Mr. Woodroush objected to the reading

Several witnesses arrived In Omaha Tues

be given an opportunity to testify Wednes

stock and produce of the new west from
800 to 1,000 miles nearer tidewater than ever
before and at the same time make a short

' l.ate Reporting.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April ".(Special.) The State
Railway commission has selected Clark
Perkins, secretary; U. O. Powell of Lincoln,
rale clerk, and Clem Crosswaite of Uni
versity Place, stenographer. The secretary
will be paid $2,000 a year, the stenographer
170 a month and Mr. Powell will be paid
1150 a month, his selection being temporary,
dupendent upon Ijow the commission gets
along. Mr. Perkins Is the secretary of the
republican state committee and until re
cently conducted a newspaper In St. Paul.
A few weeks ago he put his paper on tho
market and went to Aurora, where he is
now editing a paper owned by a stock
company. Just as soon as possible he In-
I tends to dispose of his St. Paul newspaper
plant and by Monday he expects to be in
Lincoln to take charge of his office. Cross
waite Is the son of Chaplain Crosswaite,
who served In the recent legislature, and
he is at present employed In a railroad
office here.
No rooms have yet been allotted to the
railway commission and neither has any of
the other departments been allowed to take
the rooms vacated when the legislature
met. The Stnte Board of Public Lands and
Buildings Is contemplating starting the old
elevator in the capltol and If this is done,
the third floor will be utilized for office
rooms and a number of the departments
will be removed from the first nnd second
floors, if the elevator Is started. At this
time, with one or two exceptions, the of
fices on the first floor are overcrowded
and there Is no place for the railroad com
mission. Rose May Be Collector.
Just at this time rumor has placed W. B.
Rose in the limelight with Former United
States Marshall Matthews In connection
with the office of Internal revenue collec
tor, now held by Elmer Stephenson. In
fact rumor has It. and It Is based on the
best authority, that Mr. Rose stands a
good chance to get the place If he cares
to give up his law practice to serve his
country In a different field. Ir Is supposed
that Senator Norrls Brown would rather
support Rose for the place than any one
else. Mr. Rose Is chairman of the repub
lican state committee, and previous to be
ing selected for this place he managed Sen
ator Rrown's preliminary campaign. Be
fore that time he served as assistant at
torney general under both Attorney Gen
eral Prout and Attorney General Brown,
and is at present deputy attorney general
under Mr. Thompson. Some of the friends
of Mr. Rose are talking of him for su
preme Judge to compete with Judge Sedg
wick for the republican nomination this
fall.
Smaller Roada Report.
With the exception of the three big rail
roads In Nebraska, most of the roads
doing business In the state have filed their
reports as provided for under the revenue
law for the consideration of the Stnte
Board of Assessment, which will hegln to
assess railroad property on May 6. The
ronds which have reported this year have
conformed to the demands of the statu
board and have reported their earnlnga for
Nebraska and have divided the pnssenger
and freight Income. This has been one
of the things which the railroads hnve per
slstently failed to do for years, notwith
standing the state board has been after
the information constantly. Inasmuch as
only a very few of the roads ever before
did this there can be no accurate compari
son made on the earnings in Nebraska this
year and last year.
However, the Wllmar ft Sioux Falls road,
which Is owned by the Sioux City & West
em. and not the Great Northern as gen
erally supposed, showa a decided falling
off In net earnings, considering the great
prosperity which lias come to all railroads
during the last year. This road reports a
net loss per mile In Nebraska of $2,565.66,
while last year it reported a net earning
of $3.10 a mile. This road Is 129.16 miles
In length and runs through Holt. Antelope,
Pierce. Cedar, Dixon and Dakota counties.
Its total earnings on the passenger busi
ness last year amounted to S246.lfH.fi9; its
freight earnings amounted to $171,035.93, and
from ofher sources It received $18,592.62.
Its operating expensea amounted to $577,
54.11. making a net loss of $331,876.42.
The St. Joseph & Grand Island, which
controls 112.31 milts in Nebraska, earned
by Its passenger business In Nebraska dur
ing the last year ft26.3tt.lt. on Its freight
business It earned $278,451.31 and It received
from other sources $23,425.69, making a total
gross earning of $427,238.14. The operating
expenses amounted to $297,077.36, leaving a
net earning of $129,260.78, or a net earning
per mile of $1,150.96. This road declared
no dividend. Its capital stock la $13,598,600.
Missouri Partnc Report.
The Missouri Pacific, which operates
C.M miles In Nebraska, not counting the
Pacific Railway In Nebraska, which la a
part cf the system, earned gross in Ne
braska $1,666,483.52, of which $337.89.38 la
accredited to the passenger department;
$l,2to,124.59 to the freight department, and
$127,409.55 td other sources. . The operating
expenses amounted to $1,206,816.91, and Its
net earnings to $468,666.61, or $1,500.57 a mile
for every mile It haa In Nebraska. It de
clared dividends during the year amounting
to $3,0.O70.
The Pacific Railway In Nebraska earned
$65,982.41 and its operating expenses were
just $15,106.76 more than thla sum.
The law requires that these reports shall
be filed by April 16, but the Burlington haa
already notified the state board that It
will be unable to get all Its data and have
its report filed before April 20. Ths board
will meet the first Monday In May to
begin Its work.
In the meantime Secretary Bennett la

to get In shape for It and to get the county

that law.

Two
Men Had Been Enemies Before
the Fatal Affray.
TEKAMAH, Neb., April I ( Special.)
The verdict of the Jury at the coroner's
Inquest held over the body of H. E. Austin
last night was that "Austin came to his
death frem a gun-shot wound, the gun be
ing held In the hands of Bruce Bundy."
Seven witnesses mere examined and. their
testimony disclosed the following facts:
That Austin and Bundy were enemies ow
ing to the relations between Mrs. Austin,
wife of the deceased, and Bundy; that each
had warned the other to keep off his land;
that Bundy had been seen at Austin's on
the morning of and shortly before the
quarrel and had undoubtedly been seen by
Austin, who was working In the field near
the house; that Austin came In from the
field about 11 o'clock, rut his team In the
barn and went directly over to Bundy's
house, about 200 yards away.
Knowing the conditions and thinking
there would be trouble Tommy Gregg and
Frsnk Darling, who were repairing a
wagon In the barn-yard, left their work
and followed him; when they arrived
Austin had Bundy down and was pounding
him; Bundy told Gregg nnd Darling that if
they did not take Austin off of him he
would hurt him, so they both took hold and
raised him partly off of Bundy when two
shots were fired. After shooting twice
Bundy got up off the ground and said: "I
told you I would hurt him If you did not
take him off."

Safe Cure for her restoration to heulth

rauied by dlaeaMd kidney a.
"About a year 'ago my health was
completely run down, nerves shattered,
had frequent dizzy spells, backache,
and had to pass my water frequently
snd with great Irritation. The doctor
pronounced It kidney and bladdtl;
trouble and I was under his care for
two months. Failing of rfsulu, re
solved to try Warner's Safe Cure,
which had come to me very highly
recommended. The first bottle helped
me considerably, and at th9 end of
three months I was a well woman,
without a sign of any of the many
aches and pains that had heretofore
been my lot. I feel much better than
I have in years and certainly feel grate
ful to your medicine." MR3. F. E
