Xilwtnkee General Agent Bay His Road
Did Rot Disturb Situation.
EXPLAINS WHAT THE CONDITION IS
Grali GxehuB Secretary Makes
Reply to Statement Which Mr.
Xasa Realljr Did Rot
Make la The Bee.
As a reply to ths statement which F. A.
Nash, general western agent of the Mil
waukee, made to The Bee Friday on his
return from Chicago In relation to the
Brain rate to Liverpool which the Milwau
kee road line announced. Secretary Mer
chant of the Omaha Grain exchange said:
"The rate on corn to Liverpool through
the Atlantio ports from Kansas City has
not always been 1 cents per 100 pounds
less than from Omaha, and Mr. Nash knows
this if he knows anything about It. It the
rates put In effect by the Milwaukee road
did not discriminate against Omaha other,
roads friendly to Omaha would not protest
so strongly. It the rate promulgated by
the Milwaukee road Is tight I do not un
derstand why some road Interested In Kan
sas City, and not in Omaha, did not put
the rate in effect and not wait for the
Milwaukee road to do so a road that
should have some Interest In Omaha. I do
not know of anyone outside of the
Milwaukee officials who think these dis
criminatory rates put In effect are right.
If the rate Is - allowed to remain, it will
draw a large umouut of our corn to Kan
sas City. TIid recent action of the Mil
waukee road demontitrates clearly that the
Interstate Commerce commission Hhould le
given greater power and have Jurindiction
over export as well as domestic rates. It
Is quite likely that the Omaha Grain ex
change will do what It can to bring this
about. It an export rata via the Atlantic
ports to Liverpool of 1H cents In favor of
Kansas City is fair to Omaha, an Import
rate on this same basis is fair. This prin
ciple, tmce established, would destroy the
Jobbing as well as the grain business of
Omaha, for Its ultimate' conclusion would
be to give Kansas City ths benefit of 1
oents per hundred pounds on all goods and
commodities shipped to and from the At
lantic seaport markets. Omaha has always
bad the same rates as Kansas City to and
from Atlantic seaports and the same ex
port rate as Kanaka City by way of these
ports, and no one knows this better than
Mr. Nush. Tho effort of the Milwsukee
road to clmngM this rule Is a menace to all
the business of Omaha, which not only the
Grain exchange, but the Jobbers will re
seat. Milwaukee Km Dlatarber.
Mr. Nash did not make the statement to
The Bee that the rate via the Atlantis
ports had always been 1 cents less from
Kansas City than from Omaha, nor did The
Bee so state that he said It. What he said
was there was a differential through,, the
gulf of 1H cents in favor of Kansas City,
just as there was an advantage of 1V4 cents
on wheat to Minneapolis In favor of Omaha
over Kansas City.
Mr. Nash said Saturday In regard to the
situation:
"The Milwaukee road has not disturbed
the situation In any form by the announce
ment of the rate to Liverpool. For a
period of two years Kansas City has
had an advantage of 14 cents over
Omaha on buslnesa to Liverpool, an the
fact that the Milwaukee road has made
this through rate via Baltimore rather
than the gulf ports will make no difference
to the Nebraska grain men nor to the
Omaha grain exchange. Other roads do
not meet this rate bccauM they are simply
waiting to see If the grain will move with
out making the reduced rate and If It does
they will fall la line.
"Oraln Is actually moving through Omaha
today, fifteen cars from one station, from
the point ooucernlng which the claim Is
made that the grain will be diverged, to
Kansas City. From the points in Ne
braska where the rate is the same as to
Kansas City, Omaha is getting the ad
vantage today by grain which, is being
actually moved."
DEATH COMES WITHOUT PAIN
Mrs. Grosamaa Tells In Letter of
Deaalae of the Doctor sad
His t'aaeral.
Mourning cards have been received in
Omaha, conflranlng the report in The Bao
some weeks ago of the death of Dr. Paul
Qrossmann of this city at the age of 59, at
Doborlkow, Germany, October 13, last, dur
ing a visit to Europe with his wife In tho
hope of benefiting his health, and the cre
mation of his body pursuant to his wishes
at Gotha.
His widow writes to friends here that Dr.
Grossmann passed away without suffering
pain and was conscious to the last; that
the old veterans took charge of his remains,
holding services in Gotha, at which many
great men were present whom he had
known during the Franco-Prussian war
and by whom he was beloved, not only as a
soldier and doctor, but also as a man full
of service to his fellow men.
Mrs. Grossman was due to leave Ham
burg for the United States on Saturday, on
the steamship Blucher.
Referring to the funeral of Dr. Gross
man, the following account Is translated
from a cutting from a local paper:
Chopin's Funeral March, the old war
song. "When We Meet Again," accom
panied by muffled drums, and the choral,
"Jesus, My Saviour," which waa rendered
under the direction of Mesars. Uoigt-Luck-erwalde's
band, were the straina which
called ha Monday afternoon out Into the
open- An Impressive funeral procession
wends' ita way Irom this villa along Uorf
street, bearing the remains of a alrange
man, Prof. Lr. Paul Grossman of Omaha,
.Nell., under full military honors, he being
the proud possessor of the Iron Cross, one
of tne moBt dislliigulahed honors bestowed
by the German government. Through the
great love which never Ceases to exiat, the
atrange gentleman visited once mure his
brother and birth place and returned to die
at an advanced age. About four weeks ago
the deceased celebrated his arrival here
and his sad wife and friends could not
avert the coming of the end. And now we
follow him to his last reating place. On
a profusely flower-laden huume rested the
coffin, accompanied by the militia, and be
fore him, carried on a silk pillow, was his
Iron Cross, of which he thought so much
and Honored greatly. After reaching the
last house in the village, the militia fired
three salutes of cannons In his honor and
as their last farewell. The proceaalon
then wendrd Ita way to the grave, where
exerclaea, according to Goethe's, were car
ried out. Though the renialna will aoon
crumble to dual, the love of hla beloved
wife, a dear brother and slaier-ln-law will
never cease. Alao acroaa the ocean, where
he was so well known and loved, his name
will long be remembered and spoken of
with much reverence and kindness.

Friday morning five Chicago grangers
were on the Burlington train going from
Omaha to Lincoln. They had boarded tilt
train at Chicago, for Omaha. The train
stopped for an hour in Omaha and tho
qulutet remained cosily ensconced in ths
car. When the train got to that little old
frame shed at South Omaha known as a
depot and the conductor or braketnan
yelled "South Omaha," the five Chicasa
rangers bundled themselves together and
got off the train as quickly as possible.
"This here's Omyha, alnt It?" inquired
one of the rustics of the conductor as he
alighted.
"Why certainly not, replied the con
ductor, "This is South Omaha."
"When do we get to Omyha?" asked tho
rurallsts in one breath.
'Omaha! why men, we have passed
Omaha. We stopped there for an hour,"
rejoined tho conductor with evident dis
gust. ' And the five Chicago gentlemen were
tolled off to ths street car which brought
them back to "Omyha."
