THE OMA.ITA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3. 189H-S1XTEEN PAGES , CHRONICLE OF THE DIAMOND "Which Tolloth How the Pee from the South Side was Vanquished- KINGSHANAHAN DEFIETH LYSICTHESTOUT And the Yunng Men of the Chosen AVnz the Kvrrlnntlnc snifTInc OtU nf the Hunt * of the Over Confi dent ND IT CAME TO pass on the second day of the ninth month , Anne Dom. lnil803AntioM.undl 5S07. 5S07.And And Lyslc said unto all tlio pcoplo : Now shall thou see that I won't do a thing to David , moaning Shauahan , king of the Non. parcils , And there was a great cry throughout all Omaha , such as there wcro none llko unto It , nor shall bo llko unto It any inoro. And all the people came from without the city's walls , aye , oven unto many from Coun cil Bluffs , with belled shirts and other costly raiment , and assembled within the amphi theatres that boundoth Sportsman's park on the south , and with breath bated , nnd eyes eager , did await the dark brown voice of Umpire Ilaskell to sot the battle In array. And Lyslo further spake : But against an of the \oung Men's Christian associa tion shall not a dog move his tongue , that all may know that the Lord doth put n difference between the boys of the long hair and these who follow David , the Shanahon. Then llultkl Wrought MlKlitlly. Thou Bukkl Stonoy , son of Jogli Stoney , of the trlbo of Dan , makcth ready his bat of willow , and shakoth it llko a lion doth his mane at Niibul Mlllor , the son of Ham , .who bccamo frighted , and Bukkt reached first by walking on his two feot. Zolophehad Dolan fumblcth the careening sphcro and Bukki coutmuoth on to second ; furthermore to third , by Caleb Camp's sacrillcIalolTcrinir , thenca homo on a hav-oatlng erratum by Adomzcdic Gatowood , the Jubuslto. And a loud shoutinir arose , In nil the land wcro reigned the children of Israel. Much elated thereat , Lysio lifted his cedar of Lebanon into the air und , smiting thrice nt the erratic winds , went out with an high hand. And ii came to pass that Anhlthophcl McKolvoyunto himself did also likewise , and loud murmurings of rejoicing arose from the cohorts from across the Jordan , And when the Shauahans spat tlio juice of the Yucatan upon their uslicn staffs and begun to smote the sphere , the children of Lysio lifted up their eyes , nnd they were sore afraid und cried out in tones that picrcoth. Lyslo Mpeukctli with Oooil Glioor. But Lysic said unto his men : Bukkl Stonoy , Anbithophel McIColvey , Caleb Camp , Ablshal Kustin , Jephthah Lowry and all of ye that ho , fear yo not , stand still , hit hard unu run ilcot and sco tlio salvation tin the sleeve of Xobulon Conner , which ho will show to you today , for thcShanuhans whom yo have seen today , yo shall sco them again , Labor Day , when thou shall chuck them into their little tombs , and yo shall sco them again no more forever. Then Zolophehad Dolan lifted his rod nnd swatted Zobulon Conner , knocking ono of his curvatures through the pillar of cloud , on.which mighty swat reached ho first. There wus tear in 'Zebulon's thoracic do- 1 partmcnt , nnd ho hurloth the glebe with much force against Ado'nlzocteo Gatowood's ribs , and the Philistines parched on bags 1 and 2. t < > At Which All -iIiirTolleth Urnatly. In this epoch and at this , time. King Shan- nhau , from his throne on the bench , called Docg Jcllcn to take his stick and go forth and lambaste one of Xobulon Conner's pret zels until its tooth dl'.i rattlo. And Docg did what the King commanded , only the per verse sphere wont straight us the dove doth fly into Ablshui Hustin's shovels , und Abis- 1ml castoth ic Duck away from him into Shammah Angel , on the first cushion , und low and behold I both Adoiib.cdec und Docg were doubled up llko twin jackkuives. Even this did Doeg do before the whole tabernacle , und the jaws of the congregation did emit in concert an allfjrcd loud noisol But a dark cloud , like unto a wet blanket , * settled over the jubilant hosts , a moment thereafter when Shammah Angel let Gerry mander Muhonoy's crude gut away from him , on which did Xulopholmd Dolan ( Ice swiftly homo , und the score was tied iu a double bow knot. SIiiou niado unto himsclf jinothor goodly swat , but It counted naught , for Ilolmni Brudford could only hoist a small futigo to Ahltliophcl McKelvey. Su Ills Niimo Was 1'riilsuil. Thus did Ahithophcl save Israel that day out of the hands of the Second ward Philis tines , and when the people saw thai the Shunahans were all out they feared Ahitho- phel and believed in him , and one oourdod patriarch spake : "Oh , who Is llko unto Ahithophel Me- Kolvoy , among the gods , with the burden of old ago upon htm , glorious is ho with the stick , fearful with the Jaw , doing wonders , ilo stretchout out his trea and base hits fill the air llko unto thu stars In the milky way , and ho opcnolh his mauleys and 'grubboth ' everything , even unto the infusoria , that llyothin the air1 ! It wus then the fruit of the Plymouth Hook and ttio Bratnuh , until thu fourth cycle , when the Shunuhuns didst compass another big fat tally. It was hero that the Philistines did most maltreat Lyslo's relatives , und there were loud lamentations In the grand stands. They were lilted with anger and placed the toes of their running gutters ugulnst tender portions of X.cljulon's anatomy , and brought him to tt level with earth and bound him ns with fetters of brass , nnd tlio women und the children and the old men of the Young Men's Christian association dominion did grind their teeth as the farmer grlnduth his meul. But out of it all Sltiou Lacey wus the ono Tarrior to cross the phittcr. Yes that wus good enough for the Shaim- buns , uud they gathered themselves to I- gether , and Duviu , the king , usu burnt offer Iy ing to the gods , lit a cigarette , und then they did ull rojiuYo with loud demonstration. l.JHllt Dulltltll the fill' . And Lyslo lifted his votco , with the aid of n dcmcii , und spake : The Slmnuhuns uro utxm Hit1 , oh children of Israel , nwako from thy Hlupur , whilu 1 , its I have outlines be fore on'thuko ( { rounds , no out und shako my self. And Lyslo wist not tlmt he hud , llko Sampson of old , lost his hair. And the Philistines didst continue to mock him und make sport , oven unto the sixth epoch of the ( jumo , when thu Young Men's Christian Associations prepared that wtilch they brought in und it was Ulrica as much us they hud gathered in any other inning. In the beginning Lysiaspako ; Lot ull mo children , even unto Xermluh Lowry , Mil tlulr ) shoes with feet , und yu Blmll know that Xobulon's good right arm bath brought ybu from out tlio land of Egypt , nnd at oven ye shall eat the Hash of the spring chicken , with the spring extracted , und yo shall bo regaled with the bread culled cake , und yo ahull know thutXobulou is prince of ull the twlrlors. Then straightway they enclosed the Snanahaus roundabout , and chased them , and trod them down with BUBO , und pushed them over agulnst the fence toward the sun- sotting. And It came to pass , when the clouds haa bcun pushtxl not shoved aside , there wcro a quartet of obese tallies looming up in the chronicles of Lyslo , to two for the Sluina- i bans. In the following thrco cycles there was a fumino ot base hits lu the laud , cvon unto LVblo's followers , ns also unto the uiyruildons of the king from across the track * . BhuMuh u , the Kluff , Wim Hore. And there were thunders uud lightnings in Davy's brain , and a thick cloud upon his heart , oud 114 iioham Bradford , Goliath Kennedy and Knbal Milter , the son ot Ham , toyed successively with tbo soughlm ? zephyrs , ho cried nloud : Oh , proat 7/flbulon- Ito , 1 prlthco , lot thlno enemy glean nnd gather ft few pearly swats with their ashen clubs' Then ns Sothiir Klynn and Nabnl Mlllor ngnln found the brow of ovcntldo with their mighty clubs , In largo disgust , ho uttoroth ! Surely It would take ono of the tribe of Shauahnn , the great , longer to make n safe swat than It took the Lord to muk i heaven and earth , the sea , and all that in thorn is , I vcflly believe , nnd 1 wet they would cut n botteriiguro In a chop house , or n brickyard , than on a Held of base ball ! And King Davy rcclinoth hln throbbing bead upon his hands , whllo Xebulon Connor rcspondeth : I will do unto thco , Great Shanahun. that which Is right in mine own eyes , and that Is to keep putting forth rid dles to you In the shape of my choicest Weeping Water slants ; if yo , any ono or all , can certainly declare It mo within the three swats I glvo ye , and I find It out , then will I glvo yon clean pair of socks and several jdccrs of silver. But If you cannot dcclaro it me , then shall you glvo mo the socks and * liver. Sethur Mnckcth Zebulon. And Davy , ns a hist chance , sent Sothur Flynn up to garner tho-vrlzo. find as Sethur stood forncnst the plato , ho cried : Now send off your rldiilo and I will rend it as i would n ripe custard plo. And Zohulon cut them loose. Once , twice , thrice , and Umpire Haskoll crluth In tones loud nnd far reaching : 'Yoti'rooutl" But Sethur told not his father or his mother what ho hud dono. Hero the adjudicator held the game while Lysic strode out on the green sward , and mot Xobuloii , and did obeisance , and kissed him , nnd they asked each other of their welfare , and Lyslo sayoth on parting : "Como.ohtilon , wiien the shadows deepen , to my mosque in the Now York Life und I will have a V awaiting thee.1' And so it came to pass that the Young Men's Christian Associations ' 'win" ucuin. And .when Jothro , Lysio's father-in-law , hc.ti-d of all ho hud done for tlio Young Men's Christian Associations , ho sent him a Watcrbury watch , und tliero was much merriment In Lyslo's heart thereat , for he felt that Mrs. Lyslo could never maintain n very accurate tab on his nocturnal outgo ings and Incomings by a Wntcrbury , und ho sent thanks unto his fathor-lu-law.

Governor Matthew * Kmpownra the M lilt la tu Stop Uuinlnlok OMln'lpy'M FlilitH. INDIANAPOLIS , Sept. 2.Vhcn time is called for the mill between Griffo and Lavigno at Koby next Monday night it has been ar ranged that the state of Indiana shall bo represented by. from 200 to 400 of the state militia , armed with rilles. Governor Matthews has ordered them out , and Adju tant General Irvlno Uobbins will have charge of the expedition. The governor's specific orders have been given. Thcso orders uro that ho Is to stop the light or pre vent it , oven if ii takes powder and ball to do it. The club would probably have been al lowed to run but for the fact that the last two events at Uoby , which have boon marked by disgraceful riots , were followed by the announcement that the club was pre paring to import a hundred or more Pinner- tons , a thing expressly forbidden by the laws of the stato. The recent riots huvo convinced the governor that the Uoby in famy has relithed such a stage us to Justify his use of troops to suppress it , and he in tends to wipe the Itoby crowd off the face of the earth. * Ulurdrr Dunn und Concealed. Ono of the principal reasons which have led Governor Matthews to declare war against the Uoby gang is the utter lawless ness which attended the lights. After the Smlth-Goddurd fight u man was murdered within 100 feet of the club uud to this day the public does not know who ho was. Whether Ills friends took him uwny or the murderers dumped the body into some of the swamps that abound in the neigh borhood will probably never bo learned. Ho was killed atid tlmt-was the end of it. Nothing has been dona to apprehend the murderer and tt would boa practical impossi bility to find him no\y. It would bo easy , however , to drag n mur derer out of the Uoby scrapping pen , for of any of the villainous gatherings which have over polluted the soil of Indiana the riff-raff , which has gathered at the Uoby ringside have been the worst. The scum ot northern Indiana has hung around the outsldo and tlio brutal blackguards of the Chicago lovco hover on the inside. The only difference had bean tlmt one gang of c.x iiml prospective juil birds hud "do price. " und the other had been unublo to borrow it or steal It before the light began. The decent citizens of this state have at last brought such u pressure to bo.ir on Gov ernor Matthews that ho has .decided to chaau them und their following of mis creants out of the Btuto. O'Mulluy has claimed ho will have his lights como off Iu splto of everything. If ho tries It. next Monday ho will see the biggest light of his lifetime , uud It will not bo for dollars cither.

REPLIED TO THE RAILWAYS Slate Board 'of Transportation Files Its Auswer to the Last Charges. SOME CHARGES AGAINST THE COMPANIES Ulntmft lmt tlio Former Petition * \Vcro In tlio Wrong Court I.noU of Jurisdiction Allnirnil Homo of thu Stulfimunts/ Atalato hornvostorday afternoon ttio State Board"of Transportation , assisted by Us attorneys , Jumped Into the ring mid tiled Its answer in tlio cases against the Union 1'u- clllc , tlio Missouri t'ucitlo and tlio Chicago , llock Islnnd & Pacific railroads , thrco of the corporations which some tlmo ago brought suit tojdoclaro the provisions of the Now- hcrry maximum freight bill , passed at the last session of the legislature , null and void. As a whole , the answers aru almost Men- tlcal with those filed by the Chicago & Northwestern , the Fremont , Kilt horn & Missouri Valley and the Chicago , Milwaukee it St. Paul Kailwny companies , claiming that they have intermingled thulr freight and changed their rates In order to evade the provisions and the Intent of the law. In the answer to the Union I'ncllle case , however , some new features are presented , the board alleging that In the year 1KIU the company wns'chartcrod by the government of the United States to construct a line of road from Omaha , on the Missouri river , tea a point on the Pacillo coast. On condition that the company would do this and have the road in operation within a certain leiirth of tlmo , the government , frco of cost , granted it land which aggregated lU.OOO.WX ) acres , besides the right-of-way along the en tire line of road , whore the same passed over and through the uubllo domain. This Is not nil that the government did for the company , for according to the allegations contained in tlio answer , subsidies aggregating $27 , ! ! it- , 813 were given , drawing interest at the rate of 5 per cent , payably annually. Subject ti > Mtntn L.iiwa , So far as the road Is concerned the hoard alleges that a largo share of ltd * tralllo is through the state of Nebraska , and that for that reason. If for no ther , tlio roud Is sub ject to the laws of the state , and consequently quently is governed by the terms of the Nowborry bill and not effected by the laws of any of the other states through which the road passes. Ils general ofllccs are in the city of Omaha , where the president and general managers and other olllcers reside , thus making' this city its general head quarters and. the point from which all orders issue. Touching upon the question of capital stock , the answer in the case sets forth the fact that the capital stock ami the bonded debt exceed .by a largo amount what it would cost to rcproduco and equip the road. The .general claim Is made that largo blocks of the can- ital stock was watered and that other large blocks were issued as bonuses to partUis who had performed labor for the road and its management. In the aggregate , the board alleges that at the end of the year ISUi the funded debt of the road was SMO.OUl.GOr , or an amount much in excess of what it originally cost. J Hcgarding this matter , it is alleged that hi making its figures , the road has no right to base its calculations upon those flctictious amounts and that the profits arising from the operation of the road should not bo estimated on this valuation , but upon the actual cost. The excessive freight rates which the road has neon charging , the board avers , is not only in violation of the provisions of the Newberry bill , but also in direct violation of the interstate commerce laws of the United States. Another allegation is to the effect that on account of the United States having granted the subsidies heretofore mentioned , none of the rights of the state of Nebraska to legislate over the affairs of-tho ro.id have been abridged. If therois any question about the main lines of the Union Pacific road , the board alleges that there can bo none regard ing the branches within the state , as they all begin and end within the boundaries of Ne braska and consequently must bo governed by the provisions of the maximum bill , t the Missouri Piiclllc. With rofernnco to the Missouri Pacific , the board sets up the same claim and alleges 'that it is a state corporation , nnd that it lias received subsidies aggregating $210,000 from I the counties through which the lines pass , and , like the other roads , jt has , by the intermingling of local and Interstate freights , violated all of the provisions of both the interstate and the state laws. The Hock Island lines , which uro within the state , the board alleges , ura subject to thu terms ami provisions of tbo stuto liws. All of tlio petitions Hied in the ' several cases , the bourd alleges , uro void , for the reason that the court in which they arc Hied lacks jurisdiction , and for this reason tli'j prayer is that they should he stricken from | the tiles and the actions dismissed ut the cost of the petitioners.
