CHICAGO , Sept. 10. U has Just leaked
out hero that business of such Importance
was transacted at the meeting of the West
ern Passenger association on Tuesday ns to
make It ono of the most Important confer
ences held among railway men this year.
During the past year the passenger agents
of the western roads have been steadily
closing In on the ticket brokers , and they
have now taken a step that will , It Is
thought , almost force the brokers out of
business. The secretary of each local pas
senger association In the territory of the
Western Passenger association Is to be
clothed with authority BUlllclei't to allow
him to proceed with a case as teen as any
offense Is reported. Chairman Caldwcll late
to have at his command several prosecutors
who will Investigate a case as soon us It Is
reported.
The object of these provisions Is to secure
more speedy trials and more quickly bring
nny offending road to terms. Dy the method
that Is now In vogue much valuable time
Is lost In first considering the niitter In a
local association , and then In waiting for
the decision of Chairman Caldwrll , to whom
n case Is Invariable appealed from a local
passenger association. Under the new ar
rangement all complaints will bo lodscd
with the secretary of the local association.
Ho will at once proceed to arranga for a
trial of the accused road , and telegraph
Secretary Caldwell for the assistance of a
prosecutor. The latter will report on the
Ground as soon as he can travel from Chi
cago. An Investigation will be held at once ,
and a decision rendered as soon as prac
ticable.
It Is understood that all of the roads In
the association , with but a single exception ,
have agreed to the proposition. The road
which Is still considering the matter Is the
Wisconsin Central end the arrangement will
not be effective until the agreement of that
road Is obtained.
An Omaha railway man , who represented
his road at Tuesday's meeting of the
Western . 'Passenger association , was
shown the foregoing dispatch yester
day morning and after reading It said :
"YesThis Is substantially true.
I left the meeting before It adjourned
and so am not familiar with the en
tire proceedings. The Import of the
whole matter is the strengthening of the
local associations. At present It Is neces
sary for one road to fllo charges against
another road. Because of personal and other
reasons railway men dislike very much to
do this and many violations that should be
mode coses of are Ignored , Under the new
provision It will not be necessary for a
representative of one road to formally appear
against a representative of the road that
has made the break. The local secretary
will toke up the matter himself and file
charges for the prosecutor of the associa
tion. Chairman Culdwoll will be Informed
at once and will Immediately dispatch a
prosecutor to the scat of trouble. The latter
will then take hold of the matter and
thoroughly Investigate It. "
Another prominent passenger man of an
Omaha roud , who returned from the
Chicago meeting yesterday morning ,
said that the report of the de
cision to appoint several prosecutors
was correct. Ho believed that the
system would prove to bean excellent one.
Under the present method violations were
overlooked because ono road hated to make
out a case against a competing road and
prosecute It. Thh reluctance , he said , would
count for nothing under the system that Is
about to bo adopted because the prosecutors
will be perfectly Independent , and will not
hesitate to lllo charges , no matter whoso
shoo It pinches , nor however tightly. He
did not know that the matter had become
public property , and did not desire his name
used In connection with any comnu'iit on
the matter.

CHICAGO , Sept. 10. The roads of the
Western Passenger association have agreed
to withdraw all their orders and to' ccaso
the payment of all commissions In the
territory of the roads of the Central Traffic
committee. The matter has for a long tlmo
been a bone of contention between the
roads of the two organizations , and has
at times stirred up considerable feeling on
the part of the cast lines. They have re
peatedly requested of the western roads
that they remove the orders , but the latter
have always put the matter off. Now , how
ever , they have agreed that after October 1
all the orders shall bo removed.
In relation to the demoralization In west
ern passenger rates nt some of the Missouri
river gateways It has been found that the
chief Bource of the trouble was the applica
tion of short line rates In circuitous routes.
To put a stop to this the association has
resolved that , effective September 15 , all
round trip summer tourist tickets from the
territory of the Western Passenger associa
tion to and through the eastern gateways of
the association shall be withdrawn from
sale at once at the Missouri river points ,
from Kansas Rlty to Sioux City Inclusive , on
telegraphic notice by the chairman.

OMAHA , Sept. 10. To the Citizens of
Omaha and State of Nebraska : I came to
Omaha over sixteen years ago and I am
therefoio as much Interested In the welfare
of our city and state ns anybody , I regard
the outcomeof the Transmlsslppl and In
ternational Exposition as a very Important
matter to our city ( I am a shareholder In It
niybt'lf ) and It i > ccms to mo that It Is about
tlmo to do something In the way of getting
the $300,000 subscribed and collected , so
that wo can go to work and have It decided
where to build It , and how to build It. It
matters little where wo build It ; whether It
bo In the south , north , east or west part of
the city. The main thing Is to so arrange
muttera that we arc euro to get It here In
18D3. In my opinion It will be the greatest
enterprise that Omaha bus ever seen and It
can not fall to do a great amount of good
to a city 111(0 Omaha , If I was aa rich and
Independent as some of our Omaha men
I would not bo afraid of taking shares to the
amount of $10,000 or moro In order to get
the exposition ready In tlmo to open It In
May or Juno , 1898. The mpnoy for It has
got to come from places where It Is to bo
found. Wo cannot get It all out of the poor
people and as you all know It Is Impossible ,
to pick roses where no roses grow. Now
let some of our rich people that call them
selves loyal go to work and subscribe and
try to help It along or wo will have no ex
position In 1S98. There Is only a little over
a year and a half to do It In and no tlmo to
lose.
In regard to a union depot or any other
depot In place of the shanty at Tenth and
Mason streets , I have this much to say , that
I have seen cities of about 3,000 people , both
here and In Europe that have railroad sta
tions that would look like palaces If they
wcro been alongside of any of the passenger
stations In the city of Omaha. The railroad
corporations ought to be ashamed of them
selves when the city and government have
done so much for such corporations , Now
I say let the- railroad companies show that
they appreciate what the city and the gov
ernment has done for them.

LEAVES BEHIND THINGS OF MORE VALUE
I'rctnlMcM of \Voinnn llnlilcil ! > ) the
1'ullcc mill n l.ni-KC ( Innntlty
of Stolen Property ,
Unearthed. ,
Mrs. Mary Sullivan , now living at Thirty-
fourth and Decatur streets , has again be-
cume entangled In the meshes of the police
'net. A nrrabcr of petty crimes have been
committed of late , ajid In the hope that
they might glean some Information to clear
up the matter , officers paid Mrs , Sullivan
a visit Wednesday.
The little cottage occupied by Mrs. Sulli
van was found to bo fast approaching the
appearance of a store house. There were
lurgo quantities of household goods packed
away In the house. Mrs. Sullivan , however ,
teemed to have taken good care to remove
all marks of Identification from them. Ono
batch of fine linen attracted the attention
of the officers. Us value was about $100.
Sheets , table cloths and towels were In
abundance , but from almost every piece the
owner's mark had been cut and the hole
patched with a now piece of cloth , finally ,
however , the officers discovered a towel
which bore the Initials " 11. 11. P. " This
was taken to the station.
Yesterday Robert II. Patrick Informed
the police that Mrs. Sullivan had returned
to his residence In Happy Hollow a largo
quantity of his household linen. Ho was
shown the towel that had been brought In
by the officers and at once Identified It as
his own. The suspicion aroused by these
circumstances speedily developed Into a
fact.
fact.Mr. . Patrick explained that Mrs. Sullivan
has been In the employ of his family for
about a week. It was during this time
that she took about $100 worth of household
linen. She evidently knew that she would
bo discovered when the officers paid her
their visit and therefore she attempted to
settle matters by returning the stolen goods ,
Mr. Patrick , however , Is not satisfied with
such a settlement. As a matter of fact
ho wants to dictate the terms of the set
tlement himself. Therefore ho swore out
a complaint against the woman , charging
her with grand larceny.
Mrs. Sullivan's troubles are not likely to
end with the Patrick case. The police
are trying now to connect her with another
crime. This Is the daylight robbery of
the residence of Mrs. Drown , 3202 Franklin
street , which was reported Wednesday. This
Is in the Immediate vicinity of Mrs. Sulli
van's home. This crime bears the marks
of Mrs. Sullivan's line of work and In addi
tion when the officers visited the place they
found beneath the window , through which
entrance was made , the Imprint of a woman's
shoe In the soft ground. This Is looked
upon as a very damaging bit of evidence
against Mrs. Sullivan.
Mrs. Sullivan exhibits peculiar tastes In
her mania. She seems to desire only flno
linen and clothing and Is Inclined to over
look more valuable articles. This was
shewn In the Patrick robbery and also In
that of the Ilrown house , It ehe committed
the latter. She did not take any silver
ware from the Patrick's , although she had
a chance to do so. When the Urown house
was burglarized there were several watches
and a considerable sum of money scattered
about , but none of this was taken.
The same trait was manifest In Mrs. Sulli
van's character when she was arrested last
spring. Out of her house at Eighteenth and
Mnnderson streets , nn old condemned shack ,
live wagon loads of stuff were removed , all
of It having been stolen. The greater portion
tion of the properly consisted of clothing
and household' ' linen. Care Had been taken
In the selection , for It was mostly of the
finest kind.
Mrs. Sullivan was very lucky In thlb In
stance. She was bound over to the dis
trict court on three different charges of
burglary. Three weeks thereafter she- was
arraigned for trial In the district court.
In the Interval she and her attorneys
worked the sympathy dodge for all It was
worth , and with success. She Is an old
woman , and Innocent In appearance. Judge
Baker allowed her to plead guilty to petty
larceny , and she was sentenced to one day's
Imprisonment In the county Jail.
The woman has apparently no accomplices.
When her Manderson street house was
raided last spring the police believed that
she was running a fence for thieves. Officers
tried hard to locate the latter , but without
success , and they finally came to the con
clusion that she did the work alone. Her
graft comprised burglary , especially of the
daylight kind , and the robbery of houses
Into which she obtained entrance as a do
mestic. She broke In through windows , and
after ransacking the houses thoroughly , de
parted with clothing and left Jewelry be
hind. The Drown burglary Is of this char
acter. " Another peculiarity of Mrs. Sulli
van's system Is that she makes apparently
no effort to dispose of stolen goods. She
packs them In her house and seems to be
content that they are In her possession.
The police are Inclined to believe that the
proposed to gather together a large quan
tity and then for safety's sake Intended to
ship them to some other city.

men are ordered to report to the chief of
the department for examination on next
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
One object of the examination will be to
select a man to nil the vacant position of

who , In the opinion of the officials , knows
best how to drive will be appointed. This
Is the primary object of the examination ,
but there Is also another. The commis

the various applicants are best suited. Their
aptltudo for different positions will be
noted and filed. This will obviate any
further examination of the men on the re

MAKE THE TERMS STRINGENT
Now Gas Ordinance Hedged About with
Many Ecstrictions.
CITY REQUIRES A HEAVY GUARANTEE
Committee on ( Inn nnd Kloctrlu
Annie Condition * Which the \ITV
Company MiiMt Act-opt llvtorc
FrnohlNu Will lie ( intiitvil.
An ordinance which proposes to grant n
franchise to the Nebraska Gas company ,
which was drawn up by Councilman Wheeler
as chairman of the committee on gas and
electric lights , and Introduced at the coun
cil meeting Wednesday night , differs very
materially from any similar ordinance that
has ever been considered by the city council.
It Is very strict In Its provisions , and If the
company accepts the franchise which It
proposes to offer It will do so under re
strictions that arc said to protect the In
terests of the city. The claim of members
of the commltttcc Is tint the tlty has learned
several lessons by reason of Its connection
with previous franchises asked for. They
admit that restrictions are placed on the
now gas company that do not hamper the
old company , but add that the fact that
loose franchises have been granted In the
past Is no reason why such a policy should
bo continued. ' The friends of the new
company assert that the effect of the ordi
nance will be to place It under restrictions
that will practically prohibit It from accept
ing the franchise. *
The new ordinance which la recommended
by the committee limits the life of the fran
chise to twenty-five years. U must bo ac
cepted within thirty days from the date of
the passage of the ordinance and the com
pany must deposit with the city treasurer
$50,000 in cash or municipal bonds as a
guarantee of good fnlth , to remain on deposit
until the plant Is completed. This feature
Is taken from the Kansas City ordinance.
The company Is also required to deposit
$3,000 as a guarantee that all streets that
are torn up for the purpose of laying mains
will be replaced In as good condition as
before. When the plant Is completed , $1,000
of tills amount will be returned , and the
remainder retained by the city.
This ordinance provides that the com
pany shall build a plant which will bo
equal In capacity , equipment and value to
Its plant at Kansas City. It must Invest
$600,000 , exclusive of the value of real
estate , In the two years following the ac
ceptance of ' .ho franchise. It Is also pro
vided that the location of the proposed
plant shall be approved by the mayor nnd
council. The company Is required to lay at
least fifty miles of mains and another pro
vision requires It to parallel all the mains
of the old company or of any other company
that may bo organized within three years.
On paved streets it must lay a main on
each side of the street In order that the
center of the street will not bo cut up to
make lot connections. The royalty to be
paid by the company is fixed at 5 cents per
1,000 feet of gas sold. It must make all
lot connections Inside of the property Hue.
The new company is prohibited from enter
ing Into any pool or combination with any
other company and from assigning its fran
chise to any other individual or corporation.
It is prohibited from bonding or mortgaging
the plant for more than two-thirds of the
actual capital Invested and no bonds or
mortgages can be executed without the con
sent nnd approval of the mayor and council.
The price to bo charged consumers Is
fixed at $1 per 1,000 feet In both ordinances ,
but In the one proposed by the committee
It Is also provided that wbcn any device
for cheapening the manufacture of gas is
Introduced In other cities the Omaha com
pany shall adopt It and reduce Its prices
lh > proportion. This applies also to the
contracts which the promoters have already
made. The .price for street lights Is flxei
at $18 ner lamp , or $12 per lamp for a
moonlight service ,

Washing- made graceful. "
( After a sketch iu New York Truth. )
We want to show it , because this
seems to be a woman who uses
\ - / rtPearline \ ( " " olp ) . She's doing no
ylU work to speak of , you see
"Jn\/7 \ = rf she doesn't look as if she
ever had to. She appears
to be rinsing out the clothes ,
after letting them soak in
Pearline ( nou' = ap ) and water ,
which is about all the labor
required.
The washboard we don't understand
unless she's ' washing it. Women who
use Pearline ( p p ) don't need a
.washboard ; They don't have that
tiresome , wearing rubbing over it.
But for cleaning washboards or
wood work'or paint or anything ofthe kind , then they
want Pearline.
Washing can't be made graceful unless it is made easy. Of
alUhe ways of.washing that are perfectly harmless , thu easiest ,
quickest , most economical , is with Pearline. 4 i

PROUD FOLKS.Hoc
There arc just enough proud folks in Omaha to save
"The Nebraska" a whole lot of printer's ink. There is
just as much difference between these folks and prudent
folks as there is between "The Nebraska" and other
stores. If all the proud folks in Omaha were to organize
themselves into a ' 'Society for the Suppression of Low
Prices and the Cultivation of Wilful Waste , " they couldn't
show up "The Nebraska to better advantage than they
are doing right now. They are advertising us well. They
are furnishing us with new customers. They arc helping *
us to sell Boys' Clothes. For instance "The Nebraska"
is selling a very stylish little Brown Scotch Suit for $2. ? 5
Other stores in town arc getting $4,50 for the same suit.
People who pay $4.50 for them are so proud at getting
something "swell" that they send their boys on dress ,
parade around the neighborhood , and the neighbors
take advantage of the opportunity to find out for sure
that it is exactly the sain ; suit "The Nebraska" is selling1
for $2.75. Ol course the proud folks don't believe it
They couldn't possibly be the same. There must be a
difference , they say , and there is a difference , but it ia
the difference between Extravagance and Economy
the difference between' Prudence and Pricle ! Sec the
