An effort to ftiprovo : the freight situation is being made by the freight representatives of the Omaha terminal lines. An Improve. mont is said to be : iotlccablo already on tito linen east of the river , anti the western sit- nation Is CXiCCtCd to be flxed up without much delay. At tim regular meeting of tha freIght agents in Oznnlu , on Monday : noning , the situation was discussed most ; hopefully , and It was found that nil of the freight men had very explicit Instructions from ths executIve omcers of their respect- tivo companies on the maintenance of rates. Under their now Instructions one of the flrtt timings the freight agents must put a atop to is thu issuance of transportatIon to secure shIpments of freight. The remarks of the higher oillcials emi this subject arc m3aicl by the local inca to have been very emphatic. The amount of transportation or free passes , issued through the freight departments of the Omaha lInes during the 1ast half year. is known to have beemi great. Ommo of the Omaha-Chicago lines that has held this cvii practice down to a minimum h's : been a. frequent complainant ( it , time methods practiced by competing lInes in thIs matter , and these complaints are said to bavo been the cause of the issuance of the present instructions that trauBporta- timi to shIppers must lo cut oft. Another feature in the restoratloa of freight rates to the tariff rates , erroneously BUImPOSCd to have been in effect during the Inst six months , is that all contract traflic" Is included in the agreement to hold up rates to the tariff chodutes , to give no rebates - bates or ls1le no transportatIon. By "con- tract" business is neunt that of a packIng house , smelter or other large industry , whose freight is contracted for by a certain ilno for a. stated period at rates very remotely - motely related to the tariff schedules sup- pcscd to ho In effect. Several of the lines hero enjoy such contracts. now their corn- letttors have Forced a clause into the new ' general agreement to the effect that only tariff rates shall ho quoted to firnis enjoy- lug contracts with the hues , as vell as to finns who imavo no such contracts. It alt the stipulations in the flew agreement are found to be effeative three moimts from today , freight men In 4'I the millennium to have come for sure. The ; freight akonts hero have had their new instructions - structions for about a week now. It Is agreed the new instructions are working well so far , and that all lines were nobly trying to carry them out. The situation east of the Missouri river is 50.1(1 to be much improved. Time Instructions on Colorado and Texas , in- eluding u part of the westbound and nearly all of the southbound trafflc , have not been In the hauds of the freight men so tong , but the situation in these directIons has been notably Improved. Only the California situation now remaIns to be fixed up , and both l'resident hurt nimd Freight Traffic Manager Munroo have given their assurance that the tranmcontinontal rates , so far as time Union Pacific is concerned , will bo pulled up to tariff witlmout further delay. It is thought tIme California situation will be sat- Isfnctorily adjusted this week. and after that the freight situation throughout the whole west should ho In such shape that time freight rates quoted to shippers will be somewhat akimi to these that appear on the printed tariff sheets. 1tzsimdune imtvemiIr Comimlimme.

The matter of the confirmatIon of the foreclosure sale of the Croighton theater to Trustee IL W. Nasii is now before Judge Powell , A decision will not be rendered until Saturday , if then , as the case had to be continued until that time to give the parties more time to file amdavlts. The particular objection to the sale comes from John A. MeShane , who claIms to have 25OOO worth of stock in the theater , and who charges collusIon between a few of the dIrectors of time theater to have the theater default in the payment of the 1OOOO annual rental , so that the mortgage could be foro'- closed. On the other hand , the attorneys for Mr. NaSh and the plaintiff insurance company contend that Mr. MeShane had na opportunity to protest against the sale at the time it was made , and , besIdes , that ho had transferred his stock anyway. The continuance is allowed for the put- pose of permitting McShane to file another atildavit on Wednesday and the other parties - ties to file theirs Friday.

ONLY TO RESTRAIN COUNCIL Object of time Atitloiflrongltt to Stop the Propnsel I'mivitig ( iii lII ton Street. John D , Ilowe , who is engIneering the cc- tion , declares that the injunction suit to restrain - strain limo city from repaving Vlnton street betneen the street railway tracks frdrn Twentieth to Twemmty.fourthm street In or- dcr to put the Street In a passable eoimdltlon has not been instIgated by ndjolmmlng property - erty owners , but is an attempt to prevent tIme couqcil fronm lomiger imidmmlging in lawless acts. Attorney howe says tIme action of the council in ordering the street paved Is Utterly - terly lawless. According to the petition in the suit just commnc'ncod , it is stated that the council did not , an it almould have done in obedience to time city charter , form an improvement distrIct by which time cost of the repaving was to have been paid. Tlmo paving was not asked for by petition of the , property owners , who own a majority of the front feet on the street. Finally there is .io money In time intersection fund to pay to- the paying at the street and alley Inter- sections. "The purpose of time suit ha simply to put an end to the council's reckless method of frittering away the people's money and to conmpel them to oley ) the provisions of the charter , " says Judge Howe. "Why , wo might as well have no city charter If the council Is allowed to keep on time way it has been going for months. If they can put in a piece of paving on Vinton street and assess time cost against time city instead of the property - erty owners benefited , why houid they not do it before my house and in any other part of the city ? -This Is in phalim violatIon of the charter. I understand the general fund Is sadly depleted , anti It the council goes on there will be nnotlmor deficiency anti another hatch of refundIng bonds will be sold. " CRUELTY TOWARD PRISONERS Ott- Jail OiflccrsCrowd 'l'weFm'e Cot- oresl W'iUeit Into One Saudi Cell tmfl(1 Keep Theni There. The police crowned their numerous cxlii- bltions of brutality Saturday night by crowding twelve colored women in the small women's ccii at the police station , and allowing - lowing them to remain there untIl yester- day. The sufferIngs of the woman rom the heat alone was terrible , and this , coupled with the fact that they wore given no sleeping - ing accommodations , added to tbelr suffer- logs. During time forty-eight hours' confinement they were dented the privilege of sending out for nmeais or for anythia that might ahleviato their condition. Meals brought to them by friends were not. allowed to be given to them. One of the women , Alta Oiney , a consumptive , nearly died in the cell from a hemorrhage of the lungs. She was taken out and laid on a cot in the matron's roomn , and while lying there had two more hemorrhages. She was taken tn her home in a patrol wagon. Her treatment developed an aggravated Case of hlrlght's disease in another woman and a doctor had to be sent for , Nearly all of the uomen could have given bond , but tlmeir lIberty on bonds was denied them by the pollee. Thmo roomn in wimieb the women were confined is about twelve feet square. The -women said that during the time of their confinement they were unabto to sheep or lie down , the cell being so crowded.
