Every dollar's worth of merchandise was new, up-to-date and highly desirable. The Harris-Emei'y Co., of Des Moines, were the original purchasers of the entire stocks of the failed concern. On account of the fact that they do not handle this class of goods they sold to The Bennett Company all the china, cut glass, crockery, lamps, etc., at the remarkably low figure of 40c on the dollar. The immensity of this stock over four car loads makes it utterly impossible to put the whole lot on sale at one time. .

HEARING OX GRAIV COMPLAINT Wood River Man Allesjea He Waa Dis criminated Aaralnst. GRAND ISLAND, March 26. (Special.) Examiner Frank Lyons for the Interstate Commerce commission held a hearing here yesterday In the case of the Wood River Grain company, Samuel McMurray, presi dent, against the Union Pacific, complaint being made that McMurray waa discrimi nated against in the inat'er of being pro vided with cars to such an extent that it practically put him out of business for two months of the busy season of 1906. Mr. McMurray alleged In his statement thai he could have done one-fifth of the grain business at Wood River hqd he been fur nished the cars, whereas he did no more than one-tenth and had frequently to re fuse deliveries of grain from farmers, send ing the same over to the other buyers, the Conrad. Omaha or Ord elevators. Agent Root at Wood River, he declared, een sent out a car empty on one occasion rather than let him have It. His orders for-cars were at other times "forgxtten" or there were other excuses. The company, represented at the hearing by- Mr. DUIer of Chicago and Traveling Freight Agent Lowe, made an effort to ahow that the company gave In the busy time Involved as many cars to McMurray as the business of the past showed him entitled to and declared that where there waa any dispute as to who was entitled to the car It would be given to the elevator people because they could load It mqre qulckty and get It going toward the des tinatlon. McMurtay has a warehouse at Wood River, but not an elevator, and It requlrea a longer time to load a car, but the evidence did not show that he ever used the full ' time allowed forty-eight hours. It was alleged that McMurray had been offered a site for an elevator, but the latter stated that It was outside the village limits where he would have been at a great disadvantage over the other elevators. W. H. Thompson of this city represented the complulnant. The commls slon. It la. expected, will make further In vestigation than that at thla hearing. Pleads Gnlltr to Blaaniy. FAIRBURY.
