LINCOLN' . Neb. , March 29. f Special to
Tin : Hus.J Explaining the misundorstnnd-
IIIL' regarding tno freight rates on corn
shipped from Nebraska to Chicago , Secre
tary liilchrist of the Btato uoard of trans
portation says :
There seems nt this tlmo to bo a great
deal of misunderstanding as to the status of
freight rates on corn from Nebraska to Chicago
cage und how they uro imido up , and also
what rates are charged from stations in this
stale to stations in the state , nnd how they
compare with through rates ,
"iho rnto fiom the Missouri river to C'h-
cugo on corn is 'M cents per 100 pounds , und
the rnto from thu most extreme western
point In Nebraska to Clnciigo is only f > cents
higher. Then1 are those who understand
that our through rate on corn to Chicago is
nuulo up by adding tlio local rnto from the
Lv. point of shipment in Nebraska to the Alls-
r Bouri river rnto , thu locnl ratu from the
Missouri river to the Mississippi river and
the rntu from the Mississippi river to Chi-
ciigo. This is a mistake. 1 will tuku ns nn
ill istrntion n point In Nubraslcn 100 miles
west from the .Missouri river.
'I hu Nebraska Hc > * cdulo rate for 100 miles
B 11 cents per hundred wuight ; across the
. .tuto of lown. 1- - - . " > cents per Hundred
weight ; from the Mississippi river to Chicago
cage , I ) 111-100 cents per hundred weight ; the
Mini of t'io ' three locals is 'M 71-100 cents pur
hundred \\oight ; while the rate now charged
from a point 100 miles west of the Missouri
river is U1H cents per 100 pounds , being
11 31MCO cents per 100 pounds less than the
bum of the locals In thu three states named.
"From the foregoing it is made plain that
thu through rate Is oalj OT 8-10 per cent of
the sum of thu locals. ' 1 ho sum of the locals
across low a and Illinois u 21 71-100. The
through ratu from points\\estof the Missouri
river to Chicago is lil'j cents , taking the
through rate to Chicago'Jl UHI of u c' > * at per
100 pounds less than the two locals from the
Missouri river to Chiengo. So If the locnl
rate on corn In Nebraska should bo entirely
wiped out from u point 100 miles u us t from
the Missouri nvur tbo through ruto on corn
r to Chicago would still bo the name.
"From this showing the reduction of local
rates in NobrusUa would not nlTeet the
present rate on corn slnmed from this stuto
to eastern murkois. Tliu following shows
the local rates on corn from stations In No-
brusku to stations In this stutu : For US miles
haul 5 coats pur hundred pounds ; for 50
miles haul , 0- cents per hundred pounds ;
for 75 miles haul , 0 cunts pur hundred
pounds ; fur 100 miles haul , IU cunts per
hundred pounds ; for ao miles haul , 10 cents
per hundred pounds , for ; IOJ mile * haul , IS
cents per hundred pounds ; for 110 miles
liuul0 cunts per hundred pounds. To miiko
U still plainer , to limit a ton of corn 85 miles
costs $1 , tx ) miles , ; t H'j ; 75 miles , $1 M ) ; 100
miles , * J.iO.00 ( miles , fJO ) ; iiOO mile' ) ,
"Tlio rate pur ton per mlle on corn for a
liaul of 100 miles Is 21) cents ; ' . ' 00 milrs , ID
cents , HOO miles , I'J cents ; 400 miles , 10 cenls.
A car load of corn , weighing -10,000 | > ounds ,

Missouri river to CUcuuo nt the pretent
local rates of the three states through which
it would p.iia , namely , lJ ! 71 tuu cunts tier

present through rate the cost oa the srnu

"I see , govoruor , thut ilcv. T. H Dry of
I.oup City takes you to talk la an open letter
jjubllma m TUK UEK icitcrdiiy , for
that there was very hltlo if any real destitu
tion in the northwest part of the stato. Huvo
joti unvthinB to say m reply i"
"U is not my practice to notice misstate-
incuts or misreprcsontntions , but the lettrr
of Kov. Thomas II. Dry of LOUD Oily
relatini ; to d sticss in Cheyenne county
needs a little attention from mo.
"This Mr , Dry did address tno a letter
some time lust full stilting that there wus
actual destitution and sutTorniL' in that
county. 1 replied to him saving that if 11 ic-
port showing tno extent of the destitution
and suflermg properly authenticated wus
made , and if tlio commissioners of that
county would emlor.se it und appoint u
reliable person over their seal of oilier ,
I would then give such person or persons my
cndoisement , i.nd uould make an appeal
to the public in behalf of those dcstituto
neoplo 1 noyur heard of him afterwards
mill ! I arrived ut Kimb.ill and received from
him a telegram dated at Loup Citj udvismg
mo to visit the vicinity of the Methodist
church about nine miles from Potter. It
did not suit this gentleman to adopt the
plan I proposed ami hnvu the appeal coino
from the properly constituted authority of
Choycnno count ) ; ho and others must make
their own appeal and receive thu donations
In their own way.
I spent nearly a day at Potter , nnd there
mot reliable irenllomun , right irom thu lo
cality whicti Mr. Dry dusirud mo to vlsn ,
who stuted thcru hull been no case of destui
tion to their knowledge in that vicinity , and
furthermore tout thu county was abund
antly ab'o ' to supply iho wants of all who
wcro m need. Others stated that they had
known of a few families in that section who
wcro m need of provisions , shoes and
elothinf during the last winter. In re-
3t > oiiso to my question , If they had made
knoun their wants to the county commis
sioners , 1 was informed thut they had not ,
and In reply to my question 'Why noti' the
answer was , They ivuro too proud to go to
the couimissionurs for hulp. ' And vet thuy
ueiu not too proud to semi agunts in iho
custci n part of tno stulo to beg for them.
"I became convi need wlulo at Potter that
quito a number of settlers who hud been
hailed out last season do need corn and seed
wticut , ami have not thu monov with which
to tiny it. I did not mention this fact as to
seed In my published statement , but I did
trtlto measures to rnuo $530 among tlio
charitably disposed business men of Omaha
fur the purchusu of seed wheat and corn to
bo sent to Potter , ami to ba distributed frco
of charge to these who were m need of It. I
did not tlilnli it necessary to report my
uffurts , ( to relieve the people In this respoet ) ,
to Hov. ihomas 11. Dry at Loup City. I did
not intend to refer to what I had done In
order to scciiro seed wheat and corn for
these part'es ' , but tins Hov. Thomas H. Dry
lius urawn it out. I did not need his instruc
tions as to whcro I should go or what I
should do in m.\ Into visit.
' I will ngaln state that from the very best
Information that I could ootaln by a personal
visit , und by personal inquiries of every
class of pioplo including farmers und home
steaders , in no Judgment there is no occa
sion for any appeal for hell ) outside of these
lespcctlvo counties to relieve cufforin ?

Whereas , The ciiv of Lincoln ,
through her commercial interests nnd
in behalf of her general welfare is In
terested m the growth and development of
the stnto of Nebraska , and it Is recognized
that the building of now railroads nnd the
prosperity of the railway interests within
tin * state is essential , aim ,
Whcro as , The local shipment within the
state comprises 10 per vent of thu tonnage
while the inter-stato shipment coinpiisos
'JO ' per cent of the tonnage , und in this
proportion the reduction of inter-state
is desirable , and.
Whereas , ' 1 he rate on corn from western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska is the same , -0
cents per 100 pounds , and the maximum rate
on corn to Chicago from the western points
in Ncbrask i is ' - ' , " > cents pur 100 pounds , or
six nulls per ton per mdo us against 1 cunt
per ton per milu from points in western
Iowa , and
Whereas , It is evident that tha rallroids
are giving reasonable rates oa grain in Ne
braska to uur eastern market , therefore bo it
llosolved , Thut the board of transporta
tion of the state of Nebraska In its endeavor
to aid the producer and tno commercial und
shipping iatcrous of the state should seek
to ruOuco the interstate rnto rather than tbo
local rate ; and bo it further
Kesolved , 'lhat no action bo taken lower
ing the local rates that wilt hnvu n tendency
to slop railroad extension within tlio state.
CONDITION or Till : ( UMTOI. .
The fact ns stated by Tun UIE yesterday
moi ningttmt 1 hursiluy's storm blowinona of
the largo windows of the cast wing of the
mate house , causing several ugly cracks nnd
lUsurus m the stuto superintendent's room ,
resurrected ttiu talk of a year ago to the el-
led that that wing was m u bad If not dan
gerous condition. This talk caino to the cars
of ho board of public lands and buildings
nnd some of its members , consisting of At-
toinoy ticnern ) Lccso , btuto Treasurer Hill
and Secretary of State Cowdury , carefully
looked into the matter this afternoon. They
( unto that the cracks nro duo to the settling
of the voncored walls. The outer OHO is of
stone und the inuor ono of brick. This loads
to the conclusion that Iho outur wall has
settled the faster , causing the cracks as
stated , The members of the board stuto
that the cast wing of the capital Is perfectly
safe and that they believe it will stand for
Douglas Ktroot < > rado.
Indications point to a merry war over the
proposed now grndo of Douglas street ubovo
Sixteenth. It is suid that the city engineer
is seriously considering a grade which will
bring about n cut ol six foct at Seventeenth
and Douglas streets , ami u cut of two to
three feet on Seventeenth street from Far-
nam north. At the crossing of the alley be
tween Douglas and Farnam , between tbu
Now York Life and Tin : Hii : : buildings , a
deep cut is proposed. If carried out It will
bo necessary for tbo own ers of these mnld-
Ings to take up and lower the new and
costly sidewalks on cither siJo of Seven
leunth street. This will not only of Itself
bo damaging to Iho buildings , but It will
affect to a great disadvantage the approaches
to the oftlcos in either budding fronting on
Seventeenth street. The whole business Is
impracticable uud will only result in a gen
eral scrimmage , protests and law suit ? . It
Is out of question thut Douglas street nt
Suvontuunth can bo cut more than three feet
without doing Irreparable damage to tbo two
most costly buildings in Omaha.
