j any today announced a cut of 25 cents per

TUB HOCK ISLAM ) KEFUSE3.
The Chicago , Hock Island and Pacific rail
way company refuses to comply with the re
quest of the boa ill of transportation unking
for information regarding the cost of its Ne
braska lines , their vnluo and earnings. This
request wus made in order thut the secretaries
may us j > er resolution of thu board , find some
scale for freight rates. The company In its
communication gives us Its- reasons for re
fusing , the fact that only a comparatively
small portion of its 1,700 miles of roud is in
Nebraska ; that the present cash value should
bo measured by the value of the whole sys
tem ; that the Ncbruskii portion by itself
would bo of comparatively llttlo value ; that
to even approximate the exact earnings of
the Nebraska portion would bo n very dinl-
cult mutter and could not bo completed in

TIIK UNIOX PACinc ii\ri.ii.s. \ :
This morning the Union Pacific Hied an an
swer to the complaint of G. C. Barnurn to the
state bourd of transportation that that copor-
utlon Is discriminuting in tliu shipinentof cattle -
tlo mid hogs from Columbus. The Union Pa
cific admits that its rate from Columbus to
South Omaha ( ninety-two miles ; for the
transportation of hog.s and cuttle is $ 'J9 per
thirty foot car , und other lengths in proportion
tion ; that its rates In connection with other
lines for transportation of live cattle from
Columbus to Chicago are 20 % cents per hun
dred pounds , but thut the sumo are subject
to n minimum charge of fiy.48 per thirty foot
car instead of.V > , us alleged in the complaint ;
thut Its rates on llvo hogs nre SS'-f cents per
hundred pounds , subject to u minimum
weight of 15,000 pounds for n thirty foot
singic deck car ; thut the distance
from Columbus to Chicago by its line nnd
connections Is ubout live hundred and eighty-
four miles ; that whereas the r.ito from
Columbus to South Omaha exceeds 5(1 ( pel-
cent of the rate from Columbus to Chicago ,
the distance between the first two places is
less than 10 per cent of the distance from
Columbus to Chicago. But it denies that its
charges for transportation are unreusonublc
und unjust or uro u discrimination against the
shippers from Columbus ; that it is not in
any sense responsible for the rates on the
lines with winch it makes connections be
tween Council Bluffs and Chicago , It is
claimed that competition on the latter lines
is so close that there is no profit to the roads.
It is claimed that the solo question to IKS con
sidered is whether the rates charged by the
Union Pacific are in themselves unreasona
ble , nnd no comparison should bo made with
u business doing a much larger business.

J. A. Pnyno und J. P. Baldwin , Glister

L. U. Jones and Neils Anderson , proprietors
of the Peoples' bunk in the same place. The
plaintiffs ask for $ lVi.V ( ) ) damages against the
bunkers. They allege that the defendants
took u most unfair advantage of them in n
business transaction und ruined them thereby ,
The plaintiffs were short of money over it
year ago and gave u mortgage on their mer
chandise in order to secure d banlc
account to the amount of § 4,000 , On
April 10 , 1SS9 , only about 130 had
been advanced by the bankers and by mutual
agreement of plaintiffs and defendants the
store was turned over to the cure of a third
person to bo ruu by him until the sales
amounts : ! to $4,000. This amount wiu to bo
given to the bankers , but they were mean
while to spend the remaining portion of the
$4,000 to keep the stock replenished. Instead
of doing this the bunkers seized the stock ,
sold it at public auction and closed up the
.store , bankrupting Baldwin & Payne. They
took the case into the courts , and in the
district court they were awarded § 2,800 dam
ages. This they claim is not sufficient.

CROPS IN SOUTH DAKOTA ,
The Foremost Question Among the People of
That Stato.
A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IMPENDING ,
Klectlon of n Congressman nnd the
Selection of iv Permanent Capi
tal thu Most Important
Matters.
VAXKTON- . D. , May 18. [ Special to THK
Brn. ] Foremost nmong the questions of pub
lic interest in thu state of South Dakota Just
now is the piwpoct for crops in 1SIK ) . It is
yet rather early for prognostications in this
direction1 , ami it is certainly far too soon to
predict as to the yield of grain iu all
pni-ta or certain sections of the common
wealth. The spring weather has not been
propitious for the rapid growth of .cereals . ,
but there has been an abundance of moisture
ajui with the usual conditions for the ensuing
two months South Dakota will re-establish
her reputation us a gratu producing state. In
the drouth districts of last year the total
planted acreage Is greater than that of lust
year , nnd wheat , oats , corn and llnx ,
tlio staple crops , uro well along. Hesidents
of these districts are cheerfully anticipating
a bountiful return for their agricultural
labors.
The state is Just about entering upon n po
litical campaign which promises to lie ex
ceedingly exciting. Tlio election of a congress
man nnd the selection of a permanent capital
will bo the most Important questions in
volved. Senator G , C. Moody has n light
with his fellow republicans on his bunds , and
political prophets surmise that ho has more to
fear from that quarter than from the demo
cratic party. Mr. Moody has some of the
best men of the Black Hills , his own countrv.
arrayed against him , unless conditions have
changed since the state legislature adjourned ,
und unless ho carries the Black Hills solid
into the state convention he can hurdly cxpoct
a renomtnntion. The light will not end in
the Hills , however , for there are several as
piring candidates for ills shoes in the eastern
portion of the state. Governor Mellctto
und John U. Gamble of Yankton nro men
tioned In that connection , but it is asserted
by Mr. Mollette's friends that ho will not lx >
in the senutoriul race but will be n candidate
for re-election to the governorship. The re
publican central couimittco met in Huron
on the Sth hist , nnd called the republican
convention1 to meet in Mitchell August 27.
Incidental to the two foremost considera
tions equal suitragp will cause some trouble.
Pierre , the temporary capital , Huron and
possibly Watertown are in the nice for the
permanent capitalship. The democrats are
engaged in cursing Melletto for going out
of the state to beg for the
drouth sufferers and in lamenting the advent
of prohibition. In Yankton a young men's
republican league has been organized and the
time-honored republican ring of this count } *
will have a nice time iu the coming cam
paign.
The prohibitory law is in full Xorco nrul-
ofTeot in South Dakota , and except in
Sioux Fulls not ono drop of mult
or spirituous liquors is being sold openly in
the state , fl'ho "original package" method Is
in vogue there. Liquor dealers generally
seem afraid to place faith in tlio liberal con
struction of the "original package" decision
and are.wlliting for a legal test of the matter.
Druggists cannot sell liquor for medical pur-
pases until . .Tune1 , und in consequence
South Dakota generally has Its tongue out.
b'ankton's bibulous contingent will not go
thirsty much longer , however , as the proxi ;
mity of Nebraska is to be taken advantage of.
Yankton ex-saloonists will establish places
of business at Aten , in Cedar comity , Ne
braska , opposite Yankton.
Three of the members of the United States
irrigation commission inspected the artesian
wells of Yankton this week' after
having visited every other portion of the
Htute , where there uro artesian wells. It Is
now understood that the commission will re
port that certain portions of South Dakota
lands are arid , and that because of the topographical
graphical flatness of the state , it will not be
practicable to irrigate by artesian wells.
This report is being widely discussed and
heartily criticised. It is not regarded us Just
or correct. An irrigation convention will beheld
held in Woonsockct Juno 4.
Citizens of Pierre recently subscribed
$200,000 for the construction of n railroad
from Aberdeen , in Brown county , to Pierre ,
n distance of about ono hundred and twenty
miles. It is claimed that wealthy men of the
cast have deposited u bond to build and equip
this read with the assistance of the SwOOlKM ) .
Pierre is accused , however , of agitating this
road for campaign timber. Chief among the
arguments against Pierre for the permanent
capitalship is her inaccessibility , and this
read is said to bo simply a paper affair in
tended to catch votes.
It has been unofficially announced that the
homo olllces of the Dakota loan und trust

cause assigned for removal Is that
the laws of south Dakota do not afford fair
protection for the company.
company of Mitchell , S. D. , is also contem
plating n removal from the state.
The citizens of Huron ha/o closed n con
tract for a hotel to cast $200,000.
The third annual theological institute of

The only pontoon bridge across the Mis

The 1'ollce CoiunilHslon'H
to the City Council ,
When the m m ns of the flro nnd police
commission met last night Mayor Cushlng
was absent. The duties of chalrjnau were
looked after by Commissioner Bennett.
The llrst business of the session wus the in
vestigation of Officer Bolund , who failed to
report at roll call on the morning of the 1 ! th
Inst. Culef Seavey , in the report submitted ,
stilted that ho wus of the opinion that Bolund
had looked too long upon the wlno. The of
ficer denied this , and to square himself ho
tcstitlcd thut early thnt morning ho hud mot
two footpads on Corby street , near Sixteenth ,
and wb.llo attempting to arrest them ho
had been knocked down , and while
lying on the ground both men escaped.
This story , hud been told to Chief Scuvcy , but
the chief did not take enough stock In It to
exonerate tlio man , so ho ru-iorted the nwo
to the commissioners und uluo reported that
he thought Bolund necilod looking after.
Cupuln ( Moslyn , when put upon the stand ,
stated thut during the night in question
Boland had fulled to report to the operator at
the lire alarm titutlon. The captain was of
the opinion that Instead of being out on his
beat lighting toughs , Boland wus in u green
house on Sherman avcnuo , eating his lunch
und Indulging in the pleasure of a drunken
sluinbur.
Sergeant Omwby saw Bolund in the given
house , but thought ho wai in theru cutlng hU

from Mayor dishing. In which ho said :

Another communication wiw presented , this
from the chief of police , which wus us fol
lows :
There huvo been two dreadful murders com
mitted In this city dniliin the present month
and tlio pollen are uslm ; every ell'ort. to cap

places of miiidercrs and other criminals who
are frequently protected and balled out of.lull
by iKirtles In our midst. It may lie the menus
of assisting the polled to caiisii tliou criminals
to receive the punishment they deserve.
1 do not know of a case of burglary , murder
nr tiny other felony ( with tlio exception of the
ease of Poor ) thai ims occurred In the last two
years but that , the parties committing the
crimes have been arrested by tliu police of
this city. I consider that lack of evidence , too
much work In thu fiollco court , thn Indefinite
continuance of the trial , and hick of prose
cution on the part of our attorneys nro tliu
principal causes why onlv about , one convic
tion out of twentyerlnilnalcase.sureobtalned ;
and when u criminal Is convicted the penalty
Is UHimlly hiie.li as to encourage film to remain
In Onialm.
The subject was discussed to some length ,
nnd both tliu communications , together with
the following resolution , which was Intro
duced by Commissioner Smith , and adopted ,
were ordered sent to the city council , with
the request that they take some notion on the
matter.
Resolved , That It Is the opinion of the board
that it would assist tlio police ( lopartmeiit
greatly In driving tramps tuid other persons
of bad diameter from this city and Iu keeping
others from visiting the city. If there were
means provided by which sued poisons could
bo put to severe labor ; and this boaid respect
fully re-quests the city council to make gome
provisions looking to that evil * and In east ; the
city council should S''e fit to adopt this siiRgvs-
tlou. It thereby authorl/.cs the committee on
men and discipline to act with any committee
appointed by I lie ulty council with thut object
In view.
In executive session O nicer Boland was
dismissed from the police force , us wus Offi
cer Scott , who was before tlio commissioners
a week ago on the charge of drunkenness.
The matter of providing funds for the ap
prehension of criminals was referred to the
committee on finance.
A FAK-OKP STAR.
It Would Take u Cannon Hall 10O-
OOO.OOO Years to Hit It.
It is difficult to conceive Unit the beau
tiful dog sttir isu glebe much kii'gcr than
our sun , yet it is u fact that Siritis is a
sun many times moro mighty than our
own , Buys Chambers' Journal. This
splendid star , which , cvou in our most
powerful tolesoopcs , appears as a mere
point of light , is in reality a globe emit
ting so enormous a quantity of light and
heat , that were it to take tlio place of
our sun , every creature on thin earth
would be consumed by its burning rays.
Siritts shining with far greater luster
than any other star , it was natural that
astronomers should hnvo regarded this
as being tlio nearest of all the "fixed"
stars , but recent investigation on the
distances of the stars has shown that the
nearest to us is Alpha Centauri , a star
belonging to the southern latitudes ,
though it is probable thut Sirius is about
fourth on the list in order of distance.
For though there are about fifteen or
twenty stars whose distances have been
conjectured , the astronomer knows that
in reality all of them , stivo three or
four , lie at distances too great to bo
measured by any instruments wo have at
present.
Astronomers agree in fixing tlio dis
tance of the nearest star at 22,000,000-
000,000 miles , and it is certain that the
distance of Sirius is moro than three and
less than six limes that of Alpha Cent
auri , most likely about llvo times ; so
that wo are probably not far from tlio
truth if sot the distance of Sirius at
about 100,000,000,000,000 of miles. What
a vast distance is this thut separates us
from that bright star ; words and figures
themselves ftiil to convey to our minds
any adequate idea of its true character.
To take a common example of illus
trating sucii enormous instances : it is
calculated that the ball from an Arm
strong 100-poundor quits the gun with
the speed of about four hundred yards
per second. Now if this velocity could
) ) o kept up it would require no fewer
than 100,000,000 years before tlio ball
could reach Sirius.
