? John K. Cowcn , president and receiver ot
llio Baltimore & Ohio rnllroail , has re
turned to Haltlmoro after a trip over the
system with some of the prospective buyers
ot the road. In an Interview with the
Haltlmoro News he said :
"There Is absolutely nothing In the state
ment that there will bo n consolidation ot
roailn by which a transcontinental system
will bo arranged. Mr. Hill's statement is
very clear on this point. There will bo
no consolidation of roads , with the Orcat
Northern or any other. The Daltlmoro &
Ohio will hold Itself ODCII at Ohlcnco to
accept business from any of the great north
western roads which empty at Chicago.
There would bo absolutely nothing in tying
oursclvoB no with any of these roads , and
'the statement that wo would do so was only
n nap-hazard guess , raado ou the spur ot
the moment by some one when It was first
learned that Mr. Hill , the builder of the
( Jrcat Northern , was to become Interested
mi the Baltimore & Ohio.
"Tho Vanderbllts do not own the New
York Central , " ho said In reply to a ques
tion about the control of the road , "but
there Is no question but that they com
pletely dominate it. li will bo much the
name In this case. Whether or not the new
investors own a controlling Interest , no ono
who Itnows them will doubt for a minute
that they will pretty well dominate It.
Kvery small stockholder should bo glad ,
and probably IB glad , If ho Is posted , that
nuch men as Hill and Field nnd the others
liavo come into the Haltlmoro & Ohio.
Hnvo Killth In < h - lloiul.
"Think what It means. It Is that these ,
nmong the most astute railroad men of this
country , with all their wealth nnd their in-
lluoncc and experience , have looked Into the
Baltimore & Ohio as a pleco ot property ,
li.ivo examined it carefully and have de
termined that It can be turned Into a divi
dend payer. They have faith In the re
organization committee , and If I maybe
permitted to say so , in the management ot
the road. Understand , these gentlumcu are
buying the stock of the road , not its bonds ,
though I presume some of them have In the
course of their financial transaction acquired
porno of the bonds , too , but It is the common
fitock of the road which these gentlemen
have bought. They have stacked their dollars
lars in with the belief that the road will
'win out' In the vernacular. In other words ,
that it will become a dividend payer.
"Theso holders of the common stock ot
the Baltimore & Ohio will be the strongest
who have ever held it. They are nil railroad
giants nnd will Infuse new life into the
property. Nor are the four whose names
nro mentioned , Hill , Field , Armour and
Jlcam , the only ones who have 'bought Into'
the road. The stock , I can say , has been
judiciously distributed nil along the road
where It would do the most good. Other
influential men are interested In the deal.
They have bought stock n.nd have the ad
vancement ot the road's interest at heart.
No , I cannot say where or to whom this
fltock has been sold , but it will all appear
in good time.
"Tho recent transaction has been the reali
zation of my hopes about the future of the
road. It Is In line with everything I bad
planned. "
When naked OH to when , the reorganization
eliould now bo completed , Mr. Cowon said :
"Well , I should say In a low months , possi
bly three or four. There nro a great many
details to arrange about the foreclosure of
courso. The suits are not worrying us much.
1 don't think anyone is particularly afraid
ot their outcome. I think that in a few
months -the cntlrp reorganization will bo
entirely effected. "

That the railroads Intend to make Chicago
cage day at the exposition a success In point
ot attendance is evident from the following
taken from the Times-Herald of that city :
"If Chicago is not wonderfully well rep
resented by organized bodies at Omaha next
Saturday Chicago day It will not bo the
fault of the railroads. The competition for
this business has become BO great that
every kind of concession is being made.
It was reported yesterday that the Burling
ton was to carry the Cook County Marchlnt ?
clijb to Omaha anu back at the rate of $5
per man. This is denied , though no ques
tion has been raised that a round trip rate
of about $8 secured the business. All of
the roads , It Is claimed , are making round
trip rates for organized bodies of about $8.
In addition free tickets are clven , free
berths , free accommodations at the expo
sition city , free shaves , free baths and free
tickets to the exposition. The demoraliza
tion has not yet reached the free chromo
etate , but it is expected to before Friday.
"Tho Sebastian form ot round trip excur
sion ticket saved to the Oinnha-Colorado
lines recently Just $4,352. The leading feat
ure of this ticket Is that the return portion
tion Is not given to the purchaser , but IB
forwarded by the selling agent to the agent
nt destination , there to bo claimed by the
owner. For Colorado day at the exposition
n rate less than the one-way faro was made
for the round trip. When the limit of the
tickets had expired it was found that 256
return portions of round trip tickets never
hnd been claimed by the purchasers. Thla' '
means that that number of people slmpljr.
took advantage of the low rates to go one |
way , Had the old form of tickets been i
'
used those return portions would have been
Rold to scalpers , and the railroads would
have lost 256 regular passengers on tickets
sold for $17 each. "

SIOUX CITY , Sept. 26. ( Special. ) A
corps ot Illinois Central engineers Is said
to bo going over the line of the proposed
route between Fort Dodge and Omaha , and
there is Email doubt remaining In the minds
ot the local railroad olUclala that this much
talked ot extension Is to bo built nt last.
The probable effect nuch a connection would
have on Sioux City nnd the north and south
lines running through Sioux City Is being
given serious consideration In railroad cir
cles.
cles."A
"A study of the situation , " said a well In
formed railroad man , "will convince anyone
that this proposed extension of the Central
will do no good to Sioux City. In the first
place , why will the Central build Into
Omaha ? It certainly docs not expect to
tap rich territory , and It is not looking for
business from the roads west ot the Mis
souri , which have eastern connections. This
extension Is not to be built by the Illinois
Central company for the purpose of tap
ping Omaha for Its main Hue. No. that
Is not the reason. The Illinois Central Is
shrewdly going after the north and south
business. The distance from Omaha to St.
1'aul nnd Minneapolis by way of Fort Dodge
and the Minneapolis & St. Louis will bo
seventy-eight miles shorter than It is by
any of the present roads. The Illinois Cen
tral Is interested In the Minneapolis & St.
Louis line and with on extension from
Fort Doilcc to Omaha will have a route
that will prove a formidable rival ot the
old established lines In the Missouri valley.
It will divert shipments from Sioux City
roads.

The Omaha terminal lines have agreed on
reduced rates to this city'on account of the
autumnal festivities of the Knights of Ak-
Sar-Ben. The rates are regarded as very
fair though they are not so low as was ex
pected by some. Near-by points will secure
n rate of ono faro for the round trip , and
points In the western part of Nebraska will
enjoy a rate of 1 cent a mile.
From stations from which the ono way-
faro to Omaha Is $6 or less , 'the ' rate will be
ono faro for the round trip , with a minimum
excursion rate of.l. Tickets will bo sold
on October 3 , 4 , G and C , with the final re
turn limit of five days from date of sale.
From points in this state beyond the
region where the one-way fare to Omaha
is $6 or less , the rate will be 1 cent per mile
In each direction. This will bring the rnto
from western Nebraska points down to a
scale almost as low as the $5 blanket rate
that has been offered during previous Ak-
Sar-Ilen festivities for the round trip to
Omaha.
Tickets will go on sale ono day before the
first Ak-Sar-Bcn parade. The Ak-Sar-Ben
parade on the evening of October 4 will In
augurate the festivities. The following day
will bo left open for exposition attractions.
On October G will occur the grand electrical
parade , and the coronation ball will be held
on the evening of October 7. The five days'
limit on all tickets will give the visitors an
opportunity to see all the festivities and
then spend some time here.

In Knr from Heine Hntlnfnctorj- .
The local freight association was In ses
sion Just five minutes yesterday
morning. Scarcely any business ex
cept the calling of the roll was
transacted. The brief session Is not
Indicative of nn Ideal situation in freight
rates , tor the freight men themselves say
that rates are anything but firm. The res
toration made on August 23 has not been
maintained.
The cut ill grain rates announced by the
Santa Fe railroad was anticipated. AccordIng -
Ing to freight men , the cut Is made in the
hope ot improving the situation. It Is be
lieved there Is no better way of getting rid
of secretly reduced rates than to publicly
put the same Into effect. The cut has
not been mut by any ot the
grain carrying lines through Omaha
or at least no such action has bcei
announced by any of them. The Santa
Fo's cut extends to the eastward nnd to
| the southward , the system having terminals
In Chicago and Galvcston. The effect on
local roads Is expected to bo shown within
the next few days.
It Is given out that Utah rates , which
have been in bad shape for some time , wll
go back to tarill this week. No attemp
has been made to fix up the situation eas
of here. For a time following the genera
orders to restore all freight rates to tariff
rates to Chicago and to Mississippi rive
points were maintained by nil lines , bu
the bars nre down now nnd the loca
freight men see no Immediate prospect o
their being put up again ,

TERMINAL COMPANY'S ' MOVE
lanagor Webster Says His Company Asks
the Eight of Way Alone ,
PROPERTY OWNERS DEMAND EXPLANATION
for ItlKlit to Clone StrcrtN In
the Third Wnrit Hi-Inn * Out n
Xninlicr of I'c-orilc AVho
AVunt to Know.
A ecoro and more ot property owners who
loascss real estate along the right of way
hat the Knst Omaha Bridge nnd Terminal
company desires to secure from Fourteenth
and Webster street to Eighth and Capllol
avenue , were present at the meeting ot the
commlttco of the whole of the city council
yesterday afternoon to Insist that certain
restrictions should bo put Into the pro
posed franchise. This matter consumed the
greatest portion of the mectlnc.
Among those who were present were the
following : James Crolguton , Anton Gzant-
ner , Thomas Swift , Tim Kelly , John Lucas ,
Pat Ford , Tim Morlarlty , James Callalmn ,
J. J. O'Connor , Orvlllo Smith , Abe Smith
and Abe Heed. They ono nnd all were em
phatic in their deslro that the company
should declare Its purposes before the fran
chise nnd the right of way Is given. The
company was represented nt the meeting
by John R. Webster , who had on hand a
plan of the proposed tracks.
There were a variety of objections to the
ordinance granting the right ot way , as nt
present framed , advanced by the property
owners. The most pertinent was that the
terminal company was not prepared to pay
them what they considered a fair valua
tion for their property and It they did not
accept what was offered they were exposed
to the danger of having their property ren
dered worthless. As one of them said : "Wo
want nn assurance that this company really
means business nnd that It Is not buying
the land for some railroad that Is seeking
admission with tbo purpose of building In
an Indefinite future. Wo do not want to
have the right of way given nnd then have
no advantage taken of It , our property In
the meantime being under option BO that
wo cannot dispose ot it. Again , too , under
the present ordinance , it would be possible
for the company to refuse to pay a fair
price for the land and to purchase to ono
ildo , throwing our property In the midst
of railroad tracks eo that It would not
bo worth anything. "
StiMplcloun of Another llonil.
The general impression appeared to bo that
the Terminal company Is simply acting ns
ho agent of some railroad , such as the Chicago
cage Great Western or the Illinois Central ,
f this were the cnso and the road were given
.ho right ot way down Fourteenth street
from the north to Webster , It Is insisted
.hat "the " only Inlet for any other road from
.ho north would bo barred.
"It would bo another case of the Belt
, lne , " said Orvlllo Smith. Right of way for
this line was secured on the representation
that a road would bo built about the city
which could bo used by all the roads. When
the route was secured , however , it was
found that Jay Gould was behind the scheme
nnd the Belt Line Is now but a side track
for the Missouri Pacific. "
Mr. Webster of the Terminal company ,
"however. Insisted that there is nothing of
the Wnd proposed. Ho said : "Wo nro In
tending to build these tracks ourselves. Wo
are not building for the Chicago Great West
ern nor for the Illinois Central nor for any
other road , popular belief to the contrary.
Wo propose to let any road that we can se
cure to cpmo In over our tracks and the more
the numberjtho better for us. Wo have spent
more money than would bo needed to con
struct a line of railroad from Omaha to Fort
Dodge and wo propose lo spend still inoro
in public improvements. "
Ono of Iho proposed amendments , there
fore , will bo that use of the tracks will bo
allowed to any railroad companies that want
to como In. It was also Insisted that a pro
vision must bo Incorporated In the ordinance
to the effect that the construction ot the
road must be commenced within a year or
the right of way be forflelted. The purpose
of this Is to prevent the company from hang
ing on the right of way with 'the ' object of
preventing any other railroad from enter
ing Omaha along the route. It was pointed
out that the road might not build a track
for a dozen years and yet retain the right
of way under the present ordinance.
AVniitH u Time Mmlt.
Another amendment to bo put into the
ordinance Is a requirement that within a
reasonable time , perhaps three months , tbo
company shall present and place on file
with the city a plan showing over wlml
ground It proposes to lay Its tracks. At
present under the ordinance the right ol
way is two blocks wide. Under the latter
the company would secure an option on all
property within the width of two blocks.
It might be possible for it , it it could not
secure the land at Its price , to lay the
tracks along the west end of the right of
way and put the lots to the east in such
a position between its own tracks and the
tracks of the Missouri Pacific that they
would be worthless.
Another amendment will provide that 1
warehouses are constructed along the tracks
the company will not only build such side
tracks as are needed but will also permit
other roads to put In side tracks. Finally
City Engineer Rosewater recommended ai
amendment providing that the right shoulc
bo reserved to the city to lay water , gas
and sewer pipes under the tracks and that
the company shall have the crossings prop
erly lighted with electric lights.
Mr. Webster agreed to all these amend
ments and he also made a proposition that
In cases where there is a difference between
the price that the owner wanted for qls lots
and the price that the company was willing
to give , a compromise price should bo set
tled upon by a commlttco or board of arbi
tration made up of a member appointed
by the property owner , another by the com
pany and a third to be selected by the two.
These were the main amendments that
are desired by the property owners. They ,
ns well as others to be suggested , will bo
Incorporated in an ordinance to bo drawn
up by a committee consisting ot Council
man Bechel , City Engineer Rosewater ,
City Attorney Council , Mr. Webster of the
terminal company and Messrs. J. J. O'Con
nor , Abe Reed and James C. Crelghton of
the property owners. The commlttco will
hold n meeting In the council chamber this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Will Vote on IlondK.
This railroad matter consumed so much
time that tew other things wcro considered
by the committee. It was decided , how
ever , to pass the ordinance providing for
the presentation to the people at the coming
election of a proposition to vote $50,000
sewer bonds and $50,000 paving bonds. City
Engineer Rosewater pointed out that tiicic
is no money In the Intersection fund with
which Intersection paving or other paving
that the city might want could bo paid for.
He also stated that there are some twenty
or thirty miles of brick sewers In th3 120-
mile sewer system of the city that must
be repaired In the very near future. Other
money will be wanted for extending same of
the main sawers. for example , to the dis
trict about Thirtieth and Bristol btrtct.s.
where so much damage was recently done
by rain on account of a lack of u sower.
The ordinance that authorized the city to
offer to the citizens a proposition laota
$200,000 bonds for the erection of a market
house vjis laid over for ouo week , The
barbers' ordinance , as reported last meetIng -
Ing , will be passed. It contains a minimum
as well ns a maximum f-rMo ot prices for
onsorlal work.
The council adjourned In order to examine
ho new city Jail , which Is to bo occupied
this week.
The city councllmcn nro busy In
preparing lists of registrars for their vari
ous wards , to serve on registration day. The
city charter provides that the ap
pointments must bo raado by the
couucll this month , This cvcnlnc's meet
ing Is the last ono nt September
and unless the appointments are made at
that time u special meeting must be held
during the week.
There nro very nearly 200 registrars to be
appointed. From the council their names
will go to the mayor and they will bo noti
fied to visit the latter for examination.
Those who pass this examination properly
will bo reported back to the council with
the approval ot the mayor. Koch of tho.
registrars draws $3 n day salary for the
three days of registration , making the total
expense to the city nearly $1SOO.

A stranger in Omaha 'i Do you want to buy
goods ? ] ) o you want to spend'your niouoy in re
liable places or do you want to spend it where some
body gives you a good smooth talk and where things
are "fixed" so as to look bettor than they really are i
There are plenty of snide places that lookjill right
on the outside , that have goods marked away down
low in the windows ? , that have a nice pleasant talk
ing man outside the door or on the street corner
who is paid for meeting people. ,
and giving them advice where to spend their money
and who never makes the mistake of sending them
to a place where they pay no commissions or whore
there isn't a "divvy" in it for him. Don't be ad
vised by any pullers-in. There are plenty of re
putable stores in Omaha who do business ou the
square and who wont take advantage of you , but
they have no sidewalk "agents" or no "cappers" or
"pullers , " or "confidential salesmen" on the outside.
The Nebraska is a reputable store. This week we
are making special efforts to show our friends from
the country how much cheaper wo can sell goods
than they are accustomed to and in order to drive
the fact home wo put on sale this morning two great
