LOW DEMURRAGE
RATES ARE CAUSE
OF CAR SHORTAGE
Seventy shippers and Railroad Men
Attend Meeting Before Rail
way Board.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1. J. W. Short
hill, representing an association of
local elevators in Nebraska, declared
while testifying before the state rail
way commission at a car-shortage
hearing today that the low demurrage
lates are to blame for much of the
congestion in freight movements.
Mr. Shorthill gave his opinion in a
very K)Mtive manner that the demur
lage rates ought to be increased so
as to discourage the holding of cars
by shippers and receivers of freight.
He blamed th-shortage to some ex
tent on the terminal elevators at cen
tral markets which, he said, hold car
gi.es of grain for higher prices with
out unloading from cars. He asserted
that the Missouri Pacific has done
nothing along this line for several
years.
About seventy shippers and railroad
jnin were present at the hearing. The
foimer were given the first oppor
tunity to be heard. The railroad men
will present their opinions later. One
-f the points of defense of the car
riers will be that grain cars are held
i:p at teiminal points by the big ele
vators for the advance in prices.
Representatives of farmers' ele
vators and equity exchanges were
iimunir those present. The hearing
was continued.

THE ATTRACTION OF
A FINE NEW STETSON
YOU will wait many a
season before you find
a more attractive hat than
this the feature hat of the
superb line of Fall and
Winter Stetsons.
A quality hat for
"quality folks," as the old
time Southern darkey used
to say and one that looks
surprisingly, weir on most
men. In fact every one of
the Stetsons is a fine hat a
bit finer than usual this Fall.
Come try them on.

'In Old Kentucky," with its jockey
riding heroine, its mint-julip loving
colonel, its piccaninny brass band, its
double quartet and its thrilling melo
dramatic scenes will be seen at the
Parmele Theatre on Tuesday, Novem
ber 14th.
The production is a spectacular one,
and the elaborate presenation delights
the audience.
The play should play to big business
here for it is always popular and the
presentation this year is particularly
satisfactory.
It was just twenty years ago that
"In Old Kentucky" was first seen.
.Many thousands of theatre-goers have
seen it since then and many thous
ands of dollars have been made by it
for its owners and it author, Charles
T. Dazey.
Many persons prominent in theatri
cal life too have been associated with
it, Including Julia Arthur (Mrs. U.
P. Cheney), the original Barbara IIol-
ton; Louis James, the original Col
onel Doolittle; Frank Losee, and Mar
ion Elmore, his wife, who was the first
Madge to swing the chasm and save
her lover's life, and George Edeson,
father of Robert Edeson.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Dovey & Son have moved over into
the old Duke store temporarily, and

he is having the old Boeek store plas

Eddie Lewis, a child of 10 years,

be argued this week. We hope this
will be settled speedily and all taxes

Mr. John Cuming?, our county
Treasurer, is the agent of an elegant
durible and forcible pump, so thoy
say. He has offered to give the county
or.e provided the commissioners will
have a well dug. The well is being
dug and the pump is going down and
the hose will be put on, and they'll
squirt water all over the court house,
drown the judge, maybe, wet down
the jury, soften the lawyers, sprinkle
the sheriff, and let it trickle over Cal
Moore and John Jennings. Bill Wells
Won't have any water in his at all.
Thomas Jackson, a practical coal
miner, who has been prospecting for
coal in the vicinity of Omaha for the
last year or two, has syuck a. vein of
ccal eighteen inches thick, and a vein
of fire clay six feet thick, seven miles
below Plattsmouth. lie is being as
sisted by three other men. The coal
is said to be in paying quantity, and
in quality it is between the Wyoming
and Iowa coals. Mr. Jackson intends
to bring a load of it to Omaha next
week for inspection. Bee.
Only hope you've found it, Mr.
Thomas Jackson, "practical coal
miner," but we've been all through
that coal outfit and business with high
hopes nee, and got disappointed.

Now Lookout.
When a cold hangs on as often hap
pens, or when you have hardly gotten
over one cold before you contract an
other, look out, for you are liable to
contract some very serious disease.
This succession of colds weakens the
system and lowers the vitality so that
you are much more liable to contract
chionic catarrh, pneumonia or con
sumption. Cure your cold while you
can. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has a great reputation. It is relied
upon by thousands cf people and
never disappoints them. Try it. It
only costs a quarter. Obtainable everywhere.

H.-.r.ns's ' Sky Limit" Campaign.
It is generaby admitted that the K;
publit an national oniu;iitie of Mn:.
under the loader? hip of Mark II:i:ina.
tirst made "the roof thn limit" in spetid
ing money. The funds used to e!e. t
Mi Kinley have been r-sthnated at from
Jsl.'CMi.t'co to T.ixMU'ini. They prob
ably were nearer the last figure. How
ever, memoranda left by Cornelius N.
lipss. who was treasurer of the oom
mittee. indicate that the funds passing
oiiieially through the coinmil tee's
hands aggregated only ?ri..ut:ii(i. Ac
cording to the same data, the fund
employed to re-elect MeKitdey in l'.H'd
was "a trifle below" :?::.!iiiM,i:o.
The Iiepubliean national committer
usually disposes of the most funds.
But some Democrat ie natiimal cotntuit
tees have been superb spenders. In
32 not less than Jv2,'00.:oo, perhaps
a great deal more, was used in elect
ing Cleveland, all of whose lin es were
engineered by men who were adepts in
raising and generous in contributing
poJiUeal funds.
There are no authoritative data on
Democratic expenditures except fort lie
campaigns of IImlS and 1012. w hen tho
expenses of the committee approximat
ed J? 1 ,000, fOi for e:n h year.
(Jeorgo B. Cortelyeti, who was chair
man, is authority for the statement
that the Bepublican national commit
tee disposed of a littio more than 2.-
ifm.OOO to elect Koosevclt in 1001. The
election of 1 'resident Taft in 100S cost
nearly as much.
The Bill Is Big.
Campaign statements often are most
Interest itig for w hat they do not show.
None can very well include every item
of expense either of a candidate or a
committee. Many thousands of dollars
are employed very often without tin?
official knowledge of either. Then it is
easy to juggle sucli statements, for
they are based on statistics.
National politics so far his year
has been rather inexpensive as com
pared with the preliminaries of 1012.
It is safe to predict that between three
and four millions, and possibly a great
deal more, will bo disposed of in aid
ing the free and ttntrammeled voters
to select a chief magistrate.
But. as stated, the money employed
directly on behalf of the presidential
candidates is a bagatelle as compared
with-the total cost of "election year."
The general election of 101-1 a imn
I'residential year involved an expense
in New York state alone of more than
$1,000,000. Candidates and their spon
soring committees expended $1,000,009.
while the expense of preparing for ar.d
holding the election cost the taxpayers
directlj the startling sum of 2,500,000.
