South Omaha Packers Can Now Buy South- western Stock. ‘Within the uext fortnight South Omaha, unless all promises fail, will be overrun with Texas cattle, the Rock Island haviug put into effect its cut on the cattle business from Kanses City, the differential now beiug $12.50 per car instead of §20, the rate heretofore. As long as six months ago the Rock Island gave notice that in good time it would reduce the rate, oven should the Transmissourl Freight association re- fuse to permit the road to put the new differ- ential proposed in active operation by giving the usual ten dJays notice required by the rules of the association in such cases. The Rock Island, having started in the matter of giving relief to South Omaha and furnishing the packers of the Magic City with & class of canners which heretofors has been shut out of the pack, pushed the matter assiduously. Associations cither refused to graut the concossions asked or tacitly refused to tako cognizance of the matter. Appeals woro taken and every im- pediment thrown in the way of the suc- cessful carrying out of the scheme to grant relief. Weck before last the Transmissouri association refused to grant the rate, and vhe Rock Island people then gave notice that they wouwld put the differential into efféct on Sunday, and ten days after final action by the association another rate has gone into effect. L 1= Heretofore Texas cattle which went into use during June, July and August, between the marketing of native and range cattle, have been virtuaily shut out of the markets of South Omaha on account of the £20 rate charged between Kansas City and South Omaba. These cattle were brought to the city by the Kaw's mouth and Omaha packers were compellea to pur- chase there or else do without. This worked 8 great hardship, as the South Omaha pack- ers were compelled to go into the markets of the world alongside Kansas City packers and sells their tins at _the same price as thewr southern rivals, notwithstanding the differ- ence of $20 in favor of Kansas City . By tue action of the railroads Omaha is placed almost on & level with Kaa- sas City, and local packers may now go into Texas and ~purchase di- rect for homoe consumption, or Texas dealers may come to Omuba and murkot their stock directly to packers, removing the embargo which Kansas City has enjoyed for magy moons. W. E. Skinner, traveling live stock agent of the Union tock vards, is now located at Fort Worth, Tex., working up the cattle business for south Omaha, and it 15 regarded a consurvative prediction that 50,000 cattle will be marketed in South Omana during the next two months by reason of the Rock Island’s cutin the rate, ———— SEEKING OFFICE.

VALLEY'S NEW OPERA HOUSE Interesting Exeroises at the Formal Open- ing of the Stractura, ATTRACTIVE FEATURES OF THE BUILDING” Many Ry Why it Should Be the Pride of the Village and the Surrounding Ca try—Spocches, Songs And Danelng. Varuey, Neb,, June 21.—[Special to Tne Ber.]—The citizens of Valley and of the surrounding couutry donned their Sunday clothes today und troated themselves to o nalf holiday 1o properly colebrato tho dedi- cation of the new Valloy opera house that was on this occasion first thrown open to the public. [t was quite an event in tho history of this enterprising town, marking as it does an important stop forward in its educ tional and social life, and as such 1t was most fittingly observed. The projectors of the entorprise wers un- wiliing that its consummation should be ua- noticed save by the customary bail, and accordingly arranged au elaborato program oceupying the ontirve afternoon and evening. The affaic passed off most successfully and happily in all its details, and to the intense satisfaction of all who were proseut ew edifice was erectea solely to sup- ply the demand for a publie ball, and is not, therefore, an alirost inaccessible second floor ov er the store of some enterprising business wan, but was built with sole refereuce to the ' purposs for which it was in- tended, aud is, in comsequonce, the finest opera house, bath in point of size and up- pointmeuts, of which nuy little town in the state of oven larger sizo than Valley can boast, 1t is as pear perfoction as the utmost care aud close attention to details on the part ot its builders could make it with the capital placed at thoir disposal. The building is 30x70 feet in size and cost complote $3,330. The auditorium, wh has a scating capacity of i is 30 feet and a stago 16x30 feor furnishes much wore room than 1s ordinarily found in a small opera house. Tho proscenium arch 18 11x16 feet, giviug an_ unobstrucied view of the entire stage from ail parts of the house. The stago is thoroughly fitted up with curtains, wings, flies, sceuery, foot- lights aod all appurtenances neces- sacy to the satisfactory prescn- tation of any ordinary performance. The acoustic properties of the house, as dewonstrated today, are very fine, the lowest utterances of the speakers oeing perfectly audivle oven inthe most vemole corners Under the stage are two large dressing rooms, and bacik of then ce room, which, however, is as yet vacant, but will bo utilized latar in tho year, as the structurq 1s to be heated by the ot air system. The auditorium was built with a lovel floor, as the house is to Le devoted to pubhe gathorings of all kinds, and an inclined floor could not therefore have been so generally nulized, To Be Used for Lodge Purposes. Cloak rooms ana the box office take up the floor spaco on either side trom which also of the entranc leads the stairway to the second floor. This floor was arrauged for lodgs purpose: and with its ante rooms and all necessar 4 y paraphernalia in the way of wood work or fixtures is well nigh perfoct in its appoint- ments. The lodge room is 18x60 feet, and is so arranged that tho goats of tho three se- crot organizations that have already cngsged quarters there may be scparately stabled without any fear of a possible collision. The interior is finished in oil, with dark trimmings that relieve the sameness of a plamn finish and at the same time bring out more clearly the beauties of the ornate wood work. The outward appearance of the building is equally pleasing, stanaing as 1t does almost across the head of the principal stroet, a beautiful view of which, as well as of the surroundiug country i3, to be obtained from the roomy balcouy on the second floor, I'ne structure would be a credit 1o a town four times the siza of Valley, aud it is not Lo bo wondered at that not only Valley, but ail the surrounding country is proud of the 100nument to enterprise and public spirit. At the opening of the afternoon exercises every scat iu the house was taken aud all availablo standing room was occupied, and $0 great was the interest that, although the prozram was a lengthy one, thero was no diminution in the crowd. Itev. R. S. Craw- ford offered tho dedicatory prayer, and a piano and violin duet was pleasingly rendered by Miss Pederson and \Villum ' Jacobson. W. G. Whitmore, president of the opera nouse association, delivered the opening ad- dress, in which ho referred 1o the adverse termination of previous ventures of this kind. He said that 100 many cooks had spoiled the broth, aud a few mon had finally gotten together a few months ago and sub- scribed £2,000 to fill tho long felt want, The young folks nad concluded that “they wanted all theatrical appurtenances in connection with it. and had raised §150 for that purpose. It was sup- posed that tho cost had been carefully ap- proximated, but it had amounted to over 50 per cent more than was anticipated. The subscribers, however, proposed to cheerfully ante up, and no uneasiness need bo feit on that score. A ladies quartette, composcd of the Misses Park, sang very ucceptabiy, *Mooulight Will' Come Again,” after which J. J. Points, 0sq., of Omaha, was ntroduced. Mr. Points spoke of the surprising changes in Valley since he knew it as county superin- tendenta few years ago. He said’ thai the life and characteristics of a peoplo might be read by their buildings. ‘They build first to their gods, then to tueir princes and lastly to themselves. They build almost always irst_temples, then palaces, then for themselves, I'he Speaker was glad that the citizeus of Valley had reached the pot after building homos for themscives to ercct this structure for the education, entertalnment, cujoyment and amusement of her people, a8 superstition and ignorance made slaves of humanity. He hoped it would be dedicated to Lreedom of speech and that free discussson woald rule. He hoped that all classes would find equal representation there, particularly womeb, v/hose influsuce he declarea to bo ia- creasing as tho years go by, He did not by- lieve thut freedom hurt men, but that on the contrary it was only whou restrained that men became criminals and paupers. Should Be Open to He wanted the place dedicated to charity —not the charity confined to alms giving, buttho broad Christian charity that does away with evil thoughit and leaas to words of sympathy and kinduess to others. He would also have it dedicated to soclal meetings, liko unto the old fashioned New Englaud town meetings, which were the fouudation of all good government; where all could becomo acquaintod and learn to respect each other. Ho wanted this because tyrauts had ever been those who did not mix with their fellows. In s0 far as their ability might extend, he desived to have the building dedicated to art—music, drama wnd oratory, all sources of wspiration to higher aod botter wings. Fiually, he wanted it dedicated to the in- vestigation of questions in stute, church and society. He declared that the temple of freedom is yot to be buwilt, and these ques- tions on which so much depends must bo settled by eact for himself. The old yeomanry is disappeariog.

R. Scott of Omaha spoke on the practical losson to be drawn from the day. Ho thought the greatest lesson was that we bonetited ourselves most when we benefited our neighbors. — Another lesson was th of fraternal love. He saia that the world had boon buildine mouuments since tho world began, and would so continué 10 do, eitnor for tho living or the dead. This structure was built as a monument, but if i§ had no principles back of it it was ercoted 1 vain. Every man and woman aro erecting monumeuts, whother thoy know 1t or noty and all would loave them to be seen and vis- ited by thoso who como after thom. If th object of this building was to make bette husbands and wives, botter fathors and mothers and children; it iy was to cause a mother's face to put on wnother smile! If home life was to bo bettered and perpetuatod by it! If the com- mon school system was to be purified and built up by it, it was cheap oven if it had cost ten million of money, Chancellor J. H. Cantield of tho Stato uni- versitv was the nextsveaker. He said he was alwavs glad to countenance any good thing, as all good things work torether for all other good things. He sometimes thought it strange that all the prosont is tied to the past. The picket fonce of today is a rolic of the burbarous ares #vhen logs were placed on end by men who had to quarantine themselves against thelr Inwless neighbors. Tu the churches men are today at the head of the pows, supposedly as evidence of their lordship, a lorashin, how- ovor, oftener folt than actually existing. It was as a matter of fact only a rolic of the days when each man sat ready to seize his gun and rush to the wocden shuttor to dofend tho more readily those ho loved. The dapper younz man with the cane was a relic of the davs when every man was allowed to earry hisspear in public, Two buttoas were stiil worn on the coat behind, but no one could tell why. Tho tw lower wown, that bhad in the early dave served the purpose of buttoning the pockots together, had gradually dropped 02t of sigat in the scientific evolutionary pracess of a coat, but the others still cmained, simply a3 relics of tho other duvs. was this gathering tied 1o the old toiwn meeting, and that in turn to tho gathering of tho elder and wiser men, and so on back still further. “This is the place,” smd tho speaker, vhere thoso interested in tho best growsh of the community may moet in consuitation, It shows a spirit of helpfulness. The time never has boen when it was marked by greater unselfishness than the present. Other Features of the Day, *“The best work done today 1s gratuitous— women's work on school boards and as trus- tees, and men bullding museums, librarios and churcnes. Ho who lives solely for him- | self canvot live at ull; ho can meroly exist. It was this spirit of interest in thé publio welfavo that led to the erection of this build ing. There is lack today of common ex- pression of common sentimont on common quostions of everyday importance. The old Lyceum 1s out ot date. It has given place to the press, ana to a largo extent the pross is downg it better thau it was ouce dono Dy tho platform. The pross is uot as good as it might be, but it 15 as good as nooplo do sire to haveit. Itis intomperate at times but so is tue individual, Toose who read the press don't fully comprohend its re- sourcos and that by it they commaud the knowledge, skill and learning of the thou sands of writers and operators whose ser- vices are employed, “Think of what it is to place the daily papers of Omaha in this city in the morning, that you may know the doings of tho motrop- olis, the spoech of yostorday, the sermon of Sunday, the situation nere and the acoident yonder. Ido not wish to detract in the least from tLe press, but with all its facilities and rosources it can't take the place of the old debate. The word of mouth, even if faltering, appeals to you directly and siucerely as printed pago cannot, and the tongue appeals as oold typo cannot, There is all the differenco in tho world in doing something yourself and hav- ing somebody do it for you. A general mental weskness has come with the pross, The press has fed us so much that we aro s cemingly ever ready nad constantly expuct- ing moro. Aand with this - comes tho tendency to allow all to come 1n at one ear and go out at the other. Tam glad you ure to revive the old town mesting here, nd will renow aiscussion of topics of interest. The leading feature of this cen- tury 1s alert intelligence. The uneducated, ignorant man of today goes to the wall. He is simply an auimal, and does not bring as inuch in the markel as even other animals, becauss he has not as much muscle and is not willing to follow uirections. ‘The thoroughly ignorant man is always one who knows it ail and nover mukes a mistake, Ho puts himself on tuo lovel with the brute, and yor can’s compete with brute muscle or with machinery. Hs has not the show today that he used to have. In the old days clocks were mado with wooden wheels, but the wooden wheels can’t compete with the stop watch of today. Men used to travel with ox teams, but ox teams are not selected for long journeys. Thoy call them the good old days, I'm glad thoy call them so—the ola days good because so far in the roar. A man must recognize the alertness and intelligence with which business is done today. If be does not he is hanging onto the ond of the nineteenth century as a boy hangs onto the hind end of & wagon on @& cold morning, dragging and half catching up and drag2ing again, too lazy to climb in, If a man is willfully ignorant and slothful, I nope God will bave pity on him, for it is cor- tain that man will hi one, Tuo time has fone by when man will take pity on ignors ance and slothfuluess in this dayv and age, Some men hzog on to the bottom round of tho ladder,” with mouth wide open waiting for something to drop - in. They wult for an opportunity, while thousands of strong young men around thom are makiog their opportunities. Waiting for an_opvortunity is like going into a pasture with o milk pail ana milking stool and wait. ing for the cows to como and be milked. Tue necessity for alert intolligence ap- plies to. both sexes, It takes two halves to make a whole, and if only one half be developed you onl} have half a commumty after ail The simplest question to be considered is that of existence.
