Hun tin Atmniloii All Hope" of ( JeHlntC
Frclsht matters are Btlll unstable. The
various efforts that have been made to or
ganize something to take the placeof the
Western Freight association have failed
and each road Is free to slash rates as It
chooses. The prospects of an agreement
Among the various western lines have been
dimmed by the announcement of General
Manager Jlumscy of the Wabaah that he
would not enter Into any compact concern
ing rates. He gives as the reason for this
refusal the failure of other roads to keep
faith after making agreements concerning
rates. This statement and the persistent
refusal of President Stlckney of the Great
Western to attend any meetings looking
toward a settlement of the question are
almost mifllclent to cause the other freight
officials to abandon all hope of reaching an
amicable agreement.
Meanwhile further reductions continue to
be announced with the usual regularity.
The Missouri Pacific has announced a new
rate on tin boxes , tin cans , lard palls and
paint pots from St. Louis to Omaha , effective
yesterday. The new rate Is 21 cents per 10D
pounds , ft reduction of 3 cents. It applies
to straight or mixed carloads , with n
minimum limit of 16,000 pounds. Freight
men about town say that notwithstanding the
dally reductions , there Is but little freight
moving. The reductions have failed to
Increase traffic , and freight cars are OH
plentiful as ever. It was thought that the
cut In the rate on hard coal from Chicago
and other lake points to Missouri river
points weuUl stimulate this class of busi
ness , but most of the dealers arc holding off
apparently for a further reduction that Is
generally expected. There Is a general
rumor that the rate on soft coal has been
cut , but no announcement of the fact has yet
been given out by any of the Omaha lines.

General Agent Phllllppl of the Missouri
Pacific has returned from a trip to Kansas
City and Chicago. When asked hta opinion
about the outcome of the case of the Ne
braska Starch factory of Nebraska City
against the road that he represents nnd
which will be heard by the State Hoard
of Transportation on November 13 , ho said
that there could bo no doubt about the
failure of the case. "The Morton brothers
want cheaper rates on corn Into Nebraska
City based on the cuts that have been made
on corn Into Kansas City and St. Louis.
It. Is seldom that local rates are cut during
a rate war that necessitates the reduction
of through rates. "
Itilllriiiiillnpr in Iilalio.
Under the direction of J. M. Clark , chief
engineer of the Holse , Nampa & Owycc , tin-
work of grading for the new road has been
completed for about ten miles out of
Nampa , Idaho. A mile of grade from the
Snake river toward Nampa has already
been completed and there Is but little grad
ing that remains to be done. It Is expected
that the road will be finished up to the river
before winter puts a stop to the work. There
Is but ono bridge of any size to be built
and that Is a fiOO-foot steel bridge across
the Snake river.

The Union Pacific will carry the Julia

The Iowa Central has announced that it
will meet the reduction that has been made
In the rate on anlhraclto coal from Chicago
to Missouri river points.
J. L. Harris of Fort Worth , Tex. , a live
Block agent of the Chicago Union Stock

The Santa Fe fast train , which Is to be
put on November 4 between Chicago nnd
San Francisco , will be run but twice a week
leaving Chicago on Wednesday and Satur
day. Last year , during the winter months
It was run dally , but was not profitable , con
sequently , like the Southern Pacific , but tv.'o
tralus each way will be run weekly.
The Wisconsin Central has withdrawn
from tha Western Passenger association. It
Is thought that it will remain out of the
fold only long enough for it to put In re
duced rates to points In the Fox river val
ley October 9. Application was made to the
association for privilege to grant the rates.
Permission was refused and the road then
announced that it would put In the rates
anyway.

Another practical Illustration of the util
ity of the Itocntgen rays in diagnosis anil
surgery was furnished yesterday. Miss Jen
nie Arthur of 710 North Twentieth street
ran a cambric needle Into the fishy part of
the palm of the hand last Thursday , the
necdlo breaking oft and leaving over half
of the pointed end in the hand. An In
cision was made soon after In the truck of
the needle , but the most careful search
failed to locate It. E. B. Smith of the Ne
braska telephone exchange klnflly placed
his valuable lloentgen opparatun at the dis
posal of the pp.tlent and physician. Though
plainly showing the bones of the hand the
lluoroscopo did not locate the needle .no It
could be seen with the naked eye. A Hoent-
gen ray photograph was then taken and
the needle could be plainly seen In the
negative. Careful measurements of the
photograph and hand were then made and
the supposed alto of the needle fixed with
a pencil mark. This showed the nccdlo to
ho a half Inch from where the Incision had
been made In the track of the needle. An
Incision across the iiencll mark struck the
necdlo midway -and at the depth of half an
Inch. It was then extracted , the fragment
being three-fourths of an Inch In length.
The operation was performed by the old of
cocaine applied locally.

Charles Deal of South Omaha attributes

discussed the money question ho would be
sound and whole.
Upon Invitation Heal and his wlfo visited
a friend who lives at Sixth and Hickory

ducats and they all thoroughly enjoyed
themselves over a case of refreshments. The
Inevitable political argument , however ,
finally developed and resulted disastrously
for Ural. Ho was on the wrong side and
the other men wcro unable to convince him
with words. Therefore he saja that they
Jumped upon him , and the last thine he
knew was that he was stretched upon the
floor. Ho charges that the three then threw
him out of the house and In falling upon
the ground his leg was broken.
Deal di'cUed not to begin any prosecution
until ho could appear as a witness. There
fore , It was not until Friday that he
appeared at the police station , hobbling upon
crutches. No warrant will be Issued until
he brings his wltnosses before the city
prosecutor.

SWEENEY GETS NINETY DAYS

Trial linn to 1'ny tlic
I'ciinlly.
The last of the Jury bribers In the llolln
embezzlement case was disposed of by Judge
Haker yesterday morning when he sDiilcnced
George L. Sweeney to ninety days In the
county Jail and to pay a fine of $500.
Sweeney la the man who acted as the
go-between In the case where Morrell
( Jump , Sweeney's brothcr-lu-law , confessed
that he had received $50 for hanging the
Jury In the first trial of Henry llolln. the
cx-clly treasurer , afterwards convicted of
embezzling city funds. Gump was a mem
ber of the Jury and James Fltzpatrlck tcs-
tlfltd on the trial of the case that ho ne
gotiated a deal with Gump through
Swccnoy , whereby Gump was to vote for
acquittal and hang the Jury If he could not
force a verdict of acquittal. Gump ad
mitted having been bribed , but his con
fession did not Implicate 'Sweeney. ' Sweeney
denied having been In the deal , but was
convicted on the evidence of other wit
nesses ,
When Gump was sentenced Sweeney's
attorneys succeeded In getting a stay ol
sentence In his case on the ground that his
health wns affected by heat and ho wouli
not be able to survive confinement In the
inll ilurlnc hot weather. Since that time
Sweeney's attorneys have used every effort
to secure a light sentence , and have pre
sented netltloim to Judge Baker , setting
forth the fact that Sweeney had always
borne n irood reputation and asking that
ho bo given as light a sentence ns possible
Sweeney himself and his wife have also
held Interviews with the Judge for the same
nuruoso.
When asked yesterday morning If ho had
anything to say why sentence should not be
pronounced on him , Sweeney asserted his
Innocence and asked for further delay , say-
Inc he had some business matters whlcl
were of great Importance.
Judge Haker told him very plainly that
ho did not believe what he said about his
Innocence , and said he thought he had had
lime enough to arrange his affairs so that
he could retire from the world for n time
The Judge also said he was convinced tha
ho ought to give him a heavy sentence , but
ho had been Informed on the best authority
that Swceuey had formerly occupied posi
tions of trust and had been faithful to his
duties , nnd for that reason he would glvt
him as light a sentence as he felt war
ranted In doing.
After sentence had been pronounced
Sweeney was led to the sheriff's olllce , ac
companied by his wife. Doth wcro In
tensely Indignant and expressed their feel
ings In the strongest language. Tears were
shed by them and Sweeney was very despon
dent as he was led -to the Jail.
A few days ago Sweeney was about the
court hoiiEo and he freely predicted that If
Judge Ilakcr sentenced him to Jail there
would be an uprising of the citizens of South
Omaha which would startle the whole com
munity. He said the Jail would be torn
down and dire disaster would follow everyone
ono connected with his persecution.
Sweeney's brother-in-law , Gump , who has
been In Jail since he was sentenced by Judge
Ilaker last spring , has been at his old tricks
of playing sick , lately. He has pretended
that ho was In a dying condition and has
kept his bed and refused to cat. It has been
discovered , however , that when Gump thinks
nobody Is looking he gets up and walks
about his cell and smokes his pipe with
evident reHsh. He has been given to under
stand that if he wants anything' to cat he
will have to go to the dining room the same
as the other prisoners.

The republican primaries at which the
various aspirants fotfUho right to participate
In municipal IcglstnHcn test their popu
larity will be held nnxt Friday , and AS the
time approaches thoocontests In the various
wards are bjcomlntrmore than usually ex
citing. The candidate * for membership In
the Board of Education nro nearly over
looked In the scuffle- for the councllmanlc
nominations. The .l U r presents about as
lively a conflict of : ambitions as the local
republicans have crer been engaged In.
While each ward has i fight of Its own. the
fact that the counctlmen who arc candi
dates for re-election formed n close corpora
tion early In the campaign for the purpose
of pulling each other through has aroused n
certain sentiment against the combine , This
sentiment has been emphasized by the fact
that the combine engaged the services of
nearly all the working politicians on the
city pay roll , and also the good offices of
the corporations to whom councllmanlc
favor Is Important.
During the past day or two , however ,
symptoms of a disintegration of the com
bine have developed which may effect a
decided change In the situation. The begin
ning Is In the Fourth nnd Highlit wards ,
where F. B. Kcnnard and Cadet Taylor are
candidates for rc-clecllon. These two coun-
cllmen are said to bo the progenitors of the
original combination , and up to Friday
they were engaged In nn earnest effort to
pull each other through. But now they
have declared all bets off and decided that
each will go It alone hereafter. The trou
ble originated over the gas question , which
Is to some extent nn ! Issue In the campaign.
Hitherto both men were tied up with the
old gas company. Taylor Is said recently to
have changed front and given his adherence
to the new company which la seeking n
franchise. Kcnnard refused to follow suit
and It Is said that the parting was not
effected without some very acidulous ex
changes of opinion.
OLD FRIENDS DROP HIM.
The effect ot the new deal Is more marked
In the Eighth than In the Fourth ward.
Up to this time Taylor has enjoyed the
support of the street railway company and
other Influei ces , which arc conceded to have
a good deal of strength In that ward. It
Is now stated on the authority of one of
Taylor's supporters that Taylor's action has
cost him his best element of strength and
presages his defeat. Taylor's friends still
maintain that ho has a sure thing , but
Crocker Is making a red-hot campaign and
his supporters are equally confident.
The corporation Influence Is also cuttliiB
a good deal of figure In the Ninth ward.
All contestants ore said to bo courting it.
Mercer Is assisted by Charley Unlit , Ed
P. Davis and other workers , while David
son's support Is more largely confined to
the clement that Is not so closely connected
with the machine. Mercer offered Friday
to bet $100 to $25 that ho would beat David
son out as an Indication of his faith In
himself.
Down In the First ward Pete Back and
Erne.it Sti'ht are fighting each other as
usu.il. The two mon have been rival can
didates as long as cither can remember , and
this year there la no other horse In tin-
race and they will have a chance to light
It out without Interference. Back has been
successful In every- previous contest and
has lots of confidence , hut he hasn't a bit
the advantage of Stuht when it comes to
confidence. Stunt has long been famous
as ono of the most confident Individuals
who ever elevated a lightning rod. Ike
Hascall Is coquetting- with the democrats
for the councllmanlo nomination as a re
ward for his fourteenth consecutive deser
tion from the republican party. But his
overtures have not been encouraged and
M. F. Funkhauser Is said to be first In the
democratic line.
Up in the biff Sixth there is- still a
surplus of candidates ) although a number
of those first announced have pulled in
their ambitions and reserved them for a
more promising opportunity. II. C. Better-
man , Irving C.r.5right. . Louis Llttleflelil
and Myron D. IffLf acorn to..lead . the field
at present , wrliIiij.Bttermau at the pile.
A. W. Johnson W-e | withdrawn , presumably
In Betttrman's Interest , nnd C. L. Jayncs ,
the present councilman from that ward ,
Is said to favor Hetterman as his successor.
As Jaynes Is not a candidate for re-election ,

A Sound Money Nou-Partlsan league was
orcanlzcd at an enthusiastic meeting of
local business men and wage-earners Friday
night. The feature of the meeting was the
representative character of those who par
ticipated. The crowd Included a number of
the most prominent business men of the
city , and with them were workers in the
Union Pacific shops and representatives of
other lines of Industrial effort. The discus
sion was harmonious and the Idea of form
ing an organization solely for sound money
without reference to political belief was
unanimously endorsed. The organization
was nerfectcd bv the election of Dr. George
L. Miller president and W. A. Webster sec-
ivtfarv. Some nlann of future work were
discussed , but nothlntr definite was decided
on. Before the next meeting the member
ship list will be circulated , and then the
league proposes to take an effective part
In the remainder of the campaign , The
declaration of principles is brief and to the
point. H Is :
"Those who si bs.crlbe this declaration
thereby signify that they believe the fol
lowing :
"In the existing standard of money , under
which the nation has malntalncil Its finan
cial equality among thn great powers.
"We protest against the change proposed
by those favoring the free and unlimited )
coinage of silver , believing It would lead .
to sliver monometallism , Infinite suffering
and general bankruptcy. j
"Wo bellove that all other political differ- \
cnccs arc subordinate to the financial qurs- i
lion and should not bo discussed In the
meetings of this league. "

from the Officer.
There will not bo any prize fighting In
this vicinity If the police can help U. In
view of the fact that arrangements are being
made on the quiet to bring together two
local colored pugs , Paul Murray and Aaron
Sherroy , the chief of police has Issued his
manifesto.
A few days ago n pug Issued a challenge
to any and all comers for a pugilistic en
counter , nothing being barred. The other
very promptly took up the mitten and drew
up his code of conditions. Thu usual
llnguletlcal sparring has taken place dur
ing the past few days nnd n part of the
preliminary proceedings crept Into the dally
press nnd upon them the eye of the chief
of police alighted.
According to the statutes of the state ,
prize lighters , together with gamblers , are
classed as common vagrants. The chief
determined to act under this provision and
a few days ago Issued orders to the force
to arrest the men on sight. The pugs have
kept out of sight very successfully , but
Murray Friday passed across the line of
vision of Officer Honk.
The encounter occurred on North Twenty-
fourth street. The fighter developed a de
cided objection to going to Jail. Despite
his pugilistic Ability , though , and his pc.inut-
Mzert f mo In dealing uppcrcuts and other
strokes , the officer was very rapidly getting
the better of the scrap. The officer alleges
that At this MSKO of the proceedings A
colored inAn , Parker , who runs a feed store
on North Twenty-fourth street , took a hand
In the row , The second round started ,
therefore , with thrco In the ring , Parker
Is charged with holding on to the officer
while Murray wrenched himself from his
grasp and nude his escape down the street.
Honk reported the occurrence to his
superior officers And the result will be the
Issuance of a warrant for Parker's arrest
on the charge of Interfering with nn omcor
In the discharge of his duty. The police
officers are still looking for the two prize
fighters with the expectation of landing
them In J.tll and keeping them there until
they give up their Idea of fighting , If they
ever had such an Idea.
