THE OMAHA DA1JV BEE: WF,I HSI1A V. .ITS 15 SO. 1!)00. BATOR HOOKES VINDICATED Court Sots tbo Sal of lu Approul oa His Official Acts. ENTITLED TO THI AM3UNT HE CLAIMS JikIrp Maxtor lloliln (lint Uir- Count) Co mm If I ii tier fnn .ot Si-t fi Counter Clnlni In Ansvier to HIn Itlll. llayor Moorcs received a further vindica tion In Judge Maxtor's court yesterday of lila olTlclal Integrity as clerk of tho dis trict court. The Judge decided that the for jner clerk was entitled to $8,000, which has been held out by the county commissioners since tho conclusion of Mr. MoorcV term In 1S9G. The county commissioners claimed that Inasmuch ns the money was all paid to rhorlffs after the latters' retirement from ofllcc tho clerk could not receive credit for tho payments. The decision or Judgo Max tor was as follows: "This question coming on to be heard un der tho evidence adduced by tho plaintiff nnd the defendant ns to the right of the county to claim a Eot-oft as against the flalin of tho plaintiff for all nionoys paid liy him to ox-Sheriffs Hoyd, Ilenuet und Co liurn nftcr their terms of olllce had expired, tho court finds that tho county is estopped to net up Its counter claim for moneys paid liy Clerk Moorcs to said ex-shcrlffs and disallows tho counter claim set up 5n tho answer In referenco to tho counter claim? of tho county against tho plaintiff for moneys paid by tho plaintiff to cx-Shcrlfti Hoyd, Lcnnet and Coburn prior to Novotn tior, I SHI, when notlco was given by tho county to Clerk Moorcs not to pay any more moneys to ox-sherlffs." Tho mayor has won without exception each of tho twenty-ono cases against the county eo far adjudicated and the victory yesterday being tho most Important of Ml, was gratifying to the executive lu view of tho attacks upon his record during the campaign. At tho conclusion of his term In January, 1S90, tho mayor presented to tho county com mlssloners bills for nearly $30,000, tho amount being made up of sums paid In fees to dlffnrcnt oinclals. The commissioners al lowed $20,500 of tho bill, but produced coun ter claims footing up $11,000. Judge llaxtcr lnt month recognized the Injustice of the county's claim with respect to $C,000 of the jnoney and yesterday's decision disposes of tho balance. Tho present case Is In a way decisive of tho other canes which tho, mayor lias ngalimt tho cotlnty and their adjudlca t Ion is simply a matter of laborious check ing over of the books. MRS.

In tho meantime, however, tho shortage Is Bald to have grown un,!JI It exceeded $1,000.

Presidents of west ern railroads met here today to evolve tome plnn by which the rate demoralization might bo avoided anil the revenues of their re spective roads Increased thereby. The plnn which It Is believed will bo accepted Is practically n system of local pools under which the gross tonnago of the various rail roads will be equitably apportioned. The plan was Indorsed In a general way by the presidents nt their recent meeting In Now York and was turned over to various com mittees of different ronda to bo framed up In detail. Tho details have been consid ered by these committees and tho whole plan, which alms to regulnto tho passenger and freight business In western association territory, wnB today laid beforo tho presi dents. Tho plan provides for the division of tho territory west of Chicago nnd St. Louis Into local districts. Chlcago-St. Louis lines will form ono district or group, Chicago Omaha lines another group and so In west ern passenger and freight association terri tory. At tho head of each district will be a committee composed of tho tralllc officials of each railroad lino In tho district. At their head, according to tho plan, thero will be a Joint agent, whoso duty It will bu to see that tho committee works in harmony with Itself. Questions nlfectlng tho wholo or ganization of local districts will bo laid be foro n general commlttco composed of nil the locol committees. Tho committees nro at nil times to keep In close touch with tho executives.

When tho decision In tho celebrated Omiiha-Kansns City differential fight on packing hoiiso product shipments to tho eouthcust was made by Oeorgo Olds, arbi trator, wherein the differential was reduced from li cents to 3 cents per 100 pounds, the question wns considered only In lln relation to shipments In carload quantities. An other phono of file subject has now como up for consideration by tho freight representa tives of western lines tho differential on shipments In quantities less than carload. Secretary John Utt of the Commercial club, who has given minute attention to this subject and to whom much of tho credit for tho victory won by Omaha is accorded, nays relative to this side of tho question: "Omaha Is not particularly Interested In the differen tial on less than carload shipments of pack ing bouse products to southeastern nnd Carolina territory for thp reason that there aro but few small shipments from the local packing houses. In carload lots tho business amounts to thousands of cars yearly, but shipments In less than cnrlcads nro hardly oi lmpoitanco cnougn to demand particular attention. I am certain that with tho pre cedent eStnhllHllPil hv thn Inunrln,. nt tlin carload differential the freight officiate who uvo to uo with tho nam nc of such dlfferen. tin! will determine "non one thnt will 1m satisfactory to tho Omaha packers."

J. Hlunknll nnd Lylllan Atwood. who ctaay tho leading roles In a theatrical pro duction now running at one of the local playhouses, were married Tuesday afternoon at Uellevue. The marriage was accom plished under circumstances somewhat ro mantic. In 1S61 tho father and mother of Mr. Hlunkall were marrlel at H?llcvue. In the ofllco of tho county Judge. The acme of this marriage long years ago was the Interior of a newly erected court house, long since appropriated as a private dwelling and occupied by a justice of tho peace, Judge Gojg. Mr. Ulunkall's mother, whose home Is In San Francisco, knew of tho approaching marriage of her eon and Miss Atwood. Tuesday morning a letter wns receive 1 fr.m her In which she requested that the cere mony bo solemnized nt Hcllevue, whore her own wedding took place. The mother's suggestion was considered a happy one by Mr. tllunkall and Miss Atwoad. Together with W. O. Lindsay and MIm Graco Valali they drove to Paplllon Tuesday nttornoon, procured a marrlago license and returned to Hcllevue. Tho marriage was performed In tho same room whero Mr. Hlunkall's par ents wero wedded thirty-six years ago.

Tho benefit tendered Manager Jake Iloccn tbal at Hoyd'H theater lan night was one of thoso happy functions which have their origin In a spirit of good fellowship which tho hurry and sclflshneca of our strenuous life have not yet been able to wholly eradi cate, it was a magnificent testimonial to the esteem In which Mr. Hctienthal Is held by his many friends In thla community and was i a compliment which hu must deeply appro- elate. For tho audience wan both largo and , appreciative and tho participants In the too , long program vied with each other In the excellence of their offerings and In tho ar-; tlstlo manner In which these were rendered, j Tho performance was opened with nn old- tlmo minstrel net In which a number of clover entertainers took part. In this part Mr. Hoscnthal, assisted by Hilly West, did a llttlo "fitunt" which was well received. Thero was, of course, the usual number of local Jokc3 all of them In very good taste; Intorsperncd with musical numbers that were admirably given. In tho second part Interest naturally cen tered around the appearance of Mme. Dollio Ilnthbun-Chcsley, who made her debut be fore an Omaha audience. Public Interest had been aroused to some extent nt least by tho flattering reports of her work In other cities and It Is a pleasure to be able to state, after hearing her. that none of her critics seems :m yet to have taken the full measure of her ' greatness. 'Asldo from a. few divas who have appeared In grand opera nnd who can almost bo counted on the lingers of one hand i Omaha music lovers havo nover had the prlvllego of listening to a greater singer than .Mine. Kathbun-Cheslcy proved hctsclf to bo last night. Her voice Is a pure so prano of wide range, perfectly uudcr control, flexible, crystallluo In quality nnd of thnt cxqulstto tlmbro that Is met with so sel dom. Sho has tho crlistlc temperament and her tones aro full of warmth and per meated with a feeling that finds Its exprcs- olon In her luminous cyvs and mobile face. In eomo respects sho has not been well taught, but her faults are, happily, minor ones that can be easily corrected. Tho prin cipal facts to be noted nro that she has a volco of wonderful sweatnefs, of considerable power, good carrying quality, that her enun ciation is delightfully distinct and that sho possesses nn admirablo stngo preaenco nnd an altogether charming personality. Her success last night was Instantaneous and It Is to be regretted that tho extreme length of tho program did net allow her to respond to an Insistent demand for an encore which was tendered her by the audience. Mme. Hnthbun-Chcley was accompanied lust night by Thomas J. Kelly and to his sympathetic work much of tho credit for her success U due. it Is n matter cf regret that some men tion canuot bo given to each Individual par ticipant In the artists' section, for every number was moot excellent nnd worthy of extended commendation. Tho exigencies of Epncc, however, aro as Inexorable as the laws of tho Modes and Persians and It Is Im poFslble lo particularize. Tho third part of the program was made up of nn olio of vaudeville turns, somo of them very clever nnd none of them dull. TIiceo were put on by local talent and were well received.

"Wn further find strong evidence that said Charles II. King did the said shooting from motives of self-defense." This verdict will not .secure King his lib erty, however.
