" Pl lad' Record, By deciding In favor of the Chicago, Great Western Railroad company and against the Interstate Commerce commis sion In tho case Instigated by Chicago com mission and live stock dealers, known as the "meat cases," tho supreme court of the United States has enabled the Omaha market t) retain an advantage which amounts to thousands of head of cattle and hogs annually being sold in Omaha, which would otherwise go to Chicago. This Is the opinion of live stock dealers of Omaha, who received the decision with something akin to enthusiasm and a burst of applause. ( goon after the Great Western pushed Into Omaha a rate of 20 cents per 100 was put Into effect on packing house products from the Missouri river to Chicago. Other roads met the rate, but the late of cents on live stock from the Missouri river to Chi cago remained In force. Chicago commis sion merchants attacked the rate because It enabled the finished product of the pack ers to be shipped toy Chicago at a lower rate than the live stock. McVann Old In the Flsjht. B J. McVann, now secretary of the Omaha Grain exchange, was commissioner of the Bioux City Commercial club and trafflo manager of the Sioux City Stock Yards company at the time the complaint j was filed before the Interstate Commerce commission In 1901 Mr. McVann at once realized that if the rate on live stock was cut 3i cents between the Missouri river and Chicago, It would not only cut off ship pers sending cattle and hogs from Iowa points in a strip seventy-five miles wide, but it would enable stock men shipping to Missouri river markets to try the market In Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City and forward stuff to Chicago at a much lower rate than exists. Mr. McVann organised the Missouri river cities to fight the lowering of the rate on live stock between the Missouri river and Chicago and the Interstate Commerce Com mission ruled with the Chicago complain ants and Issued an order lowering the rate to 20 cents. The railroads refused to estab lish the rate and the Interstate Commerce Commission appealed to the United States clreult court. The ctrcult court stood by the railroads and the Missouri river cities and held that they had the right to reduce the freight rate on live stock products without making a similar reduction on the live stock Itself. When the case came up before the United States supreme court on an appeal taken by the commission, the supreme court affirmed the decision of the circuit court and the rates will remain 20 cents on live stock products from the Mis souri river to Chicago and 23H cents on live stock. This gives the Missouri river pack ing centers the advantage of a higher rata between the river and Chicago and makes It more than likely that the average stock man will sell on the Missouri river and save a transportation charge of cents per 100 pounds. Missouri river live stock dealers credit Mr. McVann with winning the case, as tho perfect organization of Interests which he secured presented the matter through competent attorneys In such manner as to settle it forever.

"Bolivia Is the only country that ever wiped England off the map," said Frank Robersoti. "It' came about this way: The British ambassador several years ago gavu a dinner for the official and social people of Bolivia. When they arrived at the em bassy they found that he was not married to the woman seated at the head of the ta ble and they left. In tho name of his gov ernment he demanded an apology, where upon tho government gave him twenty-four injurs to get out of the conn try. Inasmuch as little Bolivia Is Wrty off the ocean and practically lost In the ternal mountains Great Britain could not, by guns, get the retraction that It wanted. Hut her map makers got revenge by issuing maps wholly eliminating Bolivia. Finally, this informa tion reached Bolivia, whereupon, with a stroke of the pen, new maps were ordered for the Bolivian government and tho Bo livian schools. They showed more ocean than any other maps ever printed. The British Isles had been sunk in' the sea. And so far as the people and snhonl chii- : dren of Bolivia are concerned there is no Great Britain," Indianapolis Wews. Warner Jury DlsrKrees.
