the local advertlaers atatements that The
He vii dealing unfairly with It patrons,
lliat It was giving robnten, cutting Its
lutes, and In other ways slandering the
bualnrsa methods of The Bee. A number
of large advertlaera have brought this
matter to the attention of The Bee's man

annoyance. The men who are responsible
for the malicious yarns will be given an
opportunity to prove in court their state
ments, or will have to pay the penalty the

The b&Ms of the suit 1b thus told In
the petition which was filed In the dis
trict court on behalf of The Bee:
"The said plaintiff (The Bee Publishing
company) further alleges that both plain
tiff and defendant herein, as owners and
publishers of suid newspapers, and as part
of their businoft of publlKhing and circu
lating said newxpaperir, are engaged In
securing advertisements from merchants,
manufacturers and dealers in goods and
merchandise, and in such line of business
It Is required and is necessary that uni
form rates of advertleing should be given
and furnished, and that no discrimination
should be made In favor of or against ad
vertising patrons of the same class.
"The said plaintiff further alleges that
In pursuance of and In accordance with
tho conditions applicable to newspaper ad
vertising, as set forth In the last preceding
paragraph, this plaintiff has . given and
furnished to its patrons advertising rates
that were Just, reasonable and .uniform,
without discrimination, discount or rebate,
and by reason of so doing and .rendering
and bringing about remunerating, returns
to its advertising patrons the, said plain
tiff has built a large and valuable adver
tising business for Its newspapers, espe
cially its said Omaha, Dally Bee and the
Omaha Evening Bee, and by reason of
such dealings and returns the said plain
tiff until recently has eujoyed the absolute
confidence of the community In which said
newspapers are circulated, and all adver
tisers, paHt, present and prospective, and
would continue so to do, but for the wrong.
' ful and Injurious acts and doings of the
said defendant herein complained of.
Damaged by Dally- News Solicitors.
"The said plaintiff further alleges that
said Dally News Publishing company, Its
authorised agents and representatives, for
the purpose of Injuring the said advertis
ing business of the said plaintiff, and
wrongfully diverting and securing the ad
vertising patronage of patrons and ad
vertisers in The Omaha Daily Bee and
The Omaha Evening Bee, have falsely,
untruly and greatly to the damage andi
Injury of said plaintiff, represented and
stated that the said plaintiff had discrim
inated among Its. advertising patrons, ' and
In some cases had allowed and given rates
to certain advertisers and patrons below
the regular and uniform rates charged
and required to be paid by Its patrons for
advertisements in said Dally Bee and said
Evening Bee, and by reason of such false
and unfounded statements this said de
fendant through its said authorised repre
sentatives and agents has wrongfully and
unjustly succeeded In preventing certain
patrons and advertisers from furnishing
and giving to plaintiff their advertisements,
greatly to the wrong and damage of said
plaintiff.
"The said plaintiff further alleges that
by reason of the said false representation
of said defendant. Its authorised agents
and representatives concerning Its business
of advertising as aforesaid, the said plain
tiff has been damaged In the sum of 16,000
Wherefore, said plaintiff prays Judgment
against said defendant for said sum of
I&.0W and costs."
