LINCOLN , Jan. 10. ( Pficclal. ) The meet
Ing cnllcd hy the mlddlo-of-thc-road populist
atSt , Louis this week with the avowed objcc
of calling a convention and nominating candl
dates for president and vlco president dur
Ing the coming summer has stirred up
pretty largo undercurrent of Interest end ex
cltcmcnt In populUt official circles here , al
though strenuous efforts liavo been ma do t
l e p the uamo from the public. It I * knont
that numerous letters have been written an
received hero to prevent this action , whlcl
would probably spilt the populist party mor
curiously than the democratic r < rty Is ryllt
Hitherto the plan of the fiuloti clement In th
populist party has been to Indoieo Brjan fo
president and get the democrats to Indors
the populist nominee for vice president , an
It lias been more or less understood tha
Senator Mai Ion llullcr of North Carolina wa
to bo the pcoullBt nominee for that place
Latterly the Ilrjan democrats , feeling sur
that their man wns to bo nominated by bat
democrat ! ) and populists , have gene vigor
ounly nt work booming prominent domoctat
for the vlco presidency. From Insldo demo
cratlc circles It Is learned that the visit o
tlcorgo Kred Williams to Nebraska was fo
the express purpose of organizing n move
ment la his behalf for the vlco prcsldcnc
in the west and tbtft this was with Mr
llryan's approval. This action of t'.ie demo
crats has greatly alarmed the populist man
cgeia who know that they are likely to b
BWipt out of power If they attempt to cart
the mass of populist voters Into the demo
cratlc v irty. Hitherto they have affected t
rldlculo the mlddlc-of-thc-roodcra , but as th
hand of dcmoctacy becomes more plain the
BCD that the middle-of-the-road movement I
likely < o carry with It enough populists t
defeat them In the states whcro they ncec
votes.
nLR.MHNTS OP DOUIIT.
They have got Chairman Marlon Ilntler to
wrlto a letter promising to submit the qucs
tlon of an early convention to the populls
national committee If the St. Louis meeting
will delay action , and nro trjlng hard to
patch up n peace that will hold the party to
gother.
The nearer 1900 approaches the moro dlffl
cult the task becomes of those populist leaders
ors who have taken the contract to dellvc
the populist Vote to the democrats nt tin
tlmo. Senator Pcffer , who was driven fron
the editorship of the populist fitato paper It
Kansas by the fusion olllcoholders. Is quietly
organising the old alliance men Into deter
mined oppcoltlon to nny more democrat !
fusion. Ignatius Donnelly , who stumped bet ]
Nebraska nnd Knnsas for Ilrynn In 1890 , I
doing the hamo with the alliance men In
Minnesota. Colonel Norton , who was th
candidate of the inlddlo-of-tlie-roadors at th
St. Louis convention In 189C against Hryan
having 300 votes for the nomination , but who
subsequently supported Ilryan during the
campaign , Is doing the same In Illinois am
In this state. Senator II. 0. Stewart , form
crly vleo president of the state alliance , I
doing the same work The recent declara
tlon of Governor Stephens ot Missouri tha
there could bo no fusion with populists 01
the stnto tlclvct or congressmen In that state
Is helping the anti-fusion popUllsta greatlj
In tholr nght , nnd present Indications are
for anything but nn easy job fo
the fuslonlst. Meanwhile It Is the hope
of populist oniclals of high and low degree
that the St. Louis meeting may bo handlei
this week so ns to prevent the split in the
party that would leave them stranded with
out votes enough to even trade upon.
FOR SHERIFFS.
Deputy Auilltor Pool has been reading 'Jio
Btatutca relating to tlio matter of sheriff's
fees anil has como to the conclusion that In
cases where a penitentiary sentence haa bison
pasaoJ and the prisoner Is not Immediately
brought to the penitentiary the sheriff tan
only collect for the board of the prisoner
at the rate of $3.EO per week. Heretofore the
rate paid hy the county has been 75 cents
per day. Mr. Pool takes < m his authority for
making the new rule the only part of the
fibitutes which relates to fees for board of
prisoners , which reads ns follows : "Whsro
there are prisoners 'confined ' In the county Jill
$ l.no i > er day shall bo allowed tJio shorlff ns
jailer. For boarding prisoners per ilay not
exceeding 75 cents per day , nor more than
$3.1)0 per week , when the prisoners arc ccn-
fltMtl moro than six da > s. " This clause re
lates to the charges to ho pild hy the county.
After sentence the expense Is ] ld by the
elate , but there being no different rate
specified the deputy auditor has ruled that
tiio state shall pay no higher rate than docs
the county. This will particularly affect
sheriffs in counties where there are secure
Jails und wiicro the usual practice Is to Kttp
the prisoner almost the cnllro thirty days'
tlmo allowed after sentence before bringing
lilm to the penitentiary.
Sheriff Dow of Ilarlnti comity came up to
day to turn ex-Treasurer Kzra Whitney over
to the warden of the penitentiary. Whitney
appears very much broken ilonn over the
prospect of nerving out the two and one-half
years' sentence passed upon him by the
court , outwardly betraj Ing more emotion than
docs Mills , who shared with Whitney In tl'o
embezzlement of the county money , nnd who
has ( t sentence of five years before him.

ment of the exposition Vhls morning to tlh-
cuss the matter of the appointment of a Joint
agent nt the exposition grounds to handle
freight shipments from the .various roads.
After a desultory discussion of the subject
notion on the joint nptnt matter was deferred
to n ( jubscqucnt meeting , to ho cnllcd by
Manager Dabcock.
A resolution was adopted declaring It to
bo the sense of the meeting that the expo-

for transferring freight to the exposition
grounds which Is received at the local depots
In less than carload lots.

Conversation among the freight men after
the meeting adjourned developed the fact
that the conference had not been altogether
sweet harmony. The proposition to establish
a Joint agency at the exposition grounds
was brajched by General Aqcnt Kuhn of the
Northwestern , but It did not appear to meet
with general fax or. Mr. Kuhn said he sug
gested It because such an Institution had
rendered first-class service to the railroads
and to the shippers at the World'o Colum
bian Exposition. Ho read reports from the
gratlcman who acted as Joint agent there
regarding the work of the agency. Itas
In existence o\cr two years , and though the
Joint age-nt started In with one assistant he
wns soon compelled to run 'in olllco with
ninety-live assistants , so greatly did the work
Incrcarv Mr Kuhn had considerable ex
perience with the agency In 1S93 , and said
It would have been Impossible for the Chicago
cage railroads to handle the freight for the
World's fair had not such a scheme been
adopted.
SEVERAL THINGS UNSETTLED.
Some of the representatives of other lines
opposed the appointment of an agency , thcii
chief argument being that the freight ultu
atlon of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition \\.is
not at all the panic ns that found nt the
World's fair. On account of the opposltloi
drawn forth the proposition to establish a
Joint agency on the exposition grounds here
to look after the handling of less than car
load shipments between the terminals of the
different railroads and the exposition grounds
was withdrawn , at least for the present.
Then It was suggested that the .MIssour
Pacific , the railroad which practically con
trols the snitching to the exposition grounds
handle the transportation of all freight n
less than carload lots from the terminals
of the different lines to the exposition
grounds. This brought Assistant Genera
Freight nnd Pascenger Agent Phllllppt to his
feet with the statement that his line would
not handle any ehlpjnqiUs of freight to tht.
exposition grounds in ICHU than carload lots
This settled that proposition and the freight
men thought again. , , , ,
AB u certain way.outof the dlfilculty of
handling lees than carload shipment ! , from
the terminal * ; ofthe different Hiiro to the
exposition grounds H'was suggested that
ICM than carload shlrlnKTHs bo turned over to
some reliable firm for drayagc. This broughi
out objections from the representatives ol
some ofier llnce. In tb.e meanwhile there
was a llttlo coutroversj on the slue being
waged between the Cncci | Pacific urd the n
& M. Assistant General Agent Smith of the
latter line PAld that , ' 10 far ax his line WES
concerned luj responsibility ended when the
goods were delivered dt the terminal of the
read In this city. "Acslstant General Freight
Agent Lane o the Union Pi-cldc said this
was ull wrong , that the responsibility of the
line did not cna until the goods were de
livered at tbo exposition gates , and on thla
miestlen the rest of the freight assemblage
broke about even. The matter lu dispute
was not finally ecttlcd.
CHANCE FOR EXPOSITION.
A prominent freight man eald after the
conference adjourned without accomplishing
anything : "It looks to me as though this
question of how shipments of lcs.3 tiian car
load lots should bo handled from the ter
minals of the lines to the exposition grounds
will be finally settled by the cx-pcsltlon under-
takkig the work itself. If the managers of
the exposition nro wise that Is Just what they
will do. They can take less than carload loti
and mike them up Into oarlcad lots , have
them shipped out to the exposition grounds
and charge double the cost of handling tiiu
car. In this way the exposition exchequer
would bo readily reimbursed without ecpccial
hardship to eny one. I have no doubt but
that from $ . " ,000 to $10,000 coulJ be added
to the exposition's exchequer In th's way.
This would certnlnly bo u better course to
purauo than to ruako any concession to any
ilrayugo firm for hauling less than carload
lots from the terminals of the lines to tlir
cxpcsltlca gatco. The drajago schema Is not
Impracticable , but I think the plan of faavlng
the Transportation department undertake the
work Is much better , and It would certainly
bo moio profitable to the exposition. The
only other way out of the difficulty is to Jiavo
the Missouri Pacific railroad handle the ship
ments leas than carloads , and that It refuses
to do. "

Transcontinental freight from west to cast

Regarding the complaints of stockmen
based en the slow tlmo made by the Ne
braska railroads In handling the stock to
the South Omaha market a railroad man
admitted tltat there Is much fairness In the
complaints Nearly c\cry railroad In the
state has been giving the stockmen the
woivt of It In the matter of train ser\lce ,
and It Is altogether probable that the pub
licity given to the complaints made at South
Omaha will result In some remedy.
H Is said on good authority the Union
Pacific Is at present contemplating putting
on another stock train on the second dis
trict , from Grand Island to North Platte. In
order to Improve Its ll\o stock tialn senica
An Investigation Into the dclajs of stock
was made recently and It woo dlsco\ered
that this was what was most needed. Tin-
railroad officials concede that eighteen miles
in eight hours as wns the csrae In one In
stance recently repoited. Is lardlj fair tlmo
even for shipments of stock.

The question of rates for homcseekers1 ex
cursions has been settled , at least for the
ptotent. A resolution has been adopted by
the roads In the Western Passenger associa
tion to the effect that no homescckers' ex
cursion rates will hereafter apply from
Chicago to points -nest of the Mississippi
river. It Is said the object for the adoption
of this resolution Is to prevent the Chicago
ticket brokers from handling this class of
cheap tickets.
While the homcsepkcrs' excursion tickets
will not bo sold In Chicago they will con-
tlnuo to be on sale at points Just outside
of Chicago , and all other points In Illinois ,
Io\\a and other states east of the Western
Passenger association's territory. The next
date for the homeseekers' excursions will bo
on Jannuary 18. On that date the reduced
rates from Chrlcago to Omaha and Council
Bluffs that were announced for January 1 ,
the date of the first homeseekers' excursion
this year , will not apply.
