A flat reduction of C cents per 100 pounds Ion wheat anil of Z cents per 100 pounds on fcorn on freight rates cnBtwnrd from nil ' points In Nebraska may bo expected within a few days. The cut IB necessary to mcot the southern competition of the Missouri I'aciflo railroad. The freight officials of Nebraska and. Ion a lines have had a couple of meetings on the ( subject hero during the last few days , lint have not yet come to any agreement. According to tlie majority , however , the final result Is a foregone con clusion. The Missouri Pacific announced the re duction n few days ago to become effective October 1. It did no to meet the competi tion of the Santa Fe railroad , -tthlcli gets Into the Nebraska territory by way of Su perior , Neb. The freight ofllclals of the Santa Fo nay that they were forced lo make ( ho cut because of the demoralizes ! condition of freight rates out ol Kansas City. They have made the cut In the liopo of speedily eecurlne a restoration of rates. The reduc tion Is not meant to contlnuo throughout the Boason , but Is merely applied to the freight situation ns a disinfectant to rid It of the Infection known as surreptitious rate cutting. CONTIIOI * ov THU jiuusmmG MND. Union I'nclflo Ilxncctn to Come Into I'oNKrMNloii Siiturilny. The officials of the Union Pacific railroad nro worked up to a high dcgrco of expect ancy over the possible absorption of the Jtilesburs branch of the Union Pacific , Den ver & Gulf road , running from Julcsburg to Denver , on October 1. They arc anx iously looking for a telegram from Now York , which may arrlvo at any moment now , announcing that the Union Pacific has finally secured full control of this Important utrlp of railroad. It will bo recalled that It was announced by officials of both the- Union Pacific rail road nnd of the Union Pacific , Denver & ( lull railroad that the Julesburg branch waste to paaa Into the hands of the former com pany from the latter on October 1. That date Is now very close at luind , but nil the necessary negotiations for the transfer of the branch have not yet been completed. It Is said nt the headquarters of the Union Pacific hero that there Is some hitch In the financial arrange ments , and It Is a question whether every thing 111 bo arranged In tlmo for the Union Pacific to take possession of the branch by October 1 , as previously expected cind announced. But whether the control of the Julcsburg Is secured by October 1 or not the officials of the Union Pacific nro confident that the event will occur very soon. If not by October 1 , then within the sixty days following. The branch Is badly needed In order to r Improve the service to and from Denver. , The Union Pacific owns the short strip from Denver to La Salic , Colo. , but the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf owns the line from La Sallo to Julcsburg , a distance of 152 miles. At Julcs burg the branch connects with the main line of the Union Pacific. Under the Gulf mau- ngemcnt the Julcsburg branch has been al lowed to run down. The track Is poor and the roadbed worse. When a train passes ( rom tbo Sherman graveled roadbed of the Union Pacific to the Julosburg branch It scorns Ilka going on to a corduroy road. To nako the needed physical Improvements on the Julesburg branch and to better the freight and passenger train Bcrvlco between Omaha and Denver , Union Pacific control of the Julcsburg branch ia essential , and that ovout now appears to bo close at hand. j Thcro Is good reason for believing that the full control and absorption of the Oregon Short Line will bo secured by the Union Pacific soon after the reorganized company takes possession of the Julesburg branch. TO TAICU CHOOICS OUT Ol ? THE J. J. IIIIl'H I'lnnn for Competing with Direct Mncn toTulii CltlCM. WEST SUPERIOR , WIs. , Sept. 20. It Is now said that the acquirement of tha Foss- I ton branch is tha beginning of J. J. Hill's plan to tnko the crooks out of the several of his lines of railroad , where a straighten ing will give him nn advantage over com petitors and that evidence of this Is given In preparations for the construction of a cut-off to Uie Twin Cities. The starting point for the proposed cut-off is Morn , Minn. , at the point the Great Northern line curves to the westward , mak ing quite a circuit to reach Anoka. By bulldlne bi olmost n bco line from Mora to Bomo point near Anoka , passing through Kanabec , Isantl and Anoka counties , the distance by this line between the two points nould bo nbout sixty miles , whereas tha present route from Mora to Anoka Is over ninety miles lu length. The effect this would have on the through service from the Twin Cities to Superior is rpadlly realized , the main object being , of course , to gain moro of a monopoly on the business , espe cially passenger and mall.

This mnkes six extra trains that are on the card for Saturday between the two exposition cities. For the Festival of Mountain nnd Plain nt Denver , October 3-8 , the western rail roads have agreed on n rate of one fare for the round trip. Superintendent A. B.

General Manager Holdrege and General Solicitor Maudcreon of the B. & M. and President Burt nnd General Solicitor Kelly of the Union Pacific , held a conference on terminal matters nt the Darlington head quarters jesterday morning.

PEARSE AND THE HOLIDAY Defer * ( o ( he WIndeM of Outxldc School People in Ao ( Illmnlnn- liiK the Onmlm "Pleaso say for me , " said Superintendent Pearse , "that I am not opposed to the Idea of having Friday a holiday In the Omaha schools or elsewhere. I have no preference In the matter , and should bo asllllng to have a holiday Frluay as upon any other day. The Omaha schools will not be dis missed upon Friday , but this decision has been made In deference to the wishes of some of the outside school pcopfc. One su perintendent of schools from out In the state came to Omaha lastt week to learn whether the Omaha schools would ho dis missed Friday. Ho said It they were not their people would observe School Children's day by dismissing school and attending the exposition. On the other hand , If the Omaha children wcro ro bo dismissed on that day they would fill the grounds and absorb the attention to the practical ex clusion of outside school children , and In that case the schools of Chelr city would not bo dismissed , but would take a later day. Expressions of the same sort from others led to a consultation with the officers of the board nnd wlt'li the state superintendent of instruction. After this consultation it was determined that the Omaha schools would not bo dismissed on Friday , but upon a later day , thus giving the youns people from out of town the freedom of the grounds and an opportunity to receive the consideration and attention which t'hcy might not get if the 10,000 Omaha children were there on Fri day. " ROUNDS UP DISREPUTABLES Chief White Make * n AVholrMnlr Hnltl AIIIOIIK : ( lie Ii Mv ltenor ( of ( he Thin ! AViird. Chief of Police Whlto headed a posse of detectives Wednesday who arrested twenty- five women , the majority of them colored , and nearly that number of men. With but few exceptions the prisoners have long police records. The nrrcsts caused consternation In "the district , " and many who ha\e waxed fat and grown wealthy from the robbery of the visitors to their haunts , are preparing to lea\o the city. To set era ! who had cn- Joycd immunity from the police for years , their arrest was a big surprise. They had been so accustomed to look upon the blue- coated guardians of the city as their friends and protectors that the shook of the arrest almost caused their hearts to stop boating. When thrown Into a cell with their com moner brethren they became \ery Indignant nnd Immediately wanted to send for their Influential friends. They were told that they had 'to ' tnko their chances with the rest , After spending the night In the cells at the old station the whole number of sus- pcots wore bundled into patrol wagons and taken to thu new city Jail. They filled five spacious cells. Charges of vagrancy nud suspicious character will bo palced against the majority of them this afternoon.

Capitol avenue from Seventeenth to Twen tieth street Is to bo repaved and put In Rightly nnd passable condition. Sufficient pressure seems finally to have been brought to bear upon the property owners adjoining to Indure them to ask for the Improvement of thn street , for the city officials are In formed that n petition Is being circulated which will request that the street be re- paved , and It is further said that the ma jority of the feet frontage on the street \\lll be represented upon it In the very near fu ture. ture.Tho The effort to secure the consent of the property owners to rcpave has been a long one. Capitol avenue was originally paved with cedar blocks , which have become BO rotten that the street Is In an abominable condition. The result was that not only did the avenue become Impassable , but It became ono of the most unsightly streets of the city. It should be one of the most at tractive , for nt Its head stands the. High school building and through Its center : or a couple of blocks run a couple of pretty boulevard parks. If It were properly paved the sweeping avenue with Its parks nnd with the High school and the grounds as a background would furnish ono of the moat attractive pictures of the city and one that would ho seen by almost every visitor to the city. When other efforts failed , the park board this spring took steps to induce the prop erty owners to repave. It ordered that the parks on the avenue should not be trimmed , but should bo allowed to grow wild with tangled grass nnd weeds until the street was repaved. Superintendent of Parks Adams failed to understand the order and cut the grass and planted some flowers In the little parks. Tor this action he was reprimanded by the board and was ordered to remove the flowers nnd pay no attention to the parks , but on the promise of the residents along the streets that a petition for repaying would be presented to the city council this jcar , the Improvements were allowed to re main , but nothing additional has been done. The wooden blocks are to bo torn up and an asphalt pavement will bo laid. As a pre liminary to this work an ordinance was In troduced at the last council meeting asking that the avcnuo between Seventeenth and Eighteenth street bo narrowed. The entire street between Sixteenth and Twentieth streets Is seventy-two fee4.-wlde , the widest thoroughfare In the city. Under the ordl- rance Introduced the block between the two streets mentioned Is to be narrowed to fifty feet , although the remainder will remain seventy-two feet in width. The property owners have asked for this In order to es cape paying.for the paving of the additional width. The claim that the extreme width Is not required because there Is no park In the block and the street Is not traveled much. Some of the city councllmeu are opposed to putting this Jog In the street because th'oy think It will spoil its appear- an'e. riiiliiiitfor The city has been given notice that Wil liam 0. Rood and wife will put In a claim for damages alleged to have been sustained on account of the bad condition of the pav ing Hi Fifteenth and Douglas streets. Rood Is an expressman. On September 3 ho and his wife wore driving along Fifteenth street and came to the crossing on the north sldo of Douglas. At this point a wooden brldg ing has been put over a sewer drain. The wood was rotted nnd the horse broke through. The anlmaf was killed and Rood nnd his wife were thrown to the pavement nnd received Injuries that aio alleged to bo serious. A notice of a claim for damages resultIng - Ing from a bad sidewalk has also been put in. The injured person Is a. little girl , Mamie Sto\er.

About September 1 Cox , Jones & Cox , commission men , received a letter from G. P. Newlln advising them of a shipment of 2,000 head of sheep. About the 10th of the mont'h the sheep reached hero and were sold , fetching $3,900. Newllnft ho came with the sheep , wanted the money In cash. He acted somewhat suspiciously , nud the commission men refused to give him the lump sum. Ho was advanced $50 , and the rest of the money was sent to io Commer cial National bank nt Denver , with Instruc tions to pay It to Newlln If ho could Identify ilniself as the proper person to receive IB. Newlln left South Omaha Immediately after the transaction , and has not since been heard from. From the bank in Denver the ocal firm learns that some $2,300 of the money has been drawn ouO.
