    MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATES
Ncwberry Bill Finally Finds Ita Way Into
the Federal Court ,
VALIDITY OF THE LAW IN QUESTION
Ilreucr nnd Dundy Hearing Argi
menu In the Action HroiiRht to Knforco
the I'rovliiloin of the Maximum Itato
Other
1 When Justice Brewer and Judge Dundy as
cended the bench In the federal court
yesterday they were greeted by a large num
ber ot attorneys , who had been attracted
there by the fact that the maximum freight
rate cage was to bo taken up from the cal
endar for a Joint hearing.
John L. Webster appeared as special coun
sel In behalf of the State Board ot Trans
portation and the Union Pacific road , which
has been made a party to the defense , and
Attorney General Hastings and W. A. Dll-
worth appeared for the state. Attorney *
Woolworth , Marquet and Hawley appeared
Tor the complaining railways. The case Is
based on the attempted enforcement of the
freight rate bill known as the Ncwberry bill ,
which was passed by the state legislature
and approved on April 12 , 1S93 , with the
following title :
"An act to regulate railroads , to classify
freights , to fix reasonable minimum rates
to bo charged for the transportation
of freight upon each of the railroads In the
etato ot Nebraska , and to provldo penalties
for the violation of this act. " The rail
ways secured an Injunction against the de
fendants , who were .trying to enforce the
act.
act.Tho bills In the above named cases pray
that the law referred to may be adjudged
unconstitutional and void , and that the state
board of transportation be enjoined from en
forcing Its provisions.
The bills of complaint charge that the
bill was not read at large on three different
days In either the house or the senate , but
, \vas put upon Its passage without being so
read. The records of botli branches of the
general assembly are offered In evidence to
prove this allegation. The plaintiff roads
will endeavor to Impeach the actlpn.of the
legislature In the passage of this bill.
It Is alleged that the local rates now In
force In Nebraska , which are added to all
shipments coming Into the state , are about
40 per cent higher than the local rates In
Kansas , Minnesota and Dakota ; hence , even
on Interstate shipments the Nebraska con
signee pays a higher rate than do con-
elgnecs In these other states. To equalize
rates the local rates In Nebraska must bo re
duced as provided In the maximum freight
rate law , so as to conform as much as maybe
bo , to the local rates In these other states ,
through which the roads extend that arc
parties to these suits.
AH points' In eastern Nebraska , such as
Blair , Fremont , Lincoln and Beatrice have
ilio benefit of all through rates from the
cast to Omaha or to the Missouri rlvor , with
a small additional rate to these points named ,
BO as to practically place these cities on the
Missouri river so far as rates are concerned.
But all shipments that go to points In Ne
braska beyond the cities named pay the full
local rates from the Missouri river. This
Is a discrimination In favor of Fremont ,
Blair. Lincoln and Beatrice over all the rest
of the state.
It Is also claimed that If the railroads can
haul freight from the Missouri river , flfty-
Jlvo miles , to Lincoln at this low rate ,
called differential , at a profit , they can also ,
Vlth equal profit , haul the same frelghtovor
'nn equal distance west from Lincoln at the
eamo low rate , and so on to all points west
throughout- the state at the same ratio of
rate. It Is admitted that this differential
rate Is much lower than the local rates es
tablished In the law In question.
The defense claims that there Is no prin
ciple of law Involved in this case worthy of
eerlous discussion and refers to Justice
Dradley's decision In a Minnesota case , In
Which ho says : "It Is stated that all
charges must bo reasonable and that none
but reasonable charges can bo exacted ; and
what Is a reasonable charge Is a Judicial
question. "
The discrimination In rates exercised by
the railways In favor of certain points and
monopolies resulted In the passage of this
bill , but It has remained Inactive because
of an Injunction.
The defense now alleges that by reason of
the Injunction granted In this case the rail
road companies have already suspended for
one year the operation of this law , to the
aggrandisement of themselves and to the
detriment ot the people. They now want
to call a halt and lot the law be tested by
actual experience.
It Is further alleged that If the law had
gene Into operation at the time this suit was
brought and had remained In operation from
that time to the present , such operation
would have bred such facts and worked such
results as would have enabled the railway
companies and the people and the courts to
Judge advisedly whether It was a wise or an
unwise law.
As It lias been the railway companies have
remained the masters of the situation and
the people are standing as supplicants asking
for a speedy enforcement of the law.
The arguments In the case may occupy the
timeof the court for the remainder of the
week and some Interesting points will no
doubt require a ruling from the Judges.
Judge Woolworth took up all of' the day
yesterday stating the plaintiffs' sldo of the
case and presenting the evidence taken by
the master In chancery. Today John L.
Webster will probably begin the defensive
argument. So far but few points have been
raised and neither Justice Brewer nor Judge
Dundy has had to make a ruling.

would soon bo annexed as a suburb to
Omaha. He was cordially cheered.
The order of contests was next proceeded

Berka , who , by mutual agreement , was al
lowed to shoot In this contest. Judge Berka
won , making 39 out of a possible CO ; E. E.
Lovett of The Bee second , Bob Glider of
the Evening News third , the rest distanced.
The Judge was assisted In shooting by Detec
tive Dunn and Officer Cook.
After this everybody had dinner , some
had baskets , some had not , but everybody
had something to eat.
Right after dinner occurred some very
fine dumb bell and Indian club exhibitions
by Officers Poole and Baldwin. They went
through some very difficult maneuvers suc
cessfully.
The running races were next on the list.
First running race , open to all : George
Cover won , A. Adams second. Running

The waltzing contest was next In order.
Among the gentlemen Mr. R. Kock and Mr.
J. Bishop took the first and second prizes
respectively ; the ladles , Miss Goff and Miss

One part of the program that was of great
Interest was the awarding of a prize to the
best looking policeman and wife. Officer
Mike Klssanc and wife carried off the honor.
The next was Just the opposite , a prize for
the homllest policeman on the grounds.
Officer Cumlngs distinguished himself l
taking the premium for being the ugliest
policeman on the grounds.
The most exciting shoot of the day was
the trap shooting for p'oliceman only. As
In the former contests , Detective Dunn won ,
Arthur Dooley second and Officer Relglemnn
third. The rlflo shoot for policemen only
was won by Detective Dunn , Officers Jack-
man and Cook tying for second. In the
shoot-off Cook won second place.
The women tvore there to have some fun
too , and they ihad It : Llko her husband ,
Mrs. Dunn Is something of a shot. She won
the ladles' contest , open to all , hands
down , Miss Neuland second. Mrs. Dunn is
very clever with a revolver and some of
the shots she made were extremely difficult.
Great praise was given Officers Cook ,
Dillon , Cumlngs , Baldwin , Jackman nnd
Dooley for their efforts In the way of ar
rangements.
Something out of the ordinary occurred
at this picnic. Miss Stella Hagerman and
George Palmatler , as soon as they alighted

Few people think nt this time of the yonr
of the great Importance of dress.
In the winter people dress warmly because
they know It Is a necessity , but In the sum
mer , when It Is hot , they go to the other ex
treme nnd even dress too lightly. Hot
weather causes people to use light clothing ;
but nuddernly the wind change * , the nlr
becomes chilly , and a cold Is pretty certain
to bo the result.
Now , where most people make n mistake
Is In not guarding against thcso sudden
changes ( illicitly nnd In time. Any man or
woman who linn on u Hunt suit of clothing ,
anil feels a change which brings u chill ,
shplcl at once counteract the chill. Thin run
only be done by the use of some pure stimu
lant , not Kin KITH or hot drinks , but n pure
medicinal whiskey that will refresh the aya-
tern , cause the blood to circulate , and lirlnu
about Immediate reaction. There IB but ono
medicinal whiskey that will do this , and
that IB lluffy's Pure Malt. It has for twen
ty years accomplished what has never been
Known before In counteracting the llrst
symptoms of sudden colds nnd preventing
the possibility of pneumonia , fevers and nil
the distressing complaints which follow any
It should be remembered , however , that
Duffy's Pure Mrlt Is tlu on y will-key which
will certainly accomplish this , and however
much dealers may talk to the contrary , It
alone should be taken.
The Bedstead ketps the keys of Sleep.
There Is only ono fashion In Sleep , but
there are many fashions In bedsteads. If
you make your choice with sole reference
to sleep , you can make no mistake. . You
will then become the owner of a brass bed
stead.
Light , strong , neat , clean , beautiful and
enduring who would not pay a small price
for such adjectives ?
Ik-member that for fifty years a brass
bedstead has been like a badge of nobility.
It has belonged to the atmosphere of good
breeding. The tradition still abides and the
proof of It may be seen In every home of
leisure and luxury.
It will harmonize with any scheme of
color or decoration ; It Is equally available
for a large or a small bedroom , and It Is ,
winter or summer , In the city or country ,
the one piece of furniture which Comfort
and Fashion both prescribe.
