matter, but say that they believe that the
delay in the handing down of the decision
shows that the court sees no reason to
change the existing order of things and
from this they argue that the court will
find that the present conditions in Nebraska
are working no hardships on the shippers
of that State If the decision should be
against the roads there will be some very
badly surprised officials
1t is likely that a meeting of the West
ern Passenger Association viii be called
IN the near future to consider the Ques-
ton of rates TO Southern territory. These
are in very bad state of decentralization
and unless something is done in the near
future to remedy matters 1t is likely that
an open war will be waged between the
roads. The Northern connections of the
lines between Kansas City and the Gulf
of Mexico ports are becoming very rest
less over the situation and they will take
such steps as they can to put the rates
on a firm basis once more The matter will
likely come UP before the meeting to be
held the latter part of this month. when
the. question of Alaska rates viii be con-
sdered in a general mass meeting.

tourists, Excursions \ FaiIure

Tt has not taken long to demonstrate that
running tourist cars to California points is
an unwise thing to do. A passenger official
said last night after learning the results Of
the tourist excursion run by the Pennsyl-
vania Company from points on the Panhan-
die and the Vandalia and the excursions run
by the Baltimore & Ohio that ii was very
evident that the amount of business each
line might do with weekly tourist cars at
excursion rates will not justify the expense
attached TO running such cars, and he
thought the officials of the Pennsylvania
lines end the Baltimore & Ohio would drop

California Disappointing.

Charles Merrill, general Southwestern
travelling passenger agent of the New York
Central, one of the veterans in service and a
man of more than ordinary ability, in con-
versation yesterday said he thought the
anti-scalping bill was all right, but it
needed one amendment, and that was a
clause which would make it illegal for q
road to deal with a scalper. There has
not said he, been time in the last
twenty years that scalping of tickets had
become so much of business that the gem
eral passenger agents OF the roads could not
have closed in thirty days every ticket
scalping Office. There is a good deal Of
truth in the statements of the scalpers that
their business has been supported and en-
couraged by a majority of the roads. The
weak lines have been obliged to work with
scalpers to get business, and the strong
lines have made it an excuse that they must
work with scalpers to protect their busi-
ness, and in many cases the roads which
have entered the most vigorous protests
against the scaping of tickets have been
the greatest sinners of ALL"

The tax duplicates of the county show
that certain real estate is listed for taxa
ton in the name of De PAW University.
The original charter granted the college
gave the institution the right to hold unim-
proved real estate not exceeding $50 coo free
from taxation. Recently DR.. Hickman and
A. l.. Mason, representing the college, filed
sorting the belief that the property, aside
from improvements belonging to the insti-
tuition in the State, will aggregate less than
$4,000. County Attorney Brown was asked
to give an opinion in the matter and yes
terday did so. He thinks, if the facts as set
out in the statement of DR.. Hickman and
A. L. Mason are correct, the county has
no right to claim taxes on the real estate
of the college located in this county.

claims prior to her own She brought the

Letter Carrier Loyd's Complaint.


Omer Lloyd. a carrier in the employ of the
indianapolis postohice, brought a suit for
divorce yesterday from Estelle Lloyd to
whom he was married in December 1891.
A separation took place last August. The
plaintiff charges that his wife became in
fatuated with Edward N. Messick with
whom she held clandestine meetings on the
streets and in the parks He declares Mrs.
Lloyd frequently stated she had no love for
the plaintiff, and was careless and indiffer-
ent as q housewife. Lloyd AYERS that his
occupation as mail carrier kept him away
from home at fixed and indefinite hours, and
he says his wife took advantage of this fact
to meet Messick. The husband claims the
defendant never told him of her affection
for this man, but when he inquired of her
as to her whereabouts she would say she
plaintiff ayers that for nearly two years
prior to their separation his wife and Mes
sick met nearly every Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Lloyd, he AYERS, accepted presents from
MeSSick, declaring they came from her sis
ter. Aug. "a the date of their separation,
the plaintiff says he had arranged to go out
with some friends in the evening, and in
formed his wife he would probably not be
in until a late hour. He went out, he says,
but returned sooner than he expected. He
found his wife absent. He says his sus-
self in a convenient place, he awaited her
return. At late hour he asserts she came
along in the company of MeSSick. The
plaintiff AYERS that when the pair diScoV-
cred him they ran. He then left the woman,
he says, and has not since lived with her.
