Plans Perfected for Complete and tematio Conrse of Instguction. All plans have boen porfected for the opening of the Omaha Opera Festival school on September 11 at the rooms occupied by the management on the fifth floor of the new city hall. Miss C. C. Tennant Clary, the president of the school, hias signed the con tract with Max Maretzok, the famous di- rector, who will be director and teacher of the school. This fact alone should insure the success of the school and indicates the high standard of instruction which will ob- tain The management promises that tho hool will afford a complete and systematic urso of instruction, the beginner and the singer destined to study for the parlor will find ull the udvantages offered by the best eastern schools, while the artist will have the benefit of the instruction of a master in the highest department of the art. During the first year the course of instruction will be confined to vocal music and the branches necessary for dramatic singing. A chorus will also'be trained for the seasons of opera 10 be given in Omaha under the auspices of the school. The second year it is vho in- tention of the management to place the school upon the same plan as the Cinciunati College of Music, of which Mr. Maretzek was the instructor during its most brilliant period. Since then he has beenudirvector of his own schools in New York and New Haven, Conn. Among the many brilliant sgers of the day who have been his pupils may be mentioned Kellogg, Minnie Hauk, Nordica and Patti. Those who desire to enter a professional lifo will find in the school every opportunity to study for opera, oratorio or concert. The curriculum will include singing in | clusses, privato simging instruction, fencir dancing and stage action, for which a tuition of from &5 to $100 will be' charged according to the instruction given for a six mouths course. Mr. Maretzek will be at_the school from Aucust 15 to September 11 to select voices fronramong the applicants. Itis the plan_of the management of tho school to give Omaha a season of opern early in May mnext year thut will surpass any effort of the kind ever tempted m the west. Some of the leading artists in the country have already been secured by Mr. Maretzek and their work will be supplementod by the local chorus which will bo wiven special training for that purpose. The company thus secured will make 1 tour of the western cities, including Denver, St. Paul and Kan- sas City, arrangements having been dy commenced in these cities for tio festival. The management of the school focls that Omaha will welcome and sustain the present movement established in the interest of musical development in the west. =g FOUGHT WITH 51X-SHOOTERS.

Since its estabiishment Lincoln has been a monace to all the towns occupying the position of competing points with the Capital City. Towns like Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings and Boatric have felt the forco of this Lancoln differen- | tial in more ways than ono, and the sense- less argument which Lincoln is now trying 10 establish, that with the removal of their differential these towns will be matoerially injured, falls of its own weight,” Taking fifth class freight, which moves-S0 per cent of all grocories and merchundise, as a fair example, the throuch rate from Chi- cago to Holdrege through Omaha as o pass- ing point will bo snts. Going through Lincoln the rato will be 53 cents, through Beatrico 63 cents and through Hastings 58 cents. Fstablish the Lincoln differontial again_under the Newberry bill and rates from Chicago through either Omaha or Lin- coln will be the same, 58 cents. 'The assor- tion by Lincoln jobbers that tho romoval of the difforentini will hurt such town is there- fore controverted Y But the question of distribution cuts a vory serious fizure in the discussion, as freight comes into Omaha_{ifth class in'car lots and goes out fourth class, less than car lots, for It is a very unusual thing for tho Holdrege grocer to buy a car load of soap. Taking the fifth class from Chicago to Omaha the rate is 25 conts, going out, fourth class, Omaha to Holdrege, is 37 conts, giving a through rate of 62 cents’ via Omaha. But the Holdrego men can save a cent por hun- dred if he ships via Lincoln, notwithstand- ing that the differential in that city is re- moved, as seen in the following pertinent ex- amp! Chicago to Lincoln, fifth cla: Lincoln to Holdrege, fourth class, Giving a through rate of 61 conts Take Alliance as another of the towns said to be grievously affected.

The bill related to transfor charges, freight shipped over two lines, way bills, rates and aflixing a penalty for the violazion of the L Scetion 2 of the bill provides “That wherever a shipper of freight from any point in this state uses two or more lines of railronds to reach such point of destinution, it shall be the duty of all such railronds as come under the provisions of this act 1o re- ceive and deliver all such freight in car lots on board cars upon such transfer switch (alluded toin section 1). The railroad com- pany at the point of shipment shall make a through way bill to point of destination and tho rate to bo charged for such shipment shall not be the sum of two or more locals, but shall be apportioned between the differ: ent roads according to the mileage of each necessarily used i such shipment, and shall be the rate for the shortest wilcage distance by any railroad between point of shipment and point of destination.” The innocent looking bill which slipped through the logislative mill during the clos mg hours before its final shutting down is likely to change the routing of cousiderablo live stock and other froigh When u road undertakes to haul a ship- mentof freight it is presumed that the straight progressive mileage of the. initial line will be the basis for determining tho rate at the destination of the shipment, r sardless of the fact that possibly shorter combinations could be made 1 reaching such destination, and that without conflicting The Rate | with the Packwood bill on & combination of short line distan Heretofore the Burlington has been_doing. the greater portion of the hauling of freight between Omaha and Beatrice on the ground that it had the shortest through lino, but the Packwoou bill defining that the rate on freight shipped over two lines “shatl be the rate for the shortest mileage distance by any railroad between point of shipment and point of desting * changes the condition 8 y and glves the Union he best end of thesituation.
