DIFFER IN OPINION OVER DIFFERENTIALS
The Ilnrllnitton Anncrtu Thnt It In In

Tlirco Cent * .
"Wo propone to maintain n differential ot
3 cent * an between Omaha and Kansas City
on packing houno products to the southeast , "
a\\A \ George H. Crosby , general freight
agent of the Burlington , yesterday. With
equal assurance the Kansas City , Fort
Hcott & Memphis railroad , terminating at
Kansas City , nnserta that It Intends to main-
tftln a differential of 6 cents. With those
combative- opinions , diametrically opposed ,
held by two of the great railroad systems
of the middle west , both bent upon carrying
Into Kuccensful operation their plans , ono of
the most nenBiitloual freight wars In many
yearn In now fairly launched.
Newspaper readers have become familiar
with the Incidents leading up to this war-
fnro during the past week or more. Several
days ago the Burlington , through Vlco
President Harris , announced that It would
lower the Omaha differential on packing
house productu consigned to the southwest
from 6 cents to 3 cents. No sooner was
this done Hum the prediction was freely
made In railroad circles that a bitter and
acrimonious freight rate war would follow ,
us the animus of the Memphis road on auch
n proposition has been repeatedly elated by
the officers of that road. They Insisted that
the differential from Omaha nhould bo 6
cents higher than from Knnsac City. Shortly
after the announcement of the Burlington's
Intention there was a calm In freight circles
which was generally presumed to be the
calm before the storm , as It was almost
an absolute certainty that the Memphis road
would stand by KB previous declaration.
Borne railroad men thought that per
haps the Burlington road had been able
to make a truce with the Memphis line by
which It would consent to the reduction.
This proved erroneous , however , when the
announcement was made Saturday that the
Memphis line had reduced Its rate from
Kansas City to southeastern points 3 cents ,
thus meeting the reduction of the Burling
ton and leaving the differential from Omaha
6 cents higher , as It was originally. Then
followed the Burlington with another re
duction ot 3 cents , and today advices have
been received from Kansas City stating that
the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis has
also made a further reduction of 3 cents ,
both becoming operative September 5.
Following out the declaration of General
Freight Agent Crosby the Burlington will
announce still another 3-cent reduction.
Consequently , Instead of the rate on pack
ing house products for southeastern points
being 31 centi from Omaha , as It was prior
to September 1 , It has now been lowered to
22 cents , whllo so far as announced the rate
from Kansas City to the same territory Is
now 19 cents instead of 25 cents as hereto
fore. How long the rates will continue at
this point Is problematical. . Probably not
longer than twenty-four hours , as the Mem
phis line will doubtless make a third re
duction and bring Its rate down to 16 cents.
The length to which this difficulty will
proceed IB hard to predict. Both the Bur
lington and Memphis lines nro aggressive ,
strong and possessed of limitless "scrappy"
proclivities. They are so evenly matched In' '
their otrongth that It Is not a question of ,
which con last the longest. The Burlington
is handicapped to a certain extent In that it
has Its own line only BO far as East St.
JjO\i\s \ , whllo Its competitor goes clear to
Memphis. If the Memphis road stands by
Ho proposition t hold Its rate from Kansas
City 0 cents lower than from Omaha , It mat
ters not how far down the scale the rates
may tumble it will glvo Omaha no advantage
over the differential rate In effect prior to
September 1. P'tt If the Burlington , in
standing by the Interests of Omaha packers
oven to the extent of sacrificing Itself , wins
out in the 'struggle the benefit to Omaha
packing houses will bo marked. The out
come of the contest will bo watched with
greater Interest than has been given any
railroad controversy In many years.
The MIssnuil Pacific's attitude In the matter -
tor Is not clearly defined as yet , although lt
Is believed that It will stand by the Bur |
lington In whatever action It may take. This
belief Is founded on the fact that the an
nouncement of the first reduction made by
the Burlington was followed by n similar
statement from the Missouri Pacific. Local
officials of this road uny that this last reduc
tion will bo promptly met.

BALTJMOnK. Sept. 4. President John
S. Wilson of the Baltimore , Chesapeake &
Atlantic railroad has confirmed the reported
purchase of a controlling Interest In that
road by the Pennsylvania railroad , which ,
together with Its valuable properties of rail
and steamboat lints , become Immediately
part of the Pennsylvania system. Informa
tion of the sale came from Wilmington ,
Del. , where , through a banking house of
that city , on Thursday last , the deal was
consummated.

The club room furnluhlngs of the Antlers

put two men In charge of the premises.
The proprietor of the building then sued
nut an attachment , which was served by
Constable Hardy , who ordered the other two
custodians out , and put a padlock on the
door. When llonscl heard of this ho went

READY FOR SCHOOL OPENING

Teachers In the city school B to the number
of almost four hundred met in the assembly
rooms In the city hall yesterday to hear
announcements and gather Information con
cerning the opening ot the schools this
morning , Superintendent Pearee gave his
usual talk , full ot hopeful suggestions to
the now teachers and of creeling and en
couragement to the old. The teachers were
told ot the changes made during the summer
In 'the ' courses of study , text books and dis
trict boundary lined , and announcements
were made 01 tha principals' and other
meetings.
Principal Walerhoimo mot the teachers
of the High school In the afternoon at 4
o'clock In the High school building and held
an Informal conference with thorn on the |
opening of work for the year. Every prep
aration for the rosumbtlon ot work In the
High school baa been made and It Is ex
pected that everything will bo running
smoothly at an early date.
Supcrintendenl Pcnrao reauesta the pa
trons ot the Cosa and Dodge schools to remember -
member that their children will be sent to
day to the building at the corner of
Eleventh and Harnoy , formerly occupied by
the Omaha School Supply company , and
known as the Gate Clly Hat company's
building. The board recreta that so many
of the children must be sent a considerable
distance out of their way , but the building
chosen waa the best , In point of healthfulness -
ness , that could bo secured. It will not be
used after the middle of November , 'when
the now bulldlncs. or at least ono of them ,
will be ready for use.
BIG DAY AT THE CIRCUS
IllnKlliiK Bros. ' Mammoth Thrce-ninsr
Show IJraw < jvn Iratncnnc
Crowd.
The slroet parade of Rlngllng Bros. ' circus
Is one of the features of the _ show , and at
tracted thousands of people d'own town dur
ing yesterday forenoon.
At 2 o'clock the circus performance be
gan. The program was Inaugurated by a
grand entry representing In kaleidoscopic
scenes a succession of patriotic pictures
showing vividly the history that has been
made In the past year and a half.
Following the spectacular opening the cir
cus proper began. It Is given In three rings
upon elevated stages and In the aerial
spaces about these and the hippodrome
track. The RlnKllnCS have more than the
usual displays of high-air ventures. The
program throughout Is replete with novelties.
Both In the number and the quality of the
acts It eclipses and outclasses all past efforts
In nrenlo entertainment.
Lockhart'e elephants are , among the
slrlklng features and these are sup
plemented by a dozen more pachy
derms who play big brass horns , have fisllc
encounlers , and In general porlray the vices
nnd follies of mankind. O'Brien's slxty-onc-
horse act Iz one of the big hits. Fully
twenty-five or thirty clowns keep the audi
ence good naturcd , while the rings and
stages fairly "smoke" with circus fun. Miss
Tumour , the great European trapezlst , the
Da Coma family of acrobats , Albert Crandall -
dall with his funny mule , "Thunderbolt , "
and Miss Castello In her marvelous exploits
In high school riding each won the admlra-
Uon of the audience for their several novel
ties. None of the above acts had ever
been seen hero before and the spectacle of
so many novelties as these and others
routed and put to flight the old saying
about all circuses being alike. At the per
formance last evening there was an Immense
attendance.
FALLS INTO ELEVATOR SHAFT
Slx-Venr-Oia Girl Make * n Rapid
I ) r nro nt front One Floor to An
other AVltliout Injury.
The 6-year-old daughter of William New
man of 2209 North Twenty-flfth elreet fell
down the elevator shaft of the People's Fur
niture nnd Carpet company's store yesterday
from the first floor to the basement.
Aside from tbo shock and tbo fright the lit
tle girl suffered no Injuries. Dr. Sparling
was called by the management ot the store
and on examination found that ehe had not
pven received any noticeable bruises.
Miss Lou Clayton , who was with Mrs.
Newman and the girl when the accident oc
curred , was so frightened nt what sht > sup
posed would bo a serious It not a falal acci
dent , that she fainted. She quickly recov
ered , however , and was sent to her homo In
a carriage.
As near as con bo Ascertained the little
girl was about to follow her mother into
the elevator car when the conductor said
the car was full , started to shut the door
raid put the car In motion , A largo woman
made a rush to enter the car And , brushing
past the girl , the hitter loosened her hold on
her mother's hand. The little one , looking
upwards towards her mother , did not see the
opening made by the ascending floor of the
car end was either pushed Into 11 or slopped
forward.

PRIMARIES WILL BE LIVELY
Big Pield of Starter * Infuses Ginger in tha
Republican Handicap.
HOT CONTEST IN NEARLY EVERY WARD
Sentiment Inillcntrn Thnt Sonic of the
Wenk Ciitidlilntcn Will lie IJIn-
tnticctl nt the Flrnt
Cliinrtcr.
The time for filing lists of delegates to bo
voted on at the republican primaries Friday
will expire at noon today. At that hour
all delegations must bo filed with J. A.
Tucker , secretory of the county central com-
mtllcc. at his onice , 1712 Fnrnam , Dec build
ing. The Indications are that there will be
two or more contesting delegations In nearly
every word In the city.
This situation Is the unavoidable result
of the exceptionally big field of candidates
.who find It Impossible to bo satisfactorily
represented by single delegations. Contests
are assured In all wards except the Third
and Fourth , and In these there Is still a
possibility that double delegations may be
In the field. This predicates the llvclleit
primary contest of the year.
The regular delegation In the First ward
Is unreservedly pledged to the candidacy of
Charles S. Blgutter for county Judge , and ,
until recently , it was supposed that this
would be the only delegation In the field.
During the lost few days , however , outside
candidates have been at work fixing up a
ticket , and It now appears that there will
bo a contesting delegation that will repre
sent B. F. Thomas for county Judge and
Charles Unlit for sheriff and Albyn Frank
for clerk of the district court. The Indi
cations are that the regular delegation will
bo elected by an overwhelming majority.
The fact that Thomas Is tied up with Frank
In the First ward , while opposing him In
the Seventh , la regarded with suspicion. I
|
There lias been a delegation selected In
the Second ward that will represent Swanson -
son for coroner , Bureau for clerk of the i
district court and Anthes for treasurer.
Fred Brunlng will probably put up a contesting - j
testing delegation that will be for him for
treasurer and Thomas for county Judge.
The opposition to the regular Burmester
delegation In the Third ward Is confined
to a few Individuals who have been Inspired ,
to put up a ticket moro with the purpose
of keeping Burmester busy nt homo than In |
any expectation of beating him out. They
Insist that they will put a ticket In the
field , but It will cut very little figure at
the polls.
The Fourth ward delegation Is primarily
for D. M. Havcrlyfor rcnom'lnatlon for
county clerk , but there Is a complication on i
account of the rival candidacies of D. M.
'
Vlnsonhaler and W. A. Foster for county
judge. It Is Intimated that one of these
candidates may decide to pull nut , and , In i ,
that case , there will bo no opposing dele- i
gallon. I
' A fight In the Flflh Is a certainty and , | '
Judging by the enthusiasm and numbers of
Ihose who nro opposed to permitting W. A.
Saunders to carry the ward In his vest
pocket , It will bo a fast scrimmage with
Iho chances In favor of elecllng Ihe antl-
Saunders delegation. Sounders' friends have
gone on the theory that they would have
everything their own way , but the formid
able opposition that has developed has
driven them to a desperate hustle to hold
their ground. The opposing delegation Is
unpledged and has the support of the better
clement ot the ward. i
I
The caucus delegation In the Sixth Is for
Barlght for clerk of the court , with Inci
dental eupport for Fink for treasurer and
Wolcotl for county Judge. As chief backer
of Albyn Frank , Jim Wlnspear has an
nounced his Intention to put In a Frank
delegation and run It on an anti-Rose-
water platform. Henry Ostrom and W. H.
Elbourne , bolh candldales for counly com
missioner , will not put In delegations. They
bavo agreed to have their names added to
the primary tickets with the understanding
that the ono who receives the endorsement
of the ward will have the support of the
delegation.
Sentiment In the Seventh ward points to
the conclusion that Albyn Frank will be
turned down by a decisive vote. It Is the
general understanding that there will be two
delegations , one for Frank for cferk of tht
court and the olher for B. F. Thomas for
county Judge. Frank's strength has waned
rapidly during the lost two weeks and his
defeat Is conceded even by many of his per
sonal supporters.
The Eighth ward will also file two dele
gations and the contest will be principally
to decide whether Coroner Swanson or H.
t > . Burkct will have the support ot the
ward for coroner. Burket has allied him
self with Charley Podcrson , who Is a candi
date for sheriff ) but It Is well understood
that the fight Is really between Burkct anJ
Swanson.
The Ninth ward Is somewhat In the situ-
atlon ot the old woman In the shoe , for It
has enough candidates to put up a ticket
of tin own. Two primary delegations nro
assured Ono will represent Ihe candidacies
of Fred S Bryant for county treasurer and
W. H. Rufuell lor cterk of the court , whllo
the other will stand for Charley Unlit and
Henry C. Akin. The ward Is conceded to
McGllton M candidate for regent of the
State university
The Irauo of the recent judicial conventions
has left the local fuslonlsts In a stale of
chaollc uncertainty In which they hardly
know which way to look for relief. There
are Indefinite stalcmenls that the Judicial
committees will got together and fix the mat
ter up In some shape , but the Indications
are that , when they start on this , the com-
mlttceo will discover that they have a Job
on their hands thai cannel bo finished before
Chrlslmns. The silver republicans declare
that they will stand pat on Carr and Scott
and the democrats assert as positively that
they will endorse neither of ihem. A Ire-
mendous pressure Is being broughl to bear
on the populists to Induce them to throw
j Carr over the breastworks and endorse Carl
Wright , but so far without encouragement.
Wright Is said to bo ready lo wllhdraw In
order partially to heal the breach , but his
friends Insist lhat If ho Is forced off the
llckel what remains wll bo slaughtered In
every precinct In the district. Altogether It
Is a. very prelty mess of politics and It has
already given birth to recriminations likely
to make the fusion county conventions a
spectacle that will rival the recent sporting
carnival at Dubuque.
| In the lively contesls that are being waged
for places higher on Ihe ticket republicans
have not had lime lo pay much attention lo
Ihe candidates for county superlnlendcnts of
1 schools , who are already becoming numerous.
The present superintendent , E. J. Bodwell ,
la a candidate for third term re-election , but
ho has a number of strong competllors from
the country precincts. Among the most
active of those Is W. A. Saua - of Olnn'-rt.
Superintendent Cummins of the Waterloo
schools and J. A. Kernln of Benson.
A prominent Swedish-American resents the
slntement that A. J. Anderson la getting the
Swedish voters In line for Charley Pederson.
He says that Pedersen Is a Dane and not a
Swede , ns Anderson Is trying lo make the
voters believe , and that Anderson la not
carrying the Swedish vote around this year. I
He asserts that nine-tenths of Iho Swedish
volers are for Burraesler and that Ihcy will
vote that way next Friday.
The nomination of Lyslo I. Abbott on the
democratic judicial ticket Is said to bo a
sop to the gold democrats , whose votes are
sadly missed by their one-tlmo colleagues.
Abbolt has been a gold democrat ever since
the party split on the free silver snag , but
It has been decided to overlook this small
dereliction In the hope that his candidacy' '
may lead some of the Influential democra *
who refused to swallow the Chicago plat
form to relura lo their old affiliations.
