The announcement by the Rock Island
that that road would no longer haul fresh

came as no surprise to the other roads

there wa nothing to be made by hauling

will pay.
The price on fresh meat from Omaha to
Chicago, when 'destined to points beyond, Is
lSifc cents, which, with a minimum of 20,010
pounds, makes revenue of J7 per car. It
costs $1.60 to switch ut South Omaha and
12 to switch at Chicago. Add to that the
expenses of Icing, the rental the railroads
are compelled to pay the packers for the
use of the refrigerator cars when moving
under a load, quite a hole Is cut In the

son went to court, but remained in a rear
room, there Iwlug no meeting between
Symons and the woman who says she la
the man's desertd wife.
As to a reconciliation of husband and
wife before the case comes to trial neither
party seems to think such a thin possible.
The defendant and plaintiff appear equally
positive they have a strong case against
the other and are willing to tight It nut.
Questioned regarding a telegram from
Cincinnati stating It Is believed Symons has
a wife living there, the organist said such
Information was absolutely without founda
tion and that he never stopped In that
city 1.1 his life. Symons will be defended
in the vase by Attorney J. P. Kngllsh.
The announcement that the case might be
heard in police court Monday morning
served to drjw a number of Svmnn's mu

YEISER AND CATHERS DIFFER
Two lanrera I nable to Agree on the
Interpretation of a Floe
I'olal.
John O. Veiser and John T. fathers iiad
a disagreement before Judge Troup Monday
morning.
Mr. Yeiser is a man of amiable tenden
cies, who views the statutes as the em
bodied pulladium of the people's rights
and privileges. Mr. fathers, inclined at
times to questioning the wisdom of stat
utes, oidinances or other printed thing,
has little patience with those who cannot
see the woodchui ks that he discovers.
After much trying the two attorneys
lound themselves absolutely unah'le to
agree on what constitutes a defendant,
er when a party to a suit is properly
served The line of argument were so
courteously divergent that Judge Tioup
evidently decided to preserve the entente
cordiule and asked that all the papers
De submitted to him for examination. And
Messrs. Yeisr and fathers went back to
their offices to smooth out some of the
ess us 1 trouble of perplexed clients
"What's all this to Oinuha, you say?
Why, my lioy. everything. We have been,
are now, a great stock country. All this
land going under the plow will not make
a dent in the business of the cowmen, the
sheepmen and the horsemen. 1 believe
these Industries will be Increased. They
ail ship here, sell here, our merchants buy
goods here. Donf that mean busim ss for
Omaha? Put the way railroads are pok
ing their noses into Wyoming from the
south will make It well for Omuha to watch
a little out for Denver."
