12 THE OMAIIA DAILT BBEsWEDNESDAY , ATJGrTJST 2 , 1809. RE-ESTABLISH EXPORT RATES EuUrn Lines Oomo to nn Understanding and Hays Stopped Warring , RAISE IS FELT BY THE OMAHA PACKERS Kfvr Srltnliilo Awrrnl tTpon AfTertu Onlr SlillunrnlH of I2 | iort 1'nek- IlniiNi * I'rnilm't * mill I * n 1'roiioiiiiccililMinoc. . An important announcement has been made by the lines cast of the Mississippi river regarding the handling of export packIng - Ing house products. It Is that the old rate lor carrying through freight of this charac ter has been re-established , the agreement liavlng been entered Into by all of the com peting lines , and hereafter the rate from East St. Louis and other Mississippi river points to Now York will bo 28 cents , as for merly , to which rate will bo added the steamship rate per 100 to the point of disembarkation. This means that the eastern through lines have como together nnd decided , for the present at least , to take an even chance at the business and hold rates firm. While It may bo the sensible thing for the railroads to do , and all railroad men agrco that It Is , the packing house Interests nro not at all pleased with the changed situation. For eorno tlmo the lines cast of the Mississippi have been waging a kcon warfare and , of course , the packers Vicro the gainers , as they were shlppplng export stuff as low ns 0 nnd 21 cents per hundred , nnd now It means a rlso of 8 and 9 cents per hundred. Omaha railroad men are well pleased with the situation because it will have a tendency to oven up the shipments of export packing house products from this point cast. During the tlmo that the eastern freight war wns on operations were confined to the northern nnd southern crossings. At ono of the south ern crossings n. rate would bo announced and Omaha freight would acek the road lending to the southern point. Again , nt some north ern crossing of the Mississippi a rate , rower than the ono in the south , would bo an nounced and then the line having the north ern connection out of Omaha got the bus iness. In this way the freight business was extremely fluctuating and for that reason un- E.itlufactory. Under the new conditions Omaha lines operating between hero and the Mississippi will have an equal sway for the business. SIGMFICAAC13 OF STOCK MAIIKKT. Vnlup of Vnmlcrlillt S too UK WnrrniitH llcllrf In Humored CoiiMOllilntloii. Recent activity on the stock market of Northwestern and Chicago , St. Paul , Min neapolis & Omaha common and preferred stocks gives foundation to a renewal of the rumor that these two roads ere to be con solidated 'by ' the absorption of the Omaha by the Northwestern. There is n persist ency about the rumor which gives a decided tinge of authenticity to it. The fact that the Vandcrhllt interests control both roads lias for n long tlmo been the reason for belief in the Inevitable joining together of the two and the recent activity of stocks both Northwestern and Omaha lends endorse ment to the rumored union. In 189S common stock of the Omaha In creased from the lowest point In March 65 to the highest In December , a gain of 19 points. The preferred was 148 in January and reached 170 In November. During the fcame period Northwestern common rose from 113U In March to 143 < 4 in December nnd the preferred went from 163 In Janu ary to 19l > In November. During the llrst wlx months of this year Omaha common has Increased 18 % , rising from 9t In February to lODIn June nnd the preferredhas risen from 170 In January to 182 In Juno. In this same period the Northwestern common has gone from 142 In January to 160 % In Juno and the preferred from 183 In January to 198'/6 In June. This Increase In the value of stock Is con sidered of much significance. As Is well known the Northwestern practically con trols the Omaha and has done so elnco the organization of the latter system in the early part of 1880. Both companies are under the same executive head and the Northwestern owns a majority Interest In the Omaha. The report in circulation is that the parent road Is to exchange Its pruferred stock evenly for Omaha pre ferred and make a liberal offer for Omaha common. Vice President Clark of the Omaha Is quoted as denying the pending of nny such conoalldatlon , but still It Is In the air , as It has been for a long tlmo and the attending circumstances at this tlmo are such ns to warrant the belief thnt some thing of the kind is very likely to result. iAsii iITS HII.SI.VKSS. IliirlliiKtciii CoiuiillcN lt < * | iort for FU- enl Vcur nmlliiu ; with June- ill ) . The Burlington system has Just completed the compllntlon of its report for the past fiscal year , ending Juno 30 , nnd It shows a healthy increase in net earnings , and nlso furnishes an interesting point In the allowing that the month of Juno was the host In the whole year. The report shows that the gross earnings amounted to $43,389- 424.69 , an Increase of $589,262.36 over gross earnings during the preceding fiscal year , ending June 30 , 1898. Operating expenses during the period covered by the- report were $26,545,630.51 , an Increase of $273- 412.09. The net oirnlngs amounted to $6,478- 794.18 , an Increase of $396,001.15. The freight earnings during the past year were con siderably below the earnings In this depart ment for the previous year , but this decrease was moro than offset by the heavy Increase in passenger earnings. Freight earnings were $29,270,941.81 , and the year before the earnings were $30,513,639.88 , which shows n decrease of $1,272,698.07. The passenger earnings wore $9,469.018.37 , an Increase of $1,315,976.20. Thug the grand total Increase of earnings in those two departments over the fiscal year ending June 30 , 1898 , was $43,278.13. Earnings In the mall and mis cellaneous departments amounted to $4,649- 464.51 , an Increase of $539,262.36. Total ex penses and charges amounted to $36,910- 030.51 , nn increase of $493,261.21. But the ofllclnls are most pleased with the showing for the month of June , as It fur nishes a basis for them to figure thnt busi ness for the ensuing year will bo much bet tor than It was during the fiscal year Just closed. The freight earnings In June were ? 2,641,224B1 , nn Increase of $430,117 over the corresponding month of 1898 , Passenger earnings v > cro $808,873.33 $ , an Increase of J74.666.34. The Increase in mull and mis cellaneous earnings was $44,062,67 , Gross earnings showed an Increase of $568,876,01 , 630.51 , an increase of $193,261.21. y Iliiutu Aiiiimuicf * Ilud-i , Assistant Pafuongcr Agent Bandy of the "Qulncy" route , who recently visited the ex position , was BO well pleased with the result of bin observations that , acting upon bis recommendation , the Omaha , Kansas City & Eastern railway the Qulncy route has an nounced a ono fare for the round trip on ac count of the Greater America Exposition be tween Omaha and Qulncy nnd Intermediate points. Harry Moore , the local agent of this line , states that oven so soon there has been 11 gratifying Increase In traffic to Omaha am the move. Is considered to bo a good ono , Ilt'itnrt of Crop * . Charles Illlxt , traveling representative of the Union Pacific land department , bag re turned to the city from en extended trip through the state and brings with him glow ing reports of the crop situation as he fount It on personal observation. Mr , Illlxt says "In my twenty-two years' experience in Ne braska , I never saw bolter prospects for a big corn crop. The acreage of outs Is also largo , the crop looks nuo and the yield promises to bo Immense , Wheat is of splen did quality , but the quantity I do not be lieve will bo M great as In former years , " SOMIJ INDICATION OF HHTAI.I ATION. Movement * of flrrnt Vorttirrn Kent n Plot AKfilimt Mllunnkecl President J. J. Hill nnd Chief engineer Stevens of the Great Northern road spent the creator part of last week In South Da kota nnd their movements In that section have given rise to considerable discussion and speculation on the part of railroad men , It will bo recalled that nn nnnounccmcnt was mndu a few days ago to the effect that a movement was on foot by the Chicago , Milwaukee ft St. Paul cither to build a line from St. Paul to Dtiluth or buy the St. Paul & Duluth road , In order to get n direct line , extending Its system to the head of the great lakes. If the Milwaukee takes this step , nnd there Is not a particle of doubt but that It is under serious advise ment , It would enter Into direct competition with the Great Northern for the business in eastern Minnesota north of St. Paul. It Is reported thnt the object of the visit of President Hill nnd Chief Engineer Slo vens Into South Dakota was for the pur pose of looking over the field preparalpry o doing some building In that region. In his way the Great Northern will retaliate f the Milwaukee Invndcs the Orent Northern errllory In easlcrn Minnesota the Great N'orthern will enter the Milwaukee's terrl- ory in South Dakota. In case the latter mention Is carried out the Milwaukee would bo sure to suffer the loss of consid erable of the business upon which It now ias absolute control. The Great Northern ms four different branches extending Into he eastern part of Soulh Dakota and nny or all of these could bo so extended ns to llvldo up the rich freight traffic In wheat hipping now exclusively enjoyed by the Mil waukee. With this new condition of affairs cx- stlng , will the Milwaukee persist In Its ntentlon lo extend Its line to Duluth ? The answer to this Is what Is furnishing food for discussion in the railway world nt this line. \I3W nOAD POSITIVELY ANNOUNCED. GrnilliiK to lie-in nt Once on I.lne Ile- tMeen Ymiktoii nml Norfolk. J. S. Meckllng of Chicago and W. W. Gra- mm of Norwalk , O. , who have been the iromotcrs of a proposed railroad from Yank- on , S. D. , to Norfolk , Nob. , and Iho erection of n bridge across the Missouri river at Yankton , have announced unreservedly that ; radlng for the now line will begin Septom- > er 1 , and tracklaylng will Immedlalely fol- ow. Mr. Meckllng Is quoted as saying : 'The construction of the bridge nnd rend will cost $1,800,000 , the nmount at which ho company has been capitalized. The ar rangements for the financing of the company vero completed months ago. " The promoters of the new road are now In Norfolk , where a meeting of the company will bo held for ho purpose of electing officers and attend- ng to other Important business. The completion of the new road will open ip for Omaha a splendid commercial field , which has hitherto been Inaccessible owing o poor railroad connections. With the fine acllltles existing between this city nnd Norfolk the Yankton road will provide means for transportation from Norfolk to ho terminus of the new road nnd inter mediate points. While this feeling of ela- lon exists on the part of Omaha commer cial men , a contrary condition Is prevalent n Sioux City , which bos heretofore been and is at the present time the trade center or the territory which will bo opened up or Omaha by means of the construction 0f ho Yankton , Norfolk & Southern railway. As an indication of the sentiment in Sioux City , A. W. Irwin , president of the Commer cial association in that city , is quoted as saying , in regard to the now road : "It will lurt us. There is no question about It. Pbo road will be a positive harm to Sioux City's Interests. A lot of traffic from a rich region in Nebraska and from a garden spot n South Dakota , which latter always has > een tributary to Sioux City , will be di verted to Omaha. " nii < 1 Hill Mnkc Up.

COLD WATER CUT THE KNOT Wellington's Mania for Hygienic Treatment Makes His Wife Tire of Matrimony , SEEKS DIVORCE ON GROUND OF CRUELTY DerlnrpK Mini Oni > Dnr I.n < AVInicr Her Iliinlinnil Ill-Id Ilrr In nil Ice Cold Itndi for Over Twenty Mlnutcfl , After nearly fifteen years of wedded life nn infusion of modern hygienic Ideas lias literally thrown cold water on the connu- lilal happiness of Nettle and William Wel lington. At least that Is what Mrs. Wel lington declares In a petition for divorce that she has filed In the district court. Ac cording to her story , William has become so absorbed with the cold water treatment as a cure for ailments , real and fancied , that ho Inslots on Indicting It on his family In homeopathic prescriptions and has carried his alleged" mania to such an extreme that Us wife can no longer llvo with him. She asserts that she has submitted to great discomfort for several years In the fulllo hope that her husband would get rid of Bomo of the wheels that now revolve In his cranium , but now oho gives It up na a useless trial and proposes to seek relief In a return to slnglo life. The petition states that the couple were married In Kansas City In 1885. They lived there for several years , until after their first baby died , and then moved to Joplln. Mo. There their1 troubles began. Wellington acquired the Idea that ho was afflicted with muscular rheumatism and he cultivated It to the extent that ho con sidered himself absolutely unable to do another stroke of work. It Is alleged that he was encouraged In this view by a woman phjslclan , who also Inculcated the idea that copious applications of cold water were the only medicines that would glvo him relief. Mrs. Wellington alleges that her husband's rheumatism was a mere figment of his Imagination , Inspired by the inter ested cfforta of the woman doctor. She declares that from this tlmo ho refused to contribute toward the support of tbo family and she earned a doubtful living by doing fancy work and some odd jobs of dress making. But oven then she bore with her husband's mental Infirmity and was willing to support him In idleness as long ns her strength continued. She induced him to move to Omaha , where eho had some rela tives who might help her to got more re munerative employment and prepared to be come reconciled to William's chronic indo lence. But more recently , sbo declares , William ceased to bo satisfied with dousing Mra- self In cold water a dozen tlmea a day , but Insisted that his wlfo and their little girl should undergo the same treatment. Mrs. Wellington alleges that she was al ways cleanly In her habits , but when it came to being Immersed In ice cold water halt a dozen times a day she decided that the play was becoming too strong. She declares that one day last winter her hus band held her in a cold bath for over twenty minutes until she was so chilled that she never fully recovered from the shock , and that in spite of her enfeebled condition ho persists 'in compelling her to undergo a similar shock at frequent Inter vals. She says that this treatment has un dermined her health and that unless she is given her liberty she will become a nervous Invalid. She asks for a divorce on the ground of cruelty and non-support , anil also demands the custody of their little girl. No Cull In In accordance with the resolution adopted by the bar at the Juno call of the county court there will bo no call In August. Judge Baxter will bo In the city and at chambers August 16 and 1C to hear motions and other routine matters.

John Flllp hns sworn out a warrant for the arrest of n considerable portion of the population In the vicinity of First street nnd Poppleton avenue. Ho says that the neigh bors there toro down his fcnco and Insist upon tramping through his yard. The neigh bors contend that Flllp has fenced up the street. Soon after the fence was erected a delegation of the residents visited Flllp and asked him to remove the obstruction as they were used to passing through that way and they still desired a short cut. Ho stood pnt and refused to accede to their demands. Then they laid forcible hands upon the fence nnd It wns soon as much a wreck as though It had pawcil through the teeth of a tornado. The owner of the property objected to the summary manner In which the fcnco wns removed , but It was of no avail. An In cipient riot wns nearly precipitated before the matter cnmo to a termination , nnd Mr. Flllp says that they threatened to end his career by shooting him If ho did not bo good.
