BREAK FREEHOLDERS TRUST Third Ward Liquor Dealers Got Around it by Purchase of Joint Property. PREPARED NOW TO MEET THE LAW All Twenty-Two Objectionable Saloon Keepers Seoure Full Petitions to Present for New Licenaes. Saloon interests have sucoeeded In cir- mventing the “freeholders’ trust” in the Third ward, and the aseoclation formed to bar at least twenty-two omnmbh L shops seems to be vain. By a clever contrivance mo avaliablo Tesident Broperty owhers ba. the Third has been increased by one-half, and there {s no longer the bare thirty—the num- ber required on every petition for a saloon license. Every one of the n: landholders is both "capable and willing”" to sign any and all petitions presented. llence the fif- teen protestants have lost their grip. Actng in concert, persons desiring the continuation of the twenty-two objection- able saloons have bought a lot and have arranged so that it is owned by eighteen persons beyond the reach of tho trust. They have signed the necessary petitions and there will be few if any saloons in the burnt district that will not be able to pre- sent the necessary credentials to the license board this year. Already & few of them have flled. Complete the Trust. More than & week ago a majority of th then resident nronerty owners met at'the home of Thontas Swift, near Fiftienth and Chicago streets, and consummated the freeholders' combine. They drew up a list of twenty-two saloons that Il are opposed | to, had it printed for convenience sake and over m. "meotings of the license board and see that none of their names was forged. The assembly was presided over by Thomas + Bwitt, fredited with having instigaied the move, and included Michael Gleason, Nora Goggins, Timothy Kelly, Louls Worm, Elizabeth Ford, John Carison, J. A. Bona- veir, A. H, Bonayeir, Nels Lyons, Mary C. Frenzer, Jogoph Frenzer, Jerry Leary, J. C. MeGinn, O, J. Wilde, Jr., John Avondett and several others, who objected merely to saloons' in close proximity to their homes. These are the places they almed to put out of business: Mickey Mullen's theater and saloon, 1 North Sixteenth; William Maloney's theater and saloon, 150709 Capl- * tol avenue; Nebraske Music hall, 1307 Dous. las; Hans Kruse, 23 North Sixteenth; Hans Peterson. 1502 Webster; McKenzie's, Ti5 Worth Sixteenth; Osthoff's saloon and dancé hall, 513 North Sixteenth; Max Floto, W1 South Thirteenth; Weymuller's, 1314 Dougles; D.

No memben of the trust declined to sign for what they called the ‘respectable’ saloons, and a majority of the petitions in the hands of Jerry McMahon, jr., and Thomas Harrington were not opposed. The men who were circulating the petitions fi the Third ward had a much harder time to get names than ever before, however, M" the exact policy of the ‘‘trust” was not defined until a little more than a week ago, and untll that time the mem. bers refused to sign any petitions at all, Now that the rigorous work is over Mc- Mahon will leave tonight for a six weeks' recreation trip in the south.

DIVERTS TRAFFIC TO OMAHA Northwestern Changes lddn!u, Bhifting from Blair nd Missouri Valley. NEW TABLES GO I'('[O EFFECT SUNDAY People Foreed This Way by Change Will Become Heavier Traders, 1t is Sald, in Gate City. Hereafter all the passenger traffic on the Chicago & Northwestern which has been going - through Missourl Valley and Blair will come through Omaha. The changes in train service made by the Northwestern, which will go into effect Sunday, will bring this about. Northwestern officlals say that this means several thousand additional ;eo- ple going through this city monthly, & large pumber of whom when going east always have taken the cut-off by Missouri Valley as being shorter, and, of course, they say, this will be of lmmense benefit to Omaha. The people who will be forced this way are principally residents of a territory which is tributary to this city, and consequently secure the bulk of their supplies from here. The changes made in the passenger schedule of the Northwestern In detall ar Train No. % from Chicago, which form- erly arrived here at 7 a. m., will now arrive at 7:56 & m. This makes matters much more convenlent for eastern passengers ar- riving in the morning. The Bonesteel and Long Pine train, Nebraska and Wyoming division No. 1, which has been leaving at 7:35, will leave under the pew schedule at $:05 & m. s UWIng 1o Lhe large increase in iveal Unvei it has been found necessary to run train No, 18, local, which formerly went only as far as Carroll, Ia., through to Chicago. This train formerly left at 4 p. m. It will now leave at 4:3. This change was made primarily to lighten the travel on Na §, which is a Chicago train. The new train, No. 6 westbound from Chicago, arrives at the Union depot at 2:40 p. m. This Is the train which connects with the Union Pacific for Portland. The Black Hills, South Platte and Wyoming train, which formerly left the Webster strect depot at 3 p. m. will leave the Unlon sta- tion at 350 p. m. The Sioux City train, which-used to run from Missouri Valley to Sioux City, where it connected with the train for Carroll, now runs from Omaha to Bloux City, leaving the Union depot at 4 p. m. All other trains re- main unchacged. Hill Road Dips In. It has been announced that the Great Northern had made a proporiional rate out of Sloux City to Minneapolls on wheat of § cents. This action is evidently taken to match the low proportional rate out of Omaha which has recently been made by all the roads. At least that is what it is taken to mean by grain men. Ont of them sald that while the low rate is in effect from Omaha of course all the grain which can possibly be sent this way would come to secure the benefit writes, is dead and she believes her father | which the $-cent rate out of here affords, has remarried. D — Hubermapn, only direct diamond m-um Wb and Douglas. ) |and this would naturally ceuse the rali- roads running north from Sloux City to lose quite & large amount of business. In e rate, which, howe: will cause this city to lose the advantage over the Sloux City territory which it might have gained by the reduction it has secured. Low Rate to Break Strike, A local raliroad man made the statement that the cause of the reduction in the rate on coal from Omaha and Kansas Ciiy from $3.80 per ton to $4 per ton, which ‘oes into etfect this week to Colorado points was made by the rallroads for the purpose of breaking the miners' strike in the Colorado coal fields. He sald that “al- most all the mines In that state are owned and operated by the various rallroad com- panies. A Jargo number of them are oper- ated under the names of private compai. but,” said he, “they are owned by the ra.l- roads, who, of course, desire to see an eariy end to the strike. Under the present rate |eoal can be sold almost as cheap in some | parts of Colorado as it was sold when the mines there were producing. ‘hile some of the roads which run out of Omaha and Kansas City are not directly interested in the mines of Colorado, they are interested indirectly,” he sald. “For in- stance, the Colorado & Southern inter- changes traffic with (he Burlington aund the and also the Missouri Pacific, so that would naturally interest the latter line. The Colo- rado Midland interchanges with the Rock | Island, and the Union Pacific, of course, has its own lines Into the territory and is heavily interested in the mining business tn Colorado, as it also is in Wyoming. When you take all these things into con- sideration it is not hard to get at the cause of the big slice taken off the rats The announcement was made by C. C. Hughes, general superintendent of the Ne- braska and Wyoming division of the Chi- cago & Northwestern, that his offices would be removed In about ten days to Norfolk, where he will hereafter make his headquarters. All of the other local offices of theh division, which are located in the United States National bank building, will remain in this city Mr. Hughes stated that it was his desire to get nearer the central part of the terri- tory over which he has supervision, and he gave this as the cause of his removal to Norfolk. Mr. Hughes' supervision extends over the entire operating department of | the division, and it has been found impos- sible for him to give as close attention to matters at the western end of the line while making his headquarters in Omaha as he thought necessary, He could nnt state the exact date when the change will be made, but thought, if nothing intervened to disarrange his plans, that he would leave in ten days or two weeks, A Timely Susgestion. This is the season of the year when th prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem- edy It is certaln to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as s0on as the cold is con- tracted and before it has become setiled in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first in- dication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to children, for it con- tains no harmful substance.

General Agent Thomas of the Great West- ern said he, had nothing to say regarding the new develgpment in the situation; that he had heard nothing regarding it except what he had gleaned from the published dispateh, One of the leading grain men when asked for his opinion regarding the proposed ac- tion of the Kansas City interests in threat- | ening to boycott the Great Western if ‘the Omaha rates were not restored, sald that in his opinion It was a display of un- matched nerve 'on the part of the Kansas City interests 0 eyen ask for the same Alantle, and such changes &3 they haye bad | rates to Minneapolis apd St uu that were given this vlly when Kansay City ls located about 200 miles south of this place, “Why," sald he, is like Omaha de- manding the same rates to the eastern sea- board that are made from Chicago. What | Omaha needs s the same spirit which is displayed by the Kansas City erowd. De- | mand everything in sight and go to any ex- tremity to get it. I guess If we stand to- gether shoulder to shoulder perhaps we can glve President Stickney as much business out of here as he will lose In Kansas City. We did not start In to make & fight of this matter between this city and any other we are only asking our just dues and are not looking for trouble, but en the contrary it s trouble we wish to avoid, We wanted the organization of this grain exchange to move along smoothly, and if surrounding towns will stay out and leave us alone we will not attempt to hurt them, but will only attend to our own business, Thus far we have got nothing away from anyone but that which rightly belonged to us but | the fellow ghat is the least injured is the first one to cry quit.* AUTHORIZES A NEW Passes Ordinance Bonds A Market, ISSUE to Place on the Counely An ordinance authorizing a reissue and consequent resale of $484,000 rmunicipal re- renewal bonds was passed by the council yesterday at a4 special meeting called for the purpose.
