OFFICIAL PARTY STARTS FROM OMAHA I'rcMlili-nt Hurt and Othorn High In the Miiiiiiurinviit of the Cmiipmi } ' AtTnlrH AVIII I.rnvo on n Hpeolal Train Krliltiy Afternoon. Now that the construction of a modern passenger sr.itlon by the Union Pacific rail road In Omaha Is assured , the greatest In terest Is being manifested In Union Pa cific circles over the outcome of the annual meetings of the Union Pacific railroad and of the Oregon Short Line railroad , both an nual meetings to bo held in Salt Lake City , Utah , next : week. President Hurt of the Union Pacific has returned to local headquarters from Chicago cage , whcro the contract for the new station i was let , In time to leave for Salt Lake CICty , where the annual mooring of bla line will 1)0 held. With President Hurt there will be an official party , Including General Coun sel Wlnslow S. Pierce , Director T. Jefferson Coolldgo , ( leneral Manager Edward Dlckln- lion , General Solicitor William H. Kelly , As sistant General Solicitor John N. Baldwin end other attorneys to go out to Salt Lake city to attend the annual meeting. The official party will assemble at the Union I'aclflo headquarters here Friday , prepara tory to making the western trip. The party will travel In a handsome special train and expect to bo gone about a week. The annual meeting of the Union Pacific to bo held In Utah's capital city next week will IK > the first annual meeting of the re organized company to be held. Unusual Interest Is manifested In the financial and other reports that will bo presented on this occasion. The inciting has to bo held in Salt Lake City , as the new company Is In corporated In Utah , under the laws of that Btatc , only duplicate copies of the articles of Incorporation having been filed with the secretary of state of Nebraska , and In the other states In which the company operates a railroad. Almost simultaneous with the annual meeting of the Union Pacific In Salt Lake City next Wednesday will occur the annual meeting of the Oregon Short Line , a former branch of the Union Pacific. The pros pective presence of the Union Pacific of ficials In the llttlo western city on the occasion of the two annual meetings has strengthened the report , previously noted , to the offcct that the coming meeting will be the last annual meeting of the Oregon Short Line to bo held , ns after next week the Short Line Is expected to become a , part of the Union Pacific system. Alexander Millar of Boston , secretary , and Wlnslow S. Plcrco of New York , general counsel of the Union Pacific railroad , ar rived In Omaha yesterday on their way to Salt Lake City to attend the annual meetIng - Ing of the Union Pacific railroad. They called at the Union Pacific headquarters and then went out to the exposition grounds. They will leave hero with the other officials of the road for Utah on Friday. FIU2IGHT IIATKS < iHTO IIHTTKU. llnrlliiKtou I'nrtlully How * to the Situation oil AVheiit mill Corn. The cut of 5 cents on wheat and 2 cents on corn recently announced on all shipment's over the Missouri Pacific and the Santa Fo roads , has been met In part by the Burling ton route. General Freight Agent Crosby of the D. & M. has Issued a now freight tariff , in which the grain rates eastward from Nebraska points are reduced to equal the cuts of the other lines through Kansas City. For Instance , If the rate is 20 cents from a Nebraska point directly to Chicago , vyhllo from the same point the rate is 15 rents to Kansas City nnd 10 cents from Kansas City to Chicago , the direct rate Is reduced to 23 cents. In this way all the rates arc levelled to meet the cut rates of , the Missouri Pacific and the 'Santa Fe through Kansas City nnd St. Louts. The Union Pacific , tin Rock Island and the Elkhorn railroads will take similar ac tion within the next few days. Ilut such reductions arc a long way from being equal to the cuts of & cents on wheat nnd 2 cento on corn made by the southern lines. The fact of the matter Is that tha freight officials of the other western lines nro not allowed by the executive olllcers of their lines to Krant the reduced rates on wheat and corn put into effect on October 1 by the Missouri I'aclfis nnd the Santa Fe. The matter of meeting the cuts made by these lines has gene to the general man- ngcrs and the presidents , In Bomo cases , and they arc holding their freight ofilclars back with the hope that the demoralized freight situation will soon right Itself without the recourse to the heroic remedy of reduced rates. This Is the principal reason why the cuts of the two lines to the south of Omaha have not been met by the other lines , lloth the Missouri Pacific nnd the Santa Fo are hauling considerable grain out of this state on the cut rates. The Mis souri Pacific has several Nebraska lines nnd the Santa Fo carries traffic through Superior , Neb. Up to date the cut rates have not extended to any other cereals but wheat and com , or to any other class of freight , but the corn nnd the wheat ship ments constitute the great bulk of the grain traffic from the west.

WASHINGTON , Oct. C. Ono of the most irritating questions In the railroad history of the United States , and ono that has been the orovoklnn cause of moro destructive rate wars than any other Is In a fair way to bo adjusted. The American Transconti nental lines and the Canadian pcoplo have agresd to submit to E. S. Washburn , esq , president of the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis railway company ; W. A. Day of Washington , D. C. , nnd J. W. Midgoly of Chicago , oa arbitrators , nnd their decision to bo binding on nil concerned , whether the Canadian Pacific Railway company shall bo allowed a differential on freight traffic be tween the Atlantic coast and certain Pacific coast points , and If so , what differential shall bo conceded to the Canadian road. The arbitration board will meet at Chicago October 12. The opinion among the freight traffic of ficials of Omaha lines Is that a meeting of the board of arbitration to settle the dif ferences between the American and the Canadian lines wllf bo held within the next ten days. H Is an almost foregone conclu sion that the decision of the arbiters will bo against the right of the Canadian Pacific to longer enjoy n differential of 10 per cent over American lines on shipments to nnd from the coast. Most railroaders have ac cepted the decision of the interstate com merce commission on the passenger contro versy , Involving similar points , as a pre cedent for the settlement of the freight trou bles. A week ago It was feared that there would be no arbitration over the freight dif ficulties nt nlr , owing to the decision of the commission against the continuance of spe cial passenger favor to the Canadian lines , but it looks now as though a meeting would bo held with results not unlike those of the passenger fight. ItnltivnvolcN mill H. S. Fordyco has been appointed chief train dispatcher of the Ohio division of the Ualtlmoro & Ohio , vlco C. 13. Adams , re signed. Foreman Frank Orllfin of the Union r- clfic was badly Injured at Duncan , Neb. , on Wednesday. Ho was aboard of a fast train and was struck by a projecting mall crano. J. A. MacGrcgor , traveling freight agent of the Rio Grande Western rallwnv , Is In the eity from Chicago , the guest of Soliciting Freight Agent Hayes of the Burlington , dur ing the Ak-Sar-Den festivities. All of the morning trains were heavily loaded with visitors for the Al-Sar-Ilcn : fes tlvitles. Even the passenger agents were surprised nt the numerous arrivals , as they had not made ns low rotes nor done nearlj so much advertising for the Ak-Sar-Hen events of this year na In previous years. George H. Campbell , terminal agent of the Baltimore & Ohio at Baltimore , has , In ad dition to his present duties , been appointei ! Inspector of fltatlons and terminals over the whole line. Mr. Campbell has long been noted for his ability In this direction , ani the object of the appointment U to secure at each terminal better service in every re spect. Governor Stephens of Missouri nnd hla family , with the members of his persona staff and other state officials and their fami lies , will reach Omaha in two special cars over the Burlington on Monday morning next.

The Knights Templar who are members of the California commandcry , No. 1 , on a [ illgrimago to the triennial conclave nt Pltts burg , arrived In the city yesterday afternoon at 4:15 : o'clock. They were met at the st.\- tlon by a largo representation of local knights and csfortcd at once to the expo sition , where they passed the afternoon. The visitors numbered 107 and traveled In a special train of four vestlbulcd sleepers. There was also a combined buffet anil bifr- gage car , the entire train being under the supervision of W. H. Snedakcr of the Rio Grande Western road. Eminent Commandci Frazler was the official In charge of the sir knights. Among the party were. Sir Knights Hiram Graves and J. Richardson , who have attended every conclave for the last twenty-fivo years. Although the train was a few minutes be hind scheduled time when it reached the city , the trip through some sections of the country had been a record breaker. One mile of the distance from Fremont to Omaha was traveled In forty-three seconds , and the average per mile for the entire tilp ccross Nebraska was less than a minute. A small party of sir knights , among whom were G. W. Llnlnger E. Buckingham. L H. Horty , E. Hnucy ami J.V. . Maynard met the visitors at Fremont , traveling will them to this city , where they were turned over to the local committees on reception and entertainment. A long line of trolley cars was waiting on the viaduct and with out loss of time the visiting sir knights and their ladles were taken to the exposi tion. After supper they saw the Ak-Sar- Ben electrical parade from huge grand stands in front of 'tho ' Masonic tcmplo and at 11 o'clock the trip to Plttsburg was resumed. The train was delivered to the Union Pa cific nt Julesburg four hours late and two hours of this lost tlmo were made up in the run across the Nebraska plains. Most of the tlmo was lost on the Southern Pacific and Rio Grande Western roads. Engineer Thomas Grogan , with the big locomotive No. 1S01 of the Union Pacific , brought the train into Omaha. Between Julesburg nud Omaha several stretches of seventy and seventy-flvo miles In sixty minutes were made. AlllUtlUIIKMltH.

The figures for September liavc kept up the rate most encouragingly. The now mortgages for last month amounted to $154,359 for city property nnd $13,700 for farm property , whilst the can cellations were $201,469 for city property and $22,091 for farm property.

One of the meanest tricks of the clothing business is the trick of calling cheap goods by the names of well known fabrics fabrics that have a reputation for service and reliability. Don't go by names. Go by quality. For 3.75 wo sell a very decent ulster of Vermont gray bandlo cloth , heavy , warm , serviceable , but not all wool. If we called it a frieze or a kersey or a melton , it would pound better , but it wouldn't make the coat any bet ter. If you want to buy your winter overcoat from a straight house , from a house that calls a spade a spade , from a house that never resorts to petty de ceptions or trickery. Come in here today , if possi ble , and look over the greatest line of overcoats we have ever shown that's saying something. If you want to see the best overcoat ever sold in America , for five dollars , we have it. It is a dark blue coat made from genuine kersey , made as it ought to ho made to lit , made to wear , made to hold its shape and its color. We have hundreds of them. If you want to pay more money we can show you some at 6.00 , at 7.00 , at 8.00 , at 8.50 , at 11.50 , that wo aren't asham ed to sell you or afraid to have taken around anywhere for comparison. While we are on the sub ject of overcoats lot us tell you about some we are selling very fast at fourteen dollars. They're mel ton genuine melton. There ain't any hotter wear * ing fabric made than a genuine melton. FINE OVERCOATS Yon expect your new overcoat to last several seasons.
