The meeting of the presidents of various
Western roads In Chicago for the avowec
purpose of puttlns a stop to the reductions
In freight ratce that have been moat con
slant for a week past and for reaching ai
amicable agreement that should be adherec
to by the different lines , has adjournci
without transacting the business for which
It was called together. It Is hinted tha
this Is because of the open refusal of 1'resl
dent Stlckncy of the Great Western to come
Into the fold.
At nny rate the work of patching up mat
ters has been turned over to the genera
freight agents. Freight Traffic Manager
Munroc of the Union Pacific went to Chicago
Thursday evening , presumably to attend
this conference. Tlio other Omaha lines
will bo represented by their Chicago officials
Just what will bo the outcome of the meet
ing Is ( llfllcult to state , but railroad men
generally , nnd freight men especially , arc In
lioprs that 1:01110 : agreement or union will bo
decided upon to talto the place of the
Western Freight association , deceased.
In the meanwhile the reductions on
various commodities continue to bo an
nounced by various lines with startling
regularity. ; Thrso rates are generally met
by competing lines with uniform regularity.
The latest reduction affecting Omaha Is that
Announced In rates on coko. From St.
Louis to Omaha the rate has been cut from
| 2.05 to $1.55 a ten , o , reduction of GO cents
a ton. Ordinarily there Is considerable coke
shipped Into Omaha , but the largest con
sumer , the Omaha & Grant Smelting works ,
Is now supplied with sulllclont coke to run It
several months. The beet sugar factory at
Norfolk alf.o . consumes a great deal of coke ,
and It Is thought that It will take advantage
of the cut and liven up freight matters
a trine.

For the past four months the Union Pa
cific lias done a large business In the trans
portation of green fruit from California to
the east. Most of this 1ms been hurried to
Now York , from whence It has been shipped
to Liverpool and later used for supplying
the markets of London. The business this
season has been an unusually prolltablo one
for thu railroad company and the receipts
of the freight department have been swelled
not a llttlo on account of handling this
business. In the month of June , In the be
ginning of the season , there were from a
half dozen to a dozen cars of green fruit
from tbo orchards of California passed
through Omaha dally. As the season ad
vanced the number grew and In August and
September the number of cars cadi day
would frequently reach forty and fifty , pro'J-
ably averaging twcnty-flve cars a day.
The season Is about over now and the
amount of fruit going cast haS already com
mpnced to fall off. The season has been the
best that the Union Pacific has ever had ,
with one exception. During the summer of
1SD3 , the World's fair year , enormous quan
tities of fruit were shipped cast from Cali
fornia , Chicago alone using Immense con
signments. The fruit this year has been
handled In a splendid manner. Fast time
lias been made , and , as the time between
the two coasts Is shortened , the amount of
fruit that Is sent east for export Increases.
It Is thought that next year's business will
prove to lie a record breaker unless the
fruit crop Is a failure or the Britons stop
"
eating" fruit altogether.

The first Nebraska member of the Union
Pacific family Is Just about to pass out from
the family circle , and under foreclosure pro
ceedings.
The Kansas CHy Omaha railroad was
sold some tlmo ago under foreclosure pro
ceedings and July 23 an order was entered
In the- United States court confirming the
Bale. There were lately placed on file with
the secretary of state at Lincoln articles
of Incorporation of a new company. This
company , which Is known as the Kansas
City & Omaha Hallway company , will doubt
less purchase and operate the road. When
the now company takes possession the
operation of the road will bo entirely Inde
pendent of the Union Pacific receivers , and
It will l > o the first of the Union Pacific lines
In Nebraska to go under a sepa
rate management. The purchase and
operation of the road by the
now company have been delayed somewhat by
the unstable financial condition of the coun
try. It Is said , but the change Is ono that
may bo looked for at an early date now.
An examination of the records of the
cleric of the federal court also shows an or
der for the sale of the St. Joseph & Grand
Inland road under foreclosure proceedings.
This order has not yet been carried out. and
It Is difficult to state just when It will be.

Yesterday morning Max Koscnthal almost

pects of robbing his residence In Fremont
but the chap slipped through his fingers In a
very exasperating manner.
Hosonthal's residence was burglarized on
the nlghi of September 13. n largo quantlt >
of clothing and other articles being taken
Including a gold and a silver watch. A
couple of days afterward ono of his neighbors
found tha clothing hidden In a haystack
upon his premises. Thursday Hoscnthal
came to this city to Investigate , nnd after a
bit of detective work found his watches In a
llttlo Jewelry store near Thirteenth and
William streets , whcro they had been left
for repair.
Yesterday morning Hosenthal waited for
the man who had left the watches and was
finally rewarded by seeing him enter the
store. The fellow , however , was Just as
quick In seeing Hosenthal , nnd without more
ado bolted out of the door and escaped.
Hoscnthal has now appealed to the police
for assistance.

southern states :
OPELtKA , AIW Sept. 14. The Arkansa
election may notbo a criterion as to popn
lar sentiment om a public issue , but It 1
fraught with gra o lgnlflcance.
The Arkansas 'free silver "fraudocrats
have brazenly dcmonatratcd It to the hones
people of the nation that , whenever an
wherever the free silver "fraudocrats" ar
In charge of the election machinery thcr

Insolent fraud )
Whllo the lou.l-mouthcd free silver an
"fratidocratlc" oardldato discoursed Upo
the power of the ballot at Chicago , then , n
doubt , his managers In Arkansas wcro cau
cussing as to what extent they would ma
nlpulate the vote of that state. Bryan I
not unacquainted with Arkansas electlo
methods , without ho Is woefully Ignorant
I charge that the criminal result of th
criminal election ( ? ) recently supposed t
have been held In Arkansas Is as much o
treason as was the firing on Fort Sumter
The counting of votes that wcro not cast
the counting of votes different to the wa
In which they wcru cast and the revcrsln
of majorities that were cast , as Is the usua
custom In southern "fraudocratlc" elections
Is treason to our form of government am
the traitors should be hung or shotl
A clause In the section of the election law
( ? ) of Arkniip.iH says that opposing partte. .
shall have Inspectors at the voting places
"provided suitable persons may bo found. '
Only the free silver "fraudocrats" found
suitable persons , It seems , In this recen
election.
The governor , the attorney general and tin
secretary of utato constitute the State Hoan
of Election Managers for Arkansas , and thej
appoint the county boards and the count }
boards appoint the precinct boards. It Is a
partisan allalr , of course.
The opponents to the "fraudocrats" gc (
representation , however , "If suitable poi
sons may bo found I"
The Idea , then , of an Arkansas election
being significant of anything but of polltlca
theft !
The condition of things existing In Ar
kansas Is no better In Mississippi , nor an
the "fraudocrats" any less Intolerant In
Louisiana. Alabama nnd Georgia.
Is not Bryan , of all men , a nicy ? creature
to prate on the gospel of a pure ballot , run
ning as he does In the south with a gang
of political desperadoes !
I warn the free and liberty loving men of
the north and west to beware of the spirit
of bourbonlsm that would permeate Bryan's
administration In event ho is counted In
Look now at the management of his cam
paign and sec an Arkansas free silver "fraud ,
ocrat" nt Its head ! I say here , plainly , that
I would not trust Chairman Jones , polit
ically , any further than I could throw an
Arkansas bull by the tall , so far as matters
In elections.
Let the people of the north nnd west beware -
ware clso bourbon election methods arc
transplanted from Arkansas and Georgia to
the north and west.
Chairman Jones of Arkansas nnd Clark
Howcll of Georgia arc not running Bryan's
campaign without a purpose.
Not only for good government to you , but
for the hope of good government to the people
ple of the south do I appeal to the people ol
the north and west not to allow a four years
reign of free silver "fraudocracy" and the
rule of bourbonlsm.
People of the .north and west have the
power to not only save themselves , but they
can save those In the south who arc power
less to help themselves from the terrible
results that would follow In event of the
success of this conglomerated aggregation of
fraud and frauds.
To those In the south who are struggling
for civil rights , the result will mean a
dark era In event of Bryan's success , for It
will Increase the now arrogant and base
spirit of those who bellovo that none but
the free sliver "frauaocrats" have a right
to a volco In our government. To you In
the north and west , the question of a fair
% 'oto in the south should bo of equal In
terest. A i'raudulently elected southern
congressman has equal voice with the hon
estly elected congressman from the north.
The fraud owes Its allegiance only to false
returns nnd cannot be repudiated as lotrg
as tbo state of things exists as prevails In
Arkansas. You , In the north and west ,
may repudiate your unfaithful representa
tives , but , If you fall not to defeat Bryan
and control the next congress , you nro as
much in the power of "fraudocracy" as arc
wo In the south so far as concerns national
affairs.
Will the patriotic nnd honest people of
: ho north nnd west align themselves with
ballot box stuffing bourbons , and thus be
come conspirators with them to steal the
administration of government for the next
lour years ? Is the paramount question.

room In the llttlo tavern was a kind of a
summer-house affair , out In the yard , with
a door on each of two sides , and was only a
'ow feet up from the ground on a kind of a
ilatfonn veranda. Wo had several hundred
dollars which wo had collected , and tbo
safest place wo could put it was In our
satchels In our room.
"For a Wonder the doors had locks on
.hem , but the upper part of the door was
made in Venetian shutter style , and a man
with a long arm could , by stretching , proba-
jly reach the lock. Wo weren't very much
afraid , and merely lockeU the doors without
lotlclng the shutter part at all. Besides , It
was dark when wo went to bed , as wo didn't
want a Jj hJ to attract the Insects. We
slept without disturbance until the first
gray streaks of dawn , and then wo were
awakened by a queer nolso at tto doors.
"We suspected thieves at once , nnd , as
quiet as mice , wb slipped out of bed and be
gan to reconnoitre. When I got to my
leer It kind of gave mo the creeps to see a
llrty yellow band thrust through the ( shutter
and stretching Itself downward toward the
ock , and I was tempted to yell and scare
ho marauder away ; However , I kept my
icrvo , and In a- second or two It was
strangely fascinating to watch the efforts
of that hand to reach the lock. My partner
was having the same kind of an experience ,
and the tlilevea were evidently Intending to
sko us 'a-comln' an' n-gwlno. '
" \Vo Blood Irresolute for a minute , and
hen my partner made a elgn to mo to hand
ilm an old lariat hanging on the wall. This
n a second ho had looped at each end , and I
saw the trick. Tbo next mlnuto wo had a
land aplcco looped at each end of the rope ,
and had pulled Iti tight Inside. Everything
lad been perfectly , still up to thU time , and
low It was stiller than ever. I do- not
enow what the thieves thought had happened
o them , but they were caught , and as soon
as wo got the rope knottcil wo let go , and
hey discovered that they were tied to-
; other and there wasn't any way for them to
; ct away unless ono of them pulled the other
hrough the knothole , so to speak ,
"Then1 It becaino funny , and wo sat there
nearly splitting1 , but never making a sound.
n a mlnuto or two more wo could sea
another band coming through with a long ,
ugly knlfo In It , trying to cut the rope hold-
Df ; tbo 11 rut hand , but wo had ( Jrawn. them
ar through , and the other hand could not
reach , 0 ? course we > expected now to hear
a yell , and have eomo kicking and other
llsturbancca , but tbo stoicism of tbo Indian
va In them , and they never raado a Bound
until tbo landlord himself spoke to them
vhen ho came to wako us up ,
"That was two1 hours or inoro later , and
vo had In the meantime gone back to bed
o finish our morning nap , trusting to luck
bat they wouldn't get away , The landlord ,
vhcn ho discovered them , made more noise
n a mlnuto than all four of ua had made
Inco the act began , and when wo got up
t was to find our garden house surrounded

EXTRA BIG
This morning we put in stock two new suits for boys
which arc big values extra big. You save a clean dollar
lar on each suit by reason of their not being on hand four
weeks ago when they were due , and on top of that you
save the difference between "The Nebraska" regular price
and the irregular price of places where they have a pen
chant for conjuring with odd cents. Suit No. i is an all
wool cheviot of a dark bluish gray in pin check pattern
and was intended to sell for three dollars , bat you may
have it for two dollars now , and Suit No. 2 is a heavy
Scotch tweed suit in a reddish brown plaid effect which
we have marked $3.50 instead of $4.50 on account of its
arriving too late ! We have each of these suits in sizes
from 4 to 14 years. We have only a hundred of each
suit. We don't know how long they will last , but we do
know that they won't last long if the psoplc who come to
see them take a look around before they come in. You
may see as good suits marked $3.00 and $5.00 , but you
won't see any better suits marked $2.97 or $4,98 , Of that
we are sure.

HELPING OUT THE FEEDERS
Money in Sieht to Furnish Consumers for
Nebraska's ' Corn Crop.
BIG PACKERS COME TO THEIR RESCUE
Action AVI. loll MoniiN Mtu-li in No-
britHlcn JiiNt nt TlilH Time When
1 OtlHTH IIllVU ItvfllNUll i
, | . , . Accoiiiuioiliitloiu i | , i I
For some tlmo It has been apparent that
the big packers were becoming alarmed at
the prospects of securing a eupply of good
cornfcd cattle tbo coming season. This
would seem strange , when It Is
known that throughout the great corn
belt the greatest crop of corn ever known
In the country had been raised. Neither was
there any lack of stock cattle. The trouble
has been that moneyed men who have In
the past made a business of furnishing
money to stock feeders , or In common
parlance , handled stock paper , have become
alarmed over the free silver agitation and
the threatened unsettling of business and
refused to i.ut out any money until the
Issues of the pending campaign were settled.
That there was plenty of money has never
been denied and It has also been admitted
that stock paper has always been considered
ono of the safest cf Investments , but under
existing conditions those who have In the
past been engaged In this business refused
lo put out any money for any purpose. The
packers must have stock , end If they get
it the feeders must be furnished with money
: o buy tbo cattle and fatten them. Some of
: ho largest interests In that line have com
bined and formed a company , with head
quarters at South Omaha , with a capital
stock cf $1,000,000 to engage In the business
of loaning money to stockmen. They have
faith enough In the result of the pending
contest not to wait until after election , and
mvo gone right into business , and during
.he few days their office has been open they
mvo put out over $60,000. and say they wll"
ccommodatc every feeder who comes to lhn :
with good credit , who wishes to use the
money for this purpose.
The benefit of the formation of this com
pany and the starting up In business at this
Imo can tardly be estimated. That the
promoters of the company are doing It for
un or out of charity Is not entertained for a
minute. It had become a matter of self-
preservation In their own business and bo-
Ides there Is an assurance of a profit In
he transaction. If the usual percentage of
Vcbraska's corn crop can be fed within the
tate It will mean an Increase of several
cuts on the value of every bushel of corn
alsed within Its borders and this is no in-
onsldcrablc amount. It will also add inn-
crlally to the value of every head of feeder
attlo In tbo state and in the country
rlbutary to this market.
Scarcely anything that could have been
tarted just at this time would have hail
ho same far-reaching effect as the putting
f money Into the hands of the feeders of
Nebraska and western Iowa to enable theme
o conduct their business as In times past.
Reports from out In the state are to the
fleet that a large portion of the farmers
md despaired of getting over 10 cents a
ushel for their com , owing to the shutting
ft of demand from the feeders , and the ac-
lon of this largo company will bring new
lope to them , as others will doubtless fol-
ow lu their woke and tide over the present
trlngcncy until after election and tbo rc-
ult of that contest Is confidently expected
o be such that It will unlock all of the
money which has been hoarded under the
car of free stiver and turn It Into the
aual channels of trade ,
