LOCAL AGENTS HOURLY EXPECT NEWS Jowa Lines Must Meet the Cut Made by Mi ri Pacific d Must Alse Rellieve Kaunsas Otty. wocal freight agents of the various lines which run from thia city to Mississippl river points, Including Chicago, are houly expecting news to the effect that thelr lines have put rates in effect the same as those announced yesterday by the Missourl Pa- cific on wheat and coarse grains. It Is expected that within a short time Chicago will be on the same footing as re- gards rates on grain from Omaha as St. Louls is at the present time. One local agent remarked: “We have always met competition, and I presume our line will do the same In this instance. 'The rate put Into effect by the Missourl Pacific allows &n outlet to the eastern seaboard, and of course our line, If it secures any of the business, although it runs to Chicago, will have to meet the cut.” Rates to the eastern seaboard are the same from St. Louls as from Chicago, and with the new rate in effect to that point of course all grain shipments for export will go that way until & stmilar rate 1s put into effect via Chicago and Mississippl river pointe. At present there is a Woportional rate in effect from Omaha to Chicago for grain shipraents, oiiginating on the Unlon Pacific, | of 14 cents on wheat and 13 cents on corn Rut for grain originating on other Nebraska the best that can be offered s a rate cents on wheat and 1§ cents on other wins to the Chicago market. Cons: quently If the rate is cut to meet the St Louls reduction as anticipated the reduc- tion will be one of 12 cents on wheat and 10 cents on corn for all but Union Pacifie shipments, and these will suffer a cut of § cents on wheat and other grains. & for Ka When the anticipated cut goes into effect Omaha will have & much lower rate to eastern seaboard points than Kensas City, but it is thought probable that in order to place that market on a parity with this the acessions will be offered by roads running east from that place, so that in reality the agitation which has resulted In securiug the low rates trom this point will In the end prove of fnestimable benefit 1o the city on the Kaw. General Agent Thomas of the Chicago Graat Western sald yesterday that so long as & large slice had been taken off of the rates south by the Missour! Pacific, 1t wus his opinion his line would reduce the rates from Kansas City to Minneapolls and St Paw ob grain shipments so as o put thit pliice on af equal footing with this market. But as this is all local grain men bave been asking for, it is not thought likely that there will be any objection e ch action on the part of the Great West- e As & graln man sald u few days ugo, that an outlet south would prove of vastly more benelit te Omaba thean the low Fate Re s City. same o FARNAM STREET In effect to Minneapolls, even it Kansas City was kept at a disadvantage by a higher one, it is thought probable by rail- road men that the Great Western can re- duce the Kansas City rate north without protest from Omaha grain men. TWO DAYS OFF FOR .TURKEY Omaha Schools Will Close Wednesday and Open Aganin on Monday Morning. S The public schools will close Wednesday afterncon until Monday for Thanksgiving, “the day after being given as a holiday in which to recover,” to quote from one of the teachers. The annual feast will be recognized in all school rooms in manners varying with the ideas of the !nstructors, Some of the bulldings will have programs Wednesday afternoon, and all classes are perusing literature and art this week that recalls the Mayflower, the familar Massachusetts snow and the funny hats and gowns the Pilgrims wore. Children will bring offerings to their rooms, and the plunder will be diverted to channels that seek to bring plenty where logical conditions would not have it on Thanksgiving day. Money, jellies, canned fruits, more substantial things to eat and even clothing have been asked from the children capable of giving. The Salvation Army, the Associated Charities, the Visiting Nurses association and various homes and institutes will benefit thereby. Apart from this will come the attention paid to private cases local to the different schools. The principals and teachers work in con- cert and the surplus from one bullding is readily taken care of by the deficit from those in the poorer parts of town. Some of the rooms will be adorned this week with pictures and the out of door falosyncrasies of the season. FRIENDSHIP SETTLES THE CASE C. H. Ford Gets Hiy Ring and Harry Wards Is Given' His Liberty. Friendship played an important part in the adjudication of differences which came up between C. H. Ford and Harry Ward, traveling men, over the mysterious disap- pearance of the former's diamond ring, for which he negotiated some six months ago, paying $150 therefor, just as an investment, he explained to the police. Three mouths ago, when the ring came up missing, Ford was inclined to belleve that it was rather @ poor investment and after six weeks hal rolled around and no trace of the missing stone had been found he concluded It was & bad jnvestment Ward and Ford had been chummy; in fact, bad been room mates, and finally Ford con- cluded to have his friend investigated. The police were notified to look for Ward, and he was rounded up Monday In & popular Farnam street restuurant by Detectives Donahue and Heltfeld. When apprebended Ward had the ring, which he had slipped to his coat pocket as the offic ap- proached him, Possession of the wing Ward argued, was not good evidence of theft to Ford when the latter confrontea him at the station. He had found the ring, he sail, and would la due courss o time have given it back to Ford. Friends of Ward were induced 10 put up SACRIFICE. TUNITY. A CARD TO THE PUBLIC MR.

HEARING BARTLEY BOND CASE & of Transcript Former Jury Listens to Reas The hearing of the case agalnst the bondsmen of former State Treasurer Bart- ley, who defaulted, occupled the day in Judge Baxter's court.

At the beginning of the case yesterday a large crowd ussembled in the court room, but after = while the spectators grew tired of the monotonous recitation of Attorney General Propt, who was reading a lot of evidence submitted in the previous trials, and after a while none were left. It {s expected that the hearing of the case this time will occupy considerable time and that the case will not be con- cluded in less than a week.

SANITARY LAW AND COUNTIES INVOLVED s Gets a Rap from the Court and Witnesses Even Up by Hand- ing Douglas a Few Knocks, Cass county was given a hard rap by Judge Vinsonhaler yesterday morning in the hearing in the matter of the application of Willlam Callinane of South Omaha for the custody and guardianship of his 12 month's old son, who is living with his grand- mother In Plattsmouth. | About a year ago the child’s mother died in South Omaha of tuberculosis. The mother of the child’s mother took it to her home in Plattsmouth and now Mr. Calli- nane wants his child so that he may place it in St. James' Orphanage. He alleges that Mrs. Riley, the grandmother, is not | a fit person to have the custody of the child; that she and her home in Platts- mouth are slovenly; that she and her asso- | clates in that home are addicted to the ex- | cessive use of raw lquor and that they | have permitted the child to drink freely of | this liquor; that the child's body is nvz»] lected and that it does not partake of the | luxury of a bath only when one of its| aunts, residing at some distance from the | Riley home, went over to that place and | gave it a bath, | Caustle Comment on Countles, | | During the trial of the case the attorneys | for the plaintiff undertook to show the un- sanitary conditions of the Riley home, and after the statement had been that | the slops and swills were dumped right out | into the yard, just off the stoop, another | question relating to the alleged slovenly condition of Mrs. Riley was asked, to which the attorngys for the defense objected. “Ordinarily, I would permit that to pass,” sald Judge Vinsonhaler, “but since this | happened in Cass county, ¥ think it is safe to say it is admissable evidence.” ‘Phis little by-play caused no little merri- ment. The attorneys for both sides and the spectators participated with the court in a hearty laugh. ‘ If Cass county got the worst of it in this little matter, Douglas county, and| particularly South Omaha, eame in for its | share of disrepute later on when a question was put to one of the woman witnesses concerning Callinane’s reputation, with especial reference to whether he was ad- | dicted to the use of liguor, “i do not think he was," “I had heard that he w but then you know thing in these part: Another woman witness was equally severe on man, and when a guestion was put to her touching Calllnane's care of his wife during her last illness and the con- dition of his home, the witness sald “The home was In as good condition as could be expected when a man the care of it." made sald witness a drinking man, can hear most any- hus Fatat f M cor " peobacliy 3 B SRR izl | party in th | with cal | sisting of Mr Lucy J.

DES MOINES Two Companies of Twenty-Fifth In- tantry Will Do Temporary Duty There. Orders have been {ssued from army head- quarters directing companies C and L, Twenty-fifth infantry, to proceed by rail from Fort Niobrara to Fort Des Moines, to relieve the detachment of the Fourth and Elghth cavalry, now on duty there. The two companies of the Twenty-fifth are due to arrive at Fort Des Moines Decem- ber 1 and will garrison the new post until the arrival of the Eleventh cavalry. From the report of the chief of ordnance just reeelved at department headquarters, it is shown that the nited States maga- zine rifle, model of 1903, i= the name of the new army weapon. The length of the barrel is twenty-four Inches, and arrange- ments havo been completed at the Spring- field armory to turn out 225 of the guns per day, and 125 per day at the Rock Island arsenal. It is later expected to turn out about 400 of them per day at Springfield. The rifie will be used by all branches of the United States army service hitherto using rifiles and carbines, displacing these latter. Recent tests of the new rifie show it to be the best army weapon in the world Its adoption will necessarily Involve a slight change in the manual of arms now prevalent In the army, which had been adapted to the Krag-Jorgensen, which arm the new rifle displaces. | FUNERAL OF MRS.

At the last session & communication emanating from the South Side BSecond Ward Improvement club was not read, owing to the fact that Messrs. Connolly, McDonald and Harte were ce °d in no mild terms. At the n ting of the board it is stated that another effort will be made to have the communication read. Members of the county board have said there is no truth in the statement that they iIntend to vote for the allowance of the bill of $300 each submitted by the mem~ bers of the investigating committee. What influenced their actions in the matter is unknown, but it is thought that®the pro- test which has been filed by members of the Real Estate exchange through Thomas Lynch, a taxpayer, doubtiess has some bearing upon the matter, DUNN KEEPS UP ACTIVITY | Swears to Another Complaint Against Chucovich, Alleging Keeping of Grmbling Tools, Owing to the death of Miss irene Perfect who was related to Judge Estelle of the criminal division of the district court, /the mandamus case instituted by I J.

INSURANCE SCHEDULES LAID ASIDE Assessment on Companies Affected Not to Be Made Until After the Supreme Court Has Finally Passed on Point, Tax Commissioner Fleming yesterday outlined the course that will be followed by the Board of Review in the light of the supreme court commission's opinion on the revenue law. “We shall proceed under the provisions of the new law with the exception of the insurance clause,” he sald. “The word credits as applied ordinarily in the law will bo taken to mean net credits. For us the opinfon has simply settled one point tem- porarily—that relating to insurance. As- | sessments on this class of property will be held in abeyance until the suprems court hands down a decision—or if the decision come too late we will follow the conclusions of the commission on this point. “The work of the Board of Review will proceed as rapidly as possible.

Increases Impending, The Board of Review has sent out sev- enty-six notices to property to come in and show rcason why their per- wonal property schedules should not . be greatly increased over the figures set forth the voluntary returns. Seven persons cited have appeared and most of them have had thelr own figures doubled. Of the list cited there are proposed ralses ranging from $458 to nearly $10,00. The proposed figures are mere guesses and for this reason the board desires the names of the persons cited withheld until after they ap pear. Fewer protests against real estate assess- ments have been made this year than ever before. This is brought about by the fact, it is thought, that most of the realty in the city has been gone over carefully and the values readjusted to make them gen- erally uniform. owners All Seamen know the comforts of having on hand a supply of Borden's Eagle Brand Condensed Milk.
