WOES OF SMALL SHIPPER
Grief at Hands of Railroads Often
Overlooked.
TART CARLOTS LOST OR DELAYED
Man Who Htalpa In Minor nantltlee
Una aa Grent Trouble aa the
Heavier Pntrona of
Railways.
Much has bean written In the last two
years of ths difficulty of the jobbers In
getting cars, but little has been said of
the troubles of the small shlppur, the man
whose goods must go In small parcels and
part carloads. Ills grief ut the hands
of the railroads Is as groat aa that of
the man who ships several cars a day.
Traffic Is so heavy and cars so crowdnj
with a Jumbled mass of goods that ship
ments are frequently taken past their
destination and unloaded at some point
hundreds of miles away. There they muy
Ue for weeks. Cases wheru goods uiu
lost and never recovered are not lnfre-
Qiient. Other shipments are lust at Junc
tion points, where they are thrown oft
to be transferred to cars for a brunch
line.
Wagner Brothers shipped an order of
twlno July 17, to a Nebraska town. It
should have reached its, destination the
next day. July 23, Wagner Brothers lial
a telegram from the. contejfe saying ha
had not received It,
The Emerson Manufacturing company's
. Omaha branch sent six hay rukes to
Cotaefleld eurly In the season. Two of
the rukes were lost and have never been
recovered; four found their way to Cotes
Held after a couple of weeks. This com
pany recently sent a bunch of shovels to
York, Neb., and they have been lost.
Manager Rlmerman of the Omaha
branch of Henry & Allen, who deal In
mall farm supplies, complains of fre
quent loss of shipments. He notes pleas
yndy to pay for the articles lost.
Enough to Make Him Drink.
The trouble of C. W. Reynolds with the
railroads could drlye a man, -tojjrlnk and
tie mlghf "be pardoned' If the facts were
known. Mr. Reynolds is manager of the
Reynolds Refrigerator company, a local
manufacturing concern of a small capa
city, which ships as tar aa the Atlantlo
ftnd Pacific coasts. Ills shipments are
mall one, two or three refrigerators at a
time.
ImiI spring he sent a refrigerator to Co-
lumbus, O. Boon the customer began to
clamor for the refrigerator, not knowing
he ought to give the railroad company un
til Christmas at least to get It to him. At
the end of six weeks Mr. Reynolds sent
Win another, which he returned, because
be had bought a refrigerator after waiting
two weeks for the second shipment from
Omaha. The first refrigerator Mr. Rey
nolds sent he has never found.
In another Instance he had to duplicate
a shipment to a New Jersey town, tho
first shipment being at the time three
weeks overdue.
"Tills condition of things Is due to the
antiquated methods of tho railroads," says
Mr. Reynolds. "Commerce has been de
veloping at a rapid rate In the last few
years and they have not kept pace with
It. In other lines of business new methods
have been adopted to meet the growing
needs. Not so with the railroads. 'Their
business Is burled In red tape and office
methods which would aliame any one of a
thousand Jobbers you might pick out.
CITY CHAP FEELS POVERTY
eta the Blnea When He Thinks of;
What the Parmer Is
Making;.
"Yes, It's but a sorry living we poor city
fellows make." said a Omaha man to a
friend he met at lunch the other day.
"What's tha matter?" asked a friend.
Thought you were talking about laying
up money and getting rich only last week
right at this very pie counter,"
"Well, guess I was," admitted the other.
"But I've been In the country since then
and my pile looks Just like A little lump
of dirt on an elephant's back. Yes, I've
still got a small Interest In a Kansas farm
and I was down to see It last week. I felt
pretty big as the real estste agent took me
out to tho place In his buggy and I talked
about how much It was wjrth and what
the crop would amount to and all that.
"When I'd sort of run down the real
estate man sturted In. 'Had a man out
from Illinois last week looking for a farm,
he suid, 'The fellow told me he has 400
acres In Illinois for which he has been of
fered $175 an acre, $70,000 In that one bit of
property. He made it all Just by tha In-
cre.se in value of land. Another old chap

me fel sick. When I got cut to my farm
I actually felt ashamed for making the
agent cume so far Just to show me that
bunch of red soil, all grown up In weed,
and without any Improvements.
"Coming back on the train I met a man
who had been In the same town I had
and he burst right, out singing a paen of
praise for Nebraska and heaping anathe
mas on the drooping head of bleeding Kan
sas. Well, that nun had good reason to
log that kind of a song. He had been a
vuiagd butcher In an llllnol. town. Th
doctor told him hi. wife had consumption
nd could not live. Then he sold out what
little he had and struck for the west.
"He landed In Sherman county. With
the proceed, of his sale In Illinois he
bought 160 acrea on the barest kind of a
margin. Within two year, he had It paid
for. Tlien he bought other land. pay-In $J

He fattens dosens of cars of cattle and
hogs every year. He has 'loose money'
to the extent of several thousand dollars
lying In the bank all the time.
"All thin Is what's made me sore," con
cluded the man. as he recklessly ordered
a piece of lemon pie and a dish of pudding.
"Here I could plug away forty years and
never even buy an tee cream soda and I'd
never make what that fellow In Sherman
county has made in fifteen years Just
watching his land Increase In value."
And the two departed sadly from the pio
emporium.

LINCOLN. July 23.-(Speclal.)-The grand
assessment roll, with Kimball and McPher
son counties missing, retorted to the State
Board of Assessment, Is $327,l?J,G0.!n. The
assessment roll last year was 313,060,311.02,
or an Increase this year of $14,119,3795.
Kimball county lat year was assessed at
S9Q7.2X3.10 and the railroad property In that
county was Increased this year I1U.68L
Some Increase Is expected on the other
property In this county. Of the total in
crease In the assessment Ti.330,765 Is on
railroad property and $8,778,G14 on all other
property. The returns from tha two miss
ing counties will not change the lnrreasu
materially. Just what tha state board will
do with the assessment of course is not
known, but the members have already
Indicated that Lancaster will get a boost
of 20 per cent, as the county board here
made a straight cut of that amount. The
Increase now Is more than anyone esti
mated during the session of the legislature,
especially those who were anxious to get
appropriations ny levy instead or stolen
amounts. The university regents estimated
the sssessment roll at MH.OOo.ooO this year
and 3'J9,0OO,OUO In 1908. Following Is tho

Fusion I'd to Supreme Court.
The question of fusion at the primaries
Is now up to the supreme court, the ap
plication of the democrats to compel the
secretary of state to place the name of
J. I Sundean on both the democratic and
populist tickets as a candidate for regent
of the state university having been argued
today. Attorney General Thompson for the
state, among other objections to the prayer
of the democrats, said if fusion were al
lowed, an unheard of condition would re
sult In the election of 1908. In that year
only county attorneys are to be nominated
by the various counties. The county at
torney then would select the parties who
would write the platforms and select the
committees for the various parties. Should
a majority of the county attorneys be nomi
nated on a republican and democratic
ticket then a majority of those nominated
would name both committees and write
both platforms. The same would apply
to the pops and democrats. A democratic
county attorney also nominated by the
pops would name both county committees.
And this would all happen In a presidential
year. County Attorney E. E. Ross of Mer
1 .iK'inr; r., x-.. nuna ui mrr-
rick, who assisted the attorney general.
urged upon the court to consider the nrl-
mary low as a whole. That Its Intent was
to restrict the power of parties and en
large the power of the Individual. Thst
tf fusion were permitted a democrat could
have himself placed on a ticket of a partv
to which he does not belong. Judge EoomU
and Judge Tibbetts held that under sec
tion 45 fusion was provided for. The court
will hand down Its decision later.
Espreaa Companies Plead Poverty.
The State Railway commission today lis
tened to the various express companies
doing business In Nebraska plead poverty
as a basis for their objections to reducing
express charges. It wa. brought out during
mn vnn mavf
i
the hearing that the expresa companies An
not pay dividends according to the money
mode on their Investments, but estimate
their profits by a per cent of the gross
business done. It was also brought out
that the Adams Express company pays
the Burlington 67 per cent of Its earnings
and the American psys the Northwestern
40 per cent. J. H. Butler, representing the
Adams Express company, said his com
pany owned between t7,Bo0 and f.DOO worth
of property In Nebraska and cleared $5.W a
year. When Commissioner Williams asked
If this was not a pretty fair profit on
so small an Investment, Mr. Butler said
his business was one where energy and
ability counted and not the amount of
money Invested. ,
The express companies have not yet put
In force the 25 per cent reduction as pro
vided for In the Sibley bill passed by the
recent legislature, but Instead have tied the
same up In the federal courts. vThey are
fighting now to keep the commission from
issuing an order adopting those figures
or any lower rates. Other express com
panies were represented as follows: Amer
ican, J. H. Bradley; Pacific, J. p. Stebblns;
Wells, Targo A Co.. J. D. Ludlow; Amer
ican F. J. Adams. Charles J. Greene ap
peared as attorney, while Deputy Attorney
General Grant Martin was present with the
commissioners. The hearing was not Con
cluded, today.

Superintendent Thomaa of the Kearney

Much arTerlnar from Heat.
Much suffering was brought upon the peo
ple of Lincoln by the Intense heat today and
a number of cases of prostration were re
ported. At t o'clock this afternoon the
surface temperature reached about 99 de-
! rrp"' wnlle the thermometer of the local
weather bureau registered 96 degrees at
this hour. As the percent of humidity was
greater than some of the other hot days,
the heat was more readily felt.
Mrs. Flora Day, a wltress at the Engle
restaurant on South Tenth street, was
overcome by heat at about 10 o'clock this
morning while she was at work. She had
lost consciousness. City Physician Slattery
was Immediately called and the woman was
soon revived. She was taken to her room
at 135 South Tenth street and this after
noon showed signs of rapid recovery.
Shortly before noon two men working
with a concrete gang building sidewalks
at College View, became prostrated. They
were both in a critical condition and re
quired medical attention.
