The sition of the railroad officials and
business men is Illustrated In the situa
tion of the Illinois Central, which hairK
lumber into Omaha in competition with
shorter southern lines, sjjch aa the Wabash
and Missouri Pacific. The line or the Illi
nois Central brings lumber from Arkansas
and Mississippi op the Yasoo and Missis
sippi Valley line to a point In northern
Illinois and then through northern Iowa
and down into Omaha at the same rate
j shorter lines.
j "It would be Just as sensible for Fort
Dodge. Ia., and all the little stations along
! the Illinois Central In Iowa to demand
that they be given the same rate as made
to Omaha, or even a lower rate, as for
Lincoln to ' attempt to secure the short
haul rates on the Rock Island." said a
shipper. "It would put the Illinois Cen
tral company out of the business of haul
ing lumber from the south and that fs
all It would do. It would be out of the
Omaha tre.fflc and no one would gain any
thing, while competition would be de
stroyed as far as the Illinois Central la a
competitor ofytlie southern roads." '

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
MNCOI.X, Feb, 5. 3pecial-The Bur
lington railrond wants to reduce the length
of Its bridge near Fremont from I.4C feet
to 1 yn fet by filing In the approaches.
Objection was filed with the Stale Railway
commission by numerous property owners,
who contend to permit the conratlon to
do this would cause the river to overflifw
and damage the adjacent property. The
matter was discussed Informally with the
members t f the commission this morning
by Superintendent Bignell of the Burling
ton, who contended that Instead of causing
ilamaee to property It would prevent dum
e. The reason for the shortening of the
bridge, lie explained. Is to reduce the width
of the channel of the river and enable the
Water to cut the channel deeper, thus pre
venting a blockade of Ice, as frequently
occurs. Mr. Bignell told the board that
where bridges had been ehortened and the
channel narrowed satisfaction had resulted
and overflows hod been prevented. Bridges
have been shortened, he said, as follows:
Ashland, from 2,73 to 1.63S feet; Schuyler,
2.SO to 1.840 feet; Columbus. 2.790 to 1.2M):
Central City, 2.90 to 1.6B2 feet; Grand Is
land. 2,9 to 1.648 feet: Kearney, 3,720 to
I, 724 feet ; Bridgeport, 3.500 to 1.792 feet. No
trouble has 1 been experienced at any of
these places since the shortening of the
bridges, he said, except at Columbus, and
that was caused, he believed, by the bridge
not being shortened sufficient.
Xewaaaper Telearapn. Rate Leaal.
The State Railway commission wrote a
letter this morning to Attorney Meyers of
Alma, who complained against telegraph
companies making a reduced rate to news
papers. The letter called the attorney's
attention to the statutes which provides
for this reduced rate to all newspapers and
Inasmuch as that statute has not been
changed, by the legislature and for the
further reason that reduced telegraph rates
to newspapers Is In the Interest of the
public, the commission has no authority
to do anything In tha matter.

Rock Island Appeals.
The Rock Island Pailroad company today
appealed to the district court from the re
cent order of the State Railway commis
sion directing it to maintain a passenger
and freight depot at the town of Univer
sity Place. The petition of the railroad re
vives the whole question of the rights of
railroads and the power of the commission.
It is asserted that the state commission
liv is unconstitutional because it Is an
Interference with Interstate commerce. Is
unreasonable and deprives the company of
its property without due process of law;
takes private property for public use wlth
tut compensation, and finally, that it dis
hallows the petitioner of its rights to trial
by jury.

of a state hospital at Kankakee, 111., was

Harmony Dream Yaalshee.
! The dream of the I.araster republicans
i that they would be able to agree upon a
Lancaster cou"y man to recommend to
the state convention aa a dclegale-at-large
to the national convention never passed-
the dream stage. It has been practically
agreed by' the republicans who usually
pull off the things In this county that
Judge A. V. Field should havo the dele
gation to the state convention to use to
secare a place on the national delegation.
Now the Union Veterans' Republican club
haa endorsed Judge J. B. Strode for the
place. The two men wlU fight tt out and
the fight is liable to be a hot on". It be
came known today that If the friends of
Judge Strode were uble to control the
county convention. Judge Lincoln Frost
would be endorsed for district delegate.
Kir some time It has been talked that
Judge Frost desired to go to the national
convention, but that he did not want to
be compelleU to make a fight to secure
his own county Should Judge Strode be
able to control tie convention this would
relieve Judge Frost ef making any fight.
Friends of Judge Field seem to - think
Lancaster county ran hardly hope to se
cure a delegate-at-large to the convention
and also a district delegate. Inasmuch as
there are seven counties in the district.
S. If. Burnhsm Is also a candidate for
district delegate and before the county
convention is held on the 14th H is prob
able there will be more candidates for
district delegates.
ftrria-wlrk Nat a Candidate.
"I am not a candidate for delegnte-at-large
to the republican national conven
tion." said former Chief Justice Sedgwick,
while in Lincoln today. "Should the state
convention unanimously call upon me to
be a delegate I would accept, but I would
not ask a single friend of mine to try to
get me endorsed, and neither will I d
anything for myself."
Judge Sedgwick has been frequently men
tioned as a proboble candidate for dele
gate-at-large, and he was asked today if
he Intended to be a candidate. He an
swered as set out above, and continuing
he said:
"I believe the republicans of Nebraska
are in favor of tha nomination of Secretary
Taft for president, and I believe the re
publican state convention will Instruct the
delegation to be for him. Secretary Taft
represents all that the republicans of the
state stand for. and he has the ability to
be president."

In chambers court 'today District Judge
H. D. Travis handed down his decision ia
the case of the State of Nebraska against
Dr. A. P. Barnes of this city, in which he
was given a trial on the charge of being
engaged in the practice of veterinary sur
gery, veterinary medicine and veterinary
dentistry without first having obtained a
certificate or license from the State Board
of Examiners of the State Board of Veter
inary Medicine authorizing him toprac
tice In this state, and unlawfully assuming
and using the title of "Veterinary Sur
geon," which title so assumed and used by
him is analogous to the title "Veterina
rian." contrary to the statute.
In his answer Dr. Barnes alleged that
chapter 97 of the Session Laws of 19T was
null and void, and that the act was uncon
stitutional, because It waa class .. legisla
tion, in that it created two classes of vet
erinarian jnactitloners, and that It deprived
him of Iffs vested lights without due
process of law.
The court reviewed the evidence and cita
tions at length and closed by deciding that
the veterinasy law was unconstitutional

made a test case and will be taken to the
