TWENTY-SEVEN-YEAR GRIP NOT BROKEN
Makes Hedaetlon at Seven Per
Cent the Government la the
Tost of Haallaa tha
Mall.
Information has been received from the
Rock Island Chicago offices that the con
tract for hauling the transcontlnentsl mall.
for which a contest has been waged since
the first of the year, has been let to the
Burlington road. For over twenty years
the Burlington has been recognised as the
official mall route for carrying the trans
continental mall from Chicago west end
although many efforts have been made to
wrest ' this contract from the Burlington,
all have been unsuccessful.
The Rock Island made an effort about
the first of the year to get this mall and
succeeded In getting the mail from Chi
cago to Omaha. This was possible because
of the saving of time in transporting the
mall across Chicago, a connection being
made with the eastern roads at Englewood.
When the fight was on the Burlington
voluntarily reduced the cost to the gov
ernment 7 per cent, or about 165,000, which
was about the cost of carrying the mall
across Chicago.
John E. Utt. local commercial agent of
the Rock Island, said his company did not
expect to get the transcontinental contract
when it went after It but was simply after
the Omaha business and the transcon
tinental business was an after thought
which It thought It might be able to land
after It had secured the Omaha contract
Help for the Railroads.
t-v,- rvimmAOTini Muh nf Omaha, as well
as all the banks and othir large commer- J
clal Interests, have wired to Washington
asking that the railroads be given a hear
ing before the house committee, which pro
poses to cut the appropriations for carry
ing malls about 30 per cent. The house
proposed to make this radical reduction
without giving the railroads an opportunity
to be heard and a storm of protest has
been raised all over the country. The last
hearing had on this matter was In 1899,
when it was reported the rate was reason
able and no raise has been made In tha
rates since that time, although all prices
of labor and material have been raised.
The executive committee of the Commer
cial club at Its meeting Tuesday passed a
resolution asking congress to give the rail
roads a hearing on the matter.
Proportional Rates Stand.
"The Rock Island will not withdraw the
proportional rates from Omaha on grain
originating In Iowa," said John E. Utt
commercial agent of the Rock Island, re
ferring to a statement In the Evening
Pinkeye Tuesday to the effect that his road
would "knife Omaha."
"Borne time ago It was agreed with the
rther roads to take out the proportionals.
but when the arrangement fell through
this office received Instructions to Inform
the grain men the new tariffs had been
withdrawn, which were to have gone Into
effect February 28," said Mr. Utt "This
was on February 5. Since then there has
been no Intention of changing the tariffs."

AGAINST TWO-CENT FARE
Omaha Commercial Club Ooea on Eecnd
' Opposed to Cut.
SAYS IT WCULD RETARD GROWTH Of STATE
Deelares eed af Better Service and
Larger Facilities la Para
monnt to Rednctloa la
Pnsaensrer Ratea.
Just while the Nebraska legislature la
In the throes of an agitation for reduced
passenger fare the Omaha Commercial
club has taken a stand against a 2-cent
fare. The transportation committee of
the club held a special meeting Monday to
draft resolutions and at the meeting Tues
dny of the executive committee submitted
the following, which were passed:
Resolved, That In the opinion of the
executive committee of thB Commercial
club of Omaha a uniform reduction of pas
senger rates In the stnte of Nebraska to
2 cents Per mile at the present time wmilJ
retard the prowl h and development of the
stste and would be unfair to the trans
portation companies.
Resolved, That In our opinion the people
of this state need more and better trans
portation facilities In the way of addi
tional trains and equipment, double tracks,
Improved terminals and other general Im
provements, to the end that the passengtr
and freight business of the state may be
transacted with greater facility.
The main argument advance by the
Commercial club people Is that the de
crease In the revenues of the railroads
would prevent them from double-tracking.
Increasing their equipment and otherwise
Improving their transportation facilities
It Is also considered unjust to the rail
roads to reduce fare In a sparsely settled
country, such as western Nebraska Is, be
low the rate paid In some of the thickly
settled states. Even If some of the east
ern states pay 2 cents a mile the fare In
Nebraska ouirht to be S cents, because the
population Is not so dense, says the Com
mercial club.
Less Than Two Cents.
Stntlptlcs' gathered by the transportation
committee of the club show that present
passenger rates for the entire country
average less than 2 cents a mile, taking
Into consideration all excursions and re
duced rates. In Ncbrsska the average Is
said to be 1.9 cents. The argument Is ad
vanced that If the law brings the maximum
rate down to 2 cents, the railroads will
be compelled to make 2 cents the minimum,
abolishing special rates. This would abol
ish merchants' rates to Omaha and Lin
coln,, special rates to state arid county
fairs and special rates to chatauquaa In
all parts of the state.
"We want to see nothing but what Is
fair," said Chairman Charles U. Pickens
of the transportation committee, "and I
believe the railroads cannot operate their
passenger service at a profit If a reduction
Is to be made. They could not Increase
their equipment. We need better trains
andnore trains, and the railroads are not
going to give them to ua If we cut the
passenger rate,
"We are, however, In favor of t-cent
fare for commercial travelers on the west
side of the river, which they enjoy on the
east side of the river. But this Is another
proposition."

PURITY
OF
PROCESS
Means Excellence of the
Preparation,
Think of nearly ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS of boxes of
Cascarets sold in the last eleven years, all on the pure merit of
this wonderful preparation, and every tablet of nearly a BILLION
TABLETS having: exactly the same Purity, Quality and Medi
cinal Merit as the rest of them. It is the PURITY OF PRO
CESS that made this seeming: miracle possible purity in the
sense of exactness, nicety, care and selection.
When, in 1896, Cascarets were first created, the purpose of its makers
was to make the best Bowel Remedy ever designed and compounded. Tha
preparation was to be pure and harmless, made by PURE PROCESSES,
and sold under a pure promise that it would accomplish always what was
claimed, with the alternative of a guaranty or money refunded.
The grateful recommendation of hundreds of thousands of pleased)
patrons who found Cascarets to be TRUE and dependable was by far the)
greatest element in the promotion of their success.
Now that the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACT has gone into effect,
we cannot refrain from welcoming it for the benefit of the people, and at
the same time from claiming that we adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUGS
Act in 1896, and by steadfast adherence to the principles then set to guide
us, have convinced the world of the power of purity and truth as exem
plified by Cascarets, a pure, honest, harmless, reliable article for the pre
vention and alleviation of all diseases of the stomach and bowels. '
What stronger argument than the favor of millions of satisfied friends,
of whom hundreds of thousands have been relieved of great sufferings, can
be offered to him or her who has not tried Cascarets when in trouble? The
slightest attack of irregularity, costiveness, colic, headache, flatulency, all
the signs of impending CONSTIPATION should be heeded as a warning,
and immediate recourse be taken to that great preventive of disease, Cas
carets. The specific purpose of Cascarets is not alone as a treatment for tha
cure of Constipation, but even more so, to keep the entire food-canal clean
and antiseptic, destroying all disease germs before they can form a lodg
ing and start .their iniquitous activity.
Those who have never tried Cascarets. as an immediate laxative, relU
able cathartic, a positive preventive and the best all-around FAMILY
MEDICINE, should go to their own druggist TODAY and buy a little
10c. box surely not too risky an investment. They will be convinced and
added to our millions of friends. Be sure you get the kind you ask for
Cascarets, the only original, genuine, every tablet marked "C C C" . 75s
