The action of the Western Trunk klne comnilttt-o at Its December meeting rolatlvo to a pronounced advance In the rates for Blilrthionts of cotton pleco goods has been rescinded. As exclusively announced In Thu Boo shortly after the adjournment of the West ern Trunk Une committee the rate-makers decided to apply a new tariff on cotton piece goods between Chicago , Mississippi river and Missouri river points. H was their Inten tion to make the new rates effects o shortly after the opening of the new > ear. An advance - vance of 10 cents per 100 pounds on the ex isting rate for shipments of this nature be tween Omaha and Chicago , I'corla , Missis sippi river points , St. Paul and Minneapolis wag contemplated. In all other Western Trunk l.lno committee territory It was planned to apply the straight second class echcdulc Instead of the commodity rate. Such a sweeping advance In rates on ono of the staples of thu dry goods trade will not bo attempted , lion ever , and the present rates will remain effective As soon as the dry goods manufacturers and Jobbers became nwaro of the Intention of the railroad com panies regarding this matter they Jolntd In nn united protest against such action. The effectiveness of this opposition is plainly ovlncLil In the abandonment of the contem plated Increase In lateu on the pait of the railroads. Thu attitude of the railroads In the mat ter of retaining the present rates on cotton pleco goodH , following closely the rescinding of the piopohed ndvanio In r.Ues for the shipment of tock cattle between points east and west of the Mississippi ilvcr , ban developed In response to united action on Iho part of shippers dlicctl } Interested. It hii shown what strength the shippers pos sess when they die disposed to unify It and act as a whole In opposition to any i.illroud measure which seems unjust The prece dent established in these two Instances will bo used to good advantage by other classes of Hhlppers in the event of the railroads at tempting to arbitrarily form upon them anything of nn unreasonable naturo.

Marked Improvement in the sen Ire of the Union I'aclllo'n western branches the Oregon gen Short Line and the Oiegon Hallway nnd Navigation company are contemplated for the coming jear. A confereme of the tialllc olllclals of these two lines was held In Salt Lake City this week for the purpose of con sidering the details of proposed operations. Henjumln Campbell , tialllc manager of the Oregon Hallway and Navigation company , slated while In Salt Lake that the passenger tralllc between Huntington and the coast has increased so greatly by the opening of the Capo Nome gold fields In Alaska and the de velopment of the gold and alher raining in dustries In Oregon that has been definitely decided to double the train service between Portland and Chicago as soon as the tra\ol In thu spring is sulllclently large to warrant It. The Oregon Short Line nnd the Oregon Hallway and Navigation company have Jointly ordered $300,000 worth of new equip ment , consisting of baggage and mail ears , ehalr cars , day coaches and dining cars , the contract calling for Its delivery early In the bpilng. This equipment will bo used In anew now train which will probably operate on the two lines between Granger and Portland. Mr. Campbell stated that a laigo amount of money has been expendul by the Oregon Hallway and Navigation company In the lant jear In Improving the rolling stock , straight ening out the roadbed between Poitland anil The Dalles jnd replacing the old llfty-slx- ponnd rails with new eighty-pound steel. ; \iirtlit 'N < Tii IIiiiploj < Dl CIUCAOO , Jan. 1 Judge Olbbons today decided the habeas corpus proceedings be tween the elty and the Northwestern Cle- vated Railroad company by discharging fiom custody the motoiman and conductor of the roud who were arrested Tuesday for attempting to run a train after the city au thorities had Issued orders forbidding such action. The court , however , ruled on but ono charpe , that of criminal carelessnct-s on the pait of the employes In operating the train when the road was In an unsafe condi tion. Judge flibbons decided that there was no Justification for their arrest The other charge , that the company was at fault for operating ll road without first securing .1 permit to use electricity , vvai , left for later disposition Attornejs for the road announced that an Injunction would bo applied for Immediately to prevent the city fiom Intorfeilng with the road in Its further running of trains. hater In the day a settlement of the dis pute was leached nt u conference between city ofllclaltt and representatives of the ele vated roads.

Harry Kohl , employed In this city as a government clerk In the army headquarters , strove in police conit Thursday afternoon to have his son , Frank Kehl , s.cn' to the reform school on the charge of iconlgl- blllty. This ima has already one son In that Institution and In the matter of rais ing children acknowledges his Incompetency. According to the father's own story there Is nothing criminal whatever against the boy and his greatest offense lies In running away from home The father was unable to understand any reason for Ibis act on the part of thn lad and conveyed the idea that It was simply because the boy was of a depraved nature and found life unpleasant for him in the kind , loving atmosphere of his paternal domicile. According to the boy , who Is a bright , honest-appearing lad of about 13 , the father has been brutal In the treatment of his children. "I must be at home by exactly 4 o'clock every afternoon , " said the boy , "and go to the saloon for my father's beer and nearly every tlmo he Undo some icasoti for kicking and whipping me" The question ns to whether tlie father will be allowed to shift the expense of lalslug the boy on the state and whether the reform school , the boy's home or the street Is the best place for a lad to grow to manhood will bo decided by Judge Gor don this morning at 9 o'clock.

The cellar Is entered by means of a. trap door In the kitchen This was used by Mr nidrldgo shortly after supper. He was followed to the cellar by the family cat nnd when ho returned the cat refused to come when called , and he left open the trap door to allow the animal access to the upper part of the Louse. Mrs. Kldrlclgo later walked through the kitchen In the dark and stepped Into the open door. Her fall was about twelve feet , and although her Injuries are serious they will probably not prove fatal.

HoOmaha's largo retail establishments are systematizing thclt advertising and re ducing it to a business basis was emphasized the othci day In .1 conversation by a. well- known advertising manager for ono of them. "Newspaper advertising Is the only kind of advertising that the retail merchant can icsort to and make sine that bo Is getting returns on his money. Our store depcndb now entirely upon the newspapers for Its ad vertising. We have been getting to this for i some time , but It was Hist put Into com- i pleto effect last year , when I cut out all the ' slde-lbbiio lines from the advertising list. Last year I did not place a binglo advertise ment for my store except with legitimate newspapers. I turned down all the hotel blotters , theater programs , street car pla cards , chinch weeklies , bill-posters , slgu- carrlerb and everv catch-penny scheme. I am sure I saved the house not less than $5,000 or $0,000 $ , and that they did not lose a single sale by it. " 1 do not mean that our advertisements do ' not appear In many of these publications , but they are Inserted for other reasons per sonal , charltablo or public spirit. When their solicitors como to me and ask for ad vertising to help the church or to till up some program for an entertainment given for the benefit of some society or lodge , I politely I insist that advertising is business and tell ! them that If they want a donation or con- they should see the head of the es tablishment , who will always respond with whatever he thinks their object deserves. "Has our btore suffered any by this policy ? Not a bit. On the contrary , we have ele vated the tone of our patronage. Our custo mers arc all Intelligent peoplo. They read the newspapers , they know that we moke our announcements through the newspapers and they watch for them nnd we can trace the results Immediately. "Of course every Htore Is not situated ex- i actly as wo are When an establishment Is I trying to build up a trade it may be advis able to experiment with all sorts of devices to attract attention , but after business Is firmly founded what Is wanted Is to hold customers and expand the trade circle. Kor this nothing can compete with a newspaper ns an effcctlvo medium. "Oh , yes , we sometimes entertain our cus tomers with music on special occasions and glvo away hotivenlrs on opening days and during the holidays Wo also maintain 'good ' , attiactlve signs , but the mainstay of I the adveitlblng Is that which appears In the newspaperb and we would not think of re turning to the old sjEtem of Indiscriminate distribution of our advertising fund.
