I been entered into between hie company i > nd
, the Illinois Central railway hereby the lat.
j ter will unc the Terminal company' * bridge
and Its freight depot * In Omaha and Coun-
' ell Bluff * . Thin announcement r.omo a * a
result of the conference held between Mr.
I Webster and Second Vice President Harahan
1 i of the Illinois Central , who wag In the city
j last week , At that time Mr. Haraban care-
j fully hiBpecled the facilities of the Terminal
company for thn handling of. the freight busi
ness of the Illinois Central , and the Im
pression was to ( satisfactory that the ron-
tract was immediately agreed upon
"The contract with Ihe Illinois Central , "
Mr. Webster elates , "Is In a sense merely a
temporary one. No time limit Is specified
beyond the privilege en the part of the 1111-
nols Central to terminate lt contract by giv
ing thirty days' notice of such Intention.
In a measure this contract Mao due to our
fortunate situation. We have our bridge
and empty freight depots In both Council
UluffB and Omaha conveniently located , and
thu Illinois Central at present has no facili
ties for caring for Its freight patronage.
Our Omaha freight depot Is at Eleventh and
Chicago and our Counrll lllufla depot Is lo
cated on the corner of Ninth and Broadway.
"Tho contract with the Illinois Central
applies only to freight business. I under
stand that the Illinois Central will begin
using thu bridge and depots on Monday , the
18th Inst. "
The fact that the Illinois Central nan en
tered into a contract with the terminal
company for tha use of Us bridge and
freight houses for freight purposes only in
dicates that its pabsenger trains will enter
Omaha from Council Bluffs over the Union
Pacific bridge , and that the union elation
will be used by 11 for passenger purposes.
The temporary character of the contract be
tween tun Illinois Central and the terminal
company is a matter of interest to railroad
men , and is construed to mean that the
freight depots of the terminal company will
only bo used until similar structures may be
built In both cities by the new road. It
owns valuable property in Omaha on Seven
teenth street and the intefeectlon of the
Union Pacific tracks and the belief Is general
that a commodious freight depot will be
erected there In due course of time.

California I'IINHUIIUIT .Situation.
Olllclals of the pasEcngcr departments of
the Hock Island and Ilurllngton and their
western connections at Denver and beyond
the Denver & Itlo Grande and tbo Rio
Grande Western are awaiting with Interest
the conference of the transcontinental linen to
he held in Chicago on December 19 to con
sider the California passenger situation.
The call was Jointly made by the Santa Fc
and the Southern Pacific and for this reason
great slgnlflcanco is attached to the forth
coming meeting.
Whatever may bo the Intentions of other
passenger officials , It Is conceded that the
Santa Fo nnd Southern Pacific have entered
Into a compact of Homo nature whereby they
nro and will continue to tic enabled to abso
lutely dlctatn all mattcrH pertaining to
traffic Into and out of California. The
present condition of passenger affairs In
California Is known to bo unsatisfactory to
roads entering Into competition for business
ucioro u rcacncs ino nania i-o anu southern
Pacific , but the position of these two roads
Is one that gives them a complete monopoly
and whatever stand they may toke Is likely
to bo an Inflexible one. Their united action
will prevent < i successful rnto war even
though the other linen should decide upon
such a measure.

The Hoard of Directors of the Young Men's
Christian association met laat night In a
business meeting in the parlors of the as
sociation. The reports from the various
committees showed the asioclatlon to be
In a very flattering condition. The educa
tional and gymnasium classes showed a re
markable increase over any month of this
year. While the City's educational night
classes havu taken a number of boys and
youths from the association classes there
has been more than a proportionate : Increase
In the number of older men In attendance.
The report of the financial committee shows
the receipts for November to bo $1,346.91 ,
while the expenses for the same time amount
to only I1.02S.13. The receipts for the period.
May to November Inclusive , are t4.S04.CO
and the expenses for the same time amount
to J5G7G.24. The lunch room committee re
ported that they had leased * the lunch room
to a restaurant man for a year. This will
not affect the " 5 per cent discount from
the regular rate ? always offered to the hold
ers of association tickets.
The gymnasium report showed that there
were over 109 classes In attendance dur
ing the month , making the total membership
over 2,200. This Is over 1,000 larger than
during the month of November , 1S9S. The
lecture commlttco reported that they had
etoppcd tbo sale of course tlcketH for fear
they were overtaxing the capacity of the
opera house. The sale of seatfi for the next
entertainment will open December 26.

"Queer People That I Have Seen" was the
subject of a somewhat humorous and de
cidedly entcrtainiiii ; lecture delivered by
Ilev. Hatch at Plymouth Congregational
church la t night , The speaker declared
that when one travels away from Omaha
queer people are wet all along the road.
Ho took up some tlmo describing fashions
that haviS been adopted by both men and
women of lha past.and convulsed hia audi
ence with laugher ; as ho portrayed the
Qrcclan bend and- , the flowing tileevcs worn
by women not long ago.
The bicycle face was spoken of as the
property belonging to other queer people
and something that In occasionally HCCM upon
the streets of this city. He insisted that
whllo Americans have good sense In most
things they will go wild over fashions Im
ported from Paris and will wear these for
eign garments , no matter how ridiculous
hey may appear. Some day , he- bald , he
iopi s to see the women of this country
adopt the costumes of the Greeks a flowing
robe , held In place by pins nnd strings.
After discussing the dress question for some
Imc the pcaker took up the matter of
eating and urged that In the cooking , both
at homo and In tbo hotel , there Is alto
gether too much frying pan , nnd that the
manner of preparing food Is constantly
ruining stomachs. Americans as a rule , he
aid , do not tnko enough time to cat.
