Local passenger men , when appro.icbcd on
tlio nubjcct of rates for the Greater Amer
ica Kxposlllon this summer , manifested n
notuljlo cvaslcnufts in tlielr replies. They
Hay the matter has not yet been brought
bctoro them officially anil nro not pre
pared to give n time when the subject will
be taken up for consideration. It will bo
dealt with by the Western Passenger as-
lioclatlon , for whatever rates they may be
nmclu on account of the exposition will
nllcct all other rates In the western terri
tory. It IB said the rates made for the ex
position last year hail an Influence upon all
rates for passenger tralllc between Chicago
und the Pacific coast.
In a composite form the position of the
k three general passenger agents In Omaha Is
that while rates may bo made for the
Greater America Exposition , they will not
be like those adopted Inst year. Unless the
exposition company takes some steps to
protect the railroad companies from scalp
ers low rntcs to the exposition will bo out
of the question. They say their cxperl-
rncc In this regard last summer was
enough to satisfy them for years to come.
They allege numerous Instances whore they
quoted n rate to n prospective passenger
nnd the latter went to a scalper's olllce
nnd nccureJ n ticket for less than half the
price made by the ngcnt. They charge that
the scalpers operating In Omaha last sum
mer carried away with them not less than
? 2r.0.000 , reaping the bulk of the profit to be
derived from the exposition business.
The prevailing low rates which arc In
effect every day as a result of the de
parture mode by the northern lines are said
to bo an reasonable as should be expected
for the exposition , although this opinion Is
qualified to some extent. Those rates apply
ns a rule to second class tickets , while such
rates as may bo made for the exposition will ,
of course , bo for first class tickets. The
one-faro for the round trip will possibly bo as
low as the rates will bo made at the start.
Whatever rates shall bo made for the ex
position will liavo to meet the approval of
nil the western roads and It Is considered
doubtful If they will consent to anything
better than a ono-way faro for tlio round
trip and It may take some stiff plugging to
Bccuro that much of a concession. The
scope of territory to which the rates will
apply will bo another matter to bo conslrt-
orcd and It Is predicted that the outside
lines will fight to hold the limit down ns
small ns possible. It Is said to bo ex
tremely doubtful If the rotes will apply
to points more than 200 miles distant from
tlio city.
The exposition managers called n meeting
at the general managers of the railroads
recently , but only one of the latter was
In the city and the meeting failed to ac
complish anything. Slnco that time noth
ing has been done to secure the co-operation
of the Omaha roads' . The passenger men
expect to bo called upon to take the matter
up before long , but It Is not probable that
any rates will bo announced before June 1.

Illinois Central Snlil o Hnve nn Kyo
on ( lie ICt'minril Corner.
It Is understood that the Illinois Central
people nro figuring v/llh F. B. Kennard for
the building on the southwest corner of
Fourteenth and Douglas streets for a city
passenger nnd ticket ofllce. It Is said that
Uio company has been forced to give up Its
1'opo for n location on Farnam street , as
the plnco desired was occupied by business
houses , with a lease extending Into next
year , which they were not disposed to sur-
icndor. The company caniiot wait that
length of tlmo before opening an ofllce In
this city nnd has begun looking elsewhere.
The Kennard building Is leased until De
cember 31 next nnd the railroad company
wonts to tiave Its olllco opened for business
by November 1. The Omaha Drewing ns-
fioclatlon is the present occupant of the cor-
ncr and as there Is only n question of n
coujlo of months when It will bo required
to vn'cato the property under its lease , it Is
believed there will be llttlo trouble In mnfc-
liig the property available for use by the
railroad company If terms can bo agreed
upon between the company and Mr. Ken-
nanl , who soys ho will know In n few days
Just what position lie will bo in and what
ho can offer his prospective tenant.

There Is much conjecture as to the prob
able route of the Burlington's now lines In
western Nebraska and an effort has been
mndu to find out the exact COUIBJ to be
taken. So far as could bo learned , and yet
hiibjcct to change before construction , the
line from Alliance will run on n south
westerly course to the North Tlatto river to
n point on the north bank near Camp Clarke ,
nnd then northwesterly a < eng t'ie volley of
the river to Hartvlllo , Wyo. , and possibly to
points not yet determined upon.
The south line will start at the pnlnt near
Camp Clarke , taking n southerly r.ourso to
Sterling , Colo. , nnd paralleling the Union
Pacific for a number of miles from tbat
place , connecting with tlio Burlington's main
line to Denver nt Brush , Colo. The line
may cross the Union Pacific nt Sldnoy , out
this la not definite , as the crossing may bo
at n point farther west to make I he route
from Camp Clarke to Sterling a more direct

The tornado which did such damage nt
Clrksvllle and Newton , Mo. , adhered strictly
.o the rules of tornadoes ns lold down by
the best authorities. They occurred cast of
the 100th meridian nnd were whirlwinds of
small radius nnd of highly destructive vlo-
ence , just ns they nro dcsciibcd In the
Century Dictionary nnd Cyclopedia.
This work states that they nro generally
seen os a whirling funnel pendent In the
southwest quadrant of nn area of low pres
sure several hundred mll'es from Its center ,
nnd having n rapid , progressive movement ,
generally toward the northeast. The prlncl-
ial condition precedent to the formation of
n tornado , Just ns for a thunder Htorm , is
in unstable state of the atmosphere. In the
oruado n whirling motion from right to left
of tremendous energy Is generated in n mass
if clouds , and often maintained for several
lours , while in the ordinary thunder storm
i complete cyclonic motion probably Beldim
Mcomes established. Tornadoes generally
irlso Just after the hottest part of the day.
when the atmosphere has Its maximum in
stability ; the time ot their greatest fre
quency being from now until July. The
lestructlon may bo caused cither by the
sufaco wind , which Is forced In on nil sides
.o feed the ascending current of the tornado
funnel , or by the gyrating winds of the
funnel Itself when sufficiently low to come
within the reach of buildings ; In the latter
case no structure , however strong , is ap

As n matinee attraction the bill nt the
Orpheum thU week Is beyond compare. First
of all , there are Caron and Herber , the
famous acrobatic comedians , who are so
clover at pantomlne , performing some really
astonishing feats. Willie Weston Is a sweet
singer and capably assists James II. Man
ning In "The Irish Pawnbroker. " An event
which has attracted much attention Is the
appearance of the charming La Potlto Beth ,
who has scored a signal triumph by her
clever singing and dancing. The Gypsy
quintet Is headed by the celebrated contra-
tenor , Mr. Charles King , whose work as a
soloist has met with great favor at every
performance. This afternoon Mr , nnd Mrs.
Robyns will appear In "Straight Tip Jim , "
their clover racing play , but on Thursday ,
Friday and Saturday nights they will pre
sent their great success , the one-act comedy ,
"Counsel for the Defense , "
Mr. Herbert Kclcey nnd Miss Eflle Shan
non , who have scored such a pronounced
success In all the principal cities this season
In Clyde Fitch's successful play , "The Moth
and the Flame , " have been secured for n
return engagement at Uoyd's theater Thurs
day night. For many seasons , as the promi
nent figures of high-class successes , they
liavo acquired fnmo nnd reputation. Mr.
Kclcey , as the central llguro of Daniel Froli-
mann's Lyceum Theater company , Is known
to bo a great nrtlst of wonderful power and
finish , and Miss Shannon , nn actress of fine
art , exquisite pnthos and the charm of gentle
womanhood. Their appearance should con-
stltutu the fashionable event of the fast
declining theatrical year. Everything dur
ing the performance happens In such a
naturaC manner. The actors move about ,
talk , laugh and suffer so naturally that an
onlooker feels ns if the play were going on
In the midst of his own life.
"A Midnight Bell , " which begins nn en
gagement ut Boyd's Friday night , will un
doubtedly be cordially received , ns pre
sented by n company , headed by that very
droll comedian , L. H. Stockwcll , who has
made n success of more than one stellar rofo
In Hoytlan productions. The quaint travesty
on rural New England is always a source
of continuous mirth to the largo audiences
wherever presented , who enjoy the per
formances to the utmost. Mr. StockwelPs
Deacon Tldd Is said to bo worthy of him.
Frank Bacon Is the bank cashier , a some
what trying role , nnd Ous Tate , as the
green country boy , Is said to bo n source ot
endless Joy to the audience. A feature lit
the third net Is the Cakewalk , In which
Master Tate appears , with Miss Pearl Land-
era , the minister's sister.
An engagement which has been looked
forward to with no little anticipation nnd
pleasure is the first appearance In this city
of the Zlegfeld Comedy company Sunday
afternoon and evening next In the "Turtle"
at Boyd's. It was only after offering the
greatest Inducement that the locar manage ,
nient was fortunate enough to Induce Mana
ger Zlegfeld to bring his celebrated comeu >
hero Immediately following Its long run at
the Manhattan theater in New York. Re
garding the merits of the piece , too high
praise cannot bo bestowed. It Is n fantastic
and furiously funny French farcical frivol
ity , depicted by a comedy company of dis
tinction , The advance enlo of seats opens
Friday , and It IB safe to prophesy that stand
ing room will prove a feature of the en
gagement.

Money In the shape of taxes Is pouring
nto the city treasury at a rate uncqualcd
or many years. Several records In tax
mymentfl nnd collections have already bcca
> rokon and City Tieasurer Kdwards Is con-
Idcntly anticipating that the nil in total for
ho jear will bring something akin to
astonishment to Omaha's citizens.
"Tho era of prosperity Is upon ua here-
n Omaha , c > nlcs , pessimists and Uyrnnl'os
o the contrary , notwithstanding , " remarks
Treasurer 12d ards , "when Omaha's tax-
layers ore able to pay their current and do-
Inquciu taxes ns they nro doing so far
his year , It means that they hav.3 plenty
of jingling coin In their Jeans , for the
average cltlr.cn usually looks after bis tax
obligations last. "
The results of the month of April indicate
ho great willingness nnd ability dlcplajed
iy Omaha's property owners to pay tbelr
axes. The tax collections for the month
amounted to $30.232.56. This Is about
loublo the amount paid In during the tsaniu
nonth of four of the last flvo years , and
a much In excess of the other year , as 13
shown In the following : 18)0. ! ) $30,232.36 ;
1S9S , $16,071.37 ; 1SB7 , J23.354.07 ; 19S6. $18-
075.37 ; 1M)5 ) , $19,174.1" .
An analysis of the April collections of
his year shows more clearly the Increasing
ability of the people to pay their taxed.
Not only has n greater amount of the cur
rent tax been paid th.in in past years ths
ncrcaso in the payment of the ISliD tax Is
; 3,000 over the amount paid of the IS'JS ' tax.
n April of last year but a considerably
greater amount of delinquent taxes were
laid In. For example , $3,000 more of 1SHS
ax was paid last month than of the ISO"
tax In April of 1SOS , and $2,500 more of
1S07 tax was collected than of the 1890 tax
n April of last year , and a similar In
crease Is noticeable in the collection of do-
Inquent taxes of all other years. This
not only Indicates that people have more
ready cash on hand , but It also shows an
ncreascd activity In the real estate mar-
tct. Omaha property owners nro clearing
bark taxes from their lots In preparation for
realty deals.
April is by no means the exceptional
month of this year. All the months of 1S9D
liavo so far shown a very handsome In-
crcaso in tax collections and the total f > f
the four months Is over twice as much ns
for the first four months of 18flS. Tlio
following table shows that this Is a fact ,
the collections of each month of the two
> eara being given :
1S99. 1SDS.

February 28,700.11 18,911.82

April 36,232.56 16,671.37
Totalsi $ l 43isi4.Sl % 70,001.67
Comparisons with others years ore as sat
isfactory , If not more so. For exampla ,
the collections for the flrat four months ot
1S97 wore $81,881 and for the same period
In 1896 they were but $ C5C44.
These first four months of the year are
usually the poorest for tax receipts , as the
current levy does not bccomo duo until
May 1 and not delinquent until July 1.
The biggest months are May and Juno and
thenext _ Is July. If the same proportion
ate "increase holds good during the next
three months the total amount of tax col
lections for the year , In proportion to the
size of the levy , Is expected to surpass any
record in the history of the city.

EVIDENCE WAS ON HER BACK

in I'olli-o C'titirt In a Stolen
A defendant In a larceny case came very
near walking out of the pollco court yester
day afternoon with the evidence on her
back through the custom adopted by Judge
Gordon of letting women ot this character
go on their own recognizance. Sergeant
\Vhnlen was there with his nerve , however ,
and Insisted that the woman should not bo
released until Bho had taken off the dress
she had stolen , and which she then had on.
The court blushed nnd remarked that ho
had nothing to do with that , but ho preferred
that the disrobing should occur somewhere
else.
It was the case wherein Eva Gaunt Is
charged with stealing n dress skirt valued
at $30 from a closet whllo she was working
for Thomas Rlley. The skirt belonged to
Mrs. Rlley before her death , and was loft
by her to her little daughter. Miss Gaunt
got up one morning before the rest of the
household nnd disappeared with the skirt.
She was arrested on suspicion April 1C , but
the pollco were unable to locate the skirt ,
so she was released. Yesterday Mrs.
Catherine Bernadon , sister of Mr. Rlloy , saw
the woman on Sixteenth street with the
skirt on. Mutual discovery was made and
Miss Gaunt disappeared In the Paxton block ,
where she hoped to escape. Knowing that
the building had only one exit , Mrs. Berna
don wnlted for an officer. Presently one ap
peared nnd she told htm of the woman. Ho
entered the building and after searching
three-quarters of an hour , managed to find
Miss Gaunt and place her under arrest. She
refused to glvo up the skirt and even wore
It into the court room when she was ar
raigned

People around the government building are
having trouble with the sparrows. These
birds Insist upon nesting In the structure
and every tlmo that a door or window is
opened they fly in with loads of straw , which
they deposit In the corners nnd recesses.
Their latest assault is upon court room No.
1 , which Is to bo occupied by Judge Carland
upon his arrival. In this room there Is n
loose board In the celling and already the
sparrows have located it. They have filled
the space with leaves , straw and sticks ,
scattering the debris upon the Judge's bench
beneath.
