LOW RATES TO GULF PORTS
Ifistonri Pacific Pltcei Omaha cn Ipi'j
with Eamu City and St Louis.
i
EFFECTIVE ON FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER
(.rain Ktrhaaae Men Delighted, as
This I Precisely What Ther
, Hate Wanted to Perfect
Irbrnif,
The Missouri Pacific railway yesterday
reduced rates to St. Louis, Memphis,
Uslveston, Carnndelet and other southern
points, which places this city on the same
footing In the shipment of wheat and coarse
grslns aa Kanraa City. Through the out
let now afforded by the gulf deep-water
harbor thin city will be able to market
grain In all pari of the world In competi
tion with Kansas City and St. Lou In, and
this la exactly what grain men In this city
have been trying to secure, but until now
with no hope of success.
A message was received by J. O. Ph I'.lppl,
assistant general freight agent of the Mls
soutl Pacific,' today, which rendi aa follows:
"It Is our purpose to establish, effective
December 1, the following proportional
rates on grain and articles taking grain
rates from Omaha to Ft. Louis, Carondelet
and Kast St. Louis; Wheat, 9 cents; corn,
cents. Memphis, wheat, 14 cents; corn,
13 cents. Westego and Galverton, for ex
port, wheat, 19 cents; corn, 18 cents.
"J. T. LINCOLN."
The dispatch was dated In Bt. Louis yes
terday. Meet the Demand.
As was stated In an article which ap
peared In The Bee last week this is ex
actly what the grain men of this city have
desired all along. When Kansas City busi
ness men raised the protest on account of
the action In reducing rate taken by the
Chicago Great Western, several of the
grain dealers here stated that If all the
roads would agree to put all the western
markets on the same footing to both north
ern and southern points that would be all
that could be asked. It has not been
thought possible that the railroads would
do this.
A small amount of grain lias been ex
ported from Omaha via the gulf ports In
past years, but this year there have been
no export shipments made that way.
There has never been a through rate from
this place to gulf porta and this Is the first
one which has ever been announced. Kan
sas City has been exporting large quanti
ties of grain via the gulf porta for years,
but owing to the large difference In thn
ate In favor of that city It was lmpoailble
for us to compete, but the gateway Is open
now, and, of course, Omaha Is on the same
footing.
The rates heretofore In effect from this
city to St. Louis were: Wheat, 14 cents
and corn 13 cents; to Memphis, wheat S3
cents and corn, 21 cents. The rate to Gal
veston and Westego has been the sum of
several locals, and, as there has been no
business from here, local railroad men are
unfamiliar with It.
It was said yesterday that the Wa-be-sh
and Burlington would announce the
same rates today aa those announced by
the Missouri Pacific Monday.
Wattles Is Delighted.
"I heard the news of the new rate just
a few minutes ago," said O. W. Wattles of
the Omaha Grain exchange. "The mem
bers of the exchange will undoubtedly be
pleased at this move, which throws -open
the Gulf ports to us. No pressure has been
brought to bear by anyone In Omaha to
effect this change; we are going to get our
grain market without fighting any of the
railroads. It Is undoubtedly to the Interest
of the Missouri Pacific to put In this low
rate and I think It has wanted to do so
for a long time. The fact that Omaha was
establishing a grain market gave It a
chance to make the change. The Missouri
Pad no depends largely on grain for Its
freight to the south and It Intends to get
ail of the grain and flour going out of
Omaha that It can. We are on the road
to the Omaha grain market. We will make
It a success."
BETS FAVOR JNEBRASKA TEAM
. Odds Given That Coruhuskers Will
Shat Oat Illinois at

For the Nebraska-Illinois foot ball game
at Lincoln on Thanksgiving day a number

The Illinois team did not go back to
I'rbana after the game with Iowa at Iowa
City last week, but has gone on to Lincoln
In order to get acclimated and to become
acquainted with the foot ball field and to
do some light prsctlce. A large delegation
of rooters will go from this city, aa the
railroads have made a special rate.

GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW
Hordes of Turkeys Make District Look
Like Tenement Mouse During;
Epidemic.
Commission row these days looks like
the tenement district of a great city
crowded with cases of Influenss, snd other
enxas. It Is the crates of turkeys. They
are arriving from all directions by every
express train.
"There Is a sort of family pride about
It." said a young gobbler from Kansas.
"People must have a turkey or lose cast.
Shortly before his death my uncle saw two
poor colored women wash women he took
them to be come Into a market nnd
deposit money, a dollar one and the other
82, an advance on the turkeys they meant
to buy If they had to mortgage the wash-
tub. Another case I heard of was that of
a laborer who was only getting 85 a week,
yet he was willing to pay 83.50 for one of
us."
Turkeys are probably higher than thoy
will b Wednesday. They are certainly
high, the tidy dressed stock resting now
at a 20-cent figure, while the retailers will
sell it for a small nnd necessary advance.
The trouble Is that everyone Is holding
off. They nre certain the price will not get
higher, and with the number of birds rttsh
Ing In there Is a good chance of a weaken
ing In figure. Fo the meat market men
era holding off. Last year the turkeys onlv
reached an IS to 19-cent mark. The birds
are nther nice this year, fully average, al
though what would be named a first-class
bird at Thanksgiving time Is only a second
rater at Christmas. They are too poor to
freeze and so the price Is rather easily af
fected by n large supply.
The geese nnd ducks and chickens are
feeling the high price of turkeys In a small
advance in demand. The dresied ducks and
geese are at a 11 nnd 12-cent wholesale
mark and the chickens are at the old price.
Of the accessories to the Thanksgiving
feast the oysters are likely to give the prin
cipal dig to the pocketbook. They . are
higher than last yenr and will quite proba
bly be higher by Thanksgiving day. They
are senrce because of storms, but there will
be enough to fill all the mentis. The cran
berries are fine and wholesale at from
89.50 to 811. The celery is now all from
California and is of good quality and rea
sonable price. It Is perhaps not as highly
bleached as could be wished.
"THE OLD SCRATCH."
How the Krll One Came to Be Pops-
lnrly Known as "The Old Scratch."
One of the many familiar names of his
satanlc majesty is "The Old Scratch." It
Is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratch
ing is so disagreeable that people thought
It no worse than the evil one. A scalp full
of dandruff keeps one scratching all the
time; i.ot only disagreeable, but con
sidered very inelegant in polite society aa
It should be-because one ought to keep the
scalp so clean that It would not Itch. To
cure the scalp of dandruff effectively, use
Newbro's Herplclde. It kills the germ that
creates the dandruff, which Is preliminary
to fallffig hair, and, finally, baldnees. No
other hair preparation kills the dandruff
germ. Herplclde also Is a very delightful
and effective hair dressing. Sold by lead

LURTLEY BONDSMEN CASE IP
Old Action RstitkI for Fifth Tima in the
Liitriot Court
ALL SURETIES INVOLVED THIS TIME
Judge Raster's Chambers Crowded
and Audience Witnesses 1)1 f
arnlty In Getting a
Jury to Act.
The fifth trial In the cases which have
grown out of the defalcations of formT
State Treasurer Joseph 8. Bartley , was
called before Judge Baxter yesterdxy
when suit was brought to recover on the
bond given by Bartley.
The bondsmen Include W. A. Paxton.
Thomas Swobe and Cadet Taylor, who were
not made a party to the last action on the
ground that they had not signed Bartley'
bond until after it had been tiled with the
supreme court, and for the further fact that
there had been no consideration. On thee
grounds an appeal was taken from the dis
trict court, where it wus heard by JuilRe
Baxter, who Is also hearing the case this
time. The supreme court remanded the
case back to the lower court on the as
sumption that all of the parties who had
signed Hartley's bond should be made a
party to the action for recovery, and that
Is the statu of the case Just now.
When the case was called the court room
was crowded. The morning hours were
devoted to securing a Jury. Every
manner of question that might have had
any bearing upon the action, was asked
the Jurors and after It had seemed that
certain Jurors were to pass without a
challenge, the fertile brains of the lawyers,
for one side or the other, would call up
some matter, apparently trivial In itself,
which would prove sufficient grounds for
rejecting the juror.
Jurors Hard to Get.
Nearly every Juror said he had formed
some opinion of the case which it would
require evidence to remove. Others
voluntarily asked to be excused from sitting
in this case upon these grounds. Only one
juror was found, who had not, at one time
or another, read about the case In the
newspapers ar talked about it with friend;).
Each of these had formed their opinion.
The Jurors did not think that a claim
which was made by the state, was any
more sacred than one which might be
made by a private Individuals, but the fact
that this case had been of such general
Interest, has made It certain that nearly
everyone who might be qualified to sit
as a Juror has read about It and formed
an opinion.
Some of those who had formed opinions
wero permitted to go unchallenged. With
one Juror, however, who had formed an
opinion, having stated that he was older
than 60 years, it was held that an opinion
once formed by a prrson of that age. Is
not liable to change whether exldence
be Introduced to repute It or not, and
on the ground the challenge Juror
had been a street car motorman and
It often fell to him to haul W. A. Paxton,
one of the defendants. This, It was thought,
was just grounds for a challenge, but the
Juror was retained.
Every effort la being made to contest the
case to a l.nlsh. Attorney General Prout
and County Attorney English are repre
senting the state.

ANIMUS OF DUNN EXPOSED
Motives Aotnating Ignatius Jehovah's Fight
on Diamond Told by Witness.
GREAT REFORMER AFTER DENNIS0N
In VII Terms He Declares tils In.
difference to Others nnd Ills
Determination to Get
His Mnn.
In the hearing of the application for man
damus against the mayor and Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners, brought at the
Instance of Ignatius Jehovah Dunn, the anl.
mus of that truly virtuous reformer was
partly made apparent before Judge Estelle
yesterday. Dunn has alleged in his rela
tion that gambling Is being carried on In
connection with the Diamond saloon on
Douglas stiect, and ' wants . the court to
order the police board and all other city
officials to arrest, imprison, prosecute and
otherwise dispose of certain persons whom
he alleges to be connected in a proprietary
way with the saloon. Among these persons
Is Thomas Dennlson.
Witnesses Introduced yesterday In
cluded Deputy Sheriff Sherry, who testified
that he had been Instructed during the sum
mer of 1902 to serve all warrants sworn
out by Dunn for the arrest of parties sus
pected of keeping gambling houses. Sherry
swore that Dunn was told of a number of
places against which evidence had been ob
tained, and that Dunn replied that he was
after Dennlson; that he didn't care a d n
about the other fellows; he was after that
, using one of the vilest epithets
known, and that he proposed to send him to
the penitentiary; he wns bent on breaking
up the combination between Dennlson,
Moores and Roeewater, and that he would
never quit until he had Moores and Dona
hue in the penitentiary along with Dennl
son. In reference to the gambling at South
Omaha, Dunn aald he hoped that Berlin
and Haley would get strong enough to put
Dennlson out of the business.
Hoacb Corroborates It.
Deputy 6hsriff Rouch testified to prac
tically the s.ime state of facts. He said he
had heurd Dunn say that he was paying
all hla expenses out of his own pocket.
Just before election In 1902 Dunn got hold
of a claim against Berlin c Hsley of South
Omaha and Immediately began a campaign
against them. Roach said to him:
"Why don't you let these people alone
until after election? They are solid In line
for our friends. I know they are standing
for Hitchcock and English."
Dunn replied that he didn't rare a d n
who they were for, he wouldn't stand for
them any longer.
Koach couldn't awear of his own knowl
edge that Dunn wss paying his own e
penses. He only knew what he had heard
Dunn say. He hud also heard Dunn use
vile and abusive language In referring to
Dennlson and had heard him say that he
was after Dennlson solely.

PARTED MANY YEARS AGO
Mother's Picture Brings Brothers To
gether After n Long;
Sepurutlon.
Two brothers, both heroes of the civil
war, met after a separation of thirty-five
years, during which neither had received
any word of the other. This Is what J. M.
Lucas of New Mexico and J. H. Lucas of
San Diego have just experienced. J. M.
Lucas found his brother in San Diego last
week.
"After the war," he said, "my brother
and I were separated. He came out west.
I stayed In the east. During the war w
both served In the Twenty-first Ohio regl.
ment.
"We finally lost track of each other and
each thought the other dead. A few years
ago I removed to New Mexico, near Santa
Fe. I decided I would attend the encamp
ment held In Ban Francisco and I have
been up there during the last few weeks.
"On my way home I decided to conic
town here to see your famous bay. I or
ived yesterday e.nd while In a fruit store
cn Ceventh street I rtcognhsed my brother
as Its proprietor. I went up to him ant!
without saying anything showed him the
picture of our movher, which I carry with
me. He had not rtc.ignlsed me at first,
but when he baw cur rr.o.her's picture In
my hands he knew me at tnce; and we em
braced each other, much to the surprise
and, afterward, the rtu.'.'fcht of the others
in 'he it ore. Of otir,e, each was tre
mendously surprised to know that the other
was iivlng and prosperous and, of course,
we were Infinitely ff'nd over our discovery.
. "When we separated we were little more
than hoys. We bave lived apart through
the prime of our 'Ives. Now that we meet
again ufter thlity-five years we are both
of us fathers .r.d grandfathers.
"All last night was rpent In tUklng over
the times we pent together as boys on
the farm snd as soldiers tn 'he field. And
then we talked of the time we have spent
apart, each mourning for the death of the
ether."-San Diego Times.
