(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 18. (Special.) Tho
railway commission this afternoon Issued
the following emergency order requiring
railroads to furnish shippers of grain with
box cars properly equipped with Inside
doorsC
Cnmnlalnta having been made that cer
tain of the railroads doing business be
tween stations in the state of Nebraska
have failed to furnish box cars properly
equipped with inside doors for the ship
ment ot grain, tne commission upon in
vestigation finds that It has been the uni
versal and long-continued practice of the
carriers doing business In this state to
furnish with box cars ordered for grain
shipments Inside doors known as grain
doors; that such Inside or grain doors are
necessary for the prevention of loss of
grain by leakage In the course of trans
portation and are a facility which may rea
sonably be required of all carriers engaged
In the transportation of grain between sta
tions In thisVstate. In the opinion of the
commission the above findings are indis
putable and a formal hearing unnecessary.
The failure of the carriers to furnish such
grain doors to each shipper places an un
due burden upon and unjustly discrimi
nates against the grain shipper not fur
nished with cars so equipped. Without
ctlon by this commission tho only re
course left the shipper is to furnish the
earn doors at his own expense and await
the pleasure of the carriers In adjusting
his claim and reimbursing him therefor.
By reason of the foregoing the commis
sion deems that an emergency exists. It
is inereiore ordered mat tne common car
riers engaged In the transportation of grain
between stations in, Nebraska be and the
same are hereby notified and directed In
filling orders for cars for grain shippers
within Nebraska to fuimlsh box cars prop
erly equipped with Inside or grain doors.
This order shall become effective March
30, 1908.
Briefs In Saloon Case.
In briefs filed In the supreme court
brought by the Anti-saloon league of
Wayne to compel the council to refuse a
license to Peter Thomsen to fun a saloon,
Elmer Thomas, attorney for the Anti
saloon league complains of the various
methods of the courts in treating such
questions, and Charles' L. Frltscher, at
torney for Thomsen whacks at Thomas for
being "Big I." Mr. Thomas complains
in his brief, because the courts have no de
finite rule by which liquor license cases
are to be tried.
Prohibition Fight Grows Warm.
The prohibition fight, already red hot.
got new life today by the, circulation of
cards by the saloon advocates. The cards
have printed across the top In large letters,
"Have you registered last fall?" Then fol
lows the information that March 28 is regis
tration day and a cross after the word
"for" means against saloons and after the
word "against" means saloon the question
submitted being prohibition. It is probable
the prohibition element will adopt the
slogan of the saloons "Have you registered
laat fall?"
Teat of Occnpatlon Tax.
The validity of the ordinance providing
an occupation tax to be levied against
the two telephone companies doing busi
ness here is up to the supreme court. The
Nebraska Telephone company In the dis
trict court attempted to restrain the coun
cil from levying the tax on the ground
that to do so would be to compel the com
pany to pay double taxes. The lower court
found for the city and the telephone com
pany appealed.
Governor to Help Stockmen.
Governor Brreldon, who will go to Wash
Ington with memebers of the South Omaha
Live Stock excange, to interview the sec
retary' of the interior regarding the quar
antine against Nebraska, will urge the de
partment to accept the quarantine procla
mation Issued In this state. This proclama
tion quarantined only those counties in
which cattle affected with scabies were
found. The government, however, quaran
tlned against the entire state. If this quar.
antlne la strictly enforced It means an lm
mense loss to cattle men for the reason
that all cattlo' shipped to 8outh Omaha for
eastern shipment are placed in the quaran
tine division. This prevents speculators
bidding on the cattle and leaves the ship
pers at the mercy of the packing houses
South Omaha Is hard hit by the quaran
tine because shippers can get their cattle
nspected by the government and shipped
to Kansas City and Sioux City. Governor
Bheldon believes the way to wipe out the
scabies la to protect the uninfected coun
ties, but he sees no reason for a quarantine
against the entire state because a few coun
tlea are infected. The governor, through
Dr. McKIm, state veterinarian, has complete
statistics on the matter, showing just where
the Infected herds are located. Some of the
cattle raisers are willing to contribute
money foe the payment of government In
spectors, operating under the Sheldon quar
antine.

PERU, Neb., March 18. (Speclal.)-At Its
regular meeting last night the Commercial
club of Peru unanimously voted to recom
mend that the town board take such steps

the residents of this picturesque little vil
lage an opportunity to decide whether they
desire to change their form of govern
ment to that of a city. The previous move
ment to Incorporate the state grounds and
the territory south now known as Normal
avenue has resulted In an action of the
town board looking toward that end. Prep
ositions for maintaining a passenger boat
Una down the river, running a power ferry
at Peru, for Improving the. roads leading
Into Peru and for constructing an Ice plant,
were also broached at the meeting.
