PreslfleBt BtuyYnt Fish of the Illinois Central, accompanied by Jude J. M. Dick inson, general counsel, and John F. Wal- laeo, assistant general manager, and Mr. i Fish's two sons, arrived In Omaha at t:U yesterday afternoon on a speclsl over the Central road. President Fish and his sons are on a pleasure trip to Colorado and left on the Union Pacific train at 4:25. Mr. Wallace and Mr. Dickinson return to Chicago, where they met the president, with whom they transacted official business en the way to Omaha. x "You may say that the Illinois Central Is not la any way connected or affiliated with the deal of the Rock Island and the Frisco." said President Fish to a reporter for The Bee. "For that matter." continuing, he said, "we are not la the amalgamation business and have no connection whatever with this or any such tranaactlon. Wo art not seek ing a combination with any other railroad and not forming any aort of securities ' company. You may make that Just as bread as you please, for It Is a fact that the Illinois Centrsl is absolutely divorced ' from this 'Frisco deal and all other deal of that kind. Wa are devoting ourselves assiduously to the management of our own little road." Asked If he regarded the purchase of the 'Frisco by the Rock Island a consummated deal. President Fish said: Haa Been MLajaotea. "I would rarher not be quoted on that point. Shortly before I left New York last Thursday one ot the papers there sent a re porter to Interview me en that subject, and t I was quoted la that paper as having said that the Illinois Central was mixed up In the deal. The paper also published the statement that President Yoakum and I had held a eoaterens over the matter. Now, as a matter ot tact. I never la my life waa tn conference with President Yoakum over anything ot this kind, and the entire story waa a misrepresentation. I desire to make that statement so that my position msy be thoroughly understood In the west. "Yea, I ant making a general Inspection ot th Illinois Central properties while out west I shall proceed to Colorado wth my boys and tbea return and go over ths sys tem more carefully. We are particularly Interested Just now tn our Coublo track con struction south. Ws have 400 miles of double track now south of Chicago and about 100 miles under construction out of New Orleans, and It will be completed as soon as possible. General Improvements ot our road Is our motto, rather than the ac quisition, 'of other lines. Ws ars constantly making betterments wherever we aee that they are possible." .

In the same house at 1203 Dnugtas street, Eleanora Roberta said: Giro this to Will at 10 o'clock." 8h then hurried to ber room and locked the door. The recipient to this letter became suspicious and hurried ' down Into the streett where she found Patrolman Mc Carthy and told htm of her teara. The policeman tried the locked door and, not receiving any response to his demands tor admittance, broke the lock and entered. The woman waa lying face downward on her bed, which was saturated with chloro form. Aa he approached she sprang up and made a dash for the opea window, but was caught. The woman was taken to the police station, where, after 'being restored to normal condition, she was locked up. The prisoner Is about 25 ysars old. JACKSONIAN CLUB'S PICNIC Executive Committee Haa .

CUTTING THE MEAT RATES Chicago Great Wsitara sounds Call for Livtly li;ht. War. STRONG LINES WILL MEET STICKNEY'S DEFI Frabaktlltr at Redaction oa tlrt Stock as Wall, to Offset Any Ad vantage tkat Hay Aooiae to Paokere. "It nrobably means war ah'iad," sak! a local freight agant of one ef the Chlcairo Omaha Hies when asked as to the effect ot ths Chicago Great Western's heavy cut tn the rates o.t packing house products, as published In The Bee yesterday. Continuing he' said: "Of course there tan be bo doubt of this rat being met by all the lines from hers to Chicago. That no tion will bo Uken without delay, In all probability and ths only question ts. Will ths matter end there T It Is' not altogether Improbable that some of the Great W tet ern's competitors will go that lino one bet ter and make a still greater cut in these rates, for, as Indicated In the dispatch, the Great Western must have obtalnsd a con cession In ths form of a promise ot the lion's share ot the packing shipments tor Initiating this rate." This vlsw is more than indorsed by nearly all the freight men In Omaha Interestsd In this rate. Another agent, In discussing the matter said: "There Is another feature of this case to be considered Just now. Under the Inter state Commerce commission's ruling ths llvo stock men will have the right to de mand end receive reductions In freight rate oa their live stock commsnsurate with those granted the packers, and there la every reason to belive that the rangers will make such a demand. If they do and the roads should hesitate to grant It then you will see a very Interesting fight. But it ts t to 1 that their requeet or demand would not be turned down, for the simple reason that the Great Western's competi tors would be glad to embraoa that oppor tunity of lowering that class of rates and forcing the road that took the Initiative la the packing house rate reduction, to coma to them." Several ot the local freight men admit that It la not at all unlikely that the Great Western's rate wll be surpassed and a strong defy mads to ths Btlckney line to drop still lower. ' This retaliatory action would simply start a toboggan sltds. It Is believed, and no telling where ths rates would land. May Affeat Grata Rates. While the controversy over packing house freight charges Is going on there may, after all, be some new developments In tis grain rates about the middle of this month' that will be Interesting. Friday a local freight man stated that notwithstanding the contemplated increase In grain rstos by the Kansas City-Chicago and St. Louis roads, such an increase would not bo made by Omah lines, at lsast three prominent freight agents today take Issue with this -view. Aa a matter of fact there has never been any established flat grain rate between Omaha and Chicago or Mississippi river points, but July 24 the roads here made a rate ot I cents on wheat and all other grain to Chicago and S cents to Minne apolis. This was on business originating wast and waa called a proportional rate. This rata was to remain in effect until August IS, when the charges would drop back, it was understood, to the balance of the through rates, which from Omaha have averaged from 11 to 1SH cents. With this arrangement already made there will of necessity be an Increase on August 15 in grain rates, unless ths various roads da elds to reinstate the flat rates Just quoted. Just what will be done la not known now. out it m scarcely proDsDie that the reduced rate will be continued la view of the enor mous grain crop, which is the basis for the advanced rates at Kansas City.. Whether the rates here will go any higher than they were before July 24 Is also a matter of speculation, which no one yet pretends to decide. Mtlwaakee Tlaaa Chaaaea. The Chicago, Milwaukee tt 8t. Paul has made several important changes in its pas senger train schedules effective Sunday. One of these changes involves a reduction of running time between Omaha and -Chicago, of thirty-five minutes.

COMBATS FARMERS' CLAIM Commissioner Ostrom Comments on Storitl of Flood damages. COUNTY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERFLOW Calverta Complained Of Hava Really Bee a of Vain la Maklagr Pos sible 4k Is ot th Lands Drained. Since the meeting' last Wednesday ths Board ot Connty Commissioners has re ceived two bills for damages alleged to have been sustained by farmers during th recent rains, when water backed up from Inadequate culverts, but th commissioners seem Inclined to be unfavorable toward payment of any such claims. They have been touring Valley and Waterloo pre cincts and will go out again Monday to finish touring the county, holding no meet ing until next Saturday. Of the damage Commissioner Ostrom said: "Some of the farmer are almighty hard to please. They kicked for th road and now they kick about them. The fact Is that where some of thess claims come from the land was practically a awamp until the county put In culverts and drains. I can remember when .to ride over tbla land In rainy weather meant to ride through water for rods at a atretch, yet now when there Is an especially heavy flood that back over them they make a great fuss to the board, forgetting that it was th county' action originally that raleed th value of their lands from $5 per acre to $50 per acre. Moreover, I happen to know that one man who asks money of th county for flood damage to certain acrea has as fin corn on thos acres right now as I aver saw."
