FARMUnS FLOCK TO CORN SPECIAL
Ko Stop Sehedaled for One Place, bat
Crowd Forces On.
KEARNEY, Neb.. March ls.-The Union
Pacific corn education special closed a
three days' tour of Nebraska at Kearney
this evening. The enthusiasm and interest
manifested during the entire trip has been
much greater than had been anticipated,
even by the railroad officials. Fifteen
counties were visited. The crowds at the
fifty odd towns have at all times fully oc
cupied the seating capacity arranged tor
them, and in many Instances have been
of such proportions aa to require the man
agement to arrange overflow meetings. The
eagerness of Nebraska farmers to hear
the lectures was evidenced at one point
today, Elba, at which no stop had been
scheduled. When the train reached .that
point nearly 600 farmers were gathered at
the depot, having anticipated ih arrival
of the "education special." The special
was a trifle behind time, and, In order to
not disappoint those whom It was known
wera waiting at other points, the manage
ment felt that It could not make an ex
ception In this case and Conductor Klger
was instructed to stRrt the train as soon
as he had registered. Just as the special
was pulling out of the little town a sturdy
farmer pulled the bell cord and the train
was "held up" until Profs. Bruner -and
Pugsley had delivered a fifteen-minute ad
dress. At other towns equal Interest was
shown by the farmers who were gathered
during the trip About 1,000 mile were
covered and over 8.000 farmers were bene
fited. The arrangements have been admir
able, the audlehcei in each Instance being
well provided for.
Today's tour covered nearly 300 miles arid
about thirty addresses were made. The
largest audiences were at Scotia, Buelus,
Flcasunton and Ord.
ST. PAUL. Neb. March IS.-The third
day of the L'nlon Pacific's corn educa
tion special atarted out with the largest
and moat onthuslaatlo crowds thus far en
countered. At , Ord, where the special
atopped for the night a demonstrative
crowd of farmers wera on hand early in
the morning to hear or results obtained
by the university men at the experiment
stations.
At Elba s holdup occurred. The spe
cial was not arheduled to stop for lectin e
at that point. It waa necessary, hpwever,
to meet a train there, and a serious crowd
of over loo firmer Insisted on hearing
the glad news. As the special was leaving
that station, an enthusiast pulled the bell
cord and Profs. Bruner and Humsley were
compelled to glvi flrteen-mlnute lecture
before the train waa permitted to proceed.

Omaha business men entertained Preal
0nt Sluyvesant Fish and other officials of
the Illinois Central road yesterday on the
occasion of the formal opening ot the fine,
new double drawbridge nt East Omaha.
Elghty-flve men participated In the dinner
and listened to an unusually good line of
after-eating oratory. The dining rooms
of the Commercial club had been thrown to
gether and presented an Inviting picture.
The tables were embellished with 'ullps and
greenery and sparkled with glass and silver.
The table where tut the guests carried a
complete model of the East Omaha bridge.
Uenerul Charles F. Manderson. toast
master, sat St the. head of the speakers'
table, at which the guests were assembled.
On his right sat President ' Fish, and on
his left John R. Webster, president of the
bridge company. J. Il Van Brunt nnd
Victor Bender of the Council Bluffs Com
mercial club and Hon. Smith McPherson.
Judge of the federal court for the southern
district of Iowa, Were also at this table.
Hon. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, W. S. Wright,
president of the Commercial club; Luther
Drake, George F. Bldwcll, Q. W. Holdrege
and F. W. Judson. chairman, of the ex
ecutive committee of the Commercial club,
were the Omaha contingent. With Presi
dent Fish were Second Vice President J.
T. Hnnrahan. W. E. Keeppers, general
freight agent of the road; I. G. Rawn, gen
eral manager, and J. A. L. Waddell, the
engineer of the bridge.
Introduces he Oratory.
It Was not until 9:19 o'clock that General
Mandersun, ns tosstmaster, arose to lead
the program from the physical delights to
the mental stimulants,
"If it were not for the wlsd legislation,"
he began, "which gave land grants for tho
building of the railroads the great state of
Nebraska nnd the transmisHifsippi country
would not be developed as It Is now. As I
recall It, the Illinois Central i ad was the
first to receive land grants, and Daniel
Webster, among others, opposed It, saying
tho country which It was meant to reach In
southern Illinois was utterly unfit for a
pluce of residence for whito mn.. You
know what has been said of the country
from which Nebraska was formed.' No
man worthy of any great place comes to It
through good fortune. He may be born
with a silver spoon In his mouth, but that
makes little difference In the end. 1 know
of Mr. Fish that ho started ut the bottom,
as a clerk In headquarters, was found fitted
for the work and advanced to vice presi
dent, and then to president, which office he
has held, for twenty years. I,ct us drink
to the head of this great system."
President Fish Repllrs.
The toast was drunk standing add then
President Fish arose and answered to the
subject, "The Occasion."
"General Manderson and Gentlemen of
the Commercial Club: I want to thank you
gentlemen for your much too fluttering
words. It Is always a pleasure for a rail
road man to get acquainted with his pub
lic. It Is always s pleasure when he feels
they have got to know him So that, they
understand his difficulties and ho can
learn their needs. The trouble between
the carriers and public Usually comes be
cause they do not understand each otljur.
It' was said of Franklin Pierce that he
was a great man In New Hampshire, but
when they spread him out over the whola
United States he spread out awfully thin.
So It is with our road; Its first charter al
lowed for 700 miles of road In Illinois, and
it was jkti easy thing to meet its difficulties
then! . -
"I have not failed to hote since my ar
rival this morning that on questions of
rates there s not an absolute harmony
between Council Bluffs and Omaha. Besides
these cities there are some other stations
In the country served by the Illinois Cen
tra). The trouble is we cannot give our
sole attention to one single point. The
road Is spread overmany states and our
burden Is too large to carry. The great
thing Is In ihe growth of tho country. In
its spreading out It brings new problems
and doesn't do away with any of the old
ones. i
Talks of Rate Problem.
"I shall not try to discuss what congress
Is trying to do to regulate raiea, but will
try to call your attention to the wisdom
or unwisdom of legislation. Tho constitu
tion of the t'nited States was first made
for political problems, but they found they
couldn't to on, so they made the constitu
tion for commercial purposes and left to
congress the control of. the foreign com
merce and the commerce of the state.
There Is probably a division among you
on the euestlon of free trade, but all of
you must admit the commercial growth
of the country is due to the absolute free
dom of interstate commerce which we
enjoyed until 1E87. Then congress did not
restrict the railroads, but Vegulated them,
aa It had a right to do. We went on
prosperously until the present. Now It l
proposed to let some men In Washington
fix the rates. I.rt us apply this to other
businesses. Say If congress should try to
regulate the price of grain or of live stock,

- Men die long before Ihtilr time because
they try to crowd too much Into their ex

hard. A wise woman writes ot the good
that a aimple diet has done her:
"I have been using Grspe-Nuts for about
six months. I tegan rather sparingly, un
til I acquired such a liking for It that for
the lust three months i have depended
upon it almost entirely tor my diet, eating
nothing else whatever but Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and I bel.eve I could
eat It tot dinner with fruit and be satisfied
without other rood, aod feel much better
and have more strength, to do my house
wurk, "When I began the use of Grape-Nuts 1
was thin and weak, my muscles were so
soft that 1 was nut able to do any work.
I weighed only lOX pounds. Nothing that I
ate did me any good. I was going down
hill rrfpldly, was nervous and miserable,
with no ambition for anything. My condi
tion improved rapidly after 1 began to eat
Urspe-Nuls food. It made me feel like a
new woman; my muscles got solid, my
figure rounded out, my weight increased
to YA pounds In a few weeks, my nerve
grew steady and my mind better and
clearer. My friends tell ma ihey haven't
seen mc look so well fcr years.

you would ssy It was Interfering with pri
vate business. Take banks that ere abso
lutely chartered by the government, what
would you say If the government tried to
regulate the amount of Interest and other
matters? It would not Worfc. They have
tried It In Europe. They tried to find out
what an article cost eo a to fl a Just
price, but did not go Into the market and
find out what it would sell for. When out
lawk were made we were Sufficiently ad
vanced to know that the price of a com
modity could not be fixed by the statutes,
but must be regulated by the law ot supply
and demand.
" I beseech you to think when It Is pro
posed to leave the control of rates to a
email body of men In Washington, far
from the horltnn of Omaha business, how
It will affect your Industries. Let us get
together on this thing without heat. Be
fore a tep Is taken let us discuss this In
all the phases through the press and else
where before anything Is done. This Is the
'occasion' I think and. It Will be wdrthy
If we act for the best effect on the greatest
number of people among the W.OOO.OOO' of the
United States."
W. s. Wright's Vlerrs.
President W. 8. Wright of the Commer
cial club sala; "Omaha appreciates that
the Interests of commercial Omaha and the
railroads are one. The success of One Is
the success of the other. The development
of the country closely follows the develop
ment of the railroads. The railroad busi
ness cannot be a success without this being
reflected In tl.e real estate and commer
cial conditions of the city. Busluess men
feel they are better served and treated
now and would rather leave the rate busi
ness to men who have given their lives
to Its study than to put It on a political
basis In the hands of a political body at
a distance from Omaha, when It Is not fa
miliar with the conditions here."
Charles A. Dickson on "The Missouri Val
ley and Its Railroads," said: "Sioux City
hs every reason to Join Omaha on thlsr oc
casion. Sioux City remembers the Illinois
Central road gave It the benefit of the
river rale. Tha history of the development
of transportation of the country has yet
to be written. Frederick tho Great, who
killed thousands, fills libraries, while singu
larly little la known of tho men who built
up this country. William tl. Osborne built
the Illinois Centra to the gulf and little
or nothing is known of him. Makers of his
tories should arrange their books so the
heads of the children will not be flllod
with lighters, but with men who have con
ferred lite on the country. In place 'of
statues of Peter the Great at Washington
should be statues of Watts, Fulton and
many other similar men."
Deslsjner Talk ot Hrldce,
J. A. Waddell spoke, .on "Some Facts
About the Bridge." Mr. Waddell .Wore, the
order of knighthood conferred on him by
the mikado for his work In teaching the
Japanese to build bridges.' "The cost or
a- part temporary and part permanent
bridge had to be estimated In one-halt
hour. It was placed at 4G0.OOO. Pile plere
had never been attempted In the river be
fore. The company was given three days
to- raise K60,000 If It was to get the $750,
uuo necessary from eastern capitalists, The
bridge Is the only one' In the world with
two draws. The new draw is the longest
and heaviest In the country. The old plies
wee seventy feet long and were driven
by water Jet In from three to five min
utes. They were put In for eight years
and at the end of twelve years were In good
condition."
Victor E. Bender, "A Voice from Across
the River," said: "Council Bluffs always
expects its sons to tell the story of how
Abraham Lincoln stood on the- bluffs and
pointed out tho spot for the end of the1
Union Paclfla road. Omtha wa only a
war whoop at that time. Council Bluffs
Is a cornucopia of railroad terminals, but
the good things leak through the little end
Into the American desert. The three cities
welcome tho Illinois Central to the plains
of plenty."
Visit to the Brlde.
John R. Webster spoke on "The History
of the Bridge." "It Is a history of tribu
lation. Tho bridge Was built by Omaha
men,- the company organised In 1889. the
oharter granted In 1891, the first bridge
finished In 1S3. Then the tracks ended In
the Nicholas street swamps and the hard
time appeared to have ruined the ven.
ture. At Philadelphia It was decided to
tear It down, but Mr. Welsh gava JT50.000
more. Stlckney of the Great Western
spent a month here planning, but could
not get the money. In 1899 President Flan
promised to buy the bridge If a contract
were furnished with the Missouri Pacific.
Mr, Gould refused to sign it, but did after
a long struggle."
G. M. Hitchcock, In place of J. M. Dick
inson, on "Shifting Borders," said: "Noth
Ing has a fixed boundary all business and
other condttloga have changed; been revo
lutionised. So railroad men should not
treat men who have new proposition as
altogether beyond the pale. People have
made up their minds to aettle once for
all these rate questions. No Injury will
be done the railroads by this regulation,
but i(ew factors have entered the business.
Seventy-five years ago congress controlled
commerce and the highways. It I a mat
ter of regret to some that It abdicated Its
right when the railroads came. No. re
striction of railroads was Intended, but
the prevention ot partiality on the public
highways."
History' of the Bridge.
The afternoon before the Omaha dinner
was given to a formal visit to the bridge.
The Illlnola Central furnished a train for
Omaha men, leaving the Union station at
3 o'clock. A second train from Cqmicll
Bluffs met hts at the bridge. Light re
freshments were served on the trains and
largo parties of sightseers and Interested
parlies went out to View the great double
track steel draw bridge. The draw were
to have been swung out, but the motors
wore burned out and nothing could be
done. A shower of rain came up at the
moment ot arrival of the trains, so that
the Inspection of the bridge was cut short.
Few of those who went out had any pre
vious ldea of the magnitude of the new
engineering work.

WARNER ELECTED SENATOR
Kamii Citj Man it Chosen bj Republicans
of Missouri.
DEADLOCK .IS BROKEN ON LAST DAY
Bailatinar Preretllnar the Kleetlea la
Marked with Noise anil K tene
ment by Friends of Ilemo
erntle candidate.
JEFFERSON C1TT. Mo., March ld.-In
scenes of the wildest disorder Major WH
Ham Warner, republican, of Kansas City
was today elected t'nited States senator
from Mlesourl to succeed Francis Marlon
Cockrell, whose term expired March t
and who had occupied the office since 1871.
The election of Major Warner ended the
deadlock In the legislature which began
When the first Joint ballot was taken on
January g. Today's Jolht session was the
forty-fifth and the elective ballot was the
sixty-seventh. From the beginning the
democrats steadily voted for thrlr caucus
nominee, Cockrell, while the majority of
the republicans voted for Thomas K. Nled
rlnghau tf Bt. Louis, chairman of tha
state central committee nnd caucus nom
inee. Strong opposition was made by
Richard C. Kerens of Bt. Louis, formrt
republican national committeeman, and hi.
adherents refused to leave him. This re
sulted In the splitting of the republican
vote and over a score of candidates were
named In the different Joint bnllots taken
Caucuses were held, the matter was dis
cussed In conferences and every effort
waa made to stem the tide for the caucus
nominee,' Nledrlngliaus, but while he held
his ground he did not gain.
On March 7 the name of Major Warner
was Introduced among the various candl
dates and he received two votes. There
arter his name appeared rrom time to
time, but he received onry a scattering vote,
By concurrent resolution the time for slue
die adjournment of the legislature waa
fixed at 3 o'clock today. It seemed appar
ent that unless some very decided change
should lake place by running a new can
didate who would draw a republican ma
jority of voters, either Missouri would be
without a senator to fill Senator Cockrcil's
vacancy or at the last moment the repub
licans would Join forces with the denv
oorats and re-elect Mr. Cockrell. Efforts
were inade In a Joint session last night to
break the deadlock and elect L. F. Parker,
but after continued balloting there was no
result. When the final Joint session was
Convened today the tense situation drew
almost the population of Jefferson City
to the capltol and Interest was at fever
heat. The house chamber was with dif
ficulty kept cleared that bupinesa might
proceed, but the corrlddrs were Jammed
and the capltol grounds were thronged.
Seven Ballot Taken.
Seven ballots were taken to decide the
deadlock. Two days ago Warner received
a total of four votes on three Joint ballots.
Last night his vote crept up steadily until
It reached sixty-eight. When the ballot
ing Opened today Warner, Nledrlnghaus
and jCockrell were the principal contest
ants, with a small vote for Kerens and a
scattering vote for Peck, Parker and Bar
th.oldt.On the second ballot the support
ers of Kerens returned to him and re
mained until the end, Coekrf ll's vote was
Undiminished and remained so throughout,
and Warner had advanced by drawing
from Nledrlnghaus.
Little change was made during the next
four ballots, while Ihe democrats clam
ored for adjournment and the republicans
endeavored to fight through to a successful
result. The wildest disorder prevailed
nnd time and again proceedings were
brought to a standstill by the turmoil.
In the midst of this, after the sixth bal
lot had been taken, R. C. Kerens advanced
to the rostrum, and In a few words urged
that If It was the desire of the assembly
to elect Warner that he be elected. This
was practically a withdrawal of Kerens'
name and solved the deadlock. For a time
nothing could be done, as the wild clamor
drowned out everything else and Kerens'
name was cheered to the echo. Finally
some semblance of order waa restored and

PRESIDENT ISN0W AT HOME
Return from Trip to Mew Vork This
Moraine and Crowd'
Ore Him.
WASHINGTON, March 18 -Preldent and
Mr. Roosevelt reached Washington from
New York today at 7: a. m- They were
met at the Pennsylvania station by their
carrisge and driven directly to the White
House. ,
The trip rrom New York was without
noteworthy Incident. Notwithstanding the
early hour o' his arrival, the president
ins greeted by a considerable crowd at
lb station a he left th train. There waa,
however, no demonstration.
We paid 1100,000 for the American
rights to Liquozone; the highest -e
ever paid for similar right on any
eclentiflc discovery. We did thla after
teatlng the product for two yeara.
through physicians and hospitals, In thla
country gnd others. We cured all kinds
of germ diaaaaea with It thousand of
tha moat difficult cases obtainable. We
proved that in germ troubles It always
' accomplish what medicine cannot do.
Now we ask you to try It try It at our
eipense. Teat It a we did; see what It
doe. Then you will use It always, a
w do, and aa millions of other do. You
will use It, not only to get well, but to
Veep well. And It will save nearly all
of your sickness.
Kills Inside Germs
I.lquocone la not made by compound
ing drugs, nor I there alchohnl lu It.
It virtues are derived solely from gnt
largely oxygen ga by a procea re
quiring Immense apparatus aud 14 days'
time. The proce has, for more than
?0 years, been the constant subject of
scientific and chemical research.
The result is a liquid thflt does what
oxygen does. It I a nerve food and
blood food the most helpful thing In
the world to you. Its effects are exhil
arating, vltsllalng. purifying. Yet it la
germicide un certain that we publish
on every bottle an offer of fl.oou for a
disease germ that it cannot kill. The
reason Is that genus are vegetables;
and Mquoxone like an excess of oxygen
Is deadly to vegetal matter.
There Ilea the great value of LI quo
gone. It Is the only known way to kill
germs in the "body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
Is a poison, and It cannot be taken In
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
In any genu disease. It Is thla fact that
gives I.iqunxon its worth to humanity.
And that worth I ao great that we have
spent over one million dollar to supply
the first bottle free to each sik one we
learned of.
Germ Diseases
These are the known germ diseases,
All that medteiua can do for these
troubles Is to help Nature overcome
the germ, and such results are Indirect
ant) uncertain. Mquoaone attacka the
germs, wherever they are. And when
the germs which cause a disease are
destroyed, the disease must end. aud
forever. That Is Inevitable.
