SEVERAL PEOPLE ASSERT THEIR POWER Nice Mtilo Conflict of Authority In volving Three IIlRh Olllulitla nml Tire Holler Toi | _ ! ) tin at the New I'oHtolIlcc. Questions of authority caused no small decree of stlffnes snnd coldness at the new postofnco building this week. The right of prestige around the building has become al most as delicate a matter as that which continually threatens the peace of official roclety at Washington. The conflict came over the moving of a roller-top desk , nnd It has furnished a whole lot of amusement to the employes of the bulldlnc , outside of these directly Interested In the dispute. Some time nco the revenue department stationed a special revenue agcut tn this city. This was a new Innovation for Omaha , and was balled with delight by all patriotic citizens as a proper recognition of the worth and standing of the city. Previous to that time Omaha had been humiliated by being placed under the Jurisdiction of the agent stationed at St. Paul. George H. Wheelock of DCS Molnes was sent hero to take the new position , nnd his work became so heavy that It was not long until ho had five assist ants working with him. This made It nn important office. But when Mr. Wheelock came to Omaha there woreuo quarters which ho could con vert Into an office , and the custodian of the new building was authorized to provide a room and furniture for the new official. A room was assigned to him on the main floor , facing Sixteenth street , which was also oc cupied by the superintendent of the building. Two desks were placed therein for the ac commodation of Mr. Wheelock and his as sistants. At this time Postmaster Martin was custodian of the building. Recently Mr. Martin was deposed from that position nnd Colonel Champion S. Chase was appointed. Shortly after this change ON1S IN KVKIIY FOUK. Ono Person In Every Voiir SnITerN From I'lli-H. About ono person In every four suffers from some form of rectal disease. The most common and annoying Is Itching piles , Indi cated by warmth , slight moisture nnd in tense , uncontrollable itching in the parts affected , The usual treatment has been come simple ointment or salve which sometimes give * temporary relief , but nothing like a per manent euro can be expected from such superficial treatment. The only permanent cure for itching piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Cure , Y not only for Itching piles , but for every other form ot piles , blind , bleeding or pro truding. The first application gives Instant relief and the continued use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the In tense Itching and discomfort of Itching1 piles. Many physicians for a long time supposed that the remarkable relief afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it contained cocaine , opium or similar drugs , but such la not the case. A recent careful analysis of the remedy showed It to be absolutely frco from cocaine , opium , or In fact any poisonous , Injurious drugs whatever. Sold by druggists at SO cents per package.

IOC was made Mr. Martin had one of the doaks assigned to the revenue agent removed and transferred to the postofflco work room. As this did not occasion any crcat Incon venience nothing was said about It , but a | couple of dajs ago , acting under the orders of I the postmaster , the assistant custodian of the building , Louis Bochme , removed the remaining desk and put it in the postoluco work room. Lnteimcr KIICTN the ( ininc. Now fcmong these who have some author ity about the new building John Latenser Is no silent partner. Ho is superintendent of the structure , nnd as such ofilcinl has some rights which even the custodian can not abrogate. It Isn't far from his olP.ce to that occupied by the postmaster , but as the latter la In his olllco only a few hours a day , and Is therefore hard to find , Mr. La- tenser wrote a letter making Inquiries as to what authority Mr. Martin had for re-1 moving the desks , nnd requesting that ono | | of them be returned. The letter was rigid ; In Us formality. Mr. Martin replied in his characteristic English , also using the malls , asking Mr. Latenser when he got Into the game and making other remarks about Eomo people crossing the line which defines their own duties. Mr. Latenser would not be bluffed out , and again used the malls and a 2-ccnt stamp. He dropped formality In this com munication , and told the postmaster that "sticks and stones may wound our bones , but words can never hurt us. " He then re minded the postmaster that the roller-top desk belonged to the old postofllce building , and had been removed by the postmaster without orders from Washington , contrary' to the rules of the department , and v.'as still scheduled as among the effects left In the old building. Ho reminded Mr. Martin that the desk occupied the new building uiilaw- fully , and that if It was to bo moved anywhere - whore It should be taken back where it be longed , and wbcie the government officials supposed it was. He also asked by what right the postmaster gave orders to the as sistant custodian , when Mr. Martin had ceased to be custodian some three weeks ago. ago.This This was the last communication to pass between them , so far as the record shows but the isiue has not stopped there. It Is promised that the whole transaction will be known In Washington before another Sun day , when instructions are expected which will define the powers of the various officials about the bulldlnc. In the meantime Mr. Wheelock Is using the desk of Mr. Latenser , and the latter is doing his correspondence on the face of a draughting board. Yesterday afternoon Colonel Champion S. Chase , as cuotodlan of the government bullJ- inc in Omaha , received a telegram from the Treasury department requesting him to fur nish the dcrertment with an explanation of whv Mr. Wheelock was deprived of his office facilities 80 suddenly. The colonel didn't know anything about the case until ho read the etorv In The Bee and In due tirer will start out to learn the particulars from the nartles In Interest. He hopca to have a comprehensive report of the situation pre- nnred In time to forward to Washington Bomo time within the coming week. Chlim'M Uniiicror linn HrlKM'a NEW YORK. Oct. 22.

Railroads Preparing to Haul in Some Immense Crowds. LOW RATES FOR IOWA AND NEBRASKA CoiiceMNlonn Cover Nearly a ThniiMiml Mllcn Kant ami Went mill I'romlnc to Move nn IJiuiniiiil Num ber of People. The Indications all point to large crowds for Omaha during Its last week of the ex position. Commencing on Sunday a remark ably low line of rates will bo put Into effect on all Omaha terminal lines , and most ot the railroads have advertised the reduced roles for next week exceedingly well. Spe cial train service has been arranged on every railroad entering the city , and the passen ger men this morning declared that If the sun would just shine tn the same bright way It appeared this morning , the attend ance of the week would prove a record- breaker. Rates as low as $4 from > the extreme west ern edge of Nebraska and of $5 from the eastern boundary of Iowa have been made for the round trip to Omaha during the wrek. | At some points these rates nre offered as early as Sunday , and at other places not' until Monday or Tuesday. The tickets will bo good for five days. Graded down from the rates nnmwl are proportionately low rates from all points In Nebraska , Iowa , ' Kansas nnd South Dakota. I City Ticket Agent Piummer of the Rock Island Is in the city arranging for a big party next week from Rock Island , Daven port and Mollnc. The mayors of the three cities hnd a meeting on Friday at Davenport , nnd It wns agreed thnt the three municipal governments uhould bo well represented at the exposition for the trl-clty celebration. A special train will leave Davenport on Tuesday evening at 11-15 p. m , and will ar rive hero on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. It Is thought that about COO excur sionists will take advantage of the low rate , I offered to join this party to the exposition. I The Iowa Central railroad has arranged a big party from Peorla , III. , to spend a couple of the latter days of the exposition on the grounds. Although 500 of thcso latter-day saints are surely coming from Pcorla , there Is a little controversy among the railroads ns to what rate they shall pay. The Iowa Central made a round trip of | 5 from Pe- orla ro Omaha , but when It com menced to figure with connecting lines to deliver the party In Omaha theao lines re fused to accept a proportional share of the J5 rate. The party was to have been turned over to the Northwestern at Marshalltown , la. , but that line declined the proposition , Tbo Rock Island was then offered the business , but up until Saturday noon hnd not made up Its mind to accept It. If the Iowa Central cannot get Hs party hauled Into Omaha , It will probably raise the rate Just enough to meet the wishes ot the general passenger agents of the Iowa lines , although if a num ber of prairie schooners can bo secured an overland trip from the middle of Iowa to Omaha might bo a novel attraction to ad vertise. with KrniHili Ijlnex , TOPEKA , Oct. 22.

I'ormatloii of the Anuoclntioii In Noiv AI in out an Acooniiillnlied Knot. The movement to establish a passenger as sociation of the transmUsouri lines has ad vanced 'far enough for another meeting of the general passenger agents of the Inter ested lines. This will be held tn this city , convening on Thursday morning ot next week. It will bo atl'sntled by the general passenger agents of all lines west of the river , and probably a number of the repre- scntatlves.of the Iowa lines. The principal business of the meeting will i bo to consider the form of agreement for the lines composing the proposed association. An agreement has been prepared by Gen eral Passenger Agents Lomax of the Union Pacific , Francis of the B. & M. and Buch anan of the Elkhorn road. Thesp were ap pointed a committee several months ago to draft the agreement and have completed tlhelr task. The organization of the now Transmls- Bourl Passenger association has not been urged forward during the summer on ac count of the lax condition of all passenger aEreeinontK. Even the ono that Is supposed tn hold all the linen In the Western Pas senger association together has been Inoper ative during the summer. The unsettled condition of rates In the west Is rcapons.blo for this. The rates between Chicago and St. Paul have been tn the worst condition , and the situation between Chicago and Kansas City has been notably bad. Except for the reduction made to Omaha on account of the exposition , rates hero have been well main tained. It was deemed unwise , however , to trv to make the association agreement effec tive until after November 1. At that time , It Is oredlctcd. all rates will bo advanced to tariff through the way of clearing up the remnants of the rate war with the Canadian Pacific. The formation of the transmlssourl asso ciation will mark the end of the control of passenger matters In this part ot the coun try from Chicago. Western passenger men Imvo grown tired ot going Into Chicago , and tbo meetings of the now association will be ! held In turn In Omaha , Kansas City and Denver. The new association will work In | harmony with the Western Passenger asso ciation , as two of the general passenger agents who have drawn up the new agree ment are representatives of Chicago lines and will not do anything to Jeopardize the Interests of the Chicago Institution.
