NORFOLK. Neb., Feb. 2. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho bearing by tho Interstate Com
mc'ie commission of charges of discrimina
tion made by the business men of Norfolk
against the mil roads doing business in tho
stuto opened here this morning before Com
missioner I.cary, tho only member of tho
commlsslon present. Tho defendant rail-1 oplexy, aged 33 years. He was born In Nor
roads centering here were repre- umI. M.. and was a son of Charles F.dward
scnted by Sholes of the Omaha road, Lane
of the Union Pacific, and Illdwcll and Mer
chant of tho Klkhorn, also by Attorneys
Harnes of the Omaha road, Orr of tho Union
Pacific, and White of the Ulkhorn. The
plaintiffs wero represented by Attorneys
Smith of Council Hluffs and Free of Nor
folk. Tho case was presented on behalf of tho
plaintiff by Attorney Smith, alleging dis
crimination. Whllo on behalf of tho railroads con
tended that tho rates by roads having
through connection with the coast should
not bo the criterion for establishing ratts
here, where roads face nn open nnd unset
tled territory. Seven witnesses wero called
before tho dinner hour.
Mayor Simpson detaltnd the principal In
dustries of Norfolk as being the manu
facture of sugar and shipment of cuttle and
sheep, and tho creamery Industry.
S. S. Cotton statod that sixteen tears ago
when tho committee from Norfolk called on
the railroad officials regarding bstter rates
It was Informed Hut It wasn't the Intention
to mako Norfolk a wholesaling point.
W. H. Dexter testllled the sumo as before
tho state board.
It. A. Stewart testified that the price paid
for milk at the creameries and skimming
stations in which he Is Interested Is based
on railroad rates. If rates wero lowered
more would bo paid and moro milk pro
duced. B. A. Bullock, foundryman, testified that
100 pounds of manufactured Iron could bo
shipped ns local freight from New York to
O'Neill 4 conts cheaper than tho samo arti
cle could be mude he.ru from materials
shipped la oar lots and reblllcd loyally from
Norfolk.
llluli Hates on Cnnl.
At the afternoon session Hultock was re
called nnd testified that freight charges on
scrap Iron lo Sioux City, seventy-four miles,
ore 10 cents; to Council Hluffs, 121 miles, 0
cents. On slack coal from the Iowa coal
fields the rate to Lincoln Is $1.20 per ton,
to Fremont $1.10, to Hlalr $1 nud to Norfolk
$2. thus showing that owing to discrimina
tion on fuel rates small manufacturing
plants could not compcto with other points.
Charles H. Johnson testllled and produced
In evidence tables of statistics he had com
piled from tariff books. These tables, simi
lar to those published today In Tho Dee,
wero marked exhibits A to S, and showed
wherein discrimination was practiced ugalnst
Norfolk at every turn. Hates on 100 pounds,
first class, from Sioux City to Hartlngton,
seventy-three miles, 38 cents; Wausa,
eighty-one miles, 40 cents; Illoomfleld,
ninety-one miles, 42 cents; Hope, seventy
two miles, 42 cents; Heemcr, 1S2 miles, 44
cents; Albion, 270 miles, fiO cents; Crelgh
ton, 116 miles, 50 cents; Norfolk, seventy
four miles, 45 cents. Tho table showed that
a through rate from Minneapolis to Nprfolk
over tho Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &.
Omoha railway made the rate from Sioux
City to Norfolk 20 cents per 100 pounds,
while the samo road from Duluth made the
rate from Sioux City to Norfolk 45 cents.
Through rates from Kansas City, St. Louis
nnd St. Joseph wero so that the rato from
Fremont to Norfolk was 15 cents; from St.
Joseph 20 cents and from St. Louis 10 cents.
In other words rates from points where Nor
folk merchants could get such goods as they
wanted were practically prohibitive.
Asked by Commissioner Prouty what ho
claimed the rate from Chicago to Norfolk
should bo Johnson said they should be tho
same as to Lincoln.
Attorney Orr of the Missouri Pacific rail
way asked whero would tho railroads get
nway from tho Lincoln situation it that were
granted.
Commissioner Prouty said Norfolk seemed
to bo tho only place awny from that situa
tion. Continuing, Johnson said that ever since
ho had been doing business In Norfolk ho
hud been trying to get a rate from Chleaso
to Norfolk via Sioux City, but had failed.
Ho could get a rate to all points on the road
between Norfolk and Sioux City, but tho
Omnha road ended at Hope Siding, two miles
out from Norfolk, so far as tariffs wero con
cerned. When Johnson concluded his testi
mony the railway attorneys did not desire
to cross-examine hlra. The hearing then
adjourned until 8:30 tomorrow morning.

Awny evly l.ntil Concrete.
Th- two gangs engaged in repairing the
bottoms of sewer mains have worked tliel
way to a point of Junction at Thirteenth and
Jones streets. Ono squad of masons began
work nt Sixteenth nnd Mason, and the other
at Fifteenth and Jackson, both branches
uniting at tho Immense Jones street drain,
which leads directly to tho river. The two
gangs havo continued to make the repairs
on Jones street and are working under some
difficulty. Thcro is ordinarily about eighteen
Inches of water in tho sower nnd this is
carried over tho section being repaired by
menns of a trough. After one of tho mild
days last week tho melted snow from tho
south ond west parts of tho city tilled the
sewer to a depth of four feet, tho current
reaching eight miles an hour. Tho dam was
washed nway, the trough swept down stream
and tho new concrete work was destroyed for
a distance of 300 feet. The workmen were
barely able to savo their tools. Several days'
work has been lost becauso of floods In the
sewers, and it Is doubtful whether progress
can be made while nnjr snow remains on the
ground. In the summer time, when there Is n
likelihood of sudden rains. It Is impossible to

For thirty years I have been
the confidential adviser of thou
ands of suflerers in all parts of the
world. 1 have devoted my life to
the careful study of Nervous De
bility and weaknesses of men and
women, from whatever cause. I

therapeutic appliances and have
restored over a hundred thou
sand men and women to physical
strength and vigor with my world
renowned Dr. SANDEN ELECTRIC BELT
The use of Galvanic Electricity,
Electric Suspensory for Men; with all Belts.
Why should suffering ones hesitate to try this cure by natural means ? a cure based on nature's laws, Of
course there are thousands who arc as yet unacquainted with the value of my great discovery, and to these I
say 1 have decided for a time to allow my latest nnd most improved 1900 Model Helt to be taken on
THIRTY DAYS' TRIAL.
1'roni thi offer it Ii apparent that I am sincere in what 1 state. I will cure where drugs have failed,
and it is tin- knowledge of

prostate gland. Write for my little book, mailed free, or call.
