KICKING ON DEMURRAGE!
Waat is Sauce for the Goosa Should be
" "
Sauce far the Gander.'
Shippers, the lumber and m',i
and others who ship in merchandise
ty the car lots, are up in arms at the
policy that is manifested hy tin rail
roads iti charging demurrage when
the cars an: not emptied strictly on
j the dot. It seems that the railroads,
j have organized a hureau. the especial
J duty of which is to have charge of the i
demurrage charges. Allot the roads I
are into the comhinat ion and as the)
officers of the demurrage bureau are
compensated for their work in propor
tion to the charges that they collect
the charge is rigidly imposed There
is no discretionary power left w ith the I
local station agent and if he fails to
lect the charges lie must make the
sum good out of his own pocket. The
purpose of referring the matter to a
common bureau is very apparent as
being to the best interests of the
roads. There can be no more leniency
displaced by one agent than another
and for t his reason no road will have
an undue advantage at a competing j
point, of course the demurrage bur-j
eau is created ny me railroads, oi me
railroads and tor the lailn-ads. It is
merely a wheel within a wheel where
by they can shirk a bit more responsi
bility upon t In- shoulders of someone
that wil stand between them and the
public. Hut aside from being expen
sive and annoy in to the shippers it
lays undue weight upon the shoulders
of the local agents. It may seem a bit
queer that when a shipper is com
pelled to wait six weeks for a car of
coal or lumber that is consigned and
loaded not iJuu miles away that he
shall bo compelled to get such a hurry
on him when the car arrives.

Honey and Tar as a throat and lung

Todd Arrested at Denver to be!

Tried in 0m3ha.
FORMER RESIDENT OF PLATTSMOUTH
Just How Close Relation Prisoner Bears to
Richards and Comstock Remains to
be Shown in Court.
The following is from the Omaha
Pee of this mornim.', and has reference
to a former Plattsmout h citizen:
"A. I. Todd is under arrest at Ien
ver under a warrant sworn out by the
Fnited States authorities of Omaha
charyiny him with subordination of
perjury in securing fraudulent land
tilings from old soldiers and others
within the Siade ranch enclosure of
approximately juo.nuo acres in Sheri
dan and ( berry counties, Nebraska,
which is owned and controlled by the
Partlttt Pichards and W. Coin
stock land and cattle syndicate. The
secret service ayents of tie- govern
ment under the direction of Special
Ayent Wheeler have been on the trail
of Todd for some weeks, but he has
managed to elude arrest until Monday,
when he was located and a i rested at
Denver, and now awaits the action of
the federal authorities there for his
removal to Nebraska.
Todd will be arraigned before I'nited
States Commissioner Anderson of
Omaha, who issued the warrant for
his arrest. Incriminating letters were
found in Todd's possession that show
the collusion of prominent land hold
ers, indicating Todd was acting for
them. Just how far Part let t Pichards
and W. (I. Comstock may be connected
with the matter remains to be .shown.
Todd is a former Nebraskan, his
home beintf at Plattsmouth, and he is
j rc ,,arded as one of the smoothest of
!the land ayents of land grabbers in the
country. He will be brought to Omaha
Wednesday or Friday, or as soon as
the necessary extradition papers can
be procured.
He is charged with almost identi
cally the same offenses for which

The Art of Forgetting.
Plessed h: the man who can forget
as well as remember. Forgiveness is
j ony forgiveness when it forgets, h
flip bntelirt i buried the handle
the hatchet is buried the handle
j should not stick out. The meanest of
men are t hose w ho hoard up vengeance,
; who cherish malice. With some there
I is an outburst of indignation and
that's the end. With others there is
a slow, consuming wrath that eats out
their hearts. They have only memory
of wrongs done them or fancied. They
cannot forget. Many persons with
whiter skins than the red man of the
j forest imitate him in this regard.
They m;.-s the sweet tu.-s because they
cherish the bitterness. They ru t d
education in letting y,, j-, place of
o th;i;js u.ean and ma-
. liciou.s. There is p-.ogress material
. arid intellectual because of i'oi gelling.
.There is happiness and joy because of
I loss cf memory. There is also spirit-
ual advancement for t lie same reason,
j No spiritual nature can go forward
that is continually held down by pre
cedent and prejudice. Memory be
I comes to such not wings, but weights.
It clogs and hinders. The soul would
soar, but the past pulls it down to
earth. A great spirit can lav aside
these hindrances, can use only such of
j the past as will help, and thus press
forward. But the average in the
world arc by their very memories
xribbed, cotlined and confined."
