HEARIH6 AT THE FEDERAL BUILDING
Fsoeoedlnsj Came l' Protest of
. Crala Exchange Against t'nlea
Pacta for Raising
the Charge.
Th report that Commissioner Clark? of
th Interstate Commerce commission would
be In Omaha Friday to take further testi
mony In th grain cases waa erroneous.
Monday Is tha data aet for tha hearing of
tha protest of tha Omaha Grain exchange
gainst tha Union Pacific for raising the
witching chargea on grain from Council
Bluffs to Omaha and Bouth Omaha from
tl per car to 1 cent per hundred, which on
tha larger cars Is IS a car.
Mr. Clark baa notified the United States
marshal and Judge Munger ha will be in
Omaha Monday.
After the announcement of the raise was
made by tha Union Paclfio the Great West
ern stepped Into the breach and published
a tariff whereby It proposed to haul grain
free to elevators on its own lines and for
$2 to elevators on other roads in Omaha
and South Omaha. It was thought the
Grain exchange would drop Its ease after
the Great Western published its rat.
BOUTH M'AL, ESTER, L T., Feb. 8.-43. A.
Prouty, Interstate commerce commissioner,
resumed his hearing here today. A number
of railroad officials were subpoenaed to
testify regarding the continued car short
age and slow movement of freight In this
territory.
New Reciprocal Demurrage BUI.
Speaking of the new reciprocal demurrage
, bill drafted as a substitute for the defec
tive one In the legislature, which Imposes
an obligation on the railroads to serve no
tice upon consignees of arrival of all car
loads and less than carloads of freight by
telephone, and all such notices to be con
firmed In writing by mall or otherwise, a
railroad official says:
"Railroads now serve such notices where
they are required, but this act requires a
double notice, regardless of necessity. This
would require a heavy unnecessary in
creased expenditure throughout the state.
For the Burlington the average number of
consignees per day at Lincoln is 112, making
1,6M notices per day on less than carload,
freight, making a total of 2,224 double no
tices per day at Omaha and Lincoln.
"The established practice for merchants
at small stations, as well as the larger
points. Is to leave standing orders with
authorized draymen to ' accept from the
railroad company and deliver any freight
V which might arrive, and under this system
notices have been necessary on less than
11 per cent of less than carload freight at
Lincoln and Omaha, . At the Lincoln freight
bouse the Burlington has seven Individual
telephones and at Omaha nine, and figuring
three minutes per' call, it would take forty
hours per day to serve these notices over
these 'phones.,
Editors Want Cheap Rates.
' The Nebraska Editorial association has
applied to the railroads to have a fare
and one-third rate given for the meeting
which will be held In Omaha February 2a
Wblls thla rate will be granted. It is some
thing new In Nebraska, for these a I tors
Tnave heretofore traveled on advert.slng
transportation, but the railroads this year
found themselves In the regrettable posi
tion of being unable to give any such trans
tsrtatlom Railroad contracts with news-
papers are 'now for cash and tha railroads
no longer have any newspaper transporta
tion; It was all put In the furnaces and
burned up.
Protest Against Cat Rates.
A protest has been made by the Inter
state Merchants' association to the legisla
ture of Missouri, one of the most Influential
mercantile associations In Missouri, against
the paxsage of the proposed 2-cent pas
senger bill In Missouri. The principal ar
gument Is the recognised need In Missouri
for better railroad facilities Instead of
cheaper railroad fares. It was shown that
commercial Interests had grown JO0 per
cent, while their railroads had Increased
but tl per cent In the last v, decade, and
there was great need of more railroads.
Marhlnerr for Hew Motors.
. Considerable of the machinery . for the
twenty new motor cars which the Union
Pacific Is to build has been ordered and
some of the frames are being built. While
not much of the machinery Is on hand for
this large order everything Is being placed
In readiness for the speedy completion of
the cars as soon as the material arrlvea.
The cars which have been In service for
some time have been giving eminent satis
faction, especially those of the latest type,
which are of a larger horse-power.

WOMAN THINKS DOG IS MAD
Mrs. W. C. Yoder Bitten by Canine
that Also Bites Her
Pet Pap.
Mrs. W. C. Toder of 623 South Seven
teenth avenue was severely bitten Friday
morning on her left arm by a curly-haired
dog she claimed was mad. The truculent
canine also bit two pet dogs In the Toder
neighborhood. Mrs. Yodel's screams for
help attracted several men, who armed
themselves with pitchforks and clubs and
started In pursuit of the dog, but without
success. Patrolman Brown was detailed
from police headquarters to shoot the dog,
but he, too, failed of his mission, the dog
having escaped In the meantime. Mrs.
Yoder waa attended by Dr. C. Impey. The
alleged mad dog bit Mrs. Yoder's pet dog,
which In turn bit a dog owned by Mrs. John
Dahrak of 625 South Seventeenth street. ..
TUT A UNIVERSAL
Jfll BLOOD DISEASE
Catarrh is usually worse in Winter, because of the cold, damp and
enddenly changing climate. Colds are contracted, and neglected and as the
secretions from the different inflamed membranes are absorbed into the blooa
the unpleasant symptoms of the disease commence. The nostrils are
stopped up and a constant dropping of mucous back into the throat keeps
up continual hawking and spitting. The patient has dull headaches,
nging noises in the ears, and often slight fever and a depressed, half-sick
feeling accompanies the disease. The blood becomes so fully charged with
catarrhal matter that stomach troubles are brought on, the kidneys and
bladder are affected, and if the blood is not purified of the poison the lungs
become diseased because of the constant passage of impure blood through
them. Catarrh cannot be cured with washes, sprays, inhalations and such
treatment ; these cannot reaesVthe poison-laden blood where the real cause is
located, and can only give temporary relief
and comfort. A disease which affects the
entire blood supply as does Catarrh, must
be treated with a blood ourifier. 55 s R
QHO is the best remedy for Catarrh, which has
. . grown to be a universal disease. It goes to
VEGETABLE the bottom of the trouble, rids the blood of
the catarrhal matter, reinvigorates the cir
culation, and cures this disgusting disease permanently. When S. S. S. has
purified the blood every part of the system receives a supply of fresh,
healthy blood ; then the inflamed membranes heal and every symptom of
Catarrh passes away. Write for our book containing information about
Catarrh, and ask for any medical advice you desire. No charge is made for

OMAIIA, Feb. . To the Editor of The
Bee: It gave much personal satisfaction,
I am sur, to many cltlsens of Omaha, as
It did to me, to find In The Bee's fine and
exhaustive tribute to Omaha's departed
nobleman and philanthropist. Count Crelgh
ton, a revival of the memory and good
works of John Lee. He was a humble and
modest man, poor In purse, but a double
millionaire In heart and soul and In good
deeds and works in behalf of suffering
humanity. I knew him long and well, and
few among ua had better opportunity than
I bad to bear witness to that good man's
constant devotion and every -day succors
to needy men, women and children In
Omaha. For many years, for all the years
of life which God gave him here, his works
among them never ceased. It waa Edward
Crelghton, nof Count Crelghton, who first
put money Into the trusted hands of John
Lee to feed the hungry and clothe the
naked poor of our city, seconded In the
same manner by his noble wife, Lucre tla
Crelghton,' and' It was their high example
of Christaln charity and benevolence to
which Count Crelghton succeed ed In sup
porting John Lee, who never wearied In
bis work of doing good to the poor, and In
so many ways In the noble life of this
great man at whose grave all Omaha
bows today In grief, in sorrow and In
mourning. When Edward Crelghton was
In any doubt about giving. It waa to John
Lee, th pure and .honest John Lee, that
he referred for decision and for action as
long as he lived, , and Count Crelghton, I
doubt not, did the same things during the
life of that good man.
It may not be out of place In this eon.
nectlon to say, with Intimate personal
familiarity with the facta, that In the
earlier days, even before Edward Crelgh
ton had come Into his larger fortune, that
bis open hand of charity was extended to
the poor through others In the Protestant
communion of several churches. For this
service he selected Mrs. George W. Homan,
Henry Homan's mother, a splendid woman;
Mrs. John H. Kellom, of sainted memory,
whose good name th Kellom school bears;
Mrs. Experience Estabrook of endearing
life and memory, and one or two others.
These good women would tell me of hla
putting money Into their hands, . day by
day, week by week, for the needy, asking
no questions as to how they should use it.
Only thla question would Edward Crelgh
ton ask of each, betimes: "Do you need
any more?" But It waa John Lee who did
th broader work, the faithful,, devoted
child of the Roman Cathollo communion.

' Tho Omaha Fireman.
OMAHA, Feb.-8. To the Editor of The
Bee: The bill now pending before the
legislature, known as the "Leeder bill," to
provide for a double shift for Omaha fire
men. Is worthy of more generous consider
ation than It is receiving from the so-called
business Interests of Omaha.
The attitude of the Commercial club.
which pretends to speak for the business
Interests, Is selfish, unjust, and does not.
In my Judgment, voice the sentiment or
meet the approval of our people. Their
chief objection Is that If this bill becomes
a law It will Increase the cost of the Are
department, and thereby Increase taxes.
Such a condition would not necessarily
follow If proper management was given to
tne taxes already levied.
But grant that taxes will be Increased.
Is that a Justifiable argument , against a
measure which means more humane treat
ment of the firemen? No one will deny
mat their work Is dangerous and many
times heroic. They are called forth at a
moment's notice to do work which tries
man's courage, and without delay or hesi
tation they give their limbs and lives for
the protection of the property and safety
of the city, and they often leave widows
and orphans In their effort to. protect Just
such selfish men who now seek for mer
cenary reasons to deprive , them of some
home life, some culture, some pleasure,
and some opportunity to enjoy the city
which they ao nobly protect.
It Is not a good government which seeks
to throttle man's aspirations for better
things In life. It is not a good government
which compels Its servants to perform
labor twenty-four hours a day. But some
business men aay If the firemen are not
content with present conditions others will
take their placea. What a Christian spirit
they demonstrate! These firemen have de
voted a good share of their lives to the
business. They have families to support.
They cannot readily adopt themselves to
other callings, and no Just employer would
demand It of them.
The firemen, as a rule, own little homes
In our city, which they have paid tor by
their savings. They spend their money in
our city, and these business men get It.
And now that they ask for Just, fair and
decent treatment some greedy persons cry,
"No more taxes," which would not follow
providing more care waa taken to prevent
some of the business interests from mulct
ing the publio treasury whenever an , op
portunity presents, in the way of their
obtaining exorbitant prices from the gov
ernment and the people tor the'r goods and
warea. It does not look wed for these
business men to exhibit such a spirit
toward their fellow men,' who are vitally
Interested In the welfare of our city as they
can be. and who are far more patriotic.
We must help one another, and share the
burden and pleasures of life equally. No
permanent good will come to our city by
the unjust position taken by these so-called
business Interests In this matter.

The people of this country have been prod

I understand that the Cassidy tract la com
posed of about two blocks of ground, while
I am told that there are about thirty-five
acres In Syndicate park. It Is not a ques
tion of annexation, but one of common
sense as to which tract of land will make
the most suitable park not 'only for the
present but for all future time. Mr. Camp
bell and I will pass from this life, but the
park will remain for future generations
and the best should be chosen. I do not
make the threat of voting for anrexatlon
If the city council and park board do not
decide oh Syndicate park, nor am I in
the employ of the owners of Syndicate
park, as some of the Cassidy boomers are
said to be, to boom that tract, but I think
the boards should decide not only for the
present, but for all time to come. People
from other states have told, me when they
saw Syndicate park that It Is th finest
natural park they ever saw. There are
also a good many respectable people living
near Syndicate park who are not making
threats of what they will do If the council
does this or that thing about parka, though
I believe two people up there favor an

Second Class Mall Matter.
NIOBRARA. Neb., Feb. ITo the Editor
of The Bee: The resolution sent to Senator
MiUard and Congressman Kennedy by the
Omaha Commercial club regarding the re
classification of second class (newspaper
and periodical) mall matter, I hope haa
been done wisely and In the Interest of
newspapers and periodical. From my
reading, however, I Judge that the club
has gone wild and taken up a subject that
It knows very little about.
The Be had a very suggestive editorial
regarding the report of the Joint commis
sion of congress, but I think It might have
gone more Into detail on some features of
this, In some particulars, vicious report.
The point of quality of paper being uniform
seems very narrow when we consider ben
efits reached. - The art journals and high
class magazines, let alone the enterprising
Sunday dallies, would be greatly handi
capped. The printer's craft haa In th In
land Ft'.rter, as an Illustration of high
class printing, many feature that are
helpful In artistic composition, made pos
sible by the elaborate advertising dons by
the high-class paper manufacturers, who
furnish samples of their superior outputs
In tints and weights that roust be barred
from the mails should those hostile to the
press have their way.
Third Assistant Postmaster General Mad
den haa lived on hobbles against the legiti
mate press for many years, seemingly un
disturbed. He and former Congressman
Ixud were the disturbing elements years
ago, until finally we retired Loud. Now we
have Penrose to take his place. I am a
1 victim of Mr. Madden's hobby In that after
five months of labor trying to get recogni
tion In a worthy effort to establish a mag
azine he waa tha means of confiscating my
deposits pending admission, and I have hid
robbed from me "robbed" Is the word, Mr.
Editor that much to go toward reducing
the deficit. And It all waa because I In
sisted upon my right under the plain lw
to free county delivery. My magazine was
designed as a local undertaking, because I
had anme good local matter In hand: bo
sldes, I could not undertake one on a large
scale because of a lack of capital. So I am
compelled to begin this worry of seeking
admission to the second-class rate all over
with a doubt as to what will become of
future deposits with a fear that I shall
have them afaia confiscated to fcolf out
that deficit of the Poetofflce department
The second-class postal rate law needs no
overhauling. A good, honorable business
man at the head of the division that now
harbors Mr. Madden ought to be sufficient.
The law could be no plainer than It already
is. But the administration could be more
manly and fair. A man who dares to ad
vocate that newspapers must pay 4 cent a
pound for postage Is certainly not a fit man
to be the servant of a wide-awake, reading
people. Aa Americans we want all the
reading we can get. If It Is good and whole
some and at prices that are within reach.
The Poetofflce department was not insti
tuted to become a profit-bearing branch of
this government, but a carrier of accommo
dation to the people at large.

Lain ties at State Farm.
PALMYRA. Neb., Feb. 8. To the Editor
of The Bee: I wish some Information re
garding the following:
I see by the papers that Representative
McMuIlen of Oage county Introduced a bill
to appropriate 1180,000 for Improvements on
the state' farm In Lincoln. I, as well as
many others, would like to know how much
money has bean appropriated for said
farm.
Two Items that drew my attention were:
First, for completion and equipment of the
woman's building, $38,000. Second, for houses
for farm attendants, 16,000.
If we are able to ascertain the amount
already expended on this Institution we
will have a very good Idea of the luxuries
they are enjoying at said state farm.
I commenced farming In Nebraska In the
spring of 1S&7, and hay raised a crop every
year since, making fifty in all. As far as I
am concerned this state farm has never
been one penny's worth of benefit to me,
and I voice the sentiments of numerous
other practical farmers In my vicinity.
I paid my first taxes In 1S58 and have
paid them every year since, and I would
like very much to know how such money
is being spent J. R. M KEE.
JAPAN IN NO MOOD FOR WAR
Mikado Has Not th Desire or Means.
Declare aa Eminent
Filipino.
Dr. Ramon Reyes Lala of Manila ts at !
the Paxton. Ho is a native Filipino and
a graduate of Oxford university. He Is
delivering a course of lectures throughout
the United States on the subject of "The
Philippines and Their People."
He lectured Thursday evening In St Paul
and Is en route to McCook, where he next
lectures on the evening of February 16. In
the meanwhile he may lecture In Omaha
during hla stay of a week.
"I have not the slightest faith in the
possibility or probability of any hostilities
ensuing between Japan and the United
States," said Dr. Lala, "In the first place
Japan haa no desire to engage In any more
wars until It can recoup Itself from Its late
war with Russia. The financial condition
of Japan la at a very low ebb just now
from Its tremendous expenditures of recent
years. And then again with Its acquire
ment of the suzeranlty of Cores and Man
churia and the government of Formosa,
all of its tact of diplomacy will be called
Into requisition to look after Its Internal
affairs.
"Of the Philippine and Filipino there
Is much to be said. The splendid edu
cational system instituted by the United
States government is having a wonderful
effect upon our people. Over KO.000 Filipino
children are now In the publio schools of
the Islands, and they are becoming rapidly
Americanised and will be the future main
stay of the American government there.
"America has done more for the Filipinos
In the eight years of its occupancy of the
Islands than waa done by Spain in 800
years. The Industrial resources of the
Islands are being rapidly developed and all
that Is needed there, now la free trade, or
at least an adjustment of the tariff on the
American' basis. Manila ha been meta
morphosed into a modern city, with forty
or more miles of one of the best electrla
railway systems In the world. The sanitary
conditions of the city and : elsewhere
throughout the Islands has been marvel
ously Improved, and. In brief, the entire
archipelago has been electrified Into new
life by American methods. Tha question
of Independence Is one for the future.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER
Women hare so much to go through
in life that it is a pity there is so
much needless suffering from back
ache, headache, dizziness, languor and
other common aches and ills of kid
ney 'complaint.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
new life and strength to thousands of
women afflicted in this way.
Women are prone to kidney trouble.
They have so much Indoor work to
do, so much lifting, bending and
stooping; they are bound by custom to
tight, heavy clothing. They get little
outdoor exercise, and any little cold
may bring on kidney weakness.
Don't worry if you feel tired and
dragged out if you have backache
and bearing-down pain, headache,
dizzy spells, falntness and lack ambi
tion. Don't think it's some trouble
peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the
same way when they have kidney
trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a special
medicine for the kjdneys, and do not
affect the bowels or any other organs.
There is not a particle of poison in
them just the pure roots and herbs

OMAHA TESTIMOXYt
Mrs. J. W. Edwards, of J733 Fowler ,
St., Omaha, Neb., says: "I must say
that I had not. much confidence in
Doan's Kidney Pills before I used
them, but I was troubled with symp
toms of kidney complaint and suf
fered so severely that I was compelled
to do something and went to Kuhn &
Co's. drug store for a box. They soon
convinced me of their value, and, after
completing the treatment, I was not
troubled. (From statement made in
1900.)
PERMANENT CURE
"The statement I made In the spring
of 1899 about Doan's Kidney Pills
curing me of backache and symptoms
of kidney complaint which clung to me
for five or six years, and at times made
me quite miserable, was not only true,
but daring the years which have
elapsed, the cure then effected has
practically been permanent."
