I THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , MAY 25. 1887. BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS jTcbraska Railway Managers Heply to the Charges of Discrimination , THE JACKSON PRELIMINARY. { Trouble i t Nebraska City A Crowd of Tramps Didn't Count I'o- lice News About tlio Town. ImOMTHK HUB'S UXCOI.X HtniKAU. ] The meeting much advertised to take Jilacu between the railway commission nml the management of Nebraska roads came olT on schedule time nt the oflice of the commission yesterday. Among those in attendance from the roads wore Gen eral Manager George W. Holdrcgu of thu * Jliirlington , General Freight Accnt Thomas Miller of the .same road , Thomas L. Klmbiill andl' . 1' . Shulby of the Union I'ncillc , and Kent C. Morchouso of the Fre mont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley. The Missouri L'acllie was unrepresented. 1'resi'lcnl I. M. Kay-moml of the board of trade , J. J. Imhoir , Charles II. Gere , EH rinmmer and others were present repre senting the question In which Lincoln was interested and Messrs. Mason , Agor and Husohow , secretaries of the commis sion ; a number of the state ollicers and reporters composed the remainder of the ttudlencc. Hon. 1. M. Raymond opened the ball l > y .slating what Lincoln , as a city , de manded and in Ins judgment was entitled to. He cited the discriminations that ex isted , the rates that mitigated against Lincoln wholesalers and Lincoln people in a secondary way , and believed the time had come when the city should bo granted the Missouri river rate , or if not that , the rate should be no greater than the Omaha rate plus payment for the few extra miles at a proportionate rate per mile for the whole distance from Chicago. The dilllctilty in the rate seemed to bo that an additional local rate was added to the terough Chicago rate toOmr.ha , to represent the added distance to Lincoln. The relative distances from Chicago and St. Louis to Omaha and Lincoln were disciihSutl , mid the inequality of rates and juileago was dwelt upon by Mr. Raymond. The question of placing Lincoln on equal terms with Omaha , by making the sum of the in and out rates equal ior the two places , was not objected to by Mr. Ray mend , but his opinion remained that the time had come which should give Lincoln n Missouri river rato. Judge Mason called upon Thomas Jj. Kimball and that oflicial responded that ho did not know that any complaint hud been made against his road and consequently there was no occasion for remarks upon his part. Judge Mason in sisted that the Union Pacifie was an im portant factor in the making of rates , but Mr. Kimball loaned back In his chair with an air of unconcern. Judge Mason returned to the attack and asked Mr. Kimball if it was not a fact that the Union Pacific , in conjunction with n number of trunk lines in Iowa , did not practically establish the rates to Ne braska points and compel other roads to follow this schedule. To this Mr. Kim ball only responded with a laugh , and it was noticeable that Judge Mason did not receive the answer with the greatest pa tience , and upon the shining bald head of the judge there burned for several min utes n bright red spot. . Mr. Holdrcgo was the next speaker And ho made a very full and fair state- men of his side of the case and evinced a willingness to discuss the question in all fairness so far as Lincoln was concerned nnd answer the questions propounded to him. In nil of Mr. Holdrego's remarks , ho sheltered the company in saying what they might do , under the assertion that it would bo done as nearly as possiblo. Mr , Hnldrcgo thought that by the 1st of July , when , as he alleged , the Doano law would cease to exist , the Burlington road would bo able to giro Lincoln nn in and out rate equal with a like rate in Omaha ; that is. that the sum of the in nd out rate should bo pic eniuo for Liu- coin as tlio sum of the in and out rate tor Omaha. In the course of his remarks Mr. Holdroge called the attention of the Lincoln people and the commission that } io had other people to satisfy nnd other nngors to molify. To illustrate this ho road from a list of jobbers in Omaha their statement handed to his com pany , that if Lincoln was given the name iii rate as Omaha , that they as jobbers and shippers would not fihip over and patronize the road accord ing such a rate. Mr. ImholV said that what was wanted was that Lincoln bo given an equal show with Omaha. Mr. C. 11. Gere said , in his judgment , it would bo bettor for all parties If Lin coln was given the same in rate as Omaha , the distance from St. Louis favor ing such a rate for Lincolnand the added distance from Chicago to Lincoln boinc RO inconsiderable as to make no material difl'erence against the city. Ho regarded mich a solution us the most easily to be attained. Judge Mason , as one of the secretaries &f the commission , said what was wanted was a dotlnito answer. Discriminations were known to exist on the tarifl' sheets that wrought : i positive injury. Ho want ed it done peacefully if it could , and if not it would bo war , and the question of discriminating in rates would bo taken either before the intor-stato commerce commission or in the circuit court of the United States. After an adjournment for the noon hour tlio intuiting again assembled. Mr. C. K. Morohouso was called upon , but ho cited the fact that no complaint had boon made against his road ; further , ho stated that ho had no authority in the matter of long rates , as his road was a local one. lie was , nowovor , willing to co-operate for a settlement of the question. Mr. T. L. Kimball suld there wore the three ways of settlement : Through the commission , through the C9iirts and by a general understanding arrived at by the diil'eront roads. He thought that within three weeks the roads interested could meet and examine and eottlo upon their course , and eivu their answer to thu com mission of what they would bo willing to do. do.Mr. Mr. Holdrcgo and Mr. Morohouso thought this a good plan , ana the meet ing thereupon adjourned to moot and re ceive the answer of the roads and upon what course they would pursue upon the 10th day of June , ut 10 a. m. , at the oltlco the commission. JACKSOS'9 HtEUMINAUV. Jackson the murderer of Gleason in the penitentiary , was brought into Judge I'.trKor's court yesterday and given a preliminary hearing. The evidence was largely as heretofore reported and the ( mention of the killing was admitted t ; jy the defense , .obviating the necessity of railing a number of witnesses to combo- rate that fact. The most important tes timony was that ot another convict , who hinted that Gleftson and Jnokson had trouble prior to the killing wtum both were in the stone yards. County Attor- nov Stearns will lilo an information airiiinit Jackson for murder in the st degree when the preliminary irs reach the district court , and L. C. Burr , who defendswill undoubtedly plead that the assault was provoked and the ease was ono ot cold versus molten metal. TltOUULK AT NKHUASKA CITV. Late Monday evening the governor re- reka joivod a communication from Nebraska ? ity , reciting the ravages ot. hydropho- , -.44 bta In two different precincts in Oleo ' county. U will bo remembered that last fall serious trouble wasantlclnutctl and a eood deal of stock was bitten'nnd killed from the results of a mad dog raid In that county. From the tenor of the com munication It Is evident that prompt ac tion should be taken at once in that vi cinity , and if the communication , which conies from a reliable source , bears out the facts , a deplorable state of afl'airs ex ists. Following is the letter received by the governor. NKiiUAhKA. CITV. Neb. , Slay 21,1SS7. To Ills Excellency , Governor J. M. Thayer , Lincoln , Neb. Honored Sir : For buveral weeks last itnst several ( los < < . with nil thu symptoms of hydrophobia , raised ail havoc niiiom ; cattle , huge , and oven children , on Kock nnd Camp creeks , In Otoo cotmly. Jlr. ( ! . A. Davis , on Camp creek , lost two chil dren. Ono ( 'lrl was dltten by a dog and an other Klrl was bitten by tier brother. All are In their craves. Hut how many more will follow , Ootl knows. Many neighbors keep their dogs chained and their children from .school. Other fanners are careless nnd talco their chances. Nobody pecms to have any authority to prevent further calamities but your excellency and the state veterinary stir- Ri'on , under your direction. IMea u ntve this matter your attention at the otrllest possible convenience , auit oblige. Yours very re spectfully. l'init : : SCHMH/ . near ( lovcrnor : Allow me to corroborate the above statement of I'eter SehmitJr. . , who addresses : you In the naino and by the request of several hundred cltl/ens ot Otoo countr. Truly yours , Dit. F. IINMII. { : : Major IHriKiy , accompanied by Dr. Nissel , of Hastings county. Neb. , were in the city yesterday morning to investigate , roue * : COUIIT. There was n round-up of thirteen tramps before the police court with the usual la/.incss and iiulitt'erunce .stamped on their faces. After they were arraigned and entered the usual plea of not guilty and not vagrants , each man arose , saluted the judge , nnd pleaclcd his own case. The hrst started out with the asser tion that he was a railroad man in search of work , and from Plitttsmouth. This was a cue for the remainder of the rank nnd file , every mother's son of them claiming to hail from I'hiUsiiioulli with a unanimity that looked as though the city down on the river was being depopu lated. Gnu of them in his 7.enl to hail from I'latlsmouth .said that he left that place nnd was on his way home to Indiana , totally unmindful of Iho geographical muddle that he placed him self in. There were a good many cases of bodily ailments. Ono had a bandaged hand , another was a consumntivu and had left home and friends in Pittsburg for his health. The judge , however , was used to thn crowd and amidst a general uprising ; and loud proll'ers to leave the city in live minutes time , tun judge lined them f 20 each and costs. Five minutes later a despondent gang were they , us with shovels in hand they started forth to work for the municipality. Four plain drunks were disposed ot , and the colored man who the nij > lit before nninscd liiiu- self bv beating members of his family while in a drunken state wa. " given $10 and costs and committed. IN niSTIUCT COUItT. Yesterday morning's proceedings in district court were meagre. In the case of the traveling man Chapman , against his house for violation of contract the jury gave Chapman $708.00 damages , which is a verdict that traveling men es pecially will peruse with interest. In the case of Field against the F. E. & M. V. railway for trespass upon premises pre vious to condemnation and sale , a verdict was given the plaintitl' for $157.41. The case of Elizabeth Snelling agaitut Annie A. Vest was dismissed without prejudice. The case of l ars llasmusson against Sa rah Bollield was tried by the couit. a jury in the case being waived. The court , upon a hearing of the case , awarded the defendant 100 , the value of horse taken under attacnmentand subsequently recov ered , and 5c damages for detention of paoporty. Cure of Kidney Disonse. NoimiEAST. EUIE Co. , PA. , Nov. 35,1885. I first used AI.LCOCK'S Poitoi's PI.AS- TKKS for a severe cold in my chest , some three years ago , and the relief was so prompt nnd decided that 1 concluded to further test them for n kidney trouble which 1 had had for many years ; during this time my back ached almost con stantly. I had to pass water very frequently quently , always feeling the bladder did not expel all its contents. I had always to get up In the night several times for this purpose , anJ there was always a red dish sediment that sank to tlio bottom. I had a great pain under the shoulder Wades ; upon rising in the morning I wa ? always tired and unreircsheuiny ; uowcls luring this time were first very loose , then constipated. I bought a dozen ALLCOCK'S Poitoua PLASTKHS , put two low down on my back , two higher up , nnd ono over my bladder and lower part of the stomach. In four weeks I felt bet ter than in years before. The pain in my back completely passed away , and the other troubles were relieved. FUANK STKUTINOEU. Aujtralla In Need or n Doom. J. Handall Brown.tho mind reader and mesmerist , arrived in the city with his wife ycsteeday and is enrouto to M'mnca polls for the summor. Mr. Brown has jus como from Australia.

On th railroads both American and English car are used. Regarding Bishop , Mr. Brown said ho had heard of that gentleman' : troubles. Ho thought Bishop was foolisl to endeavor to circulate them. It was no * the right kind of an advertisement. What Would the World Do without women ? asks the cssaist wh starts out to suy Bomothig now on this oft-treated subject. Of course , the human element of the world would not exist without woman , so the question in gratuitous. It would have boon far moro sensible to ask : What would the world do without the salvation of woman , without a panacea for her physical ills and cure for her peculiar diseases. " In a word , whit would the world do without Dr. Piorco's "Favorite Persoription , " the great remedy for female weakness ? It is indispensable for the ills of woman kind. r The revenue collections of yesterday wore $11,103.10. DRPRICES SPECIAL NATURAL FRUT FLAVORS MOST PERFECT MADE Uwd by the United Btatea Oovernment.
