Officials and Merchants Claim They Are Favorable to This City— The Proposed Union De- pot—Railway Notes. Not Discriminatea Against, A morning paper, speaking editorially of the recent trip made by the boaraof trade to the Black Hills, said that the excursion would be of no avail, and dec d, in short, that the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val- ley was discriminating against Omaha, and in favor of Chicago and Sioux City. Mr. Dudl Smith, of the D. M company, said that this is not tru hat upon the other hand, the Fremont is the only road running out of Omaha which doos not make such discrimination. “With them,” snid he, “we stand upon an equality with Chicago, Sioux City, F'r ont and all other jobbing oities The rate from Owmaba to Vhitewood, fi 8, he continue ‘s and the rate from Omaha to Chicago 5 ents, the rate from Chicago to White- wood is the sum of these two rates, or $2.44, ing us upon an equality with Chicag , thero is nothing i that, more than an- other fling from the paper 1 auestion at the board of trade.” ““What's the matter with that paper, any- way!" asked Mr. Chapman of the same house. There's nothing in this thing. Take this statement for instance: The Omaha board of trade may excurse till the cows come home and nothing with a dollar mark will come of it. They may make personal friends and enjoy banquets, and drink champagne, and wax_cloquent, but they cannot induce the north vo patronize Omaha until Omaha can put its goods at the doors of the north at the price for which they can be secured from other ci W Now. that is ridiculous, as it can be proven that Omaha sells to the merchants of the Rinck Hills nine-tenths of ali the goods pur- used by them. Then tho idea of comparing Sioux _City and Fremont as cqual markets with Omahia! Fremont has one wholesale grocery house. The Sioux City and Fremont rates to Whitewood are the same as the rate from Omaha to Whitewood.” Speaking on the same svbject an attache of the general freight department_of the I're- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley said: “That is all bosh, Omaha, like Sioux City, has the Missouri river point rate from Chi: cago. Fremont has a higher rate than either, On first and second-class freight Omaha and Sioux City have a differential over Fremont of b cents per 100; third and_fourth-class, 4 cents, and all other classes 8 cents. Now, you can sce this is favorable to Omaha when its distance in difference from Chicago is oaly thirty-seven miles, “Now, on_freight from Omaha to points west of Norfolk on the Elkhorn road, the rate 18 the same as from Sioux City al- though the haul from Omaha is much longer than that from Sioux City. At Norfolk the rates equalize and so continue westward. Norfolk is seventy-five miles from Sioux ity while it is 119 from Omaha, thereby giving Omaha the benefit of an equal rate with Sioux City, although the haul is forty- four miles longer. 1s that inimical to Omaha? “Then again, on freight shipped to points in the territory in question from Chicago the rate 18 based on the sum of the two locals. For instance, a Chicago house ships freight to a house in Lincoln or any point west of the Missouri river. The rate on that freight would be composed or_the local rate between the Missouri river and Chicago and the local rate between the Missouri river and the point of destination. This you see puts Omaha on an equal footing with Chicago us regards the rail rates. It would be neither reasonable nor prudent for western roads to discriminate aganst its home institutions in the interests of fo gn ones, and with the present rate schedule all Omaha wholesalers need do to sccure the patronago of the dis- puted territory is to become acquainted and then reach out for its business. And let me say, to my own positive knowledge, this has been done to & large extent within the past year.” Omaha’s Union Depot. Kassas Crry, Mo, May 3.—|Special Telegram to Tie Bre.]—Plans and specifica- tions for the new union depot to be erected in Omaha were received by Van Brunt & Houwe, architects of this city, this morning. They are, however, subject to modification and alteration. Inan interview with your correspondent this morning Mr. Howe said that the Union Pacific and B. & M. railroads were those principally interested at present but in his opinion the new enterprise would be of such magnitude that all other roads centering in Omaha would take advantage of the facilities it would afford. The proposed union depot will be located near the present site of the old depot at Tenth and Mason streets. The plan most in favor are for a threestory building, 450x60 feet, fronting on Mason street, to cost from $350,000 to $500,000. The railway tracks will be onthe north side of the building ard the Tenth street viaduct will be reached by a stairway at the northwest corner of the depot. It will also be connected with the viaduct by a bridge twenty-two feet wide. A large clock tower is to bo located at the north end of the depot. While the depot prover is to cover 450x00 fect of ground, rail way tracks, driveways, etc., will oceuvy a space 600 or 700 feet long by 300 feet wide. Mr. Howe said that the plans received by him were but one set of half a dozen laid be- fore the Union Pacific officials. He expects o letter with full instructions ina few days, Grand Island and the Unfon Pacific, The committee from Grand Isiand, re ferred to in these columns Thursday, waited on Vice President Holcomb,of the Union Paciflc, in behalf of the shop employes and train facilities at that place. The committee advanced some strong arguments as to why the force in the shops should be restored to its original strength, the principal being that the great number of 'the cmployes were men of familics, and had iuvested thewr earnings in homes and property at that place. As to train_arrangements they asked that tho dircet connection and immediate service between that point and Omaha bo main- tained. President Holcomb, after complaint, ~ assured _the tee that the Union Pacifte et with all fawness in the matter to- ward Grand Island and all other points, and hearing commit- would that no change would be made in any re spect that was unwarranted. The Union Pacific shops at Grand Island is the port where the greater part of painting and vara- ishing of passenger rolling stock is done, but owing to the mildness of the winter this class of work has largely decreased. Rules Adopted. e Trans-Missouri association in session at Kansas City has adopted a setof rules regulating the making of rates by roads of that association, and also setting the date of meeting of the freight committea the first Tuesday of each mouth, Under the new rules two-thirds of the membvership of the association constitutes & quorum, and any action taken makes it binding on any and all roads of the association,whether represented at that meeting or not. Before any line can make a rate to meet that of a competitor the consent of the chairman of the association must be obtained. This is arranged for the purpose of preventing wndependent action y uny of the roads of the association. The New Train Schedule. The press reports sent out frow Chicago concerning the action of the Chicago roads in connection with the new time card being arranged, do not correspond with the reports received by the railway officials in this city The former cites that the Chicago roads failed to agree upon the connection time with the Union Pacific at Council Bluffs, Assist ant General Manuger Dickinson, of the Union Pucific, has received a telegraw stat ing that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago & Northwestern had agrood to the connecting time of the Union Pacilic at ineil Bluffs on its fast traiu, the Un Pacitic to arrive at 9 p, w., and the Chicago lines to make the time of the departure of THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY their trains east-bound frem Council Blufts at 8:40 p. m., arriving jn Chicago at 2 p. m., tho next day.

JOYHES, ANGRY EM Those of the County Experiencing a . Delay in Pay Day. The commissioners have stirred up a deep feeling of indignation among people who draw salaries from the county treasury. in the heat of passion and thirst for revenge, which has at various times characterized certain members of the board, th aw fit to pass a resolution that all bills be filed and held ten days before being paid. Asa con- sequence, employes caanot draw their stipends before the week after next and some of them are furicusly put out about it. Their monthty bills have come due, the grocery men are after them, they o no money to pay with and can't get credit. Consequently the situation is a seri- ous one. The board meets to-day, when all bills will be read, but, under the uew rule, they can not be collected under ten days. O'Keeffe's first resolution, with reference to this matter, excluded salaries, but Ander- son would not vote for it unless everything was included, therefore, in their eager efforts to put each other into a tight hole, the board bas invited left-hand- ed compliments and ncurred universal en- mity. il Tee cream, wholesale and retail, at Shallcross’, 120 No. 15th st.

The guests of the Grand hotel were recently discussing a card trick that was porformed thers that takes the palm for originality and that in its per- ant toilet formance is almost beyond belief, says the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazetto. Shortly before dinner last evening a of gentlemen, among whom were Veazey, William = MeCammon, Charles H. Kellogg. Jr., and Govern- ment Detective Kopmeier, gov in a dis- cussion about spiritualism. ~Mr. Veaz took the position that the mysterious workings of mediums were but tricks. Mr. Kellogg thought differently, and Mr. Veazey offered to wager that he could perform a card trick that would mystify those present and ene which they could in no manner explain. Mr. Kellogg nccepted the wa and Mr. Vea: told him to procure a deck of card: Mr. Kelloge, who is one of the best “Boston” players in the city and well 1in all card games, went out and hased a new deck of cards. Re- ing to the room Mr. Veazey turned his back and told him to shufile the 'ds thoroughly, This was done by . Kellogg _and then Mr. Veazey told him to spread the deck out on the table, select a card, and show it to those pres- ent. Kellogg drew a card and after looking at it handed it to Mr. Kop- meier. It was the four of clubs. With his back still turned Mr. Veazey told Kellogg to replace the card in the deck and then put them in his pocket. The cards being out of sight Veazey now turned andsaid: Telegraph to any friend you have in any part of the United States (New York, San Fran- cisco, St. Louis, Chicago, or any other place) and ask him whut card you have drawn from the deck.” The company present looked amazed at this proposition and Kellogg at first took itasa joke. He was assured by Veazey that he meant just what he said. In order that there could be nopossible collusion, Veazey agreed to remain with some of the guests until Kelloge should g0 out and send the dispateh, and until an answer was returned. Kellogg, in- stead of telegraphing from the hotel, walked to the Western Union telegraph office. On the way he tried to think of some friend who lived at a distance, and the name of the Hon.
