Anticipate Ratt In Cream nates.
The attorneys for the central creameries,
tponents of the application of the West
ern Traffio association for a higher cream
rate, seem to anticipate that the commis
sion will jrder at Jest a . slight increase
lit' rates' and to be in readiness for a ful
filment ot their prophesy they arep repay
ing to ask for an order to put Into effect
on cream rates the 25 per cent reduction
' provided for In the Sibley law enacted last
jslnter. And In the meantime the attorney
SNjneral has been keeping a pretty close tab
n the evidence to see If there Is anything
In the repeated rumors of a creamery trust.
The Sibley law'provldos that nothing In
the' act shall be construed to reduce any
"special contract rate" for the trans
portation of cream or milk or poultry. The
attorneys for the creameries claim they
are not objecting to any special contract
fate, but are objecting to the rates In gen
eral, ana that cream rates In general

Elmer E. Brown of Harvard called on
Attorney General Thompson this after
noon , to bring him evidence concerning
an alleged unlawful combination between
two lumber dealers In his city the J. H.
Tost Lumber company and B. J. Rice.
Brown claimed these men sold lumber at
exactly the same price and that lumber
dealers In neighboring towns refused to
sell him lumber at all, though he offered
the spot cash. Brown had already writ
ten the attorney general and the latter
referred the case to County Attorney Stlner
of Clay Center, who today wrote the state
legal department that he would Investigate
at once. Brown also claims these men sell
coal as they do lumber and that last
winter John Bain, an Independent coal
denier, could not buy coal from C. B.
Havens at Omaha, though he had been
buying from him for years, because he
sold coal 60 cents cheeper on the ton.
Bain got his coal from Denver, though
others, Brown said, bought of Havens.

May Test Railroad Herger,
It is possible a suit will be Sled In the
supreme court through quo warranto to
oompel a dissolution of the merger of the
Burlington and the Kansas City V Omaha
railroads. C. P. Anderberry, county at
torney of Kearney county, and Gomer
Thomas, county attorney of Harlan county,
called upon Attorney Oeneral Thompson
to see about bringing the suit. These man
say the Burlington got hold of the Kansas
City road about five years ago. They con
tend these were competing lines and the
state constitution prohibits the merger ot
competing or parallel lines. James Kelby
of the Burlington had a talk with the
two officials this afternoon and it seems
to be their desire to get good service, Mr.
Kelby, It Is said. Intimated to the at
torneys that the Burlington will be glad
to whoop up the service If the suit Is not
pushed. -r-

In the matter of publicity the bar ticket

from the two big papers here, while
the bar ticket, which has not announced
yet. Is getting all kinds of advertising
out of the State Journal every day.
Some of the out-of-town people resent
this. They hold the State Journal la try
ing to and Is nullifying the state primary
law. They are saying the lawyers are
doing the same thing and In view of Its
posltlop a few short monfris ago the

Battle of Manila Over Aaaln.
The battle of Manila was fought over and
won again last night by the First regi
ment under command of Colonel Btorch.
The battle occurred near Capital beach,
near here. The people of Lincoln were
terror stricken at the first booming of
the cannon and fled to their homes, while
a very few adventurous spirits appealed
to the State Railway commission for a
six for a quarter fare on the single street
car line to the neighborhood of the battle.
It was reported that many were not in
jured, but as the telegraphers have either
Joined the Insurgents or cut their wires,
It Is almost Impossible to get news from
the front. Commander-in-Chief Sheldon,
with Inspector Oeneral Bills, were out
riding along the lines early In the after
noon, and this may have precipitated the
conflict, as It was Intended to pull It off
only after Capital Beach was full of
people. There were some there, however,
and the reports they bring back are to the
effect that Commander Sheldon and In
spector Bills performed well under fire and
escaped Injury, though neither was In the
first crowd of stragglers to wander into
the city at a late hour. These stragalers
could give no definite news of the fight.
How It started they did not know. One
man and a young woman were rowing on
the lake when the first cannon boomed,
and they said, so a report said, the waters
at once began to seethe and the whole
world became a writhing mass; flames shot
,up but of the lake and the owner of the
pleasure resort at once shot up the price
fo boats because of the spectacular per
formance of the water.
The Second regiment, which is In
camp at ' Epworth park, almost got
sampeded, but Colonel Hartlgan kept
them cowed and comforted with the as
surance that it may not be true. The
regimental headquarters at the F street
park received wig-wag messages, but as
the man who reads the messages was n
sympathy with the striking telegraph
ers they could not be deciphered. A
censor has been put on the press, and
until the official report Is prepared by
Adjutant General Schwars and O. Kd.
by Commander-in-Chief Sheldon It is Im
possible to go Into the details of the bat
tle. '
The men, however, were well fed dur
ing the day, because Colonel , Jenkins
served out the following rations: Thir
teen hundred pounds of beef and 1,000
pounds of bacon, 100 loaves of braad,
200 pounds of beans, 60 pounds of rl-;s.
1,200 pounds of potatoes, 115 pounds of
onions, 100 pounds of coffee, 160 pounds
of sugar and 100 pounds of blackberry
Jam. Canned tomatoes are on the spe
cial list. Tomatoes are allowed as a spe
cial ration that the soldiers may be able
to vary their diet In the vetable line.
No sickness has yet been reported from
any of the camps of the guard, and,
though the number Is less than usual,
the Indications are the encampment will
be a splendid success.
Alleged Swindlers Arrested.
Mell Sharpless and Elmer Johnson, rep
resenting the North American Realty com
pany, with headquarters at Des Moines,
were arrested this morning on complaint
of W. O. Meyers, who charged them with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Meyers told the city authorities that these
two men engaged real estate agents who
were requested to deposit with them $2S
as a starter, to be paid back when the
commission amounted to that much. Then,
Meyers said, a contract was signed which
contained many things. It was the cus
tom, he said, for the general agents to
stir up a fuss with the local agents and
annul the contract and keep the deposit.
Sharplees paid the $25 to Meyers this after
noon and was released from Jail and told
to hunt another town.

Mrs. Clarke Calls at State Honse.
The wife ot Harrison Clarke, the Omaha
Colored man convicted of the murder of
Conductor Flury and sentenced to be
hanged August 30, was at the state house
today for the purpose of Interviewing Gov
ernor Sheldon. The executive was not
present, however, and she tod her story
to Private Secretary Dlmery.
Mrs. Clark wants to know whether or
not the attorney who has been employed to
look after her husband's case Is doing
anything to secure for him. a reprieve,
commutation or pardon. The attorney Is
William H. Crowe of Omaha, and the
woman says that she has paid him $100,
while her mother-in-law has given him
$200.
Mrs. Clarke was Informed that the case
had not been brought to the attention of
the govern ar by the attorney,' and she
stated that she would call to see the
executtve again tomorrow.
What course Attorney Crowe Intends to
pursue Is not known. He is reported to
have stated In Omaha last week that
he would not try the Insanity charge. He
has forty days In which to appjy to the
supreme court for a rehearing and this
tlms expires before the date set for the
execution, and it may be that he intends
to wait until the last day before making
application, hoping thus to obtain delay.

An Industrious Locallty-Where is the fol

of the wives and daughters who stand
over the hot cook' stoves preparing food
for the threshers these days. I know they

the unique sign pinned to the front of
Dunker & Rlsor's tonsorlal parlor Tuesday
afternoon. While Barber Dunker was out
for a moment, J. A. Graver sneaked the
sign In place but that did not prevent It
from being the Immaculate truth so far
as the "warm" part was concerned. It
certainly did thaw some on the surmy side

Editor Mayes' Black Eye The editor of
this paper has been sporting a black eye
and considerable court plaster for a we?k
past and aW sorts of sly glances have been
cast our way, accompanied by complimen
tary remarks. Some were bold enough to
ask the cause of the discoloration, while
others attempted to pretend not to notice
It, thinking perhaps that we J Id not care
to discuss the causes. We had a mlxup with
the family cow and she succeeded In get
ting tn the first blow, which so completely
knocked us out that we had not the heart
to strike back. Rushvllle Standard.
Nature Fake Hall falling from a clear
sky and no rain for four or five minutes
after the cessation of hall was a strange
phenomena at Mason City at about 4
o'clock Monday afternoon of . this week.
Without warning, by either thunder or roar
of wind, the ball commenced, some of
the egg-shaped stones measuring five and
three-quarter Inches In diameter, the long
way, and causing horses tied to posts to
becom frantic. Mr. A. Fonda, county
supervisor and popular candidate for sheriff
on the republican ticket was In Mason
City at the time and says he never saw
nor heard of anything Ilka It and does not
expect to again. II showed as a bruise
on his hand made by a hall stone hitting
him while holding and endeavoring to
pacify a team that was ' making a des
perate effort to break away from the
stones that were pelting them unmercifully.
