casts freeze and become like huge chunks

General Opinion Outside of Rniiway

The announcement that the Omaha, Kan.

Louis railroads part Of the Port Ar.
thur Route, would or and after today ao.
sorb the Missouri river bridge tolls on all
shipments of freight into Omaha and South
Omaha created something of stir in Omaha
railway circles yesterday. Very few of tho
freight officials visited their offices yester.
day, and none of the officials Of competing
lines up until last evening had seen the new
tariff of the Port Arthur Route which will
remove the bridge tolls. But they had all
read the announcement I'm the papers yes
terday and thought considerably more about
the move made by the new Omaha line than
they did about any sermons they CHANGED
to hear preached during the day.
Asked what he thought the effect would
be on the Burlington and other Iowa lines,
General Manager Holdrege of the b. & M,
SAID to Bee reporter: I'VE cannot tell Just
yet SO far as know the matter has no,
yet been considered by the Iowa lines. We
shall probably get together soon and dis,
| cuss the situation am6 do what appears best
for all concerned l know nothing more OF
the matter than what have read in the pa
| pers and therefore cannot give you much
| information about it,
"A irelght ofhclal OF an Iowa lire said
| II have mot seen the new tariff which MIR.
Sargent has issued, but have read all about
| 1t In the parers. The fact that Saturday
was Christmas day and the day following
was another holiday, Eo far as the railroad
| offices are concerned, has delayed consider
| alton of the matter. Nothing can be done
| before Monday, when the various Iowa lines
| VIII probably receive their copies of the
new tariff. 1t is hard to say what will be
| done, but the matter will receive very ear

| The above interviews represent the con.
| sensus of opirion among the railroad men
! interviewed yesterday. All agreed that it
was quito an important move en- the part
| Of the Port Arthur Route, but none seemed
| willing to venture prediction as to what
| the Rock Island, the Milwaukee the Bur
| lington and the Northwestern liuss would
! do in consequence Of the absorption of the
! bridge charges by new competitor.
| Outside the railway Offices the matter was
freely discussed and the general opinion ap.
peared to he that the Iowa lines would bc

lose considerable volume of business t;

Wide Open Policy.
The moves being made among the gam
blers of Omaha to have everything run wide
open" during the exposition is attracting a
great deal of attention all over the country
and numerous editorial comments are made
on the matter by the newspapers. The fol-
lowing from the Muscatine, Ia, Journal of
recent date is a fair illustration of the
character of the comment made:
Omaha gamblers, who hope to run wide
open during the Transmississippi Exposition
are rejoicing over the turning down by the
courts of state law which made gambling
a felony as unconstitutional Yet the county
attorney at Omaha says he can find plenty
of good law to thwart them. And the expo
sition authorities ought to that he does
his duty, or else with the 200 extra saloons
that have taken out licences for next year
running. as they usually do, each q gambling
annex there will be such gang of toughs
