NO DECREASE IN BUSINESS The Last Two Months Have Been Record- Breakers in Hallway Circles. FLATTERING PROSPECTS OF CONTINUANCE Jtlnllronil * Ilnrt- Sot n Rnriitn * of Cnr , lint .No ShortiiKC In Aiillclpnteil MlftMotirl Pacific Itpcclvrn lie- port of KniiinN Corn Crop. Never before were the prospects for an un precedented movement of grain over the rail , roads In the middle west bettor than at the present time. The operating departments ot the various roads are reeking forward to a fall business which will tax their capacity , but no fear Is entertained that they will not bo able to cope with the demands which will bo made upon them. Business * has been booming already. An official ot the Union Pa cific said a few days ago : "It Is true that the business In our freight department has been something enormous , but wo manage to keep enough cars going to handle- our freight , although It has been a heavy strain because ot the big grain ship ments In Nebraska. A great deal ot this grain has been stored In elevators and this tends greatly to relieve the demands for cars. Wo will get this grain out of the way about the tlmo the heavy corn crop In this state Is ready for shipment. The marked Increase In business , however , Is noticeable In other than grain shipments. There has been a big general business , which Is continuing In a gratifying manner. " This year the months of Juno and July wore record-breakers with all of the weot- ern roads , and traffic , Instead of decreasing at the time of year when It IB gener ally expected to fall off , has Increased to a perceptible extent. It has been estimated that the grain traffic , which Is from 10 to 21 per cent of the total business of the various western lines , has called Into service over GO.OOO cars. No other line of traffic Is more satisfactory to railroad men than grain ship ments , which are handled in carload lots , and , although carried at a low rate , bring In , nevertheless , n splendid revenue. The Idea has generally prevailed that there has been and will be a shortage of cars , but this Is untrue. None ot the railroads have a sur I plus of cars , but they have 'been ' able so far to meet all demands and expect to continue to do so. The principal weotern lines are receiving new cars right along and ore pro viding for the fall shipments by permitting none of their rolling stock to go east of the Missouri river , reserving all that they pos sibly can for western business. Speaking of the business of the past month all the railroad officials in the weat agree that It was the largest ot any July on record and anticipate that the business for August will also reach a high-water mark. A western official Is quoted as say- lug : "We were all fixed thirty days earlier than usual for the heavy traffic to start In about the usual time , but much to our sur prise It started In thirty days ahead of our calculations and has kept up , with no Indi cations of nn abatement. " Reports of the corn crop In Nebraska have been cornlne Into local headquarters for some time past and all have been most en couraging , but the first exhaustive report of the situation In northern Kansas Vms just been received by 3. O. Phllllppl of the M's- sourl Pacific. J. P. Barrett , traveling freight ugcnt of that road , has looked carefully Into the conditions and has submitted R report. This shows that along the line of the Mis souri Pacific , which has n mileage of179 miles In northern Kansas , the corn Is In the pink of condition and an extraordinarily large crop Is expected. There was a stretch of about forty-seven miles where the corn was suffering some because of the lack of moisture , but a good rain Saturday night did a world ot good and Insures 75 per cent of a croo even In these affected portions. The corn belt which suffered somewhat from the hot weather extends from Glen Elder to Klrwln , from Downs to Alton , and between Lawrence and Juniata. All of the other sec tions In northern Kansas -will harvest a splendid yield. Calculations on the big crop are not Ill-timed now , because the rain Sat urday night , which ranged from one to three Inches , placed all of the corn out of danger from dry weather and hot winds. RECOMMENDS KVEIIY CONCESSION. Union Pnciflc AtlvlNCM with Southern Pitclllu Concerning ; Solillrrn. General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific said yesterday : "Wo are using our every Influence with the Southern Pacific railroad to glvo the returning Ne braska soldiers the best possible rates from San Francisco to Ogden , and I have taken the matter up with Thomas H. Goodman , general passenger agent at San Francisco , with the recommendation that the best ho can do will bo none too good. "It Is Impossible for the Union Pacific to take the Initiative In quoting rates for the returning soldiers , as the business originates In a territory wholly out of our Jurisdiction and were we to go Into San Francisco and attempt to get alt of this business It would bo entirely out of harmony with our policy , and would pave the way for a passenger war which would bo of disastrous consequences. " From the statement of Mr. Lomax that the Union Pacific has recommended the Southern Pacific to extend every possible courtesy and concession to the returning soldier boys over its line from San Fran cisco to Ogden , it la reasonable to believe that the Union Pacific will grant a most favorable rate over Its route to Nebraska. In this respect both the Union Pacific and the Burlington will join In providing satis factory rates for Nebraska's returning he roes. roes.Mr. Mr. Lomax has Just returned from Chicago , where ho had been In attendance upon a meeting ot railroad officials for the purpose of considering the restoration of rates , the mileage book question am ] other matters ot importance. Ho stated that everything had been satisfactorily fixed up with the excep tion of the mllcago book problem , which Is Btlll under advisement and the proper solu tion docs not yet appear.

COULD NOT LOSE HER WHEEL AVoiniiu AppIlcN for County Aid , but IlufuHCN to Pledge Her Ill- cycle for FullllH. Clerk Hoorncr of the Board of County Commissioners has just encountered one of the most peculiar cases of allcced destitu tion that has turned up this year. Ills long experience as a sort of hopper Into which the tales of mendicants are poured has pre pared him for almost anything , but when a well-dressed woman with a cold watch and a high-grade bicycle coolly demands assist ance In preference to hypothecating these luxuries It furnishes him with a novel ex perience. The woman In this case dropped Into the board rooms and asked Mr. Hoerner for transportation to Wood Lake , Neb. Her story was that she started from New. York to visit relatives at Wood Lake and lost her pocketbook on the train. She bad a ticket to Toledo and enough small change wrapped In her handkerchief to carry her on to Kala- inazoo. She said that Kalamazoo authori ties sent her on to Chicago , and that the Cook county officials furnished her with a ticket to Omaha. Observing that she carried a very fair watch Mr. Hoerner suggested that she could easily raise the money to get to Wood Lake by pledging the article , but she declared that she did not propose to part with her property. She admitted that she bad a wheel , also , but said that she would rather hypothecate her clothes than to run a risk of losing that. She was assured that in , that case the county could not do anything for her , and then she went out nnd suc ceeded In raisins enough money from some of the members ot the Omaha Women's club to buy a half-fare ticket. The commission ers also declined to make that good , and the applicant went out In huge disgust. LARGEST SUM SUBSCRIBED Union Pnciflc GlvcH $500 to the Fund for the IIend Firemen's FiimllleH.

DEMOCRATS DISLIKE TO THROW HOFELDT The ? ncclnrc lie In Eiitltlcil in Ilc- nnmlimtlcm nnil tlmt the PopM- llntn Mnut net OR the Track. That section of the populist party that pro tests against permitting ho affairs ot the party In Douglas county to bo controlled by the state house clement Is naturally elated at He victory at the county convention Sat urday. Behind the nomination of A. J. Williams for county commissioner from the Third district Is the history of the antago nism of certain members of the party against Frank Hlbbard , who IB the recog nized right bower of the administration In the country precincts of this county. Hlb bard drew n salary as oil Inspector for four years under Governor Holcomb , and his prof itable occupation was continued by Governor Poynter by means of an appointment as food Inspector. "It was purely a case of too much Hlb bard , " say some of the country delegates who assisted most vigorously In his overthrow. "Thoso people down at Lincoln seem to have got the Idea that Hlbbard has us all In his vest pocket and this wan just a quiet demon , etratlon that this Is a mistake. " Hlbbard and Williams had each a delega tion In Union prcclact and Hlbbard won out by getting sixteen out of the twenty- four votes cast. But when ho got Into the convention ho bumped against an antago nistic majority that lost no time In throwing his delegation over the transom. The showIng - Ing was that ho had won out by using re publican votes and In order to avoid any ap pearance of unfairness the WIMIams delega tion was also thrown out. But Williams did not need that and ho was nominated Just the same. The next question is whether the demo crats will accept the populist nominee and turn down Peter Hofeldt , who Is now serving his first term as commissioner from the Third district. It Is pretty nearly the unan imous expression of local democrats that they will do no euch thing. They declare that Hofeldt is fairly entitled to a renom- Ination and that the pops must get off the track. They profess to believe that the pop ulists merely wanted to take a back-handed slap at Hlbbard by nominating WlHlams and. slnco their purpose has been served , they will finally consent to pull him off and lot Hofeldt have the place. On the other hand the men who nominated Williams assert that they put him on the ticket to stay and that the democrats must endorse him. They argue - guo that the present democratic majority in the Board of County Commissioners has failed absolutely to recognize the populists In the distribution of county patronage and they will accordlngtly Insist on having ono commissioner out of three of their own faith. ImllKimiit nt Poynter. The populists are also Indignant nt the way the appointees of Governor Poynter ex erted themselves In the county convention to ditch the party ami turn It over to the democrats. "I ' " can't understand , says a leading populist , "why Governor Poynter should bo so anxious to destroy our organ ization for the benefit of the democrats. Shortly after ho was elected ho assured uome populist representatives from Omaha that ho would use his office so far us It related to us to build up and strengthen a populist organization In Douglas county. Instead of doing this ho has thrown almost all his patronage to the democrats and the few populists ho bos favored hove all been forced to play the role ot assistant democrats. The governor himself seems to bo studiously Ignoring every request the populists of Douglas county make. Their endorsements of candidates for appointments have been turned down. When the populist committee asked htm to stop In Omaha on his way homo from the east to look Into the In justice done Mr. Deaver , ho Avent all around Omaha by way of Missouri Valley to nvold us. Ho was advertised to take part in the opening of the exposition , and we asked the privilege of an audience when ho should come , so ho canceled the engagement and stayed away , and ho has not been In the city since. I see , however , that he Is ex pected to attend the county Jacksonian picnic. It is anything to please the demo crats. " LIVELY NEIGHBORHOOD ROW Ilrlckn , n Monkey Wrench nnd a Flat Iron Are tlie Weapon * Used In the llnttle. The neighborhood of Thirteenth and Cali fornia streets moved up Into Justice Kln- kead'e court yesterday to assist In the trial of the case of Mrs. Sherman against Mrs. Corrlgan. The former wanted her ad versary bound over to keep the peace , The trouble started last Thursday , when the children of the two families got Into a llttlo name-calling tournament. According to the Sherman side of the controversy , Mrs. Corrlgan pave her son a monkey wrench and advised him to put hie trust not In words but In actions , suggesting at the same tlmo that ho smash one of Mrs. Sherman's little girls , for the u.ako of the peace and dignity ot the community. But the boy was de terred by the advance of Mrs. Sherman with a flat-iron , which witnesses who never got within twenty feet of it testified was hot. Mrs. Sherman admitted giving Mrs. Corrl gan the cheerful assurance that she would brain her It her daughter were harmed. The testimony conflicted as to what fol lowed. A llttlo crock like tbe ones they use to put baked beans In figured In some way , but whether Mrs. Corrlgan made a demonstration with It or simply took a drink out of It was not established. At any rate something led Mrs. Corrlgan to heave a few bricks through Mrs. Sherman's windows dews and the former's arrest followed. Just ice Klnkcad refused to ' "bind Mrs. Carrlgan over and dismissed the complaint. A counter complaint has been flled by Mrs. Corrlgan against Mrs. Sherman and the case will have to bo heard over again.

I.pwl * Sn > Ponltlrclr tlmt OUlorr Ituln. lined No Weapon Other Tlmn llln KIM. There nro no now developments of any Importance In the somewhat mysterious death ot James Smith at the hands of Po liceman I nil a. The physicians who made tha nutopsy have found no cnuso to change their opinion that death resulted from the wound on the nose and that the wound was made cither by an Instrument similar to an Italian stiletto or a bullet , The majority of the doctors believe that a bullet caused the fracture of the sphenoid bono and they explain the smallncss of the passage left by Its course by a shrinkage of the tissues. The police Incline to the belief that Smith was killed by falling against the wooden bench which stands In the hall where the scuffle between Officer Inda and his prisoner took place. The cut on the nose , they say , waa made by a nail protruding from an arm of the bench , and the four- Inch wound extending from the tip of the noao to the base of the brain , they account for by the statement the coroner's assistant must have made It In probing the cut. The theory of the police offers the most plausible explanation of the remarkable oc currence. The only eyewitness of the affair , T. W. Lewis , Is positive In the etatemcnt that the officer struck Smith with his hand and that a pistol was not fired. Hod a re volver been discharged the shot would have been heard by some of the many persons In the building and all arc positive that a shot waa not fired. The officer was thor oughly searched Immediately after the blow was struck and no weapon was found that could have made the wound to which the doctors say Smith's death Is probably due. The physicians arc ot the opinion that such a wound would cause death In nn hour or two at most and the police have traced Smith's movements during the three hours preceding his arrest , making It Impossibles for him to have been shot before being brought to'the station. Officer Inda , who la In the county Jail , de clines to make a statement , saylnc that whllo a description of the Incident at the station might not be harmful to his case , ho preferred not to talk until ho had con sulted his attorney. T. W. Lewis was released durlne the mornlnc on a bond. He said he had been drlnklnc and was not exactly clear as to what happened when the blow was struck , but he was able to give a narrative of events up to that time. "Perry Phllllns , Cooney Shannon , Jim and I had been drinking to gether In several saloons In the Third ward. The last ono we were In was Hamilton's , on Dodge street , between Ninth and Tenth. Smith had been told by bartenders In two drlnklnc places that ho was too noW. and I suppose that was the reason of his arrest. When wo left Hamilton's I walked ahead with Perry Phillips. Hearing ; Smith call , I looked around and he told mo that Officer Inda , who held his arm , had arrested him. I carried his hat. and when I handed It to him Inda said , 'I'll just take you , too. ' "On the way to the station I asked to go past my house to get another coat , as I did not feel well , and needed warmer cloth ing. Jim told , the officer I was not feeling well , but ho replied we would have to go straight to the jail. Nothing more was said until we got Inside. Then , when passing the hall leading out through the front door , Jim remarked : 'We might as well go this other way , ' and ho either pulled away from Inda , or attempted to , and Inda struck him. No weapon was used. I don't remember which hand the officer struck Smith with , because I didn't think the blow was serious , and paid no attention. I didn't see Smith after that , and didn't learn of his death until a few hours later.

Announcement ! ! . When an audience sits In a theater for some minutes after the curtain goes down I upon the last act , applauding for It to be raised again In order to allow the company to how Its acknowledgments , It Is a pretty sure sign that they arc more than pleased with the performance they have seen. As a usual thing the minute the curtain drops upon the last act of any performance there Is a rush to see who can get out of the theater first , but Sunday as wen Monday nights the audiences that witnessed the production - | duction of Auber's Immortal "Fra Diavolo" at the Trocadero theater , given by the now Block operatic company , remained In their seats and by their hearty applause compelled the curtain to be raised and the singers to bow their acknowledgment of the vast au diences' appreciation. Seldom If ever be fore , and It has been produced here many times by high-priced operatic companies , has a production of this well known opera so complete In detail and perfect In presenta tion been seen In any Omaha theater as that given by the Trocadero Opera company this week. It Is deserving and should re ceive the most liberal patronage from local theater-goers. --y n tP - - Buflinoton # f * - * -Roule e S3I.20--PHILADELPHIA H O a o AND RETURN o B September 1 , 2 nnd 3 via tbe Burlington Route.
