(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 36. (Special.) The State
Railway commission is still considering
whether to adopt a schedule of express
rates 15 per rent lower than the rates now
In force, and 10 per rent higher than speci
fied' In the Blbley 36 per cent reduction
bill, passed by the recent legislature. It
Is probable the commission shortly will I
order the 15 per cent reduction, though !
this cannot be stated for a fact. If the ;
! commission does this It will be based upon
the testimony given by the representatives j
of the express companies. The evidence i
given showed the express companies on
their Nebraska business could not make a
reasonable return on their business If the
rates were reduced 26 per cent. The com
mission had at hand no evidence to contro
vert that the the express agente. The
express companies will accept the 15 per
cent reduction without going to court
over the matter, while they Intimated they
would fight the 25 per cent reduction.
Should the commission make an order for
a 16 per cent reduction, It will still have the
right to make a further reduction later.
To prepare for a second reduction the com
mission will secure Information which It
has not now. It has prepared a blank
for reports to be filed by the express com
panies and this blank calls for practically
everything. Including the money taken In
at each station In the state, for not only
state but Interstate business. With such
Information, which Is the same as furn
ished the Texas commission, the Nebraska
commission believes It will be In a po
sition to act Intelligently In the matter. The
Sibley law provides express companies shall
charge 76 per cent of the rates In effect
January 1, providing the commission does
not Increase the rate. The wording of this
law, members of the commission believe,
shows that the legislature Itself was not
sure that tt 25 per cent reduction would
be Just.
Representative Sibley, however, Is very
anxious for the commission to compel the"
express companies to give the law a trial
and he has written a member telling him
not to be made a "sucker" of. The com
mission will do considerable studying be
fore It makes any kind of an order.
Hearing on Cream Hate.
The State Railway commission is anxious
1 to Interest the people In the hearing August
1 6 regarding the rale on cream. The com
mission has given out yie following state
ment.:
Are Nebraska dairymen and farmers re
ceiving a fair price for their cream? This
Is a question that Is borne In UKn the
minds of (hi; members of the Nebraska
Railway commission with growing emphasis
as their Investigation of a proposed increase
in transpoi union rales on cream and milk
proceeds from day to day.
The linpmtonce of ihe dairy Industry can
best be appreciated by figuring what a Vary
Slight Inference In the price of butter lat
means to the producers as a class. A short
time aao a lej reier.tative of the railway
commission visited the Omaha creameries
and Incidentally learned that the price paid
there that day was 6 cents per pound less
than In Council Bluffs, Just across the
river. This Information was published in
the stat? papeiR, with the result that the
Nebraska price was raised 2 cents per pound
Immediately, and has shown a much
stronger tendency In all sections of the
tate aver since.
Two cents l an Insignificant sum con
sidered alone, but when applied to the
cream production of a great dairy stale
like Nebraska, -ft suggests possibilities of
which few pfople hove dreamed. The
Omaha and Lincoln creameries alone han
dle S.tXO.nOo pounds of cream monthly, of
which at least one-third, or 2.6c;6.tW nounda
Is butter fat. A 2-cent per pound increase
on volume of business would mean a
a meeting win ne neid bv the railway
commission, at Its offices In Lincoln, on
August 6 for the purpose of considering the

Jndsre Estrlle at Beatrice.
BEATRICE, Neb.. July 26.-(8pec1al.)-Teaterdaj-
was Beatrice day at the Chau

and the program the most Interesting of
any day since the opening. Hon. Charles
Landls of Indiana gave his "Message of
an Optimist," and he was followed by
Judg Lee Estelle of Omaha, who spoke
on Juvenile courts. He called attention to
the child labor law In this state, and re
ferred to the coal mines of Pennsylvania,
where the condition of the children who
work In the coal breakers Is appalling,
sickening to one not hardened by custom
to the sight of children being disfigured
body and soul that their lives might be
coined Into corporation dividends. Judge
Estelle's remarks relating to Juvenile courts
were Interesting and made a profound Im
pression. He told many pathetic stories
from his experience as Judge of the Juvenile
court In Omaha. He declared that a child
who could be Interested In something good
and drawn away from evil Influences, could
be saved. He would prefer to see the pun
ishment visited upon the criminally neg
ligent parents. The speaker In the even
ing was Robert Seeds, and he exposed the
mistakes of life In his usual pleasing man
ner. Today was Gage county day. and
Mr. Seeds delivered an Interesting address

LaFollette on Railroads.
HASTINGS. Neb., July 28.-(Speclal Tele
gram. )-Senator LaFollette addressed a
large audience at the Chautauqua this
afternoon on the regulation of railroads
and gigantic corporations. He declared
that all present national railroad legislation
Is Ineffective because It does not provide
for determining the actual value of railroad
property. Senator LaFollette's argument
was that before there can be proper regula
tion or taxation of railroads and other
corporations there must be means of ascer
taining the actual value of such property.
The price of products and of railroad rates,
he said, should be fixed so that they would
give a fair return on the actual Inventmenf
and no more. Senator LaFollette was
listened to by 7,000 people. Judge Llndsey
of Denver will lecture at the Chautauqua
tomorrow- afternoon on "The Story of

MEAT OH CEREALS
A question of Interest to All Careful
Persona.
Arguments on food are Interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on
the ground that they do not like to fel
that life has been taken to feed them, nor
do they fancy the thought of eating dead
meat.
On the other hand, toe? great consump
tion of partly cooked, starchy oats and
wheat or white bread, pastry, etc., pro
duces serious bowel troubles, because the
bowel digestive organs. (Wiere starch Is
digested), are overtaxed and the food fer
ments, producing gas, and microbes gen
erate In the decayed , food, frequently
bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential to
the human body. Its best form Is shown
in the food "Grape-Nuts." where the
starch is changed Into a form of sugar
during the process of manufacture. In
this way, the required food Is presented
to the system In a prn-dlgested fofm and
is 'mmedlately made Into blood and
tissue, without taxing the dlgestlvo
organs.
A remarkable result In nourishment la
obtained; the person using Orepe-Nuts
gains quickly in physical and mental
strength. Why In mental T Because the
food contains delicate particles of Phos
phate of Potash obtained from the grains,
and this unites with the albumen of all
fond and the combination la what nature
uses to rebuild worn out cells In the
brain. This Is a scientific fact that can
