A. J. Karflng , second vice president and
Roncral manager of the Chicago , Milwaukee
& St. I'oul railway ; I'hlllp 1J. Armour , one
of the directors of the same company , and
Dr. Baker of Chicago , npcnt yesterday
In Omaha. The morning was devoted to a
visit to the now plant of the Armour com
pany In Chicago , and the afternoon was
Bpent at the exposition grounds. The party
lunched at the Omaha club with Fred A.
Nash , general western agent of the Mil
waukee , and K. 1' . Peck , secretary of the
Omaha Klovator company.
In an Interview with a Bee reporter Gen
eral Manager Karllng said : "Wo have Just
about completed a trip over the lines of our
Bystem , and I do not know that I have ever
seen them In such good condition. Not only
the road Is In good shape , but the crops along
the lines appear to bo In splendid condition.
All the Indications point toward good yields
of grain this season. The spell of hot weather
that wo have had scarcely Injured the crops
along our lines at all.
"Thero Is nothing new In Omaha depot
matters to ho given out at this time. The
matter Is under consideration , but I have
not heard of any final action being decided
upon. The report that the Milwaukee nnd
other companies have under consideration
the formation of a company to purchase the
now Burlington station and transform It
Jnto a union station I have heard , but I
know of no such plan. At least the matter
lias not been presented to us In that way.
Regarding tbo building of a union depot I
must refer you to the Union Pacific. You
liad better see the Union Pacific about that.
The matter rests with that company. "

Interest In the Chicago Great Western and
its probable entrance to Omaha still contin
ues to be the uppermost subject In railway
circles. Nothing more has developed here
to assure that the entrance of the road is a
fact , though the recent transfer of some
property near Twelfth and Davenport
streets at a considerable profit has been
taken by some to mean that the land has
been secured for the railroad company.
Whllo representatives are busy denounc
ing the Orcat Western as a "rate cutter"
nnd saying that that Its entrance hero will
do Omaha no permanent good It IB clear to
bo seen that they are somewhat worried.
A comparison of the annual reports of the
"granger lines" shows that In freight earn
ings per mile run the Chicago Great West
ern leads Its competitors. The earnings from
freight trafllc per mile ruu of the various
roads are as follows :
Chicago Oreut Western J1.S9
Chicago , St. Paul. Minneapolis & Oamha 1.88
Chicago & Northwestern 1.7.1
Chicago , Hock Island & Pacific 1.63
Chicago & Alton 1.33
Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul ( latest
report , 1S97) ) 1.70
The Chicago Orcat Western earned last
year about 3 per cent on the A'Block entitled
to receive cash dividends. The managers
thought It wiser to put the money Into the
property , promising that a dividend should
bo paid next January If earned. The report
allows It to have been earned and holders of
the stock now are looking for a declaration
of a dividend thereon at an early date.

The travel on the Chicago , St. Paul , Min

count of the celebration of Cody day was
very heavy. In fact It was so heavy that
the company was unable to properly handle
the traffic. The accommodations on the reg

quate to the demand. The train was filled ,
every scat In the coaches being taken and
porcons standing up In the aisles of the

There has not been as liberal a response
to the Invitation to contribute good things
for the boys of the Second Nebraska regi
ment to enjoy on their return as the com
mittee expected. Mrs. Hoagland yester
day said : "Somo chickens and bread
have come In this morning , but not nearly
enough to meet the demands. I have no
doubt but "that " many more citizens expect
to send In 'tilings ' , but are delaying until
they learn Just when the soldiers will bo
here. It would bt > better If they would
lot us know at once what they expect to
lend , and then learn of the time of the sol
diers' arrival later. But we must know
at once just what supplies are coming In. "
Mrs. James McKcnna reports that during
the morning Mrs. Belden sent word that she
would contribute a dozen loaves of bread.
It Is hoped that others will follow this ex
ample.
Up to 3 o'clock p. m. yesterday no definite
advices of the arriving time of the Second
regiment had been r6celved. The Missouri
Pacific railroad Is to haul the regiment from
St. Louis to Omaha , and the local olllca ex
pects to bo advised through Its St. Louis
headquarters as soon as the troops leave
Chlckamauga.
Mrs. C. E. White , president of the Ladles'
Auxiliary to the Thurstdn Rifles , desires to
call attention of the members to tha recep
tion to bo given the Second Nebraska on
Its . return from Chlckamauga and urges all
to take part In the preparations for the
banquet. Members are especially requested
to co-operate with the committees named
,
for the banquet arrangement and afford
them all assistance necessary , delivering to
them all provisions prepared for the ban
quet.
quet.Mrs.
Mrs. Hoagland la very anxious that all
who Intend to assist In the matter let her
or some other member of the committee
know ' nt once , In order that the committee
may know just vhat can be done.
A telegram was received last evening to
he effect that the loading of the Second
Nebraska regiment of volunteers on the
cars at Camp Chlckamauga was procced-
ng rapidly und the Indications then were
hat the troops would get away from Chlck
amauga at midnight Wednesday. If the
leparturo should bo made at that hour the
regiment would arrive In St. Louis on
Thursday aftcinoon. If this time schedule
should be carried the regiment will arrive

KIRBY GETS HIS "LIBERTY
Conductor Walker Unnlilc to jUnkc
HM Identification Strong Ute
to Hold Him.
Conductor Walker , who caused the ar-
est of J. S. Klrby Sunday , alleging ho was
me of the two men who held him nnd his
motorman up nt the terminus of the Hans-
corn park car line Friday night last , was
lot so positive as ito his Identification of
Clrby when he went on the stand to give
ils testimony nt Klrby's hearing yesterday.
His failure to show that Klrby was the
man and the strong alibi put up by Klrby
secured the release of the alleged robber.
Four witnesses were examined besides
Walker and jiotorman Hanson. These two
recounted 'tho story of the hold-up as pub-
Ished In The Bee the morning following Us
occurrence. Thomas '
Edney , Klrby's room
mate ; Miss Jesslo McKnlgut , who la em-
) loyed at the house where Klrby roomed ,
3418 Sherman avenue ; and J. P. Selpp , second
end steward at Markers restaurant on the
exposition grounds , proved Klrby's where
abouts on the night of the holdup.
F. C. Carr , the lone passenger of the
car on th < s night of the holdup nnd who
calmly watched the two men rllle the
pockets of the train crew , swore that Klrby
was not one of the men. He said ho took
, n all of the points of Identification about
Ihe men , knowing ho would bo called on
as a witness. The taller man of the two
robbers , the one Klrby was thought to be ,
Cnrr testified , was very light complected ,
with short , light , stubby hair. Ho was
also a much heavier man than Klrby and
broader In the shoulders. The clothing this
man wore was of a light gray color.
Klrby's clothing Is brown , his hair la jet
black and bis face Is as dark as an In
dian's.

HER LOVE DROVE HER CRAZY
Snil Story of Sirs Moore , " \Vlio .lumped
Into the .MlNNoiirl ll\er TIICN-
ilny N I Kill.
The Identity of the woman who Is sup-
iosed to have committed suicide by Jumping
nto the river at the foot of Jones street
Tuesday night was established yesterday.
She Is Mrs. C. A. Moore of Silver City , la. ,
s the card she left In her satchel Indicated.
Icr husband called at the police station and
osltlvely Identified every article the woman
eft lying on the river bank.
Ho was almost prostrated nt the sight
f the articles. "If she has committed
ulclde , " ho said , "I cannot think of any
'cason ' she could have had for the act , un-
ess she was Insane nt the time. ' !
Mr. Moore says that his wife left their
liomo Tuesday morning early to como to
Omaha to visit relatives. When she left
ho was In good spirits anil looked and
icted ns though she did not have a care In
he world.
Moore and his wife were married In
Omaha July 21 last. She was until six
months prior to the marriage In an asylum ,
having lost her mind , It Is
aid by her friends , because of
icr parents' objection to her
teeping company with Moore. Frank Thomp-
on of 2805 Leavenworth street called at
he police station Just before Moore did. He
old Captain Mostyn that he knew the
voman and her family Intimately. Ho said
hat Mrs. Moore
, whoso maiden name was
laud Pltzer , was nt one time a school
eacher. She met Moore and fell In love with
ilm , but the parents objected to her keep-
ng his company because of the differences
n their ages , she being ten years his senior.
These objections unbalanced her mind nnd
he was sent to an asylum. Six months ago
Thompson alleges her physicians concluded
cure could be effected by allowing her to
marry Moore and he prevailed on her par
ents to allow her to do so.
The couple was married and Mrs. Moore
apparently recovered her mind. Mrs , Moore
las relatives said to bo wealthy at Glen-
vood and Illllsdale , la.
Whllo the body has not been found as yet
ho police do not question but the woman
umped Into the river. They believe that
she first Intended to commit suicide by
chloroform , ns a bottle of that drug WM
'ound In her satchel. She planned everything
vlth deliberation , as the carefully piled
clothing found near the spot where she Is
lUpposed to have taken the fatal leap shows.

What is a "paler1 In the. days of our grandmother -
mother a sale was the interchange of money for goods.
Of Into years , however , a sale is usually an excuse
for Helling the same goods to different people at
prk-esat different times. You have never
known The Nebraska to el large two prices , or to hold
any special sales. You have never known us to ad
vertise a "mark down sale" or a "bankrupt sale , " or
an "overstocked sale" or a "closing out sale. " Even
when we had the greatest opportunity a store ever
had we didn't have any "removal sale. " For the
next ten days , howe\er , we are going to have a series
ries of Exposition sales , during which time we shall
put on exposition daily a different line of men's fall
suits now , fresh from the makers at prices that
will not bejipproached , much less equalled , at any
kind of a "sale" thatnwy come before you this year.
During this exposition of fall suits , we wish to im
press upon this community two things. First that
we stand back of these suits until the buyers are rea
dy for new ones. Second that we are ready
at all times to buy them back at the price you pay
for them , provided , they are not worn. Another
thing you want to bear in mind , is this whatever
we say about these suits in the papers , you can
depend on. Tomorrow we will tell about Suit No. 1 ,
Today , we commenced a sale of Tail ,
ored Suits an odd lot of line wool suits
