Omaha's Black Duke, ow-ed by Colonel Don Chamberlain, however, is equally as good a dog, but not quite so striking in his tout ensemble as a bench winner. He is of the same strain and will yet take a place in the history of this lovely animal. Jack Evans' bull terrier, Gem, is a strong fellow, and, while Omaha can show something better within the confines of the tight little isle, it would be difficult to tie him here. He is a bird. Harry Moores has the only bull dog on the show, Wabash Cinders, and he is so ugly that he is pretty. He took the blue rag. The collie display is a_remarkably fine one and in fact the Omaha-Kennel club may well be proud of its second annual triumph.

In the display of remarkable dogs the show ranks with the best of the blg eastern cities, and no person interested in the bigher breed- ing of these animals should fail to drop in at the hall before the chance Is gone. On the Omaha kennel's bench was seen yesterday such dogs as Langtry B., the finest little fox terrier bitch In the country, and the equal of any in the world. She is a “bute, i and of course carried off the first honors in her class. Then there is a big Kennel of champlon Scotch terriers from Burlington, Ia., that are the admiration of all lovers of the wedge-face. Dr. B. Holvotchiner's Chi- buahua terrier Nip s a handsome specimen and much admired. Howard's kennel of pugs from Columbus, O., is long lingered over by admiring spectators, Drummer being the king of the kennel, and valued at $2,000. In black and tans there s a great show, but Wilson's champion bench winner, Queen IIL, is the great card. She is & marvelougly beautiful animal. The Blenheim spaniels make a fine attraction, Mrs. Moore of this city making a conspicuous Qlsplay. In Beauty she owns a priceless jewel, There is a large kennel cf Italian grey hounds, that mystic canine of the sunny clime, and in St. Bernards a better display than that made by the Nebraska man, A.

Osmaday, the c:le brated wolf hound, the property of C. H Ballinger, 18 a fascinating exhibit, while the Rockwood, Ky., bloodhounds are hemmed in by curious sightseers all the time. The bloodhound s a weird, fellow, and people never tire of looking at him. J. P. Jackson of this city walks away with the Newfoundland laurels, his Duke and Bessie both being ele- gant specimens, In red Irish setters the display is a royal one, The great Tinglas, from the Kildare kennels, has no superior on top of the earth, or under It either, so far as that goes. He is only held at $15,000, a fortune for a hunt- ing dog. The Kansas City kennels surprise all with their beautiful and nervy English setters, Sue H belng a bitch of unspeakable beauty and worth. Dr. Whinnery, M. C. Peters and others have a great layout in this beautiful epecies, and Charlie Johannes Smoke Is @ thing of beauty and a joy forever.

The announcement comes from Chicago that the Milwaukee has made a reduction in rates on hard coal from that! city, Sheboygan, Milwaukee and other eastern common points to Omaha and Missourl riyer points. For several years the rate on hard coal from Chicago to Omaha has been $3.20 per ton and all efforts to secure a reduction of the rate have been unavailing. The Mil- waukee, on its own motion, has reduced the rate from $3.20 to $2.50, a cut of 70 cents per ton. Official notice of the reduction has not been received by the local agent of the Mil- waukee and nene of the other roads have an- nounced as yet what action they will take in the matter. While the reduction Is somewhat radical from an old established rate, it will not have the effect of reducing the price of hard coal to consumers in Omaha, but it may have the effect of preventing a raise in prices, which has been promised by the dealers on or about October 1. No one seems to be abie to ex- plain just why a reduction of 70 cents a ton on the price of coal should not benefit the consumer, but the dealers have figures which show that it cappet. Hard coal is quoted at Chicago and“Milwaukee now at $4.50. With $2.50 added for freight and the usual 50 cents for carting and the dealer would be doing business for fun in retaling coal at the present price of 0 per ton. The dealers are not doing) business for fun and the $7.60 that they arg getting for coal now affords them a profit{ But that's an- other story. When the cut in mq’ price of hard coal was made a few weeks agd no one seemed to b: able to give any explanation. The rate on coal from Chicago was then $3.20, the old figure, and there was no open reduction in the market price of the commodity on the Jobbing market in Chicago and Milwaukee, But there was a feature of the business that was new. Before this season the coal had always been billed to the local dealers f. o. b. at Chicago, with the freight to Omaha added. This year there was a change and the coal was billed to the local jobbers f. o. b. at Omaha. The freight bills show that the regular rate of $3.20 is charged, but no one pretends to believe that it has been paid. There s no question but that the roads have been secretly cutling rates to get the business and it is a fact that one Omaha-Chicago line has hauled most of the hard coal which has been delivered in Omaha this season. The open cut of the Milwaukee s supposed by local dealers to simply mean that the Mil- waukee proposes to do openly what some of the other lines have been doing secretly Until official notice is received of the Milwau- kee's cut there will be no action taken by the other roads.

This includes Mrs. Nellie Giles. Her dislike for the sunny atmosphere of central Nebraska has been the means of forcing George C. Giles, to bring an action for divorce.

Y., Sept. 20.—The hearing before Attorney General Hancock on the action brought by C. A, Whelan of this city against the American Tobacco company to restrain the trust from'doing business in this state was begun today. Joseph H. Choate, with Oudin & Oakley, appears for the Amerie can Tobacco company and E. N. Wilson of this city, with Einstein & Guterman of New York, as counsel for Mr. Whelan, Mr. Wilson opened the argument, fully setting forth the allegations of the petition ers, and charging the trust with conspiracy, He gaid that each of the firms comprising it had formerly done business separately. The capital stock of the companics, he sald, was 000,000, although the actual assets of the | firms comprising the trust was not more than $5,000,000. He contended that the capi- | tal was fictitious and that the avarice and greed of the trust would never be satisfied until it had eaten up all of the corporations. Under the method employed it would be an easy matter for the trust to pay a dividend of from 10 to 12 per cent. The American | Tobacco company, Mr. Wilson argu:d further, was gotten up for the control of the market Colonel Fuller at the e of Mr. Wilson's address presented the claims of the company. The first important contention that he made | on behalf of the ct the price of cigarettes, both to jobbers and consumers, ‘been lower since the trust was organ- ized than ev fore. The trust, he says, denles that since its organization it has abe | sorbed any other maunfacturers. He charged tho petitioner with recklessn in the charges made. The trust alleges, he sald, that it incr 1 its business in its lines of much more than In cigarettes. It 30,000,000 pounds of tobacco annually in ways than clgarette manufacturing, while it uses but 10,000,000 pounds of tobacco annual making cigarettes. It is admitted | that the trust fixes the prices of its own goods and also that In certain. cases it has refused to consign Its cigarettes to certain jobbers, but only because its own goods were being improperly used.
