LOCAL TRAFFIC KEEPING UP WELL Sailof MllriiKi * lluoki Imlloiiti-H tluii thr Uoniiiirrrlnl Trnvi'lc-rH Arc Alromly mi the Move 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Through travel to the I'acinc coast Is es pecially RtMxl anil local travel Is picking up , Since the Union I'acinc has withdrawn Its Kearney local train Its "Overland Limited" Is pretty well crowded every morning , the Increase bcliiR larRcly In local travel , Several mornings of late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 ; " ' _ ? . nr.cisiox JHIT TUT iircAciulu , JVlltlllllK NOW lll > tl | | > ItlltON < 0 TCMIH I'llllltM. 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. Itnli-N for Thi'iilcr IVnplr. 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 Another Form of MllciiKr. 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 parted , together , U Is , : tid lo facllltato calculation of mileage by the conductor and by the auditor , ami to absolutely prevent the fraudulent use of the cover. llatluny N | I > N anil IVrxoiiulM.

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.

DIRECTORS FOR EXPOSIM Selection of a Site Outs a Small Figaro in the Election , GREAT INTEREST BEING MANIFESTED Stockholder * Hurrying tit I ny Up An- ncNHtnriitN ANMlKiimoiit of 1'ritxlen for Oediber r.lefllou Not i ( iiioil at ThlN Time. 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. _ smnsiiows AT THIS ma ciucus Are ( o He Coiiilncti-il In ( lie Interex ! of Liu-ill Clinrltli-N. 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 know the value of Dr. null's Cough Syrup. MAKTI.V FIXALI.Y IKT OUT OF JAIL. Id-lit In tl Cell mill Held IIH n 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.

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.

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. - Sr.MlAY 'SCHOOLS ' DOIXR 1VI3M. , I.III-KC Prnpoi-Uiin of tlio Clly dill- ilri-n Atlenil Them.

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. Waste no money. Buy Salvation Oil , the only good liniment. It kills all pain.
