LINCOLN. Feb. 25. (Special.) Not con
tent with tha manner In which tha legisla
ture la proceeding with matter of vital
Importance to tha state and fearful that
the session will hare ended Ita labora with
out affording relief demanded by the farm
era of the atate, th members of the legis
lature representing rural districts and
farming Interests, headed ' by Ernst of
Johnaon county, have formed a combina
tion, Thle combination, through Its chief
promoter, today announced that It would
be strong enough to compel the passage of
several tneasuree that are demanded as
necessities by tha farmers and stockmen,
and that from thlf time until the adjourn
ment of the legislature It would have Its
hands In affairs to the end that good legls
tlon would be enacted. One special object
of tha combine will be to secure legislation
which will result In lower freight rates.
The Commercial club of Lincoln has
turned over to the farmer combination the
use of 'Its quarters for their meetings and
the Commercial club rooms will be the
headquarters of the combination. ' Monday
evening haa been aet for the first meeting,
and other Interests that will work with the
farmer have been Invited to be present
and become a part of the combination.
Concurrent with the authoritative an
nouncement of thia organisation cornea
the rumor, not yet verified, that the rall
roada and bridge contractors. Irrigation
men and others have joined to combat any
prospective legislation affecting their sev
eral interests. Should thla rumor be true,
the next week of this legislature will
how It.
Tha chief promoters of the farmers' com
bine deny emphatically that the organisa
tion Is being perfected to hurt any corpo
ration or to demand any . legislation that
will work a- hardship on any corporation.
-It will stand atriotly for fair play to the
greatest number.
Statemeat of Parwoses.
, Representative Brnet thla afternoon mad
thla statement for The Bee:
', "We are perfecting an organisation of
the farmers of the legislature and those
wna are Interested aa we are. We have
become tired, of the way things are going
and ahall do our utmost to secure legisla
tion that haa been demanded by our con
stituents and to which they are certainly
entitled. I. am' not prepared to say Just
how much strength we will be able to mus
ter, but I am sure we have sufficient
strength to secure the legislation we de
mand. In 'fact, w showed our strength
several days ago waen we killed a bill In
which we were not In the least Interested.
Probably we should not have done that,
but we just wanted to show soma people
what we could do when we got together on
a measure.
"Heretofore the farmers of the' east and
the farmers of the west have not under
stood each other, consequently we have not
worked together, but at cross purposes.
Now we are together. Each knows what
the other wanta and we will work from now
on in union. Our constituents are demand
ing railroad legislation and don't you think
for a minute but what we will give It to
them. The fear of some that this legisla
ture will not enact some laws for the bene-
fit of shippers Is groundless, for I know we
win be able to pass a relief measure. An
other thing we are Interested In, of course,
l?1 'elevators. - There are some other things
we want and we Intend to get them, toov
Fair Play for AIL
'"But I want to be understood distinctly
that we are not going to enact any measure
that, will be unjust. We will give the cor
porations fair play, but we will give to the
taxpayers fair play also. That Is why we
are organised. We have been Invited to
use the Commercial club rooms, and we
shall hold our first meeting probably Mon
day night. We Intend to see there Is no
more dilly-dallying In this session, but that
some good legislation Is enacted."
The perfection of such an organisation
has been under way for several days, but
so quietly haa the work been done that
scarcely any one not on the Inside of the
situation knew of It. Behind It all shows
through a master hand of an organiser.
The real strength of the organisation will
not be known before Monday night, when
the first meeting wfU'be held.
Representative Davis of Buffalo county,
a member of the committee which reported
the commodity freight bill, takes Issue with
M. F, Harrington's views of the bill as
published in the fusion organ at Omaha,
. In the interview given to the Omaha pub
lication Harrington said the bill Is un
constitutional, because 1 allows one rail
road to charge mora than another road1 for
the same distance.
Darts Replies to Harrtaa-toa.
Mr. Davis gave this statement this after
noon In which he emphatically disagrees
with Harrington:
v viuj .'t'l'irrot.vii n luunn 10 ine
, law comes from the railroads and Harring
ton. Neither seems to want the law to be
parsed. If the law Is unconstitutional why
should the roads fight It? Are they so
anxious to be regulated that they are
afraid the legislature will pass an Invalid
law and thereby fall to regulate them? The
point made against the law by Mr. Har
rington is not made In good faith; being
( lawyer he certainly knows that In the
maximum rate case derided by the supreme
court of the United Htates It was expressly
held thut the rate must he sufficiently high
and-remunerative to allow the roads to
enjoy a return on the capital Invested. The
i
NOT FOR BEST FARM
In the atate.
"I saw so much In the papers about the
wonderful cures effected by Pyramid Pile
Cure,, 1 determined to give It a trial.
I bought frum my druggist one. fifty
cent box and used it aa directed, and
by the-time I had used the last 'pyra
mid I was entirely cured; In four days
after I began to use the 'pyramids' all
Inflammation was gune. I was perfectly
easy all the time, the expensive discharge
stopped at onoe, and stools became easy
and gentle.
"I was unable to get my own firewood
for four months, snd half th time when I
could walk at all I had te walk halt bent.
1 used many pile remedies, salves and
ointments, all to no effect until 1 used
one fifty rent box of Pyramid Pile Cure
and was cured.'
"I would not be afflicted as I was four
months ago for the beat farm In the state
of Arkansas. I can give proof and refer
ence of the wonderful cure to all who are
afflicted as I was. Please publish my letter
.hat 1 may advise the tinicted." W. E.
YVullls. Plggot. Ark., Box 2Q.
The experience of Mr. Wallls ie that of
thousands of others who suffer for years
with the moHt painful forms of hemorr
hoids, or piles, and after trvlns every-
(thing they hear of, give up sll hope of a
Yure and look for temporary relief only.
f'o all such, a little book published by
Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., brings
glad Udr I, as It tells all about the Muse
and cure of plica snd Is sent free for
Vie asking.
mnds have different smounts Invested snd
esrh Is therefore allowed to charge a rate
reasonably compensatory to Itself, based
on Its capital stork, bonds, equipment and
cost of service, and not based on the cap
ital stock, bonds, equipment snd cost of
service of some other road. Besides this,
the rosds csnnot complain because of dis
crimination In rates made by the law for
the reason that the roads have themselves
made the discrimination by putting In
force the present rates. The strength of
the proposed law lies In the fact that It
accepts the classlflcstlons of freight ship
ments as msde by experts, the roads them
selves; these classifications are presumed
to be lawful and the proposed bill assumes
them to be equitable. In any event the
roads cannot complain of them. The fusion-
1st politician can be trusted to assist the
roads to fight this bill, because it takes
away one of his paramount issues; but
the people will support the bill because
It gives relief, and In my Judgmenjt does
approximate justice between the public and
the roads."

The somewhat celebrated case of M. If.
Carman, administrator of the estate of
J. B. Oooch, la being tried In the district
court of Pawnee county at Pawnee City
this week. J. B. Gooch, a farmer of this
county, lost his life by going through a

tion engine on July 28, 1901. The adminis
trator, for the heirs, brought suit against
the county In the sum of ts.ooo for the life
of Mr. Gooch. claiming that the county
was negligent In keeping Its bridge In
proper repair. The county contends the de
ceased did not take the proper precautions
in crossing the bridge with his heavy en
gine, hence claims negligence. The case
came on for trial In the Johnaon county
district court and was taken to Pawnee
county -on a change of venue. There a
verdict was rendered against the county
for the full amount. It was appealed to
the supreme .court, where It was remanded
back to Pawnee county for retrial. Many

ance. Including Mrs. Gooch, wife of the
deceased. The outcome is looked for with
Interest.

COLUMBUS, Neb.. Feb. 25. (Special Tel
egramsThe expected came today In the
way of high water. At about 10 this morn
ing a huge gorge formed In the Loup river
about nine miles west of here and the
Spalding branch of the Union Pacific was
flooded with water for a distance of two
miles. At about I o'clock a telephone mes
sage was received here stating that the
gorge had broken and that the water was
heading this way at a rapid rate. Shortly
after 4 o'clock the flood came and both
sides of the Union Pacific main line were
vast fields of heavy floating Ice. The large
steel bridge over the Loup stood the strain,
but a smaller wooden bridge about half a
mile this side' of the river gave away and
three spans went out. The main line is
blocked tonight and trains are being held
here.
The large wagon bridge Just south of town
Inst the entire north approach and many
farmers are caught here who cannot get
home for several days. The farmhouse of
Adolf Berger, one mile west of town, was
torn from Its foundations and badly dam
aged. The family had sought safety on
higher ground. Mr. Berger lost several
hogs and some calves, besides all his grain,
hay, etc.
The last train over the Burlington ar
rived here at 1 o'clock and It is reported
that the Burlington bridge is so badly dam
aged that It cannot be used for several
da vs. The passenger train from Lincoln
will be held tonight at Bellwood.
The flood Is beginning to subside and It Is
believed the worst has passed.
Gorsre Form In a" In Bloe.
BEATRICE. Neb., Feb. 25. (Special Tele
gram.) The Ice In the Blue river began to
go out today because of the continued warm
weather. An ice gorge has formed south
of town and It la feared much damage will
result unless the situation changes soon.
The river has been rising all day and In
dian creek Is nearly overflowing Its banks,
while the water in Bear creek east of town
Is receding. Part of the Union Pacific
across Bear creek has been carried away.
Trafflo on the line between here and Man
hattan Is blocked for the present. As the
Burlington and Rock Island bridges a,re In
close proximity to the damaged structure
forces of men are engaged In dynamiting
the ice gorge In that vicinity.
Platte Low at Fremont.
FREMONT, Neb., Feb. 26. (Special.)
The Platte river at this point Is quite low.
There la very little water In the north chan
nel and huge blocks of Ice on the sandbars.
The ice appears pretty solid. The small
volume of water In the north channel Is
undoubtedly due to the fascines recently
put in along the north bank.
High Water at Papllllon.
PAPU.LION, Neb., Feb. 26. (Special.)
The high temperature of the past few days
has melted the snow and as a result the
Paplo creek 1 Is on a rampage. Portal, Is
under water nnd it Is feared that the Ice
will do considerable damage to railroad and
wagon bridges. The lowlands surrounding
Papllllon are one sheet of water and it Is
thought tiiat this land will not be worth
much for farming this spring.
Nemaha is Bank Fall.
TEC1MSEH, Neb., Feb. 26. (Special.)
The Nemaha river' and tributary streams
have been running bankfull the lat twenty-four
hours, the outcome of the melting
of so much snow. The Ice has gone out

water hap backed onto the lowlands.
OBJECTS TO BRING LIBERATED
Wi
Prisoner In Penitentiary
Mkes the Place.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. 25. (Special.) In the Ne
braska state penitentiary there Is a pris
oner whose time expires March 24, but who
has made application to be allowed to re
main longer. The heroine of this Incident
is Mrs. .Worsbaker, sentenced for seven
years irom Dakota county for snooting.
When the announcement was made to her
today that she had fifteen months' good
time to her credit and that she would be
released March 24, the woman objected seri
ously to leaving the eatabllshment.
'I shall refuse to leave." she said. "I
don't want to go, and if there Is no way I
can stay here without having committed
another crime I shall certainly do some
thing that will take sway my good time."
It was later discovered that Mrs. Wors-
baker was writing a book and that she
wanted to complete this before leaving the
prison.
Again has Secretary Dobson of the State
Board of Irrigation trained an assistant
state engineer to have a corporation swoop
down upon the office and cart away the
aforesaid assistant, just at a time when
Mr. Dobson was preparing to take things
easy and allow the assltant to do the work.
The offending party is II. G. Leavltt, the
sugar beet magnate and Irrigation pro
moter, and the party who has been lntlced
away by an offer of a higher salary and
greater opportunities is Charles Green, who
has been assistant state engineer for only
a few months. This makes the fifth young
man who, .while sssitant to Mr. Dobson,
has been called to higher and better places.
The United States government secured the
other four and every last one of them has
made good and, according to Mr. Dobson,
young Mr. Green also will make good. His
position is that of chief engineer of the
Culbertson canal in the west end of the
state, and with Mr. Leavltt he left In a
private car this afternoon for his new place.
George Rates of the engineering depart
ment of the university, from whence, by
the way, came the other assistants lost by
Mr. Dobson, haa been appointed to fill the
vacancy.

Oa&g Costs Too filscb
When the price paid is tbe mother's
health and happiness. The father
doesn't realize as he romps with the
child what years of wifely suffering
must be set against the baby's laughter.
Chronic invalidism is a high pnee to
pay for the painful joy of maternity, yet
it is at such a cost that many a woman
becomes a mother. Such a price is too
much because it is more than nature asks.
By the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription maternity is made practically
painless, and a quick, convalesence is
assured in almost every case.
