The temporary Injunction Issued by the supreme court some months ago against the members of the Nebraska grain dealers' association was made perpetual by the court except to these defendants, against whom the pro ceedings were ordered dismissed: Ilolmqulst Grain company, W.

The injunction prevents the grain dealers from continuing their organl' zatlon with tho alleged object of con trolling the price to be paid for grain. Tbe action was dismissed against the defendants named because they had not been propcny notified of the time and place of taking depositions.

Atwell, a Missouri Pacific conductor between Nebraska City and Weeping Water, Is at the company headquarters In Atch ison today. Mr. Atwell was a brake man on the old Central Branch, 27 years ago, when W. F. Downs was general superintendent, and ran be tween Atchison and Watervllle, mak ing a round trip dally. The length of the run was exactly two hundred miles, and he received as pay the sum of $2 10 per trip. For the same ser vice today, a brakeman, If he made that mileage, would receive $4 20, or $1(10 a month, providing the train ran Sundays. When Mr. Atwell was drawing $2.10 a day, his conductor was getting $100 a month. A conductor's pay would now be over $200."
