JO THE OMAITA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, XOVEMDEK 23, 1904. 7 NOTED MEN VISIT THE WEST Jacob F chiff and King Eiwtrd'i Secretary Stop in Omaha. GENERAL WILSON ALSO IN THE PARTY . Jl Deri ln s . B Interviewed, ftnrlnst Their Trip la One of pleaaar and of Ko Slatallcaaee. Jacob Echlff, the directing head of the New tcrk banking hftuse of Kuhn. Lioeb ft Co., Sir Kilward Caxsrll, flnancal sec retary to Kirs Edward VII of Kngland, and General Wllaon, retired, United States army, were with the party of Kug.lsh capi talists who arrived In Omaha yesterday In a speclil train running ae the second ae.'tlin of No. t on the Chicago & North western. Mr. Schilt Is the financial power behind the Ilair.man system of railroads and Is tha directing head In other enter prises requiring the Investment of large capital. Blr Edward manages all the finan cial Investment of King Edward, who has considerable money Invested in varloua en-terprl-e.1 In th.s country. The fact that Sir Edward Is with the party has given rise to the rumor that the purpose of the prrsent tr.p Is tha U- at- ment of English capital In largo w e.i 'n entrrrilses. Sir Edward would not discus the purposes of the present trip. He said: "We have made It a strict rule upon the occasion of this trip not to speak for pub lication to the representatives of the press In any of the cities we have had the p ass ure to pai s through. 1 will say the present trip Is largely for pluasure. We shall go to Ban Francisco and from there return to the east by way of New OrUani. We may stop for a few hour a along the way for the pur pose of sightseeing." "Are any financial project under con sideration T" 'There you go. I must decline to an swer. Other than the reasons given I moat decline to discuss." Xone Will Be Interviewed. Other members of tWe party were equally reticent. Mi1. Bchilt said he had no other thought In crossing the continent exoept to enjoy himself. One of the Englishmen In the party who was appealed to said no special significance attached to the trip. "We have nothing 'up our sleeve,' as you express It," he sold. "We are merely look ing over the country." "Is It true your visit to Chicago had lir view the financing of the underground rail road system there?" "I can't say as to that." "Is it a fact that Kuhn, Loeb On. are the financial backers of that enterprise?" "Really I'm not at liberty to talk. I know nothing oC the Chicago tunnels that I am at liberty to talk about." Tho party was met at the depot by A. I Mohler, general manager of the Union Pacific, who will accompany the visitors to the coast; Thomas M. Orr, secretary to general Manager Mohler; John B. Berry, chief engineer; W. A. Deuel, general super intendent, who went a. short distance with the party, and Charles Ware, assistant su perintendent of the Unton Pacific. Upon their arrival the members , of the party were asked to pose for a picture, but this they declined to do, although they had no objection to being photographed In ' haphazard style. The party left In a special train over the Union Pacifio, drawn by one of the great Atlantio types of pas senger engines. These locomotives are cap able of developing a speed of eighty miles an hour and are counterbalanced up to that point They are fitted with the Vanderbllt tank and are the largest type of passenger locomotives In nee. ! The coaches consisted of ooa baggage car and private cars used by officials of the road. These were No. 100, 'C3and '01, be lolngtng to the Union Pacific officials, and Ma 1903 of the Short Line system. fifth. Niv: Albert Wagner. Thirty-fifth an'l (Vntir, girl; Slg.

AGAINST BILL OF LADING t oramerrlal Clnn "ends Its Formal rrsteat to Interstate Com merce Commission. The Commercial club has forwarded Its petition to the Interstate Commerce com mission against the proposed uniform bill of lading. In notifying the commission of Its action, the club says: "In transmitting this proposition we desire- to say that we are not doing- It In a perfunctory way. We have fully considered the uniform bill of lading and we are convinced that the adoption of It will work severe hardship upon our members." Under the provisions of this uniform bill of lading the carriers attempt to' escape their common liability. It provides that If shippers desire to hold the railroads re. sponsible for the safety of their property while In transit they will be forced to pay an additional 20 per cent to the present tariff schedule; It requires signature of t shipper to- onerous conditions and com pels shippers and their assigns to assent to all these conditions In writing. More than this. It mokes bills of lading non negotlatble. In the opinion of eminent counsel the shipper for the first time In railroad history Is tendered a legal choice between two rates, and If he ships at his own risk In consideration of the lower rate, that rate Is a legal consideration and the waiver of common law liability and will prevent the shipper from recovering for any loss or damage while his goods are in transit. 1 LIVELY TILT 0N COAL RATES Competition Between Railroads Be comes Sharper and Omaha May Be Greatly Benefited. Coal rates are decidedly warm around Omaha. The various roads hauling coal from Kansas and Missouri mines are get ting together and agents are making visits to Omaha coal dealers In an effort to locate more trade and find out why the Burlington Is doing two-thirds of the bust ness from Missouri, Kansas and even Iowa. The Illinois Central, heretofore in different to the possibilities of Omaha and Nebraska, has come to the front and Is endeavoring to secure from tho Northwest ern the same Joint rate as accorded to the Burlington in order to compete tn North western territory In this state. Bo warm Is the situation that coal dealers expect that the meeting of Tuesday next will produce a restoration of all the old rates and an agreement whereby Omaha will be on the map In equality with other Missouri river cities In the matter of freight rates. It Is also expected that the discussion growing out of coal rates may lead to an equalization of the entire freight rate situa tion with regard to Nebraska in general and Omaha in particular. Mortality Statistic. The following births and deaths have been repented to the Board of Health dur ing the twenty-four hours ending at noon Tuesday: Births August Nelmeyer, 1907 Martha, boy; Charles Bucher, J15 North Twenty- INTERESTINQ, IF TRUE Yon Can Try It For Tonrnclf and Prove It One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 8.00C grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome 'food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can per form for himself In the following manner: Cut hard boiled eggs Into very small pieces, as It would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets tn a bottle or Jar containing warm water heated to M degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep it at this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time tho egg will be aa completely dlgeeted as It would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment Is that what Btuarfs Iyspeiwla Tablets will do to the egg In the bottle It will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing, else will Vest and Invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Btuurt's Tablets wltlvSH.fety and benefit 11 Its digestion Is weak and the thousands of cures acoomplluhed by their regular dally use are easily explained when It Is under stood that they are composed of vegetabl essences, aseptic , pepsin, diastase and Golden Beal, which mingles with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the over worked stomach a chune to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply Irritate and Inflame the lntestlnea , When enough food Is eaten and promptly dlgeated there will be no constipation, nor In fact will there be disease of any kind, because good dlgustlon means good health In every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dys pepsia. Tablets are world wide and they are 'sold at the moderate price or CO cts. for full slsed . package In every drug store In the Tnited States and Canada, as well as I In Europe.
