A ehsngs la the manner of Axing chsrg-ea
for switching freight curs that is of vital
Intereat to th people of Omaha and to
those railroads having; no terminal facili
ties here la la contemplation by the officials
of the Union Pacific, Burlington and North
western roads. The ofllclals of these roads
contemplate changing the present rate of
$2 for each car switched to a rate based on
the tonnage. While no one will say posi
tively just whAt Increase the proponed
changs will make. It Is generally believed
by railroad men It would mean 'a charge
of from $1S to 18 per car, an Increase
from $2.
The change will effect only those roads
entering the city that have no terminal
facilities, but are dependent upon the three
roads having terminals to switch cars to
their own private tracks, and those ship
pcrs who do business with the nonterminal
owning roads.
At Merer of Bis; On pa.
The officials of the three roads that pro
pose to make tha change will meet today
and formally act on the matter, and
It Is generally understood that the charge
will be agreed' upon. Railroad men assert
the roads having no terminal the Illinois
Central, the Great Western and the Rook
Island are at the mercy of the three big
roads and should the proposed new plan
be adopted they will have to accede. This
will nec&altate them Increasing their
freight rates to. meet the heavy Increase
or to stand the loss occasioned by the la
crease. Heretofore It has been customary for the
roads owning terminals to charge other
roads entering Omaha 2 for each car that
Is switched, but this charge was fixed when
freight cars on tha average had a capacity
of 24.000 to 25.000 tons Now, then, In Justi
fication of the proposed increase the three
roads named claim that sinoe making their
first contract the capacity of all freight
cars has been materially Increased until
-A j i.nii:cijr uul WI1UBO Capa
city will reach 40,000 tons and It Is not un
common for them to handle cars with a
capacity of 80,000 tons. For this reason
they .hold the nonterminal-owning roads
shpuld pay larger rate for switching.
' Aa to the Fronts.
By the proposed plan It is pointed out
tha Union Pacific and the Burlington would
profit more than would the Northwestern,
as the latter road has not the terminal fa
cilities owned by the former and does not
do as great a switching business. For that
reason It IS by no means sure that the
Northwestern will not balk when the meet
ing Is called and refuse to enter 'into the
proposed agreement.. '
The only hope the roads effected have of
balking the plan is In the Commercial club,
and It is suld this organization will be
asked .toriMe Its good offices in preventing
the proposed change.
Though the matter has been kept secret
by the officials of the Union Paclflc, Bur
lington and the Northwestern, It has been
under consideration for some tlma mil it
Is said the details of the change all have
been arranged and it la only necessary now
to hold tha formal meeting and ratify tha

CLAIMS BIG7 LIQUID BILL
Proprietor of Hall Asks Dancing
Master to Par for Refresh- '
meats Used Year Ago,
A new rendition of "After the Ball" was
given in the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court yesterday, when Frank Koelskt
begun suit against Michael Scott for $16.70.
The plaintiff is the proprietor of a saloon
nnd dance hall at 73T North Twenty-seventh
street and the night of May 1, 1903, the de
fendant pulled oft a terptslchorean affair at
that place.
A large number of men and women at
tended" and between them they carried a
large thirst, which was assuaged by. copi
ous libations of everything to-be found
along the cocktail route from hard whisky
down to pop.
Notwithstanding this drouthy condition
of the throats' present, Kosiskl claims that
the elaborate social .event was a financial
failure so far as he was concerned.
In the bill of particulars which the sa
loon and dance hall proprietor filed against
Scott he asserts that the promoter of so
cial functions owes him as follows:
To rent, 10; 72 bottles of pop, 12.10; 1 box
cigars, 160; I bottle whisky, fj; 1 bottle
wine. 75 cents: S seltzers. 45 cents: mlnorai
water, 30 cents; 4 ginger ales, GOc.
' Koslski declared that Bcott secured all of
the goods, but falls to state whether or not
be drank the liquids and smoked the cigars,
or passed a portion around among his
friends. .

WsLUX IX CLCUM CKAE.ITY
At a meeting of Its executive committee
held last fall, the Nebraska Woman 8uf
'rage association engaged Miss Gall Laugh
lln for a month's work In Nebraska. Mi?a
Laughlin.is now concluding that work,
which has proven among the moat profit
able that has. ever been done for suffrage
In the state. It has been confined largely
to addressing large gatherings, her first
address being made to the Old Settler's
Picnic association of Kansas and Nebraska,
July 27. The following evenlnu she ad
dressed the citizens of Humboldt, In the
city park. The business houses all closed,
and an audience of more than 600 people
listened to her. Nebraska City, Palmyra
and Springfield were next visited and a
club organised at the last place. At the
Lincoln assembly the following week she
conducted a question box In the large audi
torium and . her audience was much larger
at the close than when she commenced,
while an audio, ire that filled the audi
torium greeted her next appearance the fol
lowing Wednesday afternoon. That even
ing she conducted a question box and at
its close, after all of the enrollment cards
on hand had been used, several sheets
of paper were filled. Wednesday and
Thursday she spoke at the Fullertoo Chau
tauqua and the remainder of the time will
be given to county Institutes.
During the summer the state association
has received the utmost courtesy from the
management of all the assemblies. Mrs.
Frank Toung, state president, opened head
quarters at the Lincoln axsembly the first
day and waa assisted there by Mrs. Amanda
Marble, vice president, and other state of
ficers. The five o'clock hour was granted
the women for the Women's congress, Mrs,
Young conducting the meetings, which were
addressed by many of -the prominent vis
itors at the assembly.
The following Is the report of the work
of the Iowa Federation of Women's clubs
for the biennial period just closed, as writ
ten by Mrs. Fletcher, its president, for the
St. Louis convention:
The Iowa State federation has forty-six
clubs In the General federation, and has
added to Its own ltat eighty-one clubs since
last biennlnl. We have now 309 clubs, with
a membership of 12.0U0, and have the honor
of contributing financially more largely to
the support of the General federation than
any other state - This remarkable growth Is
due to the district meetings where much
interest and enthusiasm are evinced. The
standing committees have their work well
in hand and each has a definite plan of ac
tion. A prominent clubwoman said in a recent
magaslnei "The Household Economics for
Iowa has issued the most Sensible state
ment I have ever seen coming from a club
or federation committee." High praise com
ing from the source it did, but perhaps not
undeserved. The chairman says that we
have degraded kitchen work and placed a
social ban upon all women who dare to
take It up as a means of livelihood. She
believes tnat we can ennoble the work by
regarding housekeeping and homemnking
as a profession, and continues as follows:
"Artists and poet nave immortalized th
man with the hoe. We seek to place a like
halo above the- head of the woman with
th broom."
Since our state biennial meeting last
spring we have added two standing com
mittees; the child labor committee worked
faithfully to secure legislation agalnnt the
child labor evil and succeeded In getting It
pnpsfld in the senate with only eight op
position votes, but failed In the house only
because our representative did not thor
oughly understand the conditions In Iowa
and the need for such legislation. The
committee will continue a vigorous educa
tional campaign asing this line, looking
toward success at the next session of the
legislature.
The Iowa Congress of Mothers belonging
to us tecured through Its president, Mrs.
Isaac C. Hlllls, the unanimous pnssnge of
the Juvenile court and probation Ihw.
. The demands made upon the club pro-
?ram committee show the need there was
or It. Many of our clubs are In small
towns, and the members-are busy women
who have neither time for research nor
access to goad public libraries necessary to
make out a study outline. By applying to
the club program committee, stating the
subjest srid the number of program days,
the club is supplied with, an outline adapted
to its needs and a list of reference books
given, The committee has been requested
many times for something In the nature of
a "model" year book, which might be used
aa a guide In preparing club programs.
The state treasury is not In a condition to
permit the expenditure, but fortunately this
year the Hawthorne club of Marshalltown
celebrates Its twerKy-fifth anniversary and
has decided to signalise the event by send
ing aa a gift to the federated clubs of the
state a year book, which is now in course
of preparation under the supervision of the
stats club program committee.
"The Arthurian legends" Is the topic for
study, Mrs. Louner, the chairman, having
supplied the outline and the list of refer
ence books needed. This committee Is
rapidly Impressing clubwomen In Iowa with
the value of the speclallied program and
the demand upon the traveling libraries for
reference libraries for the use of club
women Is greater than can be supplied, so
the library committee is urging clubs to
contribute books of special subjects of
club study to be loaned to other clubs in
the state through the medium of the Iowa
library commission, such collertlons being
plainly mnrked with book plates, stating
that the libraries are the gifts of the dif
ferent clubs.
In closing. I find that the following words
of a prominent educator rnost ttly express
the alms and endeavors of the Iowa federa
tion. He savs: "It is becoming evident
that the really difficult political problems
of the day can be solved only by an edu
cational prooess. Not by the 'axiom of
metaphysics on the one hand, nor by the
machinery of legislation on the other, can
we deal with the questions that vex human
socletv. We must rely on personal charac
ter; and m new difficulties arise we must
develop our own standard of chnracter to
meet them.
The Woman' Belief corps, which meets
In national convention at Boston this week,
has a membership of 140,000 women. It has
departments In thirty-four stares and ter
ritories e.nd detached eorpg In thirteen
others, there being In all 8,0n0 corps. While
there Is nothing In the constitution of the
order to prevent a president being re
elected for a second term, this has never
been customary, and Mrs. Sarah D. Wlnans
of Troy, O., will retire this year In ob
servance of this unwritten rule, though
alia is one of the most popular and ef
ficient officers the organization hae ever
had. Mrs. U. M. Mattlson, senior vice
president, stands well for election as her
successor, it Is said. Mrs. Mattlson Is a
trained public speaker and it was she who,
while Junior vice' president, introduced the
custom of saluting the flag in the public
schools. It la said that more than half
a dosen states are urging the candidacy
of one of their representatives for the first
office. I

"I am not quite certain whether we need

will introduce a similar ordinance."

OMAHA NOT IN ON THE' COT
Pari Higher Cool Bates, While Kansas
City Get Seduction,
OLD DISCRIMINATION JUST DISCLOSED
Tariff on Facl front Mlaeoari and
lovra Mlaca to fCjawville Cat
and to Omaha Advanced
Several Notches.
"If Mr. Crane and the Burlington rail
road would purge themselves from the
charge of unjust and ugly discrimination
against the manufacturing interests of
Omaha and Nebraska they will have to get
busy cutting rates mighty quickly. If the
other railroads bringing coal into this city
wish to purge themselves of the charge
af complicity In the Burlington scheme it
Is high time they were breaking away
from this unholy combination."'
Such is the sentiment generally expressed
by Omaha business men, disgusted st the
discrimination In coal rates against Omaha.
A serious charge Is placed at the door
of the Burlington. According to one of the
leading coal men of this city, and accord
ing to rate sheets of the road named, the
Burlington, "on July t of this year, re
duced the rates on soft or steam coal
from Mendota and Unlonvllle, Mo., and
from Cincinnati, Exllne, Sedan, Center
vllle and Brazil, la, to Kansas City from
$1 a ton to 75 conts a ton. The distance
from Brasll to Kansas City is 208 miles,
and from Omaha to Brazil Is also 80s miles.
Tills thing was never published and has
Just come to light.
"It was kind for the Burlington to re
duce rates to Kansas City Omaha never
objects to favors extended o neUrhbora
but Omaha wants co-generous treatment
with others, a fair race" and no favors. Of
course other roads followed the Burling
ton they are generally unanimous. But
the crying shame of which there Is so
much complaint waa Imposed on Omaha
and Nebraska generally on August 1
Just thirty days after the prise package
was given to Kansas City and other river
towns.
How Crane Did It.
"The railroads, led by one Crane a high
priced rater with a salary to earn and a
Missouri disposition to 'show them' con
sidered that while our neighbors had been
paying too much, Omaha and this state
had been paying too little, and while our
dealers were looking for a drop in the
rates of coal Mr. Crane marked them up
14 cents a ton, added 15 conts to the Lin
coln rate and plastered additional charges
all over the state. Then the parade quickly
formed around the Burlington band wagon
and the march of other roads was made
to meet the advance.
"If this Is not discrimination, then there
never has been a case of discrimination in
the railroad business. This sensation' was
followed by protests that must have made
the ears of railroad men In general, and
Mr. Crime In particular, ring. - Mr. Crane
probably docs not know that twice before
this 11.15 rate has been Imposed on Omaha
and that neither time were the roads able
to make It stick and if there is such a
thing as law or Justice, it will not stick
this time." -
Commenting on the action of the North
western In issuing its "accidental" return
to. former" ra'tes another dealer has thia to
ay: ...
"Don't you" believe It was accidental.
was nothing of the kind. It was done in
tentionally. YMr. Crane and .his friends
heard of It and told Mr. James j. Hill the
tale of woe: then Mr. H1U got busy and
communicated with his friend, Mr. Vander-
bllt, and the latter wired Mr. Marvin
Hughltt that it would not do, so Mr.
Hughltt had to back water and cutely In
vented 'accidental.'
Wabash Ilestoree Old Rates.
"Have you noticed," , oontlnued the
speaker, "that the Wabash has promised
to be good to Council Bluffs, It raised-the
rate there on Missouri coal and now today
it restores the old rates. . It did not want
Council Bluffs to Join with Omaha in its
protest, nor did it want to be out of line
with other roads. It made a rate of $1.44.
on Cherokee and, Pittsburg district coal
and today it goes back to $1.30, while
Omaha .pays $1.44 and the big bridge toll
In addition. We are glad that Council
Bluffs was so favored and now we demand
that the roads come down oft their high
perch and do the right thing here."
Said another coal man: "The Burlington
has advanced the rate on domestic or block
coal to Council Bluffs from $1.01 to $1.80 a
ton. It is a fortunate thing that the coal
business at this time Is at a minimum.
The notice of the Intended advance caused
large shipments In here. Many qf the large
consumers have yearly contracts and must
get a rebate on these rates, and It Is unjust
to rebate to one man and not to another.
For this reason I believe the advance rate
will net very little to the roada and that
It will be reduced before shipments start
again. The packers are not using much
coal, and this Is fortunate. The Coal ex
change has not taken any action as a
body and probably will leave tha fight to
the Yisers and . the Commercial club, which
Is doing wonderfully good work.
Ilates I'nfalr and Must Drop. v
"Another reason why I believe the rate
will be reduced Is because it Is so unfair It
la like singling out Omaha and Nebraska
In an effort to kill off new enterprises and
discourage existing factories. The railroads
have never treated dealers or large users
of coal right on the arbitrary bridge tax.
They haul coal for other roads at $4 a car.
They charge ua 80 cents a ton, making the
cost nearly double what the roads pay.
"We have not many yearly contracts,"
said Victor White of the Sheridan Coal
company, "because we will not make them
for over a month. Our company operates
five or six mines aqd the managers have
acquired a close knowledge of the average
miner and realize the fact that he doesn't
need much of an excuse for breaking out
on a strike, and then it Is difficult to fill
contracts. We made a yearly contract with
Uncle Bnm for coal from theDanforth
(Mo.) mines, because the rain era have ac
quired a wholesome fear of' the govern
ment and will not strike on government
work.. I want to tell you one other thing,
and that is that the retail price of anthra
cite coal Is liable to go up any day. It
has advanced 40 cents a ton wholesale since
we have been on Jhe $10 a ton rate at re
tail." .
