The railroads say they cannot tnako a coal tariff to conform with the recent order of tho state board of transportation reducing the rate from forty to fifty per cent. They ask for a hearing to show cause why, and tho board must in fairness give them a chance. Lauou Day was not generally observed as a holiday in Lincoln. The labor unions hud a parade and listened to addresses by Hon. Frank Ransom of Nebraska City and Mr. W, J. Bryan. Senator Hansom stood sponsor In the senate hut winter to the bill creating La bor Day. Councilman Louie Meyeii is a most sen sible man. He is credited with the Idea of the stato officers and city ofllclals visiting Omaha's celebration lu a body. Ho very seu slbly Hays thorn Is room for both cities and the people ought to bo neighborly instead of scrapping. Some of the bankers are "kicking" at the fee charged by the examiners. In some coses one of them oxamlue two banks a day and the fee charged is 120. That is pretty good iay, but tho bankers ought not to have a monopoly of extortion. The examiners are not lu tho business for their health. One of Omaha's three state senators, John T. Paulson, died Tuesday. Ho was born in Bchleswlg.Holsteln lu 1833 and camo to Oma ha In 1S57. He was a blacksmith and a tin tier and for twenty years was in the milk bus iness. In 1SS1 he turned his attention to real estate, and did well out of the boom. A FROUINUNT politician has returned from the O.

ELSEwnEiuc In this Issue of the Couiukh will be found an exceptionally well written account of a Lincoln girl's trip to Seattle. It Is by Miss Lillian G. Potvin, who, with her mother and sister, went to join Mr. Potvin in the northwest. The Courier readers may be favored with further accounts of her wan dtrlngs in a future Issue.

The performances nt the Kdon Musee nre given hourly nnd the oH-iim had to be cut down accordingly. The design was to tnko tlio prettiest musla nnd give Jut enough of the speaking lines to Indicate the plot. A great tunny people whlled a ivay nil odd hour or two listening to the music, nnd that I what tho Museo Is for. Tho let known eomlo operas wero never before iilavcd to n Lincoln nudlouco In any form for icMthnn llvo time the price chanted by tho Muso.1, The rejiortolro Included Krmlnlo, Mnscotte, Olivette and Ulrollo-Oltolln. The lust will hold the hoard today and tomorrow, the innungotueut linvlug arranged to keep omn house on Sunday, In the curio hall is nn Albino child, mild to bu the only ono over known to have blue oye, nnd a largo collec tion of war picture has luterotcd n great many. In tho ti)wtnlrs theatre n man ex pose Homo of tlio tricks ot spiritualistic ino dliiiin, nnd a woman does an astonishing per formance with file. During fair week tho Musco will lw 0eii from iiiuo lu the morning till ton nt night. Eaton fc Hognn's Georgia Sorenndor will oc cupy tho big stage. In tho llltlo theater will be seen the American Novelty company headed by the Putnam twin sisters; Leo, the Juggler; Mile. Olllo Leonard, the sorlocomlo vocalist, nml Mon. Htrlckbolii with his troupe nt.Hongstor. In tho curio hall tho Auitrnllau fire worshipers will give their weird song nnd dances. Thoostrnngo eoplo nre now on their way to their homi in tho Pacific, nnd thl will probably bo the only chniico of Lincoln people to see their strange custom. ran KAIIl WEEK. Mnnngcr Mclleynolds hns engaged two po;. ular falr-weok attractions for next week: Milton Nobles and Charlotte Thompson, who will divide the week equally. Milton nnd Dolllo Noble will present "1jvo nnd Law," "Tho Phoenix" and "From Sire to Son." Milton Is not only nn actor, but n clever writer who produces hi own plays. In "Tho Phoenix" ho is tho seedy lioheinlnn with his blood-curdling romanco for tho Weekly Chnmbermudi's Own, In which occurs that now common expression "And the villain still pursued her." The play has been seen by almost everyone, but still holds Its plnce In popular favor, "Lovo and Law" is n newer piece that gives Nobles nn oportuuIty to piny an Italian part that always catches tho audience. "From Biro to Son" is Nobles' now est play. Tho first act occurs In n mining town In California nnd Is romantically con ducted. We see nothing of tho conventional types of tho familiar western ploy, and it may be objected that tho author has given too much refinement nnd "gift of speech" to sev eral of his characters: but that Is n small mat ter compared with tho dnrlngTorlginullty of having all tho charncters,includlng the sher iff, mcot in Venice four mouth later In regu lation evening toilet. This is done for a din nn'lc purpose however, and tho purpose Is well met. THOMPSON. Charlotte Thompson will appear at Kunko's on Thursday evening in "Jnno Eyro," on Fi I day evening 'n "East Lynne" nnd on Satur ila hvoii'iu in "Honrts Astray." Tho Now York Ilo-uld says of this star, M w Chnr lnttu Thorn "Mi Is of charming presence nnd gifted by ni'tiro with rare talent. 8ho Is mo, u idivihtedly in tho foremost ranks of tli" nn U'le wnild. Thero are few, if nny, ho hn vt ml tho advantages which Miss Thompson possesses. Her manner Is natural, nnd the iili'enco ot stage conventionality is iet the lenr charm ot her Impersonations. Iter action I freo nnd graceful, and she poe-. hvmM.i djpth of sentiment and passionate neiirv wnieii gives a vivm reality to every motlo.t, At tlnios sin has nlo vivaa ity nml archness, and a'l tho boiiyaut nnd electric spirit of glewlug genius, . NOTES. The audlenco nt "Monbars" was nn attrac tive assemblage in the matter of dress ns well os in other respects, nnd ono of tho most pleasing detail was n number of ladles with out tho stage hiding pllo of tullllnory so dis tracting to tho fellow behind one ot them. Among them wero Mrs. K. K. Hayden, Miss Maggie Mullen, Miss May Burr and Miss KemiKT of Burlington. If It wore not for tho objection of some suprr-Bcnltlro souls tho CouillEH would start a roll of honor with tho names of these ladies nt the head, nnd it may do so anyway. It a lady distinguish her self by good senso and thereby win tho np plauso of man, why isn't that as worthy of mention as n fetching gown made by a hired modlstol There nre lints for feminine wear that aro qulto unobjectionable even at the theater, but at "Monbars" wero several whoso owners would have blushed for shame it they could have hoard tho comments upon them. Manager McReynolds distinguished himself at the opening performance ot the season by arranging a fountain in tho foyer and adding floral decorations to the house. It Is not ev eryone who can accomplish so novel a feat as that of making geranium blossoms grow on palms and fems, but the ingenious Bob is a versatile fellow whose genius no pont up con. vontlonallsm can bound. Harry B. Brown, treasurer ot Funke's op- ora house lost season, has relinquished tho place to take a course lu the buMness college, but will retain charge of the JVo.wHiiim. Frank Handy, late of 'Cincinnati, is now handling the box office. Tho ladies who have been rnvlug over Man. tell and his elegant costume for tho past two or three days may lw Interested in the infor mation that tho "Miss Sheldon" who played the part ot Madame Blanche is known to the aw as Mrs, Mantoll. Tho roheanals of "Tho Messiah," which will be given about Christinas week, have been resumed at the First Congregational church. Muiitcal Trulnlnt. Prof. F. M, Olbeault returned last Satur day from his summer sojourn in Paris. The professor had five weeks among ro lathes and friend at Bordeaux and in viewing tho won ders of Paris, and like all true Frenchmen he was sorry to tear himself from La Belle France, but he knew a large class of young people were noxiously awaiting his return to this beautiful city of the far western plains, The professor cornea back refreshed and reln vlgorated lu mind and body, and is better equipped than ever to induct beginners in his profession, His studio is at the Lindell hotel, and he has clashes In both vocal and instru mental music. Quite a number ot his pupils Insisted on resuming study at once, and his classes began last Monday. The professor will be pleased to consult with auyone deslr Ing to pursue the study of music. Five O'Clock Dinners. Commencing Monday evening, Sept. Hth, Lindsey will serve a flv o'clock dlnnor run ning two hours. All the delicacies and tho very best the market affords. If the dinner pays he will continue; it not, tho same will not le served after the two weeks' trial, fills new deal will suit the large number who have expressed a desire for five o'clock dinners.

When the dny nnd hour flxel for our tie-wi-turo from Lincoln arrived wo found it nlmost lmHlblo to leave even the element warred ngnlust us. Nature exerted nil her forces to prevent us from forsaking our otii lovely city. The rain iletcendod, the light ning flashed nml- I ho thnttders rolled; even that most beniitlful stream unjustly called Salt CrrrAr (but wlmt's In n iinmof) oiired forth Its briny wnters over Its bunks in n no ble effort to wash out the railroads, nnd to o jiiih1 u to stay at home. Could you llnm It for shedding Its tears on such nn occasion: However, nothing daunted by small mlslmin, wo determined to tiersovero In our nttempt, resigning ourselves to long pause waiting for delayed trains. From Lincoln to Denver nothing of n very exciting nnturo occurred. Tho scenery nlong tho route through Nebras ka consist, ns you know, entirely of rolling pralrlep IntorsjHirsed with Melds of com, onts and other grain, showing a wonderful degree of cultivation. It Is not really poetical, per liaps, but I eminently practical, which Is far better in thl world of ours. Wo sient n day very pleasantly with friends diking about Denvor slghtvieelng, etc. At fi p. m. we left by tho Denver & Wo Urn tide for Salt Lako City, We entered n narrow-gunged sleeiier more inconvenient than the one wo hnd left, but that mattered little, for this was to lw the most enjoyable part of our Jotirnoy the "Trip to the Ilockles." Upon Inquiry I learned that we would pas through tho Iloynl Gorge, a most nttrnctlvo bit of scenery, nt U:45 n. in. It seemed hunt, but, when the Idea ontered my head to be up ami on the rear platform of the car at that hour, I seized Ukii It nnd decided to put It Into execution. I had hnd somo llttlo experience beforo with jwrtors nogloctlng to nrouso mo nt the desired hour, so do'ermlnod to trust to myself. With my watch grnsjied firmly lu my hand I calmly lay nown and in-, vlted sleep. Such wns my great anxiety that I nwoko nearly overy half hour during the night. I romember onco nwakonlng nt a tow minute before 3 n. m., nnd I though1: that another short sloop might yet bo mine beforo tho eventful tlmo would arrive. Alasl for human confidence In ono's self I Tho oplrlt Indeed wns willing, but you know tho lest. By a hurried glance nt my timepiece in my next nwnkenlng moment, I saw tho hands pointing to 4:00. I realized that "my dream was onded " After lamenting for n short tlmo I nrose nnd with somo friends wont out on the platform. "Scenoryr do you nsk Ye, mountain sconery unsurpassed in Its grandeur. In front, nt sldes.and all about us these lofty monuments ot ages reared their summits high above the clouds. Soon wo were nscendlng n steep grade on our way to Marshall Pass. Beneath us lny a lovely llttlo valley so fortllo and Green, so tranquil In Its repose. "All tho nlr a solemn stlllnes" hold. Thoro wns nothing to destroy tho clenrncs of the atmosphere, and tho summits of peaks miles distant mlcht easily bo seen, pome bar ren nnd rockv. somo crowned with forests of pines nnd firs and others capped with snow, Far lu the east a light flush could be detected in tho soft lmzo surrounding the summit of the mountains. It soon changed into n deeper nnd a rosier hue, nnd tho white, fleecy spocks floating about In tho clear blue of the sky, nR sumod various tints and shades as a few rays of light tecied forth over the mountains, her aiding the approach ot tho sun , In a moment that clorlous orb Itself burst unon u with all its dazzling splendor. How everything wns niddenly changed? New llfo and spirit seem ed Infused into all nature, nnd what was calm ly beautiful beforo was now radiantly nnd brilliantly so. Tho trees appeared a brighter green, the ripples of tho llttlo streamlets spiirklcd n they ran, chasing each other down tlie hillsides; tho fliwers, which had been closed In sleep by tho gentlo' touch of night, now oped to the glorious light of day; by the glittering nnd tho sparkling nt our feet and on nil sides could be dotectod tho wealth of mineral In the mountains. Everything about us united In a muto but Joyous welcome to tho Ood of Dny. Tho passago through the Black Canon was perhaps tho most fascinating part of tho trip. Walls ot rock rose on either sldo of u. 'hun dreds of feet nbove our heads, while the river ran beneath us, In its shallowest parts clear aim i)i uo nnu spanning ns it rippiea over tlio tho. stones; In other paits forming miniature falls and cascade, the daintiness ot the foam and spray ns tho water dashed ngolnst the rocks forming a picture in strango contrast with tha ono which mot our oyes when wo raised our head' and gazed upwards at the rocks, magnificent, yet awful In their power and strength. Some huge masses, balanced on end overhanging tho abyss below, seemed ever ready to plungo beneath and bury all within their path In uttor terrible darkness. All that day we speeded along, enjoying just such grand scenery, of which a brilliant sun set formed not the least attractive portion. About 7 o'clock Friday morning we arrived at Salt Lake City, and feeling the fatlguo of the Journey, we decided to stop and recuper ate. Ot course wo spent all tho time sight seeing. We saw the new Templo and tho Tabernacle, tested the acoustic properties of tho latter, and "lntorviowed"a Mormon elder. In tho afternoon we went out to Oarfleld Bench and enjoyed a most delightful Imth In Salt Lako. Some of our party seemed a little afraid of the water so they went out only a few steps, then decided that they had better return to tho jmvIIIIoii, or they might miss the car which would start for the city in about two hours time. The rest ot us went bravely "out to sea" and laughed at the others on shore. After a pleasant evening listoning to Robert Mnntoll lu "Monbars," we retired to rest. Our traveling the next day through Utah and Idaho was not very pleasant naught but a wido stretch of sandy desert for miles and miles, covered with sage-brush. After enter ing Oregon our trip wns moro enjoyable, as wo traveled nlong tho bank of tho Columbia river, n most beautiful stream and in some jwirts very pHurewmo, ospeeiully at tho Cas cades nnd Brldnbveil Falls. Perhaps the most plcturesquo feature of the scenery was the colonies of Indians camping out along the bonks. At some place whero we paused long enough to permit a sandbar to Ixj removed from the track, tho noble red man and his family would como up nnd gazo at us, evident ly classing us amongst the seven wonders of tho world. We were delayed by the sand-bars and ontered Portland four hours late. Tho timber country seen along tho route to Taco ina Is really beautiful. ",n both sides of the track were magnificent forest-crowned hills. Some ot tho trees had already assumed the drew of Autumn. Mountain duisles poeped forth just above the grasses, while scarlet berries, luxuriant creepers, and tall, stately ferns combined to complete a perfect fore ground to this lovely picture. As usual, we were not on time and it was dark when we reached the wharf at Tacoiua, darker still when tho steamer arrived ut Seattle, and we were only too happy to be at our destination at last, The end of our wanderings for the present Is it not n appropriate place for the closing of this letter, winch also might be properly termed "wanderings." Of this "City of Tents" moro nnon. Sincerely Yours, L. O. P. Next week we will OF NEW DRESS GOODS ! among them some imported novelties which will not be shown later in the season.
