At the earnest request of the Commercial
club the grrln men nf Omahn have de
termined to let that organisation rhamplm
th-lr cause In the fight for railroad rates
that will permit the r stnblishmcnt of a
grsln market hrre. Thla anion a de
rided upon at a meeting held In th ex
change room of tho rtoard of Trpde build
ing Pnturday afternoon. The executive
committee of the Commercial club has
asked the grain men lo meet with It Tues
day at noon for a discussion of the mat
ter, and everything -vill hang fire till thnt
time.
At the session Saturday the committee
appointed to confer with representatives
tf the rnllronds regarding the rate dis
crimination against Omaha reported hack
to the general body. Iterance of the new
arrangement made nlth the Commercial
club, whereby thnt body Is to take up the
fight, the report wa? mnde only In general
terms, the definite figures used In the con
ference with the railroad men r.ot being
brought out.
N. Merrlam ataled that tho committee
had on last Thursday met nt the Omaha
club with railway traffic otTielala aa fol
lows: J. H. Monroe, freight traffic man
ager of (he I'nlon l'aciflc railway; D. C.
Ives, general freight agent of the B. & M.:
Amos If. Merchant, assistant general
freight of the Fremont, Elkhorn ft Missouri
Valley railroad.
Ilallrond Men Arc C ordial.
"We met with a cordial reception," paid
Mr. Merrlam, "and held a long conference
-gome three hours. We succeeded in
showing to tho railroad men that th- dis
crimination against Omaha existed, but In
the light of their representations our griev
ances dwindled somewhat.
"The freight, men admitted the discrimi
nation, but said that they were Justified In
making a better rate to Kansas City and
other points than to Omaha because there
wasn't much grain used here In proportion.
They said that the present condition of
rates had existed a long time, and It would
be unreasonable to expect any sudden ex
treme change. The alteration must needs
be gradual.
"I am satisfied that the railroads, have no
animus against the city of Omaha, and I
believe they have no objection to helping
us out, provided tho Interests of the rail
roads are looked out for1."
All tho grain men seemed to feel that
their way to a grain market looked much
smoother now that the Commercial club
had ao heartily entered Into the proposi
tion. They feel that they are aot stand
ing alone now, and are hopeful of securing
their ends.
The meeting adjourned, subject to the
call of Chairman Peck, through the secre
tary, Mr. Holllngcr.

The elevator cable In the Gate City Tan
nery company's plant at Eaat Omaha
snapped Saturday morning and two men.
Homer Shearer and J. C. Henderson, were
precipitated from the third floor of the
building to the basement, while a tbtrd
employe, Charles Murphy, dangled at the
end of the cable, which he succeeded In
grasping, three stories from the ground
floor, , until help arrived. . .
Drs. Hobta and Hamilton found Shearer
to have suCered serious injuries and he
was removed to Wlae hospital. Three rib
on the left Bide of his body were fractured
and there were internal Injuries. He was
resting easily last night and his condition
is not thought to be critical. He is a eon
of Chief Clerk Shearer of the railway mall
service and Is 18 years old. He resides in
Dundee.
Henderson's injuries consisted of a double
facture of the left leg near the ankle.
The elevator had madoi a trip to the third
floor with a large load of pelts and the
return trip had Just beeu commenced when
the cables broke, the lift dropping three
stories, carrying the two men with it. The
elevator was Inspected a short time ago'
by an expert and was said to have been in
a safe condition. Prtor to the time the
accident occurred it had showed no signs'
of weakness.
Less than three dozen business men at
tended .he mass meeting yesterday after
noon at the city council chamber to dks
cuss the bill now before the ieglslature
pertaining to the consolidation of the city
and eounty governments. J. J. Breen was
chesen chairman and N. D. Mann was se
lected secretary of the meeting. W. H.
Green of the Omaha Real Estate exchange
eald that he bad been Invited to South
Omaha by a number of taxpayers who de
sired hlrn to speak on the bill. Mr. Green
read tne bill through and then explained
that the object of consolidation was to re
duce expenses by making one set of of
flrerm do for the entire county. To take
ffuch action, Mr. Green explained, there
will be necessary a ronstitutlonal amend
ment upon which all the people of Ne
braska would be entitled to vote. Furth'T.
he said, before a consolidation is affected
It will be necessary for. the county to vote
upon the proposition. The question was
explained in detail by Mr. Green, who si'd
that by such a change In the organization
of the city and county governments a sav
ing of between $300,000 and $100,010 a year
can be made.
A large percentage of those present ap
parently did not take kindly to the plan.
T. J. O'Nell said South Omaha wants to
be left alone. This sentiment was voiced
by quite a number. Others spoke along the
same lines es did Mr. O'Nell, and the re
sult was that tho meeting adjourned with
out any action bflng taken. Some regret
over the small attendance wad expressed,
but It was slated that the hour chosen was
a bad one for business men.
Ordering Material for Library.
Contractor J. H. We'se has ordered the
atono for the South Omaha library build
ing. This stone will come from Bedford,
Ind., and is of limestone formation. Con
tractor Welse estimates that It will take
6,000 cubic feet of stone for the wcrk. This
stone will be shipped from the quarry in
the rough and will be cut In Omaha, as
there U no facilities for cutting or sawing
atone In South Omaha. It Is the Intention
of Mr. Welae to get as much material on
the ground aa he possibly can before tho
frost Is out of the ground. As soon aa
spring opens a large fflYce of men will be
put to work on the building, as the con
tract calls for its completion within one
year from the signing of the contract.

Since Judge King has called the attention
of the council to the fact that more room
and better accommodations are needed at
the city jail, some of the members o tho
council have been Investigating. It was
found that the north room in tbe basement
of the city ball building is vacant and that
thla room can be secured for $7 a month.
This, it la stated, 'might V.e used for quar
ter for women- and children. In order to
fit the room properly an expenditure of
$175 would be necessary. Mayor KoutBky,
while heartily in favor of the movement,
says there is no money in any funds now
available for this purpose and he does not
see what can be done at the present time.

How often
are the
children
scolded and
many times
whipped
for wetting
the bed?
Did it ever
occur to
yoil that

be a reason
for this unplcasarW.ness ? The
doctor in charjreof Cramer
Chemical Coirmanv
laboratory could quickly explain to you that the
kidneys of a child, even a babe, could be out of
order as easily as those of a grown person. In
deed, with a lively child of nervous temperament it
is far more likely to be the case, and during .such
times they are innocent of any wilful neglect to
answer nature's demands, as 'nature does not
apprise them of her wishes. They are absolutely
powerless to prevent wetting themselves or the bed.
