Kansas- con
tinued the governor , which the Million club
wishes to overcome and set , at naught. The
club proposes to put before the public a true ,
honest statement of facts and of the re
sources of this state , and we are all united
for the same object.
"Kansas has suffered tremendously on ac
count of 1893. Up to that time Immigration
was brisk and many secured homes In the
statQ and were- looking forward to a happy
and prosperous career. The trouble came
through the eate In borrowing ; money. We
got money too easily from eastern visitors ,
nnd that was the reason why there Wfro BO
many homeless Kansas people when the panic
came. The financial pressure ) was felt more
severely In Kansas , because the people depend
on the land , and the land depends on the
rainfall. The western part of thte state will
not be available for cultivation until under
new methods of 'Irrigation , Then It will be
come the homo of thousands of happy and
prosperous people. " Hie governor told them
of the growth and history of the state. Ho
said that In 1861 Kansas had no statolnstl-
tutlons. Now It had a splendid state house , n
State university , hospitals and homes for old
soldiers and old soldiers' orphans. The entire -
tire state Indebtedness , ho declared- was but
$759,000 , of which $438,000 was held by the
school fund. Kansas was not full of suffer
ing , or starvation , but was full of wideawake
people who wanted others to Jola them In
building up a great state.

The Continental Is doing pome desperate
pries cutting In their men's milts.
And the Continental Is selling the suits-
selling suit after suit for less than the cost
ot making but that's nothing when It's
taken Into consideration that they've got to
sell nearly all the suits to bo bought In this
town before they can get rid of the$50,000
\vorth to bo sold before New Year's day.
There's a fixed determination on the faces
of all the employes of Frecland-Loomls Co.
to sell these stilts that's very pleasant for
the customer to see. The buyer easily sur
mises tlmt ho Is going to get the bargain of
his life , and he Is never mistaken.
U Is this determination to close out these
goods that has kept the crowd coming over
since the fealo started more than a week
ago. Every ono who buys tells his friend
where ho got It nnd as a natural consequence
the Continental keeps on selling the suits
selling them at prices herUofore unknown.
Anything In overcoats or Ulsters will be
yctiro for llttlo or nothing , and boys' clothIng -
Ing , too.
The Continental Is preparing for Saturday
a surprlo * that will prove the biggest thing
that Omaha has ever seen. It will b ? a
bonanza sale of clothing If there ever was
one. It Is Impossible to give full particulars
now , but It Is safe , to say that Frceland
Loomls Co. are In blood earnest and this sale
will t'lmply b&ne more proof that this mag
nificent stock Is bound to disappear before
the new owners , Gamble & Richards , take
possession January 1st.
MUS. I1UGG.S WI.VS III2K SUIT.
Court Deelilen that Her IIiiNlinnu" *
AVIII Miint Stand.
Since the death of George H. Hoggs a
contest hau been waged by his brothers and
sisters for the purpose ot breaking his will
and preventing the widow from holding the
largo property bequeathed to her by her
husband.
For many years Sir. Boggs was o prom
inent real estate man , and , as the result of
Judicious Investments In Omaha property , he
accumulated a fortune , estimated at $300,000.
This entire property , with the exception of
a few specific bequests , was left to his wife ,
Ida M. Boggs. The will had been carefully
drawn , and not being subject to attack on
account of any Irregularity In form , the con
testants were driven to the extremity of
charging undue influence on the part of Mrs.
Boggs , and the want of mental capacity on
the part ot her husband to make a will.
The hearing of these objections to tbe al
lowance of the will took place yesterday
bafore Judge Baxter , who , upon the conclu
sion of the testimony , promptly decided that
both objections should bo overruled and that
the will should bo allowed and admitted to
probate. The contestants have given notice
of an appeal.

succeeded In convincing him that It WHS all

'and Injured feelings In 'silence. ' Last night
William again tried his muscular prowess
upon Leon with disastrous effects.

Offer Once Mmlo for u Good Stomach.
The man was rich In many ways and
dined from gold plates , but his bloodva ?
poor and his food ulcss to him. Money
could not give the healthy appetite , the
vigorous digestion , which alone give happi
ness and ward oft disease.
No ono can remain well , no chronic dis
ease can be cured whllo the digestive organs
are diseased.
This IE plain , because every organ In the
body depends on the stomach for Its nour
ishment. Nerve , bone , sinew blood are made
from the food which our stomach converts
to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this ,
that and the other remedy and neglect the
most Important of all , the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of Indigestion arc
sour risings , bad taste In the moutli gas In
stomach and bowels , palpitation , nil gone
feeling , falntncss , headaches , constipation
later comes loss of flesh , consumption , liver
and heart troubles , kidney diseases , nervous
prostration , all of which are- the Indirect re
suit of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from Indigestion
should make It a practice to take after each
meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets , al
lowing U to dissolve In the mouth and thus
mlnglo with the saliva and enter the stomach
In the most natural way. These tablets
are highly recommended by Dr. Jcnnlson be
cause they ore composed of the natural di
gestive acids and fruit essences which as
sist the stomach In digesting all wholesome
food before It has tlmo to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists , full sized packages at 50 cents.
They arc also excellent for Invalids and
children. A book on stomoch diseases and
