Miss Hlgbee's story , -'In God's Country , " Is not read no much as It should tie , -wherefore the shortcomings of a rather crude dramatization of it arc less intrusively apparent. The adapter fcas done ample jus tice to U > e book In plates.tut the stageve > s'on Is of 'uneven merit and the action some times drags unduly , and again , as in the last act , quite too much Is caused to "happen all at once. The book does "not suggest Clay Clement's "Xew Dominion" specialty ; the , play docs , decidedly. In the nature of the ! plot rathe- than in the manner of treatment. I There Is a similar association of human and I vegetable flowers , the same mortgage on the ancestral real estate , the same unwelcome and unworthy suitor and a like foreign noble man traveling incognito. Clement's play , aov/evcr. is free from the touch of melodrama which is a blemish upon this , The comi-any is generally excellent. Spe cial praise should &e bestowed -upon Mr Emmett Corripan for a strong anl admirably j restrained performance in the role of Andre. ! His scene in the first act -with Lydia. over | ' his first meal on the colonel's premises , is ' especially delicate and fine. Miss Hope , Miss I I Tinnle. Mlsa Brennan and Messrs.

They were driven to their hotel , whore they will be for a week , Mr , Kimball IB one of the heaviest stockholders In the. Union StocV Yards company of South Omaha , and his vlult at this time If believed to be of pclal significance. To a Bea reporter tils morning , Mr. Kimball - ball said : "I have come out to attend the meeting of the stockholders of tie Union Stock Yards company , which will be held on Monday next. I he not yet iad an oppor tunity to look the situation over , and , there fore , cannot eay anything regarding the fu ture policy of the company. Until the meeting of tie stockiolders is held I shall say nothing for publication. " Asked the position of the eastern Inter ests he represented In reference to the Ar mour interests , Mr. Kimball said : "It is true tiat I am here representing a number of eastern stockholders. That is vrhy 1 want to look the ground over thoroughly. There has been a good deal published about this deal and that deal with the Armour company. Some of it is correct ; some of it Is not. Concerning reductions In rates , all I wave to say Is that tie eastern stockholders are not likely to do anything tiat will de crease their dividends. " At jestcrday's session of the Board of Equalisation several complaints were filed by property owners against the Missouri avenue sewer tar. It is not tie cost of the sewer that is complained of , but the manner of making the assessment. The sewer Is 2,925 feet long and ccst the district $2.050 , being tbe cheapest sewer ever laid In the city. In laying out this sewer district all property on bath sides of Missouri avenue , from Thir teenth to Twentieth streets and extending aorta and south from the street a half block , was Included. The complaints are made by persons living end owning prrperty at the northern or southern limits of the district These are -charged or assessed at the same rate as is the prcperty abutting on Missouri avenue. In the latter case the property owner Is not put to any expense to speak of In making a connection with the sewer , while those farther away will be compelled to pay quite a sum for such connections. City Engineer Seal has arranged tbe as sessment , as has always been the custom here , that is charging each property owner so much per square foot. Tbe tax per or dinary lot in this way Is J10.12. While there | is no complaint on the amount assessed , those | living off Missouri avenue think that they should not be called upon to pay as much for the sewer as property holders oa Mis | souri avenue , for the reason that it will cost them ell the way from J25 to J75 to make j sewer connections. The statutes provide that the assessment ! | is to tie made In accordance with the benefits - ' fits derived , and with the law on their side. the property owners living a little off Mis souri avenue assert that they will insist upon having their assessment reduced. STOCK JIEX COMPL..VIX OF DEIiAT. Shippers SnjTTnon Pnciflc Trains Are Held Back. Uive stock shippers from along the line cf the Union Pacific ere complaining about the service given them by that railroad. E. H. Sorensen , a , frequent shipper to this mar ket and -wio lives at Dannebrog , tils slate , asserts tiat In freigiting Jive stock to this market tbe trains are sidetracked for ell trains going west ; In other words , the west bound trains have the rlgit of way. Mr. Sorensen says that be would not object to stock trains be-ing sidetracked for passenger trains , but does not think it right for stock trains to be laid out for all westbound freight trams. In explaining the matter tils ship per asserts that last week he left Grand Island with two cars of stock at midnight and < ild not arrive iere until 11 o'clock In the forenoon , mailing eleven hours' time on the road and a distance of 14C miles traveled. This is at the rate of a little over thirteen miles an hour. It is claimed by this shipper that on the Great Northern road all stock trains going to market have absolute right of way , and all trains except the fast mail , must e've ' way to trains loaded with live stock. By burrying stock trains through it Is claimed that the shipper is benefited greatly , cs it saves shrinkage. It has been suggests * by Mr. Sorensen that live stock shippers along tbe line of tbe Union Pacific and the commission men doing business here make a combined effort to have this matter rectified.
