Fifth mrffl from Farnam ta Harnr Ooes Tkronk Wltaeat Hitch. Bond to the amount of $200,000 for the purpose of funding and taking up floating Indebtednese of the city were authorised by the city council In an ordinance passed at the meeting of last etenlng. Thli or dinance takes the place of one which was peeked by the council, but waa later found to be technically defective as to title and waa therefore vetoed by Acting Mayor Karr. The proposition of the Omaha Realty company for the settlement of taxes now In litigation was returned by the Judiciary committee with a report to the effect that the committee had rejected the offer of the company an Insufficient, but with the assistance of the city legal department had effected an agreement whereby the company would pay ita general taies In full with the exception of those of 1902 and Ita special taxes, less a discount of $19,000. The Indebtedness la question Involves a large number of parcels of land owned by the Omaha Realty company and Includes, as ahown In the report of the committee, principal and Interest of regular taxes amounting In the aggregate to $14,886; and principal and Interest of special assess ments amounting In the aggregate to $33, 778.73. The company bad proposed to pay to the city In settleavnt In full the amount of $20,891.45, setting foith aa an argument In favor of the acceptance of the offer that many of the apeclal aasessments bad already been Invalidated by the courts or would be It put to the test, and the um named waa probably more than the city could collect by process of law. The committee rejected that basis of settlement, but recognizing that many of the special assessments were faulty in law made the concession of $19,000, as above stated. An ordinance providing for settlement aa recommended by the committee was given Ita first and second reading. Opening- Thirty-Fifth Street. f The ordinance ordering the opening of Thirty-fifth street, fifty feet wide, from Farnam to Harney street, waa given Its third reading and pasted, the former or dinance ordering a twenty-foot alley at this point having been repealed. When the appropriation ordinance for the payment of current expense bills was presented the old contention involving the appropriation of $15,000 for a market house waa resumed, and nearly every member present the only absentee being Council man Burkley took occasion to repeat his former statements aa to the neceaatty of paying bills of current expense, or the Impossibility of paying them In the pres ent condition of the general fund. Tho ordinance waa finally recommitted to the committee on finance and claims. Council man Lobeck stipulating that It should come up in general committee next Monday.

Sandwiched between music by two col ored men and ahort talks by local candi dates, A. C. Rankin of Pittaburg. Pa., sent out by the republican national congressional committee, delivered an address of two hours and fifteen minutes on national la aues at a meeting of republtcana of the Eighth ward last night. Congressman Mercer arrived at the hall at 9:45 o'clock and after the address cf the evening he did the glad-hand act. A W. Jefferla, candidate for county attorney, waa also present, but did not speak. Mr, Rankin discussed the tariff, the money question, the trusts. Imperialism and many other questions that come up In the campaign. He aaid the republicans. The Hazards of business suggest the safe guard of life insurance. You mav be very successful to-day, but statistics show that over ninety per cent, of business men fail. Life insurance can be always converted into cash if you have the right policy, and in case of death it provides at once, cash funds for your business and vour family. tv. ... i Th.

He placed the blame for the formation of trusts and their growth In the country at the hands of the democrats. "Trusts bad their Inception during the laat democratic administration." he said, "and their formation was due to the condi tion of the Industries of the country at that time. Those business men, proprie tors of factories, who survived the hard times brought about by the mismanage ment of the affaire of the country by the democrats. Joined together to prevent a repetition of this, and to prevent the cut ting of throats by each other In order to get rid of their products, which wss neces sary for them to do to be saved under the Cleveland administration. The demo crats promised to make laws to govern the trusts when they were given power, but they did nothing." In concluding his discussion of the trusts Mr. Rankin stated that the republican party would handle the question and would do It In a way that would result in good for the country. "They will not do It with a free tariff." he said, "for the tariff la not responsible for tho trusts." The spesker was frequently Interrupted by ap plause and at the conclusion of tho ad dross thoRe present were Introduced to him. Mr. Rankin was at one time the head of the Federation of Labor In Pittsburg and during the '70s was an Iron molder under Captain Webb, now of the secret service, stationed here. ABANDONS WESTERN TRIP (Continued from First Page.) you. but no Intimation of the possibility of a change In the president's plans was alven in that message. ' "I regret," said the senator, "that the president Is not to come to Omaha, for bU presence here has been, looked forward to with great pleasure ny tne people oi Ne braska, and they will be sorely disappointed I regret also that It has been necessary for the president to submit to tin operation, al though I understand that It was successfully performed and that no 111 effects are likely to ensue. With the president with us Omaha would have had a great day Satur day, a bigger day probably than It ever had. Of course the Ak-Sar-Ben festlvat will go on and with favorable weather there will be great crowds In the city during the carnival season, but we lose tho great big day on account of the Inability of the pres ldent to come here." Senator Millard had nothing to say In re gard to calling off the arrangements that have been made at other NcbraRka cities for the president's reception. "I suppose," said he, "that there will be nothing to do but to wear out our disappointment the best we can. The local committees will undoubtedly stop right where they are with their af fairs." Omaha Clob Waa All .Ready. President Peck of the Omaha club said: "We had turned the club over to the pres ident and his party upon the request ef th. board of governors. Our arrangements were all complete and the news Is disconcerting In the extreme. I cannot tell what will be done, aa the matter Is entirely within the control of the board." Probably the man most affected by tho news was Steward Pryor of th? Omaha club. For three weeks he has been at work on the arrangements for the banquet. Th markets of the country have been ran sacked to secure the best to be had In tho way of food and beverages. Some had been difficult to secure, but Monday night the worry of the steward had ended. He had succeeded In securing the things he desired nd In hla mind there was no reerst. The delicacies which could not be purchased In Omaha had been shipped so as to arrive tMa morning. The cooks had received their Instructions and !n btr' mind's eye the teward saw' spread before the chief execu tive of the country and his party the most complete banquet ever served In the city. Then came the cancellation of the engage ment. All the work has gone for naught so far aa the president 1s concerned. Th? teward Is a disappointed man and It will require time to restore his Injured frel'njs. Railway Rates Will Stand. Railway passenger officials were unable to say last night much that was definite con cerning the probable effect on railroad rates of the abandonment of President Roosevelt's visit. It will doubtless affect them to some extent, but everything that Is done will be unanimous, all the railroads acting in con cert. To thia end representatives of the various lines will meet this morning snd de termine all action in the matter. The fact that only three days now re main before the expected data of the visit makes any aweeping change -of the ratea almost Impossible. The flat rate reductions have all been advertised, and will doubtless (and. In the case of special parties and special trains, however, the effect will be felt. Most of these will be called off, at least for that date. Sonth Omaha Troopers Sorry. Members of the South Omaha troop of cavalry are among those who are greatly disappointed by the turn affairs have taken. Captain W. L. Holland had been asked by the Board of Governors to turn out his men to act aa escort for the president. Cap tain Holland accepted, and his troopers were eager to respond, as It would be their first public appearance, and they were anxious for the opportunity to figure in such an Important spectacle. It la probable that the troop will take part in the great daylight parade on Wednesday next. Captain Holland has been asked to turn out hla men . on that dsy. but la unable to give a. positive answer to the Invitation yet. He favors it. though, and Is of the opinion, that he wil be able to get his entire command to Join In the demonstration on Wednesday afternoon. Mayor's Proclamation. To the Citizens of Omaha During the next two weeks Omaha Is to be the center of attraction for the people- of the trans- mlsalsslppi region and many thousands of visitors will be In our city. It is the desire of every loyal cltlien that Omaha ahall show herself to the best advantage during the Ak-Sar-Ben festlvl ties soon to open and particularly during the time that President Roosevelt is In our city. Let every person feel that It Is his duty to show his loyalty to the city la some effective way. I particularly request that the residences, stores, factories and other buildings along the route to be taken by the presidential party and by the AkSar Ben parades be decorated,, with flags and bunting and be Illuminated In honor ct the president. City permits will be Issued without charge to those desiring to use electrical decorations. On Wednesday, October 1. la to occur the industrial parade and on behalf of the Board of Oovernors of the Knights of Ak- Sar-Ben I request that all offices, stores and placea of business be cloaed at o'clock In the afternoon and remain closed for the rest of the day, so that all the employe- may hare an opportunity to Join la the parade with the varloua labor, clvlo or fraternal societies to which they may belong.. Let. us all Join hands to make the events of the next two weeks magnificently suc cessful. FRANK E. MCORES. Mayor. Olsea's Body Itooted to Science.

THE OMAHA DAILY AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Talk ef Forciag County Attorney to Preie- cuts Bsloen Law Vislaters. FORMAL DEMANDS TO BE SERVED ON HIM Assistant County Attorney Credited with All Work Done Ip to rreeeot and People Become Dis pleased with Affairs. It was stated yesterdny that formal de mands would be served upon the county attorney to appear In the police court of South Omaha on September 29 and prosecute all of the men who have been arrestel during the laat two months, charged with violations of the saloon laws of the state. All complaints now on file have been drawn by Assistant City Attorney Cohn snd the cases, up to this time, have been looked after by him. Twice have the casej been set for trial and at each time con tinuances have been secured by the saloon men on one pretext or another. Now that the cases are about to be reached for final determination, the legal department of tho city docs not seem to be in the least anx ious to have the whole responsibility of a successful prosecution rest upon Its shoulders, but says that all honors should be divided with the office from which the prosecutor ehould come. This office, . It claims. Is that of the county attorney. City Attorney Murdock Is said to favor the calling In of the county attorney. The only reason assigned for this action la the fact that the prosecutions sre claimed to be really without the Jurisdiction of case to be prosecuted by the assistant city at torney, and If the cases should be ap Dealed to the district court. It would then undoubtedly become the absolute duty of tho county attorney to prosecute them in that court. Having this In mind, the legal department seems to feel that If any ob jections ehould be raised against the word ins: of the complaints In the higher court. It would come In for Its share of censure, and desires to avoid this by having the approval of the county attorney on the form of the complalnta filed in the police court. Members of the Anti-Saloon lesgue stated yesterday that they approved of the action of tho city attorney in asking the county attorney to prosecute these saloon cases. Some of them stated that the county at torney has been requested to prosecute sa loon men In South Omaha for violation of the liquor laws, but that nothing ever came of such demands. The outcome of the present demand by the eity attorney is watched with interest. School Tronble Vnchansred. There Is no change In the situation of the troubles brewing in the different schools of the city. Other than the Inde pendent action of the South Omaha police In endeavoring to arrest the parties con nected with the outrage at the West 8lde school, nothing is being done. The Board of Education seems to Ignore the trouble both at the West Side and at Lowell, and s taking no ateps to stop the different acts of lawlessness said to ! continually going on In those schools. Certain mem bers of the board, when asked yesterday what action the board would take, went so far aa to lay the blame on teachers, say ing that It waa their duty, and not the duty of the Board of Education, to put a atop to this alleged lawlessness. Aeanult Officer Ttnamnasen. Complaints were yesterday morning filed In the police court against Henry Bel- heimer, Timothy Lloyd, Dan Donovan and Charles Southerland, charging them with having, assaulted Officer Anton Rasmussen qn Monday, night. .It seems that while Rasmussen was attempting to arrest Dono van, the other three pitched In and not only captured the prisoner, but tore away the officer's club and one of them stole hla revolver. They were charged with assault and battery and resisting an of ficer. Lloyd and Donovan both pleaded guilty and were given heavy fines, but Bel hetmer stated that he would stand trial, which was set for next Friday morning. Southerland has not yet been arrested. Additional Letter Carrlera. It was announced yesterday at the South Omaha postofflce that three additional car riers would be employed here. For some time there has been much objection over the overworked condition of the different carriers In the city and a great effort has been made to secure additional carriers. Postmaster Etter has, In response to his application, received Instructions to em ploy three additional carrlera. Two of these will be put to work on the delivery route In the business portion of the city, while one will act as a collector. There Is a continual Increase In the mall re ceipts at South Omaha, which, if It con tinues, probably will necessitate another addition to the present force. The routes of several well known carriers may be changed In October 1, whin the additional force goes on duty. Kaln on a Rampnare. Mike Kaln was yesterday afternoon ar rested and lodged in Jail, charged with drunkenness, disorderly conduct and as sault and battery. Kaln'a father, a con stable, started to tako the young man to jail, but getting the worst of the argu ment, called to hla assistance a police man, and together they finally succeeded In getting the youth to the bastile. A complaint was filed against him last even- lpg by T. T. Munger, charging him with beating young Floyd Munger in a horrible manner. Kaln was locked In a solitary cell, as he waa still In a violent frame of mind Isst evening. !Vo Heat at Schools. Parents of school children are register ing a rigid complaint over the fact that the different school buildings of the city are so Inadequately heated that seversl severe cases of sickness have resulted. For she most part the rooma are damp. owing to the fact that they have now been closed tor several months. It Is said that the worst trouble of this kind is at the High school, where, K Is said, but little effort Is made to provide the building with the necessary beat. Magic City Gossip.

MOTIVE POWER UP TO PAR Lootmotivti Kept in 0td Onnditisn Dttpi'.a the FrlD(i 8triks. OLD SHOP RECORDS ARE SURPASSED talon Pacific Quotes Flanrrs to Prove that Good Work and Plenty of It la Belnst Done In Shops. Conditions In our shops erntradit the repeated statements that our motive power running down as a result of Innd quate nd Incompetent help," raid an official cf he Union Taciflc yesterday. "The strike hss not produced the effect its promoter re claiming; our affairs are far from being emorallsed as has been ssjerted and re sorted and upon the contrary we are mak g as much progress along certain lines of work and even more in some than before the strike began," he continued. To sustain his point some records of the ork done In Omaha shops and one or two others were disclosed. According to these records five engines were turned out of the looal shops last week, thoroughly repaired nd ready for use. Anticipating upon the basis of what has already been done this month It was shown that during the entire onth of September there will be turned out from the local shops between eighteen nd twenty engines generally repaired. This 111 exceed the average under normal con- Itlons, this official states, by about half a doxen, the ordinary month'a output being from twelve to fifteen engines. On the whole system a total of sixteen nglnes were turned out of the shops last eek. The corresponding week laBt year only fourteen were turned out, according to the record quoted at headquarters. Are not those figures sufficient to show at our work Is being well performed and our motive power kept In first class shape?" asKea the official. Improve on Old Kecords. 'We have In service over the entire sys tem 480 locomotives. Under ordinary con ditions an engine goes into the Fhop for repair about every ten months, but. at the rate I have quoted we are able to send them n every eight months, which Is better than every ten. I won't make any comment as to he standard of workmansh.lt belne done under present conditions in the, shops, but et inese tacts and figures speak for them selves." 8ince the strike began the Union Pacific haa established a shop at Laramie and the same official quoted above said yesterday mat. irom ninety to 100 men are now em ployed In this shop and that thirty of thl? umber were skilled mechanics, which was considered a good percentage. This n-w nop draws its work from Chevenne and then there Is another new shop at Sidney, men is supplied from Cheyenne snd North Platte. A goodly number of men la at -nrif here also. Fifty-five new men were nut to work yesterday in the Omaha shops. inursnay is the day set for the hearino- of the Injunction obtained by the Union racine fint the strikers end every effort on both sides seems directed toward mat important event. The strikers, guided by their attorneys, are formulating plans and while declining to disclose any of the etaus or tnelr methods, assert their ron. fldence In being able to successfully corn eal tne issue. The Union Pacific le,i department, under John N. Baldwin, upon wnoae application Judae M,-Phr.nn Iowa Issued the restraining order, is busily ur.wing up us side of the fight and some flava man 1 iu. . . - ""ni ma aiuiemeni to oe made mat tne injunction would be prevail. Kffeet of Injaiictlon, Striken at the outset announced their Intention of obeying what seemed to them ths legal and reasonable provisions of this Injunction, but as frankly stated that there were certain restrictions upon their conduct and methods which they would Ignore and this policy has been pretty generally adhered to. The picket line has been maintained, but not nearer the com pany's premises than one block, which 13 a change from the original; the daily bul- ctins nave been sent out as usual and the strike leaders have not ceased to give out interviews or statements for publication since the Issuance of the Baldwin In unction, but there has been an evident In tention and effort to abstain from demon strative talk or conduct. Thus the 143 men effected by this Judicial decree feel satisfied, as the time of hearing ap proaches, with their conduct in the light of the edict and say they will go Into court serenely confident of establishing their side of the case. It Is understood that the Union Pacific will endeavor to make much of the per sistent work of the pickets, since the un usually heavy defections that have oc curred in the shop forces as an evident re ault of this Injunction. Strikers assert that fully 100 men have left the sh0D3 since learning of the Injunction. P0SPISIL IS DISCHARGED Charles Speilman the Only Man Held for the Murder of Karl Caldwell. After a preliminary hearing, which con tinued most of the day, Charles Pospistl, charged with murder In the second degree In connection with the killing of Earl Caldwell, was discharged by Police Judge Berka, and John Spellman, who won charged Jointly with Posplall, was held to the district court Th the sura of $7,000. He was unable to give the required bond yesterday afternoon and was taken to tho county Jail. Several witnesses who testified at the coroner s Inquest were examined, but nothing new came out at the hearing. M. W. Ball, who was with Caldwell at the lime of the assault was positive that Pos plsll waa present at the time of ths as sault and that be had a club In his haul. On cross-examination, however, he was un able to describe Pospisll's clothes, with the exception that hla coat was black. He recognized Pospisll's face, he said. The other witnesses were aa poBltlvo that Posplsll was not present. County Attorney Shields was assisted in the prosecution by W. F. Gurley. Ed P. Smith represented the defense. Neither of the prisoners showed any uneasiness as the hearing progressed. Saved Herself by Telephone.

Former Councilman Frederick O. Uthoff, who, It Is said, wsb "buncoed" out of Mj.OOO of $30,000 alleged to have been received for his voto on the Central Traction bill from R. M. Snyder of Kansas City, has returned from Colo rado to testify at Snyder's trial next Mon day, and was in conference with Circuit Attorney Folk thia afternoon. It is believed that Uthoffs return Is second in Impor tance only to the return of John K. Mur rell and that his revelations may render unnecessary tho testimony of Fugitive Charles F. Kellyj who la wanted by the state sa a witness against certain million aire brlbe-glvers in the city lighting bill legislation. Circuit Attorney Folk Is si lent on the result of the conference.

It passed the bill, which made possible the consolidation of the street car system. Later, Snyder, Jtr is said, borrowed $45,000 from Uthoff and went to New York, whence Uthoff fallowed hlra. There Snyder In duced Uthoff to sign an agreement by which he accepted $5,000 and denied that any offer of bribery had been made. Uthoff came back to St. Louis with his $3,000 and Snyder remained in New York with hla $45,000. Snyder's Fatal Mlatake. His remaining there made It possible for him to be Indicted for bribery after the three years, owing to a statutory provision extending the statute of limitations In case of nonresldence In the state. Last winter, when the bribery cases were first brought tinder investigation, Uthoff went before the grand Jury and testified. It was supposed then that he had made startling revelations. Tho four prisoners now In the Four Courts, John H. SchnetMer, John Helms and Otto Schumacher, under $45,000 bonds each, and William Tamblyn. under $30,000 bonds, made application late thia after- noon to juage i..ou8m "l, l" " luil' court for a reduction of thelr bonds.
