omcials of Gulf system Appeal 10
Commercial Club for support In
the Threatened boycott.

Secretary UT OF the Commercial club has
received a letter from J. A. Hanley, traffic
manager of the Kansas City, Pittsburg a
Gulf railroad, in which he is asked to enlist
the moral support OF the Omaha business
men to assist the Gulf route to resist the
boycott that is threatened by the other
southern lines. Mr.. Hanley says the boy
colt has been begun purely because his road
was trying to do some business from Mis-
souri, points to the seaboard by way Of the
gulf ports, and that the Gulf route proposes
to stand pat. He suggests that, as his road
has been a potent factor in securing re-
duced frenght rates from Omaha, its people
should give 1t all possible support in the
present controversy.
Secretary UT has also received a COM
munication from Commissioner w. P. Trick
EFT of the Commercial club Of Kansas City
on the same subject. Mr.. Trickett ~incloses
a copy of a circular that he is sending out
to Kansas City business men and asks that
the Omaha people take the matter up and
help boost for the Gulf route In recogni-
ton OF it's services in bringing down rail-
| road rates from Missouri points to the sea-
board.
No action has yet been taken by the local
organization, but it is likely that the mat
ter will be brought before the proper bureau
at once. some OF the jobbers assert that
Omaha shippers must hold up the hands of
the Gulf people as a matter of self-protec-
ton. They assert that since the road be.
gan operations two years ago merchandise
rates from Omaha to the seaboard have
been reduced from $1.25 and s1,35 per hun
dred to so and 80 cents on frst-class
freight. Previously the st. Louis rate to
Baltimore and New York was lie per cent
of the Chicago rate. This was computed
on a mileage basis and If the Omaha rate
had been computed in the same way 1t
would have been about 100 per cent of the
Chicago rate. But for twenty years the
roads charged an arbitrary of go cents from
the Mississippi river to Omaha and this was
only discontinued when the Gulf route came
into the field and carried the freight to the
gulf and thence on the Mallory line of
steamships to Atlantic coast points at
greatly reduced rates.
1t Is alleged that a similar effect has
been produced in grain rates and that the
| Nebraska farmers have realized 5 cents a
bushel more for their grain than they would
have secured II the old rates had been in
force. Previously the rates to Baltimore
and New York were from So to 40 cents, but
the Gulf route has out them as low as IL
cents. It is argued that IL the other roads
, should succeed in their effort to freeze out
the Gulf route the previous exactdons might
be resumed and that 1t is consequently i'm
portant that the boycott should not succeed.

hit upon the plan OF a hiding place and
found one which he supposed was a secret
from everybody. Hillman had one friend,
Robert Munney. He did not tell this friend
Of the cache for the coin, but the friend, It
seems. knew Of Hillman's habit OF laying by
change for a rainy day and watched for the
hiding place.
Hillman kept his savings in a tobacco sack
beneath a bronze clock. At the time Nun
ney discovered the sack it's contents
amounted to $40. A set OF keys to Hillman's
room were found in Munney's pockets and
his trial has been set for Monday afternoon.
Hillman came from Chicago to this city
to work at the exposition grounds last sum
mer. His seasons earnings amounted TO
81, 900. This sum was loaned TO a Twenty
fourth street shoemaker, who never returned
1t. Arrest followed, but the shoemaker was
discharged.

Industrious Youth Saves His Earnings
Only to Lose Them Through the
Duplicity of Friends.

Robert Munney was arrested Friday on the
charge of grand larceny preferred by Joseph
Hillman of 26O5 North Fourteenth street.
Munney is said to have discovered the hid
ing place where Hillman puts his earnings
for safe keeping, and to have made away
with all he found.
Hillman is a young man who has had con-

from separating him from his coin. He Id

at different times sums ranging from $50 to
$1,000. When he put his money in the bank
the bank failed. Then Hillman tried the
plan of loaning his savings to a trusted
friend. When the deposits amounted to
nearly $1,000 and the owner wished to with
draw it, the friend claimed he had been
robbed and was unable to pay back the
loans.
These experiences made Hillman suspi-
cious of men and institutions alike, so he

The most recent arrival in Omaha musical
circles is Mr.. Oscar Gareissen, a gentleman
of refinement, education and musical ability.
Mr.. Gareissen has a splendid bass voice
which he uses we'll and he will enter upon
a professional career In this place. The ad-
vent Of new leaders in musical circles is al
ways a pleasant matter to record, and es-
pecially so in this case.
1t is seldom that one hears a really pre-
cocious child in the way Of musical attain
ments, but little Miss Josephine Vanderberg
is a Wonder. What surprises one most is
her advanced knowledged of the elements of
music. Her sense of absolute pitch is also
remarkable. The child has been largely ed
ucated by her father, who is we'll known
here by the profession, and lately she has
been in the hands of DR.. Baettens. Her
violin playing shows a manner much beyond
her years.
The playing Of the Belfstedt band has at
tracted a great amount OF attention during
the last week. The Wagner selections are
greedily listened to and this band is doing
a great deal toward bringing the masses in
touch with the masters. Bellstedt was Gag
erly sought last year by the Exposition Mu-
steal department, but the engagement was
impossible, owing to the other engagements
which the band had already booked. 1t Is
pleasing to see such a universal approval of
Mr.. Bellstedt's work as a comet %soloist, a
conductor and a composer.

With this evenings performance the Troc-
adero Opera company will open the third
week of its indefinite run in this city.
Following the fixed policy of alternating
comic opera every other week with the more
classical ones, this weeks offering will be
Audran's three-act comic opera, THE Mas
%cotte,' which is one of the most ridiculously
funny pieces included In the modern roper
toire of comic operas. 1t was first produced
at the Gaiety theater, New York, in 1881 and
since that time has been produced regularly
by different opera companies throughout the
country. 1t enjoyed an entire seasons run
in New York and seems to lose none of its
popularity with Its increasing age. In the
effort to make 1t funny its authors did not
forget the musical portion of 1t and 1t
abounds In brilliant ensembles, trios and
solos. Its Italian locale offers a splendid
opportunity for gorgeous costuming and
splendid scenic effects, all of which the man
agement promises will be carefully looked
after and a production complete in every
detail may be anticipated. Miss Mortimer
will sing the part of Bettina. the mascotte,
at the evening performances. while Miss
Ethel Vane will replace Miss Mortimer in
the part at the matinees. Miss Vane is a
new prima-donna. recently added TO the
company by the management. She was for
merly with the Boston Lyric and Castle
Square companies and is said TO possess a
voice of rare culture and quality. Maurice
Hageman will play the comedy part OF
Lorenzo, the Prince of Prombino; Harry
Davies, the popular tenor of the company,
will sing the part OF Pippo; William Hicks
will play Rocco. the farmer, and Frank
lyn Fox. Matteo. the innkeeper.
