When we contider tlmt the charges are BO heavy nil along the line , iho question still arises why freight should cost five cents per 100 pounds for crossing the river. Tbntls what wo p y now unless wo contract for through rotes. The local rate is $10 par carload , excepting on coal , lumber , and cattle ; I understand they sro$3 per car load. The country waa almost np lu arms abont ( hla until the Flattsmouth brldgo waa built , everything going oist or coming to Nebraska having to cross this brldgo.

A stated in yesterday morn ings Br.E the proposition before this meeting , wna passenger rates botwcon Msasouri river points and the Pacific coast A ro-adjnstmont of thoio rates is very greatly desired , and several plans by which such re-adjustment should bo eifrctod were submitted , bub none of them appeared to strike the general idea. To got the trans-continental business , or nny portion of it , roads In this pool nro compelled to make BO many "divlea" that they nil loat money , or nt least that is what railroad men eny. For Instance , if the Union Pacific secure ) a passongr from Now York to Ban Franciso its eharo of that paisanger'a fare , Mipposlng him t o travel on a first class ticket , amodnts to about thirty dollars. Thia then is divided be tween all the roads in the pee ] , EO that in the end the Unlou Pac'tic ' Rots very little. But the nlUtitlon ii just anch that no advances In rates can easily bs made. The Northern Pacific , Union Pacific , Atchison , Topeka , & Sant Fe , etc. , depend entirely on the Atlantic coast harbara , Boston , New York and Philadelphia , for what they gst of the trans-continental tindo therefore to i changa and rnako them higher than they nre now , tbo through rates , from Now York , or the other places named , to San Francises , on roada went of the Missouri river would create a gro it stir. Bnt it probably could bo done only for the Southern Pacific road. That line gets its passengers dl root from the cojan steamers at Now Or leans and carries them ov its own track all the tray to Pacific points , therefore iv makes a ntco thing and is independent enough to oppoao all efforts made by the other roads , for a readjustment of the rates. It is believed by not a few that this situation will soon ctuao tha associa tion to bro k up entirely. The meeting yesterday resulted in the adoption of n resolution referring the whole matter to the general managers of the various roads , and rccjmmpnding thit If they cannot agree , then it bo referred to the presidents.

GENERAL INCIDENTS. Reported by The BEE'S Bureau. LINCOLN , Nob. , Juno 25. This evening - ing was the last and closing concert of the etungcrfost. Upon entering the great building among the first objosts which would moot the cyo were largo pictures of Abraham Lincoln and Jam33 A. Garfield - field , placed In a prominent position on the stago. The concert waa opened by the Rrnnd orohctra composed of a largo number of instru- msnti. Then followed the pioneer san- gcrbnnd aocloty , boltig composai of not loss than ono hundred and fifty voice ? , which were perfect as to time , and was a feast which will not aoon again bo heard in this olty , The song waa composed of lor the Franco-Prussian war , and waa dedicated to a Garnnn gofldoee. The spirit of the mutta Indicated the enthusiasm and energy of the Ger man soldiers , The contralto songi by Mmc. Baker proved her to bo no ordinary artist in the musical rolo. The np plauso given to her was BO long It brought forth an encore which was happy and fun pro duolng. The St. Joseph maonnachor held well the enviable reputation they made tha two previous evenings for their beautiful singing and recilvod a hearty encore to which they roipondod feel ingly. The polka song , a soprano eolo by Miss Ethel E. Howe , waa to nil who heard hersufficient ovidonca that eho hai a voice full of music and was a complete master of every note , Lincoln may well feel proud of EO grand a singer. A hearty encore was given and aoknowl- edgcd by the young lady with a song , an idyl by the Omaha musical union , en titled , "An Eagllsh Blacksmlthahop in a Forest. " The tltlo conveys no idea of itj beauty and perfect harmony in every chord , it be ing ono of the fincit pieces of the entire programme. The Germans saoms to oroduco music clear and sweet from a tin horn or an anvil. The encore brought fourth a rosponao which was highly ap preciated. Mr. D. Holman played on the anvil which is cjrtilnly a now device among musical instruments. The Lincoln festival and chorus which ia composed of abant 0110 hundred voices both ladles and gentlemen produced a feeling as though that many Apallos of music had struck the lyre and every ona did lurk till it was ticue for the encore which was free and prolific. The encore was "Crowned with the Tompoat , " repeated from last evening by request of the management. The Kansas Clly atlon and orchestra opened part coond on the programme with a grand overture. They did not purpose being out done by their Omaha brothers so they used two anvils , but for some reason they did not produce qnlto as stir ring music as the Omaha boys did. However it was aplendld. The Omaha orchestra played three fiao over.tires. Having received two oncorce , cer tainly Prof. Siner has grounds for taking great pride in his well trained orchestra. The Columbus maonnerchor , although from cot so largo olty as come of the societies , demon strated by their tnusis not only well trained voices , but perfect harmony , re ceiving a ho rty applause Trhlch resulted in the gentlemen coming again to the fiont of the stngo and giving tnoaudience another song. Madam Weber , in a soprano , with her clear , trilling and birdllko voice , was listened to by the great audience with the stillness of a midnight , and a hearty encore again brought the favorite- tbo etjgo with a repetition in ono of her choice piece ? . Thus closes the musical concerts of the siongerfeet week. The Missouri tout and awning com pany , of St. Louis , has mido a proppsl- tlon to Major N. G. Franklin , of the secretary of state's oflico looking to the renting of tcnta for the use of the reunion at Beatrice In September. They propose renting 1,000 or rnoro tents at a merely nominal sum , thua csjurlng plenty of tent room for thoao who duetto to partici pate In the pleasures of the reunion. To pirtlos throughout the state desiring to own their own tents Major Franklin can furnish them at prices as low as last year. The governor having failed to make requisition upon tha authorities at Wash ington for tents , as contemplated in the act pasted by tbo recent legislature , it becomes necessary to rent a largo number of them io supply the demand which will bo made for shelter. The weather has cleared away and the poopla who are visiting the city are enjoy - joy log it very much and tbo crowd seems to be Increasing and probably will until after Saturday. To-morrow wijl be the grandest day of the entire festival , being parade day , in which all bands and socie ties will take part In the programme.

This was the title of a well written essay delivered by Miss Addle W. Hurl- iurr , and In Its body and caption aho displayed unquestionable evidences of deep study , careful thought and happy .ma inationc. Miss Hurlbnrt has a very intelligent face. She wore a whlto dress , as all girl graduates do , with a lovely bouquet of llllics at her iraist. In aubn stance aho said : We hardly roaliza how full of striking trait * wo are as a people , aud how wo are looked to from every quarter for sorns freak of originality. It Is well that the Americans do not know their worth in this direction , for solf-conficionsneaa de tracts from eaic. One thing nnlvcssslly remarked about an American ij the putting hr.ate ho ii io , but withal the clear head ho keep ] In aplto of his hurry. For ho carries on his bclek transactions with such ahrowdnors and far-ooolng carefalnets as wou'd maka the braluo ot a poor llttla Englishman eoem like chaoc , and ciuse him to Icng for his dinner , houj , But boaldea the general charaoterlatica , more of trhlch might bo given , there are to bo noticed oomo ttronply marked typoj. Foreigners in looking at America seldom coo farther than the Yankees , therefore. Wo might siy that the Yankee Is ; the standard ropresantative tjpa. What do wo discover In him ? He displscs to bo mean or underhanded , but nothing de lights his heart more than a shy laugh at bis own contrivances. Tnen lie hai a trait whlch'ia also notice able la other American types. Snppos ) wo word In a field.studded with bushes. Hero is a bush which obstructs the way , and men , in their tendency to follow in the footsteps of other , men , have turned the path to the right. But the Yankee with out hesitation bonds over and wrenching up the intruder by the roots , proudly walks over the ground which It occupied. Instead of passing around an obstacle , he removes it from his way. It la his delight - light to , do what no man has attempted. The woman deserves some attention , too. The Now England housekeeper la over sot up as the model domestic economist. Her greatest falling is clean- HnoiB , and in her eyes it is a capital crime Sol a man to enter the region of snow-white , sanded kitchen-floors in his boot * .

One of the gems of the evening WAI nn oration on thin aubjecj , by Mr. Carl M. Johnson , a young Swcdo , who has been in this country only four years. The young man is endowed with unusual intelligence , and his cffutt was full of bright , crisp sayings Mr. Johnson , be came satisfied thatAmoricaa unbounded resources would ilow fur him when ho was yet very young. The uamo of America had n charm for hi ? youthful eara and a great fascination for his youthful mind. During hla early daysln the old country ho obtained a vague idea of America and made up his mind that it waa the most glortouu country on earth for him to cast hii fate and and fortunes in. Had it not been for the knowledge Mr. Johnson sub- sequcntly obtained of America ho would yet have boon living In agony under the rule of monarchs and kings. But the lastvolcanio explosion of his longing heart and the plcasnroablo throbs of his aching breast finally reached the climax of joy , when on a bright and lovely summer day lie willingly not sail for the friendly shores of that land of the free , America , Victoria E. Overill , a good looking mulatto girl , recited with splendid effect " . " She has "Saudalphon. n history , Tfhloh it traced np and related , would beef of romantic interest. Then there was mora music by ono of Miss Rogers' special classes , after which Mr. Moirls A Hall delivered an unusu ally well written essay on the subject of "I'BTIUCK .SAUSFIELD AND THE DVNA- MITEHS. " The substance of Mr. Hall's remarks is as follows : Many events have occurred within the past few yearj which have brought viy- dly before ua the condition of affairs in [ reland , Famines , monarchlal oppres sions and O'Donovan Rossas have excited succoseively the compassion , auger and disgust of all trno lovers of liberty to such an extent as to awaken a generous sympathy for the dovm-trodden people of this "gem of the ocean , " and to create a lively interest In every event which might affect their welfare.

This last compound was dyna mite. mite.Our Our world renowned friend , O'Donovan [ Ussn , has oartainly had his fill of the sired notoriety. Those who favor a jollcy like the ono now pursued must be blind to all rational moans of accomplish ing a great work. Probably no argument but the pbyal- cal , addressed to genuine dynamiters , would have ouy powerful effect ; but to an Intelligent audience who can certainly have no spmpithy for ouch cowardly acts , words my not ba misplaced. This ques tion is certainly ono of moment to the American people. "What stand shall ba akou at this time ?

Thompson. She Imper sonated the characters moat creditably and was loudly applauded. A trio composed of Blisses Addio Hurl- burt , Mabol Balcomb and Annie Young , with chorus by the school , rendered a selection from Mondlessohn , alter which Howard Konreiy spoke on the subject of "Tbo Colony on the Tiber and the Colony at Ply mouth. " The document , if not so long , would bo worth going into print. It tolls of the pilgrim tathara who landed at Plymouth Rook ; of iho trials and tribulations they en dured moro severe than any subsequent colony. Then thogrowth of this country under religious and edccational Influences was vividly compared with the rite and fall of Rome. DICKENS' LIFE ricrnnEs. TIi's ' waa the closing essay delivered by Mlsa Carrie W. Hurlburt and w a a gem. She commenced by laying : "As with daring strokes the'maater ar tist brings In to prominence the main fea tures of his picture and , then carefully with moro delicate , lingering touch fills out his canva" , so the great master of fic tion directedhis , powers In dellninatlng his wonderful and Impressive life scenes. Like the great artist , too , Dickens had within hla eoul a purpose , and as a result the scones which he doptcts not only fills his renders with wonder and incredulity , but rouses them to o ooneclonancts of things to which they had been blind , awaken a lively interest in their fel low men and touches their deep est sympathies Throughout all of Dickens' ' works there is a pleatang vein of humor , but in his earlier produc tions It is more breed and constant , while later on it is a little ovorthadowed by the deeper emotloni of the man who wee growing old. When firat Ylofflng iho comlo scenca wo aao nothing but fun and entertainment , but on locking closer wo find beneath thu lively painting some > thing that leaves a deeper mark. We constantly find pictures illustrating his tympithy with tbe wrongs of children , and all are bat destroyed reflections o ; hla own neglectei childhood. The bal anco of the essay wni made np of choice selections from Dickens works and was delivered in very line ttylo by the fair graduate. Mr. J , J , Points , president of the Bard of Klocation , presented the grad uates their diplomas , and gave thorn a few words of good aivico to take whh thorn in tho'r ' now life , The teachera of the High School all deserve great prnlso for the zoslons work they have performed during the school year now closed. In last night's oxer- cis-s Iho results cf their cfl'irts were strikingly qislbte. Especially la this applicable to Mltn Morly , the teacher cf olooatlor. The Omaha schools now hnve reason to bo proud of her , LOONY WITH LOVE. ACrazs Man From Chicazi id the Homily Jail , On Account of Annlo J > owllnK , Ho COIUCB tuOnmliK.

About 10 o'clock yeslorday limning a tall , sprarthy complcxionod , innn , with lioavy moustache , nncl n rim of died hair around thobiao ot hU scull , stalked into the Oozzons houao ofllc3 nnd on tha regis ter wrote : "WillixmO.Nclson , Ohlongo , [ 11 , I Bin a mouibsr of Oriental Lodga No. 33 , A. F. anil A. M. of Chicago. " Eo would probably hare coutlnned this story at much greater length had the clerk , Mr. J. W , Ncodham , not have Invltod tilm to tavo the Ink and communicate Lho balance vocally. The man iookod wild , acted In an agitated manner and told the clerk that ho canio aero to dlo. Ho also gave the clerk lu- itntctlons to carefully pick his body in Ice and send it back to friends nt Chi cago. Scolna tint his now arrival was eraMr. . Noedhom pacified him In every way possible aid finally got him into a room nnd laid down. It was sub sequently learned that Nelson has lost Ills reason on account ot a girl by the name of Annlo Bowling , who lives at : ho Wubash house in Chicago. It h supposed aho ia a domestic , lie begged Ncodham to send and have her como out tiera by telegraph , but as only messages can travel by telegraph Noodham let that ua ; . Nelson saidthut his clothing waa mod with money , and Instructed the clerk to send It nil to Annie , oxcbpt what would bo required to properly box hla cold remains and ship them. After bo ng put in the room , ono of the colored lorloia had to sit by his bed and pretend o write down everything that he said. During the afternoon Nelson graw worse and the clerk sent for Dr. Swectnani , who soon arrived end made an examination of unfortunate man , In ono of his'rav- ng spells ho talked about bolng outriding with Joslo Howard , nnd of trying to kies icr , but she wouldn't lot him , and that > roko htm all np. About 4 o'clock Dep- nty Sheriff Crowell called nt the hotel with n carriage , and on pretense of going out for a drive , pcrauadcd Nelson to gat n with him. They were driven to the county jtll , where ho was lodged for safe keeping until coraoihiog can bo done or him. .Tho man is evidently desperately In eve with Annie Bowling , but his lova is not returned by her and it has driven ilmcrazj. Ho is a carrlngo maker by rado and was on his way from Chicago to Bute City. At times ho saoma rational enough and talko atrjighf- . When taken o the jail ho made a desperate struggle against being locked np.
