Thcro Is considerable Interest In local freight circles over the cut In southern grain rates announced by the Plttsburg & Gull road. It Is generally voted a good thing for Kansas City , but not so beneficial to thia territory. The present rate from Omaha to Galveston Is 22 cents , 4 cents more than the tarin rate from Kansas City. As the new road has authorized a rate of 13 cents to Galveston , the rate from Omaha Is left 9 cents higher , and all calculations on southern grain business from this territory are upuet.

There was no surprise among local railroaders readers when It became known that Fred Cornell , the Missouri Pacific's city tlckal agent at Lincoln , had resigned to accept the position of local secretnrr of Uio Kansas City Passenger association.

General Freight Agent John Sargent ol the Kansas City , Plttanurg & Gulf railway denies the report that b.ls line Is making a 13 cunt or a 15 cent corn rate from Kansas City to Now Orleans and Galveston. Ho say that the Plttsburg & Gulf Is exacting the full tariff , which la 18 cents , and Intends to maintain that rate for the present.

Cnnntr Tlnllniii Will lie Itc- cnnnteil. The application for an injunction to restrain County Clerk Redfleld from sending the bal lots on the constitutional amondmcnU , and the poll book * ot this county to Lincoln wan denied yesterday by Judge K y or. The court stated that the application was denied for the reason that It had not been shown lhat the plaintiff , Phil B. Winter , had any standing In court , aud for the further reason that a court ot equity bad no jurisdiction In the matter. The question of the alleged un- conatttutlonallty of the recount law was not touched upon. In passing upon the matter Judge Kcysor paid that it bad not been shown that the plaintiff would nuffer great or Irreparable Injury - jury by the carrying out of th9 law , and It had not been shown that the granting ot a restraining order would stop any capenss attaching to the execution of the law. The expense of carrying out the law would bo no small upon any taxpayer , the court said , tint It would b ridiculous for a court to enjoin It upon that ground. H had been alleged , the court said , that the county clerk would be violating a prior law If ho sent the ballots to Lincoln , but the court said that an equity court could not act in such a case , It beln ? for the ofu- cer himself to use his best Judgment after consulting with his advUer * . The court also held that this application did not go to Uio heart of the matter , nnd If the people of the stntn had adopted the amendments It had best ho known at once. Jlldio Keytor said ho would decide the case mainly upon a point which had not been raised and that was that a court of equity has no Jurisdiction In such a case. The question Involved In the case , ho said , was that of the title of the two men de clared to have been elected Judgco of the supreme court , The court cited decisions In support of Its position that the proper course to take would be to contest the right ot these two men to hold office after they shall hnvo been declared elected. Thla action could bo brought under laws provided for such cases. In conclusion Judge Kcysor snld ho had not examined the question of the alleged un- constltutionality of the new law and would not pace upon that question.

KANSAS CITY , March C. The Kansas City Transportation bureau , which represents the allied shippers of Kansas City , has voted to Issue an ultimatum to the Western Freight * association lines , and to the Union Pacific In particular , demanding more favorable freight rates to Kansas City , and threatening a boy cott of the llneo offending should the de mand bo Ignored. It Is Insisted that Kansag City must be made a basing point for wcDt- bound freights , doing away with the alleged discrimination In favor of Chicago and St. Louis in clasa and commodity rated. Tbe troubla with. the Union Pacific has to do with grain ratrs , It being alleged that Kau nas City U discriminated against In favor ot St , Loula as to rates , and at Omaha and at St. .Joseph In the matter ot privileged ot inspection , sacking , etc. INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED Examination of the Charges of Mismanage merit Against tlis Union Pacific. CASES ARE TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT Soimntlonnl ncrcloiiiicnl Which Wor Aiitlclimtr.l Knllcil to Mn- lorlnlUc While Iho Towtl- uioii } ' Wn llclnw Taken. The Investigation Inta alleged mismanage ment on the part of the officials of the Union Pacific railway. Instituted by V. E. Gllllland , the discharged station agent of Papllllon , and likewise an officer In the Order of Railway Telegraphers , was concluded yesterday after noon In this city. The Investigation occupied several days In the court of Master-ln-Chan- eery Cornish In December last , and after an adjournment of two months wag taken up again during the past week. It started out os though the most sensational disclosures of rnUconduct on the part of the manage ment would bo made , but before It was finished It simmered down , to a rcmrukablo' degree of mediocrity. Two cases have been under consideration , namely : Alleged misconduct on the part of the heads of the medical department 'and mismanagement ot the hospital fund , and the complaint of certain employes that their wages -were cut during the depressed busi ness seasons of 1S94 nnd 18D3. All the testi mony In both cases la now la and both cases have been taken under advisement by Master-ln-Chancery Cornish. It will probably bo several weeks before he makes his report to the federal court. The hospital case was the only ono con sidered at yesterday's session of the court. The only witness examined was Chief Sur geon Qalbralth , who was called by the rail road company to explain certain charges made against himself by P. E. McMullun , his former chief clerk. Art unsuccessful at tempt to break down Dr. Galbralth's testi mony was made on the crote-cxauilnatlon by Attorney Dolphin. GALllHAITH EXPLAINS. Asked why the Denver hospital of the medical department had been cloaed , Dr. Gal- bralth said that the building tuero had been condemned by the health and plumbing Inspectors specters of Denver. Ho testified that It waa In such a dangerous condition that It was uneafo to take a patient there. Had the health authorities not ordered it closed , ho should have Insisted that his superior ofllcers do eo. In regard to the complaint that on Italian boy had been kept at St. Joseph's hospital and that his medical and board bills had been paid out of the hospital funds , Dr. Qal- bralth said that no charge for this case had ever hucn made against the hospital fund. In the cases of two men who were Injured on the road and cared for by the department , ho testified that when they were brought In , ho had supposed that they were employes of the road and entitled to medical edrvlco free. Later , when , ho discovered that they were not employes , the hospital fund , he said , was reimbursed by the operating department of the railroad for Its expense. The chief surgeon explained his action In endorsing the expense accounts of Assistant Superintendent Sutherland and Chief Canada of the road's special service depart ment , while they were at Excelsior Springs and Hot Springs , respectively , by saying that he wished to get a ruling on the question of such accounts , and therefore passed the Bouchers In order to get a decision from the general manager. Asked to explain why he had given away two sets of surgical knives to physicians , at the expense of the medical department , Dr. Galbralth said that last summer ho had under his. care a Union Pacific employe who was ainicted with a severe case of appendicitis. Two distinguished physicians were In the city , one from Montana and the other from Ohio. These he called to consult with him In the case , and later they as sisted him In on operation on the patient. When the physicians left they were requested to send In their bills for services rendered. Within a fortnight ho was surprised to receive two receipted bills , each for $250. After this action on their part , he thought It no more than right to present them with the knives In question. Should a similar circumstance arise , he would do the same tiling over again. TALE OP THE LIQUOR. Regarding the whisky purchased at a saloon , he said It was obtalred there because the druggls" from whom medical supplies were obtained was out of that particular brand of liquor. The whisky was used to fill the wreck-boxes that were carried on all wrecking cars , ofllcers' cars and at stations along the line. Ho did not remember ever having said to his former clilef clerk that the best whisky must be had because certalu ofllcers ot the company were coming out from the cast and their cars must be sup plied with the finest whisky. Ho denied having been Intoxicated whllo out on a cer tain hunting trip , though he said that ho had had "a very enjoyable time on that occasion. " Though cigars , beer and whisky were used on the trip ho was Euro he had not been Intoxicated. Ho knew this because ho had killed more birds than any ono else In the party. He had never received any complaint against any of his assistant sur geons , nor had ho retained any Inefficient surgeons In his employ. On cross-examination Attorney Dolphin made a vigorous attempt to weaken the tes timony of the vv'tness ' , hanking heavily on the sensational testimony of McMullcn , the discharged clerk of the medical department , to > Impeach the veracity of Dr. Galbralth. Stnmix nt tlii < Hcntl. Aug. J. Dogel , the leading druggist of fihreveport. La. , says : "Dr. King's New Discovery Is the only thing that cures my cough , and It is the best seller I have. " J. P. Cambell , merchant of Safford , Ariz. , writes : Dr. King's Now Discovery Is all that Is claimed for It ; It never falls , and Is a su.ro euro for Consumption , Coughs and Colds. I cannot Bay enough for Its merits. " Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption , Coughs and Colds 1s not an experiment. H has been tried for a quarter of a century , and today stands at the head.

All this pleases nobody but thp'Rcntlemen' oper ate livery stables , fo Jt 'means ' much added wealth to them. There iccms to bo an un written rule In CaMbfi FClty that anything on runners shall cost 'moro than anything on wheels , consequently visitors to the training quarters ot cither ono of the two solo cham pions ot the world must pay more by one- third for the distinction of sliding to their destination than for reaching It on wheels. The liveryman has no good reason for this save that U Is the custom of the place and It "goes. " There wa * the usual crowd around the depot this morning to witness the alleged Incoming ot John L. Sullivan , who , as usual , did not arrive. Nobody sccma to know when Sullivan Is coming or 'whether he la com ing at nil , but in Carson City and In Reno crowds surround every Incoming train to catch a glimpse of the man who gave Cor- bolt a clmnco to rise to the top In the fightIng - Ing world. A regiment ot Corbctts and FItzsImmons cannot begin to draw the crowd that John L. attracts. It has been decided that the tickets for the Sllcr-Hogan special , which Is to leave Chicago cage about the 13th Inst. , will have at tached a coupon calling for a reserved seat nt the ringside. There havd been set nsldo for this party of excursionists 1GO scats at 520 apiece and fifty-one e oaf si at $40 each. It eccms also that the tickets of the Alton railroad will have a. coupon calling for a seat , n high or n low price one , ns may bo desired. And It Is not Improbable that other roads may make similar arrangements to save passengers thp annoyance ot getting tickets after their arrival. The Sllcr-Hogan train will go over the Alton to Kansas City , thcnco over the Union Pacific to Ogden , the Southern Pacific to Reno , and the Virginia & Truckeo to Carson. A rate of $39.90 from Salt Lake to this city and return has been an nounced. Neither Corhett nor FItzsImmons was able to do any oulsldo work today.

This was ample leg work of the kind , though. Fttzslmmons ac knowledged that It was rather a poor kind. Snow began to melt early In the day anil by noon the streets were a sea of slush , and the roads streaks ot deep black mud. Going through this stuff , he was badly bespattered when he reached town , He remained but n short time , and then started on the return trip to his training quartern , going nt a trot whsn possible , but for the most part ho was compelled to pick hlg way from side to side ot the road In search ot spots where walking waa easy.

And the girls were not wanting. Speaking ot the Ehqw , Chairman Mlcklc of the committee of arrangements said : "Of course It would not < lo for me to pralso the show too boastfully , "but I think it you will Inquire around that everyone Is willing to vote It a grand , success.

"Yes , I think our success warrants holding another cycle show -next year. We have paid all our expenses , and people who were at the Dpnver show tell us that ours com pletely eclipses that ! ot the Colorado capital. That's saying a good deal , too , for Denver Is a great bicycle town. Next year I think our show will be held In the Coliseum. We can nil It , and our. exhibits will have the advantage of all being on one floor. " Chief Consul O'Brien of the Nebraska di vision of the League of American Wheelmen said : "Of course , the show's been a suc cess , and we'll have a blggerf ono next year. It has been the biggest nnd best cycle show over held In this part of the country , but wo can do better next season.

South Omaha Mows . C A day or two ago The Bee printed an Inter view with W. L. Holland , local manager ol the Nebraska Telephone company , In which ho asscrlol that J. C. Hopplnger , who waa supposed to bo at the bead ot the new tele phone company now seeking a franchise from the cltr council , wag not rated In Dun's or tlradstreet's. Frank P. Collins , agent for the Mississippi Valley Telephone company , was In the city yesterday , and made n state ment to the effect that J. C. Hublnger ot Keokuk , ! . , la the man who la backing the new venture. Mr. Hublnger Is given n rat- Ini ? In both Bradstrcct's and Dun's. In some way alV of the newspapers here , In re ferring to the scheme , used the name Hop plnger , Instead ot Hublnger. This error causing the mlistatemcnt. Chairman Cald- wcll of the council Judiciary committee under , stood that Hopplnger was the person to look up , as did also a number of other city officials- Interested. As for business men having to pay for tno 'phones , Mr. Collins says that It the now company does not get three-fifths ot the present subscribers of the Nebraska Telephone - phone company , the concern ho represents would not accept a franchise. Continuing , Mr. Collins said that unless his company obtained a franchise In Omaha It would not bother with putting In a plant here , as the sub scription list Is too small to fight over. One section of the ordinance granting the new company a franchise , which was read for the first tlmo at the meeting of the coun- ell last Monday night , Is causing considerable unfavorable comment. The section provides thnt poles erected In streets and nlleya shall be so placed ns to Interfere as llttlo ns possi ble with the use of the streets and alloys. Any subsequent change or removal of these poles , which Is made by order ot thocity council , shall bo without expense to the com pany. In other words. If the city officials do not like the location ot the poles , the city will bo compelled to pay Tor moving the same. Ruslnora men who have been scon In regard to this clause , say that the city has no money to pay Its debts with , let alone moving the poles and wires of a corporation. The general feeling seems to bo that this clause should bo stricken from the ordinance It there Is any likelihood of the council granting the franchise. Others are ot the opinion that the council could very well wait until Uie Omaha council reports on the fran chise , for , unless a franchise Is granted there the lines will not bo built here. The whole matter will most likely bo thor oughly gene Into when the Judiciary commit tee' meets Monday afternoon. Miiiilolnnl PolIllcN. While- great deal ot quiet work Is going on In political circles , there docs not seem to bo very much Interest taken In the spring election , which Is to bo held on April C. Four councilmen nnd three members of Board of Education are to be elected. The First ward republicans arc talking of getting to gether and selecting ) some good man to rep resent the ward. It this Is done , It Is fig ured that any man the democrats want to put up can be beaten at the polls. R. C. Young ot Swift aud Company , has been sug gested as a representative republican. Cap tain Gllchrist Is also mentioned , so Is Harry Carpenter. A. R. Kelly has many friends who would like to see him holding down a councilman's Job. but Kelly asserts that ho Is not looking for the office , as It would be Impossible to devote any tlmo to city affairs. It Is figured that It will bo a hard matter to elect a republican In the Second ward , but It a good man Is chosen , Mies and Franek , the two democratic aspirants , will have a fight on their hands. Franek lias been working on bis campaign for a long time , and Is very anxious to bo re-elected. Mlea has entered the ring , and the fight there will be between the friends of these two men. Over In the Third ward John Ryan , John Wear nnd Patrick Hyland are all hustling for the democratic nomination. Two years ago Hyland was elected on the itipubllcan ticket , but ho has switched and would like the sup port of the democrats this year. Some hard work ) will most likely bo done by all of the candidates between now and the date set for holding the primaries. TlmuliH for DnimtloiiH.
