This Baalaesa.
The railroad ticket brokers of Omaha
designate the attempt on the part of the
railroads to get an ordinance passed by
the city council prohibiting them from
dealing; In signature tickets of all kinds
as an effort to wipe out their business,
using as a club to force the passage of
uch an ordinance the refusal to grant
tegjover privileges on World's fair tickets.
I H. I'hllbln, one Of the leading brokers.
La discussing the ordinance, said:
"Tills matter Is a two-sided affair. W
liave some rights and privileges which we
' believe people will respect, although the
railroads refuse to do so. We care nothing
about World's fair tickets and do not ex-
. jMot to deal in them to any great extent,
although no ordinance Is passed prohibiting
us from so doing. Wo want to do what Is
best for Omaha and are willing to give
lip what small amount of profit. we might
,' receive from the sals ot exposition tickets
for the good of the city. To show that
we do not care to deal In World's fair
tickets, we have prepared an ordinance
hich we will try to have introduced at an
'early meeting of the council. This ordi
nance covers the ground entirely and will
absolutely prohibit us from dealing In ex
position tickets. The' railroads say that Is
what they desire, and if so they should
bo aaUsned with it
Copy of Ordlaanee.
It reads as follows:
It shall be, and Is hereby declared unlaw
ful, for any person or persona, partnership
or corporation, or any ofllcer, agent or em
ploye In the service of any corporation, for,
or In, Its behalf, now, or herealter, engaged
la the business of railroad ticket broker,
with or without a license thervtor,, in the
city of Omaha, Neb., to buy, sell, or other
wise acquire, deal In or solicit the purchase
or sale of any railroad or railway passen
ger ticket, or evidence of passenger trans
portation, which is by Its terms plainly ex
pressed on Its face, a mileage, excursion
or commutation ticket, and by which It ap-
Jears on such ticket tiiat the same was
asued and sold below the regular schedule
rate, and under contract with the original
Curohaser that such ticket I nontransiera
le and void In the possession of any other
person than such original purchaser
thereof, and upon which It shall appear
that the same was sold for passago and
transportation of paBsengcrs through the
city of Omaha to, and on account of, the
Xoulslana Purchase exposition, now being
held at the city of St. Louis, in the state
of Missouri. Any violation of the pro
visions of this section shall, upon convic
tion, be punished by a One of not less than
Fifty dollars ($a0.0O) nor more than one
hundred dollars (1100) for each and every
such offense.
Tills ordinance shall take affect and be
In force from and after Its passage, ap
proval and publication.
"Mr. Phllbln added:
"It the ordinance prepared by the rail
roads Is passed it will not only drive every
ticket broker In Omaha out of business, but
It also will have the effect of, confiscating
every ticket we may have on hand for sale,
lor the last clause provide that It shall
become effective on and after Ita passage.
At present there are thousands of dollars'
worth of tickets In the hands of brokers in
this city."
Wallace Views River Tracks.
Chief Engineer H. U. Wallace of the Illi
nois Central arrived In Omaha Thursday
evening from the east, tie Is spending the
day . at the washout on the river bank
north of the East Omaha bridge at a point
known as the narrows. The Illinois Cen
tral track runs close to the river at this
point and a great deal of trouble has been
experienced there this spring. It was
thought for a time that the tracks of the
company would go Into the river, but- this
was prevented by prompt work at the
critical time. While the danger from a
t washout is over, Mr. Wallace's visit here
at this time Is to make arrangements to
have work of a permanent nature done
there so that there will be no danger of
a. recurrence of the trouble which occurred
this spring,
Rate Difltealtr Adjusted.
S3. If. Wood, general freight agent of the
Union Paolflc, and J. A. Kuhn, assistant
Kens nil freight agent of the Nebraska and
"Wyoming division of the Northwestern,
have returned from the grain rate meet
ing held In Chloago Thursday. They re
port all differences which had arisen that
might in any way cause a continuation of
the rate war were adjusted at the meeting
and that the now rates agreed upon will
go Into effect June 10. All freight men
la the city are feeling jubilant at the out
come of the meeting and are much relieved
to know that the long-drawn-out contest Is
finally at an end.

The Western Passenger association has

Miss Long was not angry in the least

evidence was to show the court what took
place between the complainant and de
fendant when the trouble ooourred, and the
witness' "blms" shook the clock on the
well and prompted City Proaeoutor Lee to
ask the woman not to break up the oourt
furniture.
According to the evidence of the Long
woman. Annie Curtis was so drank on the
evening of the trouble that It was neces
sary to carry her to her couch. She also
aid the Curtis woman broke a wash bowl
and threw the pieces out of a screen door
lust or old-time's sake.
The Bradley woman declared the Curtis
woman picked up a phonograph and would
have thrown It had not someone stopped
her. This the Curtis woman denied. When
Minnie Bradley said she did not throw a
brick at the plaintiff the Curtla woman
prompUy unwrapped a brick bat and of
fered it as evidence. Miss Bradley aald,
however, that if she would have had a
brick she would certainly have used It on
Idas Curtis.
One witness testified that she saw the
Bradley woman have a knife, while the
latter denied the Implication, and so It
went until a front row of witnesses were

GURLEY COMES OUT IN OPEN
Despite Pledge of Fealty to Corslik,
Anaoonces Himself Candidate
for Congress.
Notwithstanding his previously publicly-
announced fealty to E. J. Cornish for con
gress W. F. Ourley has formally announced
his candidacy for the republican nomina
tion for congress from the Second district,
according to delegates to the recent state
convention. Up to that time Mr. Gurley
had sedulously refrained from going on
record concerning the subject, but the night
before the convention he unbosomed him
self in a caucus of the Douglas county
delegation. John I, Webster, wanted Our
ley to be named as an alternate to the na
tional convention so he might make the
speech presenting his name for. vice pres'y
dent If 'necessary, and Erastu A. Bensol ,
already decided upon, had volunteered t
withdraw In Ourley's favor. On Black
burn's coaching, however, the latter pro
tested vigorously and pushed away the
proferred crown at last, saying:
"I am a candidate for congress and th&t
political ambition is enough at this time."
Apart from this the congressional situa
tion remains Just where it was before the
convention and after the primaries.

BRYAN STILL THE SPHINX

Biaielf on Bolting.
LEAVES LATTER FOR THE OTHER FELLOWS
Refuse . to Give fleed to Letter of
W. S. Shoemaker Reorganlsers
Hot Perterbed Over Ills
Visit,
William Jennings Bryan Is still the
sphnlx. Although for The Bee he broke a
recently made rule not to give out any
more interviews, yet he would not answer
the two questions that are foremost In the
curiosity of the reorganlsers.
Whom will he back for president?
Will he bolt the national convention un
less he control It?
"I have no choice so far as candidate are
concerned," he says. "If w can fill the
convention with men who are in harmony
with democratlo principles at set forth in
the Kansas City platform they can be
trusted to select candidates in harmony
with thos principle. Further than this I
must decline to discus candidates."
"Do you contemplate bolting In case the
convention does not go your way?"
"I will not assume, even for the purpose
of argument, that a democratlo convention
will so far repudiate democratlo principles
or policies a to present auch a question.
I am satisfied that this year, as In 1900,
the action of the convention will be
such a to leave the question ot
bolting to be considered by thos who
bolted in 1S9. But such a question can
never arise until the action of the conven
tion on platform is known."
Will Kot Talk ot Hearst.
Mr. Bryan would not apeak concerning
W. R. Hearst, holding that his decision
not to discuss Candidates foftbade It. The
remarks attributed to him above were dic
tated. Apart from them he bad nothing
more concrete to offer In reply to the two
leading question which the reorganlsers
desire answered.
The interrogation point besprinkled letter
sent to Mr. Bryan by W. S. Shoemaker of
this city will not be answered by Mr.
Bryan. Ne attention will be paid to it .
"I notice," commented Mr. Bryan, with
a smile, "that the reorganlsers seem to
And their source of publicity mostly In re
publican newspapers."
The local reorganlsers say they do not
fear the effect of Bryan's speeches her on
the primaries. They declare the assertions
that the leader does not want support on
personal grounds, nor any votes from men
not 'In full accord with the Kansas City
platform, will prove a boomerang and
afford su6h men as C. J. Smyth, whom they
say are antagonistic to reaffirmation of the
silver plank, an excuse for deserting Bryan.
It was noticeable this morning, however,
that Mr. Smyth was one of the men In a
council of leading Bryan democrats held
in the editorial sanctum of Richard L. Met
calfe of the World-Herald.
"The only effect Of Bryan' visit," said a
leading reorganlser, "will be to stir up en
thusiasm among his followers here who
are tied to him hand and foot, because of
admiration for his personality:
