LINCOLN , Sept. 16. ( Special. ) The Mia
sourl Pacific Hallway company , as responden
In thu cnso filed with the .Stato Hoard o
Transportation by the Argo Manufacturlni
company of Nebraska City , today filed It ;
answer. The complainant Is engaged In tin
manufacture of starch , nnd alleged a mate
llal Increase In the cost * f putting the !
product on the market owing to dlscrlmltm
tlon on the part of the road In hauling cori
from points within the utato to the factor ;
nt Nebraska City. The road , answering to
day , admits that It is a common carrier , nnt
that Its tracks run through Nebraska City
but denies that Its rates on corn or an ;
other farm product arc extortionate , unjiis
or discriminating against cither complalnan
or Nebraska City , Thn road avers , on tin
contrary , Hint the rules on short hauls arc
reasonable. It denies specifically that tin
grain rates nro lower to St. Louis nnd Kan
BBS City than to Nebraska City. Kcspondeni
says that there IB at present In effect a ver >
low scale of rates upon grain from Kansas
nnd Nebraska nnd other territory to the
Mississippi river nnd other eastern points
brought about by the unwarranted and un
justlflnhlo reductions mndo by competing
lines ; and It Is therefore confronted will :
the alternative ot hauling at these low rates
or retiring from the competition nnd allow
ing grain to go over other roads , not onlj
for Its own protection , but largely for the
protection of producers located nt stations
upon Us line of railroad , not competitive
vlth other roads. The respondent regards
the present scale to St. Louis as unromuncr-
ntlvo , but avcrst that were It to retire fron.
competition the other roads would continue
to do business on the present scale and con
ditions would remain unchanged for the
* producer. The road believes that this low
basis of present rates Is of a temporary na
tures only , nnil Is of the opinion that a restor
ation to normal rates or thereabouts will
soon come. H denies all complicity In rais
ing the cost of the production of starch and
merely declares that It does not even know
V the market price of the complainant
-v staple.

AMUSEMENTS.
The engagement of the Umpire compau ;
nt the Crelghton closed lost night- with i
performance , for the first time In Omaha
of Plnero's lati-st play , "The Uencflt of th <
Doubt. " The piece will probably take rani
among the strongest work of an author win
has been called , with reason , the greates
Kngllsh dramatist since Sheridan. It ills
cusses a problem , like most of Plncro's late :
writings , and the problem Is not a savorj
pno , In which respect nlso "The Uoneflt n
the Doubt" Is not singular among Its fel
lows. H Is absorbingly Interesting , taklnt
the attention of the audience at the firs
and keeping It unrelaxcd to the end. Tin
first two acts are wholly admirable In coiv
strtictlon , full of powerful and original situ-
atlnns and bright and pithy Plnero dialogue
the third Is lens satisfactory. It Is salJ thai
the author arose from a sick bed to flnlsli
the play , and completed It In haste In res
ponse to an urgent demand. Possibly If he
had been nt his best ho would not have
ended the piece In a manner so conventional.
Without going Into a discussion of the ques
tion whether or not adultery nnd divorce
are fit topics for treatment upon the staKe ,
It may be said that "The Ucnoflt of the
Doubt" Is likely to bo a success , for three
reasons : The subject , unpleasant as It Is ;
the Intrinsic merit ot the play as n work of
art , and the thoroughly artistic manner In
which It Is presented by the Umpire com
pany.
Kvery member of the company , fitted with
a part which calls for his or her best en
deavors , fulfills the task assigned In a way
altogether satisfying. Miss Allen appears In
a role quite unlike any she has heretofore
attempted , and carries It with her usual dis
crimination , displaying nnew her versatility.
Mlas Conquest scored a positive triumph In
the thankless part ot the Jealous wife. Mr.
Favcraham Is at his best In roles like that
of Alllngham. If he erred nt all It was In
un apparent bolsterousness of manner , which
gave the Impression of material heat nnd
fuming ; at least ho said'"Whew ! " no less
than twelve tlmrs in the csurse of the ac
tion. More extended notice Of play and play
ers is deferred. ' '
At the matinee ' ' " "
, Carton's'"Liberty Hull"
was repeated.

The success achieved by the popular play
'In Old Kentucky" proves that there Is
ust as good material at hand In our own
muitry for the dramatist as there Is abroad ,
ind It- also proves that American play-
; oers will support liberally any domestic
ilay that possesses originality enough to
nerlt their support. Any American play
vhich alms to portray the odd characters ,
uistoiiis and incidents peculiar to different
mrts of the country Is worthy of consldern-
lon and support , and it is gratifying to
ioto that "In Old Kentucky" has met with
inch substantial success. On Sunday , Mon-
lay and Tuesday night "In Old Kentucky"
vlll hold forth at Hoyd's.

but the thousand and one beautiful things
which are BO dear to the feminine heart and
which It Is always Interesting to know are
the very latest style as well as being beauti
ful In themselves , ttven the string band
which discoursed sweet music during the
evening received only a passing notice In
the excitement over the many things which
were so much more attractive to thu visitors.
They were nil there for show , for not an ar-
tlclo could be bought during thu entire evenIng -
Ing under any conditions.
It would bo dlfllcult to say Just what portion
tion ot the Immense stock attracted the most
attention or elicited the most favorable
comment. Among the first things to
be sighted on entering the store were the
silks , both Imported and of domestic manu
facture. In the colored silks the prevailing
styles run to bright colors and largo de
signs. Among the numerous patterns shown
were three which nro copies of court cos
tumes , and one beautiful piece Is a copy of
a gown worn by a celebrated Irish beauty.
The women dwelt longingly around the
counters where these goods were shown and
admired the beautiful patterns and the per
fect blending of bright colors.
In dress goods some novelties arc shown
which are very attractive. One piece es
pecially , a rough boucle , woven on a silk
body , was greatly admired. There were
many patterns of plaid valour and also many
showing the Scotch effect made from Illumi
nated yarn. In black goods there was OIK-
striking creation , being a plcco of canlcho ,
with a ralsoJ slltd figure on a foundation of
twlno or canvas effect. Another was a pat
tern of froise , made by 1'rlestlcy , the cele
brated Bradford manufacturer. A decidedly
novel thing was a piece of black canava.
which looks like a piece of fishnet , and Is
designed to be worn over a changeable silk
These are- only a fewof the many beautiful
things embraced In the stock , which Is com
plete In every Hue and embraces everything
from the highest priced creations of the
loom to the plainest ot dress goods.
There are- also ribbons and gloves in every
shade and prevailing style to match. Dress
trimmings will bo worn this season in jets
and spangles on the lighter fabrics , and on
the heavier ones heavy braid and fur.
In the rear of the dress goods department
Is a complete line of hosiery and under
wear.
The prldo of the establishment Is the
linen department , and it was easy to bo
seen that It was ono of the greatest attrac
tions to the visitors. The line of table
linen shown was larger than ever put on
the shelves of the establishment and em
braces everything from a cheap table cover
ccatliiB only 75 cents to one costing $200
for the set. There Is nothing more attract
ive than beautiful linen , and the many beau
tiful and delicate patterns were the center
of attraction from the time the doors wore
opened until they were closed for the night.
They were In seemingly endless variety ,
and not all the beautiful ones by any means
were in price beyond the reach of ordinary
mortals. One of thu handsomest things In
this department was a bedspread made by
IJarlow & Jones of England. On the snowy
linen were traced so perfectly that they
looked like nature itself sprigs of roses In
bud and bloom. There were also some very
fine samples of embroidered linen.
Another thing dear to the female heart
was the laces , real laces. There were some
beautiful specimens of genuine hand made
ioods In thread and silk and In black , cream
ind white. Many a feminine eye looked
longingly upon them and heaved a sigh
when they were- put back Into the show-
caso.
caso.All of the good things are not on the
first floor by any means. The most at
tractive feature of the second floor Is the
millinery of Misses Kahl & Johnston. The
beautiful creations in feminine headgear
must bo seen to bo appreciated. Those
Icllcate touches which constitute the mil
liner's art defy description and their
beauty fades when ono undertakes to
iransfer it into a word picture. The pre
vailing styles of small hats are in turbans ,
trimmed In velvet , paradise and ostrich
Dlumes. The large hats are in poke effects ,
literally covered with ostrich plumes.
There Is a bewildering display of wraps ,
Doth cloth and furs. They run altogether to
japes and short Jackets. The prevailing
styles In cloth Jackets are rough effects and
u the ciipcs plushes lead. There Is also
i large variety of fur goods , mostly in
: apc > 3. In suits box coats are the Icad-
ng styles.
Over on the other side of the store
Is another attractive corner. It la the
ipholstcry and drapery department. In
mrtalns there are some beautiful specimens
> f the lacetnakers art , one especially hand-
lomo pleco bolng a Phrygian design , with
alsed figures In silk , the figures being In
wo colors. There was also a largo linn
> f silk and velvet brocades for upholster-
nK purposes.
There was also another department which
ho gentlemen visitors hustled through , but
vhich his better half was Inclined to glvo
nero attention to. Even thu head of the
louse could not help bestowing a insslnn
dance at the dellcato and beautiful pieces
if fcmlnlno muslin underwear.
The universal expressed opinion of the
housands who passed through the store
vas that it presented a truly beautiful ap-
learance and was one of the finest , If not
ho finest , displays of the kind over seen
n the city.
Patronize American goods , especially when
ou know they are the best , like Cook's Itn-
orlal I3xtra Dry Champagne.

tli sheep and the engine , boiling vats , etc
The preparation to bo used Is placed In thesi
largo vats , which are filled with water om
heated by steam to a temperature of fron
100 to 110 degrees. This solution Is ther
