Tha conipany assured the com mission It had tried faithfully to conform to tha, lawa enacted by the last legislature and the experience had demonstrated the ratea ar confiscatory and not high enough to produce, sufficient revenue to f ay running expenses, much leas 7 per cent lntret fin tha Investment. The commission haa no proof that thla Is to he the beginning of a general fight on the lawa enacted by the recent Ieeis lature, although thla waa the program pre dieted at the close of the session. The commission welcomes the attack on the law by the Missouri Pacific and the -hear ing w II he ret for an early date. The bearing will give the commission an op pcrtuntty to get at Information which haa hretofor been, denied It and the result will le of vast Importance to the com m talon.

Hist Taft Banner Coning. Visitors te Lincoln and Falrvlew will shortly be greeted by an Immense banner at retched acrosa the street, bearing the In scription "Nebraska for Taft," under a painting of the republican nominee. "And why not?" aald Chairman Hayward of the republican atate committee, who opened headquarters at the Lindell thla morning and began active work for the re publican ticket... "Nebraska Is far Taft. Why not say so? The republican atate committee Intends to right and the fight Is on right now. It will let up when the election is over, but not before. There will be no half way busi ness during this campaign. There will be no compromise with Bryanlam. Nebraska republicans expressed themselves for Taft over a year ago and now they have the chance tolielp make him president. After being the first state to endorse him In convention It i not pn the boards that the republtcana will lay down and let Bryan get the electoral vote. (, "Jiua tha republican atate ho do car ters happens to be In the home town of the democratic candidate Is no reason why the committee should put up a listless fight. We didn't do It In 19 and In 1900, and we won't do It In 1908. We are going 'n to carry the state for Taft and the committee expects the help of every republican- fn Nebraska as well aa those democrats and 'populists who believe In republican principles and candidates." Mr. Hayward this afternoon took up the matter of making the banner with a local concern. It will contain a large painting THE GOME AND SEE SIGN TWs ijrn ia permanently attached to the front of the main braiding; of the Lydia E. Tinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass.

It means that there is nothing about the bos Iness which is not w open and above board." It means that a permanent invita tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and ali statements made in the advertisements of Lydia K. Pinkhain's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs with out drugs f Come and Se. Do the women of America continu ally use as much of it as we are told f Come and See. Was there ever such a person as I.rdia E. Ptnkham, and is there any Mrs. Finkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write f 'Come and See.

HaTe they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents f Lome and Bee. Have they proof that Lydia E. Ilnkhant's Vegetable Compound haa ,,ured thousands of these women ? Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world eqnaig Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills still go on using and being ben. eftted by It but the poor doubting, fitifferinjr woman, must, for her own 'tke,be taught confidence .for she also tufiht just aa well regain her health, of the republican nominee, with the In scription quoted. Three stenographers have already been engaged and started to work on the poll books. The complete orgsnlxa- tlone from a few of the rountle have been received st the headquarters and within a very short time the headquarters will b the busiest place In the state. Illlaot Delearatea start West. The denatured Illinois delegation p.illed out of Lincoln right after l incli this after noon In their advertising automobiles. Th delegation called upon Mr. 'Bryan this morning and managed to get bnek to Lin coln without any of their machines break ing down. All day Raturday and yesterdav Mayor Brown sat up straight looking for a tele gram from the delegates, but none arrived until late In the evening, when a message came to some one that the automobiles were stuck In the mud nbout thirty miles away. The mayor, however, true to that historic Missouri hospitality which has made him mayor twice, set up and puffed and waited and was on hand at 10:30 to greet the Incomers. Mr. Bryan, who at tended a Raymond Robins meeting in the esrly evening, departed for Falrvlew before the bunch got In. Andrews Still a Democrat. In an address at the I'nivetslty of Ne braska today (Chancellor E. Benjamin An drew! reaffirmed his allegiance to the democratic party. He predicted that the election this year will turn on issues rather than men, the leaders of the two parties being men without reproach. Pension Rale Suspended. The State Board of Public Lands and Buildings this afternoon suspended the rule by which it required members of the Sol dlers' homes to pay to the atate a per cent of their pension!. This was done pending an Investigation of the matter, but it means probably that the rule will be entirely abolished. The rule which the new rule superceded provided the old soldier should pay to the atate all his pension over SI J a month. The new rule provided only a certain per cent over $12 should be paid to the state. The following letter to the com mandants of the two homes explains the position of the board: The supreme: court has Just decided that the Board of Pubtlc Lands and Buildings haa charge of the state institutions, and that they have full right to make reason able rulea for their management ar-d con txol. It haa alwaya been the intention of the present board to deal fairly with the old soldier who Is a member of the Soldiers' and Sailors' homes. It waa the opinion of the board at the time the rule was adopted which took a part of the pension of the old soldier that the same would be satisfac tory to everyone, from the fact that it would decrease the amount which should have been paid under the old rule which waa In force. The board was of the oplr.lon that the old rule had been strictly enforced, hence a new rule which would permit the party to retain more pension than he did before would certainly be satisfactory. With this idea In view, the graded pension rule waa passed. Objections having arisen to thla rule, and desiring to Investigate further, the board desires me to ask you to suspend action relative to taking any part of the pension under said rule until you receive further Information from them. The letter is signed by Land Commis sioner Eaton, chairman of the board. Rhodes Scholarship Examinations. The Vquallfylng examination for the Rhodes' scholars to be elected for 1910 will be held toward the end of October, 1909, In stead of In the month of January aa here tofore. It la believed that an examination held In October will Interfere less than one held In January with the regular work of American university students, and that the earlier selection will give better oppor tunity for the selected scholars to direct their work on lines moat advantageous for their course at Oxford, STRENI'OIS FIGHT OVER MCKXSR llastlna-s Ministers Oet Into the Fray la Earnest.

Tattered and torn by the bullets of many a battle, but still bearing; a sliKht rpspm blance to an ensign, the flan of truce is again fluttering feebly over the Jacks and the Jims, the warring factions of local democracy. The Dahlman Democracy, pleblan, and the Jacksonian club, patrician, will Join In entertaining the eastern delegates who will pass through Omaha on Friday, Satur day and Sunday, enroute to Denver and the Bryan ratification commiuc'. Boih clubs have appointed reception c-jnim'.ttees, and there will be a semblance of unity In their entertainment of the visitors. The Jacksonian clubs will leave Saturday afternoon for Denver, and on this account the bulk of the entertainment will fall upon the Dahlmanltes, who do not go until Monday morning. The Jacks go early, so aa to catch the North r-.atte snd other delegations, who could not get to Denver in time If they waited until Monday, there b-'ing no Sunday trains In their part of the state.

"They have parka in the east, they have larger buildings In the east than we have, in fact, tluy have everything in the east, but It will never do to let them go through town without showing them a good time, and the Jacks will be there w.tn the goods, and don't you forget it. You can aay for me that the delegations which will go through Omaha before the Jack sonian club leaves for Denver will want for nothing." Committee for the Jims. John E.
