There Is n rcat deal of enthusiasm anJ
onBrntulatlons among the grniiKor clcmonts
of congrtm over tbo bill which passed the
cnalo yostordoy dlrootlnR the secretary of
nerlculturo to 11 x a national standard for
grading grain , It Is stated by members of
tbo bouso committed on ngrlculturo that tbo
measure will DO a law within a month , aj ati
Bftlrmatlva action has already boon takuu by
tholr connnlttoo. Tbo bill is not alone In
tended to relieve the farmers In the great
wheat Knowing states of the northwest from
the tricks of the clovntortnon , who grrulo
grain to suit themselves and the market , butte
to correct wldo differences between the
Vrhoat buyers , and especially nt Dulutti ,
Cblrngo , Cincinnati , Toledo , Huifalo , Until-
moro mid Homo other placos.
Mr. Funaton of Kansas Joins Senator Pad
dock In the belief that moro groin dealers and
heavyweight producers fail lu business
through cheating In the grading of grain
tnan anything else.
Very Knitlly Manipulated.
Mr. Fututon , who was chairman of the
last house cominlttoo on ngrlculturo , and Is
nt present a tnomborof tljatbody , said today :
"No person wbo has grain for ale , bo ho
dealer or producer , knows within 80 cants n
bushel mott of the time what bo will got for
It when It passes tbo bands of the grader ,
and ho trusts hU fortune to the machinations
of tricksters when ho places the grain upon
the cars , without first having It graded.
Numoor ! 3 in Nebraska may bo number a at
Chicago , or number 1 at Judlauapolls may bo
tiumuor 't at Toledo. This bill , when It be
comes a law , will make groin of the satno
grade In all markets , nnd farmers cnu ship
their own grain as well as dealers , for Ihoy
need liuvo no fears of being swindled in
Eroding. "
The law will bo a great blessing to the
farmers , elevator man and grain buyers of
Nebraska , Iowa , South Dakota and other
great wheat growing states. It Is boliovcil
by men from those sections that It will glvo
uniformly moro satisfactory prices and will
certainly"remove the speculator and uncer
tain features of legitimate grain producing
and grain growing.

Hon. Spencer Smith of Council Bluffs ,
chairman of tbo state railroad commission
of Iowa , a republican , nnd his colluagua on
the commission , Hon. Peter Doy , a demo
crat , are bore attending the conference of
xbo state railroad commissioners before tbo
intorstnlo commission.
Mr. Smith says : "Prohibition will out llt
tlo or no llguro in the state and national elec
tions In Iowa this year. Tbo outlook tor re
publican victory Is bright enough , and wo
will curry the state easily. Of course Iowa
Is as greatly devoted to Mr. Blaine as over. "
"
Mr. Doy "says : "Iowa democrats would
dearly love to sco Governor Bolos nominated
for president because ot his ability , his char
acter and his wonderful triumphs In tuo
successive gubernatorial elections. Governor
Bolos Is n good man and has tbo happy fac
ulty of Impressing his honesty of purpose on
every crowd ho addresses. Some ono bas
said of him that 'ho bus a lace like an nfll-
davit and u volco like the songs of Solomon. '
Next to Boies Cleveland is the cbolco of the
greatest number. "
Knn UH a Co-Operation Clininplnn.
Representative Kern has surprised his
friends by appearing in the bouso as a cham
pion of co-operation. Ho bos lust reported
from tbo committee on Indian affairs n bill
, authorizing the Dennison & Northern Kail-
road company to construct and operate n
railway through the Indian Territory. This
Is tbo Jlrst laborious duty performed by Mr.
Kom at congressman. Although there are
many iNobraska bills In the committees and
on the calendar of the house , Mr. Kom ap
pears to liuvo lost sight of them and to bo
looking after gonnral measures.
Opposing tlio Pure Food 1)111.
Opposition to tbo Paddock pure food bill Is
being exerted Just now to defeat considera
tion of the measure In the houso. It will bo
necessary for the house committco on rules
to report n soocial order fixing a day for the
consideration of this measure or It cannot
have n bearing. This reduces tbo Hold of
operations for the opponents of tbo bill and
they are bringing great pressure to boar just
now to pruvont a special order being re
ported. The opposition comes from two di
rections , tbo cotton seed oil interests of tbo
aoutb and the manufacturers of patent
medicines who do not want to submit
their formulas to exports , although they are
that under no circumstances Is it possi
ble for their formulas to bo known. Tbo
< leht U being conducted under the guise of
Interference with Interstate regulations.
The friends of the measure openly assert tbat
no honest dealer Is opposed to the bill. The
manufacturers of an unhealthy and fraudu
lent alum baking powder which is sold at the
price of and as cream tartar baking -powders
and certain oleomargarine makers who are
disposing of tholr products for creamery
butter arc , under the surface , vigorously op
posing this bill.
Moro Troutto with Chill.
A member of the bouso foreign affairs com
mittee Is authority for Iho statement that the
diplomatic ) relations between Chill and the
United States will shortly end. Ho corrobo
rates the report published recently to the ef
fect tbat Minister Ecan would never go back
to Chill in u diplomatic capacity and adds
that bo does not expect that anybody wtll bo
sent there at least for some time.
C\ "Tbo relations have boon strained for
V' quite a while , " bo added. "This bas bocn
known alt along on tbo outside. Monti's re
turn was duo to the rupture lutonta and
though a report has gone forth that a suc
cessor will bo sent hero , I do not believe it ;
nolthcr dp 1 bohovo tbat this country will
Bond one there to succeed ICgan. Diplomatic
relations will bo quietly dropped. "
I'rcaldont HurrlHoii'n Position ,
All sorts of reports have boon current
about Washington for several weeks as to
souio possible plan of opposition to the ro-
nomlnatlon of J'rosldont Harrison upon
which lenders of the republican party , both
within anil without congress , who uro dis-
-j&tlsllod with the distribution of patronage
by this administration , and taoroforo duslro
a change , might unlto. The latest form
which those Hying reports Jjavo assumed la
that several republican senators , wno are
cliissod us "nntl-admlntstratlon" republicans ,
bavo agreed upon the form of a letter to bo
Addressed to tbo president , requesting bun
in tbo Interest of party harmony and success
t the polls to declare that he will not accept
a ronomlniulon. This story carries with it
Its own contradiction. It bas , however , boon
given uch wldo circulation as to deserve
attention.
It may bo stated again in the most posltlro
way that { 'resident Harrison is not a "candi
date" for rcuomlnatlon In tbo sense tbat ho
is working for that honor which so largo a
portion of the party sincerely believe ho do-
sorves. This very fact makes it Impossible
that there could bo upon tbo part of any of
tbnao who , for conscientious or other motive * ,
oppojo him , an intention to ask him to with
draw from the Held. If President Harrison
Is lu tbo Hold nt all it is because of the force
of events. Ho cannot withdraw because bo
i not an Intruder , it has always boonper
fectly understood that tbo ono dotlrd of both
President Harrison and Secretary Blsluo
was to see nominated at Minneapolis & re
publican candidate who would bo elected.
Hence uny expression asking bis "with
drawal" would be as needless M absurd.
This statement is in ail o upon the ttatomnni
of ono ot tbo "anti-admlulatraUon" senators.

L N. Brown , who has been representing aNew
Now York cattle exporting firm at the yards
for several weeks past , has left fora tem
porary absence in tbo east. Tbo export sales
have become an important clement of the
trade on the local market and an effort will
bo made to develop this branch of the mar
ket. During tholivo weeks which Mr. Brown
has boon located here ho has bought and
shipped about 200 carloads of export cattle.
Ho aays that the stock area tributary to this
market alTords an excellent supply of the
heavy cattle suitable for export , and there is
every reason to expect that they will soon bo
In demand by otbor eastern firms. The only
drawback to tbo shipment of this grade of
stock from bore is the disparity of rates be
tween live stock and tbo dressed product.
According to a decision of the Interstate
Commerce commission the rates are the
same , but that decision did not apply
to transportation contracts mudo bo fora
that time. Some of the packers bad contracts
with certain roads to carry tholr dressed
meat products for u rate but llttlo ever bait
tbo rate on live stock. This rate has to bo
mot by other roads , and ns a result the rate
decision is practically inoperative in certain
cases.

you how , " ana struck the boy in the face
twlco , breaking his nose and causing the
blood to How freely.
The affair was observed by a number of

TO CUT DOUGLAS STKEEP AGAIN.
A Mooting of Property Owners CalliMl to
Discuss Iho 'Matter.
It Is proposed to mnxo Douglas street a
better grnclod thoroughfare than Fartmm
street now is.
Property owners along Douglas slroot
have prepared a petition to bo presented to
tbo city council , asking that , the street grade
bo lowered from Sixteenth to Twentieth
streets , and also to establish the grndo of
the intersecting streets Seventeenth , Eigh
teenth nnd NInctcouth.j
The petition has beqn signed by tlin major
ity of property owners , pn all those streets
except Seventeenth , upon which It is pro
posed to make a cut ot three foot at the In
tersection ot Seventeenth and Douglas. The
grade starts from thoosoulh sldo of the alloy
nt Iho rear of TUP. BcHlbuiialnp , and bas a
gradual Incline to Douglas , thereby making
tbo cut three feet. To this Henry Pundt ,
xvho owns property at the southwest corner
of Seventeenth and Douglas , objeiits , and
has refused to sign. tug petition foivtho grade.
On all , of the other streets the petition has
a majority of ' 1,200 foot 'signed , and as only
ono signature is necessary for tbo grade on
Seventeenth street , Air. Pundt's refusal to
sifrn It prevents the petition from being sub
mitted to the council. j-Uowevor , a mooting
of the .property ownqrfs will bo hold this
afternoon to get souio ono to mtfko conces
sions to Mr. Pundt , in order that bo' may bo
induced to sign the petition.
According to Dr. P. , Grossman , D. T.
Mount and Dr. Tlldon tbo .district to bo
graded includes Sixteonth. to Twentieth
stroobi west ; on"Sovcnloonth from Dodge to
the south side of tho' ' alloy between Farnnm
and Douglas , ' a cut of'four feet on the east
sldo and three feet on the west side of
Seventeenth ; on Eighteenth from Dodge to
Farnam , a cut of six. and a half foot on the
east nnd six foot on the west stdo ; on Nine
teenth from Dodge to Farnam , a cut of nlno
feet on the cast and eight feel on tbo west
sldo.
sldo.The
The elovatiou of Mr , Pundt's rornor is 10.7
feet , and it is proposed to rnako it 10.4 feet by
the cliango of grade , which will make the
three feet cut. A cut of four foot Is pro
posed to be made on the southeast rornor
owned oy John -Hnrbnch ; four feet on the
Folsom corner and tbrco foot on Dr. Gross
man's corner , thus making a slope or fall of
ono foot from the south sldo to tbo north sldo
on Douclas street , and a fall of two feet on
Seventeenth from tbo west to tbo cast sldo.
Mr. Pundt was soon , but declined to have
anything to say regarding tbo proposed
chaneo of grade , but Mr. Mount stated that
Mr. Pundt felt that his lot has at present all
tbo elevation It will stand. Ho wants as
much cut at tbo alley as Is cut at the inter
section of Seventeenth and Douglas streets.
"If a cut of two foot" said Mr. Mount ,
"woro made at the alloy tbat would Icnvo
Mr. Pundt's elevation ono foot moro than it
1 % at present. The petition is signed by a
much larger majority than has been any
ether petition for a change of grado. Tbo
majority Is about 1,20 ; ) foot for Douglas ,
Eighteenth nnd Nineteenth streets , but on
Seventeenth there Is an oven stand-oft and
tbo petition only needs another name. ' '
Dr. Tlldon explained that another petition
had previously aeon gotten up and signed by
all except ono property owner on Eighteenth.
This ono was signed by Mr. Pundt. It was
proposed to maku a cut of two foot on the
cast side of Seventeenth and ono foot on tbo
west , on Eighteenth a cut of four nnd one-
half feet on the east sldo , on Nineteenth a
cut of six and onc'-balf feet. This petition
got a majority of feet front signers on all
streets except Eighteenth , nnd it only lacUud
ono signer.
The property owners claim tbat this last
petition will make u much better grade and
make Douglas a moro doilrablo thoroughfare -
faro than Farnam street , as it will bo , after
the grade is established , a good business
street.
Mr. Harbucb bas not , as yet , been asked
to algn tbo petition , although ho Is u prop
erty owner at the southeast corner of Seven
teenth and Douglas.
