Prof. F. W. Taylor has returned from
Denver , where he attended the meeting ol
the Colorado Horticultural society. He re
ports that within the last few months the
people ot Colorado have experienced a great
change of heart toward * the exposition and
ore doing everything to make certain thai
Colorado will bo represented In a manner
that -will show tbo resources of the state
to the very best advantage. This mattci
formed a prominent feature of tha discus
sions of the horticultural society and a. com
mittee was appointed to take full charge ol
the matter of nee I us ; that the horticultural
Interests of the state arc given the repre
sentation which their Importance merits.
ThU committee Includes the following : G.
J. Carpenter. Prulta G. M. Anderson. Moul
der ; Hen Honnett , Harris ; E. Al. Smith ,
Rocky Ford , and Prof. C. S. Carpenter ol
the Colorado Agricultural college at Forl
Collins. Prof. Taylor says that G. J. Car
penter , the chairman of the committee , Is a
former resident of Nebraska , havli > s lived
at Falrbury and having been secretary ol
the Nebraska ( Horticultural society for t\\c
years.
Chairman Carpenter told Prof. Taylor that
the people of tbe vicinity In which he re
sided xtould be on hand during the frull
festival with several carloads of peaches
and would reproduce Grand Junction Peach
day In a way which Mould open the eyes
of visitors to the exposition to the magni
tude nnl extent of fruit growing In Colorado.
J. C. Knln ot Rocky Ford assured Prof. Taylor -
lor that the people In his section of the
state where he resided would also be
"strictly In It" at the fruit festival and
would send t o or three ears filled with
luscious watermelons and muskmelons.
NAMING TUB FESTIVAL.
Suggestions of names by which to desig
nate the fruit festival to be held on the
exposition grounds some time In September
or October continue to be received by Prof.
Taylor. No selection has yet beer * made ,
and the professor still Invites everyone who
has a name to suggest to send it In.
A number of names for this occasion have
teen suggested. The following have been
received within the past few days : "Juicy
Hartest , " by W. H. Brlgsby of Pender ;
"Garden of Hespcrldes. " by John A Miller ;
"Pomona's Temple. " by P. L. Forgan ; "Po
mona's Feast. " "Pomona's Festival" and
"Feast of Pomona" by E. F. Test , who
favors the latter. Charles W. Young ol
Omaha suggests the "Garden of Paradise.
"Apple Carnation" or "Lavlnrac Elppa. " the
latter being Apple carnival spelled back
ward. ,
The Indications are that the occasion will
be a veritable feast and that visitors to
the great show will be given an opportunity
to eat all they want of every kind of fruit
In season. Judging from reports coming
trom all quarters the ground set aside for
this feature ot the exposition will be filled
to overflowing with great quantities of fruit
of all kinds , which will be given to all
comers wthout price. The great fruit producing
becoming aroused to a
ducing states are
enlrlt of rivalry and each Is promising to
outdo the others. Apples of every variety
from Iowa , peaches of all kinds , big. juicy
watermelons and fragrant muskmeloas from
the valleys of Colorado , alt kinds of fruit
from Missouri. Arkansas and other trans-
mlsslsslppl states promise to afford a feast
compared with which the banquets of the
oTd gods on the hills of Olympus sink Into
Insignificance.

Citizens of Kansas are beginning to realize
the Importance of the Transmlaslsslppl Ex
position , and the buslnes men In the lead
ing towns are taking steps to make up for
the valuable time that has been lost. A
movement is on foot to organize a state com
mission to see that the state Is properly
represented.
E. S. TucTcer of Lnwrcace , commercial
nsent for the Department of Exhibits In
Kansas , writes to the department that he
has visited Wichita. Peabony and Emoorla
and finds that a change In sentiment h-e oc
curred during the last few months. He says
that the business men seem to be Just grasp-
in ? the idea of the exposition and are taking
active steps to make as good a showing as
possible. The Commercial club of Wichita
has Uken actico on the matter and Mr.
Tucker says the club will see that the county
In which Wichita Is situated is represented
by an exhibit , and that the town Is credit
ably represented.
The EmporKi Commercial club has called
a meeting to toke action on the matter , ac
cording to Agent Tucker , who says that he
hs had Interviews with the governor , who
Las agreed to appoint a commission of rep-
iBientatlre and prominent men who will take
hold of the matter and push the Idea of a
state exhibit. The mining and other com
mercial Interests of the state are reported
to bo aroused to the Importance of being
at the exposition , and Mr. Tucker s-iys he
has every reason to believe that Kansas will
be well represented when the time cornea

Vf , H. Sutherlln , vice president for the ex
position for MonUna. has returned from Chicago
cage , cnrouto to his home , and has reserved
space In the Agricultural and Mines build
ing for Montana's exhibit. He has reserved
what he regards as the smallest amount of
space the state can have for an exhibit at
all creditable and has reserved the right to
Increase thU amount after consulting v Uh
the state officials and prominent tncn Inter-
rated In seeing the state well represented.
The space reserved In the Mines building
U 40xGO feet at the Intersection of the main
aisles , being 2.400 square feet In the most
prominent spot In this great building. Mr.
Sutherltn good naturcdly declined to give any
Intimation of the form which the exhibit tc
be made by his state would take , saying that
he dkl not want to give the other mining
states a hint of what Montana Is doing , but
ho eald he could give tha assurance that the
exhibit will be a highly creditable one End
will possess features which will make It oce
of the main points of attraction in the Mines
building.
In reply to a question us to whether the
exhibit would Include the silver statue which
attracted so much attention at the World'e
fair , Mr. Sutherlln mid It might Include the
statue or It might Include something equally
attractive , but along other lines. He added
th-it prominence will be given the copper
producing Industry of the state. He eatd
that Montana claims to huve the finest cop
per mines In the country , end these are be
ing worked at a rapid rate , with enough cop
per In sight In some of them to keep several
generations at work. Thfc ccvper and gold
mines are the only mines that are now being ;
worked , the silver mines being shut down on
account of the low price of silver.
In the Agriculture building Mr. Sutherlln
reserved a space near one end of the build
ing 24x50 feet.
The state of Montana appropriated { 15,000
for a state exhibit , and at the time the ap
propriation was made It was announced
that Marcus Daly , the millionaire mine
owner , had agreed to "cover" any appro
priation the legislature might make. Mr.
Sutherlln stated that he regarded Mr. Daly's
portion as good as paid , -thus making $30-
000 : hat will be available for a state exhibit.
Since his visit to Omaha this time Mr. Suth
erlln has become thoroughly convinced that
his state must have a building , and he ex
presses the conviction that the necessary
amount for this can be raised by private
subscription. He will take this matter up
as eoon as he reaches home. He has selected
a site on the bluff tract which he will rec
ommend as a location for the state building.
The governor of Montana now has under
consideration the appointment of a state
commission to assist Mr. Sutherlln Inthe
duty of seeing that the state Is properly
represented at the exposition , and these ap
pointments will probably be announced in a
short time.

The diagrams for the two Wagner sleeping
cars which will be occupied by the party
which will start for Texas December 4 , to bo
absent eight days , are almost completely

been filled and a number of applications from
people who wanted to go , but who waited
too long , have been refused. Reports are

The Department of Transportation Is en
gaged In getting out shipping tags to be fur
nished foreign exhibitors who will ship
goods to the exposition. Under the provi
sions of an act of congress passed juft be
fore the World's fair , and which act h-s been
made to 9ply to all subsequent expositions.
exhibits from foreign countries are required
to be marked with tags bearing the flag of
the country from which the exhibit Is
shipped. This rule Is enforced by the Treao-
ury department as a means of quickly identi
fying gods intended for the exposition and
on which no duty Is collected. Under the
instructions of the secretary of the treasury
these tags are being m-ide 8x12 Inches In
size , with the fktg of the country. In the
proper colors , covering the entire face of the
tag. Shipping directions are then printed
across the face of the flag In black letters.
The question has been raised whether this
defacing of the flags would not be .jjc : sua

countries , but a letter of Inquiry to tbo sec
retary of the Treasury on this paint brought

NEW DEAL IN 'THE COLORADO FIGHT
All Untl Frelprlitu Cnt to n. Point that
.sHi-s the Itt-cord for
the Went.
There his been another slashing of
freight rates between Omatei and Colorado
common points , with corresponding reduc
tions in rates to Colorado points from Chicago
cage , St. Paul , Pecrla , Mississippi river points
and .Missouri river points. The supplement
to tariff 2 A of the transmissourl freight
rate committee , which went Into effect this
morning , will exist only until Wednesday
next , November 24 , when it will bo super
seded by a tariff containing the lowest
freight rates on shipments to Colorado that
were ever published.
The new rates "will apply to shipments of
freight 'to Denser. Colorado Springs , Pueblo
and Trinidad , Colo. , and. will become effect
ive on November 24. They were first an
nounced here yesterday by the Chicago ,
Rock Island & Pacific , with liter announce
ments by all the other east and west lines.
From Omaha and other Missouri river points
tbo new rate on shipments of the first-class
will bo 39 cents , second class , 30 cents ;
third and fourth classes , 25 cents ; fifth
class and classes A , B , C , D and E , 15
cents.
From Chlcagj and common points the new-
tariff will contain the following rates to
Denver , Colorado Springs , Pueblo and Trini
dad : First class , $1.19 ; second class , 95
cents ; third class , 47 cents , fourth class , 95
cents and fifth clara , 27 cents ; class A , 32
cents ; cliss B , 27 ! ? cents ; classes C , D and
E , 25 cents.
From Mississippi river points to the Colorado
rado points named the regular differentials
will apply with a minimum carload rate of
20 cents. There will bo several exceptions
to the rates on the classification of com
modities.
SLIDE IS TREMENDOUS.
Previous to November 13 the rate on first
class shipments from Omaha and other Mis
souri river points to Colorado common points
was $1.25. On that date a new tariff Mas
Uiued containing a new rate of 71 cents , a
reduction of 54 cents. On November 16 a
supplement of the new tariff was Issued to
become effective November 20 and to take
the place of the previously Uiusd tariff , lo
this the first class rate was reduce 1 from 71
cents to 52 cents , and now a ECJJad i-unpln-
ment has been Issued to take effect on No
vember 24 , In which1 the first class rate Is
quoted at 39 certs , a reduction within ten
days of 86 cents. Other rates have been cut
down accordingly arid 'the railroad officials
are determined to do sotno further whittling
If needs b ; to meet the competition of the
steamboat lines from the Atlantic seaboard
to Texas ports and , of the railroads from
Texas to Colorado.
A prominent freight official of an cast ana
west line was esked how Colorado rates were ,
and ho replied : "I cannot say ; I ha > en't
been In my offlco for nearly five minutes. "
ThU answer gives a cue Jo the situation. Tha
rallrcads ere dropping their rates ro fist that
a man ua to remain at "his dwk all the time
lu order to keep posted < cn the lowest rates.
The rates that will go Into effect on Novem
ber 24 were agreed upon late ! < i t night at a
meeting of the freight officials of western
lines In Chicago , The mooting adjourned till
today , and It U possible thit some further
rduetlsn may ye ; be forthcoming. The new
tales would go Into effect today but for a
clause In the rules of the Interstate Com
merce commission requiring that the rail-
rcadd ghe three days' notice of any decrease
In ratea As It U. the supplement to the
original tariff will bo effective until Novem
ber 24 , and will then give way to the lowest
bunch of rates known between Chicago and
Colorado.

Regarding the new steamship service of
the Kansan City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad
and the prospects for the early entrance of
that road Into Omaha the following letter
from an officer of that company to a friend In
this city contains some Information that bos
not been previously published. It Is as fol
lows :
Arrangements have been completed for
the opening- a line of steamers to Liver
pool. The first steamer will sail December
23. The steamers to Liverpool will also
touch Hamburg- , Amsterdam and Rotter
dam.
You are probably aware of the fact that
there have been a good many rumors about
the new lines we ar.e about to put on. You
will see by thete announcements that we
are putting them on. The Liverpool line
will carry passengers and freight ; the Mex
ican line will carry only freight for the
present.
We have organized a new department In
connection with this business under Mr. U.
Talbot , general foreign freight agent. Tills
department Is , of course , primarily a tralllc
matter , but In connection therewith. It Is
a bureau of Information for shippers , and
Mr Talbot will be very glad to hear from
shippers on any point of information that
may tend to build up their business In
Mexico , West Indies or any other foreign
country to which we have lints.
The progress of v.-ork on the northern
connecting line toward Omaha Is getting
along very satisfactorily. We expect to
have thU In operation some time before
January 1 If the weather continues good ,
but you know the work of grading- de
pendent very much upon the weather , and ,
as there Is yet quite a little bit of grading
to be completed , it Is hard to forecast ex
actly when we will be doing business be
tween Kansas City and Omaha.
Commend * Union I'aclflc.
The bfflclals of the Union Pacific have re
ceived much commendation for the progress
ma.de In carry I u out the provisions of the na
tional law requiring the adoption of safety
appliances on all cars and locomotives on
or before January 1 , 1E98. The Union Pa
cific , the Central Pacific and the Denver &
Rlj Grande railroads were the first In the
United States to begin the equipment of
freight cars with air brakes and have made
more progress In this direction than most
roads. The figures of the Union Pacific on
this subject filed with the Interstate Com
merce commission last week have been pre
viously published.
A supplementary statement given out by

BAS GREAT FAITH IN OMAHA
John Scovem Will Improve His Propsrty in
This Oity.
PLANS FOR A LARGE APARTMENT HOUSE
LXpcnslve Hrlclc anil Stone Structure
to lie Creeled at Tw eiity-I-'lr t
tllicl Kumiini MrectH in the
> enr Future.
John Scovern , cashier of fie First National
bank of Macon , Mo. , Is in the city looking
after matters connected with his Omaha In
vestments. Mr. Scovern Is one of the people
whose faith In Omaha has not wavered dur
ing the recent period of business depression
and he U about to emphasize his belief in
Its future by erecting an apartment houbc
on his property at Twenty-first and Farnaui
streets. The building will bo constructed ol
light colored pressed brick wlt/j stone trim
mings , and It Is designed so tbit the first
floor may be converted into business prop
erty when such a change Is desirable.
In discussing his Omaha interests Mr. Sco
vern &alcl that be was not putting up build
ings to be sold , but as a permanent Invest
ment. "I first visited Omaha In I860 , " ho
continued , "and when I compare the city as
It appeared tben with what It Is now , and
then look a little into tbo future , I am con
fident taat It has great opportunities for fu
ture development. With Armour's new plant
oa ono sldo and thci exposition on the other
I believe that the city has great opportunities
before U. "
In thU connection Mr. Scovern call d at
tention to a distinction between Omaha and
some other cities wfalcfa be suggested was
worthy of consideration. "It la one of tile
things , " ha said , "that no one except a visitor
would be apt to notice , and I hare heard It
mentioned by a number of people who bad
visited the city. They say that In most
cases when a stranger stops some one on the
street to Inquire In regard tothe location of
a certain building or some other simple In
formation , the Omaha man ze ms to be too
busy to take any pains to give tbo desired In
formation , '
"Now , I noticed whoa we were at fte
Knights Templar convention In San Fran
cisco , even -the bootblacks on the street
seemed to have acquired the spirit of hos
pitality. Ifc stopped come ono to make
an inquiry they would tell UD to come right
along to the corner and they would show us
where Itwas. . It noa a tmall courtesy , but
otery stranger appreciates It , It eeeins to
me that such a spirit cught to be cultivated
In Omaha. This city expects to entertain a
\asl number of visitors next year and people
v.tio come ftero will not expect to be pro
vided with room and board , but such little
courtesies as I hi\o referred to go a long
way toward giving them a good Impression
of the city , "

Queenle Stewart , colored , Is locked up at
the central station on a charge of disorderly

thereby hanga a tale.
Yesterday morning OOlcer Goioli , on the
North Sixteenth street belt , was approached
by a neatly drested colored man , who told
the policeman th.it be was in fc-ir of his
Ufa. He said he > * as being ( logged by a
young woman vrho waa employed at the
Klondike hotel at Sixteenth and Weoiter
streeu , and that ( he bad snorn to terminate
his ex'etence on sight He talj the woman
waa masquerading under the came of Join
M-irtln , and bad been In the city ilnco last
Thursday. The colored msn gave the name
of Joteph Graves , and said he was employed
by a local tailor. Acting upon the Informa-
t.oc Imparted toe oltlcer went to the hotel In
questlca and found the youtg woman * de
scribed. Ween confronted with the fact * of
her errand to Omaha the girl adrnlttel that
the story was true and meekly accompanied
a copule of men to the station
In the 'captain's office Mrs. Stewart for It

temperament would not brook the insult.
so securing a revolver , be returned to th *
store acd called Graves to his door. Tha
restaurant man was too quick for his ac-
ouscr. and before Rcdmon could draw his
weapodk Graves shot him through the heart ,
He died almost Instantly.
A trial followed and on the plea of elf
defense Graves was acquitted. The sister
of the dead man , however , thought the
wheels of Justice were clogged In the ver
dict given , and as the law had not given
her the vengeance she thought juot for the-
death of her brother , she rcsolveJ to take
matters In her own hands. Shortly cfter tha
trial Graves went to Leavenworth. Kan.
Mrs. Stewart being at a disadvantage In the
dress of her kind cast it aside and adopted ,
the costume of the sterner sex.
To Ltnvenworth Journeyed Mrs. Stewart
and located the residence of Graves , when h
tie-patted for Chicago. Unshaken In her pur-
pcao h'o purauer followed him to the Windy
City , but here agata the avenger of a broth
er's death was foiled , for Graves immedi
ately took a train for this city So well had
he covered his movements that Graves felt
secure upon reaching this city , but his se
curity was given another chock when a
friend told him last night that the sister ot
the man he had killed was here and still

then communicated with the police. Mrs.
