ACTION FOLLOWS ANNOUNCEMENT OF IVES lafareaee la Roads Will Her fter PablUfe. No Throatk lUtto to Coast , bat Will Adopt Two Locals. Following the announcement of D. O. Jves. traffic manager of the Wabash, that Ms road would continue the 19-cent rate on corn to New York as long as the Milwau kee kept In the 18-cent rate to Baltimore from Omaha comes the announcement from Chicago that the western, roads have agreed to go back to the established rate after January 15. This Is said to mean the roads will here after publish no through rate to the coast, but will go back to the combination of the two locals, which will make the rate from Omaha to Baltimore Ett cents. It had been announced that after the roads had flnlshr-d up their contracts under the pres ent cut rates the- rate would be aVi cents to Baltimore with a differential of 8tt cents from Omaha and 4V4 cents from Kansas City in favor of the gulf ports, the rates to be the same from Kansas City and Omaha. This wilt make the differential a cent higher In favor of the gulf ports. The roads have therefore agreed "to skin the tariff back" and all have promised that when the present contracts are Oiled they will be good. Last Day of Grace. FYldav was the last day of grace for the filing of the notice of the discontinuance of the cut and the Information conies In the form stated above. Corn Is Just starting to movo In good shape and the advanced rate will check It for a little while, according to a prominent railroad freight man, but when the farmers see the basis Is perma nent and they must ltfse that little on their corn they will again let go. Last year there was considerable corn, but It was short In some sections, so the railroads hauled It back and forth to the feeders, but this year all stations have corn to dis pose of. The new arrangement of the Northwest ern to ship grain to the gulf ports via the Illinois Central, transferring the grain at Dixon, 111., gives another route to the coast for Nebraska grain. The Burlington has Just such a route, shipping grain to Cen tralla and there turning It over to the Illi nois Central. This Is a better exchange point for the Burlington, as it escapes the crowded terminals at Bast St. Louis. The Burlington contemplates extending Its road from Herrln, Its present southern terminus In Illinois, to Cairo, a Junction point with many roads and the point from which all southwestern rates are based. The rats of 18 cents is the Bame rate which the Mis souri Pacific has to the south and the same as the Milwaukee has from Omaha to Bal timore. This Is looked upon as a good move on the part of the Northwestern, because It will get Just that much longer haul on Its corn which originates west of Omaha than If It would let loose at Omaha. Gives Hill Short Line. The building of the Ashland-Sloux City line by the Great Northern, which will be operated in conjunction with the Burling ton, will give that road the short line be tween Lincoln and Sioux City and between Fremont and Bloux City. This naturally will cause a readjustment of the present rates, but this will not be of a radical na ture. The freight tariffs have been worked out as well as the passenger rates. The building of this line will effect soma changes In the rates between Linooln and the northwest, but they will not be very great. The Burlington will be the short route and rates always are based upon the short mileage. The passenger rate from Lincoln to Sioux City will be $3.90, as against the present rate of 84.60, and rates from points east and weBt of Sioux City will be based upon this new figure. , Railway Notes and Personals. General PnsHenger Agent Wakeloy of the Burlington has gone to Chicago. The Union Pacific has a large force of men at work putting In the Capitol avenue switch track under the ordinance granted by the city council giving It that right. Fred Montmorency, assistant general freight agent of the Burlington, has re turned from Kansas City, where he at tended a meeting of the Tramnpissourl Freight bureau. Western roads are asked for bids for hauling two batteries of troops from Fort Russell to San Francisco. The horses and equipment will go to Seattle for shipment to the Philippines, while the men will go to Ban Francisco. Gerrlt Fort and E. L Lomax of the pas senger department of the Union Pacific, attended a banquet In Chicago Thursday to Charles F. Dalley, former pasDenger traffic manager of the Luke Shore, who goes to accept a similar position with the New York Central. SOLOMON BOY SURRENDERS Lad Who Escaped from Detention Homo Gives Vp Self to tho Authorities. Arnold Solomon, who escaped from the Detention home last August, where he was serving a sentence of fifteen days, surren dered himself to the probation officers Fri day afternoon. He has been in Utah since shortly after escaping from the home here. It Is now loamed he got Into trouble out there, was sent to the reform school and but recently escaped. The Utah authorities have demanded the custody of the boy, and It Is thought he surrendered himself here In hope of avoiding being returned to Utah. Saturday morning young Solomon was be fore Judge Kennedy In the Juvenile court, but a decision on his case was reserved. He will be 16 years old on January 23 and will then be out of the jurisdiction of the Juvenile court- Tour of Old Meslao.

TWO REASONS FOR DEARTH Davidson TeUs Whr mall Xnmbor of Teachers staad for ELs- Superintendent Davidson accounts for ths small number of teachers standing for the certificate examinations of the Omaha pub lio schools by two reasons. Only sixteen took the tests for grade certificates and six for the high school, and the average of work was below par. "The first cause lies In the fact that mall cities and towns are paying higher w&ei to keep their teachers," said the superintendent. "The smaller communities at last have realised that if they are to keep their best instructors from the bettor advantages of the large cities they must pay more money. One of the applicants at the examination this week while here received notice of an advance of 85 a month. This Is a fair Illustration of my point. "The second cause Is that Omaha has been culling the most ambitious and bright est young women from throughout the state and western Iowa for the examina tions for several years. It Is possible that right now the cream of the material pos sesses our certificates and we must wait for a second crop. i "No serious results to the local schools ake to be apprehended, however, unless the situation grows much worse." BUSINESS FOR NEW BOARD Bids for County Printing; and Sap plies to Be Before Commis sioners on Tuesday. After meeting and organizing next Tues day morning the Board of County Commis sioners will proceed to open the dozen or more bids for county printing already In the hands of County Clerk Haverly. These bids were all put In before January .1 to comply with the statutory requirement. As the many bids for supplies to be used by the county during 1908 have already been tabulated and canvassed by the commission ers, It Is not unlikely that they, too, will be taken up for consideration. The matter of appointments to be made by the board Is not expected to recelvo much attention until after the commission ers have disposed of the yearly contracts, and any other business that may need early attention. In any event, before any action at all the various county officers will be given opportunity to present to the board their views as to the needs of their respec tive offices in the way of help. STRENUOUS MARRIED LIFE Two Couples Appear I'ndrr Limelight In Whose Career Something Seems to He Doing. William Bamlck married Katerlna away back In 1877 and they seem to have gotten along fairly well together until quite re cently. He has now instituted a suit for divorce, alleging cruelty. He specifies that January 2 she hit him In the face- with her fist. In the divorce complaint of Ethel A. Schlank against Isaac It Is the wife who says she has been abused and maltreated by the husband. She alleges he has blacked her eyes, made her nose bleed, knocked her down and kicked her and then tipped a table over on her. They were married here In September, 1901, and she wishes to re sume her maiden name of Stowers. CARELESS BOY IS SENT AWAY Placed In State Industrial School at . . Kearney Because of In. ', corrlglblllty. Tracy Barnum, adjudged guilty of Incor rigibility In the Juvenile court, is to be sent to the' State Industrial school at Kearney without an officer. He will travel to his destination on honor and a railroad ticket and will deliver himself up to the superin tendent at Kearney to remain until he Is &, unless released sooner. Toung Barnum Is simply careless In keeping his promises to behave himself and keep away from bad company. He Is the second boy to be sent to Kearney without an attendant, and since the first lad delivered his person to the authorities "In accordance with law Chief Probation Officer Bernstein advised that Barnum be given the same chance and Judge Kennedy agreed. FOR NEW LINE TO BELLEVUE Right-of-Way Granted by Sarpy County to Street Railway Company. The Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company has been granted the right to cross certain roads In Sarpy county by county commissioners of that county. This Is for tthe new line to Bellevue, for which the company has Its own right-of-way to Bellevue, but It is compelled to cross certain county roads, and for this the commissioners granted permission. The contracts for the grading have not been let and work will not be un dertaken until spring, and several con tractors have said they probably could fin ish the work Just as quickly If they did, not begin until after the frost was all out In the spring. TAXES ARE STILL COMING IN Payments Are Being; Received and Receipted For by Treasurer Hennlngs. That the public does not seriously ques tion the right of City Treasurer Hennlngs to act In that capacity, pending the settle ment of the charter case in the supreme court. Is shown by the continued payment of taxes and the acceptance of receipts for the same. Friday, the day sftes the con solidation with the country treasury was ordered by charter, 1808.54 was received in taxes In the treasurer's office, which is about the usual daily run at this period. Records for Year. The city build.ru department Is having leaflets printed showing the building record for the year, clasxlned. and comparisons of the totals with the two years before. The office has had so many demands for detailed Information from real estate men and others that It has decided to have the Information prepared In compact form. Copies may be had for the asking.

HOW TO NOMINATE COUNCILMEN QUESTION Opinion Differs as to Naming; Them from Wards or Selecting Them from City at Large. Notwithstanding the fact that the looal ; democratic organ announced a meeting of the republican city committee for Saturday to take up the question as to whether councllmen should be nominated by wards or at large, no meeting wilt be held. It Is true It Is the IntAtlon of Chairman Cowell to call the committee together but not until next week and probably on nent Saturday. The sole purpose of the session will be to thresh out the mooted point .about the nomination of councllmen. It Is not clear the city committee has any authority In the premises at all, since the primaries are In most respects under the direction of the city clerk, according to the new Dodge law, which Is to be tried In Omaha city politics for the first time. However, as the law Is silent regarding the choosing of councllmanlc candidates by wards or the entire city, not a few politicians and men of affairs' reason that in the absence of specific provision the party committee should and has the right to make the rules. Legal Opinion Asked. Attorneys have been asked by Chairman Cowell to look Into the matter carefully from a legal standpoint, so that when the committee meets there will be studied opinions to present. The chairman has had many calls from councllmanlc aspirants seeking to get his views on the point. The men who are classed as veteran politicians are generally In favor of nomination by wards. Those who are new at the game and claim to stand for reforms if various kinds, regardless of factionalism, prefer to try their chances with the whole town. One of the leaders of this squad is Presi dent Zimman of the council, who will try for a third term. The chairman of the committee Inclines rather towards the nomlnation-at-large Idea, although he has not definitely com mitted himself. He takes the view that a councilman of necessity represents the whole city and can't get away from the proposition; that therefore he should be nominated by all of the members of his party In the city. He thinks the opinion of City Attorney Breen a logical one. If the city clerk decides the "juration It will be In favor of nominations at large. Whoever decides it and whichever way It is decided, final adjudication probably will be In court, as the legal questions Involved make It quite possible to establish a case there for either side. But the committee meeting will be next week ; not today. OMAHA LEADS F0R THE YEAR Makes Biggest Percentage of Gain In Building of Any 1'nlted States City. Construction News for January 8 says: The building record for the year has been ciosea. it is in every way tne most satis factory that we Tiave ever had. Building has gone on uninterruDtedlv in everv cltv. town and village in the country and there is every indication mat it will continue tor a long time to come. Of the twenty-Blx cities only four show decreases, and these were In no sense ma terial San FTanclsco, 8 per cent; Milwau kee, 30; Atlanta. 33; Des Moines, 58, and Davenport, 8. The Increases were In many Instances phenomenal. Marked activity was noticeable In Omaha, the Increase being 451 per cent; Indianapolis, 342; New urieans, ais; DBiroii, hi; Cincinnati. ; Duluth, 114; Kansas City, 117: Rochester, vn : -roieao, iia; urana Kapms. as; at. Louis. Bh; Minneapolis. t, and urooKlyn, 43. New York's Increase was 2S per cent, Chicago 14 and Philadelphia 26. It will thus be seen that the greatest activity was In the smaller cities. MORE WAGES FOR TEACHERS Increased Salaries Will Be Taken Vv by the Board of Education. With the appointment of new committees the Board of Education Is expected to take up the request of teachers for Increased ! salaries Immediately and to work out the , matter to a conclusion. The petition Is In , the hands of the teachers' committee and Superintendent Davidson. The old commit tee held several meetings on the subject and discussed a number of the many phases to the question, the attitude being generally one of a willingness to advance salaries, but to what extent w'as not determined. Bo far no opposition has developed to granting the petition of the teachers in a "reason able" degree, and the only question to bo settled Is the definition of the adjective. GILLER'S ORDER OBJECTED TO Attorney Connell Will Prepare n New Form to Carry Out Terms of Sutton's Decision. Attorneys Connell and Oilier could not agree as to the form of the order to be made under Judge Sutton's decision In the gas contract case Saturday morning. Mr. Oilier had prepared an order, as directed by the court, but Mr. Connell contended that It was too broad and sweeping In Its terms and might have the effect of pre venting the gas company from lighting the streets pending final settlement of the case. This Mr. Ciller dented, and after consid erable cross-flrlng Mr. Connell took the Oilier order for the purpose of framing up one which shall conform with his view of the scope of the court's decision. He will submit the new order to the court on Mon day morning. Attention, Odd Fellows. Tou are requested to attend the funeral of Brother W. W.
