The publication by The Bee of Senator
Jlurkett's reply to the circular letter which
the rallroada have been sending- him over
the namea of their employes, protesting
again rate regulation legislation by con
gress, is responsible for some Interesting
correspondence. The letter of Senator Bur

Fonda,- a traveling freight agent of the
1'nlon Pacific, residing at Grand Island,
Js'eb. From him came the following tele
gram:

Letter from Clancy's Office.
The letter, which is signed in typewriter
JWilllam TenKyck Fonda, Is as follows:
OMAHA. Jan 26. To the Editor of The
Sine: You published under date of January
13 a copy of Senator Burkett's letter ad
dressed to employes of the Union Paclllo
lull road company who had writeen him on
' the subject of rate legislation.
The senator Invites further correspondence
cm this subject and under the circumstances
presumes he prefers that it shall be given
the same publicity as his recent commuul
Cat ion.
. In the first place, for his Information, de
sire to say that the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, having a membership of
12,000. and the Order of Hallway Conductors,
with an equal membership, and their kin
dred organisations, have canvassed the
Ituatlon carefully and we hope tntelll
.ni I v as the best legal talent available
lias been employed to guide us. Therefore,
V cannot submit to the Imputation from
any source that we are not Intormed or that
we do not know our best Interests; neither
will we submit to the insinuations fre
quently advanced that we are coerced. The
organisation to which I have the honor of
. twOonglng has never been suseeptlb.e to such
;. Influences; we have the reputation of In
dependence. Individually I would like to ask Senator
liurkett one or two questions:
Does not the t'nlted States pay the high
est wages to railroad men of any country In
the world?
Is not the wages paid to railroad men In
i the I'nlted States the highest they have
ever been?
Are not commodities transported by the
railroads of the I'nlted States handled tit
a less cost per ton per mile to shippers than
' those of any other country in the world?
Is not the cost of such transportation In
the I'nlted States less than it has ever
lccn?
'resuming your answer will be In the
affirmative, based on the statistical truths,
the two large clssses of your constituents
If you so divide them being thus well taken
care of, who are you representing? Will
you please enlighten the people of Nebraska
as to the manner In which you contemplnte
furthering their Interests in supporting the
proposed legislation regulating railroad
rstes?
Nebraska farms and their products have
an abnormal value as compared with those
of New v ngland, by reason of existing rates.
is it your intention to oring tnein to a
parity, in that way helping the agricul
tural Interests of the east? It surely can
not be that you are so loyal to your party
that you are willing to sacrifice your con
stituents for the general welfare. If this
is true, you must hope to accomplish bet
ter conditions than now exist throughout
the whole country. Do you not feel that
you have undertaken a herculean task, for
which you will be held responsible to your
constituents If you fall; more, perhaps,
than any other senstor, as you are In
Washington, ostensibly at least, by suffer
ance of the common people. In contrast
with those who were selected directly by
the legislators instructed.
You are asking a great deal of us when
you suggest that we sit idly by and per
mit the experiment to be made, under the
very prosperous conditions we, as well as
sll others with whom we come In contact,
are now enjoying. You know as well as
we that government control and rate mak
ing power has prostrated railroads, degen
erated employes and ruined stock holders
where the erl-ent ls been tried In
'her countries. This, then, is our de
sire: "I-et wi-u enmia-ii aine." Scrutinize
anv law that would change these condi
tions carefully and with grave suspicion.
As locomotive engineers we risk our lives
dally to assist In maintaining commercial
supremacy in the United States, conse
quently we feel we are as much the sup-
riort of the government ss otner citisens
n any walk of life. We do not propose to
sacrifice or Jeopardise the wage we receive
to insure political preferment to anyone.
We will not admit that those who special
ise In anv profession, not excepting that of
law, have a monopoly of Intelligence and
common sense. We at the throttle have
time to think. There is not with us the
mad rush for the almighty dollar or the
desire for political preferment. We ask a
plain living, good schooling for our child
ren, to stand well with our fellow men and
our God at the final. We analyse this ques
tion with the same deliberation and cool
ness required to safely nannie our engines.
If you are with those who are willing
to make anv sacrifice to attain their ambi
tions, frantically striving for wealth, re
gardless of methods, prostituting the wel
fare of the whole people, or any part of
them, to their own selfish ends, you are
not representing the class of whom God
mude so many. '

Norfolk Man Thinks Paradise MJaht

NORFOLK. Neb . Jan. 51 (Special.) Mra.
D. C. O'Connor of this city has received a
cablegram from her husband In Panama,
now superintendent of education In the
canal aonc, instructing her to sail, with
their family, for Panama on February 7.
Mra. O'Connor will leave Nebraska within
the next few daya In order to sail from
New York on that date.
Mr. O'Connor wrote a letter to the local
high school,' read today. In which he said
that his trip waa pronounced the storm
iest taken from New York to Colon In
twenty-three years. Ninety per cent of the
passengers were sea sick.
"Colon." he writes, "Is made up of two
parts, the old city and the new town, Crls
tohal, built on a long, narrow strip of re
claimed ground on which are built the resi
dences of officers and engineers. The city
Is low and stagnant, scum-covered pools
are to be seen under many houses, yet the
town is said to be very healthful. Insects
do not seem to me to be as troublesome
as they are In Norfolk in June or July.
Everything seems to grow old in Colon In
a comparatively short time even the peo
ple. The change from Colon to Cristobal la
as surprising as refreshing. And looking
out on the sea, listening to the soft swaying
rustling of the great palms and feeling the
cool, soft breeze with the salt spray from
the sea, one becomes enchanted and may
be forgiven if he dreams that here, Indeed.
Is a fit place for Paradise."

RCSHVILLE. Neb., Jan. 24. (Special.)
Some excitement was aroused In this neigh
borhood this morning shortly after the
westbound passenger arrived. Sheriff Mole
of Dawes county was on the train in charge
of a man named Phillip Mclntyre, who was
wanted at Chadron to answer a charge of
forgery. When the train pulled up at Rueh
vllle the sheriff was In the closet and Mc
lntyre saw a chance to drop out of a win
dow, which he did, notwithstanding he was
shackled, and no one seemed to miss him.
However the sheriff returned before the
train pulled out and missed his man di
rectly. He got off the train and a search
In the dim light of early morning failed to
reveal his tracks until the party got be
hind, the mill; here two boys discovered
some' suspicious tracks and they followed
them up for six miles and ultimately caught
their game north of Bushvllle near the
Beede farm. The sheriff soon came up and
Mclntyre was conveyed to town and lodged
in ih. count v tail and will be sent back to
Chadron. He has already served ten years
in Indiana for forgery and ne was mis
time extradited from Virginia to answer
a similar charge at Chadron.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
Sennrnttn- Taesa from
Their Money.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. 24. (Special.) The Bur
lington railroad this morning served notice
on State Treasurer Mortensen that it had
paid Its taxes In a number of counties un
der protest and the protests were then
served on Mr. Mortensen. It is presumed
the state treasurer was served with the
notices so that If the county treasurers
paid the money Into the state treasury the
county could recover from the state.
The counties In which the Rurlington has
paid Its taxes are those where the tax pro
tested amounta to less than $2,000. thus
preventing the railroad from taking the
matter Into the federal court. The coun
ties are: Blaine. Buffalo, Chase. Colfax,
Dawson, Douglas, Garfield, Gosper, Grant,
Hall, Hayes, Merrick, Platte Polk, Sioux
and Wheeler.
The protests were served by Tax Com
missioner Pollard of the Burlington, who
also notified the county officials that taxes
advertised under the scavenger law and
alleged to be due on land owned by the
Burlington here would be paid. The taxes
accumulated against the property before
It was acquired by the railroad. Mr. Pol
lard said he thought nothing would he done
about the 19n5 tax suit until the decision
was reached by the T'nlted Statea supreme
court In the case which has Just been ap
pealed. Should the Burlington lose this
suit It will have to pay Interest at the rate
of $200 a day, which Mr. Pollard said was
a good Indication that the road thought it
had a good case.
Changes at Cnlverslty.
Prom the way the -officials of the state
university go after the nickels and dimes
of the pupils, aside from th regular fees
charged, that Institution should be self
sustaining. This morning a new method
of getting money out of the students came
to light. To find his grade It Is now neces
sary for the student to pay 10 cents for a
grade card. A daughter of a Lincoln min
ister this morning asked her father for 10
cents with which to buy her grade. The
money was given her and when she came
home In the evening she had a grade card
marked "A plus." It had cost her 10 cents
to find how she stood in one study only.
Her father said if she had desired Infor
mation regarding her standing In other
studies It would have cost him 10 cents for
each study.
Another complaint the p-iplls have about
the cost of going through the university
and to which they desire to call the atten
tion of the regents is the habit of instruc
tors to write textbooks which they compel
the student to buy and use. Nearly every
professor In the university is the author of
a textbook. The book is called to the atten
tion of the student and the student Is told
that he can purchase It at the co-operative
book store. According to the students the
books are not worth the price. The paper
used and binding Is of the cheapest In most
cases, yet the price charged Is the price of
a good book. It Is said at the last meeting
of the Board of Regents one of the profes
sors who had charged 3 for his textbook
was called down by the' regents. The book
was shown to an outsider and he took the
matter up with the board. '
Things Which Look Bad.
The action of the Board' of Regents in em
ploying a man for accredited high school
examiner who is at the head of a private
academy In Lincoln has also come in for
condemnation. Tills man. T. Morey Hodg
man, who draws $1,600 from the state every
year as salary. Is the head of the Lincoln
academy. This man has to say whether a
high school out In the state shall be ac
credited with the State university. While
no charge has been filed against Mr. Hodg
man that he Is not attending to the duties
of his office fairly. It is pointed out that It
looks bad to have the head of a private
school saying which high school should be
accredited with the State university. Should
a pupil be deficient In any one study the
fact that Hodgman Is the head of a private
school might influence the pupil to take a
short course In that particular private
school In order to be able to get into the
university.
The fact that It costs more and more each
year for a atudent to get through the uni
versity and the further fact that more
money Is appropriated each year, together
with numerous Incidents that coma to light
every day, like the above, where the pupil
Is made to pay more money than he had
expected to pay and more money than
there Is any law to compel him to pay, are
aome of the reasons why It is being urged
that an investigation of the university Is
necessary.
Jelly Without Fruit.
In a bulletin which he will shortly issue
State Chemist Redfern will tell something
about various kinds of Jellies he has an
alysed. Five brands which he has In his
office now and which were aold for Jelly
manufactured from fruit, contain not a
suspicion of fruit, but are made of glucose,
starch and coloring.
Recently the chemist received soma eandy
from Beatrice for analysis. The candy had
been sold to the unsuspecting public of the
Gage county town as pure cream candy.
The analysis showed It to have been made
principally of paraffin with aome flavoring-.
One young boy who had bought aome of
It, after chewing It awhile discovered some
chewing gum In his mouth. Dr. Brash,
secretary to the Board of Health,' waa told
of the Incident and had the candy analysed.
The chewing gum waa paraffin. It Is said
the manufacturer did a land office busi
ness In Beatrice and people almost fought
to get to the candy.
Wsrklsg on Tax Case Anneal.
Attorney General Norrls Brown is back
at work on his reply to the appeal In the
Burlington tax suit, which he expects to
complete within a few days. Mr. Brown
believes he will get a verdict In this case
within the present year. The decision In
the 1'nlon Pacific case has not yet been
handed down, but the attorney general Is
of tha opinion that It will be the same as
In the Burlington case.
Telephone Company Incorporates.
The Farmera Creek Telephone company
filed Its articles of incorporation with the
secretary of state this morning. The capi
tal stock of the new organisation la $3,600
and the Incorporators are I. O. Walker,
C. L. Olmstead and othera. The company

county.
The New State Telephone company with
headquarters at Sioux City filed articles of
Incorporation with the secretary of state
today. The concern has a capital stock of
tl.OuO.uuU, of which $600,000 Is preferred and
entitled to a dividend of 7 per cent, payable
semi-annually, in lieu of all other profits,
and $500,000 common stock. Tha company
expects to construct lines In Nebrsska,
Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. The Incor

Peculiar Birthday Gift.
A. D. Burr, who waa 81 years of age to
day, received from his brother, C. C. Burr
of Washington, as a birthday present a
!-cent stamp with Instructions to squander
It as he saw fit. In this manner C. C. Burr
has remembered his brother's birthday for
the last twenty years. With the stamp
this time came a letter calling attention to
the fact that when a man la Just 61 years
old he Is still In his Infancy and he cited
the age of Methuselah to show what age he
might attain.
Proposal to Boycott Omaha.
To boycott Omaha and the other towns
In the state wherein the Independent tele
phone Is not used Is the substance of the
resolutions adopted by the Independent tele
phone men In convention here today. It
was set out at the meeting that In Ne
braska there are more than $.000 stock
holders in Independent companies of Ne
braska, and that It was to the Interest of
these men, some of whom are business
men and merchants, to patronise those
towns they could reach by the use of the
Independent telephone.
The action of the city council of Omaha
In refusing to allow the Independent com
panies to enter that city Is said to have
been the Inspiration for the adoption of
the resolutions. The fight at the last leg
islature was recalled and It waa stated in
the meeting that the Fishback bill was
passed by the house and was killed by the
sifting committee of the senate. Senators
Fries and Cady. it was said, voted for lift
ing; the bill, though they said they would
vote against its passage. This bill provided
for Interchanging switchboards between
the Nebraska and the independent com
panies. The following officers were elected:
Frank H. Woods of Lincoln, president; W.
Clap of Kearney, vice president; R. K. Mat-
tlson of Lincoln, secretary and treasurer;
W. J3. Bell of York, Thomaa Parmelee of
Plattsmouth, and G. K. Garlow of Colum
bus, members of the executive committee.
The convention came to an end this even
ing with a banquet at tha Llndell hotel.

"I have found Peruna to be a great remedy for catarrh. I have

since I huve been using Peruna, which has relieved me of the trouble
"I have tried many remedies and spent a great deal of hard-earned
money for them, bat 1 found nothing so effectual In the cure of catarrh
as the great medicine, Peruna.
'I feel sure that Peruna Is not only a triumph of medical science,
but It In also a blessing to suffering humanity."

Peruna a magnificent and soverign remedy." L. 11. Halsey, Bp. C. M. E

A PERFECT FOOD.
That Scott's Emulsion
should act so quickly and
satisfactorily in all cases
of lost flesh and continued
wasting is not surprising
when its food value is un
derstood. With pure Nor
wegian cod liver oil, hypo
phosphites of lime and
soda and glycerine, there
is combined in Scott's
Emulsion the best ele
ments of nourishment and
strength building known
to medical science. Any
physician will tell you this.
The use of these ingredi
ents in the proper propor
tions; the employment of
only the purest grade of
each, and to combine them
perfectly is the secret of
the success of Scott's
Emulsion. You will not
find a more certain way to
stop waste, build Mesh and
strength and supply nour
ishment than through
Scott's Emulsion.

began his merciless attack
upon the "System", , twenty
one months ago, in Every
body's magazine.
Malicious vilifi call oil
threats of suits, traps laid for
him at every turn with the
Rockefellers, Addicks, and
big insurance men (Perkins,
McCall and McCurdy) all
arrayed against him. AH
attacks have failed

dramatic bits of writing you
have ever read.
