Tlic Missouri Baclflc passenger train that
arrived In' ' Omaha nt 7 a. m. yesterday was
held up by tKreo highwaymen a few minutes
after It left Kansas City Tuesday oven-
Ing. The robbers " "
"atood up" the passengers
In .the Pullman car. securing about $125 ,
some watches and Jewelry. They confined
their operations to the Pullman car , and
lifter searching the ttti or twelve passen
gers , ordered the train to be stopped , which
was done after some little delay , owing to
the mistake- the porter In pulling the nlr
cord'In n way that gave the wrong signal.
The robbers Jumped from the train when
It had slowed up. and easily escapee ! .
Among the passengers robbed was "Oils"
Klephflii of this city , who gives a graphic
description of the holdup. "Thu train
pulled out from Kansas City at :1B : In
charge of Conductor 'Cap' Wilson , who Im
mediately collected the fares , " said Mr.
Stephan. "When the train had been run
ning about ten minutes I went Into the
ninoklng roccn at the forward end of the
car and WHH lighting a cigar when 1 Haw u
big revolver pasn the crack of the smoking-
room door , which was partly open. The re
volver was pointed at the porter , who was
backing away from II. Next 1 saw the
man who was holding the gun. 1 sup
posed hi ? was having nomc trouble with the
porter , and as 1 was not looking for trou
ble I concluded not to Investigate an affair
In which I was not Interested. The man
with the gun kept punching the porter with
the weapon , and soon stepped Into the
smoking room , which contained ftv& passen
gers , Including myself.
Tlirro HlKlitvnymen.
" 'You follows get up and get out of hero , '
said the robber , for'such he proved to be.
He wore no mask. 'Every d d one of you
got out of here In a hurry ! ' was his second
order. Just then ho was Joined by two
masked men , each holding n revolver. Up to
this time we had not been 'told to throw up
our hands. 'Go down to the other end of
the car , ' said the leader.Vc promptly
obeyed the order. I began thinking of what
I had on me. I didn't have much money ,
but I had a diamond ring , which , with the
recent Increase In the value of diamonds , Is
worth over $500. I was now holding up
both hands , having been ordered to do so.
As I was wall.'lng down thenlslo , with my
back to the robbers , I stuck my finger In
my mouth and pulled off the ring with my
teeth and kept It In my mouth.
"I then felt a little easier and watched the
operations-of the holdups with Intense In
terest. 'Wo don't want anything from you , '
said ont of them to the- Pullman conductor.
\Ve don't want anything from you railroad
men.1 They then searched him to sec If he
had a revolver , but they found none on him
nr on any of the passengers. They crowded
the conductor , the porter and another
colored trainman Into a corner and then
systematically went through the pockets of
the passengers.
How Sloiilillii KII red.
"I was their second victim. The unmasked
man did the Searching act. Ho took my
pocketbook , containing about $15 In money
and , two certificates of deposit on the
Omaha"'Natlonal bank for $50 each. Ho also
appropriated my pockctknlfe and mj' bunch
of keys'and then rudely snatched my gold
watch and chain and pulled n small diamond
stud from my shirt. I didn't say a word
though , as It would have been difficult to
talk with the- ring hi my mouth. I did want
lo ask him to glvo back my keys , but didn't
dare to.
" 'Is that all. you have got1 asked the rob
ber.
ber."I
"I simply nodded my head affirmatively.
He felt my hands , evidently having seen
the Hash of the ring when ho entered the
smoklijg room. When he found no ring on
my hand ho seemed satisfied. Ho had prob
ably forgotten on whoso hand he had seen
thn Hash. I.fc-nvcd the ring , and feel satis
fied with my experience.
"All the other pasengers were treated In
about the same way. Two or three suc
ceeded In hiding their money and valuables.
One passenger dropped his niouey , amount
ing to $130 , inside his little boy's ehlrt nock-
band. Another man dropped a roll of bills
containing $25 on the lloor , but strange to
say , the money could not bo found after
the trouble was over , although no one had
been ficcn to stoop to pick It up.
"I was looking Jntcntry at the robber
with the big mask , and when ho noticed It
ho told me to turn around and look the
other way. I obeyed him. When they had
finished up tholr Job ono of them said :
'You am the damnedest poorest lot of men
1 over aw riding around the country In a
Pullman car. '
J
'J'riivcllnur Auditor I.onen n Ivcoimnlie.
"One of the passengers was E. W. Stewart
of Scdalla , Mo. , traveling auditor of the Mis
souri'Pacific. ' 1 am n railroad man , ' said
he , ' expecting that the robbers would lei
him off easy Ono of the robbers had Just
grabbed his gold watch. It was a keepsake
and thn auditor pleaded hard for it. 'No
railroad man travels around In f : Pullman
car , ' was the reply. The auditor later was
tent back from Lcavenworth on a special
traln'to assist In hunting up and Identifying
the robbers.
"Having concluded their business the robber -
bor proparsrt to leave the train. The porter
ter was ordered to pull the cord. Ho got

hold of the wrong roH. His mistake was
noticed and he was commanded to pull the
| air cord. In hl excitement ho pulled I *
three times , which Is the signal to ntop nt J
the- next stntlon , the signal to stop nt onte ]
being two pulls. The train kept moving ,
'You boys wntrh out ; we don't want to pass
our wagon. ' nald the unmasked leader to
hl companions. 'What the hell's the mat
ter with this train , anyhow ? ; he akcd when
he naw thnt It was not slowing up. 'What
are you trying to do to us , anyhow ? ' he
asked of the trainmen. He now pointed his
revolver at the porter nnd snld to him :
'You glvo the signal to slop this train or
I'll kill you. ' The porter again pulled the
bell cord three times Instead of twice. Wo
\\cre Just then , however , ncarlng n little
stntlon nnd the train began slowing up.
As the robbers backed out of the car the
lender said : 'Don't any of you fellows stick
your heads out of the windows , as wo don't
want to kill you for such a small amount of
money that wo got from you. ' They Jumped
off nnd disappeared. They didn't go Into
any other car. They got about $125 In
money nnd five or slx , watches and some
Jewelry. I hnvo stopped payment on my
two certificates of deposit.
"I r-ut these fellows down ns petty lar
ceny thieves ; nere amateurs. They took
ns many chances on this little holdup as
they would have done In attempting to rob
the express car , where they might have got
something for their trouble. "
KviiorloiiiM- Oilier 1'nnsoiiner * .
Among the other passengers on the Pull
man sleeper were H. T. Lemlst of the C.
B. H&vens company and J. P. English , bath
of thU city. The latter was relieved of nil
his valuables. Including $33 in money. Mr.
Lemlst was Just returning from a trip down
the road and had not much money with him ,
but suffered the loss of a handsome gold
watch valued nt $225 , also n $60 $ locket , a
$ . * > 0 chain and nn $1S charm.
"I was sitting In my seat reading when
I heard the commotion first In the forward
end of the car , " said Mr. Lcmlst. "I thought
that It wns some of the passengers , whom
I took to be commercial men , having n rol
licking time. I was convinced of my mis
take , however , when the leader of the trio
thrust a revolver In my face and told me to
'lino up' with the rest of the victims. For
tunately there were no women In the
car. The disappointment of the robbers In
not securing more booty was aonarcnt.
They cursed their luck and denounced the
passengers. It was unmistakably the work
of novices. The man without the mask went
through all of us while his two companions
kept guard u either end of the car. The
leader was frightened almost out of bis wits
and trembled an though suffering with the
ague as ho rifled our pockets. , I feared that
In his tremblings he might accidentally dis
charge his gun. The man wltjiout the-mask
was the only ono whom I got a good , square
look at. He was about five feet , eleven
Inches In height , spare and cadaverous. He
was consumptive in appearance , with hol
low cheeks. A thin , straggling mustache ,
turning in toward the corners of his mouth ,
and a stubby growth of beard covered his
face. His eyes were light blue In color , In
distinct , however , and wavering. It was a
mean eye and they were set close to a
prominent nose. This fellow was so rat
tled that his voice trembled BO be'could
hardly be understood. "
Andy Hanson of Omaha was another pas
senger on the train who had a berth In the
sleeper. Just after the train left Kansas
City , however , ho started forward to the
chair car and as he crossed the platform
leading from the sleeper he encountered the
three men fixing their masks. They did not
Interrupt him and ho proceeded to the chair
car. It was filled with women , and rather
than create an alarm he decided to say noth
ing , hoping that the robbers might be bested
before they should reach the chair car. His
watch bears a sharp dent whore It struck
when he flung It under a seat In the car.
"Cap" Wilson , the veteran Missouri Pacific
conductor , believes that the leader of the trio
boarded the train nt Kansas City , Mo. , and
stayed In the smokingcar , until after passing
Kansas CityKan. . At this place It Is be
lieved he was Joined by his two confederates.
EVENING DEVOTED TO MUSIC
Concert nt Yonnn Men' * Chrlntlnii AH-
Hoelatlnn 1'nder Direction of
ChnrloN
A sextette of young people gave a concert
Wednesday night In the auditorium of the
Young Men's Christian association that was
full of enthusiasm nnd a model of good taste.
Mr. Charles Hlgglns , an Omaha violinist
of unmistakable talent , was sponsor for
the program and It reflected credit on hh
good sense and his taste as a musician.
Every appointment of the program was well
arranged oven the encore habit which Is so
pronounced In Omaha being shorn of half
Its multiplicity , ns the performers rarely
appeared for a second number , and then
only at the most urgent and Intent uand-
clannlng.
The Interest In the concert centered about
Mr. Hlgglns , who appeared In two solos to
fine advantage. Ho played with ease and
grace , and added to his strong playing there
was a sense of reserve force backof him
that gave satisfaction to his audience. Mr.
Hlgglns has a line stage presence thnt lends
much to his performance. In his first ap
pearance ho gave an "Avo Maria" ( Schubcrt-
Wllhelm ) and a , Gypsy danro ( Sarasate ) .
His second numbers were "Meroorlcs , " a
little composition of his own , which he
played with great tenderness , much as a
father would pet his own child , and "Airs
Rusao Souvenir do Moscow" ( Wclnlswskl ) .
Ills encore to the first numbers was "Tho
Last Rose of Summer" nnd In the latter
Instance do Herlot's 7th concerto.
Slgmund I * ndsborg was at. the piano for
two numbers , the opening ones to the two
parts 'of the program. Although he was at
n disadvantage placed thus , he gave emi
nent satisfaction with Schubert's "Im-
" with variations In the first
promptu , , in
stance and an etude and two waltzcu by
Chopin In the second. His Playing was
marked with Intensity and warmth and ho
added greatly to the dignity of the con
cert.
cert.Miss
Miss Daisy Hlgglns sang "Tho Worldly
Hope Men Set Their Hearts Upon" ( Liza
Lehmann ) and "Whero Roses Gleam"
( MnEChoronl ) . Doth songs were dramatic
ally rendered by the young singer , whose
volco has a strange haunting quality never
theless most pleasing.
Oscar Gnrolssen labored under the diffi
culty of singing with a bad cold and was
not at his heat. Ills first number was "Even
ing Star" from Wagner's "Tannahauser" and
his last number "I'll Ilo n Soldier" ( Molloy ) ,
substituted for "A Song of Thanksgiving"
( Allltsen ) . "When Love is Done" ( Lyrics )
was given as an encore to the last song.
Francis Potter gave a pleasing variety to
tbo program with his mandolin so'o nnd
played that tinkling Instrument In such a
manner that It did not sound trivial this
fact being duo possibly to the excellent Judg
ment used In selecting the music. A cradle
song , "Slumber On" ( Atit ) . ami the pizza-
call "Sylvia" ( Dellbes ) were the pieces and
his encore was the dainty little "Felice"
tLango ) .
Karl > Smith , the youthful 'cellist , gave
one of the host performances of the evening.
Ho played a tnrcntello by Popper with lire
and force , and demonstrated his ability
forcibly. Without doubt If this talented
young person had the proper channels for
xtudy ho will make a name for himself. He
was called back and played a delicate little
cradle song by Oodard. The closing number
nas a trio by Messrs. Hlgglns , Landsberg
and Smith. They chose for their selections
tbo nndanto movement from a trio by Men
delssohn and the Gypsy rondo from a trio
by Haydn ,

ADVANCE THE CATTLE RATE
Marked Increase in Rates for Shipping Stock

RAILROADS CONTINUE TO ELEVATE TARIFFS

At the mooting of the Western Trunk Line
committee held In Chicago this month. Ic-
Blnnlng the 12th Inst. , the most Important
matter decided upon has relation to one of
Nebraska's Icadlns Industries the wttlo
business. The officials of the western rall-
rends agree that on January 10 existing car
load rates on stock cattle between poln's
west of the Mississippi river and east of the
Mississippi river , will be cancelled. Instead ,
the regular fat cattle rate will bo applied.
Heretofore stock cattle have been shipped
at a rate of 73 per cent of the fat cattle
tariff. The abolishment of the present late
nnd the substitution of the fat cattle rate
means an advance of 25 per cent. This ad
ded burden to the cattle shippers , coming di
rectly upon the heels of the recent change
from dollars-per-car to cents-per-hundred
rate , will , It Is expected , arouse the cattle
men of Nebraska and Kansas to a greater
extent even than at the present , and the ar
bitrary action of the railroads Is likely to
meet with pronounced opposition.
At a recent meeting of the committee ths
question arose ns to the now schedule agreed
upon for minimum weights on lumber con
cerning the measurements at cars , whether
they applied to Inside or outside measure
ments. The committee lias Issued a new-
list of minimum weights on lunibor , all of
which apply to Insldo measurements. Kor
all cars thirty feet and under the minimum
weight will bo20,000 pounds ; over thirty
feet and under thirty-four feet , 24,000
pounds ; thirty-four feet and ever , 30,000
pounds.
Beginning with January 10 the commodity
rate on alcohol , cologne , spirits , high
wines , whisky , domestic gin , rum nnd brandy
will be cancelled , and class intes substituted
between Omahn and St. Paul , Minneapolis ,
Superior , West Superior and Duluth. The
ptesent rate to St. I'aiil and Minneapolis is
36 cents. The application of class rates will
ralso the shipping charges per 100 pounds to
45 cents , an increase of 0 cents. Chairs ,
chair material , wooden mattresses and
spring bed material will also be removed
Trorn the commodity list and raised to class
rates , between Chicago , Mississippi river and
Missouri river points.
It was decided that after January 10 ship
ments of lumber , cedar posts and poles from
certain Wisconsin and Minnesota points
which are stopped in transit for the pur
pose of dressing , sawing or to finish loading ,
shall bo assessed an additional charge of "
cents per 100 on the total weight of the
shipment.
In nil Western Trunk Line committee ter
ritory the weight of apples per barrel has
been established at 150 pounds , Instead of
125 as at present. This new rule becomes
effective January 10. After that date the rate
on candy from Omaha to Memphis will be 37
cents per 100 pounds. An advance of 5 cents
per 100 pounds on candy In carloads and
lees will be made between Missouri river
points and New Orleans , and all points tak
ing the New Orleans rate.
