BACK FROM THE ST. LOUIS MEETING
Talks of the Joint Letter from the
CommercinI Clubs.

Talks of the Joint Letter from the
Commercial Clubs.
Freight Traffic Manager Munroe of the
Union Pacific has returned from the St
Louis conference Of railway officials. He said
yesterday morning that the joint letter Of
the commercial clubs of Omaha st. Joseph
Sioux City and Kansas City, protesting
against any change in rates that would mean
the granting of carload rates to less than
carload shipments would undoubtedly be
considered by the Western classification
committee at its meeting in st. Louis on
Tuesday.
Mr. Munroe also said that though the Chi
cago jobbers would like to see such a move
and though they would probably receive
the support OF eastern lines in the matter
he did not believe that they would be able
to accomplish what they so ardently de.
sired. He said the question was like the
measles, it broke out every few years, and
though always failing in a successful ter
mination, 1t was likely to break out at
any time.

FAILED TO KEEP THEIR DATE.
Stars that Promised to shoot Did Not


Stars that Promised to shoot Did Not
shoot.
The shower OF meteors which, according
to the anticipations of the astronomers. was
to illuminate the celestial arch Friday night
failed to put in an appearance. Whether
the cosmic wanderers were sidetracked by
sofue of the rival planets or whether the
times were so hard that they could not
AFFORD their customary jaunt Is uncertain.
Perhaps they were disgusted over the cleo
tion and decided to give Nebraska a cold
shake or maybe they wanted to fool the
scientists who had Dragged of knowing al
most the exact minute when they were
scheduled to appear, but, anyhow, they kept
away and any one who laid awake hoping
to see the celestial pyrotechnics was dis
appointed
According to the scientists. this spectacle
OF shooting stars recurs once in about every
thirty-thrCe years. 1t has been observed at
intervals for more than 1000 years the dis
play varying materially in it's extent and
brilliancy. This is not the first time that
the celestial disturbance has run away from
schedule time. Its last previous appearance
was fixed for November 1867, but in this
case it appeared a year earlier. The display
was not nearly as remarkable as the one OF
1893, but 1t was observed and commented on
in all parts of Europe.
According to the time card which has been
established during thousands of years, the
climax of the present fall of meteors is an
ticipatod in 1899. But 1t was expected to
appear less abundantly at the same date in
the three previous years, and scientists have
generally predicted that an exhibition of the
phenomena would be visible last night. So
far as this particular portion of the hemi-
sphere is concerned, the predictions failed
to hold good, and although a good many
people took pains to watch for the dis
play, not a single shooting star appeared.
Father Rigge of Creighton college says that
ahead of time in their predictions He has
found no reason for expecting the arrival of
the meteors this year and was not surprised
at their nOn-appearance.

Lou Mack Gets the Worst of nm
Encounter.

Just before noon yesterday Lou Mack,
alias Mckay, was cut in the arm by his
wife, Laura, either with knife or razor.
The woman has not yet been arrested. Mack
was placed under arrest and charged with
being drunk and fighting.
The row occurred at the residence OF the
couple, los North Tenth street The cause
OF the trouble is not known, as Mack was too
drunk when he was brought to the station to
give an account OF the affair. The matter
was brought to light only because an officer
stumbled across the trail of blood left by
Mack as he walked from his home to a
saloon in the burnt district, where he was
dressing the wound.

Hall Stand made like great chair. 1t is
an original idea and very effectively carried
out
Tho mirror makes the back of the chair
and the robe chest becomes the seat. Tho
corner posts are carried up In the same style
so often seen on antique Hall Chairs.
The shaping out of the front legs and
the sides Of the chair is one Of the most
effective features OF the design. The mir
ror is richly framed and the metal mountngs
are of pattern which harmonic well with
the design.
Special prominence has been given to tho
decorative possibilities. and the frame
throughout is relieved by hand carving in
