G3AND ISLAND'S LIGHT Cfit-AP Fight Between Municipal and City Plant Does It. Grand Island, Neb., June 28. As the result of an installation of an eled trie lighting plant In connection with the municipally-owned and' operated waterworks the citizens of this city nre enjoying what Is believed to be the cheapest rate for the electric cur rent that exists In the state. When tho city plant was ready for operation It fixed Its rate at 11 cents for the smnllest down to 8 cents for the largest consumption per month, with a minimum of f 1 per month. The private company, first owned by Schenectady Interests and now by Mr. Sunny of Chicago, in order to hold Its business nnd secure n portion of new patronnge, cut Its rates from 8 cents to 4 cents for the lighting of stores, warehouses, Bhops nnd offices to prices ranging from 10 cents to 5 cents per 1,000 wntts for the lighting of resl dences, nnd to CVir cents to 4. cents for power. At a recent meeting of the city council the municipal plant having, according to Expert Account ant Gilchrist, made a profit Inst year of $9,000, reduced Its rate to meet that of the private company. The pri vate company nnnounces another cut, bringing the rate down to 1 cent on ali classes as enumerated above. PACKERS SUBMIT TO RAISE Make No Protest to Rate Increase East of Chicago. Omnha, June 28. Omaha and South Omaha packing Interests are submit ting to last week's raise In rates by the rallronds with a striking quietude when compared to the objections reg istered last May. The May Increase applied to traffic from the Missouri river to Chicago. The newest Increase Is from Chicago to the seaboard and is C centB for 100 pounds on dressed.!, meats, 3 cents on provisions and pack ing house products and' 3 cents also on hogs nnd sheep. But in view of the way the railroads worked the lncrense, absence of pro test here is not so surprising. Tho hends of the pncklng Interests in Chi cago were summoned to New York nnd there told that UiIb increase would result In better service. By this and other arguments, which have not ap peared, the packers were Induced to accept the Increase without demur. It was expected that western dry goods dealers and similar lines would be Induced to abandon their position of stout resistance to a general In crease In freight rates. But up to date the dry goods men and otherB hnve not fallen Into line and have re fused to be placated by the example of the packers. DEMOCRATSTTCOLUMBUS State Club Holds Its First Annual Banquet.

This developed when Judge McSurely called the re porters to hlra. "Boys." said he, "It Is quite useless to guess how the Jury stands. Nobodj fcnows. I don't know myself. I see b one of the papers that the jurymen have been engaged in a fistic en counter. As a matter of fact there was nothing to It. Two Jurors whe are agreed as to the verdict got Intc a friendly argument as to the relative merits of Jeffries and Johnson. This developed into a wrestling Match. II was not serious." Asked how long the Jury might etay out, the judge Bald; "1 want to leave the city with my family next Friday, If they staud sli to Bix at that time, probably I wf., dls charge them, if it Is eleven to one or ten to two something like that I may hold them still longer."
