Washington Sept 23 Spec

a dozen other Nebraskans prom
inently identified with the jaation

will participate in a conference
in Chicago October 16 called for
the purpose of devising ways and
means for bringing about the
nomination of Senator La Fol
lette for the presidency An
nouncement to this effect was
made today by W L Ilauser the
manager of progressive headquar
ters in this city La Follettes
managers are particularly anx
ious to make a good showing in
the primaries next April They
figure that if they can capture
delegates to the national conven
tion instructed for La Follette un
along At the present time the
campaign is being sustained by
private subscription from a small
group of the senators friends
As the campaign progresses the
financial burden is becoming
heavier and those invited to the
Chicago conference probably will
be asked to work out a plan
which will put the campaign on a
sound financial basis
The progressive managers here
make no secret of the fact that
they are counting on Governor
Aldrich and Representative Nor
ris to deprive President Taft of
a single Nebraska delegate to the
national convention Mr Ilauser
today informed the Journal cor
respondent that he is receiving
most encouraging reports from
Nebraska and that he is so con
fident of victory there that he is

I The Railroads Cannot Agree I
Tho Burlington and Rock Island i Pedro lines

fact tliat the Ogden and Salt

only closed to them but they
have awakened to the fact that
this gateway has been locked and
the key thrown away As the

submitted to the inevitable and
has given notice that all of its

to remark that the matter has
situation now stands by reason not been finally disposed of
of a ruling of the Interstate Com
merce commission neither road
can sell through western tickets
to points west of Denver and
give continuous passage
None of the Union Pacific Mil
waukee or Northwestern officials
here will claim responsibility for
the new order of tilings which is
admitted to be the shrewdest
move made on the railroad check
er board in many a year They
throw the responsibility upon the
Interstate Commerce commission
contending that it was a move
that tliis tribunal made upon its
own volition All concede that
the Northwestern and Milwaukee
have become the beneficiaries as
they are enabled to run their
through cars to the coast cm the
trains of the Union Pacific the
Southern Pacific and the San
The origin of the order of the
Ilarriman lines closing the Ogden
and Salt Lake gateway to the
Burlington and Rock Island came
about in this way
About one and one half years
ago the Interstate Commerce Com
mission ordered the Southern Pa
cific the Western Pacific and the
San Pedro lines to reduce their
fares from Ogden and Salt Lake
City to San Francisco and Los
Angeles to 2358 and 25 respec
tively The rate of 2358 is bas
ed en 3 cents per mile while the
rate to Los Angeles is somewhat
liigher the commission predicating
the 25 rate on the fact that the
country traversed by the San
Pedro line was sparsely settled
and entitled to somewhat higher
rates than those allowed to the
Southern Pacific When the

Western Pacific opened its line
from Ogden to San Francisco it
was obliged to meet the rate es
tablished by the commission for
the Southern Pacific
The through fares from the Mis
souri river to California were not
affected by the order of the com
mission and remained as hereto
fore 50 for first and 10 for
second class and 90 for a nine
months round trip ticket
The through fares have always
been divided on percentages de
rived from the local fares of the
lines to and from Ogden and Salt
Lake City That is to say the IT
ion Pacific fare from Omaha to
Ogden and Salt Lake City is
2940 and the Southern Pacific
fare from the two Utah towns to
San Francisco prior to the reduc
tion made by the commission 30
Therefore the through fare was
divided practically on a basis of
50 and 50 per cent
When the reduced fare ordered
by the commission took effect the
Burlington and Rock Island insisl
ed on dividing on the basis of the
new rates taking advantage so to
speak of the lines west of Ogden
and Salt Lake City to increase
their own proportions This
would not in any wise benefit the
public but would add from 3
to 4 per ticket to their revenue
on every passenger routed to the
coast Omaha Bee

ART IN ICE
Wonderful Palace That Was Built by
Czarina Anne of Russia
The use of ice for architectural pur
poses is an art that has been carried
to a high state of perfection in north
ern countries and some almost incred
ible feats have been accomplished in
this curious branch of industry
Probably the most remarkable build
ing constructed wholly of ice was the
palace built on the Neva by Czarina
Anne of Russia in 1739 The first at
tempt to construct this building was
unsuccessful as the slabs of ice were
too thin and the building collapsed in
the first thaw Subsequently large
blocks of ice were cut and squared
with great care and laid on one an
other by skillful masons who cement
ed the joints with water which imme
diately froze The building when com
pleted was fifty six feet long seven
teen and a half broad and twenty one
high It was of but one story The
facade contained a door surmounted
by an ornamental pediment and six
windows the frames and panes of
which were all of ice An elaborate
balustrade adorned with statues ran
along the top of the facade and an
other balustrade surrounded the build
ing at the level of the ground The side
entrances to the inclosure were flanked
with pillars supporting urns the lat
ter containing orange trees whose
branches leaves and flowers were all
of ice Hollow pyramids of ice on each
side of the building contained lights
by night The grounds were further
adorned with a life size figure of an
elephant with his mahout on his back
A stream of water was thrown from
the elephants trunk by day and a
flame of naphtha by night
A tent of ice contained a hot bath
in which persons actually bathed
There were also several cannons and
mortars of ice which were loaded with
bullets of ice and iron and discharged
The interior of the building was com
pletely furnished with tables chairs
statues looking glasses a clock a com
plete tea service etc all made of ice

Buying a Dog
Buying a dog is not so easy as it
looks there is so much faking A
good Irish terrier for instance should
have a stiff wiry coat a pronounced
red color a long narrow head small
eyes and ears which hang down The
ears of a bull terrier an Aberdeen
terrier or a Yorkshire terrier should
stick up But be careful that the wily
dealer has not produced this effect
with cardboard A bulldog should
have a shovel shaped mouth with the
under jaw protruding upward and a
wide chest There are one or two
things to look out for in buying a dog
Some dealers try to palm off an old
dog as a young one by scraping his
yellow teeth which show signs of age
and painting his gray muzzle Bright
eyes are often produced by a smear
of vaseline and a cold nose produced
by Stockholm tar But you can detect
the presence of these aids by smell-
