LINCOLN , Jan. 26. ( Special. ) Secretary
of State Porter In a candldaxu lo succeed
Congressman John S. Robinson of the Thirl
district , who Is now serving his first term
In the lower branch of congress. This Is
taken as an explanation of Mr. Porter's nc-
tlon In demanding the resignation of Secre
taries Laws , Dahlman and EJgcrlon of the
Hoard of Transportation. Had the secretary
of state pursued the usual course and nub-
tnlttcd his proposed resolution to the Trans
portation Hoard It would not have reached
the ears of Iho public , but by musing Its
publication In the popocratlc prcfs lip ha.i
accomplished his purpose , whl h was simply
to gain notoriety as n foundation f r his
campaign for the congressional nomination.
H IH the unanimous opinion at the utato
hbuso and among poporrntlc potltlc'ans In
the city that Mr. Porter haa made a serious
mistake nnd that his resolution will bo votad
down by the board us noon an It Is read.
"Mr. Porter may bo egotl.stlcal enough to
believe that by pursuing such tattles IIP can"
run Robinson out of bis Job at the end cf his
first term , " said a tnan at the state house
who stands within the Inner circle ; of the
populist atnto central committee , "but If ho
does there will have to bo n remarkable
change of sentiment. The publication of
such a resolution as that Is enough to kilt
any man politically. There l.i undoubtedly
a strong feeling against Robinson In the
Third district nnd It Is quite possible that ho
will bo defeated for renomlnatlon , but you
can put It down an nil assured fact that our
fellows will not nominate a fool. The stand
taken by Robinson In voting for Polygamlst
Roberts on the preliminary billets has had
the effort of arousing considerable opposi
tion toward him nnd besides Robinson him
self established the ono term precedent when
ho defeated Maxwell after ho had served
only ono term In congress. "
Cornell Crltlel en IlltolieorU.
Speaking of the attitude of the World-
Herald Auditor Cornell today said : "A
paper Is judged where It stands by what It
prints. The World-Herald no longer defends
Bryan nnd silver. I have no doubt that
Hitchcock Is looking forward to the sc-nator-
Bhlp , but bo certainly will have nothing to
base his candidacy on. The sting of In
gratitude , It seems to me , Is the real cause
of his attack upon the secretaries of the
Board of Transportation. You may call a
man a knave or a fool and In this case I
would call Mr. Hitchcock n knave , for that
Is the most charitable way of looking at It. "
Wilbur F. Bryant of Hartln'gton Is au

WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. The senate com-
mlttco on commerce today gave a hearing
to representatives of a number of business
organizations throughout the country In sup
port of the bill to amend the Interstate com
merce law. The first statement was made
by Frank Barry of Milwaukee. Ho Is secre
tary of the National Millers' association and
the accredited representative of the National
League of Industrial Associations. He con-
mended the pending bill , saying that It had
bctn framed with a view to doing Justice to
bcth the shipper and carrier. Ho condemned
the present law , saying that It had become
Impotent and valueless and the Interstate
Commerce commission was nothing moro
than a moot court.
In reply to questions * rom Senator Tlll-
man Barry said the Standard Oil and Sugar
trusts and the largo flouring mills of the
northwest and grain elevator Interests were
not co-operating In this movement. He had
no direct Information on the subject of fa
voritism , but he called attention to the recent -
cent cbango of freight classification made by
the rallroadH , which , ho said , left carload
rates on oil practically where they were ,
while It raised the rate on fractional car
load rates from 200 to 300 per cent. It was
not difficult to see that this was In the In
terest of the Standard Oil company. Barry
expressed the opinion that the Minneapolis
millers were receiving discriminatory rates
from the railroads. Barry also made com
plaint of the discrimination by the railroads
In favor of wheat for export as against flour
for export. Ho thought the discrimination
was duo to the fact that many of the rail
road men were largo owners In the elevators.
In InttTPKt of MlHor * .
Augustine Gallagher of St. Louis , commis
sioner of the millers' national association ,
spoke especially of the Interests of the mill
ers In the proposed legislation. Ho said that
the railroads were not content with con
trolling the mines nnd the forests of the
country , but that they were now attempt
ing to control the ballots of the people along
their lines. He contended that the railroad
systems of the middle west , so far ns the
grain interests are concerned , are practically
parceled out by large firms In Chicago and
other largo cities.
Gallagher , In response to an Inquiry from
Chairman Cullom , said ho firmly believed
the adoption of the amendment proposed by
the National Board of Trade would produce
rceults immensely beneficial to the whole
people. Ho said that the exportation of
wheat from the United States last year was
abcut 1-18,000,000 bushels , possibly 60 per
cent of which went to the British Isles. The
labor cost of producing Hour , he said , was
something more than 20c a barrel , and of
CCITBO that amount was lost to the labor of
this country on the exported wheat. In an
swer to a question from Chandler Gallagher
said that the National Millers' association
nnd the National Board of Trade were favor-
aHc to euch legislation as would rcstoro
practically an organization similar to the
recent Joint Traffic association.
Cliniidlcr'N I'olalcil < luery.
"You are ha'-e- today , " said Senator Chand-
! ' . "to advocate a' railroad1 trust with
$1,100,000,000 capital. Is It'not ' In effect a
fact that you propose to organize a gigantic
railroad trust which Is. to abolish all com-
uatltlon In traffic rates ? "
"As a member of the National Millers' as
sociation and of the National Board of
Trade , I deny that I have any such Inten
tion. I do not and they do not advocate
anything of the kind , " replied Gallagher.
"You understand , I take It , " said Chand
ler , "that the great mass of shippers want
an organization similar to the old Joint
Traffic association ? "
"They do , " replied Gallagher. "If the
resolution adopted by the National Board of
Trade decs not convoy that Idea , I ask this
committee to prepare ono that will. "
"Well , " said Chandler , "some of us
politicians cannot understand why the Na
tional Board of Trade and the National
Millers' association should dcslro the estab
lishment of a railroad trust , the Idea o.
which Is to crush railway competition. "
"Wo do not want to crush competition , "
replied Mr. Gallagher , "and what we ask
will not accomplish such an end. "
"You want , then , " inquired Senator
Allen , "to authorize the railroads to main
tain rates without the pooling of the rall-
rcads ? "
"That's It. "
"Well , " said Allen , "that's another name
for the same thing. "
< ! Ivp HntcN to Wheat Shipper * .
E. O. Stannard of St. Louis , a flour man
ufacturer , stated that the railroads for years
had been giving rates to wheat shippers in
discrimination against the Hour manufac
turers.
"ThUj discrimination IB so great , " ho sajd ,
"that the British flour manufacturer can
rnako Hour from American wheat at least
18 cents n barrel cheaper than the same

In conclusion Mr. Stannard stated that
there v.-ns nothing in the proposed amendment -
ment which would enable the railroads to
consolidate or pool their Interests.
E. P. Wilson of Cincinnati , nccretary of
the National Association of Manufacture ,
oald it was essential that the Interstate
ecmmerco law bo so amended that the
Interstate Commerce commission would have
Eonio vitality nnd ho nblo to do something
definite. Ho believed t'jat the commission
ought to have authority to htep in between
the railroads nnd shippers and settle dis
putes until the question could he adjudi
cated by the courts.
Ho did not approve of the Idea of permit
ting the Interstate Commerce commission to
fix the rates of railroad ? . That would he
an Insane notion , In his opinion.

letter to Dr. Hartman says :
"I uiinnut hilt feel ohliued to ext end you my iierNonnl tliimk * for my

Every person who has had la grippe dur
ing : the last year should take a course ot
Pe-ru-na. No ono need expect perfect re
covery unless they do so. The grippe has
produced catarrhal Inflammation of the
whole mucuous membrane , and good health
Is Impossible until these arc restored to a
normal condition. This Pe-ru-na will do.
A great many remedies have been , sug
gested for this condition from time to time ,
but Po-ru-na appears to bo the only
remedy that has any substantial valueIn
these cases. It has stood the test of forty
yearn' experience and still occupies the
unlquo position of being the leading ( If not
the only ) specific remedy for the after
effects of la grippe.

Mr. John II. Johnson , Prln. Belle Haven
high school , and editor of "Farmer and
Fisherman , Belle Haven , Vn. , In a recent
letter to Dr. Hartman , says :
"I was taken with la grippe on Decem
ber 19 , ISttS. I began to recuperate In ono
week , hut took a relapse and was In bed
several weeks , during which tlmo other
Borfous symptoms developed , such as heart
trouble , throat nnd lung trouble , cxtr.cmo
weak chest , and a prostration of my nerv
ous and muscular systems.
"I became emaciated , weak , and was
troubled every day nnd night with profuse
sweating. 1 as well as my friends became
hopolcss and thought that my days on
earth were few. I had begun to have ray
bi.slncds flxtd up nnd prepared for the
worst.
"This trouble went on for about tw-o
month ! ' , nnd though 1 had the dolly aervlco
of n skilled physician and had taken nu
Abundance of medicine , I gradually grew
worse. Al this Juncture ono of your do-
Bcrlptlvo pamphlets found Its wny to me
and attracted my attention.

"An tuon as 1 read > our book 1 thought
Pe-ru-na was the thing I needed. I sent
for three bottlrn. nnd though I had bren
practically voiceless for about eleven
wrt'kn , less than two bottles of your
mrdlclno catifcd my voice to return
and healed my throat and vocal organs. I
nt once began to take on flesh and grow
stronger and the symptoms gradually be
gan to disappear. After the third bottle
night sweats left inn nnd when I had taken
the fourth bottle 1 weighed 145 pounds.
In my extreme ulcknesa I must have been
reduced to 12S pounds ; now I weigh IRS ,
and nil the summer I have enjoyed good
health.

years ago 1 was taken down with la grippe ,
which finally developed Into nervous weak

I had all the symptoms of a weakened

"Also my stomach troubled me ; after

In.my . stomach llko a lump of lead whlrh ,
