(From a fJTwff Correspondent )
LINCOLN. July U.-(Snclal.)-Suit will
, be fllel In the supreme court for a man
damus to compel the Union Pacific Rail
way company to erect a public grain ele
vator at Shelby, Polk county. The ult
will be tiled by Frank Dunning- of that
town, who In interested with the Farmers'
, Business association of thst town. The
filing will probably be ma"de Wednesday,
when arrangement will be completed for
the Institution of the suit.
Hhoull the litigation be carried to ft
successful conclusion by the relator, the
railway' will be obliged to build an, ele
vator or storage house at Shelby which
will permit farmers, to ship their grain for
themselves. Should the movement suc
ceed there a precedent would be established
which would be followed In other com
munities. The petition, after ' reciting that there
ore three elevators in the town, nil of
which art- alleged to be in the grain trust.
Insists that they are aided by the favor
itism of . the railway to crush out com
petition of independent shippers. It Is
a'.leged that the farmers' association has
made an . effort to secure a site for an
elevator on the right-of-way, but this re
quest was refused, although there was
plenty of unused sidetrack on which it
might have been located. Then the asso
ciation made an effort to purchase one of
the three elevators already built and re
quested the assistance of the railway in
persuading the owner, the Omaha Elevator
company, to sell.
The petition, wh(ch is very voluminous,
Alleges that the railway company Instead
of 'Using its Influence to procure the sale
of the structure to the farmers, Induoed
the company, which had two elevators, to
sell one to the Westbrooke-Glbbon Oraln
company In order to avoid the appearance
of monopoly, and to make it Impossible
for the farmers to purchase. When they
propose! to build an elevator off the right-of-way
and have a sidetrack constructed
to It, the railway demurred.
TW piayer of the petition Is that the
company may be required to furnish
"aceq mte and necessary facilities, ad
vantages and elevator privileges and oppor
tunities as are required and suitable for
the propei- handling and shipping of grain."
Among other startling a'legatlons which
will he made in the. petition to be filed, is
one that the railway company is financially
Interested Ir. the elevators along Its line,
and for that reason refuses to render any
assistance or offer any facilities to inde
pendent competitors.
The relator alleges that 160 farmers liv
ing near . Shelby 'raise, an average of 400,
000 bushels ot' grain which they desire to
ship, without the intervention of the local
grain dealers. The local elevator owners
ore James Bell, Pavld City; tho Omaha
Elevator company and the Westbrooke
Gibbon company.

Btrnctarea Damaged, bat Omaha
Snatalns So Very Serious
Results.
An electrical storm, violent enough to
fairly shake substantial houses, struck
Omaha and vicinity about o'clock Monday
morning from the west. It came with the
same degree of suddenness that Candi
date Parker's manifesto omthe gold stand
ard proposition did to the! democratic na
tional convention ana prouueeu auvui me
same consternation.
The storm, was accompanied by terrific
lightning and thunder and ft driving rain.
The preceding part of the night had been
of extreme sultriness and windows were
left open In about every house in the city
to get a whiff of what little air was stir
ring, so when the storm came there' was a
hurrying to shut out the wind and rain
that came in roaring gusts. Tl whole
western firmament was ft vivid panorama
of electrical display, and the more timid
ones could pick out tornado and cyclone
clouds galore.
But there was no tornado nor cyclone.
The wind succeeded in doing considerable
damage, nevertheless. Shade trees were
broken down In many localities, frail chim
neys succumbed and a few frail structures
were blown over.
Some Incidents of the Storm.
The greatest damage done was to gardens
In the suburbs. . Tomato plants were blown
down, broken off and beaten Into the
ground and corn patches demolished. In
the vicinity of Florence, oats were blown
down and are badly lodged and cornfields
are in the same category of destruction.
Telegraph and telephone wlros were badly
disarranged and the electric light wires
went out of business, especially on the arc
circuits, during the height of the gale. A
large smoke stack at the Cudahy plant in
6outh Omaha was blown down, the am
monia tanks, broken and it looked for
awhile s if the establishment would have
to go out of business temporarily. How
ever, the damage has been repaired since
the storm and work has been resumed.

ten feet off the foundation by the force of
the wind, and will probably have to be torn
down and rebuilt, as it is in such condition
that it cannot be replaced upon the founda
tion. Soma Damage la South "Omaha.
An Inspection of the streets and alleys
In South Omaha yesterday by Street
Commissioner Troutan showed the storm
did not do nearly as much damage as ex
pected. The expense of making repairs
to the streets will not amount to over
1100. Shade trees all over the city were
badly demolished. In many portions of the
city flower beds were completely destroyed.
Awnings in the business portion of the
city suffered, many being totally destroyed.
For ft time today the telephone service
was greatly Interrupted, especially In Al
bright and the northern part of the city.
Linemen were at work early straightening
out the tangle of wire and the expecta
tion is that by night a majority of the
lines Will be In working order again. Two
large plate glass windows In the store of
C. M. Schneider ft Sons, Twenty-Fourth
and N streets, were blown in. AH of the
goods In theee two windows were badly
damaged by water. When the storm was
at Its height fire was discovered In small
two room house at Thirty-Sixth ftnd Q
streets. The building was unoccupied at
the time and burned to the ground before
the fireman could save It. The loss on the
building, which was owned by P. C. Cald
