OMAHA, April 13.-To the Editor of The nee: The Bee's urtlelc on thn MeKeen motor and Vice President Mohler's policy and plan to develop suburban business along the Union Pacific lines wua correct. Mud the importance of tho matter to Omaha could not be easily overstated. Mr. Mohler himself Is authority for The life's statement. As to Seymour Park's interest in the matter, Mr. Mohler'a atten tion was called to It in a conversation I hud with him a month or so ago, and It so fur arrested his attention as to lead to In quiry about It. The subject passed from my mind until Mr. McEathron, my own en gineer, told me that the Vnion Pacific en gineers hud run three lines to the southern end of Seymour lake from t lie Lano cut oft, a distance of one and one-half miles. Knowing that Mr. Mohler (or having heard, rather.) was In search of a loeatlon for Mi-Keen car shops outside the city. In an informal way I suggested to him a location on a few acres of land on the extreme southern point of the Seymour Park prop erly. These acres are remote from and are In no way connected with the high slopes, forests and glens of Seymour Park proper, which is to be I, eld exclusively for the fu ture summer homes ind permanent homes of the people of Omaha und Sooth Omaha who may desire them. UKOUOK f.. MILLER. Commercial Club Commissioner Goei to Washington on Freieht Rates. OMAHA MUST HAVE LOWER SCHEDULES tannic to Secure Redress from Rail road a, Hriort Is Made to the In state' t nmmerce tommlaalon Records at the Capital. Commissioner K. J. McVann of thK'om- mercial club left lust night for Wash ington, where he will-examine the records of the Interstate Commerce commission for Information needed by the club In Its en deavor to secure a reduction of rates from Omaha to South Dakota poinU. The rail roads have refused to allow the club to see the tariffs on freight from Floux City to South Dakota existing prlcr to Wi, when the rates were lowered for Sioux City nd were left unchanged for Omaha. This makes necessary a trip to Washington. Mr. McVann expects to return April 21. "Everybody connected with the Com mercial club knows tho Milwaukee has promised to adjust the freight rates to the north to the entire satisfaction of the Com mercial club." said a prominent official of the Milwaukee road. "A big change In rates cannot be brought aliout on a moment's notice and many points along the line of a big system have to be con sidered. Our general freight agent and our third vice president were In Omaha some time ago and both promised this should be done ajid the road is now at work on a rew tariff. The grain rates to Omaha from South Dakota will also be taken care of." What McVann lias to Say. Relative to this statement of tho railroad man. Mr. McVann said: "We have received no tariff showing that cither the Milwaukee or the North western has reduced the rates from Omaha to Sioux City to the basis In effect Decem ber S, l'.)fi. nor have we received any direct answer from them to the effect that the reduction would be made. This Is the principal point of controversy between the Commercial club and the Milwaukee road. "As to the rates to South Dakota points. the refusal of the Milwaukee and the Northwestern railroads to furnish the club essential Information necessitates the club going to the expense and trouble of send ing me to Washington to obtain the in formation. Both these roads changed the rate materially In 19(13 from Chicago, St. Paul and Sioux City to nearly all points In South Dakota, and as a matter of right and justice they should have made the same changes In the rates from Omaha to the same points. Instead, they ignored us and left our rates so high to many points that they actually exceed the rate to and from Sioux City. Omaha merchants can ship to Sioux City and reship to a large number of points in South Dakota cheaper than they can ship direct from Omaha to South Dakota. Spirit of the Milwaukee. "As to the promises mado by the Milwau kee, we first took the matter before the officials of tha; road In September, 1906, and their manner of handling It has been char acteriaed ever since by the most unfriendly spirit. It has been within their power to make, within any one month, the coirec Hons we require. Instead of doing this, they have either ignored our requests alto- gether or have put us off with Insincere and garbled statements. In view of these facts. It Is not surprising that the mer chants of Omaha want to see the tariffs embodying these changes, instead of hear ing promises to Issue these tariffs at some Indefinite date. "It is the purpose of the Individual ship pers who have been forced to pay the ex tortlonate advance from Omaha to Sioux City since December 8 to take the neces sary legal steps to recover the amounts so extorted. I have Information to the ef feet that the Milwaukee railroad In partlc ular has been making refunds to some shippers on South Dakota business where the published tariff exceeded the sum of the locals through Sioux City. This la ill ret evidence that their own officials re gurd their position In this matter as un tenable, and this evidence will be used with effect at the proper time." li an, laiiau in ii i i ia n,i n ,.n!t .-.i. - -'--'--rif'' n.na' "-- ! 1 a 1 Chicago.

Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, mure numerous. The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all these things Is com monly seen In a weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous system, which re sults In dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and In extreme cases In complete nervous prostration. It Is clearly seen that what Is needed Is what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves and keep the digestive and .Bsimllatlve functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge we can recom mend Hood's Sursaparllla for this purpose. It acts on all the vital organs, builds up the whole system and fits men and women for these high-pressure days.

HARRISON CLARK GIGS BACK Xegro Retracts statement Unrri Were Indifferent and Says They Did Their Best. "I want to withdraw what I said about my attorneys." said Harrison Clark, the negro convicted of the murder of Edward Flury. Friday morning. "I believe now they did all they could have done for mo and I am satisfied I was mistaken before After the trial closed Clark gave vent to some bitter remarks about his lawyers, Hugh Myers and E. R. Ieigh, because they did not follow his advtce in some minor details In relation to the conduct of the case. "I have talked to several people about it and I see the jury decided It did every thing it could have done for me. It can't be that everybody else thinks that, and I think the other way, without me being wrong. I'm sorry I said what I did, be cause it hurts their reputation, and I don't want to injure anybody. They are going to continue in charge of the case and will carry It up to the supreme court and fight it there." Clark gave vent to the remarks about his attorneys to reporters Thursday morn ing, but later sent word he wunted to make a new statement.

PRICE OF FLOUR ADVANCES Due to Rapid KUe In Wheat, I.oeal Market Goea t'p Twenty Centa a Barrel. Tiniir on the Omaha market has ad vanced 20 centa a barrel, or 10 cents a hundred. In the last few days, due to tne rapid advance In the price of wheat. The AVpshhurn-Crosby company's Omaha office la quoting flour at $2.26 a barrel. a against $2.15 the nrFt of the week. The commodity Is & cents a hundred higher than at any time since last Octoher. "The advance In wheat," said Manager Brown of the Washburn-Crosby company, "is due to the Improved export demand and to the government report of Wednes day, showing a much lower percentage in the condition of the winter wheat crop thai was expected by the trade. "The price of flour from now on will de pend largely on the weather. If It Is very favorable for the crop, the chance are flour will be lower, though I do not look for any decline until the middle of May at the earliest. Today it Is cold and wet in the aouthwest. and if such conditions continue . long, flour will be again ma terially advanced."

How Can It Start with a Coldt This la a reasonable question and one that must arise to the mind of almost every one when the claim la made that consump tion starts with a cold.

TREASURY TRANSFER MADE Six Hundred Thousand Dollara ( City Panda Turned Over to Hob Fink. The funds transfer' of over $600,000 of ctty In the local national hanka from City Treasurer A. It. Hennlngs to County Treasurer R. O. Fink Friday was done by the actual handling and counting of the cash in the vaults of the big Instltu tions. The two treasurers decided It would be a good thing to handle the ox change In this way. Hennlngs first checked against the amounts In favor of Fink and then the two. anrompanled by -Comptroller Lobeck, visited the banks. The demand for an actual exhibition of the cash met with a prompt and courte ous response. The three officers were con ducted Into the vaults and the amounts, ranging from $120,000 down were counted out before their eyes In gold, greenbacks, silver and to the last copper. Incidentally they were shown millions of Uncle Sam's money piled high In tha vaults. They came away impressed with the Idea that the Omaha banks were all right.
