WUST REDUCE THEIR FORCES Black Bueiness Likely to Decimate the Rank of Railway Employes, ROADS PLAN FURTHER RETRENCHMENT Forces to Be Materinlly Red Burlington, Missourl Pacific and welfie, and Saluries May Be Scale Down Again -Ral Notes. The action of the Rock Island and Santa fe in reducing thelr train service to meet imperative demands for retrenchment will shortly be followed by reductions in train miles on the part of the Unlon Pacific, Mis- uri Pacific and Burlington The reduction on the part of the Union Pacific will not be confined to reducing trains, but general superintendents and heads of de- partments have received instructions to scale down thelr forces to the lowest possible noteh conslstent with the handling of the service. So absolutely nccessary is this movement on the part of the “Overland” that predic- tions are heard that salaries are also to be_cut. There Is no denying that the rallroad situ ation looks terribly blue and wherever a dol- lar can be saved it will be don Reductions, however, will not be confined 20 rallro.d companies. The ecjro:s c.mian es are suffering frightful decrease in busine and shortly the Pacific, the United States and the Adams will attempt horizontal reduc- tions along the line of the American com- pany. ATCHISON LETS DOWN THE BARS, Will Allow G. A. R. Excarsionists to Return When They Plense, CHICAGO, July Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger association has called a special meeting of the association for Sat- urday of this week to consider the question of Grand Army rates. The Atchison has is- sued iotice that it will extend limits of tickets to any date within the final date set by the association. The arrangements have been heretofore that the tickets were good for return passage only on certatn specified dates. The Atchison has let down the bars as to the return limits, and the association wil be obliged to take similar action or lose the greater part of the business. The meeting will also take up several matters of a routine nature. A conference of the Western Passenger as- soclation lines with the trunk lines will be held next weck in New York for the pur- pose of considering the irregularities in Northern Pacific coast trafic and make an effort to adjust them. The Southern Pacific today issued notice that the boycott which it put into effect against the Atchison carly in the year has been indefinitely suspended. This is probably the last that will be heard from the boycott in any shape. Talking Traflle Arrungements. Yesterday Receiver McNeill and Gener: Freight Agent Campbell of the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation company held a confer- ence with G-neral Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific and J. A. Monroe, with a view of making a traffic agrecment with the “Overland” along somewhat similar lines as the Union Pacific had with the Oregon company before its absorption by the form:r railway. 1t is true that the Oregon company made a propositin to the Great Northern through Mr. Shelby, looking toward an alliance of these roads, but the money consideration is thought to ba too high and for the present a close traffic arrangement between the Greut Northern-and Oregon company is hung up. After Mr. McNeill concludes his busin In Omaha he will go east to negotiate the sale of receivers' certificates, which the United States court has authorized him to Issue. Heavy Fruit Business. California fruit s now moving in im- ‘mense quantities since the Southern Pacific opened up its line, the Union Pacific having four deciduous fruit trains between Chey- enne and Ogd:n. These trains are running on passenger time and are being pushed through in order to save the greater pro- portion of fruit, which has been in transit for days. In some some cas:s the Union Pacific company is sandwiching fruit coaches on regular passenger trains and charging passenger rates. Rallway News.

BILLS FOR ASPHALT REPAIRS Stage Now Roached in a Fight to Get Cash on Contested Olaims, SQUIRES' CLAIM READY FOR APPROVAL One Vote Needed to Pass the Clalm Is Final- ly Secured—itistory of the Bill—Hus- cull's Attempt to Tickle the Stre That the Barb:r Asphalt company has at Jast secured enough councilmanic votes | to pass the $14,000 street repair bill over the veto of the mayor is indicated by the action of Councilman Specht Tuesday evening in introducing a resolution to place a part of the amount in the appropriation ordi- nance, Incidentally the procedure in the case furnishes an interesting object le in the methods employed by the corpol tions to secure their ends, and shows t as the council is at present instituted it only a matter of time until they get what they want Every one who Is famillar with city af- fairs is acquainted with the history of the Barber claim. It was originally for ome- thing like $12,000, and it was presented years ago, when Major Birkhauser was chairman of the Hoard of Public Works The clalm was for repairs made on city pavements during 1890, which were promptly repudiated by the Board of Pub- lic Works, During the time when the al- leged repairs were in progress the contract- ors arrogated to themselves the exclusive right to decide what repairs were nec and _absolutely refused to obey the ory of the Board of Public Works. The repa in question were ne ordered by the board, but the Barber company went ahead and presented the bill, After the board had refused to entertain the claim the matter was taken into the council, where the position of the board was sustained. Since then the ;company has never rested in its efforts to push this bill for alleged and unauthorized repairs through the council. On May 24 of this year Hascall introduced a resolution order- ing that $2,230.68 of the amount claimed be placed in the pending appropriation ordi- nance, to be paid out of the curb, guttering g fund, and that the remaining pald as’ rapidly as funds became available. This was practically acknowledg ing the entire claim, and the ordinance containing the item was duly passed. The mayor vetoed the Item in favor of the Barber company on the ground that it w for repairs that had never been authorized, that the claim had been declared fraudu- lent by the Board of Public Works, and the city council, and that by approving this item tie city bound itself to pay the entire claim. The Veto was sustained by a margin of one vote. The next attempt to pass the claim was July 3, when Edwards introduced a resolu- tion similar (o the one introduced by Ha call. This was pass:d and the item was vetoed a second time, the Barber company lacking one vote of the number sufficient to ass the ordinance over the veto as in the first instance. The Barber company was not disheartened, however, and Tucsday evening it made its third attempt, and with better prospects of success Ou the question of sustaining the mayor's first veto Councilman Specht voted to sus- tain the mayor. The second time he passed when his name was called, and finally voted for the ordinance, after he had seen that MeAndrews had voted no and his vote would not pass the ordinance. The last resolu- tion was introduced by Specht himself and his vote is the one that the Barber company needs in order to pass its claim over the veto which it expects from the mayor, It is generally understood that though McAn- drews weakened the last time, he will vots with the Barber councllmen again the hext time a veto is returned, and this will give them twelve votes, which will be sufficient to override the mayor, and after four years of wire pulling to place the company in a way to collect its long disputed cluim, In connection with this subject it is of interest to know that the fund out of which it is proposed to pay this claim is already almost entirely depleted. The total sum available in the curbing, guttering and clean- ing fund on July 1, according to the figures in the comptroller's office is $37,965.03. This includes the cash reserve, the 1893 balance and 90 per cent of the 1894 levy. The amount expended during the first six months of the year was $34,445.20, leaving a balance for the remaining half of the vear of $3,- 519.83. After taking out the $2,250.68 con- templated by Specht’s resolution a balance of $1,269.15 will remain to pay all expenses in this department for the next six months. WAGES OF STREET FORCES, Hascall Makes a Bid for Favor with the Labor Vote, That there is an election approaching is evidenced by the desperate efforts of certain councilmen in behaif of measure: that are cauculated to impress the laboring man with the beliet that their only object in life is to evilve some scheme that will promete his interests, A case in point is the resolution ordering the Board of Public Works to fn- crease the wages of laborers in the employ of the city from 15 cents to 1714 cents per hour, which was recommended for adoption by Hascall Tuesday evening. According to scction 104 of the charter the power to regulate the compensation of city employes is vested as follows: Referring to the duties of the Beard of Public Works it says: “The said Board of Public Works +hall regulate and fix the compensation of all inspecto's and the wages of employes that are under the supervision of said board or said commissicners, which wages shall not be less nor more than current wages for that cla s of daily labor."” Ths sectlon was brought to the attention of Tascall by Saunders and Wheeler Tu night, but the statesman from the Fi ward insisted that the council had a right t say what current wages were. In his opin- lon current wages were 17 cents per hour, and the board thould be made to pay that amount. The dissenting members protested that they had made inquiries among con- tractors and others who employed labor and that none of them were paying more than 15 cents, but a majority of the council sided with Hascall and = the resolution was adopted. It Is not expected that the Board of Pub- lic Works will pay any attention to the resolution. Chairman Winspear said ye terday that the fact that the council had declared that current wages were 1714 cent: did not make them so. There were any number of good men who w glad to work for 12% cents, and while ne was willing that the laboring men should have all they could get, he did not believe that the board uld consistently pay more than the present schedule. As far as the action of the council was = con- cerned the matter of regulating compensa- tion was entirely vested in the board and the only object of the resolution could be to place the board in an embarrassing position.

Fire Does Quick Weérk with Three Cottages on TwentysFourth Streoet. It took no longerithan thirty minutes for fire to destroy three cottages belonging to S. R. Andrews of Omaha, at Twenty-fourth and C strects, yesterday afternoon. An alarm was sent in at 1:15, but unfortunately the firemen, instead of tying up to a hydrant at Twenty-third and B, about 600 feet away, coupled at Twenty-sixth and 1, and | after stretching 2,000 feet of hose reached the ashes of the cottages with a stream of water that resembled a yard of fence wire in appearance, size and effectiveness. The fire originated in the house occupled by A. . Parsons through the careless handiing of a gasoline stove, J. Davis and Gerhardt Milkensen occupied the other two cottages Mr. Milkensen alone carried insurance, he having a $400 policy. The total value of the furniture destroyed fn the three cottages Is estimated at $1,600. Mr. Andrews being out in the state, the amount of his net loss could not be ascertained, May Get t Car Line. Councilmen Bulla and Ryan met Messrs. Goodrich and Murphy of the Omaha Street Raiflway company Wednesday afternoon and digscussed the oft mooted question of giving the Third ward citizens the benefit of a stroct car line. Though no direct promises were made the councilmen are confident that the long sought improvement is about to be made. The company claims that it no right to operate lines in South Omaha ex- cept on Twenty-fourth street, as the right- of-way on other streets is owned exclusively by Mr. Markel. It also claims that the maintenance of a service in the Third ward would prove a dead loss, In answer to the first_excuse the representatives of this city cited the fact that by the extension of the Twenty-fourth street line to Albright and the L street viaduct Mr. Markel and the Metropolitan folks exposed the unity of their possessions and purpose. To the second it was averred with truth that a Third ward line would be twice as profitable the Albright extension, as there were nearly twice as many people who would be tribu- tary to it within the former limit. At the end of the conference Mr. Bulla and Mr. Ryan were given to understand that the next work done by the company would be the building of the desired line. It was specified, however that in case of its construction the pavement, including that between the track: was to be Kept in repair by the city; that the line_was to run from Twenty-fourth street to Thirty-fifth, and that cars werc to run not oftcner than one-half hour apart. It is believed that one of the chief reasons for the backwardness of the car people in giving the Third ward a line is the hope they have of seeing a viaduct erected over the tracks on N or O streets into the yards. In this event they would probably operate the main line across the viaduct, around the yards and home on_Thirty-sccond street. This would leave the Third ward in as bad a condition as ever, and a mighty howl would follow. However, the prospects for a Third ward line are good, as the motor company is practically on the councilmanic rack, the ultimatum being “do as we tell you once in & while, or put your wires underground. ng Park. Tom Rock, C. C. Stanlcy, the Van Zant Brothers, Cashier’ McPherson of the Stock Yards bank, the Cliftons and several other prominent citizens and commission men are interviewing members of the council on th: project of securing the use of the nameless park west of Twenty-fourth street in the northern part of the city as a driving park. The idea is to lay out the best half-mile track in the state, erect a handsome grand stand ‘and put up asnumber-of commodions horse barns. ' The desire is to lease tha park for a period of five or ten years. Al the councilmen thws far ‘seen would like to assist the project, but as yct connot see their way clear, as they have doubts as to their right of disposing of the grounds to such a use. It was suggested that the coun- cil could give its permission to the men to lay out the track and then fssue keys to the grounds to each member of the proposed as- soclation, At present tins appears to be the best plan, as the park, strictly speaking, 15 in the hands of the council and has not been thrown open to public use. The pro- Jectors say they will raise $2000 within twenty-four hours after they get possession of the grounds, aud as the latter are in fine topographical condition for a track, the amount should fully cover tha whole cost of the undertaking. Sehool Bonrd Matters, A special meeting of the school board has been called for this evening at the High school building. Bills for grading the High school grounds for the mew wall will be considered. There is considerable comment over the employment as janitor of the East Albright school of an alleged Sarpy county farmer. The gentleman in question Is well known as Farmer Sloane, and Is rated as the owner of a moderate sized but highly profitable farm_barely more than six miles south of the local postoffice. Mr. F. O. Olson, the new member of the board, whose reform ideas are meeting with hearty favor among his colleagues, has called attention to this fact, and added that he would not rest con- tent until some deserving South Omaha citizen was appointed Mr. Sloane's succes sor. No action will be taken in the matter this evening perhaps, but at the next regular meeting 1t is likely to produce a warm de- bate. Magio City Gossip. Mr. and Mrs. R.

Dump Cannot e Maintained at the Foot of Davenport Stre The garbage question Is once more in court. Guy C. Barton, Edward W. Nash and Jolin Grant, representing the Omaha Grant Smelting and Refining company and the Grant Asphalt and Slagolithic company, have obtained a temporary restraining order prohibiting the city of Omaha, through fts Board of Health, from locating a dump at the foot of Davenport strect, where the works of the sald corporation are situated, The petftion in the case was filed in the district court yesterday afternoon and Judge Scott granted the restraining order, which will be in force pending the hearing of the argument on the application for a permanent injunction, which will be held in court room No. 1 on the forenoon of September 17. Th petitioners represent that about two years ago the Board of Health located a garbage dump at the foot of the street mentioned The fumes arising from the dump were so obnoxlous as to make life a burden in a vicinity of several blocks and the unhealthful odors were prolific of sickness among the men employed at the works. They allege that at one time they were compelled to shut down because so many men were sick on account of the proximity of the dump, and they did not have enough well men loft to run the plant, The complainants assert that the dump was finally removed on account of the nu merous complaints and actions at law, but now they have Information that the board intends to relocate the dump at that place. Consequently they want the court to step into the ring and fssue a permanent injunction againet the location of the dump at that point. After only eight months of wedded life, Nora DeMerritt has gone Into court to get herself released from her matrimonial con nection with Horace DeMerritt. Accord- ing to the petition which she filed in district court yesterday, she was married to De- Morritt at Broken Bow, in this state, in November, 1893, She asserts that, instead of being the true and loving husband he had promised to become, he from the first neglected and cruelly treated her. Things went from bad to worse until January, when he drew a revolver and threatened to Kill her then and there. For these reasons she asks the court to step in and make her once more a free woman.

DONT LET THEM DIE July Heat Weakens Babies” Di- gestion: No Strength to Resist Cholera Infantum, Half the Funerals of July Are of Little Ones. Safety Lies in Lactated Food and Cleanliness. The Proper Food is Very Far from Exp-nsive. July 1s dealing even more crually with the babies than a year ago. The fatal cases of cholera infantum last week in this city, were many, and there will be many mora. Precious little lives sacrificed to ignorance. Almost every one might have becn saved. All these diarrhcal discases, whether chol- era infantum, diarrhea or summer com- plaint, are preventable. Physicians emphat- ically say so. Hot weather alone will not produce these disorders; it simply weakens the infant di- gestion, and makes it easy for improper feed- ing to bring on dreaded diarrhe What then, is proper dit in July? Healthy mother’s milk has no rival, but when the child is being weaned. or when its natural food is thin and watery and unable to keep baby strong and well, lactated food must be used at once, either to supplement mother's milk or as a complete diet. For years it has boen noted that in count less homes and in the large childrens insti tutions,wherever lactated food has been reg- ularly used, there have bien few or no re turns of deaths from cholera infantum in July and August.
