ING RESUMED AT CHICAGO.

Proceedings Rebating to Peavey
at Kansas City and Omaha Is
the Charge.
Chicago, Sept. 18. Members of tho
Interstate commerce commission re
opened the old Peavey t .vator caso
after listening to a long dispute be
tween the various lawyers represent
ing the parties to the suit relative to a
supposed agreement for a continu
ance. Tho dispute ended abruptly after
President A. B. Stlckney of the Chi
cago Great Western railway declared

against any further delay in the hear
ing. President Stlckney Is one of the
petitioners for the reopening of the
caso, which Involves the Union Pacific
Railroad company, the Peavey Elevat
or company and the Transmlsslsslppl
Elevator company. One of the chief
allegations lu tho case is that the rail
road company granted rebates to the
Peavey Elevator company and gave It
a monopoly of the grain business
along tho railroad. Besides the Chi
cago Great Western railroad,, tho pe
titioners are tho Burlington and the
Santa Fe railroads. The rebating is
said to hnve been done at Omaha and
Kansas City.
Mr. Heft dinger of the Peavey Ele
vator company testified that tho Pea
voy elevator at Omaha during the year
had received 9,500,000 bushels of
grain. 01 this amount, he declared
that 7,500,000 bushels came from thc
Union Pnclfic railroad and the remain
der from Iowa points. He said tho
company received about 30 per cent or
the shipments of tho Union Pacific
system. On tho Union Pacific grain
his company, he said', received l
cents for handling, but when asked
the amount received for taking care
of the remaining 2,000,000 bushels, ad-
J mltted a profit, but declined to state
now much it wa;
When asked If lie did not think that
tho lVt-cont contract mode It easier

times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
