LOWER CORN RATES.
3ralaMat
Though the general managers of
the Iowa railroads have declined to
grant reduced rates for com, or even
place an emergency rate for the month
of March, the Iowa board of railroad
commissioners is still making an active
fight for some concession.
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

case will be heard soon. Doggett was

but owing to svmnathy for his family
the case was dismissed.

The motion was denied and the appeal
of Win. Stull dismissed. The super

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.

Washington special: The chances of

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

of Mr. Evans, however, were so strong
that he could not be turned down in
favor of the Nebraska candidate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fstthfta; a Tax oa Graves.
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.
