FIVE-DOLLAR RATE APPEALS TO PUBLIC
Milwaukee Rond Hat Sot Vet An
lOaarrd It Intention, bt It Sf'mi
Certain that tnmethtna Will
Break Loose Later.
The rate war sem to be t a standstill,
although there la still another week for
aomethlng to break loose In the strife for
the people who are going to Milwaukee to
attend the Woodmen' convention. Four
roads have announced a fxre if tj to Chi
cago and return, the Burlington, Rock
Island. Chicago Great Western and the
Illinois Central. The Northwestern has
given It out that It will not participate in
the cut. but will he satisfied to haul the
"Woodmen to Milwaukee on an Pi basis
from Lincoln. The Milwaukee has said
nothing, hut from the winks that float
round It mny be that It intends to cut
loose before the week Is over.
There Is no way to estimate the number
Of people who will be attracted by the
15 rate to Chicago, hut If one Is to Judge
from the Inquiries at the ticket ofTices and
from the conversations one hears on the
treet cars and street corners It would
rem that one-half of the town Intends go
ing to Chleago next Saturday.
Pome of the retail merchants have regis
tered a kick nnnlnst the wholesale exodus.
Claiming that, while people can buy Just as
Chenply In Omnha. there will be a world
of money spent by whoppers when they go
to Chicago that should be spent In this
rlty. The railroads hIho claim that there
ll no 'money for them In these kinds of
excursions, n class of people goes who are
not lined to travel and they are far more
liable to accident than the usual run of
traveler.
Other Rate Wars Recalled.
There have been many passenger rate
war in the past and some were so far back
that the oldest Inhabitant has nearly for
gotten all about them. About twenty years
ago, when the Santa Fe was about com
pleted and there was some sort of a con
vention at Ban Francisco, the I'nlon Pacific
undertook to carry passengers from Omaha
to Pan Francisco and return for Jo. The
cene at the old cattle shed that served
for o many year a a union depot for
Omaha wore never to be forgotten by those
mho had occasion to be there. Stebblns
was general ticket agent of the I'nion Pa
cific and J. K. Chambers was selling tickets
at the window. The room was always
jammed with people who stood hack and
waived their 15 bills, calling they "wanted
one of them." The tickets ran out and sub
stitute were used In the shape of a small
card ticket, similar to those sold to Fa
pllllon, which was good for a round trip.
Several years ago, on the occasion of
the Nebraska foot hall game at Minne
apolis, there was quite a merry war for
the business. The Northwestern and Rock
Island made a rate of $.? for the round
trip from Lincoln to Minneapolis. The
Burlington, not having a direct line, did
not participate In the cut, but maintained
the rate at 18.50. After the Northwestern
and Rock Island had filled all their own
coaches and all that they could borrow
from other roads, there wa atill a large
number of people who wished to go. Then
was when the Burlington stepped in and
got the gravy. The Burlington hauled 6S2
people at 18.60 apiece. The other roads
hauled 1,200.
A rate was made at one time by the
Northwestern of $1 from Omaha to Chi
cago and return, and year ago the
Diagonal, a It wa than called now the
Chicago, Great- Western made a rate of
II from Council Bluffs to Chicago and re
turn. These tickets could only be bought
at certain places, and there was quite a
skirmish to get them.
Low rates have been made by the Bur
lington from Omaha to Denver and re
turn, and a few year ago there wa a
rate In connection with the Klondike busi
ness by which a passenger, by paying full

One War that Flsslea.
Joe Teahon, traveling passenger agent
of the Wabash, tell of a rata war In
Omaha that flxiled out. About seventeen
years ago the Northwestern ticket office
wa In Its present location and the
Wabash ticket office wa located where
the Burlington now I. The national con
vention of the Knight of Pythlaa wa
to be held In Cincinnati. Th Wabash wa
then called the Wbash, St. Iuls A Pa
cific and Frank E. Moore was the local
agent and H. E. Babcock w agent for
the Northwestern. The rate one way to
Cincinnati wa $1.60, and Bsbcock cut the
rate to $10 for the round trip, and had a
huge sign printed nnd stretched aero the
sidewalk, telling the dear public that here
was the official route and headquarter for
the Knights of Pythias. He wa called
down y the head officials of the road
at Chicago, who wired that they were
satisfied to get 50 cent for crossing the
bridge from every person that the Wabash
hauled. Babcock was therefore obliged to
take down hi sign and he carried It over
to Moore, who put It up and hauled the
people at $15 per for the round trip.

OMAHA LEADS CITIES IN GAIN
Eastern Publication Prints Rnlldlne-
Statistics Highly Complimentary
to the Nebraska Metropolis.
In the latest Issue of the Construction
News, a real estate Journal published in
New York City, there Is published a brief
resume of the building records for twenty-
nine of the principal cities In the United
States. This shows the Increase and de
crease of the building record for the
month of May of the present year aa com
pared with the records of the same month
a year ago. The report shows that Omaha
has made a gain of 1S3 per cent over the
record made a year ago, which is 82 per
cent more than the next highest city In
rank, which Is Cleveland, O.
Out of the twenty-nine cities whose rec
ord Is published only seven how a de
crease. The largest decrease la at Tacoma,
which shows a railing off of 41 per cent
over the month of May during the year
1904.
The record for Baltimore shows a falling
olt of IS per cent, which, according to the
Construction News. Is due to the conflagra
tion In that city over a year ago. In New
York, Manhattan and the Bronx a falling
off of 19 per cent Is shown. San Francisco,
New Orleana and Pittsburg are among the
cities which show a decrease. The com
pilation Indicates that Omaha Is keeping
up its pace among the leading cities 1 the
country In the effort to upbuild and rank
high among the cities of the United States.
FINE HOME TO BE ERECTED

dwellings erected and being erected in
Omaha. Mrs. John A. Harbach will have

successful contractor secures the Job. Bids

This building Is to stand at Thirty-second
and Dodge streets and will become the
home of Mrs. John O. Bourke and daugh
ters. Mrs. Bourke Is th daughter of Mr.
Harbach. She Is now In th east where
her daughters are attending or being grad
uated front school.
The Union Pacific railroad ha com
menced making Improvement In the vicin
ity of N etreet. Under an agreement en
tered Into with the city some twenty year
go the Union Pacific owns the west thirty
three feet of Railroad avenue from tlio
depot to about W street. A large force of
men worked Friday laying an additional
track along the company' property on
Railroad avenue from Q etreet north to
the north line of N street. This new track
I to be used for a city track. The etonu
pavement had to be torn up In order thut
the tracks might be put down, and a great
many people wondered what was to be
come of the paving blocks. Inquiry at
the city engineer's office resulted In the
Information that at the time Railroad ave
nue was paved the I'nlon Pacific paid for
this thirty feet and that the company can
do what It pleases with the paving stones.
In addition to the laying of this city trade
a fence la being built. Up to noon Satur
day the fence had been completed on tho
east side of the tracks from W street to
the Q etreet viaduct. As fast as carpen
ters finished a stretch of fence painters
followed and put a coat of paint on the
fence. The city track now being laid is
to be east of the fence which Is to be bul'.t
from L street to W street. This Is done
In order that cars of merchandise destln-d
to merchants here may be under the pro
tection of the local police force and watch
men. At all times of the day and night
such cars will be In plain sight and the
breaking into cars standing on the track
will lie considerably lessened.
When the fence Is completed cars to be
set on the city track will be let through a
gate near the Q street viaduct and can
be run north nearly to the present depot.
The east portion of the pa-ement on Rail
road avenue as far south as the Q street
viaduct will be left Intact and cars can be
loaded and unloaded at any time.
It was reported on the street last even-
ng that the fencing gang would work to
day so as to complete the fence to the L
street yladuct. This fence Is a tight board
structure about ten feet high and will have
a couple of strands of barb wlre on lop
so as to prevent people from crossing the
tracks at N street and to keep all unau
thorized persons out of the railroad yards.
By the moving of the city track to the
east room will be made for a storage track
on the west side of the fence. As it is now
the railroad yards are crowded, and every
additional block or two of tracks helps out.
More Bad Check.
Saturday two more bogus checks, alleged
to have been passed by John Slvlnskl,
turned up and are now In the hands of the
police. Both are for $21.60 and were passed
on liquor dealers. The holders of the
checks called at police headquarters and
identified Slvlnskl as the man who secured
the money on the bogus checks. The
checks were the same as those passed a
week ago when Slvlnskl was arrested and
bound over to the district court In the sum
of $500. Frank Woods, the supposed part
ner of Slvlnskl, Is again in Jail. Captain
Shields is satisfied that Woods had some
thing to do with the stealing of the blank
checks from Lobman A Rothchllds' office
at the exchange. When Slvlnskl was first
tried Woods was held as an accomplice
but was discharged by Judge King. The
polce have told Woods that no matter
how often Judge King releases him he
Will be Immediately arrested again unless
he leaves the city and stays away.
Brick Still Scarce.
On account of the scarcity of brick
Parks, Johnson & Parks, who have the
contract for building the addition to the
Corrlgan school, have been compelled to
lay of! their men temporarily. George
Park said yesterday that during the com
ing week he expected to be able to get
brick so that he could go ahead with the
building of the school house. This ad
dltlon is now above ground, and the only
delay Is caused by the lack of brick. All
of the brick yards in South Omnha and
vicinity are working overtime and before
long a big crop of brick Is expected.
Locating; I'nlon Paclfle Depot.
It lr understood that the mayor and mem
bers of the city council have agreed that
the proposed Union Pacific depot be located
at the O street viaduct. Railroad men say
that It was the Intention, when the O
street vladilct was constructed, to locate
the depot so as to connect with the O
street bridge. There Is a desire on the
part of N street property owners to have
the depot remain In Its present location,
but as the ground where the depot now
stands Is wanted for trackage It looks very
much as If a depot, when built, will be
erected at O street.
Stock Receipts Light Saturday.
Receipts at the stock yards Saturday
were the lightest for a long time. Only
eighteen head of cattle came In, and no
sheep or horse's were received. Hog re
ceipts were heavier than expected, the
total being 8,447 head. One remarkable in
cident was that no cattle or sheep arrived
billed through. One well known live stock
dealer gave as the reason for the light
receipts that the packer were training thu
commission men not to handle stock on
Saturday, nd In turn the dealer here
were sending word to their customers In
the country not to ship live stork to ar
rive here on Saturday. The object of this
Is to make a three or four day a week
market. The totals given out at the stock
yards Office Saturday show a decrease in
cattle and hogs and an Increase In sheep
receipts. ,
Board of Review.
Monday night the city council will be
expected to confirm the appointment of two
members of the Board of Review. Both

have several names to suggest and a
meeting Of the council will be held In com
mittee on Monday afternoon to agree upon
two men to serve on this board. The mayor
has the appointment of one member, the
city treasurer the other. Both of these
appointments must be approved by the
council. The city tax commissioner Is the
third member. The Board of'Revlew holds
session dally between June 15 and June 23
to listen to complaints and adjust assess
ments. Tax Commissioner O'Nell has
sbout completed his work. His deputies

CIRCUS COMES WITH MORNING
Small Boy and the Bigr One Will Be
on Hand to See the White
City HUc,
The four special trains bearing the Adam
Forepaugh-Sell Brothers circus arrives In
Omaha early this morning, and before the
church bells cease ringing a magic city of
twelve large white tents will be in evi
dence. Old Adam Forepaugh left a great show
behind him, bearing his name. In the
course of time It was consolidated with
the Sells Brothers' show, also a great one.
And now the entire outfit Is under the
Joint and equal proprietorship of the fa
mous Rlngllng Brothers and Mr. James A.
Bailey, both names to conjure with In the
circus world.
The white city, which comes but for a
day, now shelters thousands of men and
horses, and is a source of never-ending
wonder to Americans. It represents, per
haps, the highest type of organisation and
system in the world. An army may come
and go; It takes days and weeks for Its
maneuvers, but an Immense circus moves
without a hitch; its canvas houses are
errcted; its people take part in a grand
pageant which covers a route miles long,
give two performances and', with the last
act, pack their appurtenances and fly away
at night to arise hundreds of miles away
to repeat the task, all within twenty-four
hour.
Today the center of Interest will be In
the vicinity of Twentieth and aul streets,
where the show will make Its home for
nearly forty-eight hours. It will be a
field day for fun and sightseeing. The
usual crowds will congregate and watch,
with amazement, the numberless stake
driving gangs and other circus work that
has ever possessed a peculiar charm for
the visitor. The small boy ran get his
first real peep at what he hopes to see
In full on the morrow. He has for weeks
been watching the billboards with all of a
small boy's enthulam for uch things
and today they will have an opportunity
orovlded they are experts at water-carry
lng, of seeing the exact counterparts of
the Btrange beings which are portrayed
on the gaudy posters.
Augmented by a half shipload of rare
wild beasts from the forests and Jungles
of faraway climes, the zoological depart
ment of the Forepaugh-Sells show Is now
said to stand without an equal.
Under the big arenlc tent science and
beauty have been commanded to serve and
novelty la seen on every hand. Biuaeni
of modern history may get Joy from the
study of a peculiar condition that exists
in the circus. The Wolkowsky troupe of
Cossack dancers and troubadour, fourteen
In number, and the Klshlzunas (Royal
i. .,.. o ntertalners. have rormea a
runiv alliance, which has been a marvel
to all others of the great tented aggrega
tion. The actor of each nationality follow
the war news from the far east wun in
tense interest, and they hope and pray for
the success of their own armies, but bet-
ter nersonal friends, apparently, never ex
lsted. The Wolkowskys are maains w.-..
first long tour outside the czar s aomain.
ml the Jans have been on American
hut a few weeks.
The tallv-ho feature of the program is
perhaps one of the most unique equestrian
rti.nlavs ever seen In the sawdust arena.

On Friday afternoon the alumnae of the
Mercy convent and schools In Omaha held
their annual exercises and banquet at
Mount 8alnt Mary' seminary, Fifteenth
and Castellar streets. The program opened
In the chapel, with a baccalaureate sermon
by Rev. P. F. McCarthy. Father McCarthy
took for his subject the ultimate end and
aim of our existence, emphasizing In his
usual clear, concise style the manner of
life we should adopt In this world In order
to realize our Creator's promise In the
future.
Benediction followed, tho alumnae them
selves chanting the familiar benediction
hymns. A business meeting was then called,
at which the members chose as their colors
blue, white and gold. The following offi

day," which was read at last year's meet-
ng.
Alnmnl Women Respond to Toaat.
Miss I.uclnda Lundstrom of the class of
'08, addressed a welcome to the members of
the alumnae. During the progress of the
banquet the following toasts were re
sponded to: "The Alumnae," Miss Made
line O'Connor; "Our Reverend Guests,"
Miss Veronica O'Connor; "The First Sehor
Days." Miss May Whalen; "The Sister of .
Mercy," Miss Anna Rush; "Woman," Miss i
Margaret O'Brien. Miss Catherine Sehall

Mrs. C. H. Gould Bang Cowen's "The Swal
lows." Miss Etta Crelghton was the pianist
of the occasion. .
Each of the fathers present was called i
pon to make a few remarks. Father
O'Connor of Crelghton university, respond-
ng with a most eloquent congratulatory
speech, In which he commended the sisters
for their efforts toward making the alumnae
meeting an event of keenest pleasure each
year, and concluded with a reminder to the
members of the association that In the en-
oyment of this pleasure they must not for
get the constant toil and tender solicitude
of the nuns during the years that they were
compelled to carry on their great work of
education, while the heavy cares of building
up their schools weighed on sensitive
hearts.
The meeting of the alumnae each rear
takes place before the graduates of that
year have disbanded, thus binding closelv
together the old and the young.

she has endured trials that would break
the spirit of the lay teacher; and her en
durance was born of a tender solicitude
ror our welfare. She returned to her diffi

combat with her natural Inclination to
abandon the wayward pupil to her own
wilfulness. We have seen her wrestle with
the dullard, when the only hope of com
pensation lay In the gradual awakening
of the slow brain, not In the prospect of
wie unerai salary mat spurs on the lay
teacher.
But most have we marveled when thl
finely fibred, hlghlv cultured woman has
met her duty unresistingly In her contact
with the vulgar natures that are found In
every schoolroom. To her each child s soul
is a pure, white thing that should retain

keep It so. She may have to counteract
the baneful Influences that emanate from
low home surroundings. She must engender

Worldly people who have noted the evo

of one of these schools, from the crud
little child whose animal passions com
pletely ruled her, do not appreciate the
subtle Influences that were at work during
those years of adolescence. But we know
how often our teachers had to check our
Impatience with words of encouragement
when their own hearts were sorely tried.
We remember that when a stinging rebuke
was deserved, we received only the gentlest
admonition.
Anotner truth we have come to know.
that the Sisters of Mercy encountered all
the many great difficulties attendant upon
the establishing of convent schools with
out any aid financially from the outside
world. All their means ot livelihood lay In
their own constant efforts. No wealthy
Mother House extended friendly encourage
ment In time of need. Thus Is their pres
ent prosperity a monument to their In
dustry, and a proof that am educator they
did not lack business ability.
May we always be loyal to them, as
they sre to the least of the many pupils
who have left their care. May we live to
see Mount St. Mary's send forth a host of
devoted alumnae every year.
"The Sister of Mercy." To most of us
the thought recalls the loved face of some
especial favorite: to most of us It Is a
reminder that our truest friends are In th
cloister, and to all of us does It serve as
a spiritual tonic, awakening our old r

Dear Dr. Branaman: "Tf you wish to change my medicine you will

I was troubled with asthma for twenty-five years. I would choke
up, wheeze, could not breathe at night, had to sit up all night many
times. The onlv relief was from burning and Inhaling asthma
remedies, after' which I could cough up and breathe easier. I was

beside the rail proceeded to roll a cigarette
while he called loudly for help. After hi
