Auditorium Directors Pronioto Ifaas
for Active CampmlxB to Hals
Final Balaace.
Auditorium directors met yesterday In
the Hoard of Trade building and compared
results of the canvas for $1 BuhBcrlpUoni
which was Ix-gTJn early In the week. The
members eiweesod themselves as well
pleased with the showing. Monday the
publiration of subscribers to this IJO.00O will

this last sum of new stock needed for the

Oraln rates In Nebraska and Kansas
again have suffered a r -lapse. The Mis
souri Pacific Is the latest line to Mir up
trouble for almost everyone concerned.
The trouble Is caused by that line serving
notice that It Intends to haul grain from
all Interior points on Its line In Kaunas
and Nebraska to tho St. Louis market for
S cents per l'O ixmnds loss than the exist
ing rates from the samo points to Chicago.
As a result of this announcement the
Burlington has nerved notice that It will
take the same action.
The new rates mnd public! by theso
two lines mean that jrrnln will be hauled
from Missouri river points to St. Louis
at 1 cent per PO for wheat and nothing for
corn. In other words, the local rates from
Interior points to the Missouri river on
corn have been made to apply to St. Louis
and the same rates on wheat have been
made to apply with 1 cent added.
This action, It Is said, will have the effect
of taking all grain which originates on
the lines of the Missouri Pacific In Kansas
and Nelwaska away from both Omaha and
Kansna City, and will consequently be
another blow to the local Oraln exchange.
The same Is true of points on tho Hur
llngton tributary to the two cities named,
but the Hurllnjrtfpti hes gime only so far In
following the lead of the Gould line as it
was forced to do. That Is, It has only
cut the rates to St. Iouls from points
where It Is In competition with tho Mis
souri rncltlc. Rates from all other sta
tions hn.ve been allowed to remain as they
were before the cut.
Missouri Pacific's Excuse.
The argument Is made by the Missouri
Pacific in support of Its action that very
little grain comes Into this city over Its
rails under the most favorable circum
stances, and that It Is considered not a
feeder for this city, but an outlet. This
Is said to be true, but the damage to
Omaha does not arise from the cut made
by the Missouri Paclflo alone, but from
tfie effect of the cut upon the Burlington,
which Is an Omaha feeder and which Is
likewise compelled to make reductions. It
Is contended by the Missouri Pacific that
there has always been a B-cent differential
existing between the fit. Louis and Chicago
markets, and that this differential Is an
equitable difference and should exist, but
that, owing to the rate war which has
been In effect between the east bound lines,
this differential has been wiped out by tho
Northwestern. This places the two cities
on a parity, so far as grain, rates are
concerned, and gives Chicago an unfair
advantage.
In speaking of this stand a local railroad
man said:
'The Missouri Pacific might make thlB ar
gument hold good were It not for the fact
that notwithstanding the two cities are
on an equality In rate the bulk of the
grain has been going to St. Louis. During
the past two months about IB per cent of
Nebraska grain hus found a market In
Chlcugo and about 60 per cent ' In St.
Louis, and this, mind you, when no differ
ential existed between the two places. If
we were to take tho Missouri Paolflo as a
basis wo would find that almost 100 per
cent of the grain originating' on that line
has gone to the St. Louis market during
I the same period. From this It will be seen
that there was no necessity for a cut In
the rate to protect the Bt Louis market,"
Ilenrflt These Tivo Lines.
In regard to the effect of the cut upon
the Northwestern and Great Western this
samo official said:
"It will be a good thing for these two
line, as It will divert some traffic from
them which they might otherwise have to
haul under the present rates to the east at
a loss. Tho Great Western will be bene
fited more than the Northwestern, for tho
latter line Is getting Its local rates Into
Omaha for the through haul, while the
Oreat Western has to take It out of this
city on Its proportionals of 4 and 3 cents
in case the grain Is offered It, which every
railroad man knows Is a money losing
oireratlon."
It la the opinion among railroad men
that the Northwestern has reached the end
of Its string in the rate war and that It
will announce no further reductions In the
through rates to the east. Traffic officials
How are awaiting the next move with an
expectant air and are hoping that some
thing will ba done to secure a restoration
and stop the loss.
The Rook Island announces that It will
meet tho last Great Western cut in the
Chicago rates, effective March T. These
rates are 4 cents on wheat and 3 cents on
corn. The Kock Island is the first Una to
tneet the out, which was made over a week
ago.

ST. I.OUI8, Mo., March 4. The recent

A Home Company.
The Trans-MlsslsslppI Mutual Fire as
sociation, one of the oldest mutual com
panies doing a general Insurance business
In the state, was organized by the business
men of Omaha In 1X9H.
At that time there were only two com
panies doing a general Are Insurance busi
ness In Nebraska: the Home Fire of Omaha
and the Farmers and Merchants of Lincoln,
and to those Interested 1n the organisation
of this compnny It seemed an Imperative
necessity that some other company should
be organised to assist In carrying Insur
ance for the business men of Nebraska,
where the control and handling of the com
pany would be In the hands of the Insurers
and to a small extent keep the mony paid
for Insurance In our own state.
This company has met with uniform suc
cess since the organization and has always
been able to save the policy holders from B
to !S per cent of their premium and pay
all losses and expenses, and Is recognised
today as one of the substantial institu
tions of the state.

Tooth Truth
Plainly Told
For a long time the people of Omaha have noticed the ad
vertisements of cheap dentistry. Many thought it would be
economy to take advantage of these "wonderful inducements,"'
and have done so to their cost. The patients not only lost
their money, but their teeth were in worse shape than when
they started. They know better now, and realize that a fair
price must bo paid to secure good work. Our prices are
moderate and no better work is obtainable at any price.
