Union Pacific Officials Voluntarily Offer to Uorrect the Present Tariff in Some Instances—Lincoln News Notes. Lixcory, Neb., Oct. 80.—[Special to Tus Bee.|—Sccretary W. A. Dilworth of the State Board of Transportation has written a letter to Gieneral Manager k. W. Wicter of the Chicago, St. PPaul, Minneapolis & Omaha Ratlway company, calling attention to the alloged discrimination in froight rates on that road from Chicago and South Sioux City to Norfolk. In tho letter Mr. Dilworth soys: In examining Into the matter and compar- 1ng the rato o other places in the fmmediato vicinity of Norfolk we find the lowing fact to exisi: The through rate on frolght from O Grand_Isiand is: First-ciass, $1.2 Dasls as tho Grand olk would be ut 2 on the sa . tho rate to N s, 04 conts; third o fifth class, conts.

Mr. Dil- worth says that from conversations with these ofticials he feels satisfied that the roads will comply with the request without any opposition. Senator Koontz of the State Board of Transportation has received a letter from J. A. Monroo, general frelght agent of the Union Pacific Railway company, to the effect that the gram rates from Pouter, Kimball and othor stations in western Nebraska wero established last yoar because of the failure of crops, sbut the company now, with its in- croased business, can reduco the present rates and will do S0 this week. Mr, Monroo denies that there is any unjust discrimination between Sidnoy and Kimball to Omaha aud Chicago. STOLEN LUXURIES.

GOSSIP, WasniNatox Bureiu or Trne Bes, 513 FOURTEENTIL STREET, WASHINGTO! 3 Although few porsons here whom are well informed on the subject really believe there is oven a little probability of war with Chili, keen intorest is taken in the new phase of the situation. A couple of days ago privato information was carried to the authorities hero that Chili_iotended making the amende honorable tor the attack upon our sailors at Valparaiso; that sho wanted to appear to take a firm stand against doing so but she would yield, and the intimation was accepted as equivalent to an apology n advance of & demand forone, It is said that thisimpression had its weight in tho formation of our first dispateh to Ministes Egan instructing him to demand roparation, for it was couched in mild terms. The abrupt and almost heartless reply was o great surprise in official circies here bere, ns it was uncalled for and un- timoly. ry little that can be said of the correspondence between tho Dopart- ment of State and Minister Egan. One thing is quite sure, this governmont will not re- cedo from the position it has assumed in_bo halt of the lifo and liberties of her citizors abroad. War with Chili could not of course bo declared without instructious from congress. All that could result fro the affair pending congressional action would be the withdrawal of the minister which may result soon, should Chili continue to be arro- ant, ¥ omebody must answer for the indignities neaped upon our sailors ai Valparaiso, and our presentation of the case cannot be laughed out of sight by the Chilians who un- questionably ure nct just at this moment feeling vory friendly ‘toward the Uuited States. Tho situation is not alarming, it is simply interesting because the questions in volved are of Ameri- can citizen, Some men in the diplomatic servico and the navy regard the attitude of the Kuglish press toward the United States in connection with our Chiliau affair as signiicant. Many of the Euglish newspape: our action in demunding of Chili redress for tne wanton illing of our sailors. Tho press of London especially rigicules our action and eucourages the position assumed by the Chilian authorities, who would if they could, say that they didu't care u snap what we did or tnought. ~ Tho significance 1n this position of England—if indeed thero is any siguifi- cance in it-lies in the fact that the gient bulk of capital invested in Chili belongs to Englishmen or England, and Great Britain controls the commerce of Chili, Furter than this, Chili could not maintain & war agaiost this or any other formidable power for a period of two months it she stood upon herown resources. ‘Lhe impression is growing here that Chili be- Lievos that if she should have a “scrimmage" with us England would come 10 her rescue, Such a contingency is not foared by our ofii- cials, who feel tnat England would ha more, much moce, to lose in severiug hor relations with us than losing all she might have in Chil, und that she would thorefore exert her influence to have Chili remain ou a peace footiug with us. There is a great deal of talk at this moment by the aemocratic press to tho effect that the attitudo of our administra- tion in the Cbilian affair is for jingo, that it waats to sohdify the ranks of Americans at home, which means a republicau victor. whenaver Americaus are called to pass judg- ment upon a question of Americanism there is but one party, Itshould be remembered that this troublo with Gbiii began long be foro the pending campaign and was preeipi- for a moment be suspected that Chilians would conspire with the prosent administra- tioa in this country to help out the election of Major McKinley as goveraor of Ohio, for instance? It was one of the cardinal princt ples advanced by General Harvison in the campaign of 1585 that our citizens should be secure in 1ife and property in all parts of the world. It had been a very weak spot in tho administration of President Cleveland and General Harrison was _determined to make this a government for Americaus, Postmasters appointed today : Nebraska— Hooker county, A.

Tonight will be All Hallow E: aliad bocause it is the night preceeding All Hallowmas or All Saints’ Day, which is Novemoer 1, and is observed by the Roman Catholie, Protestant Iipisco- pal and Lutheran churches as a festival in houor of allthe saints. In the ancient cal- ender of the Ciurch of Romois found the fol- lowing obscrvation on November 1: ““I'be foast of old fools is removod to this day.” Perhas this sotting apart of November 1 as sacred to ola fools, as well as to all the saints, is duo to tho many foolish customs, chavms, spe incan- tatious, otc., which haye long been practiced upon the procesding night or All Hallow Even, contracted by the Scotch to “Hallow- e'en,” and commonly known to the juvenile mina of young Arerica as “Holly Eve.” There is vo night in the year which has been invested by popular imagination with a more peculiar charactor than Octoboer 31, or Hallow Eve. Thore 1s nothing in the church observance of the onsuing day of All Saints calculated to giverise to such remarkable ideas as are associated with this night or to such singular sports aud customs as are prac- ticed upon its anuual occurrence, That super- natural influences then prevail is a widely accepted superstition. Glendower asserts that all who choose 'to'do so can then ‘“‘call up the soirits from the vasty deop.” It is A that all spivits, "Bt of the visible and inyisivle world, then walk the earth, and it is believed that on this mystic evening the immaterial principle existing in_ull things human ean detach iwelf from all corporal resteaint and wandap at will—or be mado to wander against its will—through space.

Some accidont or practical joke might arouse the nerves and the imaginition to the unbalanciug of the reason, Leaving cutall these eerie things, the party cau ve made mysterious enough to be pro- ductive of a great deal of innocent amuse- ment, whici, besiles being uniquo, is allow- able ouco a year. la the decoration of the house a weird effect is given by removing the meat from very small pumpkins and, after cutting fuces on two sides of them, placing them over the lamps and gas lights in Dlace of the gas shades. ‘I'hrough the pump- kin rind a mellow, vellow light sheds a goastly glow upon every object. Tall pieces of furniture, draped in sheets and surmount- ed by large pumpkins with grotesque faces cutin them and candles securely fastened inside are rather uncauny in appearance. A cabbage bead with a fow roses or autumn flowers placed in it and suspended by a fino wire from the chandelier is sugeestive of tho season. For anyone who cares for elaborate decovation a_frieze of fruit, which can bo made by stringing it on long and short striugs and suspending it from a_rope around the o ild be appropriate. Also a por- tiere of vosy cheoked apples. Fruit is the proper decoration, because this day was mado a feast day to Pornona, tho Roman goddess of ruits, 1t1s prety, and in keeping with the night, o bave tho house lighted with flickering andles and open fires, wstead of tho usual kerosene, lu this dim and weird light the witches can better work their spolls. Burns says in his poem on Halloween : s, first and foremost, throngh ths kail, Thoir stocks muun a’ (e sought auce. This means that each must pull a stock, or plant, of kail—cabbage; very few can pull cabbage tor want of a cavbage fiold,but grass orany plant can be substituted. ‘The com- pauy must pair off and go hand in hand, and pull up some plant or weed. Its size and shape will foreteli the appear- ance of tho future husbaud or wife. Tho amount of dirt clinging to it will sbow the fortune, Burning the nuts ie a famous charm. Chestnuts are best; each ono takes two, and nawmes ono for him or herself, and the other no favored one, and as the nuts burn so will the courtsbip be, Some will burn quietly sidu by side, some- times one will crack open and ~ pop off, and again both will jump angrily apart “Pake o candle, go up stairs and stand be- foro looking giass, eating an applo and you will sce in the glass the faco of your fate peeping over your shoulde 1f you 500 10 face but your own, you will live fu singlo blessedness.

A botter way is to suspend the applo at the end of a string and then try to bite it us it swings. A raisin and a piece of string_ will cause about s much laughter as any of the games. Tie tho raisin in tho middio of the string, which should be a_yard long, then give two persons each an end of the string, which they put in their mouths and chow to see which can reach the raisin first. Place a lighted candle on a table, blindfold a person and turn hum_sround several times; then tell him to clasp his bauds bebind him and blow out the candle, Nearly everyone will blow anywhere but at the candie. One of the most comical things is to see two blindfolded persous trying to feed each other with spoonfuls of popcora.
