OFFICIAL WRITES TO THE COMMISSION

(From a Staff Correspondent.) '
LINCOLN. Keb., April 2S.-(8peclal.)-That
the railroads of the state are ailU
contemplating resistance to the 2-cent pas
senger rate law was manifested by a letter
received from a Union Pacific official by ths
RaUway commission this morning. Several
days ago the commission wrote to the
various railroads asking why Nebraska
people were not given the benefit of the
J-cont rate on Interstate travel. In the let
ter received today the Union Puclflc offlclaf
states that the attorneys of his road and
others are seriously contemplating attack
ing the validity of the law In the courts.
Another reason for not rearranging the
passenger schedules Is that the 2-cent laws
to Iowa and Missouri do not go Into effect
for two or three months yet, and to make
up new Interstate schedules now. for the
benefit of Nebraska people only, would In
volve a great deal of trouble and expense,
all of which would have to be gone over
again In a short time.
As the stock shlppplng season Is now on
the Railway commission Is receiving many
complaints from shippers In the western
part of the state who assert that they are
unable to get a sufficient number of cars
to bring their stock to market. The rail
road admit that they have been unable to
supply the demand, but state further that
the t raffle. Is twice as heavy as It ever was
before and that they are doing the best
they can. The commission took the matter
up with Superintendent Byram of the Bur
llngton Saturday, and on Sunday 300 cars
were started west from Plattsmouth to re
lieve the situation.
The Armour refrigerator car line has re
fused to comply with the request of the com
mission and submit Us rate schedules. In
a communication from the attorney of the
corporation controlling the cars, the state
ment Is made that the company has noth
ing to report. He says that his company
does Its business with the railroads ex
clusively and not with the public generally,
so he does not consider that It comes under
the Jurisdiction of the commission. The
law gives the commission control over
private enr lines and It will Insist on the
Armour lines complying; with Its orders.
Chairman Wlnnett today discussed the
matter with Attorney General Thompson,
but no line of procedure wss decided upon.
All the railroads and express companies
have now sent In their schedules, those of
the Burlington and the Omaha Street Rail
way company being received today.
Representative P. 8. Tucker of Florence
called on the commission today relative to
the 10-eent fare charged residents of his
municipality by the street railway com
pany. After he had talked the matter over
with the commissioners he expressed hlm
' self as feellnp atlsfled that relief would be
forthcoming In a short time.
Work for Grand Jury.
The first grand Jury to sit In Inncsster
county In nearly a, dnsen years Is now In
session. The Inquisitors wero called to

the Jurors, who are sixteen in number, to
devote special attention to alleged fraudu
lent voting at the recent republican pri
mary In the , First ward of Lincoln, the
methods of the alleged bridge trust and the
holdups practiced upon Lincoln saloon men
in connection with protesting applications
for licenses.

I.raa May Sot Get Place
It may be that Oeorge B. Lean will not
be appointed bank examiner after all, for
since the publication of the fact that two
members of the banking board were con
templating putting him on the pay roll.
It has developed that there Is no need for
a firth examiner, the appropriation for such
an official having been put Into the salary
bill In the absence of any request from the
secretary of the banking board and without
his knowledge. Senator E. D. Gould Is
credited with having the item Inserted. At
torney Oeneral Thompson has announced
that he will oppose the appointment of an
additional examiner If it should develop
that such an official Is unnecessary.

It Is generally known that the inter
nal revenue laws prohibit the use of a
cigar box for packing cigars more than
once. This entails an unnecessary con
sumption of valuable cedar wood for ths
manufacture of cigar boxes, and It Is es
timated that cigar boxes to the value of
$5,000,000 are destroyed every year, wltli
the result that the supply of cedar for that
purposo Is being rapidly exhausted. The
F. R. Rice Mercantile Cigar company of
Bt. Louis has solved the problem of both
dealer and smoker. This Arm has patented
a glass Jnr with an air-tight screw top
which Is easily removed by a simple half
way twist. The tops are lined with as
bestos and fit the jars absolutely alr-tlght,
thus keeping the cigars at all tlmee fresh
and at Just the right degree of moisture
to Insure a cool, fragrant smoke. This
firm manufactures the well-known Mer
cantile cigar, which. In the many years

TRIP FOR BUSINESS AND NOT PLEASURE.

Those In (barge of
the Jaunt.
In conformity with the wishes of most of
the business men who expect to partici
pate In the "great northwest" trade ex
cursion of the Commercial club In June,
the time of the excursion has been short
ened to sixteen days, after hard work by
the committee In charge of the Itinerary,
without decreasing the number of cities
to be covered. The new schedule will be
submitted for approval to the trade ex
tension committee at Its regular meeting
next Wednesday and will then be published
as revised.
On account of the time to be spent on
the excursion the comfort of the excursion
ists is being given great consideration and
every facility will be provided. A com
plete telephone system, with private ex
change, Is to be Installed on the train by
the Nebraska Telephone company and con.
nectlons made with every car. An expert
electrician will be detailed by General Man
ager Lane to keep the wires In working
order.
Another convenience to be provided Is the
services of one ot two expert stenogra
phers to care for the correspondence of the
participants enroute and a barber will be
taken along In order to keep the Omaha
boosters" In p esentable appearance.

the result of investments made by care-free, well-to-do
