The wrestlin? match at the Puls

them. Very respectfully yours,

Press dispatches state that the first
hearing on the application of the rail
load companies for an advance in
freight rates in the west will be held
at Chicago before Commissioner
Daniels of the interstate commerce
commission, February 15 to 18. It is
intimated that the hearing will be ex
tended in the month of May, as many
commodities shipped by frieght are to
be the subject of inquiry. It is sup
posed that most of the hearings will
be held in Chicago.
The Nebraska state railway com
mission, one of many of the western
and intermountain state commissions
organized for the purposeo f resist
ing tin increase of freight rate.--., will
probably take an important part in
this controvery, as it took a leading
part in the Minnesota rate case in the
supreme court of the United States.

Powell, statistician of the Nebraska
railway ccmm:si?on, will atcnJ the

Northwestern Railroad company, also
hai the distinction of having been
chosen chairman of a committee of
five railway attorneys to defend the
application of an increased rate.
Mr. Wettling, not speaking official
ly, is of the opinion that the hear

18 will be merely preliminary, a meet
in? at which the railroad.? will make
an outline of their showing. The var

How to Cure a Lagnppe Cough.
Mrs. Louis Keezer and her 6-year-cld
daughter, Viola, visited Frank
Conan, self-confessed gunman, at the
police station yesterday. While Mrs.
Keezer and Conan talked the little
girl made brief excursions about the
jail, hastening back to her mother's
side frequently. Chief of Police Ma
Icne made strenuous and successful
efforts to permit Mrs. Keezer to keep
the little girl after the arrest of Con
an and his confederates. The chief
believes that Mrs. Keezer has made
mistakes and has been misled, but he
does not 'think that she realized the
true character of the men and thinks
that she should be given a chance to
start life over with her" little girl.
Probation Officer Hornberger objected
