I'OHATIONS THAT AUK HUN
NINO TIIK RAILROADS FOR
TIIK STATK OF NKIIRASK A.
Tho railroads belong to the Mate
and tho corporations that were sre
ated by tho Mate uro running the
rallroada for tho state, ns agents.
And they are allowed to tax and col
lect their pay from tho persons that
use the railroads, under tho rules
and laws of this state, based on the
constitution of the United States, on
qunl terms and without discrimina
tion. The corporations that are running
the railroad, for this state, as agent?
are charging persons for traveling
on Bald state roads 2 4-10 and 3 cents
per mile, which is in direct violation
of the rules and laws of this state,
and the constitution of tho United
States. . !
Therefore, I ask that the state
legislature appoint a oommltteee to
investigate the corporations that are
running the railroads for the state,
ns agents, and that they require the
board of directors of said corpora
tions to appear before them to show
cause why the state should not take
over the corporations that are run

of tho laws of the state and the con
stitution of the United States. .Res

lllKUNtiTON COMPANY
IS AFTIJi TIIK CASH
That Hurlington railroad Interests
made leases which they should not
have made a no now wish to recovei
tho money which they thus lost is the
BUbstance of two suits tiled by the
Chicago Hurlington and Quincy Rail-,
road company In federal court in Lin
coln. The Chicago Hurlington & Quincy
Hallway company, it Is declared,
while le:slrg the railroad company's
lines on October r, 1903, gave the
Duff Grain company of Nebraska
City, a lease on certain premises
there for twenty-five years for n con
sideration of $5. The leasing com
pany, it is further declared, on Feb.
27. 1917. gave the Dierks I.utnbe.r
company of Lincoln a lease on proper
ty in Lincoln in consideration of $5,
the leaeso to terminate within one
year of notification by the railroad.
The railway company is declared
Jo have turned back the railroad to
tho railroad company July 1. 1907.
The railroad company points out that
both In Dierks anl Duff Kanes were
not legal ut nil and that the firms
tthourd pay for the advantages which
the railroad granted them. It is ad
mitted that tho railroad granted the
leases in order to gain advantage
over competitors in obtaining busi
ness; that special freight rates were
granted the leasing firms rltho the
interstate commerce commmission
later ruled that a railroad cannot
charge any shipper rate:-, below the
published tariffs.
Tho Burlington wants the Duff
lease which was to run for twenty
five years, terminated and the Duff
company forced to pay$64 5, which
sum, it is declared represents a just
rental for the land at $50 a year, up
to October r. 1916. It asks Judg
ment against the Dierks company for
$5,548.34 with Interest at 7 per cent
from May 29,1916. when the Dierks
lease was termlnaeted upon proper
notice. It is declared that $6. in was
a just rental for the land used by the
Dierks company.

Several railroad accidents have oc

It is almost a miracle that accidents

which chaiacterUud the opening of
the original bridge, although of
equal commercial Importance.
A few of the old timers of the cen-
U..1 add western states recall the
' memorial dav nearly fifty rears ago
when the old ''IlannnibaP" bridge
, was thrown open to the growing
i traffic, which was pushing Its way to
, a great undeveloped territory beyond
the Missouri river. This bridge was
! the first to overcome the natural bar
' rier formed by the great river. Trans
Missouri traffic thus naturally grav
' itr ted to Kansas City which immedi-
ately became tho principal outfitting'
; point and supply center for the great
' south west.
The old bridge was projected as a
j part of the plans of the Hannibal &
i St. Joseph railroad to reach Kansas
City. A branch line was constructed
I from Cameron. Mo., under the name
! of the Kansas City & Cameron rail
j road to a point opposite Kansas City
'on the Missouri river over which the
' old Hannibal bridge was built and
afterwards opened concurrently with
jthe railroad on July 3. 1869. These
properties were later acquired by,
and for many years have been oper-
ated as integral parts of the Hurling
1 ton railroad.
; The new structure is located near
by and on tho up stream side of the
old brldgo. Ued rock supported con
: crete piers carry the three double
; decked main spans over the stream.
The lower deck supports a double
! track railroad. I'rlvisions are made
' on the upper deck for wagon traffic,
which on the old single track bridge

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look

Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, common-aense
health measure being
adopted by millions.
Physicians the world over recom
mend the inside bath, claiming this Is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb Impurities Into
the blood, causing 111 health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous day's indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri
fying the entire alimentary canal be
