THE OMAHA DAILY HEK: WEDNESDAY. JANUARY IS. 1003. M1ICACD AGAINST OMAHA Windy City Grain Men See Corn Trade Slipping- Away. RATE TO GULF GIVES GATE CITY LEAD Mlaaonrl Paella "Mldnlaht Tariff rut Kmlfri Itoada Oat of Ran nlii aad Sets Kreiaht Agents Una? f Igarlnfc. Chicago Is now lined up In an endeavor to hold (ho corn market away from Omaha. In the Chicago Tribune of Tueiday Is a better explanation of the Missouri Pacific "midnight" rate on corn from Omaha than haa -el been given locally. Railroad men her aeem to know little about the actua tion, beyond the fact that the corn rate from Omaha Is a growing factor In their dally Uvea. Hera Is what the Tribune aya: Chicago grain men who are trying to se cure more favorable rates from eastern road In the hope ot recovering a fair share of the export trade have received another blow. They learned yesterday that the Missouri Pacific had put In another so-called "mid night tori IT from Omaha to the gulf on l,4tj care at 11 cent! a hundred pound. As the export rate from Chicago to the Atlantic porta la 15 cent, the Impossibility of drawing any corn from the west through Chicago la apparent. A few days ago at a meeting of repre sentative of the grain carrying roads the Missouri Pacific representative stated that although that road had put in "midnight tariffs ' on I.uW.im) bushels of grain to the gulf at a reduced rate It would not do so any more. Now, however, the Information cornea from Washington that the Missouri Pacific haa violated that promise and haa filed tariffs on special lots to the amount of over i.fioo.MiO bushels In addition to the original l.Gvu.OuO.

Mo Omaha-Cork, via Baltimore 8M.46 Omaha-Cork, via New Orleans 83.000 Omaha-Cork, via New Orleans "mid night" tariff 80.000 letter from Denmark. A letter showing how bad the situation Is from the Chicago point of view was re ceived by a prominent grain firm during the day. It comes from Aarhus, Denmark, and latas that the Danish house haa done con siderable business In corn for shipment from the gulf porta In December, January, February and March. The letter says some twenty steamers have been chartered from the gulf to Denmark alone. As each one of theae steamers carries from ftiO.OOO to 260,000 bushels of grain it caa be seen what an immense business baa been booked by way of the gait, . ... -r A letter was received from the export firm of Hancock & Co., Philadelphia, by Its rep resentative In answer to an advertisement for a small elevator tor sale in Chicago. The firm writes: "We would not pay taxes on an elevator In Chicago under present conditions. As a matter of fact, we think that every eleva tor In Chicago could be bought for a song. The railroads are discriminating against you to such an extent that Chicago haa ceased to be a factor in the grain shipping business." Eastern Men Takt Up Fight. Eastern grain men and grain exchanges are taking up the fight for cheaper rates In which they are equally interested with Chi cago. The Commercial exchange of Philadelphia has sent an earnest protest to President Causa tt of the Pennsylvania road, to Presi dent Baer of the Reading and to presidents and managers of other roads, because of alarm over the disappearance of the export grain trade from that port. To emphasize the protest, the exchange has also sent a resolution to President Roosevelt endorsing his position on the subject and Informing lilm of the discriminations made against Atlantic ports by eastern roads. At the meeting of freight trafflo managers of the western railroads In the afternoon this topic of the outlook In the grain trade absorbed all attention. News of the action of the Missouri Pacific aroused an ex tremely bitter feeling. The protests of Its representative that the first action had not been authorised were doubted. Whereas the western roads had been opposed at their lost metlng'to the change In the bas ing of rates from the Mississippi river to f'hlcago, they all swung around to favor that plan for meeting the conditions now confronting the Chicago roads. The plan PUTTINO IT STRONd Bat Doesn't It Look Reasonable This may read as though we were put ting It a llttfe strong, because It Is gen erally thiwght by the majority of people that Dyspepsia In Its chronlo form Is in curable or practically so. But we have long since shown that Dyspepsia Is cura ble, nor is it such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with Dyspeptics Is that they are continually dieting,' starving them selves or going to the opposite extreme or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with "bitters," "after dinner pills," etc., which invariably Increase the difficulty, even if In some rases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treat ment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants Is a rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body rourlshed and sustained T This la a great secret and this Is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Thla is a comparatively sew remedy, but its success and popularity leave no room, as to Its merit. The Tablets will digest the food anyway, regardless of condition of stomach. The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according to di rections, is to eat an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested, no matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be, because, s before stated, the tablets will digest the food even If the stomach Is wholly In active. To Illustrate our meaning plainly, If you take l,8u0 grains, of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place It In a temperature of M degrees, snd put with It one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as If the meat was vnclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished and at the earns time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made because the much sfcused stomach will be given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Tour druggist will tell you that of all the many remedies advertised to cure Dyspepsia, none of them have liven M complete and general satisfaction as Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least In Importance in theae hard times Is the fact that they are also the cheapeat a4 give the Most good for the least money. vtph referred to a committee with Instruc tions to report soon. Cheaper to the naif. A Rock Island man said. In commenting on 'he enormous gulf hauls In which the company had shared to Galveston: "We have been getting IS cents for the haul and we have had about all the business we could handle. The 15-cent haul from Chi cago to the Atlantic seaboard, and at 18 cents, you see, the figures were below the competing point of eastern lines. The rate to Philadelphia is 164 cents and to Baltimore 16 cents. But this rate Is from Chicago on grain Intended exclusively for the export business. To this rate must be added 8 cents for the haul from river to rlvrr, that Is, from the Missouri to the Mississippi. This will make the lowest eastern rate 25 cents. "Besides the rate the eastern ports are obliged to overcome the shipping advan tages which the southern ports have over the northern ones. The fact remains that the eastern shippers have been getting all the grain they want for domesMc purposes from Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska and they have not yet entered the field for the ex port grain. When the domestic business Is out of the way and they began to buy for export trade I think you will see the grain rates of the eastern lines drop to a point that will put them on an equal basis with the southern lines, or else the gulf carrying lines will raise their rates. The eastern lines could not have handled the export and the domestic shipments and done It as promptly as the gulf lines were able to handle this trade. The shipments have been beyond anything known In years and they were not prepared for this In undation of grain traffic business." MEYER IS SUING FOR THIRTY Former Clerk In Land Commissioner's Office Says He Paid It I'nder Dnreas. State Land Commissioner Henry M. Eaton, former Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings George D. Follmer and Representative FItle of South Omaha were witnesses Wednesday afternoon In Judge Vlnsonhaler's court In the case of Henry O. Meyer against Henry M. Eaton. Meyer is suing for 830. alleged to have been paid by him to defendant under stress and violence. The testimony developed this state of facts: When Mr. Follmer took possession of his office In January, 1901, he appointed Meyer and FItle to positions on his clerical staff. . Meyer was bookkeeper and was to draw $90 a month, the same salary paid to FItle. Follmer, Eaton and FItle testified that on the day when the new force took possession of the office they had held a Consultation In Follmer's office at which It was agreed that FItle and Meyer should each pay one-third of his salary to one J. I Graves, who had been chief clerk under the former administration and was In a position to post them as to the work of the department. He was to stay during the month of January for that purpose. Meyer denied on the stand that he ever agreed to any such proposition. When pay day came around FItle paid over $30 to Graves, In the vault of the of fice. Evidently Meyers bucked, for It was at this time, according to his complaint, when Eaton butted in and Insisted that he pay Graves one-third of his salary. Meyer testified that Eaton took hold of him roughly and told him he must pay over the money, otherwise that, having full author ty from Mr. Follmer, he would discharge him. Meyer did pay, as he says, under duress, but this Eaton flatly denied. Last October Meyer, who has since quit the state house to practice law, brought the suit, but It haa hung fire until the pres ent time. After hearing the evidence yes terday Judge Vlnsonhaler acceded to the re quest of plaintiff's counsel, William F. Gur ley, that he be allowed time to present authorities bearing on the question, and the final hearing of the case will be had on January 24. Attorney H. C. Brome, for de fendant, said he did not care to argue the case unless plaintiff's counsel presented some -new matter at the date set. Meyer went Into the office of Mr. Follmer from Platte county and on the stand yes terday Mr. Eaton testified that he bad recommended Meyer for appointment CARING FOR THE YOUNG MEN Her. Father McGovern Lectures the Knights of Colombas on the Work of Their Order. Rev. P. A. McGovern of St. Phllomena's church lectured last night at Crelghton col- lego hall on the subject of "The Care of Our Young Men." The lecture was given under the auspices of the lecture course of the Knights of Columbus. "The young men of today are the hope or the future," said Father McGovern. "The youth of the present is the model of his maturer years, turning to good or evil In our hands. There are two forces governing this problem of young men. They are the positive and the negative. The first Is that of passion. The world's code of morals Is not always in harmony with the Christian principle. The young man whose principles are not grounded in the church soon suc cumbs. "The negative or second force Is a lack of proper instruction, a lack of understanding and of the will. The story of the prodigal Is often repeated, but without the happy ending of the gospel story. Our duty Is to surround our youth with safeguards to pro. tect their future. Organize our young men that they may stand together. Provide them with good company. Prevent evil associa tions by providing them with good com pany. Provide for legitimate amusement, and this I understand Is the purpose of the society under whose auspices this lecture Is given. The church places great hope In this and kindred organizations. What we most need In this great metropolis Is a club house In which our young men can meet, surrounded by healthful and wholesome In fltienccs for their moral and physical good. Simply a Catholic clubhouse for Catholic young men to save them from the enures that are set foV their feet. We need a good Catholic circulating library. These are merely suggestions. But to theorize is not to act. The day of the onl axiom. 'I am not my brother's keeper," has passed. You are your brother's keeper." SLOAN SAIDT0 HAVE QUIT Report that 1'nlted States romaili. sloner at Teuder Has Handed la Resignation. A rumor Is circulated about the federal building that United States Commissioner Thomas L. Sloan of Pender haa tendered his resignation to Judge Munger and that the resignation haa been accepted. Judge Munger Is out of the city at present and the report cannot be verified, but semi official advices confirm the report Com mlseloner Bloan was the representative of the government Department of Justice for the Omaha Indian reservation.

Mills Confirmed as If ember of Pari Boari GAS COMPANY BUILDING PLANS THWARTED lsth Ward Residents Who Objert to Storaae Plaat Win by eeorlag Passage of Ordinance to Cover Polat. George T. Mills has been confirmed by a majority of the council as a member of the Park board, although for a time It looked as though the appointment would fall by lack ot one vote, due to the tardy arrival of Councilman Nicholson. After Back and Schrocder by voting against the appointment had caused a 4 to 8 vote, Huntington arrived, the action was T- considered and with the votes of Zlm man, Nicholson, Evans and Hoye Mr. Mills was confirmed. In the effort to save the appointment Nicholson obtained a call of the house, but this was raised after a few minutes In order that business might pro ceed. Citizens In the vicinity of Twenty-second and Burdette streets who have been fight lng the proposed location of a gas storage plant there by the Omaha Gas company won a victory by the passage of Council man Evans' ordinance forbidding the erec tion or remodeling of any buildings, tanks, reservoirs or other receptacle for the manufacture or storage of gas with out the written consent of all property owners within a radius of 1,000 feet to be filed with the building Inspector before a permit Is issued. This measure, it Is thought, will forestall the new plant, which is objected to by the residents. The com' pany already has the ground staked out for the buildings. Street Work Will Walt. The appointment of seventy-one laborers and teamsters in the public works depart mcnt was turned down by the council by the negative votes of Zimman and Schroe' der. The board contemplated putting tho men to work on the streets In the near future on the strength of the 1806 levy. By resolution all heads of city hall de partments will have to submit to the council a list of all employes In their offices, giving the wages paid and the duties performed. Each councilman Is to have a copy, and be equipped with the information in deciding upon amounts to be requested by the departments to pay expenses for the year. The move Is said to be in the direction of close Investigation, if not retrenchment with regard to all city hall jobs. The appearance of more than a score of women in the council chamber during the afternoon was heeded by the adoption of a resolution requesting the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis tt Omaha and Missouri Pacific railroads to keep the crossing on Ohio street, between Fourteenth and Fit teenth, free from cars In order to allow a passageway for residents eaBt of the tracks. The women composed part ot these residents and complained that the roads persisted In leaving cars standing upon the crossing, forcing them and their children on their way to school to walk a number of blocks In either direction to find a placa to cross. The resolution directs the chief of police to enforce the order. Announcements of the Theaters. Two performances today, matinee and evening, close the engagement of "Ser geant Kitty" at the Boyd theater. It will be followed by what Manager Burgess looks upon as one of the strongest attrac tions he will have to offer this season, the engagement of C. Lawrence D'Orsay, the noted English comedian, In "The Earl of Pawtucket," by Augustus Thomas. This play was offered first in New York at the beginning of last season and ran during the entire winter and then through the whole summer as well, something rare In the history of an American comedy. On Its tour this season It has been equally suc cessful. The engagement Is for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and a matinee on Saturday. "I like it better than any other show I have seen at the Orpheura this season," expresses a prevailing opinion of the vaude ville bill on for this week. From beginning to end the show is marked by excellence and every act on the program Is scoring big. Tretty women add their charm to the excellence of the performance. Among the attractive beauties Is dainty and pretty Augusta Glose; that beautiful and sweet young blonde, Miss Marguerite Keeler, and ever bright and rollicking Flo Adlcr. A matinee will be given on Thursday. Madame Melba and her company will ar rive In Omaha tomorrow and will rest a day prior to the concert at the Auditorium on Friday night The demand for seats at the Auditorium has not lagged from the first day. Yesterday was one of two best days' sales since the opening last Friday. The great building will be tilled with one of the largest and finest audiences ever seen in Omaha and the indications point to a complete clean-up of scats before the famous singer comes before her audience on Friday night. There are still many very desirable seats both upstairs and on the main floor, however, and the sale will un doubtedly continue good to trie very last. Christian Church Entertainment. There was a vocal. Instrumental and literary entertainment at the Grant Street Christian church Tuesday evening, with Miss Marguerite Brown as violinist, Miss Gertrudu Elbert as banjolst anil Miss Evers as accompanist. Lucille Hill fang a solo, and for nn encore sang a duet with her plster. Miss Nina Hill. Esther Gilford and Verna Sewcll recited. Carrie Ileadley and Esther GilTord sang a duet.

Co., 16th NO WEDDING BELLS FOR HER Mrs, Eeed'g Name Not Tet Changed to that of Cook. COURT STEPS IN WHERE CUPID FAILS- Judge Vlnsonhaler laanea Writ of Habeas Corpus and Matter Will Be Heard In Full Thla Morning;. Charles Cook had not succeeded In marry ing Mrs. Matilda A. Reed at a late hour last night, and the nurse In charge of Mrs. Reed reports that so far as she knows no attempt has been made by Cook to marry Mrs. Reed other than the one made Monday night. Cook called at the house during the evening, but was not admitted to the room of Mrs. Keed, nor did he ask to see her, he being content with Inquiring about the condition of the sick woman. Mrs. Reed was In about the same condi tion last evening as she haa been for tho last few days, and It la thought that tho excitement of last night did not have any serious effect upon her. She has a mar ried daughter living at Denver and she Is expected to arrive in the morning. Cook was not to be seen last evening, so It Is not known what action he will take further than the writ of habeas corpus which he secured yesterday after noon. Kawcett & Abbott, as attorneys for Cook, sued out a writ of habeas corpus for Mrs. Matilda A. Reed, whom Cook had taken out a license to marry the day before. The marriage was prevented by Mrs. Reed's Bon, Ernest Ward, who barricaded the home of his mother at lhll Cass street and would not allow anybody to enter. In his petition Cook sets out that Mrs. Reed Is confined to her bed by sickness and In addition is unlawfully and illegally deprived of her liberty. Ho alleged that Mrs. Keed Is of sound mind and perfectly capable and competent to manage her own business. Vlnsonhaler Crania Writ. Judge Vlnsonhaler granted tho writ and made It returnable at 4 o'clock. At that hour Captain Neve, whom Sheriff Power had sent to serve the writ, came Into court with Krncut Ward. He reported that he had placed Mrs. Reed in charge of Mrs. Prllchard, the nurse who haa been attending her. Ward asked time to get his attorney and called in C. J. Smyth, who asked for time until t o'clock this morning to make a return to the writ. This the court granted, plaintiff's attorney consenting. This out of the way, Cook, who was in court, asked the Judge If he could not visit the house, as he made his home there. Judge Vlnsonhaler said he thought there would be no objection, If It waa true that Cook made his home there, and the parties left the court room with that understand ing. Cook said, while waiting the coming of tho deputy sheriff and Ward, that Mrs. Reed is partially able to be about the house. She is troubled with a bunion on the big toe Joint of ber left foot, and In paring It had cut too deeply, with the re sult that blood poisoning set In. This made It necessary for her to be confined to ber bed and have a nurse. In the marriage license Issued on Tues day the ages of the parties are given as U for Mrs. Reed and 3s for Cook. Many Matrimonial Adventures. Mrs. Reed haa lived hi Omaha and South Omaha for many years and haa figured In several sensational matrimonial caaea. Twenty-two years ago she and James Bonner were expelled from the Methodist church by Riv. ti.trles W. bavldge, afto. a celebrated church trial. The trial at tracted more than local Interest. "Little Mac," then editor of tie Omaha Watch man, wrote a lengthy poem of. the trial.

Soon after the trial she married Archie Ward, an Englishman, working In the Union Facile shops. Ward la "aid to hav btn connected In the church trial. The woman's next matrimonial venture was with John Reed, now engineer at fire engine house No. 2, on Tenth street. She was married to Reed about eighteen years ngo at the northeast corner of Fourteenth and Capitol avenue. Captain Dunn of the police pays he remembers the wedding dis tinctly, the feature of which event was an attempt on the part of Ward, the bride's former husband, to break Into the cere monies and create a disturbance. A divorce was secured from Reed a number of years ago. For several years Mrs. Reed has maintained a boarding house at 1811 Cass street. Attention, 1). of H.
