EXPOSITION IS TO GET BETTER TERMS Western Fnmienirer Amoclatlon Mny < > o by the Hoard , but the Itate * Will He Lowered Some Concen- HloiiM Already Announced. There will be a meeting of the Western Passenger association In Chicago on Thurs day of this week to take definite action in regard to reduced railroad rates for the remainder of the exposition. This Is the meeting that B. D. Caldwell , chairman of the Western Passenger association , was to have called the early part of last week. Whether the association decides on a low line of rates for the exposition or not , the meeting Is bound to be followed by the announcement of lower rates. If the other' lines do not care to agree to the rates pro posed the Omaha terminal lines are pre pared to put them on by Individual action. The excursions that have been offered re cently , especially the initial children's ex cursions , have been well patronized. The cut rate of $1.75 between here and St. Joseph , offered In both directions by two competing lines , has also been numerously used by exposition travelers and has more than trebled the attendance from northwest Mis souri during the last week. The cut rote of J9.25 in effect both ways between Omaha and' Chicago , on all four Omaha-Chicago lines , has also helped out travel. Neither one ot these cut rates , however , has been made on account of the exposition. They are the result of n demoralized condition ot western passenger rates. As long ns Omaha Bets the cheap rates it does not care what cause brings them about nnd if further demoralization will bring lower rates the collapse of the entire Western Passenger association , whose business it Is to maintain rates among the lines , will bo very cordially welcomed here. In addition to the cut rates mentioned , the following rates have been agreed upon by the association lines for special days at the exposition In the near future : August 19 Nebraska Sangerfest , one faro for the round trip from all Nebraska points.

TUTS OX SKTUAI.V TO HEX VEIL Union I'aelflc ArraiiKe * for Another Coiineetlon that Save * Mueh Time. Within the last week the passenger serv ice of the Union 1'aclllc has been notably Improved. The service between this : city ] and Denver has been doubled and the 1 "Overland Route" now has two fast trains l ' every day between the Exposition City and the Colorado capital Instead ot only one. The improvement has been brought about by putting on nn additional train on the i Union 1'aclflc , Denver & Gulf road from I Julesbiirg to Denver. This train connects j with the "Fast Mall" train , which leaves 'here ' at 4.33 o'clock every afternoon , nrrlv- j Ing In Denver the next morning at 7:33 : j o'clock. Formerly the "Fast Mall" had no connecting train at Julcsburg and the only connection for Denver wns made at Chey enne , Wyo. The change results In the sav ing of about four hours In the trip between J here nnd Denver. The returning train leaves Denver at 10 o'clock at night and i reaches Omaha the following afternoon at 4:15 : o'clock. "The Colorado Special" train will continue to leave here at 11:55 : p. m. . five minutes before midnight , making an Ideal train for I exposition visitors who desire to remain nnd enjoy the beautiful Illumination and other I evening attractions of the big show. This train now reaches Denver nt 2:55 : o'clock the next afternoon. The corresponding train. castbound , leaves Denver at 1:40 : p. m. and I reaches Omaha the next morning at 6:40 : i o'clock. ! "The Overland Limited" Is unchanged and j leaves for the west at 8:50 : o'clock every morning. The increased train service of the 1 Union Pacific now gives that route two Omaha-Dpiiver trains , two Omaha-San Francisco trains and one Omaha-Portland train every day In the week. New equipment has just been turned out of the shops for "Tho Chicago Special. " It made Its first appearance In Omaha on Fri day night , coming through from Chicago on the Chicago & Northwestern. It Includes two handsome sleepers , a beautiful new buffet library car , two Scarret seat coaches nnd n new baggage car. The equipment In XIBC on the "Overland Limited" and the "Fast Mall" trains is thoroughly up to date , including standard and tourist sleeping curb , chnlr cars , couches , and on the first named train a fine buffet library car , Hate for Utah People. The Union Pacific and the Burlington rail roads have just agreed on a rate of (25 for the round trio from Ogden and Salt Lake City to Omaha ( or September 14 , which will be celebrated ns Utah day at the Transmls- slsslppl Exposition. The distance from Salt Lake City to Omaha is 1,070 miles. The tickets will be sold on the evening of Sat urday , September 10 , and all day on Sunday , September 11. The tickets will have a limit of fifteen days , giving the folks from Utah a reasonable time to spend at the exposi tion. MISSOURI DAY HATES ARE OFF. One of the Line * from that State In IteMpoimluIe for It * Failure. The railroads have declared the Missouri day rates off. The day was to have been celebrated at the exposition on August 30. The rates made were 1 cent per mile from points In Missouri within 150 miles of Omaha and also from Kansas City. Outside of such points the best rate offered for the occasion was one faro for the round trip. This rate was too high , and the Missouri people held out for a rate of 1 cent per mile from all points In the state. Most of the passenger men In Omaha agree that a rate of 1 cent per mile from all points In the state would have been only fair , General Passenger Agent Francis of the B. & M. says : "Tho Missouri people were en titled to a rate of 1 cent per mile from all points In the state. They should have had It , I think , and I am sorry that all the lines would not agree to put It In. " One of the Missouri lines negatived the proposition , and the 1 cent rate for 150 miles and Kansas City was the best that could be secured. The consequence was that the celebration planned fell through with , and now the railroads - roads have made sure of the failure by withdrawing the rates they had offered. Invite * Idaho Editor * . General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific is determined to do all In his power to make Idaho day at the exposition a great success. It comes along on Octo ber 12 , and the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line have extended Invitations to the editors of all papers In Idaho to attend the celebration.

Frank Denuzzo was given a hearing be fore Commissioner Wapplch on the charge of passing canceled Tennessee warrants with the intention to defraud. Sol Brodky , the pawnbroker , on whom the bills were passed , testified against the defendant , and a num ber of officers were called to the stand to give testimony. The chief witness in the case , however , was May Richardson of 1500 Burt street , who Identified the warrants us some which were stolen from her houte at 11 o'clock the night previous. The defense made no effort to prove that Denuzzo did not pass the bills , but con tend that ho did not know that they were worthless. Commissioner Wapplch held Denuzzo to the federal grand jury under $1,000 bond. Denuzzo was not able to glvo bond. The charge of burglary against him Is well founded , and he will no doubt be ar rested by the city police in case ho suc ceeds In giving bond. Mneh Dnimive Done Itjr Storm. ST. PAUL , Aug. 20. A special to the DIspatch - patch from Jackson , Minn. , gays ; A terrific wind and rain storm passed over this vicinity last night about 8 o'clock , doing much dam age to itackcd and unstacked grain and out buildings.

Egge- tcln were killed. . n < COLORADO MINE IN COURT Sale of a Lot of Placer Claims Ends in a Lawsuit DEED IN ESCRO AND BANK ENJOINED Plaintiff * Say They Are Willing to Par the Price Whenever .Some Little lieiftil Formalities Are Dliipoiied Of. Colorado mining men find themselves en- ; agcd In an Injunction controversy here In he district court over the title to a group of gold placer claims In Montezuma county of that state. The reason , for this la that a deed In the 'deal was deposited In the First National bank of this .city , " and. ' , the original owner now threatens to take back the deed because some $700 duo on the property , as the last payment , has'not been laid him , though having fallen duo last month. The suit Is brought to enjoin the Dank from turning over ttie deed to hlnl. The plaintiff Is the Gold Run Placer Mln- ng company and the defendants are M. B. Marshal , who sold the claims , and the bank as custodian of the deed. The deal was made just a year ago. The company admits Ihe Indebtedness , but sets up as Its excuse for not paying Marshal a suit by one II. M. Smith against Marshal for $350 in Colorado rado , wherein the company Is garnished for Marshal. It stands ready , so reads the peltlon just filed with the clerk , to pay , Marshal whatever Is due him as soon as this garnishment matter Is disposed of. George N. Hicks , George E. Gibson and Frank M. Crowell bought the claims from Marshal as trustees for the company. Settlliiir the finlety Snltx. A rather peculiar turn is being taken by the Harry B. Clifford litigation In the dis trict court , arising out of a mortgage of $10,000 from Clifford to the Cllfford-Olympla company. A second replevin milt .has been flled by the company to establish n priority of claim on the furniture anil Edging of the theater , Constables Adams aial Learn and Attorney Hlch being made defendants , as in the former ca'se. This was done to offset an attachment sued out by an actor named Matthews. A , meeting of the creditors was held this morning to endeavor to fix up Bomo arrangement by which the theater could be kept running , so as to give each creditor a chance to get something on his claim. The creditors are mostly material men. Clone of the Contempt CiiKe. Some finishing touches on Monday will probably wind up the argument In the Holmes and Qulvey contempt ease. Judge Scott thinks he may be able to reach a de cision toward the end of the week. Mean while the Horn children matter before Judge Slabaugb , another habeas corpus case against the Nebraska Children's Homo society , still hangs nV * and will probably nut be dis posed of until Judge Scott gives his decision in the proceeding of the Dodds , now pend ing. The Orand court of the Exposition Is wonderfully beautified at night. No picture of It Is so good as The Beepho togravure. Stop at The Dec office for ono end some others. Three for ten cents. Workman llailly Hurt. But for thu prompt assistance of his fel low workmen , Henry Taylor , an employe at the Omaha Elevator company's works , would have been ground to death in the machinery of the plant. Taylor escaped with a badly fractured right arm. Ho was doing some work about ODD of the rapidly revolving shafts when bis right sleeve caught on ono of the set screws. Realizing 'his danger , Taylor grabbec\ support to prevent being drawn Into the machinery and screamed for aid. His fellows ran to hta assistance arid cut him loose. So great had been tfie s'traln on Taylor's arm that the bone was broken in four places between the wrist and the elbow. The Injured man was taken to St. Joseph's hospital. He lives at 1309 South Twenty-fifth street. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET Efttlnintoft for I'avlntr , Contract * for a New IlrlilHc and Future I'ln nil DUcnmed. Not much other than routine business was done at the regular weekly meeting of the county commissioners. Bills amounting to about $3,500 were allowed , $2,900 , of this be ing nn estimate from th paving fund for the Center street paving. The estimates from this fund are being allowed , says Presi dent Klorstead , as fast as presented and the fund will be about exhausted with the pav ing Improvements now under way on Cen ter and Dodge streets. The Canton Bridge company got the con tract for the s'eventy-five-foot steel brldgo on Center street -over the creek near the Mangold place at $1,073 , , and all bids for the culvert were rejected. It was explained that the bridge material on hand could bo better used 'in other improvements and that a good substantial bridge should be put up In this particular Instance In keeping with the class of work being done on this road In the shape of grading and paving. On a resolution by Commissioner Ostrom bids for another bridge were authorized , this one to be across the Elkhorn river In Waterloo lee preclnot between the Phelan , Reynolds and Llndquest farms. It will be a 150-foot bridge with approaches of thirty feet , and will probably cost about $5,000. Owing to the rough topography a deflection In the road had to bo made just as it runs out of Chicago cage precinct , the deflected road being opened between the Heffiey and Cunningham farms. Still another brldgo Is In prospect- one across the Elkhorn In Platte Valley pre cinct In the vicinity of the Noyes property. The employment of a male nurse at $2f > per month and a female nurse at $20 was authorized on a resolution by Commissioner Hoctor. Ho stated that the number of pa tients now Is forty-five , necessitating this increase of help. The board Is to meet as a committee of the whole with the county attorney Wednes day morning to obtain from Mr. Baldrlgo an opinion on the claims arising out of mis demeanor cases for attorneys employed to defend and for the witnesses. In felony cases the payment of such claims Is manda tory , but In misdemeanors It Is thought to be left to the discretion of the board. Ot the latter class was that of Attorney Battln , who was appointed to the defense In the Nick Yager case wherein the party accused was committed for a year. Mr. Battln's bill had been rejected , but on motion of Chair man Ostrom of the finance committee that action was reconsidered and the amount al lowed , aa it was deemed due the lawyer. At this same mooting the commissioners of the Douglas county exhibit will be in vited to be present for the purpose of giv ing the board some Idea of the character and amount of expenses being Incurred. The heads of departments ot the exposition arc also expected to be on hand to furnish esti mates of the amounts needed for the re spective departments out of the exposition fund for the remainder ot the tltno the ex position will bo running. There will be no regular meeting of the board until the last ot the month , so as to avoid the necessity for two meetings close together , as the board would have to meet on the last day anyway to pass upon the salaries of county officials for the month.

Sanitary Alii Annnelatlon Will Make it Lot of Stuff for Hie lloyn nt Munllii. The Nebraska Sanitary Aid association will meet on Tuesday at the Thurston Rifles' armory to BOW for the soldiers. There will bo plenty of machines and plenty of material to sew- on , and It is the wish of President Hoag- land that there bo a good attendance of women. There has been some deslro on the part of the women to sew for the Nebraska boys only. At ttie outset It was the Inten tion to do work for the soldiers , and what was done was under the direction of the surgeon general of the army. Now , how ever , It Is understood that the socloty fur nishing the goods can designate for whom they are to be devoted. In this respect the Omaha women will hereafter work for the Nebraska boys. It is the Intention to semi a box soon to the First Nebraska , now at Manila. Mrs. Hoagland Is very arixlous on this account that all the finished work now In the hands of the women bo brought to the armory on Tuesday. More 1'ollee llrutnllty. OMAHA. Aug. 20. To the Editor of Thi Bee : Last evening about 6:50 : o'clock , whllo on my way homo I witnessed the end of a fight between two men on Tenth street , be tween Dodge street and Capitol avenue. The end of the fisticuff , or rather the "rough and tumble , " was brought to a rather sud den termination by the appearance on the scene of two of Omaha's "finest. " Ono 'ot the officers took charge of the apparently defeated combatant , whllo officer No. 2 , be. sides taking charge of his man , pulled his billy and belambed his prisoner terribly. After striking him six or seven times , oni cer No. 1 suggested ho had better desist , which was done , probably because ho thought the rapidly gathering crowd would themselves turn officers and mote out a Just punishment to him. I forgot to men tion , while the officer was beating his pris oner , he also "threw in" several swear words , which would not look nice In print. It seems a shame to think that a city o ! Omaha'H size , has to have such poor speci mens of manhood on Its police force. While waiting at the patrol box for th "wagon , " the prisoner -who had received thu blows , asked the officer permission to walk up a block , where the brawl occurred to get his bat. The policeman demurred , saying ho walked too much now , to which the pris oner replied that ho did not believe ho hurt himself walking , or ho would capture a few of the crooks which now Infest Omaha. The witty remark amused the crowd im mensely , much to the discomfiture of ths officer , who threatened his prisoner with an other harder beating , without any limit , if ho didn't keep his mouth shut. I am gen erally partial to the whipped , but whllo the victor of thls _ fight probably received no inoro than be gave his opponent , the way in which It was given , was enough to arouse the ire and Indignation of any person. Con sequently , to ease my mind and put in n word for human treatment , I write tbll letter. Trusting you will publish this , I remain yours , CITIZEN. HIM Speed Haven Him. Harry Blitz , the young man who , as * Zulu , does street advertising for the down town merchants , proved to bo a good Rprlnter last night. His prowess as n runner wns the only thing that saved him from being severely cut by a stranger nomeU Torrest. Blitz and several women were sit ting in front of a house at Seventeenth and Webster streets , when they wore accosted by Forrest. Blitz and the women took ex ceptions to Forest's language and told him BO. Forrest then drew a knlfo. Blitz alleges , end started for him. Blitz ran nnd es caped him nnd continued to run until he met an officer , who returned with him to the house and arrested Forrest. A. D. T.
