"I read In the lien n few dnys ngo , " said a
member of the board of trade yesterday to n
Br.K reporter , "that the freight bureau had
adopted a resolution asking tlio Nebraska del
egation In congress to work for two amend
ments to the Intcr-stato railway law. One of
these amendments was Intended to cxpedlato
action on the part of the Intcr-stato rallwny
commission , and the other was to punish , by
n fine , any consignee who would receive
Roods from a railroad at a figure for trans
portation lower than appeared upon the tar
iff. The announcement pleased tno very
much , and If such an amendment could bo
passed would lead to a reformation which Is
greatly to bo desired. Just think of
it. The roads may bo fined 15-
000 if they discriminate in favor
of ono jobber us against another , but there
is no penalty attached to the offcnso If a
merchant Is a party to their crime. In my
mind , a merchant who \vlll accept an illegal
rate from a railroad , acts hypocritically with
bis brother merchants , is able to give them
unjustifiable competition , gives little of the
benefit ho enjoys to the public , and , in fact.
. is Just as guilty In my opinion us the road
which literally violates the law. That there
arc persons in tins city in whoso favor the
intcr-otato law is violated , while not easily
demonstrated , is nevertheless a fact. There
are merchants hero who arc favored with
under-billing , and others who have both
underbills and passes. There are some of
these merchants inc.in.bdrs of the board of
trade , too. They know also what wo have
established the freight bureau for , and what
that bureau has been doing to have the
intcr-stato commission sit down upon the
discrimination winch the eastern roads are
practicing against Omaha. And yet , tlicso
men do not hesitate to accept these illegal
courtesies , which are unjust all around. 13ut
that is not all. The amendments I spctk of
as adopted by the freight bureau committee ,
were not , I understand , accented with the
preatcst enthusiasm. It was simply adopted ,
but nobody fpoku against it , fearing lest
in doing so it might bo suspected
that mercenary motives might be prompting
the opposition. Well the matter was referred
to the board of directors , and those met a
couple of evening's ago and what do you
suppose the board did 1 Why it , killed the
. amendments. Yes sir , the directors voted
to not recommend them to the Nebraska del
egation. What do you suppose cnubccl such
action ? I'll tell \ou what I think. There
were men in that bo.ird of directors who
were themselves the recipients of underbills
and passes and could not in justice recommend
their own punishment. If such were
not the case , what harm could have resulted
from adopting the proposed amendments.
And yet our board is said to have the inter
ests of the people at heart. The board has
dropped into a comatose condition , and there
BceuiB about as much virility in its manage
ment ns there is in an old rag. For months
it has been pondering over a new system of
membership , and next winter will arrive be
fore anything will be done about the matter ,
at the present rate of progression. Wo
ought to have n live board , n live manage
ment , a live head , but we haven't cither one
or the other. " _
Good-foje , Discrimination.
The followju ? card has been issued by W.
, F. QrifllUs , commissioner of the freight bu
reau of the board of trade , which will bo
readily understood and as greatly appreciated
by all who have suffered from the discrimina
tions which has long obtained against this
' "
city. '
"All lines leading from Chicago to Omaha ,
and thcro making connection with Union
Pacific for interior Nebraska points , will ,
from nnd after March 8 next , base through
rates on sum of the locals.
. "The Chicago & Northwestern railroad has
adopted the same policy , effective on the
. same date , in connection with their Fremont ,
Elkhorn Ac Missouri Valley railroad.
"This ends the war In rates so far as
. ' Qmaha is concerned , and relieves our mer
chants from discriminations heretofore exer
cised against them.1'
Mr. Grlllltts was scon by a Bun reporter
and said that the cliango had been brought
about mainly uy the Union Pacific , which
had insisted in getting its local rales west of
the Missouri on all through shipments. What
effect the change would have upon the
, charge of discrimination made against the
eastern roads and now pending bcforo the in
terstate railway commission , ho could not
toll. Neither was ho able to say how long
tile now order would continue. Ho thought ,
however , it would very likely last until the
rates on the eastern lines were restored.
The following is a full report of the committee -
' mitteo appointed at the jobbers' meeting held
February 14 for the purpose Of securing the
above action :
, Mr. W. V. Morse , President of the Job
bers' meeting : The committee appointed by
you at the meeting of the jobbers February
14 , beg leave to submit the following : Wo
bavo called upon the traffic managers of the
railroads doing business out of Omaha ex
plained fully the condition of affairs now ex
isting and the disadvantages that Omaha is
laboring under ( that is , having the rates
made from eastern points to points west of
us , the same as from Omaha ) , with the fol
lowing result : The Chicago ft Northwes
tern and Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Val
ley railroads to-day Issued the following cir
cular :
To Agents in Illinois and Wisconsin , South
of Fort I Inward The deductions named in
G. F. D. No. felXi , and subsequent issues ,
Bamo to bo made from billing rates to and
trom points on the Fremont , Klkhorn ft
Missouri Valley and Chicago , St. Paul , Min
neapolis & Omaha roads , in Nebraska , and
U. & M. road , in Nebraska , will bo cancelled
on and after March S , ISbS. To obtain the
rates to above named territoryyou will way
bill to Missouri Valley , lihiir or Sioux City ,
at ttio current rates in force to those points.

This places Omaha on an equality with all
cities cast of us. The sum of tno two locals
is all wo asked and wo have encouragement
from the other roads that they will do like
wise. In this connection wo wisli to return
our thanks to the management of the
Chicago & Northwestern and Fro-
inont , Klkhorn & Missouri Valley
railroads for the prompt and satis
factory manner in which they have adjusted
the discrimination existing in favor of east
ern cities against Omaha , and for bringing
this matter to a successful termination wo
are probably more indebted to Mr. W. N.
Uabcock , general agent of tlio Chicago &
Noithwcstcrn and Fremont , Klkhorn ft Mis
souri Valley railroads , than to anyone else.
Our belief is that the other roads will view
this matter in the same spirit of fairness
towards Omaha as is displayed by these
roads and that this is but the beginning of
tha end of railroad discrimination against
our city , ItMjiccUully submitted ,

furtherance of Justice to. suppress ,
the chief had .C. H. Long , the
Union Pacific' wntchtnap 'atthe ( fdot of
Douglas street , and the man whom lt was
( mid had found Uca's , pockctbook , brought
bcforo him. Ho was subjected to a careful
mid thorough examination , which resulted in
bringing out several new nnd Important facts.
Ho said that as near a < < ho could recollect it
was about a month since , when , ono mora
ine , he , together with Assistant Foreman
Urown , of Gray's lumber yard , were engaged
In loading a wagon with lumber from a pile
near the river bank. They had torn the pile
down to about the height of llvo feet , wneu
Urown reached Into the crack between two
layers of boards , and pulling out a large Hus-
sian leather pockctbook , exclaimed :
"See hero , Lontr. see what I have found. "
Long stepped to him , and the two proceeded
to examine their find , but according to Long
nothing was found In it but some papers and
several letters. They read one or two of
these latter , and if ho remembered aright ,
they were cither letters of Introduction or
rccommcndAtlon , and that they were ad
dressed to 11. T. Clarkethodn > ggstthlseity. !
Urown turned the poukctbook and contents
over to Long , who. when ho reached the
olMcc , burned the letters nnd papers , and
placed the wallet on a chair near the stove
to dry , it being soaking wet from the snow.
IJoth men had discovered Kca's name upon
ha Inside llap of the book , but paid no at-
.cntlon to it , and made no Inquiries about
ho man. A day or two later Long
nvo. the book to James Scully , son
f the new bridge contractor. Scully kept
ho book n few days , until in fact called upon
'or ' It by the police , when lie turned it over.
Long also identified tlio fragments of the
"otter picked up by Horrignn as being In the
tame writing as that of the letters he dc-
itroycd. Tlio blooa-stained planks ho had
ilso examined , but of course expressed no
beery as to how they became so. Ho
.honght the ground round about the board
llo on tho. moiningofthe finding of the
; ook was scuffed and disheveled , us if by a
umber of feet , but ho was not sure upon
point. Dismissing Long , the chief in-
'ormcd ' the Urx reporter that ho
vas in n fair way to demonstrate conclu-
Ivcly about what had become of W. E. Uea ,
it Just how and by what means ho declined
> state. "Here , " he said , "is Hen's picture , "
handing the reporter a well defined photo
graph of the missing man. After scmtiniz-
'ng it closely the scribe ventured tlio opinion
, hat ho had seen the face before , and not so
! eng ago either , and ' jumped at the conclu
sion , considering all the facts in this myster
ious case , that it must have been In the police
: ourt. Uea's is n face not easily forgotten ,
being ono of uncommon attractiveness , the
: lenr cut lineaments denoting refinement and
education. His general description tallies
ivith that of a very line looking man. Upon
: ho reporter's suggestion tlio police
: ourt docket was sent for and
xaminod , but the hieroglyphics there
upon didnot reveal anything
o establish whether Uea had ever been run
n or not. However , a number of the station
) illrcrs agreed ih the opinion that the man
tvhosa photograph the chief exhibited had
Liecu at sometime in the immediate past beFore -
Fore the police com t. At any rate , ho was
ositively known" to have been In Omaha
about the 1st of February , but whether ho
has boon decoyed to the lonely lumberyard ,
knocked in. the head , robbed and thrown into
the river , or whether ho committed suicide
by Jumping into a hole in the ice , or what bc-
canio of him , is n matter that will probably
require much work yet bcforo it can bo fully
and indubitably established.
U13NCH AND BAR.
District Court.
1IANKEUS AUItUdNni ) .
Kaufman Urothors filed their answer to
the suits brought against them by the Hank
of Commerce and Cora H. Sloman ,
with the district clerk. The answer
sqts forth the allegations that Cora H. Slo
man , in whoso name her husband , Morris ,
transacts business , commenced ; suit against
defendants on three promissory notes aggre
gating S4,1UO. These notes were given to se
cure tlio loan of $4,000 , obtained In Sep cm-
ber , 1887. For this accommodation defend
ants paid to Sloman Brothers $400 in cash ,
besides the 10 per cent interest stipulated in
the notes.
In Oclober defendants borrowed $3,000
more , for which they gave their note bearing
10 per cent interest , aud for the accommoda
tion paid another $400 in cash. The notes
were renewed at maturity , and defendants
wero. forced to pay another bonus of 275.
Tlicso several transactions covered a period
of only four months , and during that time
the total amount of bonus paid to the Slo
man Brothers was $1,075 , and the legal inter
est amounted to but $185.09.
The main defense 6f Kaufman Brothoi is
that of usury , with which they charge the
plaintiff , Sloman. They further ulleuo that
from tlmo to time they deposited with Slo
man Brothers sums of money to bo applied in
payment of the notes , but these monies had
been differently disposed of. '
The Bank of Commerce puts In a claim for
$0,000 and the answer of defendants is again
bused upon alleged usury. The answer sets
forth that the Bank of Commerce charged
defendants $750 for discounting Ihcso notes.
A number of them wont to protest and they
were charged buck to the defendants' account.
To get the account into better shape they
gave ono note to cover the whole amount
and were forced to pay another bonus.
Other notes fell duo on an average of one
each month nnd defendants would take them
up by giving now ovcs and were obliged to
pay for this accommodation sums of cash
ranging from $50 to $100.
It is further charged by defendants that
the Bank of Commerce had received several
checks from Kaufman Brothers , and Dave
Kaufman for collection. Some of these
were returned to tlio bank protested , and
such checks were charged up to the defen
dants' account twice. With fraudulent intent
to cheat defendants out of largo sums of
money , the bunk did sign defendants' names
to checks to cover fictitious overdrafts.
Kaufman Brothers further allege that dur
ing one year they paid to the Bunk .of Com
merce $4,000 of usurious interest.
Mr. Crane , of the law firm of Cavanagh &
Crano.o was seen .yesterday. Mr. Crane
said that in behalf of the Bank of Commerce ,
whoso attorneys his llrm were wished testate
state that the charges of Kaufman Brothers
are not only fnlso in every particular , but
nro ridiculous.This answer was made by Kauf
man Brothers simply to delay settlement.
All the transactions ot the Bank of Commerce
had been business-Ilka in every particular.
At the trial the bank would produce its hooks
in court. Mr. Crane said that Kaufman
could never nmko tlio people of Omaha bo-
itovo that such men as constitute the direc
tory of the Bank of Commerce would permit
such criminal operations us stands charged.
TO AITOINT A IlfCKIVKII.
The application of Morris H. Sloman ct
nl for tlio appointment of n receiver in the
Kaufman brothers affair was partially heard
by Judge Wukeley yesterday afternoon. The
hearing was then continued until Saturday
morning , it Js claimed in the answer that
the court has no power to appoint a receiver
because they hold the property under u writ
of replevin. The replevin action is still
pending , and the bond is in the hands of the
court and represents the property.
Affidavits filed in support of the
answer state that Frank Johnson'
cashier and agent of the Hunk of Commerce , ;
and Morris H. Sloman , have been dogging
the footsteps of Messrs. Davis and Hces , and
threatening them with all manner ot
trouble unless they would compromise and
not plead usury. It also stated in the affi
davit that Johnson aud Sloman offered to
enter Into any schema with Davis
and Uecs to defeat the unsecured claims
of Kaufman Bros , if they would uot plead
usury.

LAST CUT ,
J
/
The unusually warm weather forces us to place our light weight '
goods on our counters much sooner than we intended , and does not 4 ]
give us as much time as we expected to have in which to close put the
balance of our winter stock. We have a few heavy weight suits left ,
and to make an entire sweep with them , have made another and last
cut on , several already marked down lots and will offer them for this
week at prices that will make it interesting for any one to look at them.1 .
The attention of mechanics , machinists and working men is particularly - 1
ularly called to two lots of good cassimere suitsmarked down to $5.90 f
and $6.75. These are splendid bargains as the suits are positively |
worth double the money. They are strong and honestly made and will |
wear well- . \
A lot1 of elegant 4-button cutaway frock suits , of finest quality oas * J
simere and equal to any ciistom made suits , has been marked down to j |
$11.50. This suit cannot be procured at any other house for less than
$20.
In our Boy's department we will also offer this week enormous bar
gains to close out a few styles of heavy weight suits , and we urgently
invite ladies to take immediate advantage of this remarkable oppor
tunity , as such bargains will not be offered again.
Having closed out allour last year's fancy shirts , we have now opened - .
ed and placed on sale , a fresh , new line. Without exception we show
the largest and handsomest assortment of French Percale shirts in
town. Beautiful and " choice patterns , some of them very fancy , but
the prices will not b"e found at all fancy.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
