The largest transfer of cars that has been
made among any westctu railroad lines In
icccnt years had just hem completed In this
city , and an the result COO largo box rars
that have been use on the Union Pacific rail
road arc now being delivered to the Kansas
City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad. The cars
were forme f y owned by C. B. Havens & Co , ,
this city , but operated on Union Pacific
lines. They bavo just been purchased by A.
a. Stlllwell , president of the lines of the
Port Arthur route.
The deal has caused a tremendous hub
bub In local railway circles , especially about
the Union Pacific hcmlquarters , und la ac-
coptoU by railroad men as Indicative of
President Burl's policy to separata the
Union Pacific railroad fiom the many and
various allied corporations that have been
tloso to the "Overland Route" in jcars gone
by. The cars wore built for the Omaha coal
concern In 1&89 by the Peninsular Car com
pany of Detroit , which In the same firm that
has constructed a big lot of cars for the
now Union Pacific this year. The cars were
ordered by Samuel Megeath of this city ,
who was Interested In the coal in In OH at
Hock Kprlngs , Wyo. , nnd George W. Me-
grath , president of the Sweetwater Coal
Mining company , both of which concerns
handled considerable coal on the. Union Pa
clfic railroad.
From 1S&9 until the early part of 18D8 the
cam were used very freely on the Union
Pacific. As the cars woio owned by the
coal men the railroad company paid them ,
whenever the cars were UHcd , and It Is said
considerable sums of money wcio paid over
as mileage during the eight veais the Union
Pacific used the Megrath cars. Soon after
the rcorganlratlon of the I'nlon Pacific rail-
load the carr began to bo Idle more than
they were In use , and during the last few
months the Union Pacific has hardly used
t'le cars at all. As the Omaha owners of
the cars found no me for them on the Union
Pacific they decided to sell them , and had
oo trouble In negotiating with the Poit Ar
thur route for their sale.
Somewhat over half of the 600 cars have
already been delivered to the noith and
xouth line and morn of the cars have been
brought In from points on the Union Pa
cific to Council Bluffs , where they are taken
by Port Arthur engines and run down to
Kansas Cltv. Mo. The deal was made very
quietly , but the lansfcr of no
many cara gave the matter pub
licity. Since then discussion on
matter has been rife among the- Union Pa
cific official * . Two sldi-s are heard with
about even frequency. By the friends of the
now regime of the Union Pacific it is main
tained that the owners of the cars were get
ting rich oft the Union Pacific through mile
age on the cars By the other side It Is
asserted that the Union Pacific was short
of cars and had to use other cats wherever
It could obtain them and tha' the terms on
which the Omaha ioal cars were used were
more favorable than could be made for the
use of any other can. Whichever sldn Is right ,
It Is certain that the Union Pacific hereafter
Is going to use Its own cars and that allied
corporations might as well dispose of their
rolling stock nt the earliest opportunity.
The cars arc each thirty-four feet long , nnd
have a capacity of r > 0,000 pounds. They were
built In 1889. hut are still in good
condition , They ale capable of being used
for general freight put poses , as well as In
the coal-carrying trade , and by the Kansas
City , Plttsburg & Gulf load will bo em
ployed on the line south of Kansas City to
carry grain to Port Arthur , Tex. , for ex
port , and to haul lumber and coal north
from the south to Kansas City and Omaha
The purchase of the 500 card adds materially
to the freight equipment of the progressive
north and south line and puts it In splendid
shape to handle Us rapidly Increasing
freight traffic

The resignation of Harris from the Elkhorn -

matter. "

For a cloudy Monday , morning travel Into
Omaha was good , while the outgoing travel
was declruril by attnches of the two pas-
scngo ? stations and other places where trains
arrive nnd depart to bo the lightest It has
been since the exposition swung Its gate *
open. The icmarkubly low rates' given by
the railroads for visitors from lown , Ne
braska , Kansas and South Dakota to the
exposition during Us last week are lespon-
slide for the number of people brought In.
All of tbo passenger officials expect tha' '
the arrivals will be greater In number as
the closing day draws nearer , especially II
the weather should become more favorable.
At the Burlington station the work of the
regular trains Info Omaha- had to bo sup
plemented by n special from the Hastings
branch. There were eight coaches In the
train and all were well filled. The
Union Pacific's train from the west came In
with two heavily loaded sections. All of
the four morning trains from Chicago were
well filled , nnd the local tialms from west
ern Iowa points , which arrived later , also
brought In u goodlv number of visitors. Llko
the trains of the Burlington and the Union
Pacific fiom the west the morning express
of tlio Hock Island brought In a big numbet
of visitors. The Hock Island's nftoinoon
train from the west Is In two sections , with
two big loads.
At the Webster street station the arriving
trains were well filled and a special of the
Elkhorn road from Superior , Neb , and In
termediate points arrived shortly after 10
o'clock with another lot of 4.0 excurslonlsti.
As all of the excursion tickets are good foi
five days they are likely to remain here lor

CHICAGO , Oct. 24 Another respite has
been granted the Missouri river lines In re
gard to rates to Montana and northern Pa
cific const points. The Chicago Cireat West
ern will refrain for the present from apply-
In ? Short Line lates from lower Missouri
liver points to 'Montana ' , eastern Washing
ton and north Pacific coast points. An
opportunity will ho afforded the transcon
tinental lines of considering all the questions
Involved before anything further IH done
In the matter. Since the proposition to
apply Short Line rates by the route named
was made many complications have pre-
, Bcntcd themselves. Hates from Duluth and
j Superior , ns well as from the Missouri river
gateways , have been threatened with dis
turbance. The ( treat Northern , which is
as directly Involved as the Chicago Great
Western , has requlied the latter to refrain
fiom taking further action in the matter at
piesent and that road has complied. Of
cource this does not finally dispose of the
matters In dispute , but the nnds Inter
ested feel that a great point has been gained
when thev have avoided the Immedi
ate application of the late. It Is believed
thit when full opportunity is given of dis
cussing the whole matter some way will be
found of reaching a satisfactory conclusion

ment some time ago not to run thrce-onglno
' trains and no crow would respond to the call.
j It IB believed In rallioad circles that the

declared. The fctrlke now Involves about
fifty men. The passenger business has not
been aflected.

from an Inside pocket and was placing It
to his head when the coroner stajcd his
arm and took the weapon from him. Tolled
at his attempt dear prostrated himself on
the child's body and gave vent to the most
heartrending grief. Ho sobbed and kissed
the Impassive face of the corpse nnd
played to be stricken dead by Its side. Ho
blamed himself for the child's death be-
cattso he suld he had neglected It.
The child , which was but 15 months old ,
died October S ut the residence of a woman

Three things you want to keep in mind about The
Nebraska. Wo soil honest goods only ; wo wive you
money ; we give you a square deal. A"youug fellow
came in here yesterday with an ulster on his back
that ho paid live dollars i'or. We could have sold
him one that would wear twice as long for 0.75. Wo
could have sold one for ( ivo dollars that would have
worn him two whole winters without looking shabby
and the one he bought is a miserable mixture of sati
net and shoddy that will begin to look shabby
in M days. We don't understand how stores of that
kind can look people in the face or stay in business ,
but they do it , and they work ou the principle that
there's a new victim born every day. This morning
we want to say to you that if there is anything in
winter outfits that you Avant , from underwear to over
coat , from cap to shoes , from a live cent collar to a
swell top coat , you'll jsavojnoney by buying it here.
Como in today and look'at tlio"great lines of suits
we are showing at 5.75 , (5.50 ( and 7.50. Look at the
grand all wool underwear we are offering at 1.50 a
suit. Look at the magnificent winter sox more than
half pure wool , wo are selling at 15 cents a pairand
look at the rare rare mind you shoes we are sell
ing at 2.50 a pair. You don't have to be a judge to
buy goods at The Nebraska , You can't get cheated
here.

end crop of stylish winter suits. They are not like the regu
