aalaa:. Nets, chiffons and silk moussellnes are
all popular materials for the elaborate tea
gown, and some of the nets stand the wear
and tear fairly well, showing the mussing
less readily than the other sheer stuffs. A
robe of soft silk la, of course, the founda
tion of the sheer gown, though a chiffon or
mouseline robe is often used under a loose
net tunic or coat, and almoat always the
Klik is veiled in chiffon If net or lace is to
be put over it.
Of course the net negligee can be made
very expensive by the lavish use of the
hand embroideries, which are so effective
upon net, and at least a little of such em-
i broidery is practically certain to appear
upon a net model. Fine soutache embroid

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
L1NCOIJS'. Neb.. May 11. (Special Tele
gram.) Freight Traffic Manager J. A. Mun
roe of the Union Pacific railroad has In
formed the railway commission that the
western roads will take up the sugar rate
question at a meeting In Chicago May IS.
He has asked the commission to postpone
the complaint from Grand Island which Is
to be heard May 19. The commission will
consent If the complainants do so.
The Burlington road has filed Its answer
to the complaint alleging that the rate of
10 cents from Grand Island to Omaha was
established at the request of the Grand
Island people for the purpose of encourag
ing the building of a beet sugar factory at
Grand Island.
Attorney C. J. Greene today asked for
ten days' time in which to file station re
ports for express companies. The railway
commission denied the request. The reports
asked for by the commission are due
today.
The Kearney Telephone company, which
was given permission by the Railway com
m is Ion to Increase rates, has applied for a
modification of the order so as to permit
the new rates to go In as fast as the pres
grounded system Is changed to a metallic
circuit and the new service is established.
Ode member of the Railway commission
will go to Cookston. Cherry county. Thurs
day to hear complainants who desire the
Northwestern road to open a depot at that
place. The town hopes to get considerable
trade from the Rosebud agency which now
goes to Valentine. At the same time and
place complaints from the town of Georgia,
two stations west of Crookston, will be
heard on the same kind of complaint.
N.-Pawee and C. A. Wllklns of Falrbury,
an executive committee representing the
Rock Island railroad employes, have sent
a courteous request to the railway commis
sion for an early hearing to permit railroad
employes to protest against further reduc
tion of freight rates in Nebraska. The com
mission will grant a hearing at a date to
be announced.
No Committee Mertlas; Soon.
Chairman Will Hayward of the republi
can state central committee, who was In
Lincoln today on business, said .he was
not contemplating issuing a call for a meet
ing of the committee at a near date. He
expects to attend the national convention
at Chicago in company with delegates and
alternates from Nebraska. After the con
vention he looks for the campaign to warm
up and he expects to spend the greater
part of his time at headquarters In Lincoln.

The Nebraska Bitulithlc company, which
obtained a Judgment for $18.45 against the

repairing plant in ISO."!, will be obliged to

The first official proclamation calling
for the observance of "Mother's Pay" was
Issued by Mayor Brown of Lineoin: the
second by Mayor Pahlman of Omaha: the

the fourth by Mayor Wols of Fremont.
In view of these facts. Nebraska may

STORM I AX ACCOMODATING OXE
Tornado vreepa Throaah Adams
Coaafr W Ithoat Striking; lloaae.
I.ASTINGS. Neb.. May 11. It was' an
unusually thoughtful and painstaking tor
nado that swept along for a distance of
five miles Just south of Hansen shortly
after o'clock last night. Although Its
velocity was so great Its roaring could be
heard In Hastings five miles south of tha
nearest point of the- disturbance it picked
Its way carefully among farm buildings
and subsided at the edge of Hansen, with
out even so much as loosening a shingle
on any farm building or causing anybody
to loose his equilibrium.
The storm started at the Kobersteln
farm, five miles northeast of Hastings. It
traveled In a sort of serpentine curve to
the north, passing within forty rods of 8.
O. Cooper's house and still nearer the farm
home of E. T. Owens, which is Just out
side the Hansen village.
Farmers who live near the path of the
storm say they could telfby the speed with
which papers and loose boards were fly
ing through the air that the wind was
traveling at a velocity fast enough to de
stroy almost any farm building that might
be In Its way. That It traveled five mile
without colliding with some structure Is
considered quite remarkable.
