COMPANY
Has an Inning With the Railway
Commission in Reference to
Raising Toll Rates.
The Lincoln Journal Bays that the
application of the Plattsmouth Tele
phone company for leave to increase
its toll rateB in Cass county from 5 to
10 cents a call, making the rates on
an equality with the rates of the Bell
company, which has bought a con
trolling interest in the company, was
heard yesterday afternoon by the
railway commission. Little, if any,
testimony was heard on behalf of the
applicant, but the hearing developed
into a roorback for the Independent
Telephone comany's manager, T. II.
Pollock, of the Plattsmouth company,
who testified in a desultory manner
as to the reason why the company
asked leave to increase rates. His
testimony was cut short when it was
disclosed that the Independent Tele
.. phone system of Nebraska had neg
lected to state when it filed a sched
ule of rates in force January 1, 1907,
that the limit of time for a conversa
tion should be three minutes. The
further disclosure was made that
these rates in force January 1, 1907,
were not filed with the railway com
mission till June 30, 1910, owing to
the magnitude of the work of prepar
ing the schedule. It was further dis
closed that it had been the custom of
the Independents to permit a conver
sation for five minutes. Instructions
sent out by the Independent Traffic
association November 1, aBked agents
to permit a conversation of three
minutes' duration. The railway com
missioners, Clarke, Winnett and
Furse, called attention to this appar
ent change.and contended that it
amounted to a change in rates. The
commission Informed the Plattsmouth
company that if it desired to limit the
time to three minutes It would
amount to a change in rates and the
applicant would have to amend its
application and the commission would
have to give notice to Interested
parties before approving the change.
The Plattsmouth company told the
commission that it would amend Its
application in that respect and that
it would also ask leave to cut out a
5 cent rate given to a farmer's com
pany at Avoca and also a 30 cent per
month rate given to the Avoca com
pany. The commission now has under
consideration the application of the
Plattsmouth company to Increase Its
toll rates within the county of Cass
to an equality with the Bell rates in
the same county.
Bills for the month of November
are based on a three minute service,
while the companies in the associa
tion have no authority to charge for
anything but a five minute service.
Kicks are already on file with the
commission.

The father of a family of half
grown children remarked that he was
thankful his children had reached
the age when they could remind him
of birthdays and anniversaries, and
tell him what to get for their mother.
For the fathers and husbands who
do not know what to get for Christ
mas for their wives, this is not a bad
idea. Children usually know the
weak points in their mother's ward
robe, or what she Is longing for for
the house; but don't wait until the
last minute to find out, and then take
what you can get for lack of time to
send for what your wife wants.
Don't be afraid to buy wearing ap
parel; you may not get what your
wife would, but she will prize what
you select more than anything she
could buy for herself. It is well,
however, to get the privilege of ex
changing if not satisfactory.
Subscriptions to magazines are
always acceptable; also a really good
handbag.
Because Christmas is coming, your
wife will be needing money for her
Christmas shopping. Don't compel
her to have the bill of your Christ
mas present sent to you; give her
what money you can spare for Christ
mas shopping now. Let her shop be-

HERE IN PIMM!)
A ne fraternity, to be known a a
the Perambulator's club, or some
other euphoneous cognomen just as
appropriate, was organized in Platts
mouth recently and put on its initia
tory performance last Monday morn
ing between the time that the morn
ing star arose soui sun up. The club
is gotten up on the theory that what
one loses another'ralns, and is com
posed of fat members who wish to re
duce their 'flesh and lean members,
who wish to increase theirs.
The treatment used to accomplish
this feat is the same for both the fat
and the lean members, and is simple
and easy to take, for any one who has
the nerve, and consists- in springing
from your downy couch at 5 a. m.,
make whatever preliminary prepara
tion you choose for the chase, and
appear promptly at 6 a. m. at the
corner of Third and Main streets and
from that point circle the "horn,"
making the entire distance on foot.
The fat members taking the lead fol
lowed up by the leans who wish to
pick up the weight dropped by their
fleshy brothers. The charter members
of the organization on the fat side
fre Ed. Bratner, R. M. Schlaes and
Verry Thackson. The thins are Chas.
Clark, Clayt Rosencrans and Jean
Brady, who made the round Monday
morning before daylight in Justran'
hour and ten minutes. The next
morning they made the trip in a lit
tle less time and this, Wednesday,
morning having been joined by C. C.
Wescott, T. H. Bates and several
others, they made the trip In Just 30
minutes. The forfeit for the first
member who gets cold feet and backs
out is $2.00. The treatment Is work
ing wonders, Perry, Thackson, who
weighed In on the first morning at
300 pounds, has reduced his weight
several pounds, whllo Clayt Rosen
crans, one of the featherweights, has
picked up about three pounds per
day. All of the other participants
are doing equally as well, Mr. Clark
having to have his waist band in
creased materially. The movement
is growing, and manager Bratner is
now besieged on every side by appli
cations to join the new club.

Will Bo No Contest.
Hon. S. II. Buck, of Berlin, was In
the city last evening conferring with
a number of prominent democrats
and It was decided not to contest the
election of II. II. Bartllng, the newly
elected republican senator, whoso
election was by only eleven major
ity. The papers wcro prepared and
the matter talked over and Mr. Buck
decided that he would not file the
contest, but would permit Mr. Bart
llng to take his seat and do as he had
promised the voters he would. Just
what promise Mr. Buck referred to
remains unsaid, because it Is charged
that Mr. Bartllng made sundry and
dlvera promises and he cannot keep
them all and especially those made In
the matter of county option. Mr.
Buck's friends have been urging him
to make the contest, because they are
confident they could show enough
clerical errors to give the eloctlon to
Mr. Buck. If the contest had been
filed the matter would have had to be
taken up by the state senate and
settled there Nebraska City News.
