The > western classification , revised and re
arranged In such a manner that freight ship
ments of nearly every description will here
after carry increased cost of transportation ,
will RO Into effect January 25. The now tar
iffs will become operative on all the railroads
la the \\cst. The classification applies to nil
shipments westbound from Chicago orig
inating In that elty and applies on shipments
west of the Mississippi river , provided orig
ination Is east of Chicago. It was originally
Intended that the new classification should
become effective January 15.
The Increased ratca which have been de
cided upon from time to time during the last
few months by the freight officials of west
ern roads are all Included In the new tariffs.
There ate few mercantile pursuits that are
no' affected by the freight advances. Whole
sale and retail dealers In tbo nrtlclcB for
which higher transportation rates will bo
charged state that the burden of the Increase
vlll ultimately rest with the consumer , as
the selling prlccti will gradually be raised In
proportion as the freight charges are In
creased.
In inert Instances the advances are pr.o-
vlrted for by the changing of classification
and the Increasing of minimum weights.
Shipments which heretofore took the third
class rate ha\o been raised to second class ,
third class rat OH applying Instead of fourth
class , nnd ninny commodity ratco have been
abolished and higher class rates substituted.
Some of the principal changes effecting
Omaha shlppcm nrc enumerated In the new
cla.islflratlon no follows : Agricultural Im
plements , windmills nnd vehicle * returned
for repairs have been lowered one class and
full rates will be charged each way Instead
of the prct > cnt half tariff rate. Original
shipments of agricultural implements have
in most c.iscs been raised one class. Grain
tariffs will be raised from the special com
modity rate to class ! J Candy , which here
tofore ban taken third class rate In any
quantity , will take second class for less than
carload shipmcntR and continue In third
class for carload ohlpments with a minimum
weight of 30,000 pounds. Shipments of new
furniture continues In third class , but the
minimum weight Is increased from 12,000 to
16,000 pounds. Coffee In carload lots is in
creased from fifth to fourth class nnd in less
than carload lots from fourth to third class.
Building nnd roofing paper in carload Is
raised from class II to fifth class , and in less
than carloads from fourth to third class.
Potatoes are raised from fourth to third
class. Buggies , carriages , hearses , sleighs
and other passenger vehlclco take the same
class rates as formerly , but the minimum
weight is increased from 12,000 to 16,000
pounds. Wire rope and parafllnp wax , the
latter used to a considerable extent by the
packing houses , are raised from fourth to
third clatis.

XCW YORK , Jan. 23. Seymour X. Forbes ,
secretary of the Buffalo Merchants' ex
change , v.as the flist representative of the-
shippers heard today at the meeting of the
eastern trunk line and classification com
mittee. Forbes spoke of the unjust classi
fication of tinware , both nested and crated ,
and stamped ware. Under the old classifica
tion the Buffalo merchants had spent con
siderable time and money working up a
trade In the western states that under the
now classification could not be retained ex
cept at a loss.
P. .F. Vogel of the SI. Louis Car company
told of the difficulties his concern met with
under the new classification in shipping
electric cars. Ueprcsentlng the carriage
and builders' trades , Morris Woodhull en
tered a protest against the present classi
fication , which he said worked a Jjresit hard
ship upon the carriage manufacturers.

CHICAGO , Jan. 23. It Is Bald there Is no
present prospect of the general passenger
agents of the western roads reaching nn
agreement to restore rates to points in the
west and on the I'aclflc coast. At the meet
ing today another effort was mode to Induce -
duce the Great Northern to withdraw the
$25 tourist rate to North Pacific coast points ,
but General Passenger Agent AVhltney did
not feel authorized to make the conces
sions asked. A resolution was Introduced
to advance rates via the Missouri river gate
way to normal tariff and ignore St. Paul
competition. This met with opposition fiom
Missouri river roads , which claimed that
such action would force all the North Pa
cific coast business via St. Paul. Tomor
row a resolution Is to bo presented that the
restoration of rates bo referred to the execu
tive officers of the various roads.

Trio < o Petcli tp at the
City .lull.
Three young men of usually good habits
and sobriety commenced a drinking bout
early Tuesday morning nnd before midnight
the trio was behind the bars of the city
jail , arrested one at a tlmo during the
day for three various crimes. The names
of the young men are Sam Davis , John Sutton -
ton and Fnink Delbridgc. f The first two
are peddlera Delbrldge has been working
latelj- with his father , who is employed by
thu cltjon construction work. About 0
o'clock Tuesday morning the two peddkvs
went to the Delbrldge home as Frank was
starting for his day's work and lured him
away from the path of duty by the dis
play of much money and the promise of
a hilarious time. The thrco spent the day
In drinking nt the various Ealoons. At 6
o'clock young Delbrldgo was caught at
tempting to steal a largo sack of sugar from
In front of a grocery store at Twentj-
fourth and Seward. At the station ho said
lie had been Induced to attempt the act by
the other boys that they might have moro
money for liquor. A few hours later
Sam Davis waa arrested at Eighth and
Leavenvvorth on the charges of being drunk
and reckless driving. The rig ho had was
a peddler's wagon which he had rented from
Julo Althouso. Shortly before midnight
a drunken man staggered into the police
station a'id ( requested to see the captain.
When his name was demanded by the ser
geant ho admitted that It was John Sutton -
ton and he was given a berth In a cell , both
for being drunk and for having a possible
connection with the crimes accused of the
other two ,

At Its regular meeting Tuesday night the
council took cognizance of runioro circulated
to the Injury of that body's good name.
It passed n , resolution appointing a com
mittee of rev on empowered to summon wit
nesses nnd listen to whatever testimony
may be submitted. As Councilman Bcchcl
Is absent from the city the committee In
cludes nil the acting council except Pres
ident Blngham. The committee will hold
its flret sitting on Thursday morning and In
case no testimony Is offered the investiga
tion will bo transformed Into an Informal
dcbato on the tax levy. The resolution as
Introduced by Stuht was as follows :
Whereas , H has been reported In the
Omaiba News and otherwise that ti-atmp-
lions of mcm ! > er of the present city council
have been conducted with utter disregard
of public Interests frv tlie promotion of
individual Interests of Its members , there
fore
It Is One to the constituency of each
member and to the public Interests nt largo
ithiit ttipso rumors he traced down nnd If
any wrongs have been coiunltted that they
be. fastemd upon those who arc guilty and
not upon the city council , \n \ n body , nnd for
the puiposo of maintaining1 thiit confidence
In the city louncll winIcli She urent public
Interests entrusted to It demand , therefore
be it
Hcyolvcil. That a committee- seven be
appointed to Investigate 11 tunh cliarjc
and any that imy be brought before i-alil
committee and that said committee be au
thorized to employ a stenographer to tnUp
ti complete copy of all testimony which shall
be given under oath- said Investigation to be
coivduc'txl ' lit public In the cltj council
chamber beginning tm Thursday. Jammry
25 , nit 9 n in. , and to lp continued dnll >
until concluded , saich testimony to be sub
mitted by tihu committee with It-s rp om-
niemlitlotm to Ule city council on or before
February .
In advocating the resolution Stuht PI Id
the circulation of rumors regarding the
council's integrity was a personal reflec
tion upon each member of that body and
an injury to the city's reputation. Ho be-
lloved that If any corruption existed thu
offender should be located and called to ac
count. If any person had evidence of un
lawful practices , Stuht added , it was only
just to all concerned that he be requested
to produce it.
Mercer OpliOMei.
Mercer spoke with some spirit in opposi
tion to the proposed inquiry. He said that
the proper place for anyone having a griev
ance was the county court and not the coun
cil chamber. "The council will simply em
broil Itself In a ridiculous mess , "Mr. Mer
cer continued , "If we behave in this fashIon -
Ion we put ourselves In the attitude of ad
mitting that perhaps we are unclean and
ought to look at ourselves and see. It Is
absurd that the council should be stirred
up by insinuations of partisan newspapers
to the point of appointing such a commit
tee. The whole thing is a piece of political
buncombe and the council will be unwisu
to pay any attention to it. "
Burmester epoko briefly In favor of the In
quiry in his capacity of chairman of two
committees , at which aversions were di
rected in the newspaper articles.
On an aye and no vote all favored the
resolution except Mercer. '
The waterworks ordinance was called up
for third reading and was passed by a unani
mous \ote. As drawn up by members of
the Commercial club the ordinance provides
that a proposition to purchase the water
works plant be submitted to the people at
the spring election. The sum of $3,000,000
or part thereof Is named as a consideration
under the purchase clause in the contract
with the waterworks company. The mayor
is instructed to proclaim the bond election
In the usual way and to make proper ar
rangements therefor.
A resolution was Introduced by Mercer ,
calling upon the owners of temporary struc
tures erected under a permit expiring Jan
uary 1 , 1900 , to demolish the buildings In
accordance with law. Burmester advised that
the matter be referred to committee for in
vestigation , but upon motion the resolution
prevailed. The building inspector was In
structed to see that the provisions of the
resolution were carried out Most of the
structures coming under the resolution were
built prior to the Tronsmississlppl Exposi
tion under special permit , for which an ex
ceptional license was paid. The owners
agreed to tear down the buildings at the
close of 1S9S , but were subsequently granted
a year's time. A number of concert halls
are supposed to bo the particular objects
aimed at by the bill.

On motion tbo entlro handling of the
spring election was entrusted to the city
clerk. It will bo his duty to provide apart
ments for registration and ejection as near
as possible to tbo sites occupied last fall.
Several proposals of tent nnd awning com
panies to furnish canvas booths were re
ferred to the clerk with power to act.
The city clerk reported that ho had re
ceived responses from all the senators and
representatives from Nebraska relative to
the macadamizing of the road to Fort
Crook. Ho had solicited their support for
the project and had received favorable an
swers In each case.
The major's veto of the propcwed exten
sion of the fire limits west was sustained.
The presumably unsightly edifices which
the bill was Intended to bar out turned out
to bo structures coating several thousand
dollars-each about to bo erected by V. 0.
Stilcker and the opposition was withdrawn.
A communication from the Board of Hdu-
catlon , asking for better elevator service ,
was referred to ( ho committee on public
property and buildings.

cil that they had been Injured by falls at

and passed for the paving of Twenty-fourth
street from Dodge to Farnam ; for the wid
ening of Twenty-seventh btreet from I ako

sioner permission to purchase disinfectants

A meek , childlike llttlo man Is Elbert
Hubbard , who lectured before a largo audi
ence Tuesday night in the First Congicgu-
tlonnl church His etylo is klmllj- , gentle
and"artless. . Not particularly prepossessing
in appearance , ho Indulges in no flights of
oiatory , no eloquent periods , no impassioned
rhetoric. His voice is too high-pitched to
bo thoroughly masculine ; his discourse Is
rambling and unstudied and at times he
seems to grope for the right word , but all
these defects if defects they arc were
overlooked by his auditors. Before ho had
spoken fifteen minutes ho was thoroughly in
sympathy with them.
His subject was "Tho Iloycroftprs , " de
scribed as "a binall band of workers who
uinko beautiful books nnd things" Bja
peculiar coincidence among those "beauti
ful books and things" made by the "Roy-
crofters" Ms the " 1'hllibtlno , " a little maga
zine of which Mr. Hubbard Is editor and
publisher. But no one who heard his lecture -
turo could ncsustt him of having in mind the
mercenary advantage which might accrue
from the advertising The real motive
soc-med to bo to call attention to the fra
ternal co-operation the "philanthropy of
business" which obtains in the little com
munity , East Aurora , N. Y.
"On my way here from Chicago , " he said ,
"I met a man on the train who asked mo
several questions.
" 'You travel considerable , Mr. Hubbard ? '
ho asked.
"I told him I did.
" ' do leave business
'In whosrj , care you your
ness while jou're away ? '
"Tho question startled me. I leally had
never thought of that and had never ap
pointed anjono to represent me. My bojs
and girls all know what to do and they do
it just the same when I'm away as when I'm
there. But the man to vyl'ora the rest of.
them naturally go for advice is ono who has
served a term In the penitentiary at Sins
Sing. He Is the guiding light of the Iloy-
croftors. "
The Hubbard lecture is. ono of the scries
given under the auspices of the Omaha
teachers. Ho spoke to a crowded house.
