GETTING AFTER SCALPERS. Tho Object of the Western Roads’ Unlimited Ticket Bcheme, NO STOP-OVERS ON CHICAGO BUSINESS. < Whe Burlington's Deadwood Exten- slon—The Milwaukee Tele- graphers' Trouble—Notes and Personals, The passenger agents of roads running be- tween (icago and Omaha have been in- structed that tho saleof unlimived tickets each way between those points will be dis- continuel This action is in accordance with a schemoe wroposed by D, G. Edwards, general passen- gor agent of the Queen and Crescent route and a member of the Southern passenger association. Mr. Edwards suggested at a re- ting of that association that a limit 1 on all coupon tickets, instead of is- suing them unlimited, has has been done al- most entirely of late, Tho schieme met with theapproval of many of the passenger mon and has been thoroughly canvassed in the varlous passenger associations. It was a blow avthe scalping industry and was generall y recognized as & potent factor in the war against this powerfal enemy of railroad in- torests, The organization to take ofaal notice of the scieme was the Western passenger as- sociation, and Chairman Finley appointed James Charlton, W. . White and P. S. Eus- tis a committeo to reporton the matter. At the recent meeting of the Western associa- tion this committce presented its report, which had proviously been circulated among the members by means of a ¢ X The plan proposed was as follows Your committee. 1o whom has been referrod the question of arran « plan for the abo- itlon of the sale of uniimited tickets, , beg respectfully o recom- (nt eircular attac roads to points on or theso lines shall be aiscontinued wiso continue the sale of these tickets ¢ shall be 1ifted on first presentation 1o o nd.acontinuous train passige checle of same. , local and homo inued March 1, ul aand from that wll be limited notto exceed twenty- irs beyond schedule and trom Marel 1, must bo allowed on wny either local, lome or forl stion as to the conductor's train d as to a form to be used to replice t local unlimited tickets now on , no stop over ungle trip ticket, 1 coupon fssue, mber, y de is sretion means for lie present unlimiied stock of replieing 1by u now fssue provided with a limited con- ract, This report was discussed in all its boar- bick to the committee 1s to make certain modific: ontinuance of the sale of un- limited tickets between Omaha and Chicago is undoubtedly the result of the agreement renched at that meeting. Mr. I, A. Nash, general western agent of the Milwaukeo road, stated that this action was intended to shut out the scalpers, who would uot care to handle limited tickots. There was very Little scalping done at Omaha on Chicago business, he said, but it had been necessary to Includo this point in order to the action against other points “Teflective. Mr. Arthur B. Smith, assistant general passenger agent of the Birlington, was of the opinion that the change would not affect the scalpers in any way, ‘The present rate be- tween Chicago and Omaha was u cut-rate, he said, with ouly one stopover priviloge, wtich made a ticket practically the sume as ‘a lim- ited ticket, so that theré was very little op- portunity for a scalper to handle " it. Under the new arrangement there would be nostop- oyer privilege. The Milwaukee Telegraphers. The local oficers of the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul anticipate little trouble from the threatened strike of operators along their lins. Mr. F. A, Nash, general westorn agent, stated that the trouble arose out of a move on the part of the company to equalize the salaries of its operators. Those operators who are employed along the iine as agents and operators are supplied with houses to live in, fuel, lights, ete.,while those Lwving n largo towns and cities are not thus supplied, but have to pay for these accommo- dations, Tho company had endeavored to equalize matters by increasing the pay of the city operators and” decreasing the remunera- tion of those aionk the lines, This caused trouble and a strike had been threatened Everything secred to be working smoothly yesterday, however, and Mr. Nash didnot anticipate any trouble, Elickensderfer's Assistants.

He is Catting a Very Wide Swathin Washington City. C. 8. Morton has been heard from again, Morton, it will be remembered, came to Omaha the last week in September as the reputed financial agent of two or three big investment companies of Boston that had an unlimitea quantity of gold dollars that they wanted t0 exchango for Omaba realty and business prop Ho was a finely educated, well posted man, and his anxiety to get his cash invested in business bareains in Omaha right away, be- fore any rival companies could getin and gobble up any of the choico corners, won the hearts of the local real estate brokers, He told great stories of his plars. He purchased the property at the southeast corner of Seventeenth and Farnam streets and promised 8 ten-story palace office building for the place. He wanted to buy the entire block, and felt bad to think he couldn’t getit. This deal was carried to the point of having the deeds all made and deposited in a local bank. Morton then decid dp(:\u would boom the manufacturing interests a little, and secured an option on a large tract of acre property upon which he was going to erect a mam- moth shoe factory that would give employ- ment to at least five hundred hands as a starter. Some of the most conservative business men of thecity became interested in Morton's plans, He took a run down to Kearncy and prom- ised the citizens of that enterprising city a few biz manufacturing industries. ‘T'hen the bottom fell out of Morton's planse He was discovered to be a fraud and to have no relations whatever with the big financial firms he claimed to represent. The men who had become interestedin his plans becamesus- picious and finally repudiated Morton, who suuuunlfr left, the city. He also loft a hoalthy board bill unpaid and. alot of littleI O U's in the hands of bis newly formed friends, ‘This was the last direct information re- colved of Morton until Wednesday, when Landlord Eastman of the Paxton réceived a letter from M. S. Hawver of Los Angeles, a former resident of Omaha, enclosing a clip- ping from a Los Angelos paner concernin g the doings of one U G. Glick. “This per- sonage,” writes Mr. Hawver, “is the same as C. 5. Morton, of whom you know. The fraud, deception and rascality he indulged in here would fill a volume.” The clipping from the Los Angeles paper referred to is as follows : ‘A letter has been recelved from a gentle- man in Washington, D. C.—a former resident of Los Angeles-—-making anxious inquiry in regard to U. S. G. Glick, who will be remem- bered as the spiriual’ adviser of tho mur- derer, Anschlag, who committed suicide on the nightprevious to the day set for his exccution in November, 1888, “The letter re- ferred to says: ‘U, S. G. Glick Is cutting quitea swelt here in Washington. He waa a candidate for a timo for postofiice inspector; then he withdrew the strong recommenda- tions gizen himin April, 1889, by Dr. Cantine, A. E. Pomeroy, Hervey Lindley, Judge Fitzgerald, General Boyce and others, and lay 'in wait for somethiug else. He was an aspirant for assist- ant postmaster of the house and failed again. Then he put in an application for a senate clerkship, ThelastIheard of himbe had made somebody believe he was the EI)urchns- ing agentof the Leland Stanford, Jr., uni- versity.

He called on me last October and said he had Jjust come from Los Angeles and was full of s about Los Angeles politics and society, as well s business. He caused a doubt to arise in my mind by some remarks which led me to think he had not been in Los Angeles pade of a year and a hulf ago, entative of a Chicago school supply company told me he confidenced his firmout of $200 or $300, and that his trunk ‘was still held on account.’ " el There fs nothing in oxistence, that will equal Salvation Oil in curing pains in tho joints and muscles, or spinal aftections Price 25 cents. A preacher, who had been annoyed by the incessant “hacking” of members of his con- gregation, recommended such to try Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. ———— PRECOCIOUS CROOKS, Two Young Missourl Boys Charged ‘with a Series of Burglaries. Walter Smith and Ralph Bryant were ar- rested yesterday by Detective Savage,on com- plaint of Marshal Hill of Harwood, Bates county, Missouri, who came hcre on their trail The prisoners are only fourteen years of age, but are full-fledged crooks, There were three of them in the gang, but the third one, Noah Griftith, is now in jail at Nevada, Mo. The trio have been engaged in the whole- sale burglary busmess, and five business houses at Lockville one at Harwood wereraided by theso criminally precocious youngste Thre eudiary fives are also charged up unt, and several parties who have suffered from petty thoefts have not hesitated to lay all blame for their losses at the same door. ‘The boys admit_their connection with sev- eral burglaries, but say they mercly stood watcn outside while Grifiith went in, They walked home to Rockville, nine miles away, after tho burglary, carrying a valise full of stolen property. At Sheldon Grifith stopped to get something to eat, and kicked out a window, but a colored man shot at him and he fled. The youthful crooks buried their plunder, but finally took alarm and dug it up and skipped. The Bryant boy is very shrewd for nis years, and at the rate he is gong will soon develop into a dangerous criminal. ek A Erysipelas and salt rheum was driven en- tirely away from Mrs. J. C.

PN ORGANIZED CHARITY. Rev, Rerdy's Plan for Work Among the City's Needy Ones. Rev. J. J. H. Reedy of St. Timothy mission, {n a conversation with a representa- tive of Tur Bek urged very carnestly some important steps to be taken inthe matter of charity work in the city. He said: “Organize aboard of mine trustoes or an executive committeo of that number, ong from cach special or general association or denomination of the city, this board or com- mittee to elect its own officers with a general secretary, who devotes his whole time to of- fice work, at an office to be located in the cen- tral part of the business portion of the city. In each ward havea board of three to act as auxiliaries to the central board, with a secre- tary devotinga portion of the time totho work of receiving petitions and distributing the work of visitation and relief among tho workers of the ward in which the office is lo- cated, The entire twenty-sevon should be organized as @& board of administra- tion for the city, for the purpose of dovising ways and means, and as the board of management for generai work. The board of nine should be the executive ofiicers of the general organization of thecity, and the ward committees be confined to the work of relief in distinctively ward matters. The general committee should meet in convention monthly, or at least quarterly, *‘Call a mass meeting for the appointment of thie committees from each ward, aud leave the future organization to the twenty-seven thus chosen or appointed. ““An office could be secured for the gencral secrotary for the city, and for each of the ward secretaries, Reports from the wards could then be required from the ward secretaries to the general secretary, and the press wonld make everything public. ““Three solicitors should be appointed, and with three wagons constantly used for the delivery of clothing and provisions to tho ward or general headquarters a good supply could bo kept on haud for emergencies. Every one working in the cause of charity would then beable to communicate or_corre- spond with some member of the relief work with but littie loss of time or inconvenience, Missionaries would then work in_prearranged districts, and much useless travel on the part of duzens of earnest helpers be saved for the actual needs to be reached and supplied to the destitutein any part of the city. “With a litile effort on tho part of all, a central building can be secured for the work of assoclated charities in the city. ““The present workers would hail with joy amore perfect system of extending relief to those most worthy, but. who arenow neglected for want of the information which secures careful supervision of the distribution Give the peoplo the facts, and make it possi- ble for them to conuribute regularly and they will make our associated charities one of tho living monuments of the energy of the city of Omaha.” e The City Clerk's Work, The annual report of John Groves, city clerk, has been prepared and placed in the hands of the mayor. As wellas furnishing an index of what has been done in the clerk’s office, it gives some idea of the work performed by the council ‘The report shows that the council held fifty-one regular, five adjourned and seven- teen special sessions during the year, besides sitting asa board of equalization” upon seven different occasions. During the twelvc months the clerk and his assistants read to thé members of the city council 2,883 communications, 1,105 resolutions and 501 or- dinances. When transcribed, these docu- ments filled 1,118 pages of the council journal and 1,617 pages of tho ordinance record. The total amount of money passing through the offico was $15,197.85, ‘all of which was re- ceived from lionses, ' Of this sum 167 ped. dlers paid 85,255, 150 fruit hawkers $852,50, 7 employment 'agencies $50, 10 coal dealers $1,900, 85 pawnbrokers $1,758.35, and 248 ex- press wagon owners $2, 450, ——— Restored to His Father, Little George P. Robinson was restored to the charge of his father last evening on an order issued by Judge Clarkson. Robert Rodinson, father of tho six-year- old lad, is a Pullman car conductor. Hiswife died a few years ago and Robinson employed Mrs, William Krouse of Council Bluffs to take careof the child. Recently Robinson was married again. He then went to Mrs, Krouse and asked for the custody ef the boy. Murs. Krouse had a billof $00 for keeping the chiid and refused to turn him over until that amount was forthcoming. In order to avoid Robinson she brought thelad to Omaha, Robinson followed her, and when he learned thatthe persunsions of himself and wife werein vain, he securcd a lawyer and obtained s writ of habeas corpusin Judge Clarkson's court. The result was a victory for the plaintiff, Colonel J. M. Eddy's Faneral, The remains of the late Colomel J. M. Eddy will arrive in this city at 4 o'clock Sat- urday afternoon.
