JOINT COMMITTEE WILL ASK CONCESSIONS JCxrmillvi Committee Hntlomm Action of Svvretnry for Failure to I2n-ti-rtnln an llllnoln Crutrnl Visitor to Oiunlin. South Omnba people, aro bent on doing away with tbo tolephono tolls between tbat city and Omabo. A comtnlttco from the South Omaha Commercial club, comprising John Klynn, J. II. Watklns, Scott King, T. J. Nolan and Harry Christie, nnpeared before tho Omaha Commorclal club at the meeting of tbo executlvo commlttco of tho latter yes terday and submitted an Invitation for the latter club to co-operato In a request to tbo telephone company to abolish tho toll. Com plaint was mado chictly because, of the do lays Incident to scouring connections, and tho movement will doubtless Include a re quest that the South Omaha telephone ex change bo abolished and all connections imado direct through tho Omaha exchange. Attention wub called to tho fact that tho I'lattsmoutli Telephone company had been given permliwlon to establish toll stations In South Omaha, but that a franchise had been practically refused It for tho cstablluhment of an oxchango there. It was also Intimated hat unlom concessions can bo received from tho Nebraska Tolephono company It may bo advisable to grant tho new company a fran chlnn to cstabllHh competition. Attention was, on the other hand, called to tho fact that at prriient tho rati charged for Instru ments In South Omaha are $2.50 for resi dences and $4.50 for business houses, while In Omaha they aro considerably higher, so that If tho South Omaha exchange l abol ished the raton In South Omaha wilt probably be raised to tho samo flgurrn ns aro charged 1n Omaha. Tho chair appointed a committee compris ing K. 12. Andrews, V. 13. Sanborn, W. S. "Wright, H. L. Krelder and It. C. Peters to co-operate with tho South Omaha commit tee In tho telephone icntter, and tho samo committee was authorized to confer with a commlttco of the South Omaha club on tho promotion of manufacturing enterprises for tho absorption of products of tho South Omaha packing houses. Secretary Utt called attention to tho fact that 106 merchants visited St. Joo InBt week oh guests of tho Jobbers tharo, who paid their railroad faro. Of theso about 2C per cent wero dry goods merchants and 20 per cent went there to buy millinery, showing the necessity of tho establishment of dry goodH ond millinery jobbing houses In Omaha. In lines which are well represented In Omaha tho visitation to St. Joe was light. Iionomntlvc l&iiKlurrm Conilnur. Sccrotary Utt reported that a delegation (rem tho national organization of locomotive engineers will visit Omaha April 14 and that ho had promised to thorn tho extension of tho usual courtesies. Ho also called atteu Hon to a criticism In one of the local papers lovoled at him becauso tho president of the New Orleans Cotton exchange had visited Iho city and had not received any attention. Ho said tbat that gentleman hod como to the rlty Saturday and It wa not until Monday at 11 a. ni. that any notice had been given lo tho Commercial club, and oven thon It had comn to Uio Hoard of Trade, asking that t delegation bo sent down to tho union depot lo meet tho visitor. Tho sccrotary had ar ranged to go to Florence In connection with beet sugar buslntes and took no action. Ho thought that when tho IlllnolH Central brought people of prominence to Omah it might at leant notify tho club In time, lo permit tho extension of courtesies, and while talking on that subject he called attention to the action of that road on a former oc casion, when It brought a party of Iowa, editors hero. Tho club did everything tho limited tlmo would allow to entortaln tho visitors. Later tho Illinois Ccntra'l gave a banquet to tho visitors at one of tho hotels and not a representative of tho Commercial club waR Invited to attend It. He believed tho Illinois Central should got In touch. Upon this statement tho action of tho see retary In tho matter was formally indorsed by tho committee. Illshop A. Ii. Williams was elected an honorary member of the club. TOUCH OF PATHOS IN COURT )Minoimtiiln', While He Iiik ArrnlKiiril, llecclvv Notice of 111m I'IiIIiI'm Dcntli mill In Unmoved.

Outside tho Inclosura stood a Uttlo girl with a plaid shawl over her head, her cloth ing drenched with rain. Sho had Just sent a messngo to the Judge. "I nm Ida Murphy." sho said, "and 1 want my papa to come homo becauso baby Is dead." The prlsonor nt tho bar focused bis gazo upon somothlng Invisible to tho others. Tho iiiviwum iniiig seemeu to Ihsctnato mm. Ills oyes bulged. Ho turned, ns If trying to wtlhdraw them, but it was no use. Ho was being charmed by somo creature of his disordered mind. "Do you know your child ts dead?" asked tho Judge. This broke tho spell. The prisoner said he did, but appeared Indifferent. Then an onicer took him by tho arm nnd led him downstairs, while through tho court room window a crowd watched tho father nnd his Uttlo daughter struggling homeward through tho rain. Murphy lives at Twolfth and William streets.

The first rain of the spring of 1000 began yesterday morning ond continued at Inter nals throughout the greater part of tho day. To bo exact ubout It, according to official weather statistics, tho precipitation struck Omaha at 7:10 o'clock. At noon tho gov ernment rain gauge Indicated a downpour of flfty-flvo one-hundredths, or a fraction over half an Inch. This Is what weather otllclnls call a good rain. Out In tho state tho rain started last night and moved eastward, being general throughout tho central and western portion. Tho western lino of tho rain belt Is a short dlstanco east of North Platte. It crossed over into Iowa, extending to tho Mississippi river. Iteports received nt tho govern ment bureau In this city how tbat tho precipitation was heaviest In the northeast ern part of Nebraska and northwest Iowa. Tho rain v,n accompanied by thunder and lightning. Karly In the morning thcro was an electrical display that savored of sultry days In August. A thunder storm of more or loss vlolcnco Is reported from Valentine. It occurred Monday night. "This Is Just what wo need," said Forecast Oirtclal Welsh, "and It will do great good throughout this section of country. I havo talked with men who aro Interested In agri culture and they tell mo the soil is Juttt right to rccolvo a good rain. It Is generally accepted as tho forerunner of a splendid crop year, provided, of course, tho future docs not bring sorao unforeseen handicap. I. havo made It a point to look Into agricul tural conditions ns much as opportunity has offered and I know tho Nebraska farmer Is elated today." Mr. Welsh predlctn there will be a gradual fall of temperature. Ho does not mean n ' rob! wnvn Is enmlnir. hilt jilmnli n pontine ' of the atmosphere. Tho lco has gono out of j tho rtvero except In tho extreme head waters, so thero nro plenty of avenue through which tho surplus water may escape.

The streets havo been washed clean and when tho sun dries up the dampness tho wholo town will assumo a brighter aspect. Unless nil signs fall, tho cold weather has gone to stay until next winter, and with ouch a rain as has descended tho earth will soon tako on an emerald tinge. Tho rain played havoc with somo of tho street car lines. Early In tho morning lightning struck tho lono car In operation i on tho Dundee Place line and tho arraa- turo was burned out. The other two cars of tho road were In tho shops for repairs so residents of that suburb wero forced to : walk through the, mud to tho Fornam street line. On tho Harney street line nn enthusiastic motorman nttemptod to mnko his car Jump a pile of earth and rubbish which had been washed onto tho track on Twentieth street between Farnam and Douglas strcots. Tho car made tho leap, but landed beside tho track nnd tho lino was tied up for nearly nn hour while It was being replaced. As It was placed on the track the armaturo burned out, nnd tho car had to be hauled Into tho barn. Ilrmeinhrnnce.
