COAL MEN RlCjv ON TRAFFIC
Iowa and H.tauka PetVsri Say Eoads
Are Not Pair.
WANT RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE
Propose that Railway. " Fnrnlsb.
Cars for Lfalln Within Flva
lnya from Time Ordered
or II Fined.
Coal dealers of Iowa and Nebraska. In
esslon at the Rome hotel Wednesday, dis
cussed a reciprocal demurrage bill and con
aldared how best to "get even" with the
railway companies which l.iey believe are
not giving then a square deal. II. I
t .i,. nf Mnralialltown,', la., secretary of
the association., drew up a proposed bill to
be presenu-d th..Vat legislatures of
.he two sWvs and .the. .-fOSxe mojnlngwas
ioken upArf'f :unir 1fc- r ...
The proposed ?.1IU- provides that the rail
road iompanieshall furnish cars for load
lnir within five, days from the time ordered
or be subject. to a floe of $5 a day per car
for delay; for the movement of cars of not
less than fifty miles a day beginning within
twenty-four bourse from the time the rail
way company Is furnished with the bill of
lading, or be subject to a fine of V for
evorv dav that a run of fifty miles Is not
made; and providing for additional time
for unloading cars of large capacity, un
der the present rulen all cars must be un
loaded within forty-eight house, but the
proposed bill provides tliat seventy-two
hours shall be g1vn for unloading cars
having a capacity of more than 60.000
pounds.
The bMl. together with several amend
ments offered, was referred to the traffic
pom mil tee, composed of S. S. Caldwell,
Otnaha; John Dorin, Lincoln; C. 8.
Frown.; Atlantic, : arid M. A. Moore.
IeMars, la. On account of the length of
the bill and the ImpoHanee of the questions
discussed the committee was not required
to report lto. the convention, but will go
over the proposition tlioroughly and present
the finished -product U the two legislatures.
The members of the association will talk
with the representatives from their districts
and endeavor to get them Interested In the
lemurrage' bill.
Time for I'nloadlaa.
George W. Baldwin of Crete offered a
ouple of amendments, one to provide that
the time for unloading shall not begin
when notice Is given, and the other that
when a dealer unloads a car within the
time limit, the time saved shall be applied
on another cap. F6r Instance) It, -a, -car Is
unloaded within thirty-six hours, credit
for the twelve hours saved shall be allowed
on the unloading of another car.'
Another amendment was offered, which
requires the railway companies to pay 50
cents a ton more than the cost prtco for
all coal confiscated during blockades and
also requiring the payment of J10 per car
for failure to notify he consignee within
twenty-four hours of such confiscation.
There was some discussion regarding the
advisability of prohibiting the railways
from confiscating coal for any purpose
other than operating mall, trains, but this
proposition was lost.
About 100 coal dealers from the two
states : attended the meeting, which was i
the semi-annual convention of the Coal
Dealer's Association of Iowa and Nebraska.
Among those present were President George
Gregory of Marshalltowny- Vice President
H, T. Folson of -Lincoln,' Secretary H,' L.
Ia!rd of Marshalltown,' the members of
the traffic committee . and the ' following
members of the executive committee: W.
W. McFarlane, Waterloo. Ia.; W. J. White,
Plattsmouth; and C. H. Chlsam, Omaha.
passed on the claim. County Attorney
Magney was appealed t6 and he Bald there
Beemed to be no law prohibiting the
board from paying for it, so the board
passed the claim.
The board granted saloon licenses to
August Wolf and George II. MoArdle on
West Dodge street.
Ure voted against the Issuance of the
licenses.

"You can't boost the National Qorn ex
position too strong, for It deserves all that
has been said and all that might "be said,'
assorted Grant Rldgway, assistant general
manager of the Northwestern Tast com
pany of Chicago, who visited the exposition
with the Chicago grain dealers And Board
of Trade. "This seems to be the logical
place for holding such a show. Here we
saw long lines of farmers, trying to learn
how to Improve their crops,, and this was
more noticeable than at the Chicago show
last year. You may know It pleased me
when I tell you I am staying over a couple
cf days longer than I intended, that I might
have an opportunity to see as much as
possible."
"The National Corn exposition Is a big
thing for the farmer, a big thing for Omaha
and a big thing for tho country," said J.
C. Murray, manager of the grain depart
ment of the Quaker Oats company, -whose
headquarters Is In Chicago, "The people
of Omaha certainly have shown great en
terprise In organizing a show of such pro
portions, and I am glad to m It la being
appreciated by the large attendance.
"I would like to see this show made a
permanent feature, so that the farmers may
look forward from year to year to some
place to take their products to compete for
the prizes and also for some place where
they know they can go and learn something
to their advantage."
About fifty of the visiting grain dealers
were so Impressed with the National Corn
exposition that they decided to remain over
a day longer than they had anticipated to
have a better opportunity to look more
thoroughly into some of the exhlblis. Some
of tho members from Chicago went to Lin
coln with the 8t. Louis dealers, who re
turned Wednesday evening to spend the
evening at the exposition. The St. Louis
lans will then spend Thursday in Kansas
C.ty. Those who remained over visited the
Omaha Grain exchange Wednesday morning
and nothing but words of praise weia he ird
from these visitors for the corn exposition.
POTTER WINDS UP AND QUITS
Receiver Pays All Creditor etf Omaha
Loan and Trast Company
In Fall.
By an order signed by District Judge
Kennedy the affairs of the Omaha Loan
and Trust company have been closed up
and William K Potter, receiver, has been
discharged.
There still remains 13,260.73 belonging to
the creditors who have failed to call for
their money. The court ordered this amount
paid over to the district clerk with the
names and addresses of those to whom It
belongs and he will pay It out when It Is
called for. The order also approves all
acts of the receiver and permits him to
destroy such of the records and corre
spondence as are of no further use.
The company failed about six years ago,
but under the receivership of Mr. Potter
the creditors have been paid in full and
the Income on the property in his charge
has more than paid the expense of the receivership.

SHOOTS SELF IN THE MOUTH
Young Farmer Attempts Death as Re
sett of Too Moon Smoke
nnd Drink.
Financial troubles brought on by the
excessive use of cigarettes and liquor are
given as the cause of the attempted sui
cide of Wililam Tappe. a young farmer
who lives with his wife on their newly
purchased place on the Military road, half
a mile northwest of Benson. Seizing a
loaded shotgun when he entered the house
about S o'clock Tuesday evening, Tappe
placed the muzzle. In his mouth and pulled
the trigger. In spite of the frantic efforts
of his wife to prevent the tragedy.
Although the roof of his mouth and half
his face was torn away by the heavy
charge , and several shot penetrated the
brain tissue, Tappe still lives, although
Drs. Hall and Raber of Benson say that
death will ensue within twenty-four or
forty-eight hours. The man is entirely
conscious and talks Intelligently.
The couple have no children. Tappe Is
24 years old. It Is said by friends of the
couple that they never quarreled further
than Mrs. Tappe s remonstrances with her
husband for drinking. He was Intoxicated
somewhat at the lime lie attempted suicide.
