Traveling men will soon be permitted to
ride freight trains, as of yore, and their
kick to the railway commission will bear
fruit before the formal hearing, which has
been set for December n. General Solic
itor J, E. Kelby of the Burlington was at
Lincoln today in the matter of the com
plaint and whep the board set the hearing
for the December date, he said before that
time the Burlington would put back the
old rule and the commercial men might
ride freights before if they desired The
recent rule of the road prohibiting passen
ger traffic on some of the freights caused a
big protest from the drummers, who were
often compelled to make their towns on
these trains and otherwise would be put
to great delay and much extra expense.
They recently sent to the commission a
formal petition and. embodied in their
complaint an offer to pay $5 a year extra
to the railroad for the privilege of riding
on the desired trains. Now, according to
Mr, Kelby, this will be unnecessary and
if the road does as he says, the protest
will be dropped, for by the time of the
hearing there will be no cause for further
objection. The Illinois Central
has landed its two free baggage cars in
Omaha, laden with exhibits for the Na
tional Corn exposition. They were loaded

route. Omaha Bee.
