The following is the text of a letter recently sent by C. L. Davidson, chair man of the board, to the presidents and general managers of all Iowa lines. "The situation in Iowa is very seri ous, especially in relation to the corn crop of last year. After careful inves tigation I am convinced that not more than 25 per cent of the corn crop of 1896 can be saved beyond the coining of warm weather and that whatever is done with it, shipping, etc, must be done before that time. In addition to this condition of things the number, of stock animals in Iowa to be fed is not sufficient to consume beyond a small percentage of this grain, in amount not, I think, to exceed 20 per cent of the corn crop. t - "If I am correct in the estimates made this leaves at least 50 per cent of the crop on hand, which must be ship ped within say, five weeks, or be a loss to the farmers and the freight a loss to the transportation companies. With this situation confronting the people and the transportation lines, I write to suggest and urge the necessity of such an emergency rate for, say, the month of March, as will carry this corn to a market, and also to ask that you give the subject that early and earnest con sideration which the .extreme gravity of the situation demands." The officials of the Iowa lines, like those of the Nebraska roads, contend that emergency rates would not help tbe corn growers one whit They cite many cases where reduced .rates have been put in before to help the farmers and that such cuts have always been followed by corresponding falls in the market, the grain market never fail ing to take tip the slack. They insist, therefore, that they simply lose the amount they redueethe rates and the farmer gains nothing. Despite tho fact that three great corn-growing states. Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, have united in beseeching the railroads to grant lower rates in order to move some of the great corn crop of the past season, none of the roads in these states have yet come down in their rates. Men who watch railroad affairs closely say there is no probability of any reduction this spring, even though the three govern ors of the three boards of transporta tion should continue to pound the rail roads on the back. Assistant General Freight Agent Wood of the Union Pa cific was down to Lincoln during the first part of the week and had a con ference with the Nebraska state board of transportation, but no radical changes came out of that meeting. Grand Island Soldiers' Home. The citizens of Grand Island havo set forth a few additional facts in an other petition to the legislature re garding the soldiers' home. Statements which have been published purporting to be a comparison of the death rate of the two homes are misleading. The petitioners set forth that "the hospital at the Grand Island home has the ca pacity of thirty patients, while the Milford home has no hospital accom modations, resulting in all the invalid soldiers being sent to the Grand Island home, while those sent to the Milford home were able-bodied.' Many of the inmates of the Grand Island home are, in a fact, sent direct to the hospital.' The petitioners further call attention to the fact that the sanitary conditions of the home are good, as evidenced by the fact that during all the years of existence of the home there have been but 102 deaths and but one of this number has died of a fever. During the first nine months but two deaths occurred, one from consumption and me from paralysis. Shipping Damp Corn. The Feavcy elevator company, oper ating in various Nebraska towns, re cently tried an experiment in shipping damp corn that surprised the firm. Fifteen cars of damp ( o .n were shipped through to Galveston, and when it arrived there was reported as drv and in a good merchantable condition. This was attributed to the long haul through a dry and windy country. If true this is important to shippers Nebraska Honored bv Woodmen. Dr. E. llolovtchincr returned last week from St Louis, where he at tended the national convention of the Woodmen of the World. The Ne braska delegates were emphatically ic it during the convention. Not onlv did they succeed in retaining the head quarters of the order in Omaha hut this state secured a Haltering portion of the important offices of the supreme body. Arrested for Hoot longing. York dispatch: Isaac I. Doggctt of Thayer county was again arrested and brought here and lodged in the county jail by Sheriff I'ricc on the charge of selling whiskey illegally. Ten counts have leen filed against him and the case will be heard soon. Doggett was arrested last fall for the same offense, but owing to svmnathy for his family the case was dismissed. Xew Trial Xot Granted. Auburn dispatch: The hearing on the motion for a new trial in the Stull will case was had before Judge Ram sey of l'lattsmouth. Messrs. Flans burg and Uurnhard argued the motion' at length on behalf of the contestants. The motion was denied and the appeal of Win. Stull dismissed. The super sedes bond was fixed at 10,000. He Escaped Aaaaasiaatloa. By a.lucky chance Milt Doty, a stock man, living on the Niobrara river, four miles south of Butte, escaped a violent death. The family of Mr. Doty is on a visit in Iowa and after doing his chores Doty attended a prayer meeting a few miles from home. On his return about midnight he found his bed riddled with buckshot and bullets and from the broken windows it was evident a gang of rufTans had attempted to murder him by shooting thiough the windows of his bedroom to where they supposed he was sleeping. Hte Chaace Goes Gloaosiaa-. Washington special: The chances of H. C. Russell of Nebraska for securing the commissionership of pensions dis appeared in the gloaming with the an nouncement that President McKinley had tendered that office to H. Clay Evans of Tennessee. Mr. Russell had his eye on this position for some little timer and his mends had done consid erable work in his behalf. The claims of Mr. Evans, however, were so strong that he could not be turned down in favor of the Nebraska candidate. Cornea to tbo 6preaae Coart. An answer was filed with the clerk of the supreme court last week in the case of the. Tecnmseh national bank, plaintiff in error, against Anna B. Saunders. This is one of the six cases in which a motion is made for a re hearing before the supreme court on the ground that a hate decision of the court was not valid because the bench comprised bat three members when legally it should have held five mem bers, including Judges Kirkpatrick and Neville. MUST AGREE ON MEN. THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT UNDERTAKE TO DECIDE. Seaator Tharatoa aa Kekraaka eaa Ceagr Meat nettle asiCaa dldatMferrakUe rotary Mertoa 44 tke : awaltloau Washington special to the Lincoln Journal: Judge strode called upoa President McKinley and had ' pro tracted interview with him relative to the appointment of Ed R. Sixer aa mar shal. Judge Strode informed the pres ident that Mr. Sizer had the strongest and most comprehensive indorsements for the position from the state, includ ing all the principal leaders in republi can politics, and that as a staunch republican and organizer in the republican-ranks he was entitled to tho position. He recalled to Major McKia ley's recollection the tunes when he, the president, was in Lincoln, and when Mr. Sizer organized the parades. He stated to him that the best judg ment of republicans in the state demanded Mr. Sixer's selection. The president asked Judge Strode whether Senator Thurston was in fa vor of Mr. Sizer. The judge replied that he believed he was not and that there had been no consultation what ever by the Nebraska delegation at which an interchange of views could be had. President McKinley then said that such a meeting should be held, and that the delegation should come together and agree upon candidates for federal positions. He intimated to Judge Strode that he did not propose to decide between rival candidates, and that he desired that delegations should settle all differences between themselves befor names were sent to the White house for his approval. Representative Mercer was not pres ent with Judge Strode at his interview with the president He is thoroughly in touch with the representative from the First district upon the subject and will stand with him in demanding that appointments from the home towns of representatives shall not be made without consultation with those who had been directly elected by the people and to represent the wishes of the re publican party. Koto, the Nebraska representatives have their war paint on and propose to make the best fight they can to secure the recognition which they feel they deserve. The entire Nebraska congressional delegation is now in the city, Repre sentatives Stark, Maxwell and Suther land having completed by their arrival the list of members from our state. the Exrosrriox bux. One of the matters with which the Nebraska delegation will be obliged to wrestle in the coming session is the appropriation for the Trans-Mississippi exposition, which failed of passage by reason of the president's veto of the sundry civil bilL It took very earnest work on the part of all the representa tives from the state in the house to secure recognition of this enterprise, and it will take vigorous work in the coming session to duplicate the results heretofore secured. It is not yet cer tain that the appropriation bills will be taken up until after the tariff has passed. There is talk of continuing the appropriations by resolution until congress meets in regular session in December. The earnest work of Rep resentative Mercer, ably assisted by Representative Haincr, who was a member of the appropriations com mittee, and of Judge Strode and Repre sentative Andrews, warded off opposi tion and paved the way for national recognition of the Trans-Mississippi exposition. There is a growing feel ing in congress against appropriations for enterprises of this character and it is not likely that further appropria tions will be made in years to come. Apropos of this, ex-Secretary Morton, who is violently opposed to the appro priation of government funds for "shows," threatens to apply to the courts for an injunction against the expenditure by the state of Nebraska of any appropriation for the Trans Mississippi exposition. He claims that such appropriations are in the nature of taxation of the many for the benefit of the few. Mr. Morton has written an article for a leading magazine in which he denounces, among other con gressional extravagances, as he terms them, the appropriations made for the world's fair,' and the Atlantic, Nash ville and Trans-Mississippi expositions. Bepreseatatlve Schraam Diet. C. W. Schram, representative from Dixon county, died at his home near Ponca on the 13th. He was a promi nent Mason and was greatly esteemed by all who knew him. C. W. Sehram was born at Peekskill, N. Y., January 1, 1854. His mother died the following year and his father some years later. He was reared an orphan boy among strangers, acquir ing his education in the long winter evenings by studying such books as happened to fall within his reach. He came to Nebraska in 1871 and herded cattle on the Platte bottoms for one year. He came to Dixon county the following year, and has resided there since, teaching school during the first several years up to 1890, since which nearly his whole time has been devoted to farming. He has been a supervisor since 1S91 and had been renominated for election last fall, bnt having re ceived the nomination at tho populist convention for representative, he de clined to be a candidate for supervisor. Later on in the fall the democrats met in convention and also took him up as their candidate. The tow mill of the Nebraska binder twine company at Fremont is shut down, owing to the heavy roads. The product is still in- the fields and the ground is so soft that it cannot be hauled. Chaagea la Nebraska Banks. Comptroller Eckels has been notified of changes in officials of national banks hi Nebraska as follows: Merchants national, Nebraska City, H. N. Shewcll, vice-president; R. O.

Kapidly Fayiar Off Mortfacaa. Nearly every month of the past year snows a decrease in tne amount ol farm mortgages in York county. In February last mortgages to the amount of 813,617 were released and tbe new ones amounted to only 931,519. York county raised an enormous crop last year and farmers are rapidly paying on: their mortgages. The new city jail at South Auburn was occupied for the first time on Sat. urday bast, the lodger being one Wm.

Clarkson of Nebraska k now journeying through the southern departments in his official capacity aa commander-in-chief of the G. A.

Aews devotes eral columns to his reception and en tertainment in that city, which was evidently a typical incident of southern hospitality. Friends of Bob Kneebs, the veteran) horseman, who is now serving a asa tenceina German prison for "ring ing,7' are circulating a subseriptioa paper in Hartingfon to help him pay. his fine. GENERAL THAYER ILL. aa Attack of tke Gria aad Takoa totke attat Washington dispatch: Ex-Governor Thayer was taken ill yesterday at the Hotel Emrich with an attack of the grip. He immediately sent for Senator Allen to come to see him, and after sonsultatioBi with physicians it was decided to remove the governor to Providence hospital where he could be better cared for than at a hotel, where there was no one to minister to him. The physicians state that while there is no cause for alarm in his condition, Governor Thayer will need good care cr else a tendency to bronchial fever may asert itself. Senator Allen at once wired the fact to the governor's son, John M. Thayer, jr., at Beatrice, Neb., and George D. Thayer at Cripple Creek, Colo., telling them that he would send word if a change for the worse occurred. The senator said that he thought the governor would pull through aU right, and that there was no cause for alarm among his friends. He will see that the governor is well provided for until he recovers suffi ciently to permit him to travel. All tho Torrey taw. Senator Allen has written the fol lowing letter to Frank D. Eager, chief clerk of the Nebraska house of repre sentatives: I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of the resolu tions recently adopted by the Nebraska house of representatives respecting the passage of a bankrupt law by congress, and in rely to say that I am decidedly I M Jjli 1 t...l..1,- in lavor ox a jmuciuus vuiuuuiv umum- rupt law, but I cannot support such act .containing, involuntary features, which will permit a creditor to ruth lessly push his debtor into bankruptcy and dissipate his property without affording him a full and fair opportu nity to handle his own estate and realize the full value of his property for the payment of his debts. I am quite confident that the legislature of Nebraska does not desire me to support an act like the Torrey act, drawn al together in the interest of the credi tors of the country, and whose 'chief support comes from the Creditors' association. A careful examination of the Torrey bill will show it to be vicious throughout Very trulv yours. William V. Allkk. Talae of Broadj'a Services. Lincoln dispatch: The jury in the case of Attorney Jefferson H. Broady against ex-State Treasurer John K. Hill handed in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and fixed the amount due at $483.33, with interest amounting to &17. Broady-sued for W.000. alleged to be a balance due him from nill for services rendered in the defense of the case of the state asrainst the ex-treas urer for 5236,000. The plaintiff claimed that his services in prosecuting the case in the, district and supreme courts were of the value of $10,000, and that he had as yet received but $2,000. The plaintiff also alleged that he defended Hill in the impeachment proceedings brought by the state senate to oust him from the office of state treasurer. In both of these cases Mr. Broady ob tained a verdict favorable to his client. Hill admitted the rendering of the ser vices, but alleged that the sum of $2,000 paid by him was a reasonable fee. Judge Hastings in instructing the jury gave it great scope in its decision, but the instructions seemed to favor the plaintiff. PopaUst Get Good Seats. Washington dispatch: In drawing for seats the populists in the house were infinitely more successful than the republicans, so far as Nebraska is concerned. Representative Green's was among the first fifty names called and he selected a place to the extreme left of the chamber, as did Messrs. Sutherland and Stark. Judge Max well lost three or four good seats by not taking advantage of his opportu nity, but finally settled down in front of the speaker's desk in the same sec tion with his colleagues. Dave Mer cer's proverbial luck seemed to fail him on this occasion, his name not being called until far down the list, then he selected a seat on the far right His associate, Judge Strode, also chose a seat on this side near tbe member 'from the Second. Death la a Cora Bin. The 13-year-old son of Peter Burgees met death in a strange manner on the cattle ranch of J. K. Baker, seven miles northwest of Shelton. A power feed-grinder is operated in a basement under a large granary containing sev eral thousand bushels of shelled corn and is so arranged that the corn feeds itself into the grinder. Mr. Burgess, who had charge of the mill, noticed something wrong with the feeder, the corn failing to come down in the hop per as it should. Upon putting his hand up into the spout to learn the cause of the trouble, it came in contact with a shoe. Realizing that some one had fallen into the bin, help was pro cured, and with an axe the side of the bin was broken in and young Burgess body was found with life extinct. District Coart at Alnswortli. Ainsvvorth dispatch: District court for Brown countv convened todav. with Judge Kinkaid on the bench, ihere is a large docket, but little of importance. The ease of Flora Waukcr against Link Rife was in court one year ago, Rife winning then: but a new trial was granted on the ground that the decision was not given according to the testi mony. Rife is not present, no one knowing just where he is. The case will proceed without him. Cock Cooat j'a Bla; Fire. Rock county's court house burned to the ground on the 16th. All books and most of the furniture was saved. The fire was started from a cook stove in the rooms occupied by Sheriff O. E. Smith: Loss about $7,000; insurance. $3,000. A Washington dispatch says: Sen ator Allen introduced a bill today to amend "An act to Authorize and Encourage the Holding of a Trans Mississippi and International Exposi tion at Omaha in 1898:' but the intro duction did not stop there, for by the time the clerk had exausted the Allen bills, eighty-four measures had been proposed by the senior senator from Nebraska. Senator Thurston followed this up with fifty-five bills, all reintro ductions from last session. Dave Mer cer secured an early numbering for some twenty-fonr bills introduced late Monday afternoon, the exposition bill. taking Aa 4. There is a fairly prosperous resident of Arlington, says the News, who would give a goodly portion of his earthly goods, to know just who he is. He lost his parents when near 7 years old and was taken to an orphans' home. While there he forgot his name and picked up another one, and has no idea how near he came to the original. He thi"k he had some brothers and sisters, bnt he is not altogether clear on that point His life prior to the time he entered the orphans home is nearly a blank. Money and time have been spent to find out something about himself, but thus far without any success. Waat tho Heme Saataiaed. The G. A. R. and W. R.

The members of the Paris munici pal council have little difficulty in meeting any deficit in their budget They are threatened with one now, and consequently have resolved to put a fresh tax on funerals. Strictly speaking, of course, this will, take the form of enhanced fees to be paid by the public as there are no pri vate undertakers in the French capi tal. According to the tariff which has been in vogue during tho pres ent regime, the price of a freehold grave, two square yards in size, is $70, but there is a progressive scale, o that a third yard costs t'200 extra and the fourth the same amount again, while the fifth and sixth are charged $309 each, and evory yard above a sixth costs no less than f40GL The municipality propose to incroase othe prico of the first two yards to $100, and to remodol tho scale of charges in other ways, so that it is estimated there will be an increased revenue of $127,600 per annum.
