The Tier Grand is the latest victim OF .
hotel swindler.
A man giving the name OF r. A. Almond
and purporting to be travelling for the
Colortype company of Chicago had a draft
on his firm cashed by the Tier Grand hotel.
The amount of the draft was $40. A few

almond had overdrawn his accounts with

The Her Grand is but one of several OF
the Omaha hotels that have been swtndled
out of a good sun during the last month
on bad checks. SO frequently are the
swindlers successful that the hotel pro-
prletors are thinking of calling a meeting
to form some plan whereby they may be
protected from worthless checks and
drafts.
1t is not only the Omaha hotels that
suffer, either, as is testified by w. T.
Evans, proprietor Of the Evans hotel at
O'Neill. Mr.. Evans has advised the Omaha
proprietors to be on the lookout for one
F.. r. Baker, alias F. r. Baxter, who
visited the Evans house last week for about
five days and then unceremoniously de-
parted without settling up his bill. Mr..
Evans is looking for his guest and intends
to prosecute him If he can get hold of him.

Railways Fight
Stopover Plan
Made Strenuous Effort to Abolish
Privilege Abused by
Smaller Cities.

A strenuous effort will ne made by west
ern railroads to abolish stopover privileges
on excursion tickets. The railroads made
an opening by granting stopover privileges
at some of the larger cities which had
places OF interest which travellers want to
see. Smaller towns took up the cry and
asked for stopovers and got them until at
present a traveller on an excursion ticket,
sold at a reduced rate has about as many
privileges as a person travelling on a first
class ticket, When Omaha was given stop
over privileges Lincoln wanted them and
then Des Moines and then Burlington and
then Waterloo until there was no end to
the demand.
The Union Pacific has arrange for two
special trains to convey the delegates to

ton of Street and Interurban Railways at

Death of Myrtle
Not INDICATED

Having Killed the Gray
Mare.

Tony Lobue. Joe Montofiel, Marine Ri
paula and Joe Tierco, who were accused
a few days ago of slaughtering one grey
mare named Myrtle, which was minding
its own business in Herman Muenster's
pasture lot out at Lane. lave been released
from prison.
Mrs, Muenster swore Upon the stand
that one of the men shot Myrtle before her
very eyes, in fact, she said she knew
they were intending to shoot Myrtle before
they did it, and she was standing in the
window waiting for it when it actually
happened.
All that could be otherwise proved, how
ever, was that one of the Italians owned
a gun; that on the afternoon Of Myrtie's
demise there had been some shooting,
and that after the smoke had cleared
Myrtle lay with a gunshot wound in her
breast. But as no motives of hatred or
self-defense could be proved against the
Italians they were released.

SPEED WAR BAD FOR OMAHA
Reduction in Time by Hill and Har-
riman Means Detour.
GATE CITY MAY BE PASSED UP
Union Pacific Determined 60 Outrun
burlington Even ~ IL Has 70
Go from MIssouri valley
TO Fremont.

Union Pacific officials say that in all
probability they will meet the two hours
reduction in time which the Burlington
has made between Chicago and Denver
for its two fast trains.
incidentally Omaha stands a good chance
to get the worst Of this reduced time deal.
The Burlington already has announced
that one Of its trains will give Omaha the
go-by and will be run from Pacific Junction
via Louisville. The Union Pacific officials
insinuate that to meet the time they may
be forced to run their trains from Missouri
Valley to Fremont and thus pass up the
Gate City.
The war is on. The Burlington already
has announced a cut of two hours and the
Hartman people say they don't propose to
be outdone when they have a double track
all the way from Chicago TO Watson's
Ranch and some OF the finest equipments
in the country.
This is the first cut in the schedule since
1907. when the running time was heightened
because of the congested condition Of the
western roads. when the railroads were
doing more business than at any time in
their history and when construction work
was going on at the same time
The Burlington has Just completed an ex-
penditure Of 500, 900, 900 in track improve
ment. s4,5OO, 900 in strengthening bridges and
building new bridges Of reinforced concrete,
s47S, 900 in additional telegraph facilities and
blocking stations, The Burlington has also
spend $40, 900, 900 for new and better equip
ment since ]. ]. Hill acquired the line.
Figuring Down the speed.
For two years the Burlington has con-
Quoted an exhaustive daily system of speed
tests to see what speed trials could main
tain within the limit of safety. Speed re-
corders have been Installed on PSI engines
that the trains may be kept at a uniform
maximum speed and the destination may
be reached without reckless running. The
Burlington points with pride to its record
of carrying 2O,O00,o0 people last year with
out a fatality.
The trains put on the shortened schedule
will carry a complete set of new equip
ment of distinctive type and finer than
anything yet In service in this country.
Hartman officials are very reticent about
time changes, but they say that II forced
to do SO they can easily outrun the Bur-
~llngton, especially II they were to cut off
Omaha, for that would give them the
shortest line between Chicago and Denver
besides having the advantage of a double
track.
The fast trains which the Hill lines will
run in sixty-two hours between Chicago
and Seattle will not pass through Omaha,
but via st. Paul. Here again a merry war
may be expected In the spring when the
Milwaukee has its through trains in op-
GRAFTON, for the Milwaukee will have a
much shorter line to the coast besides hav-
ing the line of least grades.

RAIN QUEEN AS A MASCOT
Little Shetland Pony Seeks Shelter at
Fire Engine House and is
Cordially Admitted.

Whoa"
The invitation, coming from Fireman
Tom Mitchell on the second floor Of tho
engine house at Eighteenth and Harvey
streets, was too welcome to pass up, and
so the sorrel Shetland pony to which 1t
was directed, stopped, shifted the iron
chain across the doorway Of the engine
house, lifted It with its nose and walked in.
Now the men at the engine house rave
become so attached to the stray pony they
are thinking of remaining 1t Rain Queen
and keeping it for the mascot of the COM
panies housed there, The name was sug-
gested by the fact that the pony was
dripping wet from the rain when It wan
dered into the hands Of the firemen. s.
1t is a sorrel mare, about three feet
high, with harness marks under the left
ear and on the left shoulder. Rain
Queen will be housed and fed by the

MAY RAISE THE TUITION FEE
Board of Education VIII Discuss 1t,
but DR.. Davidson IL Opposed
60 Increase.

Some action win probably be taken at
the next meeting OF the Board Of Education
anent raising the tuition fee to the local
high school OF children living in the
suburbs and other cities and towns. Super
intendent Davidson believes the board will
take this action, though he has advised
against it. for the reason that the exact
cost OF education in the school has never
been determined.
Nonresident students are now charged
$47 a year tuition. This, according to DR..
Davidson, is less than the cost OF giving
the education. He believes that the tuition
fee should be raised. that nonresidents
should not be given al education cheaper
than those children living in Omaha, but
he advises that action be postponed until
It can be definitely determined just what
it costs to take a child through the high
school.
