Thlnir Out of Omaha.
While the passenger men In Omaha arc
watting to learn the results of the confer *
cnce of the Western Passenger association
in Chicago on the proposition to grant
reasonable rates to this city during the re
mainder of the exposition , they have an
opportunity to size up present conditions
and speculate on the future. Omaha Is rep
resented at the meeting by General Pas-
Bcngcr Agents Francis of the B. & M. nnd
Uuchanan of the Eltfhorn , and the latter
Is also representing the Union Pacific.
Nothing has been heard from the Omaha
general passenger agents except that they
will not be home until Saturday or Sun
day , the meeting proving moro lengthy
than was anticipated.
The conference was called to order on
Thursday morning and has been In RCS-
elon olnce then , except on Thursday even
ing. From the time spent In conference
without results , so far us Is known here ,
It Is presumed thnt the effort to secure bet
ter rates for Omaha is playing havoc with
the association. Omaha passenger men still
profess confidence that n lower line of
rates will be put Into effect on or before
September 1 , no matter what action the
association may take. Chairman Caldwell
has been very successful In hi1 } efforts to-
bold off cheap rates till September 1 , but
It Is certain that his opposition will no
longer avail.
Travel Already Heavy.
The splendid amount of travel that la
coming In here every day now Is sufficient
to prove to many that the attendance at
the exposition would be enormous If lower
rates were named. Recular travel la
very heavy , and It Is hard work
to secure a lower berth on any of the
afternoon trains to Chicago on the same
day that one Is to travel. The afternoon
trains to the west are also heavy , from
thirteen to seventeen cars being needed entrain
train * No. 3 on the Union Pacific and on
the Burlington every afternoon. The lat
ter train has gone out of here with two
locomotives nearly every afternoon for ten
days past. The Incoming crowds continue
to Increase In slzo and In the frequency
of their arrival. The largest ex
cursion yesterday was brought In
by the Port Arthur Route from
Chllllcothe , Mo. , and vicinity. The
party numbered 450 , and filled a special
train of eight coaches and a baggaga car.
The excursionists left Chllllcothe on Thurs
day night nt 9:45 : o'clock and arrived hereon
on Friday morning at 7:30 : o'clock. They
will return homo on Sunday night , their
tickets being of such limits aa to give them
three days at the exposition.
The Union Pacific helped to swell Friday's
attendance nt the big show by bringing In
several hundred children from Columbus ,
Neb. , nnd points along the line between
there nnd here , excepting Fremont. The
children's excursion tickets were not sold nt
Fremont because of an agreement with the
Elkhorn to look after that town on a sepa
rate date. Both the Elkhorn and the Union
Pacific have lines from Fremont to Omaha ,
but the competition for traffic between the
two lines Is not an keen aa it used to be.
The Union Pacific brought in about 250 chil
dren on train No. 8 , arriving here at 9:40 : a
n , , and about 100 more on the noon train.
nn Io > va Train.
' Travel on the Burlington from points In
western Iowa to the exposition baa Increased
o lately that the company has decided to
make a change In Its Creston local train so
that the people using this train may spend
all day and the evening at the exposition.
On and after Sunday next the Creston local
will arrive at the Burlington station at 9:15 :
a. m. , Instead ot at 10:45 : n. m. Returning
it will leave here for Creston at 11:40 : p ,
m. , Instead of at 4:10 : p. m. The change will
give passenger ! ) on these trains nine hours
longer to remain In Omaha , or at the ex
position. The trains will continue to be
carded as Nos. 9 and 10.
NO NEW FAST FREIGHT LINE.
Touted Combination Han He-en In Ac
tive Operation Several Yearn.
The report that there la to be a new fast
freight line formed between Omaha and Chicago
cage next month Is pronounced a mistake
by freight officials most competent to speak.
There has been no new fast freight line op
erating over the Kansas City , Plttsburg &
Gulf and tbo Chicago Great Western lines
formed , and officials of these lines say they
think no new line will be formed.
The Incident thnt has given rise to the
report Is a movement started by the Omaha
Commercial club among the jobbers of this
city to throw more of their freight traffic to
the railroads named. The movement Is un
dertaken by the jobbers to enforce their just
demand thnt other Iowa lines , the four old
Omaha-Chicago lines , do away with the ob
noxious bridge arbitrary.
One of the highest officials of the Kan-
! as City , Plttsburg & Gulf says : "There
has been no new fast freight line formed ,
nor do I think there will be any. The for
mation of a new fast freight line would
involve the election of officers and directors ,
the employment of officials nnd agents , the
establishment of headquarters and the
building of special cars. Nothing of this
kind is contemplated. We merely expect to
get more business out of the Omaha job
bers , ant. as wo do we shall run more
trains. That Is all there U to It. There has
always existed traffic arrangements be
tween Chicago. St. Paul and other points
on the Chicago Great Western and Omaha
and points west through Conception , Mo. ,
and points on the Omaha & St. Louis rail
road. "

Western and the Port Arthur route Is n
new thing Is amply refuted by the
statement thnt over 1,000 cars of hard coat
alone were shipped In hero last season over
the combination of these two roada. The
Wabash always did Itfl business Into this
territory through Pattonsburg. Mo. , and over
the * Omaha & St. l.ouls road , the latter
formerly being an Integral part ot the
Wabash system. It Is the short line to SU
l.ouls , and has always enjoyed a good
portion of tbo freight and passenger trafllc
between Omaha and s ( . Louis , In both direc
tions. Even before the receivership of the
Omaha & St. l.ouls road the Chicago Great
Western handled a considerable amount ot
business In and out of this territory through
Conception , Mo. Tbo eaatbouml business of
this combination of roads Is tio'.v , as It
aluays has been , principally grain from
Omaha and other Ncbracka points on the

SIXTEENTH STREET VIADUCT
City Attorney and City Engineer
Work I UK on IMnim for the
the Structure.
At the next meeting of the city council
City Attorney Council will bo prepared to
introduce an ordinance declaring the neces
sity of constructing a new viaduct across
the railroad tracks on South Sixteenth street
nnd Instructing the city engineer to draw
up the plans and specifications. This or
dinance was drawn up in response to a
resolution passed by the council a couple of
weeks ago.
City Engineer Rosewater has already
taken the preliminary steps toward having
plans for the structure drawn , but Is not
prepared to give out any Information. As
a matter of fact , all these plans are prelim
inary and the city engineer baa not made
up his mind as to the exact character of
the structure , except that It Is to be first-
class In every respect. It will be fully a
month before the plans will be In any sort
of shape.
It Is settled already , however , that It will
bo Impossible to keep the present viaduct
open whllo the new one Is being built. It Is
a pet scheme of President Blngham , who
is the councilman from the Second ward ,
to have the present structure kept open to
traffic during the construction of the new
one , but City Engineer Rosewater declares
this will be Impossible.
"The old viaduct will have to be com
pletely closed down , " he says. "If it were
kept open while the work on the new struc
ture is going on people would certainly be
hurt or even killed , and the city would have
plenty of damage suits on Its hands. The
new viaduct will be entirely different In plan
from the present ones. The grades will be
changed and the supports will be differently
located. The resolution declares that via
ducts arq now being built without Interfer
ing with traffic. This Is not true ot via
ducts open to public travel. Railroad bridges
can be constructed In such a way that travel
over the road Is not delayed , but the builders
know exactly when the trains arrive and can
prepare for them , and , moreover , are not so
disturbed very often. U Is quite a different
matter In the case of a public viaduct when
travel Is passing continually. "

W. H. Stuart Thursday was the victim
Oj a holdup with an admixture of confidence
,
game , about 8:30 : p. in. Mr. Stuart was
robbed of $39.90 , the entire amount which
he had brought to view the position , on
Twenty-seventh and Maudenson streets.
He had never been In the city until
Thursday morning , when he arrived from
Moorhead , la. Mr. Stuart spent the day on
the exposition grounds , nnd at 8 o'clock was
satisfied with tbo day's ' slR'atxeolng ' and
started to look up a lodging. On his way
to the gate he met a stranger near the GOT-
eminent building who asked Mr. Stuart It
be did not wish to get a clean , cheap board
ing place near to the grounds. Stuuit was
Ignorant of prevailing customs , and sup
posing that the man was a Hocused runner
he made an agreement with him to occupy a
room within easy walking distance of the
Twenty-fourth street gate.
The men walked west on Mandorson
street several blocks nnd the landlord an
nounced that they were on the point of
reaching their destination when they en
countered two men approaching from the
opposite direction. As they reached Stuarl
and his companion the strangers thrust re
volvers Into their faces and told them they
were under arrest for passing counterfeit
money. Stuart , noticing stars on their
coats , raado no resistance , as he was con
fident he could establish his Innocence. The
robbers , however , refused to take Stuart's
word for It and went through his
pockets for the alleged purpose of
bringing to light bogus money. They
unearthed $39.90 of geuulne coin and de
clared that they would be obliged to con
fiscate It ns spurious. It was too late to
protest for Stuart's hands were aloft and
the revolvers were still In his face , and , ac
cordingly he obeyed the order to turn and
march back down the street with his arms
In the air. Ills companion , who bad also
raised his bands at the onset , deserted
Stuart and polned the forces of the enemy ,
Stuart saw them discuss for a moment the
division of the spoils and then hurry away.
He proceeded to Twenty-fourth street and
notified a patrolman , who directed him to
the police station. A description was ob
tained of the footpads , as they wore no
masks , and detectives are endeavoring to
locate them.
An effort was made nt the station to sup-
press the news of the robbery , which was
successful until the patrolman near the
scene of the occurrence appeared at the ata-
tlon a few hours later. He had seen the
victimized lowan imperfectly In the dark
ness , and , supposing him to bo lodging at
the station , mistook him for a Bee reporter
lounging In a chair. He Inquired If any of
the money had been recovered , and was
led to tell the story.
C. K. Paul , a young man visiting In the
city , was robbed of his watch In a wine
room at a saloon at Fifteenth and Chicago
streets by a woman , who had coaxed him to
enter It with her.
Charles Hartwlg , of 1012 North Sixteenth
street lost $25 to a sneak thief , who en
tered his room during his temporary ab
sence.
A. J. Anderson , a stranger , was touched
for $60 by a woman , who , he said , met him
In the Elkhorn concert garden. Llda Eber-
sole Is under arrest charged with the theft.

MRS , MOLZAHN GETS BABY
Judge Tlnxtor Uolilc tlic
Corpud Cn o In Knvar of the
lie Kooto Mother.
In deciding who was the proper person to
have the custody of the Molznhn baby County
Judge Baxter had to bo something of a Solo-
I mon. The baby , Edward , Is a a months Bid
lad , with weakly constitution and a robust
vocal apparatus , and Its mother , Mary Mol-
zahn of Council Dluffs , and Its pro-tcmpore
guardian , Mrs. George II. Lebo of 3415 South
Fifteenth street , a llttlo woman of much
feeling , fought a battle of sobs and tears
for its future possession. Mrs. Molzahn sued
I out a writ of habeas corpus for the child ,
and Mrs. Lcbo Is resisting the writ. The
father has absented himself Indefinitely from
the wife he had taken to his bosom for bet
ter or worse , and a certain discrepancy be
tween the birth of the child and the date
of the Molzahn marriage rather confused
matters. The father before leaving for di
rections unknown to the petitioner placed
the baby with a Mrs. Gardels of 1136 North
Seventeenth street. That was about six
months ago. Mrs. Gardels makes a business
of taking care of children who come i Into
the world In an Inauspicious manner. A
short time ago she found a foster mother In
the person of Mrs. Lebo.
The court room was filled with sympa
thetic t women and the baby of uncertain
guardianship f was the center of much cmo-
j ! ttonal I attention. Part of the women wept
I whenever the mother wept , and the rest
cried < whenever tears trickled down the
cheeks < of Mrs. Lebo , who had formed a
strong attachment for the diminutive bit
of humanity.
Judge Baxter heard all the evidence with
a i great deal of apparent stoicism until Mrs.
Gardels ( gave her testimony. Then It became
certain i that Mrs. Molzahn Is the real
mother. i The judge hud no other course
to take under the law than to award the
baby to the one who had given It birth , so
with a fresh outburst of fobs all over the
court room the mother took her offspring In
her arms and deported for the other side
of the river , Mrs. Lebo giving the babe sev
eral passionate good-bye kisses.
If the law permitted him to put the costs
where they properly belonged , said the
judge , ho would have laid them on Mrs.
Gardels , but under the circumstances , ho
divided them evenly between the petitioner
and the respondent.
"I think I ought to have been allowed
something for taking care of the baby , "
complained Mrsi Lebo as she emerged from
the court roomr
PLANS FOR 'MASK CARNIVAL
Executive Committee Inline * a Public
Invitation to All Who IVInh to
Join In the Occnulon.
From the preliminary plans for the Grand
Carnival to be held upon the Grand Court ol
the exposition on Friday evening , September
2 , It Is believed the occasion will be one
ot the most enjoyable that has yet been
provided. Every one Is to go out for a Jolly
time , and the battle of confetti should pro
voke all kinds of fun. Similar occasions at
other leading fetes have proved red-letter
events , and there Is no doubt but that this
will be so recorded.
The following address has been Issued by
the women's executive committee of the cx-
position and Is self-explanatory :
To Amusement Lovers In Omaha : The
undersigned members of the woman's execu
tive committee of the Transmlsslsslppl Ex
position re authorized by the Board of
Directors to extend a public Invitation to
the citizens and visitors of Omaha to par
ticipate in the Grand Carnival to bo bole
at 8 o'clook next Friday evening upon the
Grand Court of tbo exposition.
Participants will please provide themselves
solves -with fancy costume and mask , or
with domino and mask , and assemble at the
Auditorium at 8 o'clock sharp. Arrange
ments will be made for the taking oare of
wraps and parcels left In charge of the
management at the Auditorium building.
The program of the evening will be to
eave the Auditorium In grand promenade
round the Grand Court , and thereafter the
attle of confetti will occur upon the Gramf
Court , when each masker will bo left to his
own devices. It Is desired to make this a
CBtlval occasion which all may enjoy to
he utmost , but the good order will be , as
usual , maintained by the exposition nu-
horlttes.
The ladles of the committee suggest to al
participants that It Is not necessary to go
o any large expense In securing costumes
or masks , as the simplest devices will be
entirely satisfactory.
