Local Csualer for tb > Fhenlx In Br-
aace Company KonnU to Be
aa , Embe ler to tbe
Amount of f2tOO.
Fred S. Keller , local cashier for tbe Phoe
nix Fire Insurance company of Brooklyn , has
absconded , leaving- shortage In his ac
counts ) of eome $2,100. The' fact ot the
shortage was discovered over a week ago ,
but it has been carefully kept from the pubI I
lie , end the officers ot tbe company , who are
here , are doing their utmost to have no In
formation ot ihe matter slip out. ' ,
Kelley left the clly a week ago , last Sun
day , and has not been beard from .since by
his wife , his family or his friends , so it i *
said. They maintain also that they have no
knowledge of his present . whereabouts. He.
left the city , he told his wife , to visit his
parents In Lincoln , and Is supposed ! to have
tiken an afternoon train over the Burling
ton. He never went to Lincoln , However ,
and it is presumed that he .went farther
west. .
The shortage as at present estimated la
In the neighborhood ot $2,100. It has been
easily learned , since the e.Vbmled money
consisted ot the sums sent Into.-'the Omaha
office from the 600 and more 'agencies
throughout the state. The exact amount
cannot'be learned , as State Agent Coryell Is
not In the city , and the men at present In tbe
office profess to know nothing of the mat
ter.
ter.Tho
The Insurance company , however , will lore
none of tbe money , since Kelley was bonded
In tbe sum of $5,000 In a guaranty com
pany. The. latter company , also , does not
seem to be worried much over tbe matter.
Despite rumors to the contrary , it Is stated
that no effort Is being made to , apprehend ,
him. It Is confidently believed that KelleyB
family , which. Is well-to-do , will settle the
matter by prying over the full amftuot of
the shortage. " * * - <
OTHERS SAID TO BE IMPLICATED.
It Is stated that Keller's Is not the only
shortaee that exists In the affairs , ot tbe
company here. It is hinted that a , steal has
been going on la the office for some time. So
confident are Kehey's friends of this teat they
openly charge that he has been made but ( |
icapegcct. and they nnnounce that they In
tend to ferret the matter to the bottom. At
least one member of tbe ofBce .force . , who
was let out at the wme time with. Kelly , Is
accused ot being short , but thli-case has been
covered up. > * , J
All this Is denied by the oncers ot the
company now here. State Agent Coryell Is
out of the city , it being stated at his office
tbat he Is to Chicago at the western headquarters - '
quarters and will be back today , Some
of his friends , however , seem -to be
somewhat worried at tali absence
although they are confident that he can show
that he had no knowledge ot the shortage
until the time that Kelley , was let out Tbe
once Is being temporarily managed by } M. L.
Hostetter , a state , .insurance adjuster.

RESTORING PASSENGER RATES
Paaeenger Men Ara Breaking &way from
Causes of Demoralization.
I WAR TQl OMHWEST POINTS IS CLOSING'
One Week Store of the Low Price
on Transportation' In 'All the
Railroads Are Willing
to Guarantee.
The extremely low passenger rates that
have been In vogue for some weeks on all
transcontinental railways to points on the
north Pacific coast are to go out of style on
Wednesday of next week , April 20. General
Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pa
cific has announced that the northwest rates
will be. raised on that date , and the other
lines have given similar notice. The action
Is in line with an agreement reached at the
New York conference of passenger men on
Monday.
There will not be a complete restoration
of the demoralized rates. It Is deemed In
advisable , if not impossible , to put back the
cut rates to the tariff scale at this time. The
raise' that will bo effective next week , how
ever , will go a long way toward getting back
the rates to where they were
when the war between the American
and the Canadian transcontinental lines
broke out. First-class passenger rates will
bo raised from $20 to $30 , while the second-
class rates will be advanced from $10 to $20 ,
the rates applying to all travel from Omaha
and other Missouri river points to Portland ,
Tacoma , Seattle and Spokane. The rebate
plan will be retained after the advance in
rates , so that a traveler will not be able
to get one of the cheap tickets by merely
depositing $20 for a second-class or $30 for
a first-class ticket. In order to purchase a
first-class ticket he will deposit here $50
and receive a rebate of $20 on arriving at
his destination. When he buys a second-
class ticket he will leave $40 with the agent
here and get a rebate ot $20 at the other
end of the line.
Passenger men say they ere delighted with
the prospect of restoration In the north
west rates , as the deep cuts that have been
made In them have greatly upset all regular
business. It Is estimated that the railroads ,
by their prolonged rate war for Klondike
travel , have lost something like $100,000 a
week , or upwards of $1,000,000 since the
inauguration of the low rates. The
travel that has been attracted , so far as
the quantity Is concerned , has been a dis
appointment. The Klondike movement did
not begin to amount to what the railroaders
anticipated and the bulk of the travel that
has moved was that which would otherwise
have been carried for regular rates. Al
though the restoration scheduled for next
week Is only partial It is firmly believed
that it will soon be followed by a general
restoration ot rates , as Sir William Van
Home of the Canadian Pacific has signified
that his line will no longer contend tor dif
ferentials on through business.
Promotion for Peterson.
Another Omaha boy has forged to tfae front
la railroad circles. William C. Peterson has
just been appointed foreman of the raachtae
and car shops of tbe Oregon Short Line at
Pocatello , Idaho. He will have direct super
vision of all mechanical work done at the
bops tfcere , the largest plant on tbe Oregon
8a rt Lice. The appointee Is tbe eon o (

AL/AIUL WORKS TOO WELL.
Accidentally Set OB It Frighten * n
Servant Girl Dreadfully.
Tuesday about midnight terrible shrieks
were heard coming from the residence ot Dr.
Smith , 3jC5 Howard street. Neighbors rushed
over to find out what was the matter , the
firemen from the houeo at Jackson and
Twenty-sixth street turned out , and every
one within several blocus was awakened by
the long-continued Uirleks ot a woman In
distress. When tbe neighbors arrived on
the ecene they found a servant girl hanging
partially out ot an upstairs window and
nothing they could say seemed to lessen her
fright. -burglar alarm was ringing In the
bouse meantime and some effort was made
to find the cause of tbe commotion. Investi
gation proved that the rain bad completed
the electrical circuit of a burglar alarm and
set It going. Dr. and Mrs. Smith arc out
of town and tbe servant filrl who was alone
In Ibe bouse supposed that housebreakers
were at work , and was so frightened that
she was in hysterics.

REGULATES THE SCALPERS
Men Who Cut Bates Must To Eo Mildly to
Omaha.
SPECIAL ORDINANCE JUST PUT THROUGH
Conncll Adopt * a > Measure Intended
to Control the Hanlnes * of Hand-
HUK Railroad Ticket * by
Broken Durlnv Sniuuier.
The city council met In special session
yesterday morning , mainly for tbe purpose ot
passing an ordinance regulating the occu
pation ot ticket brokers. The ordinance I *
designed to protect tbe railroads while the
low rates to the exposition are In force to
the extent of compelling scalpers to take
out a municipal license and be subject to
certain specified regulations. It provides ,
that all ticket brokers muct pay an annual
license fee of $75 anl wear a badge. They
are not allowed to solicit buolnesa on the
street nor to sell tickets tbat have become
Invalid. Each must give a bond In the
sum of $2,000 , and any infraction ot the pro
visions of tbe ordinance Is made punish
able by a flno o2 not Ices than $25 nor more
than $50.
An ordinance granting tbe Belt Llne > Rail
road company a right of way over Twentieth
and Twenty-first streets at Boyd street was
also passed at the special eetslon. Tbls Is
also an exposition specialty , and It Is de
signed to allow tno railroad company to
put In an additional sidetrack near tbe ex
position grounds. This track Is for -the pur
pose ot accommodating tbe private cars ot
railroad officials and others who will visit
tbe exposition. The track will hold about
a dozen sleepew comfortably , and tbe mag
nates who prefer to live In their cars * bio !
In the city will be able to do so.
A resolution by Stuht declared It to b
tbe cento of the council that tbe Omaha
Street Hallway company should continue It *
South Tenth street extension to Valley street
In view of the fact tbat the city had Invested
$100,000 In the Improvement of Illvervlewi
park , and that access directly to tbe park
was desirable. Ii was adopted without ob- (
lection.
Tbe ticket brokers maintain that they were
taken by complete surprise at the passage of
tbe antl-scalplng ordinance. P. H. Pbllbla
cald : "Tbls looks like snap Judgment.
There are a half dozen reputable ticket
brokers who have been here a dozen years ,
and It does not look exactly right for their
business to be abolkbed without their being
given a hearing , at least. "
W. C. Norrls , another ticket broker , said :
"I have Just consulted with my attorney , and
tbe new ordinance will be contested In th
courts. Tbe city council seems to bve solved
tbe problem tbat congress could not and la
mucb less time. Tbe provisions for tno
license fee and tbe $2,000 bonA
may be all right , but the pro
hibition of handling contract tickets and
the demand to. keep a record ot every ticket
tnufcht and sold are sufficient to break up
tbe brokers' business , and fix even a greater
extreme than congress would conient to. "
Among the railroad men there Is much re
Jolclng at the passage of tbe ordinance. It
Is said by a prominent general passenger
agent that tbe new ordinance means tbat
It will bo much easier to get reduced rate *
for special days at tbe exposition than It
would , otherwise have been. He did not
think the new ordinance would have anjr
tSf.t'on tbe general ra tea-for Ihe whole e
period , as recently cr 4
