Honiara Claim 11u > y Should Not Do Jtcduocd. Local coal dealers nro taking a lively inter est In the notation for n reduction of the rate nil hard coal between Chicago and Omaha. They nro unanimous In the opinion that Iho rate Is exorbitant , but they arc like- wlso pretty well agreed that any reduction nt Iho present tlmo would not necruo to the benefit of the dealers or tlio consumers in Onuih.i. Spc.ikingon this subject Mr. C. B. Havens jtiiil : "Tho fact is ho would bo n very wise man who could toll Just what the rate on hard coal from Chicago to Omaha Is Just now or mis been for the past few months. The Oiniihn dealers don't ' know anything about It. The coal for Oimihu is purchased free on board in Omnlm and the rate Is a matter that lies be tween the Uulcago shippers and thu railroad company. I ainconlldcntthatthornta has not been t.0but whatever It has been the Omaha purchaser would not prollt by it. The rates tire now getting firmer , as they always do nt the close of navigation , A reduction would do no good now , as nearly nil of the haul coal to bo used hero this winter was purchased from ono to three months ago at contract price and nny reduction of the rate would bo just that much in the pocket of the Chicago dealers. Then the rullroud companies don't care whether you ship cotil over their lines or not. There is n car ftunluo all over the coun try and the roads arc In n position to demand their own prices. " Mr. Jeff W. lied ford said : "There Is no question but that the ruto on hard coal is ex V orbitant. There is 110 other commodity that grades s > o high or brings such nu enormous ravcnua to the rullrond companies. .Out then I enu'tseoany remedy that would bcnellt us this season to any extent. Most of the coal is on hand or en route , and a reduction of the nito would do us no good but would only benefit tlio Chicago shippers. Some coal cniuo into Onmhu early in the season on a cut rate , but it was not open to many of us , I was In Chicago and \voro out n. pair of flue shoes chasing frvlght ngonU around mine to so- euro a rnto on coul but accomplished nothing. The rate should not bo more than fcj.50 n ton on hard coal and next season curly wo ought to gel It , The Alton has cut the ruto to Kan- /as City to * 1.50,1 think it is , but I doubt U the ICansas City consumers or dealers get any benefit from It. They certainly won't If the dealers purchased their coal In July at contract price as the Omuba dealers were compelled to do to protect themselves. " Mr. D. T. Mount of Mount & Griflln said his firm Imil held its shipments back until the hitter part of August hoping that the coal- rate might bo reduced at the meeting of the Trans-Missouri trafllo association in Chicago. "Instead of reducing the rate on coal , " said Mr , Mount , "tho companies raised it on slaughter house products and some other com modities , and wo saw there was no cliauco of any reduction on coal. Just now a reduc tion would do us no good. The rate Is too hltrh , about $3. ! > 0 would uo n reasonable figure arid if wo could gottuat rate wo could sell so much cheaper to tlio consumers. There Is no reason why hard coal should coat § a20 a ton from Chicago to Omaha while the soft conlratois but&J.GO. I can't see where the difference comes to tlio railroad company cx- copt of course that wo have to got most of our hard coal from Chicago while but little of our soft coal comes from that place. An error has been made In the publication of the statement that wo buy our coal nt gross weight , 2aiO pounds to the ton. We got L',000 pounds for a ton and no inaro. " Mr. Coutant , of Coutnnt & Squires , said ho would not favor a reduction In rates at present na it would causa a loss to the deal ers who hud already laid in the season's sup ply.There There If a scarcity of soft coal on the mar ket and the dealers nro buying from each other to supply customers. There Is less than n week's supply on hnnd and trouble is found In getting orders tilled owing to the scarcity of can. No advance in prices is contemplated however. STATE ; BANK mis.

Ten years ago there was a jrand sncngor- fcst In this city. It was hold In a building specially erected for the purpose In the northeastern corner of ! Capitol avenue and Fifteenth streets on a lot now covered by the western end of tlio exposition building. The fest was given under < the auspices of the Mis souri valley sacngorbunU. Two years later , another fcst was hold In Lincoln , since which tlrrio the bund has dona nothing to advance music in this section , be cause , in fact , It then , went out of existence. The celebration of ucrinun day , which is elsewhere referred to.'hhs ' been the means of reviving the custom af-lii-cnnlal saengorfests and it now looks as , if the project would bo ultimately made asucciss. Slnco the death of 'tho ' Missouri Valley bund the Nebraska bupd has been holding fests every two years In different cities , the societies comprising 'tho membership being those of Grand lalaud , Nebraska City , Sownrd , Plattamoutb Omaha , Grand Island and Columbus. Omaha was represented , however , only by thn Uodorkranz. At the last gathering in Grand Island , the fest for IbOl was voted to Soivard , this state. Af tern careful consideration of the matter , the Germans of the latter city concluded it was not possible for them to discharge the duties which would devolve upon them by holding the fest. A meeting of representatives from the va rious societies In the bund was held , Oumha bolug represented by the rjcdcrkrnnz. Trie fest was accordingly voted to this city. The burden of making the undertaking n success In a heavy ono. It requires that accommodations of nil kinds shall bo pro vided for the delegates who generally are several hundred In number. The Ucdcrkrnnz realized the gravity of the situation , espe cially as it could expect no assistance from the other local musical societies which were not members of the bund. At ono of the mci'tines of the various sing ing societies which took part In the German day celebration Monday night , Mr. George K. Btratmuu , president of the Concgrdiu , the oldest and most influential singing society ot the city , brought up the subject for dis cussion. Ho suggested that the societies In attendance form n massenchor for the pur pose of making preparations for the holding of n grand saeiigcrfest in Juno of next year. He showed the advantages which would bo derived from such nn entertainment sind how it would tend to advance the cause of music In tlio stato. Ho also showed that Omaha was much richer than when she had last held n fcst , and was provided with buildings of nil descriptions , which would obviate the necessity of erecting a hall to accommodate the chorus. The idea was immediately accepted nnd Mr. Stnitman was elected chairman of the massenchor. A committee was then appointed consisting of ono member from each of the societies rep resented as follows : Concordta , Mr. August Schaoffcr ; Turners' quartette , A. Stein ; Lledorkranz , W. Koesch- man ; Mnonncrclior , Dr. "U'lrth ; Swiss soci ety , M. Oraedig ; Plattdoutclicr gesang- vcrcln , G. Schneider. This committee will meet nt the call of President Stratmnn. The announcement of a prospective snen- gerfest in Omaha will bo received with pleas ure by tlio Germans of this city who , like Omaha Itself , are In every way qualified to make a grand success.
