Manderooa of the Ilurllngton and Ocneral
Managor Bldwoll of the Elkhorn returned
on a special train from Topeka yesterday.
They spent Friday in Topeka In conference
with tho cattlemen In Kansas rclatlvo to
rates charged for tho transportation of live
stock. Tho meeting was participated In by
Oovurnor Stanley of Iunsas, at whoso In
stanco It was called. The ratu situation wna
discussed n a general way. Freight olnclals
of tho various roads Interested remained in
Topeka for tho purpose of a continued con
ference on tho subject under consideration,
which woh held yesterday. Tho Union 1'aclflc
was represented nt this Becond day '8 confer
ence by Freight Traffic Manager Munroe and
Assistant Ocneral Freight Agent Lane, and
tho Ilurllngton by General Freight Agent
Crosby.
"Tho Kansas rattlenicn," stated Ocneral
Solicitor Mnndcrson In speaking of Friday's
meeting, "aro desirous that thci carload
rating for shipments of live stock bo rc
lnfctated. December 1 tho custom of charg
ing dollars per car for the transportation of
cattlo was changed, and since then a raise of
cents per 100 pounds has been effective. Tho
railroad officials argued with tho Kansas
cattlemen, as they havo at all tlmo slnco
this question has been under consideration,
that tho only equitable way for charging
for llvo ntock shipments Is by tho pound.
Wo showed thorn that tho recompense re
ceived by tho railroad companies In hand
ling llvo stock Is less than that received
from nny other branch of freight revenue.
Tho meeting was not attended by any
definite action, and tho freight officials who
remained In Topeka ymtcrday, did so for tho
purpOHO of further considering tho subject
with tho Kansas cattlo shippers."

Tho Chicago, Ilurllngton & (Julncy Hall
road company, through W. 1). Mcilugh, ono
of Its local attorneys, has taken tliu rate
i eduction cases to tho federal court. This
issue Is now pending In the state supremo
court and a hearing Is set there for March 1.
Application was lmulo to Judge Jlunger
of tho federal court for a tomporary re
straining order, preventing the State Hoard
if Transportation from making further re
duction on freight rates ns nppllcd to cattlo,
hogs and other live stock.
Tho railroad people take the position that
tho State Hoard of Transportation Is without
authority to fix rates In Nebraska under ex
isting laws. Tho writ Issued by Judge
Mungcr Is returnable March 8, and slnco tho
cuprenio court already has tho case under
consideration, there seems to be a clash of
uuthorlty. Tho action In brought In the
iiamo of Henry L. Hlgginsou and others,
stockholders In the Ilurllngton road. Tho
railroad nttorneys say that Judge Mungor's
writ will atop all other proceedings until
utter tho hearing on Mnrch 8.

One of the builnnw agenls tor n local

"I havo been to Frank Moorcs flvo different

you think I can forget him? Hardly."
"Talk about tho deal by which tho repub
lican candidate for city treasurer wag nom
inated, why It's nothing Bldo of tho dirty
deal played with tho nomination tor tho
name ofljco In tho democratic convention,"
said a high-up democratic politician yester
day. "Kverythlng wan elated and llxcd for
us to nominate Harry P. Deuel for city treas
urer on tho democratic ticket and all his
friends worked tor tho winning delegations
with that understanding. Hut after they
had delivered and lived up to their agree
ment by turning Durklcy down and making
Popplcton tho mayoralty nominee, tho con
vention threw Mr. Deuel down for an alto
gether unknown who can hardly make him
self understood In plnln English. To add in
sult to Injury, after picking up for a $1,000
ofllco n man who was nover known to put
forth nny exertion In behalf of democracy,
It tried to hornswogglo Mr. Deuel by forc
ing on him tho city comptrollershlp, which
ho naturally Indignantly spurned. Think of
nn old-tlmo tried domocrat like Harry Deuel,
who hoe for thirty years and more been put
ting his shoulder to tho wheel and paying
taxes on real and pcrnonal property being
traded off for somebody by tho name of Mor
tem who has no claim on anybody for any
thing nnd who probably nover paid enough
taxes to buy a plug of tobacco. Talk about
dirty deals tho throw-down of Harry Deuel
will scandallzo the local democracy for years
to come, and just you watch his friends re

C. J. Andersen, on the republican ticket

will find it dono Just as you would have
done it or better. Ho is not only accurate,
thorough and conscientious, but apt and tire
less, Ho has been with us something llko
thirteen or fourteen years. Prior to that
ho was with tho Rector-Wllhelmy company
in this city and still earlier with May Uros.
of Fremont. His early services were nt pil
ing nail kegs in tho cellar. I believe ho
began work for us In that capacity. For
twelvo yearn, ho'vevcr, he has had charge of
our shipping department and for tho past
seven years ho haa also had chargo of nil
our men outside of tho office. Ho has looked
after all our freight matters nnd is ono of
tho beet posted men on such affairs In tho

tariff Kchodulp, that excited tho commenda
tion of railway men as ono of the cleverest
things they had ever seen In that lino.
"Ho is also ono of tho most apt men with
figures I havo over seen. Not long since ho
got up n stock book that Is n marvel of In
genuity and convenience. It Is In tho form
of a perpetual stock book. A big commer
cial houso in Philadelphia was shown a draft
of It and has slnco adopted It ns tho best
thing of the sort that was over devised, nnd
as a result Mr. Hcnnlngs received a hand

Friends of Thomas Harrington on tho fu
