TIIK OMAHA DAILY IIEE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOHEK 8, 1902. MILWAUKEE REDUCES RATE Pits Omaha Etrwira Wan on Earn Euii u Thair Competitor IN A POSITION TO HOLD THEIR TRADE Iaes far lrfral Jobber What Great Wfilrra Cat Did for Kaaaaa City aad St. Joseph to th Sooth. Immediately after reading In The Bee yes terday morning that tba Chicago Great Weatern had taken a crack at the west bound ratea on Iron and ateel. City Freight Agent Dural bt the Milwaukee, realising that Omaha would gain no beneOt from the Sllckney more because tha Btlckner Ilnea do not reach here, took tha matter up with tha Chicago office of hta line. Aa a result Tha Bea la able to announce that the Mil waukee baa mada tha necessary reduction In ratea to put Omaha on an equal footing with Denver, Kansaa City and fit. Joseph In tha matter of Iron and ateel from Chicago. This la a great relief to tha local hard ware dealera and Jobbers, for they bave beaa at a manifest disadvantage ever since tba cut to Denver waa made, and tha Chi cago Great Weatern cut would have added to their load, for it would have reduced tha rata to 8U Joseph and Kansaa City and left Omaha out la tba cold. By taking tha initiative In tha matter tha Milwaukee baa removed thla embargo from Omaha business. Roma weeka ago tha Chicago-Omaha Ilnea lowered tha rates on ateel and Iron articles from Chicago to Denver from 77 to 27 cents a hundred, giving tha Colorado city and common points tha aama rata aa existed between Chicago and Omaha. Tha reason for thla act, which waa a palpable injustice to Omaha, waa that Denver waa erecting a packing plant in which atructural Iron and ateel were needed. Borne Colorado road had mada a secret cut, which waa finally eiposed, and by the light of tha Interstate commerce laws reflected In public print. Other roads then made the tame reduction. Thla reduction applied to all ateel and Iron artlclea in the fifth clasa, which included nails, barbed wire, sheet Iron, besides other articles. Oat aba Merchaats Kiel la Vala. Aa waa published In Tba Bea a week or two ago, wholesale hardware merchants in Omaha found in thla sort of conduct on the part of tba railroads tba worst kind of dis crimination, as tt enabled Chicago mer chants and dealera to enter Omaha'a ter ritory and aell to tha latter'a customers. alnce the reduced ratea applied to Inter mediate aa well aa terminal points. There' fore tha Omaha men entered a most em' phatlo protest to tha aeveral railroads against such flagrant Injustices. They held that either the Denver rate should be re atored or the rate from Chicago to Omaha proportionately reduced, the latter being their preference. They pleaded for a rate from Chicago to thla city of 12 centa a hundred, In view of tha rate of 27 cents mada to Denver. A representative .of one of tho leading and largest firms In the city thus affected said: "We have about exhausted our moral suasion resources In trying to get these roads to grant ua a fair rate and withdraw their discrimination against us as in favor of Denver, but we have failed to obtain a single concession and have not a ray of hope upon which to base tha belief that our pleadings will be effective. But the roada will have to give In, that la all there la to that, Tbey are usurping privileges that do not belong to them, are subjecting uo to most severe discriminations and in juring our trade extensively. If they still persist in ignoring our demands wa will oarry tha case to tba Interstate Commerce commission, where I confidently believe wo will b able to get Justice. We will be able to preseut a very atrong esse against the roads. Their action la clearlr In open violation of the laws governing Interstate trafllo and their arbitrary conduct would not be tolerated by tba commerce, I be lieve. Ceaanaet with t'aloa Faelflo, "Wa know that these roada have not only made this discriminating rata In favor of Denver, but some, or at least one of tha Chlcsgo-Omsha lines Is working nnder a clandestine contrsrt with the Union la rifle whereby it transports these artlch-s from Chicago to Ihe Union Tsrlflc for lees money even than we asked. The rste of 8 2 cents is actually made by one of there roads, I cannot say which, but It Is one of three, to tba t'nlon t'arlnr, which enables that road to get Its stuff Into Denver for the 27-cent rate. If that Is not flagrant discrimination I don't know the raeenlns; of the term. And we. simply have revolted; we will n? r.e treated In any such manner. If these roads cannot be made to their own shameful wrongs then wa will appeal to the Interstate Commerce commission fot redress, and I hae no doubt wa will get If Amusements. At the Boyd.

CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS TO BEGIN ly attorney la laatrnrted to Take laltial atep la Uns Contemplated Impratrmeal-Matle City Goaalp, Miss Leila Wolstan Pase .... Ophelia Mr. Walker Whiteside baa by no mesne attained tba cenitb of his capability aa an actor, nor la It to be expected tbat one ao far on tbe sunny aide of llfes meridian should bave reached the acme of bis powers. Yet Mr. Whiteside has gone far to demon strate the accuracy of tbe prophecy made for him by The Bee nn the occasion of his first vllt to Omaha aome years ago. In order to understand his progress In hie art one should bave seen his 'Hamlet" of tbat time and bla 'Hamlet" of last night. Persistent effort, well supported by an abiding faith In a high Ideal, bas carried htm steadily to ward hla goal, but the advance be has made has In nowise dulled his ardor or lessened hla desire for further achievements. If bis past be an augury for hla future, Mr. Whiteside will yet be known - as one of America's foremost exponent of the classic drama. Indeed, where he la well known he Is so regarded today. His conception of the character of Hamlet varies- but slightly from that of other great actors, yet he de parts In many particulars from the con ventional and thla without outraging any of tba traditions tbat cluster so thickly around tha part. In many respects Hamlet la the most difficult of all the Shakespearean list. One very potent reason why this Is so la that "Hamlet" 1 probably read more than any other of Sbakespeara'a ptaya, and tha people who are attracted to tha theater by It are not only very familiar with tha Ilnea, but have tbetr own notlona of bow tbe parta ahould be presented. Thus at tbe very outset the actor la required to overcome a prejudice or reach a standard already set up of which he knowe nothing other than that tt exists. If be succeeds he baa won by overcoming tba Individual opinion of tba man be baa convinced. In another as pect thla familiar knowledge of the play on tbe part of the people haa It advantage, for It la aome aatiafactlon to the auditor to recognise the quotatlona with which he la so well acquainted aa they are preaented In Juxtaposition to the proper .text Mr. Whiteside baa undoubtedly., given much atentton to tha advice of Hamlet to tba First Player, for be baa ridded himself of most of the fault he therein 89 roundly condemns. Hla delivery of tha noble lines on in caiieu upon 10 speax. is xnosi pleasing. while mi carriage on the stage haa taken on tha easy grace of one accustomed to hla. surroundings. In the really climactic eltu atlona of tba play, that at tha end of tha second act, that In tha throne room when tha play haa trapped tha conscience of the king, and that In the chamber of the queen mother, he exhibited not only tba neces sary force to make the scene go, but tha repression necessary to keep If from going too far. His supporting company la acceptable, Mr. Chester gives a very good presentation of Polonlus, tbe pedantic, garrulous and aomewbat meddlesome old chamberlain, and Mlsa Wolstan doea reasonably well aa Ophelia. Others In the cast acquit them selvea with credit. "Hamlet" waa heard last night by a large and rather critical audi ence, which bestowed well merited applause liberally on tba atar. At tha matinee thla afternoon Mr. White- aide will present "Merchant of Venice" and this evening bla engagement ends with 'Richard III." World's Beat Pita Care.

The first actual move to be made in the matter of the opening of N street came up before tho city council Monday night, when the city attorney was Instructed to begin the property condemnation proceedings on certsln property abutting on tbe linn of the new s'reet. While appraisers will be appointed to de termine the proportionate amount of dam sgea accruing to abutting property owners, it Is said that a private agreement has al ready been entered Into between the dif ferent land owners to donate the land so Bought In condemnation proceedings, and that not one cent will the city be expected to pay as a result of auch atreet work. Tbe new line of street does not Include all tbat haa heretofore been demanded by the owners of property between Twentieth and Thirteenth atreets on N, but It opena tbe way for the balance of the work to be accomplished and tbe different Improvement clubs of tbe city are hopeful of the outcome of tbe venture. For the last ten yeare there baa been a determined demand for tha opening of N atreet. Each Improvement club, aa It waa organised, saw or pretended to see In tha opening of this street aome especlsl benefit which would come to the community for whose advancement tha club bad originally been formed. Tbe proposed opening 'of tbe atreet bas furnished food for gossip and proposed plans bave been copied and re copied by the newspapers of South Omaha and vicinity. But nothing ever came from these different agitations. It Is said that the city attorney will pro ceed aa soon as the ordinance now before the council la completed In passage and publication.

While tbe membership now la only alxty-flve, it la expected that every saloon keeper In the city will Join tbl association within the next few days. This will make a mem bership of about 100. Tba association will be known aa the South Omaha Saloon Keepers' Protective association. President Martin of tbe asaoclation aald to a re porter of Tbe Bee last night that the asao clation wa being formed for mutual pro tection. Furthermore, President Martin atated that politics waa barred from the association. This organization Is not con nected with the State Liquor Dealera' association. City Ioaee Second Case. The eecond case to be tried against tha saloon keepers of the city for violation of the liquor laws, In that tbe aaloona were kept open and liquors sold on Sunday, came up In tha police court yesterday afternoon. Aa waa the result in the first caaa tried, tha Jury returned a verdict for the de. fendanta without hesitation. Tba evidence produced yesterday waa. not as atrong as wa introduced In tbe, first of the cases. .- la Danarevan Condition.

The atreet car track are some six inches higher than the balance of the floor of the viaduct and tbe boarda throughout It entire length are uneven. The viaduct, even In tbe beat of repair, with tracks well sunken Into tha woodwork, is a dangerous structure, but when It la allowed to drift Into Ita preaent condition, people familiar with that part of tbe city and the history of the thoroughfares thereabout claim tbat It la aura to end disastrously to the city In time.
