RAILROAD PLANS OPPOSED
Wholetalt Grocers Tike Action on Uniform
Bill of Lading.
ACTION ON PREMIUM CERTIFICATES
Retailers Aro Asked to Co-operate la
Effort 4 Pat aa End to tho
Practice by Some
The special meeting of the Iowa and Ne
braska Wholesale Grocers' association held
In this city yesterday was a most Im
portant one and brought out practically a
full representation of the organisation.
Probably the most Important question
which prompted tho calling of the meeting
was the uniform bill of lading which the
railroads announced would be put In force
on and after January 1, 19U6. B It the
railroads propose to relieve themselves of
responsibility for all freight consigned to
them for transportation unless the shipper
Is prepared to pay an additional 20 per cent
on the freight charges. This, shippers ,1n
general regard as a scheme of the rail
roads to evade their responsibilities as com
mon esrrlers and withdraw all protection
from the shipper unless he pays for It, or,
In other words, pay the railroads a pre
mium for practically Insuring his goods.
This was the view of the proposed meas
ure taken at yesterday's meeting by the
Iowa and Nebraska wholesalers, with the
result that this resolution was adopted:
The Iowa and Nebraska Wholesale Gro
cers' association does emphatically protest
igalnst the enforcement of the so-called
uniform bill of Indlng which transportation
companies Intend putting In effect January
1, and regards any auch action as un
just and unreasonable, bealdes putting an
undue burden upon the shipper.,
The Interstate Commerce commission has
been appealed to and this body will hold a
meeting next Monday In Chicago. It wa
decided at yesterday's meeting that John
Melhop, secretary of the association, should
represent the organisation before the com
mission. Oppose Prcmlam Plan.
The association also adopted the follow
ing resolution, which Is self-explanatory:
Whereas, The wholesale grocers of Iowa
and Nebraska view with much concern tbe
Increasing practice of manufacturers of
various lines placing In their, packages
certificates of value redeemable In the
hands of the consumer for various articles
of household use and necessity; and,
Whereas. We believe that the continua
tion of this practice will ultimately tend to
Injure to a great extent the bualneBS of the
legitimate retailer of these lines of mer
chandise; be M
Resolved, That we discourage the sale of
all such articles of merchandise carrying
these certificates and that we ask our
salesmen to give the preference to such
lines of merchandise carried by the whole
sale grocer aa do not include these certifi
cates of value, and we aak the hearty co
operation of the retail grocer In this move
ment, that the business of his retail brother
in other lines may not be destroyed.
Another Important matter before the
meeting was that of canned goods con-'
tracts. As It now Is the canner has the
privilege of cancelling orders on the
ground of short crops, leaving the whole
saler and jobber no alternative after pla
cing his order, probably six months ahead,
but to go onto the open market and pur
chase his goods as. boat he can. This left
the wholesaler without protection and at
the meeting yesterday a contract was for
mulated eliminating this clause giving tho
canner the- privilege of cancelling the
order. This form of contract was then re
ferred to ft committee which will confer
with ft like committee from the Missouri
River association of Kansas City, with a
view to Its general adoption by both or
ganisations. Appropriate resolutions were adopted on
tho deaths of Hanry Meyer of Meyer A
Raapke of Omaha and Hoy Wlntlcld of
tho Warfleid-Pratt-Howell company of
Sioux City, both of whom died slnco the
last meeting of the association.

Dairy Bars to Baraed.
A number of frame buildings on the dairy
farm of A. C. Cllsworth, southeast of tho
Union Pacific transfer depot, were burned
to tho ground last night by An, which Is
thought to bava atarted In tho milk house.
Ths buildings destroyed Included tho dairy
barn, buggy shed, chicken house, milk
bouse and machine shed.
There were twenty-six cows and seven
horses In tbo bam and when the Ore was
first discovered they were all turned loose,
but it ia known that one or more of tho
cowa ran back Into tho building and per
ished. All of tho farm Implement In the
machine ahed and two buggies and several
sets of ths haraeao tn tho buggy shed wer
consumed by the flames, as well a sixty
bushel of grain, twenty ton of hay and
other feed.
The Are was discovered shortly before I
o'clock, when ft still alarm waa sent In to
tho Are department. Owing to tho distance
from any hydrants, little could be done
by the flremen to stop the blase. Owlftg
to tho combustible nature of tho frame
buildings the flame spread rapidly and In
lesa than half an hour tho entire group
of buildings waa In ruin.
Mr. Ellsworth was unable last night lo
estimate bis loss, but ho believed that tho
Insurance he carried would cover one-half
or possibly two-thirds oC the damage.

RAILROAD MtV RAI9B ITS TRACK!
Korthweatera Mea Have Coafereaec
with City Officials.
As a result of the visit of ft party of offi
cials of tho Northwestern railroad here
yesterday Mayor Macrae and other city
officials have strong hopes that the com
pany will In the near future arrange to
raise Its bridges over Indian creek and
thus remove one of the msln causes of this
turbulent little stream perlodlcslly over
flowing Its bar.ks and flooding Broadway
and the adjoining neighborhood. The visit
ing officials were W. II. Finley, principal
assistant engineer, with headquarters In
Chicago; B. J. Sweatt, division engineer,
and W. H. Whalen, division superintend
ent, both of Boone.
Accompanied by Mayor Macrae and ev
eral of the aldermen the party first in
vestigated the condition at the Broadway
crossing snd then followed the creek bank
to Sixteenth avenue, and from there were
driven to the point where the dredge is
now operating south of the city limits.
Engineer Finley expressed the opinion
that the work now being done by the
dredge would benefit the city more than
anything else could, and he complimented
the city officials on undertaking It. He sug
gested that the city should have a very
stringent ordinance making It an offense
punishable by a heavy fine for throwing
any obstructions In the creek.
That it would be materially to the benefit
of the railroad company to raise Its bridges
on Eleventh street the visiting officials
agreed, hut Superintendent Whalen gave It
as hls"oplnlon that the proposition was one
which called for the Joint action of all the
railroads having bridge over the creek.
While no definite statement was made by
the visitors yesterday the city officials in
ferred from some remarks -which were
dropped that the railroad company Is figur
ing on purchasing the property between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets on both side
of Broadway, probably for a block on each
side. This would then enable them to re
move their bridges and tracks west of the
depot and raise them without Interfering to
any great extent with surrounding prop
erty. This It was stated would probably be
less expensive thnn raising the tracks and
bridges In their present location, a to se
cure ft suitable grade It would be necessary
to raise the track for a distance of about
2.B00 feet each side of Broadway, and would
necessitate also the raising of the grade of
Broadway two block east and one block
west.

of work and had been for some time. On
Sunday he went home and to bed and
slept for twenty-four hours and when
awakened had a cup of tea and went back
to bed again. His wife found him Monday
evening evidently In great pain, and when
he was taken to a hospital It developed he
had been struck on the aide of the head.
This caused his death. It was believed
by his relatives and police that he had been
attacked and held up, but later Investiga
tion Indicates thst he fell agalnat a rail

Claim of Intimidation.
In the trial of the case of the United
State against Andrew Sorenseti. before
Judge McPherson, the defendant went on
the stand and testified that he had mad
his confession some time ago under compul
sion and threats, and these threat were
assisted materially by a big revolver In the
hands of the secret service men who ob
tained the confession. ( Sorensen was ac
cused Of robbing the postoffice at Vsn
Meter. . He put up as a defense an alibi In
exactly the same manner as the alibi which
was used by him In a similar larceny cas
last year. He was convicted.

The auditor of state has Issued a larger
number of certificate to Insurance agents
throughout the state this year than ever

Captain Hayes of Red Oak and Captain
Thomas of Woodburn, members of the
Shlloh Monument commission, met with
Governor Cummins today to draft the In
scription that is to appear upon the battle
monuments at the Shlloh battlefield. After
a session lasting two hours they completed
a draft of the Inscription, consisting of 150
words. It Is believed that It will In every
respect meet tho requirement of the secre
tary of war. It will at onco be forwarded
to the latter and upon receiving his appro
bation the controversy that has been waged
over this matter for three years, will be at
an end.
At the conference1 the governor had with
the acting secretary of war three week
ago, an understanding waa practically
reached and It wu agreed that the gov
ernor should go back to Iowa, meet with
the commission and agree upon exactly
what Inscription they would insist upon.
This waa then to be submitted to the secre
tary of war for his final approval.
