LOCAL TRAFFIC KEEPING UP WELL

Itnllmiy Note * .
I'ufflcnger men report that business Is
fairly Rood for this season of the jear ,
Through travel to the I'acinc coast Is es
pecially RtMxl anil local travel Is picking up ,
Since the Union I'acinc has withdrawn Its
Kearney local train Its "Overland Limited"
Is pretty well crowded every morning , the
Increase bcliiR larRcly In local travel ,
Several mornings of late local pasbcngcru
have been compelled to no without ocatfl.
The trade of commercial travelers , the busi
ness that In so desirable in the eyes of 11
passenger men , has not been better for a
long time. The sale of mileage boohs at
sno Farnam street ticket olllce for this month
Is already away ahead of what It was for the
whole month of October. In fact the sale o !
mileage books la formlnR the chief source ol
revenue at the local ticket offices these days.
It can , therefore , bo readily understood why
the ticket agentH arc opposed to having all
the western roads sell Interchanscablo mile-
i BRO books to bo used by a Western Passenger
5 association bureau. The change would cut
too deeply Into their receipts and their
monthly reports would then look a * though
a cyclone had swept through the office anil
deatrojcd Its business. Theatrical companies
nro moving around In pretty good numbers
and most of the roads arc getting their
money from the actors. One Omaha road
Buffered somewhat last week , however , be
cause a band of actors did not do the busl-
nrsfl they expected.
Wlillo travel Is all that could bo ex
pected at this season of the year , every
traveling passenger agent Is keeping Ms
weather eye out for large parties that ex
pect to go forth In the spring. 1'asaenger
agents arc already discussing cheap rate ?
to Washington for the Inauguration of Wil
liam McKInloy. It Is a foregone conclusion
that this function will be largely attended ,
especially from the eastern and central
portions of the country. Some rallroaderc
tlll hope that notwithstanding the adverse
vote of most transmlsslsslppl states several
larg' ' parties of sound money adherents will
go to Washington to greet their champion
on the occasion of Ills Inauguration.
The annual convention of the Young Pee
ple's Society of Christian Endeavor at San
Franrlsco , July 7-12 , Is already attracting
attention of passenger men. No society In
recent years has had Its meetings so well
attended as this body of young Christians.
It Is confidently expected that between
in , 000 and 20,000 delegates will assemble In
the metropolis of the 1'aclflc coast for this
convention.
Such a Urge movement will bring cheap
rates , probably the cheapest rates that have
ever been heard of thtough to thu Pacific
coast. The Kmleavorcrs always secure
cheap rated on account of the largo number
cf delegated that they always turn out , and
the number of persons taking advantage ol
the rates Is not at all conllncd to their
membership. San Francisco has lost this
convention once because the roads did not
make low enough rates to suit , and Is not
likely to let It go again. There Is already
a hue and cry among eastern people con
templating a western trip next summer
for the western roads to fix their rates.
An Omaha passenger man who recently re
turned from the cast said yesterday that
If the roads did not make a cheap trans
continental rate , fqr this trip before the
holidays , many people who , would like' to
como this way * would arrange to glvo their
trade to the Atlantic' ' steamship companies
instead of to the railroads ; " '

The decision In the matter of rates on
shipments from Omaha to Texas points , In
regard to which a committee from the Com
mercial club spent Bcvcrnl days of last
week In St. Louis , la still held In abeyance.
W. N. Babcock remained In St. Louis a day
or two , expecting Uiat the declalon would
bo known before his return , but his Informa
tion Is no more definite than that of the
other members of the committee. He was
assured tba a decision would probably be
reached some time the last of this week and
the Omaha shippers , especially the packing
house men , are w.iltlng for It with a good
deal of Interest. The point at Htako In
whether Omaha shall be placed on an equal
ity with Kansas City on shipments to Texnu
territory. As the rates now stand there Is
n discrimination of 7 cents per 100 pounds
In favor of Kansas City , which la a serious
handicap to the Omaha packers.

The question of rates for the transporta
tion of theatrical baggage , for a long tlmo
a most troublesome subject in western pas-
censer circles , has finally been solved.
Heretofore theatrical companies with baggage -
gage cars have been charged 25 cents a
mile for the transportation of every such
car. There has been , a reduction of 10 cents
n mile , the now rnte being 15 cents. The
minimum amount that can bo accepted for
a haul Is $10 , except In case of stop-overs ,
when the minimum amount may bo deter
mined by the railroad company. Theatrical
companies carrying twenty-five persons or
moro will bo entitled to one baggage car
free , providing that Uio total amount of
faro received from the company la at least

The II. & Si. passenger department Is In
vestigating the merits of another Improved
form of mileage hook. Like most of Its
recent predecessors , this Is said to be the
best yet offered to the railroad world. It
Is known as the Wilght mileage ticket , and
U a Philadelphia production. It Is a
homogeneous piece of paper , and does not ,
like most mileage books , consist of portions

\Vm-lil-llrriili1.
The WnrliMIcrnld suit against The Heo
Is dragging along very slowly In court
room No. I , the Introduction of testimony
being still In progress. J. I ) . Weaver and
M. H. Uhl , advertising solicitors employed
by The Ilco , wcru called to the witness stand
and testified that the amount of advertising
done by Omaha merchants was considerably
less In ISOf ! than It had been In 1895 , owing
to tin ; general stagnation In all lines of
business.
J. H. Evans , president of the National
Dank of Commerce and proprietor of a
carriage manufactory , shlrffactory , gent's
furnishing store and several laundries , testi
fied that the general condition of business In
the city and vicinity was much worse In 1S9G
than It had been In ISO.'i and that the
volume of business transacted was Ices.
On cross-examination the attorneys for the
World-Herald tried to counteract the force
of Mr. Evans' testimony by referring to the
bank clearings and asking him If they did
not furnish a criterion by which to deter
mine the conditions of business. Mr. Evans
replied that while thcso figures did Indicate
business conditions to a certain extent , there
were so many things In connection with
them which must bo taken Into considera
tion that they were not an Infallible Indica
tion and ho did not think they could bo
relied on In the matter under consideration.
The attorney expressed great surprise and
attempted to browbeat the witness Into
contradicting himself , but Mr. Evans re
fused to bo tangled up and stuck to his
assertion.
In the afternoon the deposition of J. A.
Klmborly , manager of the concern from
which the World-Herald bought Us paper ,
was read. Ho testified that he had not
Been the article In question , and had not
road It , a"nd that the credit of the World-
Herald was not Injured with his firm by
said article.
W. H. Hobcrson , local manager of R. 0.
Dun & Co.'s commercial agency , was called
to the stand. Ho testified that there .had
been n general depression In all lines ol
business In Omaha during the present
year , as compared with the previous year ,
and that forty-two business houses had gone
out of business during the year 1S90.
Hobert J. Clancy was the next witness.
Ho testified that ho had had an experience
In the newspaper business covering twelve
or thirteen years ; the last five or six years
having been spent as managing editor o ;
the Council niuffs Qlobo and the Salt Lake
Hurald. He said ho was familiar with the
advertising business In Omaha and Council
Dliirfs , and testified that the volume ot
the advertising business In 1806 was much
less than In 1893.

The election of fifty members of the board
of directors of the TransmlsslsslppI Exposi
tion association will begin at 7 o'clock next
Tuesday night at the Hoard of Trade rooms
and continue until an opportunity has been
offered to vote all the stock on which the 6
per cent assessment has been paid. As the
election approaches an effort has been made
to renew the agitation In favor of this and
that site , but without much apparent effect.
The Impression has become general that It Is
Important for the success of the exposition
that the question of site should not be con
sidered In the election of the directory. The
men who have brought the enterprise thus
far toward consummation are emphatically
of the opinion that the election of a dlicctory
oledgcd to any particular location would bo
a serious misfortune and so far as the
sentiments of the stockholders can bo ascer
tained they seem to be In favor of selecting
fifty of the best men as directors and then
let the various sites be considered on their
merits.
The time for paying the 5 per cent nesccs-
meut us n preliminary to voting for directors
will expire at 6 o'clock Saturday night , and ,
although n great many of the 'stockholders
hove , already paid , a largo number are waitIng -
Ing until the last day. Secretary Wakcfleld
saye that this Is likely to result In leaving
some ono out , for If all these who have not
paid como In Saturday the office will bo
swamped and unable to attend to every one.
It Is Important therefore that at least some
portion of the icmalnlng stockholders should
pay up a day or two before the limit ex
pired.
There Is some complaint from the smaller
stockholders that they are not sufficiently
familiar with the names of men who would
make good directors. This subject was can
vassed by the present board and several
members were In favor of selecting fifty
names and recommending them to the stock
holders , leaving vacant places for such
changes as each Individual might dcslro to
make. The proposition was frowned upon ,
however , on 'he ground that It would glvo
rise to a feeling- that the directors were
trying to pack the new directory and the
stockholders will have to vote according to
their own lileao. It Is suggested , however ,
that each stockholder select his list so far
on possible before the election , In order thai
he may bo prepared to vote Intelligently.
The attention of thrso holding proxies Is
called to the fact that the proxies which
wore Issued for the election of October 1 ,
which was subsequently postponed , arc nol
good for the coming election. The holders
should sco that the proxies are made for
December 1 and bring them to Secretary
Wnkeflcld at once and have them certified.
This will save them any difficulty when
they come to vote. _

Representatives of a number of local
charitable organizations met with the di
rectors of the society circus yesterday after
noon In the rooms of the Commercial club.
The conference lasted .nearly two hours.
About the only business transacted was
the arrangement of sideshows , which wllj
form an Interesting feature of the circus.
Among the sideshows will bo a Persian
theater , switchback , Sampson , dog show ,
lemonade , peanut and popcorn stands.
These will be managed by different chari
ties and the revenue derived from them
will bo their gain. These sideshows will
be opened promptly at 7 o'clock each evenIng -
Ing , and will run until long after the cir
cus proper hns como to a close. On the
morning of December 8 , the first day of
the circus , there will bo a street parade , the
principal fenturo of which will be the ap-
pcaranco of a whlto elephant especially Im
ported for the occasion.
The general commlttco of arrangements
for the charity circus met at the Murray
hotel last night for the purpose of meeting
persons who desired to take part In ihu
performance. The commlttco was over
run with artists In all lines , song-and-dance
men. clowns , gymnasts , slack or tight rope
walkers , riders and all the multitude of ar
tists which go to make up the modern cir
cus. Out of this mass of material the com
mit tee culled the best , and the lists will
bo filled by the Importation of first-data
artists from the largo eastern cities , a man
having been sent east to select the best ma
terial from among the largo number of
circus performers who are out of work
slnco the season closed.
The members of the committee stated
that they had secured a list of performers
largo enough to allow of conducting three
rings and keeping an Interesting perform
ance In all of the rings at all times during
the two hours or moro the big- circus will
bo In operation. In addition to this a num
ber of first-class attractions have been se
cured for the sideshows , and there Is every
Indication that the circus will bo exactly
what Its name Indicates , and will not be
merely a fake and catch-penny affair de
signed to deceive the public.
Wo are not surprised that people will
not take a new cough remedy , when they

P. J. Martin , who has been held at the
police station for four days without a spe
cific charge being lodged against him , was
yesterday morning discharged. This was
brought about principally by his energetic
talk to Police Judge Gordon , when ar
raigned as a suspicious character.
"If there Is anything against mo In this
or any other community , the police should
have discovered It In four days , " ho said ,
"I am ready for trial. They , however , lodge
ono charge against me , and then another
without being able to prove anything. I uni
an American citizen and demand that 1
get Justice. "
Martin , was arrested for having In his pos
session a vallso containing several pieces of
dress goods. Ho alleged that he was a ped
dler. The police suspected that ho stole the
goods , and therefore held him for the pur
pose of Investigation. Afterward some mem
ber of the force thought he looked like a
forger wanted In Sioux City. Yesterday a
sheriff came from that town to look at the
prisoner and stated that ho was not the
man. Ho lacked u bald head , which the
forger possessed. _ _

Shortly nftcr 3 o'clock yesterday nftcr
noon neighbors notloed > small volume o
smoke If suing from" ai4wo-story house n
1914 'Karnnm ' street , nhlch la occupied bj
Mrs. J. W. Ilrccn as > 'boarding house. At
alarm was at once turned In for the depart
ment. Klro comp nj"Wa 3 responded , bill
when the house waacntcrcd It was fomu
that the flames had obtained a. good start.
The firemen found ftreat'dlfllculty In laying
hose on account of the slippery condition ol
the pavements , sidewalks and ground , nm'
therefore the blaze was nol extinguished
until some $500 damage was dona to the
building and Its contents. It was confined
almost cnthcly to the first floor , and es
pecially In the bed 'room occupied by Mrs ,
Urcen , which eccmed to bo the starting
point of the fire. The loss la covered fully
by Insurance , the house carrying $3,000 ami
the contents $1,000. A few articles belong
ing to boarders were damaged , and such
damage was an uninsured loss. The fire
appears to have been of mysterious origin.
A couple of slight accidents occurred dur
ing the fire. Only two domestics were In
the house when It was discovered by out
siders , and ono of these rushed upstairs to
save her clothing. She was overcome by
the smoke and was carried out of the build
ing almost suffocated , but speedily recov
ered.
Captain Taylor of truck No. 1 sustained n
sevcro wrench to ono of his feet and ankles.
Ho had climbed upon the roof of the
porch by means of a ladder and was about
to descend. In order to prevent slipping he
held on to the shutter of one of the windows
dews , which suddenly fell from Its fasten
ings. The fireman and the ladder were
both precipitated to the ground. The former
alighted upon ono leg , thereby severely
spraining the ankle and foot.
Because of the slippery pavements the
engine company , although located but r.
couple of blocks from the scene of the
blaze , had great trouble In getting Its ap
paratus to the fire. Several of the horses
slipped and foil In turning the corner nt
Eighteenth and Kornam streets. Knglno
company No. 12. located at Twonty-sovcntu
and Leavenworth streets , which was summoned -
moned to assist , found still more trouble
on Its hands , and as a matter of fact never
reached the fire. In turning the corner at
Twenty-seventh and St. Mary's avenue the
heavy apparatus slipped to the curb and
overturned , throwing the firemen to the
ground. The only man Injured was Captain
Henderson , who was cut about the head
and was considerably bruised. The appa
ratus was slightly shaken up. After this
accident the company was ordered back to
Its house , as It was not needed.
Flying sparks from the chimney of an
adjoining house set fire to a barn at H2G
North Twenty-second street at 3:40 : o'clock
yesterday morning. The alarm was not
turned In until the flames had ob
tained a good headway and con
sequently the department labored at
a disadvantage. The barn was al
most a total loss and a good share of the
contents were also destroyed , although a
horse and buggy were saved. The loss Is
fixed at $200 on the building and $200 on
the contents , with partial Insurance. The
property was owned by M. F. Singleton.
Tho. llames communicated with a couple
of adjoining cottages , one at 112S and the
other nt 1424 North Twenty-second street.
The former was also owned by Singleton
and the other by Silas P. Woolf. The loss
to each building consisted In the blistering
of paint and the burning of shingles. The
damage to each Is estimated at about $30.
A defective chimney yesterday.morning at
10 o'clock set fire to the residence of Klchard
A. Seay , 1924 North Thirty-sixth street.
The dsmago to both building and Its con
tents will be covered by $25. -

George G. Wallace , presided. After the- de
votional exercises , conducted by Mr. Wal
lace , the Omaha Church Choral society ,

ber of sacred hymns , which proved a very
pleasing feature of the evening. "Tho Pur
pose of the Sabbath School" was the open
ing address and was delivered by Hev. A. J.
Turklo of the Kountzo Memorial Lutheran
church. Mr. Turkle said that the present
outlook In the Sunday school field was nevermore
moro promising. Of the 10,000 children In the
city overG.OOO of them were members of
sohools of the various denominations. A new
Interest was being manifested In the work
by the teachers ; they were perfecting their
methods of Instilling Christian principles
Into the minds of the young and many pleas
ant features were being added to the Sun
day sessions to attract the juvenile mind.
Ho requested all teachers present not to
relax their efforts In the channel In which
they were now directing them , for In the
years to como It would bear golden fruit In
making honest men and women of the youth
of today.
Flve-mlnuto addresses were given by
school superintendents , among which were :
"Our Teachers' Meeting , " Hev. J. H. Mann ;

Vote of the People.
The city hall charter factory resumed
operations last evening. As at the pre
vious meeting , the city olllclnls had U all
their own way , and proceeded to fix the
charter to suit themselves. A number of
business men were Interested spectators ,
but they took no material part In the pro
ceedings.
At the suggestion of Chairman Taylor , the
commlttco proceeded to take up the charter ,
section by section The first change was
made In section 3 , by extending the limit of
the corporate boundaries of the city from
twenty-five to thirty squaremiles. .
In section G a proviso was added to the
fourth clause , which alarms the right of the
city to make contracts and do all other
acts In relation to the property and con
cerns of the city necessary to the exer
cise of Its corporate or administrative pow
ers , The proviso suggested Is to the effect
that no contract or franchise or extension
of the same shall bo made for moro than
two years , except by a vote of the people.
Sept Ions 11 and 13 were amended to make
the terms of city officers begin on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday In January ,
Instead of on the first Tuesday. This Is for
the purpose of preventing the necessity of
organizing the council on a legal holiday ,
when New Year's day happens to fall on
Tuesday.
The Board of Health section was referred
to Dr. J. J , Savlllo to submit suggestions
at a future meeting.
Section Cl , which gives the mayor and
council authority to construct , purchase and
operate water works , gas works , etc. , and
also to contract for the same service , was
amended only to the extent of Including
canals In the first clause and by dropping
the last sentence , as conflicting with the
amendment to section G , previously adopted ,
by which the right to grant franchises was
limited to two years.
There was a somewhat animated discus
sion on section G5 , Into which the proposed
amendment of two years ago Injected the
authority to Import ) an occupation tax.
Major Wheeler wao emphatically In favor
of this amendment , but It was as vigorously
opposed by Councilman Hascall and K , J.
Cornell. The section was finally referred
to Mr. Cornish , with C. H. Plckens. of Paxton -
ton & Gallagher , II. A. Thompson , of Thomp
son , ncldon & Co. , and C. S. Hayward , of
the Hayward Shoe company , to report at
the next meeting , which will bo held Satur
day night.
