AGAINST THE MIDDLE MAN

of Transportation Companies.

fidwnrrt Davis , general manager of the
Allan Freight , Passenger and Royal Mall
lines ; J. Francis Lee , district freight and
passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific , and
S. A. Bent , traveling passenger agent of
the latter road , form a trio of railroaders
Who came Into the city from Chicago yester
day morning. They are en route to O. den on a
regular trip , and will spend the next month
along the Overland route.
In speaking of the steamship business to
n Dec reporter , Mr. Davis said : "Steam
ships circles are enlivened these days by the
campaign that we have Just Inaugurated
against what are known as the middlemen.
The middlemen whoso trail we are on at
present are the New York brokers who have
grown wealthy from funds that properly
belong to the rnllioad and the steamship
companies. For years they have been bull-
Oozing both the railroads anil the steam
ship lines , but I think their days arc num
bered.
"It seems almost Incredible , but It Is
a fact that these middlemen have been able
to secure belter rates from the railroads
than wo could. They have gone from one
steamship company to another , forcing them
to meet i eductions and kept the rates down
to a point where there has been no money
In them for anyone save the brokers. They
have done the hame thing with the railroads.
For Instance a broker would have a party
of 300 , Ho would come along and get con
trol of fifty more passengers who were
coming Into the country by ono of our
steamships. With control of these 350 he
could go to the railroads anil secure con
siderably lower rates than I could for the
party of fifty. He has traded back and forth
among the railroads and the steamship lines
until ho has grown to be a powerful factor.
The middlemen have all made money ; many
of them have put away fortunes In the past
lew year * . Some of those In Now York
make over $10,000 n year , and I have four In
mind now whose yearly Income Is nearer
$20,000 each. There Is one who owns and
enjoys a most elegant castle In Holland.
"The middleman has long been a barnacle.
Ho has destroyed business for both the rail
roads and the steamship lines , and ho has
about driven out ot business the regular
steamship agents In cities throughout the
United States. This ho has accomplished
by a well-organized corps of agents , gen
erally saloon keepers and small grocers.
"Not only have they played havoc with
regular rates , but they helped to bring In
an undesirable class of Immigrants , " added
Mr. Lee of the Canadian Pacific. "Thu
brokers have been so crazy for business that
they started over any and all kinds of
people. It has never occurred to them to
Inquire whether the passengers they gath
ered on the other side would make good
citizens for Canada and the United States.
The railroads desire as heartily as do the
steamship lines the weeding out of the
middleman.
"There was an Important meeting on this
matter In New York City Tuesday , " con
tinued Mr. Davis. "We aio going to have
united action on the part ot all the eastern
trunk lines , all the Atlantic steamship
lines , and the Southern Pacific and the
" Canadian Pacific railroads. steamship
circles we have what Is known as the North
Aii < . : itlc conference , nnd In It are repre
sented all steamship lines. This Is the or
ganization that called Tuesday's meeting.
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passen
ger association , which Includes all your
western roads , went on to attend the meet
ing. The railroads are desirous of cooperating
ing In this matter. They want to deal dl
rectly with us , and I am sure the steam
ship companies prefer to deal directly with
them. There Is no earthly reason why an
outsider should be ntilu to go to n railroad
nnd secure a better rate for a party than
can the steamship line which brings the
party Into this country.
"Tho North Atlantic conference has
drawn up a set of rules covering the case
quite fully. They will become effective
at once , and I feel positive that they wll
have the desired effect. In the steamship
business , you must understand , there arc
three seasons. The first Is the fall season
for outward passengers , then In the early
spring there Is the prepaid season whlcl
brings In plenty of Immigrants , and fol
lowing this Is the regular summer tourlsl
business. Our design Is to put the new
rules that debar the middlemen from trans
actions between railroad and steamship
companies Into operation at once , so that
they will have their effect on the eastbound
business of the qomlng fall season. "

of Omaha. Ilcforo going , however , he dis
posed of three cases that have been on the
calendar of the master's court for some
time.
time.Ho
Ho decided favorably on a Judgment
against the receivers of the Union Pacific
In favor of William D. Urn of Kansas , the-
amount Involved being $3,000 , In 1889 a
little child of Mr. and Mrs. Uro crawled
out of some weeds In Govo county , Kansas ,
and wandered on the railroad track. A train
came along and killed the child. That's the
reason Mr. Uro will got the $3,000.
Judge Cornish also recommended the pay
ment of $400 to Edward II. Scott , fhe Judg
ment being the result of one of the Denver
Pacific refund cases. The Judgment was for
money spent In perfecting titles of lands
purchased.
In the case of I'hlllp D. Dunn , who wanted
$300 from the receivers of the Union Pa
cific on account of another Denver Pacific
refund case , the master decided against
Dunn. Ho recommended that the judg
ment bo not paid , as such payment would
bo Inconsistent with n recent decision of
the court of uppuala covering the legal In
tricacies of thu matter.

To help swell the attendance at the com
ing state fair the Union Pacific has suggested
to the Western Passenger association that
all railroads In Nebraska bo permitted to
make a $5 blanket rate from Nebraska
points to Omaha and return for Tuesday and
Wednesday of state fair week. A vote of
the various roads within the association will
bo taken , ami the decision as to the matter
will soon bo announced , It's a bet ot
two to ono. or ot United States against
Mexican dollars , that the proposition will
bo.turned dowr by the association and that
the Union Pacific will then declare Its inten
tion to put In the blanket rate of $5 anyway
The granting of a blanket rate of $5 moans
that everyone In the state of Nebraska ran
on Tuesday and Wednesday of state fair
week come Into Omaha and return home
for $5 , or less. Where the regular one-faro
rate to Omaha It less than $5 the former
.Will be good for the round trip. It will be
seen that the blanket rate will bo especially
beneficial to pcoplu living lu the western
part of the state. Of course , thesu people
may coma Into Omaha and return to thrlr
Jinnies on other days of the fair for the
* n-fjular one-fare rate In effect between their
homes and Omaha ,

Gunder Gunderson of South Omaha has
applied to the courts to protect him from
its better half , Mary. His petition asking
for a divorce was filed yesterday morning.
Gunder and his Mary were united In the
aoly bonds of wedlock In the beautiful
month of May , 1S9G. The dearest wish ot
Gundcr's heart , according to his petition ,
was that his home might be made a place
of sweet repose from the trials and troubles
of Uic busy world , but his fondest hopes
were wrecked within n few days after the
wedding ceremony had been performed.
IIo Informs the court that Immediately after
the wedding his beloved wife exhibited a
cross , spiteful and morose disposition which
previous acquaintance had not Indicated.
She took advantage of every opportunity ,
so ho alleges , to abuse , vilify and maltreal
him , and went so far as to strike him in
the face with her fist. Instead of being a
haven of rest , he says his homo was a place
to bo shunned.
All of these actions , Gunder alleges , were
entirely without provocation on his part
an ho had made every effort to gratify the
slightest wish , expressed or Implied , of his
bride , and had dutifully poured Into her lap
on every pay day the wages received for
his dally toll , besides paying debts con
tracted by his wife before their marriage
In return for his devotion he , says shi
charged him with being untrue to her am
accused him of associating with women o
the lowest class , all of which ho denies.
The petitioner Informs the court that
paticnco ceased to bo a virtue on Augus
11 , this year , when his wlfo viciously as
saulted him with a largo glass bowl , which
she hurled at his head. IIo dodged the heavy
missile , but was struck on the hand , the
howl wounding that member and cutting a
largo gash In It. She next seized a broon
- and began to belabor him with It , but h
wrested It from her grasp , and she thci
picked up a chisel and made an assault
upon him. At this ho proceeded on the
theory that discretion was the better part
of valor , and ran out of the house , A
crowd of the neighbors , attracted by the
nolso. gathered outside the house , and whllo
the husband was explaining the situation ,
the wlfo appeared at the door and heaved
a brick at him , IIo dodged the missile and
his energetic better half secured a cup full
of carbolic acid and threw the contents at
him through a window screen. IIo jumped
and succeeded In escaping the flying acid by
about two feet. IIo says his wlfo then en
tertained the assembled neighbors by swear
ing nt him and threatening to kill him.
Ho alleges that he Is In fear ot his wlfo
and thinks she will moke good her threat
to kill him. IIo asks that he may be di
vorced from her and alleges that she has
consldciablo property , whllo ho has none.
She is abundantly ublo to support herself on
the proceeds of her property , whereas ho
alleges that ho has no income except what
ho earns at his work ,

that a cousin of Tlcrnoy's Already had
captured the heart of ono .of Mrs. Tlerncy's
daughters. Mrs , Tlerney also observed
conduct which did not please her , and forbade -
bade Dcvcney the right to USD her front

life known as "sweet sixteen" and contrived
to sec Dcvcney more 01 less , and this In
spite of tht fact that a woman named Nora
Warren hod "started n replevin action In
Justice court to recover divers rings ami
amulets which Dc\cney had obtained from
her. The ardent love of this young mls-j
would not permit her to throw overboard
the choice of her nffcctloin , although In
the course of the replevin suit she was
forced to yield up to the custody of the law
the rlngo which hi > r lover hnil placed upon
her fingers , an-1 the biooch which he swore
should bo hers. The Warren woman re
covered these articles , but the1 happy pair
stole over to Omaha and callid on
Judge Baxter of the county court for
a. permit to enter the bonds of wedlock. It
became necessary to malco the customary
cath as to ago , which Dcvcney did. and thu
two were married on thu spot , hurrying
awny to South Omaha to spend a s'iprt '

ncys. In n few days Uovcncy and his bride

to settle down and view the serious side of
llfo and try his luck is a painter. Mrs.
Tlrrncy got track of the runaway couple
and tried to open up n correspondence. She
sent money to her daughter and tried to
Induce her to confide her woes to her mother ,
for from what she had seen ot Devcncy she
was sure that there were woes Innumera
ble In the neighborhood of the young couple
She even made a visit to thu homo of JUT

eptlon was as cold as an Arctlu breeze. She
also became convinced that her daughttr
vns hypnotized , or something ot that seri

and she Bcemcd to care for nothing , not
von her mother. The cupboard was empty
and Mrs. Tlcrney sajs she could not find

painters are supposed to do. This soUlo'l
matters , and on returning home she had

The diflercncc between knowing and guessing
The difference between certainty and doubt
The difference between a Gitaranttc and a prom
ise that's the difference between "The Ne
braska" and other shoe store ? . No need to
be an expert to buy shoes at "The Nebraska.
No need to know anything about shoes.
Pick out the style you fancy , pay the
price you wish and get a new pair or
your money back if they don't wear.
That's one reason you should buy your shoes of
"The Nebraska. " Another reason is that we
save you anywhere from 250 to 51.25 on the pair
you purchase. For several years we have been
advertising and selling our famous Goodyear
Welt shoes for $2.50 and we have never seen a
shoe store yet that could sell it at less than $3 50.
We want a thousand men to test the truth of that
one statement. The way to do it is to get ac
quainted with "The Nebraska" Shoe Depart
ment Men's shoes only , We'd sell ladies shoes
if we could guarantee 'em.
