LonRltniltnul
The marked tendency toward the consoli
dation of great railway syitems which hai
been noticeable for the lost few years may
receive another decided acquisition In tha
near future , provided the contemplated ab
sorption of the Motion and Southern rail
way Is brought about. It looks now as
though such nn outcome will bo the result
of negotiations which have been known to
be under way for some time. As yet
there has been no comiolMnllon , nnd
n high official of the Southern la
quoted an saying that nothing definite
will bo done until President Samuel Spencer
returns from Europe early next month.
The consolidation of these two roads will
odd another Important factor In the field of
the three great systema now competing for
business between points /lorth , J nJ south ot
the Ohio. These three are the Louisville &
Nashville , Mobile & Ohio and the Illinois
Central.
There seems tout little doubt that Omaha
would profit by the consolidation of the
Southern nnd the Monon. The latter road
now extends from Loulsvlllo and Cincinnati ,
terminals of the Southern , to Chicago and
Detroit and connects at Indianapolis with
the Wabash. It would result In a merry
competition between the Illinois Central and
the Southern-Monon-Wnbash routes for
Omaha and ( Missouri river business and
thereby the advantage would bo derived.
If the Monon becomes a part of the South
ern there will naturally follow a readjust
ment of rates nnd of divisions by the Ohio
gateways. The lines north ot the Ohio have
long complained that they were shut out of
itho southern territory , but no satisfactory
readjustment of rates has ever been
reached. With the through lines running
from north to south , of course , there Is no
contention over a division from friendly
lines. And with the Southern controlling n
line running directly from Chicago , Omaha
and Detroit to the south there would surely
bo a shaking up which would bo a record
breaker. Until the past winter there was an
understanding between northern and south
ern roads not to run through trains across
( ho Ohio Into the territory ot other Tines.
Passengers had to change at Cincinnati ,
Nashville or Loulsvlllo. This agreement ,
liowavor , is rapidly losing Us effect and the
absorption ot the Monon by the Southern
would practically force the opposition to
through-car service to give way.
President Spencer's return from Europe
and his definite statement regarding this re
ported absorption will be awnltcd with con
siderable Interest by railroad men.
3trnlRlitenlnR the Movllle Ilrancu.
SIOUX CITY , July 25. ( Special. ) A corps
of Chicago & Northwestern engineers is sur
veying a Uno from Lake City to Sac City ,
with the reported Intention of finally , after
many years of talk nnd nothing more ,
straightening the Movllle line and extend
ing it to Sioux City. The surveyors are
approaching Sao City on almost a direct line
from Lake City , through Elm Grove town
ship , in Calhoun county , and Coon ralley ,
Cedar and Jackson townships In Sac county.
A line 'by ' this route Instead of by the
roundabout way of Wall Lake would make
a saving of twenty-four miles. Another
saving , perhaps of ten miles , may be made
inho cut-off between Corrcctlonvlllo and
Movllle , If the intention of the company
really Is to straighten the road wherever
possible.
From a reliable source It was learned in
Sioux City that the NorthWP | ' ' 'n engineer
in charge of the construction work of that
road now In progress in northwestern Iowa
bad received instructions to lese no time in
completing the Movllle survey to Sioux City
and that a purchasing agent of the com
pany had been tent Friday to buy right of
way between Movlllo nnd Sioux City. The
right of way agent Is reported to bo already
cpnductlng negotiations with owners of land.
When these cut-offa are made and the
Movlllo connection is built the Northwestern
will have n road to Chicago shorter by sev
eral miles than any other.

CHICAGO , July 25. It Is now certain that
the application of reduced basing rates on
eastbouml business from Alaska through the
Missouri river gateways will become general.
Announcement was made today by the Santa
Fo and the Missouri Pacific roads that they
bad authorized their connections to make a
$17.50 rate from North Pacific points to Chicago
cage via the Missouri river. As three roads
have so declared themselves it is but a ques
tion of hours until their action Is met by all
the roads competing for the business.

CELESTIAL AGAINST POLICE
Ilnnir Lee niochnrncil hr Jnilne Oor-
ilon to l.nnil In the Arm *
of n Detectlre.
When Hang Lee wa arrested a few days
npo on the complaint of his wife a charge
of vagrancy was slated against him. He
managed to get one or two continuances , but
V.&H finally forced to trial , On the witness
stand his wife testified that she had mar
ried him while drunk and did not know what
she wan doing. After the ceremony the Ce
lestial told her that In hla country when a
man married ho let his wlfo do the work ,
and ho proposed to llvo at her expense the
rest of his days. His wlfo bore her lot un
complainingly for three years nnd then In
formed the police that she wns tired of sup
porting htm. As the woman lives in the re
stricted district the police thought he came
under the law nnd charged him with va
grancy.
An officer testified on the stand that ho
had known Leo a long time , but had never
seen him work. Ho was satisfied from In
quiries ho had made that Lee lived off the
money given him by his wlfo.
Judge Gordon held that It was not a case
of vagrancy nnd discharged Leo. Ho inti
mated that ho had nothing to do with such
cases and ruled In substance that where two
persons living "down the lino" were married
ho would do nothing with the man when ho
was arrested.
This action of the court made the officers
n llttlo ( tore and they laid for Hani Lee. Ho
remained in the court room several hours
bcforo they caught him at the door. Ho was
escorted to a cell , which will bo known
henceforth an the Celestial's boudoir , as ho
is likely to inhabit It a few days.
EXCURSIONS OF RETAILERS
Country Mcrchniit * of NebrnmUa Are
Invited to Ouinlin on Condi
tional Free Fnren.
The Jobbers' nnd Manufacturers * associa
tion of Omaha has extended to the retailers
of Nebraska n cordial Invitation to visit this
city and Inspect the various lines of goods
carried here bcforo making their fall pur
chases. The association will pay the rail-
tray faro to Omaha and return , good from
Auguat 1 to November 1 , upon the following
conditions :
Fliat Providing 2 per cent of the retail
ers' purchases Is sufficient in amount to
cover the cost of their transportation both
ways.
Second That the retailer purchase a
ticket of his local railway ngent and at the
tlmo the ticket is purchased have the agent
fill out an attached certificate , attaching his
signature and official stamp. This Is Im
perative , as it Is absolutely necessary to
have this certificate In order that the asso
ciation mny make proper adjustment among
its members.
Third -That nfter making his purchases ,
the retailer shall present this certificate ,
properly filled out , nt the office of the Job
bers' nnd Manufacturers' association.
Fourth That the retailer present to the
office of the Jobbers' and Manufacturers'
association tickets from each house from
which ho has made his purchases , showing
the amount of such purchases. Each house
will he supplied with proper blanks for fur
nishing the retailer with these tickets.
It may happen that at the time the re-
taller Intends to visit this market tickets
will bo on sale at reduced rates. Whenever
it is possible to secure a ticket nt less than
tariff rates the retailer Is requceted to do so.
There Is a two-fold advantage in buying re
duced tickets to and from Omaha. First ,
the retailer will save the Jobbers' and Man
ufacturers' association the difference- be
tween regular and reduced rates ; second ,
the amount of the purchases in order to se
cure free transportation will not necessarily
be so large. J. E. Utt Is the secretary of
the Jobbers' and Manufacturers' association ,
to whom nil communications should be ad

WANT THE STREETS REPAIRED
Uncertainty "Whether Mcrcrr' * Or
dinance ! the Right Method to
Effect Knd or Not.
Officers of the largo express and hauling
companies and the liverymen of the city ore
undecided as yet whether to favor or oppose
the measure proposed by Councilman Mer
cer to tax all vehicles for the benefit of the
paving repair fund. But few of them have
given the matter any thought. Some are In
clined to think that they could afford to pay
for better streets , while others do not think
they would bo benefited to any great extent.
There is nn opinion among eomo of the liv
erymen that they should not 'be taxed to re
pair pavomenta which their vehicles do not
damage. The larger part of the vehicles
owned by liverymen are rubber-tired. The
liverymen say that It is the heavy traffic
teams which do the most damage to the
pavements , particularly at the present time ,
while n great mnny wagons are hauling pav
ing material. Almost every ono admits , bow-
ever , that the paved street * nil over the city
nro greatly in need of repairs and that some
way to make them should be found.
The wheelmen are interested in thin ordi
nance almost as much nt they were in the
lamp ordinance , though the individual ex
pense Involved la not quite so much. A
meeting of the general committee of wheel
men of the city will be held Wednesday
evening , at which the matter will be taken
up.

Iioned Temporarily ,
Secretary Utt of the Commercial club has
received a telegram from Acting Secretary of
War Melkfejohn statins that tha cessation
of work In repairing the old postofflce build
ing need occasion no alarm as it has b on de
cided that it ehall be used temporarily as a

gram of inquiry from Mr , Utt wanting to
know what tha action of the department
quartermaster meant In stopping the work.
An appropriation of $25,000 was made for
the repair of the building and workmen had
been engaged In carrying out the plans for
several weeks when the orders came. It was
feared that the order might have some bear
ing upon the future location of the head-
quartera of the department , but the assur

9 fJiiife Positively the easiest shoe , on
earth a shoe invented for men
with sore feet , corns , etc.
This particular style of foot
wear is known as Dr. Keed'S\ \
Cushion Shoe. The invention }
CUSHION SHOE , has for its prime object the pro
duction of a shoe to be worn by persons who suffer
from corns , bunions , ingrowing and club nails , tender
burning feet , enlargement of the metatarsel and meta-
carpel joints ; in fact , all ailments the feet are heir to.
People afflicted luith rheumatism or neuralgia will find
this the only shoe to keep their feet warm and dry.
A cushion of lambswool felt is placed 'upon the
interior of tJie sole , and covered and held in place by a
sock- sole which is secured by overseam stitches to the
narrow welt , making a perfect cushion in the bottom of\ \
the shoe.
The foot sinks into this cushion , and after one \
wearing the soft , pliable substance has conformed it
self to the sJiape of the foot. Thus it rests every toe
joint , relieves the pressure on any corn or bunion that
may have existed. The foot will thus soon cure itself.

allowed by the manufacturers to selt a few pairs
it $4 , in order to introduce them into Omaha properly. \
