LOUIS Reduction fn Export firnln Ilnlrn, Ilnllroml Men Assert, AVII1 Turn Tide of Trnlllo TliruKh St. I.nuU Inn'tenil at Ciilcuun. For the double purpose of equalizing ex port nblpmcnts of grain to Atlantic Bcaboard and Gull points and to place St. Louis on. the same basis aa Chicago as a gateway (or grain shipments originating In the west and consigned to Atlantic soaboard points, the Missouri Pacific ban announced a radical re duction In proportional rates on grain to 6t. Louis, East St. Louis and Carondelet. Official nnnouncemont ot this reduction Is mado by General Freight Agent Lincoln of the Missouri Puclfic an follows: "Bftecttvo March 6, in order to prescrvo commercial relations na rclnted to tho re cent reductions In rates upon grain to New Orleans and Galveatlon for export from Missouri river and western points, we will establish to St. Louis and Carondelet, Mo., from southwest Missouri river points, th following proportional rates- Wheat, 4 cents per 100 pounds; grain producta taking wheat ratofl, 6 cents per 100 pounds; course grain 4 centB por 100 pounds; products taking corn rates, 6 cents per 100 pounds. To East St. Lou 1b proportional rates will bo 1 cent higher. From trnnsmlssourl territory on and west of Missouri river, corresponding reductions." This action on tho part of the Missouri Faclflo Is tho most sweeping reduction in grain rates that has been made in some tlmo. Tho prlmnry reason for the estab lishment of the new proportlonala 1 that western grain shipments consigned to At lantic seaboard points for export have been shipped almost exclusively via Chicago as the gateway, Tho step taken by tho Mis souri Pacific han been prompted by tho de sire to get a sbaro of this business and divert such shipments via St. Louis. Until tho rates Just announced becomo effective thei rates via Chicago aro lower than via St. Louts. Heretofore tho proportional rato from Kan sas City to East St, Loula linn been ! cents per 100 pounds on wheat shipments. The new tariff Is a reduction of 4 cents per 100 pounds from Kansas City to East St. Louis, with corresponding reductions from all transmlssourl polnte. Effective yesterday a new tnriff from St. Louis and Chicago to Now York makes n rate of 13 cents per 100 pounds on grain for ex port. Computing the tariff from trans mlssourl polnte to New York on tho basil of tho new proportional ratr quoted by tho Mlrsourt Pacific to St. Louts and tin new rate of 13 cents per 100 pounds between St. Louis and New York, local railroad men assert that tho rates vlu St. Louis will be lower than through Chicago and will have a tendency to divert nil eastbnund export grain shipments through St. 1juIs unless tho Jlqes operating west ot Chicago reduce their rates. controlled almost exclusively by tho Northwestern-Union Pacific-Southern Pacific, has resulted In what promises to be a' lively raco between tho compotltlvo railroads looking toward tho reduction of running time. March 1 tho Union Pacific and tho North western put Into operation n now tlmo sched ule whereby tho westbound transcontinental trnln leaves Chicago at 10 n. to., arriving In Denver at 1:20 p. m. next day, making tho run in twenty-six hours and twcnty-mln-utcs, nnd tho enstbound train leaves Denver at 4 p. m., arriving In Chicago nt 8:30 p. m. next day, a total running tlmo. of twenty soven hours' nnd thirty minutes. Tho Burlington now announces that "March 11 It will adopt a now tlmo schedulo whoreby tho run both ways between Chicago and Denver will bo made In twenty-seven hours and thirty minutes. Under tho now time card No. 6, tho Denver-Chicago eastbound train, -will leavo Denver at 9:60 n. m. In stead of i it. m., passing through Omaha at 12:30 a. m. Instead of 11:59 p. m., and nrrtvo In Chicago at 2:20 p. m., flvo minutes later than nt present. This makes a total reduc tion In running tlmo of forty-flvo minutes. Westbound tho Burlington's Chlcngo-Denver passenger train, No. 1, will lcavo Chicago at 4 o'clock in tho afternoon instead of 1:30, reaching Denver at 6:30 p. m., ten minutes later than at present. This trnln does not pass through Omaha nnd Is Intended pri marily for Chicago-Denver and Pacific coast through business.

"There seems to bo a vast amount ot misunderstanding as to the position of tho National Live. Stock association on tho land leasing question," said Mr. F. P.

"Even tho govornor of Nebraska has in some, way ac quired tho Idea Unit tho national associa tion him sold out to tho corporations nnd Is busily engaged In trying to deliver the public lands of the west Into their hands. Nothing could be further from tho truth. At tho national convention at Fort Worth In January tho subject cams up for discussion and was debated at great length, resulting In tho adoption ot a resolution favoring the leasing of tho public grazing lands under certain restrictions that would Improve the gtnzlng and protect tho interests of the small stockman and settler from encroach ments of corporations. "Tho discussion nt Fort Worth brought out facts In regard to the rango that were btnrtllng.

Tho following communication was handed to tho editor of tho World-Herald yester day by tho officers of Federal union No. S091, denying certain statements which nppeaied In tho morning's issue of tho World-Herald. Tho editor- of tho puper, however, declined to allow the labor union the use of Its columns for this purpose: To tho Editor World-Herald: Under tho caption "Wholesalo Fraud" you publish, among other things, certain reflections upon Federal union No. 8091, of which I nm pres ident, which aro not only flagrantly ma licious, but altogether out of accord with tho facts. Federal union No. S091 Is a bona fide labor union, chartered by tho American Federation of Labor, under tho sanction of tho Omaha Central Labor union. Tho present mem bership numbers 238, only twonty-two of whom nro employed by the city. It Is true that tho members woro origin ally taxed $1 per head; this amount being tho regular charter fee. All of tho money thus obtulned Is still retained In tho union treasury, except that used for current ex penses, per capita tax, etc., except $55, which amount was paid out for funeral expenses of our late brother, Dennis Preston. This money was paid to the undertaking llrm ot Heafey & Heafey, which can be easily veri fied by calling on that firm. Your statement that this organization has no recognition by union labor In this city and that tho management of Ijbor temple "kicked them out as soon as tho nature of tho organization was discovered" nro nlso absolutely nnd maliciously false, as tho ap pended statements will show. Mr. Brown's statement thnt ho lost his place because he refused to Join Federal union S031 is qtiito correct, and for tho samo reason that n printer cannot work for tho World-Hernld unless ho carries) tho current working card of Typographical union No. 190, nnd the present city administration makco It a pra,c tlco to employ none but union labor. Therefore when Mr, Brown refused to nfly himself with tho forces of organized labor he was dealt with precisely as all unions deal with people of this caliber. II. H.

This Is to certify that the statements in tho World-Hernld of this date concerning Federal union 8091, so far as It relates to Its recognition by tho danger Is one that will divide tho lands up on some kind of equitable basis. The leasing plan seems to bo tho most practicable at this tlmo nnd the con vention decided for It. None of the bills ponding In congress were satisfactory, how ever, nnd tho convention ordered the ap pointment of a special committee, consisting of ono momber from each of the states and territories Interested, which committee Is al ready at work trying to draft n measure that will bo satisfactory to the stcckmen. Tho national association has received assurances that none of the measures now pending In congress will be pushod until the stockmen can bo hennl from. Tho national associa tion is looking after tho Interests of the ! stockmen, the littlo fellows as well as tho big ones, and nothing will bo dono without caroful consideration nnd discussion. "There Is no question but that tho tlmo has arrived when something must be dono It begins to look as If Kelly Is playing a wrong card on tho propcolton of giving bond.

From 1876 until her death In 18S7 his mother, Kosanna Slavln, drow n pension as a dependent mother of the dead soldier. In 1887 sho died. Her hus band, Michael Slavln, wus at that time a member of my family, bedfast as tho result of n fall from which on account of his cx tromo ago ho nevor recovered. Wo desired to havo tho pension of his wlfo transferred to htm and went to seo Frank Moores about making tho necessary nflldavlts and proofs. Ho prepared tho papers, took all acknowl edgments und sent tho papors to Welling ton, whero tho transfer wna made. At that tlmo wo lived In South Omaha and Frnnk Moores enmo out every pension day to take tho affidavit of tho bedridden old mnn nnd send hln vouchors to Den Moines. "Mr. Moores had been making theso trips for nearly a year when one day I went to his olllco and asked him what wo owed him for all of tho trouble to which ho had been In securing tho transfer and forwarding the vouchers. Ho replied: 'You work for the Union Pacific over tho river, do you not?' 'Yes,' I replied. 'Well,' said he, 'you go 'back over tho river and leavo the old mnn nnd me to settle It. Neither you nor I can do too much for a man like that, who lost a son In defonso of our country.' "And this notion ot Frank Moores Is not solitary, for I know ot many other cases of a like nature." "Yes," remarked Mrs. Sullivan, "if Mr. Moores never ran for nn office we will never forget his kindness to father whon he was unable to nrlso from his bed nnd when ho needed a friend.
