(Fo.n.i Slaft Correspondent.)'
MXCOLV. Aug. 18-(8pec1al.)-The Stat
Railway commission has received Intima
tions that the railroads will resist to he,
last the new rates on corn and other train
which the commission expects to establish
In Nebraska. The commission has been at
work on the new schedule of rates for
several weeks, especially Commissioner
Clark and Rate Clerk Powell and they ar
of the opinion the ratees will be fair and
reasonable ta all parties concerned. In
making this proposed reduction the corn
mission feels that It Is not doing- an In
justice to' the railroads. Its opinion II
bused on tha enormous earnings of the
various companies. Tha burden of proof Is
upon the. railroads to prove that the rates
are not compensatory If they fight the pro
posed chaos, and In this hearing the com
mission exfceel- to learn Juat what It cost
the common carriers to do business In this
Stat.
Home Dor for Jiebraakan.
Secretary poller Is thinking something of
advertising? "at home" ray for Nebras
kans during. the state fair, and Inviting
every man.', woman and child who has ever
lived in the. state, and who for reasons
known only, to themselves have left It, to
some hack and spend the rtsv looking over
the proofs' of prosperity and In sackcloth
ancj ashes bewailing the thing or circum
stance that ciuieed them to leave here
even for a fchort time. A number of states
have had welcome home day and statistics
show that, with the exception of the c'ty
of Fnstorr, all the home days have been
ineeeeef oi. The government census report
howe that yehia-Vsns have scattered to all
?be quarters of the esrth. and a day to
gether would result In a most pleassnt time.
Mr. Meller figures the Chautauqua dates
- may keep some of the distinguished cltliens
from being present on at home day. tut
that cannot be helped.
Soldiers Go Home.
The National Guard encampment la over
and the soldiers hsve gone to their homes.
Testerday Adjutant General Sehwars and
Major Phelps spent most of the morning
paying off tlie troops, beginning at 5
o'clock. Just whnt the cost of the encamp
ment win be to the stste has not yet been
accurately figured, hut it Is estimated at
about fitW n day, which would make the
i total cost 12,6"0 or $13,000 for the week
during which the soldiers were here.
Colonel Rrder Speak.
John J. Ilydcr, deputy state labor cun-mtssloner,-
Is going to Omaha Tuesday and,
after transacting business connected with
his office there, he will fto to Valley and
address A in Ms meeting of cltlsens on drain
age laws. The people there are Anxious to
organize a drainage district, and as Colonel
Ryder Is authority on such matters, he has
' been naked to give of his experience and
knowledge on that subjeot. . .'

Apparent prejudice on the part of an um

work by the visitors these were the most
potent element In the victor of Lincoln
over Omahax at Vinton Street -pafk yes
terday before ' a" crowd of 5,000 that de
served better. ' -
Halt, who pitched for Omaha, run the
gauntlet of misdeeds; he war hit at crit
ical times, he passed several batsmen,' hit
other and made one balk, while at the
bat he acted as if he didn't caVe whether
school kept or not. Omaha didn't get a
man to first base until the, seventh"-Inning

in general.
But don't let anyone fall to gfve Mr.
Cleotte his Just meed of praise.- He pitched
magnificent ball and his team back of film
gave him gilt-edged support.' Lincoln, In
fact, played a clean, pretty t game. The
visitors themselves appeared to, be an
noyed at the evident determination, of the
umplr not to allow the home team the
ghost of a show.
Conahan called strikes on the Omaha
team at every turn and h refused to call
them for the Salt Creekers "until Hall was
about ready to quit, but he Stuck by his
Job and pitched some excellont ball, con

In two big sections of twenty-ftve cars
each yesterday, and by the middle of
the afternoon the tents were pitched
and the men and beasts quartered on
the grounds at Twenty-first and raul
streets.
Mayor Jim's friends had long urg-d
him to give them an exhibition of his
prowess as a cowboy. He had told (hem
many time. They wanted to be
"shown." The "time was here to mske
good, and the mayor takes pride In mak
ing good at every crisis. Therefore they
appeared on the ground. The mayor
was introduced to Pawnee Bill, who, by
th way, la Major Gordon W. Llllle In
private life. They looked over Ihe fine
array of horses In tho tent and then
the mayor's friends suggested tho
broncho.
He Did Not Fllnrb.
Be It said to his credit that he did not
flinch. A pair of chap" was brougnt
and the mayor put them on. His face
was pale, but hi 1 Up were firm. He
tried to look unconcerned. '
"Mexican Joe," chief of the cowboys,
waa Introduced to the mayor and they
exchanged a few words. What the mayor
said could not b heard, but Mexican
Joe shook his head vigorously.
"M no got mild pony," he said, and
the crowd cheered, j.

Several men were getting th broncho
ready. Tha mayor spoke not a word.
Everybody wa gay and happy but he.
The world looked psacefnl with th Sab

singing. Far off a church bell was ring

th animal saddled and bridled. The
mayor looked at ,l.t , The crowd looked
at the mayor and held Its breath.

"I don't believe I care to rid today,"
said Mayor Jim, and then, brightening'
up, he remarked, "but I can throw, th

Up from a thousand 'threats of loyal
Omahans ram one mighty groan and a
murmur ran around. Mayor Jim, our

Many left the field In sorrow. Others
stayed and saw the mayor mount an old
