SHIPPERS WANT NEW RULES
Commission Should Stay Kate In

LETTERS GOING TO WASHINGTON
Nebraska Senator and Repre.enta
live. I reed to Sapport Bills to
(Ive the C'oniml.alon
More Tower.
Shippers of Omaha ar flooding two sen-alot-a
and several representative! of Ne
braska In congress with letters urging the
passage of a bill which will give the In
terstate Commerce commission three dis
tinct powers which the commission does
not now have and which even member of
the commission have urged were necessary.
As outlined to the shippers by the Na
tional Indus'! rial Traffic league and sup
ported by them, these bills are:
Giving t lie commission power to stay in
creases In rates when complaint Is made.
Requiring the carrier to quote railway
rate in writing upon application and In
sert the rate In the bill of lading upon
wqueat.
Giving the shipper the right to route his
own shipments, naming the connecting car
riers when he so desires.
Creamery Men Started This.
The first of the now measures proposed
and now before congress Is one of the out
growths of the creamery case In which all
Omaha creamery men were Interested. To
prevent the railroads putting Increases in
rates on cream Into effect the creamery
men aecttred an Injunction from the fed
eral court In Chicago. Now that they have
won they are among those who believe
the Interstate Commerce commission should
have the power to stay an Increased rate
until such time as the commission can
pass on Its reasonableness.
"It's practically giving tho Interstate
Commerce commission the power of Injunc
tion when It comes to forbidding the rail
roads putting In advances In rates," says
J. M. Uulld, commissioner of the Commer
cial club, who Is a member of important
committees of the National Industrial Traf
fic league.
Shipper quote Commissioner I,ane as
saying to a recent meeting of shippers and
business men, in writing to their repre
sentatives in congress, as saying: "An In
crease In rates should be made If Justified,
but should never go Into effect If it is
not Justified. At the present time tho traf
fic manager who makes a rate, who signs
hi name to a typewritten tariff which
some clerk has drawn up. actually
make a statute of the United States.
He make a law and he is the only hu
man being on the face of the globe which
can make a law on his own motion."

Whose Say-so is Best?
With nearly all medicines put up for sale
through druggists, one has to take the
maker's ray-so alone and exclusively an
to their curative ' value. Of course, such
testimony Is not that of a disinterested
party and accordingly Is not to be given
the same credit as IC written from" disin
terested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines,
however, form a single and therefore
striking exception to this rule. Their
claims to the confidence of invalids does
not rest solely upon their owners' and
makers' say-ao or praise. Their Ingredients
are matters of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle wrapper.
Thus invalid sufferers are taken Into Dr.
Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading
medical men have written enough to fill
volume in praise of the curative value of
the several ingredients entering into these
well known medicines. Amongst these
writers we find such medical lights as
Prof. Flnley Ellingwood. M. D., of Ben
nett Medical college, Chicago; Prof. Hale
of the same city; Prof. John M. Scudder,
M. D., late of Cincinnati. Ohio; Prof. John
King. M. D., late of Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr.
Grover Cue of New York; Dr. Bartholow,
and scores of others equally eminent.
The writings of these have been for the
various medical Journals and for publica
tion In standard medical books for profes
sional reading and instruction, and hence
are the more valuable as they relate to Dr.
Pierce's medicine, since the writers did
hot know that they were endorsing and
recommending article that enter Into the
composition of these medicine and had no
personal interest whatever therein. Hence,
their great value a to endorsements.
A brief rynopsis, of a small part only, of
these extensive writings, which apply to
the several Ingredient entering Into Dr.
Pierce' Golden Medical Discovery the
world famed remedy for weak stomach, or
dyspepsia, torpid or congested liver,
biliousness, ulceration of stomach and bow
els and kindred ailments has been com
piled for publication In book form. These

Its marvelous curative potency. Bear In

medicine, but the "Favorite Prescription"
of a regularly educated physician, of large
experience In the cure of woman's pe
culiar ailments who frankly and' cheer -fully

said that the maker Is not afraid to deal
thus frankly, openly and honorably, by let

That every Ingredient entering Into Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has the en
dorsement of the leading medical writers of
the age amply attests Its harmless charac

Send your address for tho little book and
read what some of the most eminent med
ical men of this century say of the cur
ative properties contained in the several
ingredients which go to make up Dr.
Pierce's leading medicines. No other medi

disinterested, professional endorsements.
This one fact Is worth more and should
have more weight In determining whether
these non-secret medicines, or some secret
compound, without professional endorse
ment and with only the makers' praise to
recommend them, are best and most likely
to effect Important cures.
In favor of Dr. Pierce's medicines Is the
frank, confiding, open statement of their
full composition, giving every ingredient in
plain English, without fear of successful
criticism and with confidence thnt the good
sense of the afflicted will lead them to ap

This is Mayor Dalilman'a announcement
of 1ms Intention to file early Monday morn
ing, the first day for filing, as a candi
date for re-election a mayor of Omaha.
He says he Intends to be first In the game
and therefore he wants to be first In filing,
and then he can sit back with "four ace

The mayor. Colonel Fanning, "King"
Butler and other of the leader of the
Jlmocrats hoot at the statement by the
president of the Jack club that the Jacks
will not support Dahlman, but still they vie
with each other In saying unpleasant
things about the Jack president.
"Colonel Marshall I in the kindergarten
class of politics," said Fanning, and the
mayor said that he would not bet a S-cent
piece on the president' political advice.
Jack also take a slap at the club pres
ident and assert that he cannot bind th
club to endorse any man, though many of
them agree with Colonel Marshall that
the mayor will not get the support of the
rival political organisation. Section 30 of
j the article of incorporation of the Jack
sonlan club of Nebraska reads:
"No endorsement of candidate for nom
ination or application to office shall be
made by this club."
Thi provision was lost sight of by Colo
nel Marshall, the president, when he de
clared that th Jack would endorse some
candidate other than Mayor Dahlman.

In a long time, played tip Brown's denial.
Now, two days ago, come the official
confirmation of the original tory In Thj
Bee.
Th account of Harriman' entry inta
the New York Central, as published Jan
uary 10 In The Bee ran a follow:
If James J. lllll secured an advantage
over E. H. Harriman when he acquired
the Colorado A Southern Mr. Harriman has
rntlitnd with overwhelming effect by ob
taining control of the New York Central.
The fact that Harriman ha gained
possession of this powerful factor In the
railroad world Is conveyed to Omaha
through channels of Information from New
York whose reliability cannot be ques
tioned. When the Central storks began to shoot
upward a few day ago a rumor quietly
gained currency that Harriman had Hnded
the road and the Informa Lion which The
Hee has been given confirms that rumor.
This gives Harriman a complete line of
the finest tracks In the world from At
lantic to Pacific and marks the culmina
tion of plana he is said to have set on
foot when he ascended to tho control cf
the Pacific lines.
When the resignation of William H. New
man as president of the New York Central
lines was announced rumors were strong
thnt Harriman had secured control, and
slntft that time these rumors have been
veriXled. In the first place. Harriman told
W. C. Brown, then vice president, that
he was to be president of the New York
Central and hail several conferences with
Mr. Brown before he was elected. It is
also known by Omaha men that Mr. Har
riman for the last two months has been
acting as chairman of the executive com
mittee of the Central and that no move
has been made without his sanction. This
is no idle gossip, but comes direct from
those who are in a position to know, for
they have been getting their order from
Mr. Harriman.
It is necesssry only to add that Mr. Har
riman' election a a director Is proof more
positive than any word of mouth statement
I mm any source could possibly be.
It Is well known In railroad circles that
when Edward H. Harriman act on a board
of directors he Is not there a a mere fig
urehead, but Is the real dominating Influ
ence In the board.

JUDGES FROWN UPON STORM
Wind In Contempt of Court, Bill
board Being Thrown Down
Contrary to Injunction.
Will the storm of Thursday night be In
contempt of court? This Is n question
which Is bothering the city officials and
members of the city council. The ques
tion arises from the destruction of numer
ous bill boards, "too numerous to mention,"
as orthodox auction bills always say.
The council several months ago adopted
a bill board ordinance providing that all
boardings should be of more stable con
struction, placed at a greater distance from
the walks, and made a source of revenue
to the city. By thi provision the building
inspector was empowered to condemn all
boards not up to the new standard. Tho
owners of the bill boards then went to
court and secured an injunction restrain
ing the city from putting the new oidinance
into effect and from tearing down the
boards.
The city bowed to the order of the court
and allowed the boards to stand, but the
wind of Thursday night were more inde
pendent and violated the injunction right
and left. Bill boards In all sections of the
city were demolished, and Leavenworth
street Is lined with the prostrated signs,
many of which arc- across the sidewalk.
"In the language of a Judge of the early
days, 'there Is one decision that the courts
won't reverse," " aald one of the assistant
city attorneys. "This judge was Invariably
reversed on all cases appealed to the su
preme court. Among these cases were sev
eral murder trials, the defendants In all of
which the Judge sentenced to be hung.
One day he declared two men guilty of
murder and the defendants' attorney gave
notice of appeal to the supreme court.
That night, however, the muidcrer were
taken out of the Jail and lynched, and the
next morning the Judge, passing by, saw
the men hanging.
" 'There, by gum," he said, there is one
decision the supreme court will not re
verse." ""
If the wind Is summoned to the bar to
answer for violation of the injunction, It
will not be the first time it ha been In a
couit room.

CHIVALRY GOES GALLEY WEST
Gallant Youths No Aid to Storm
Blown Girls.
ONE SIR WALTER FREEZES ARM
"Voi ' Should Have Hogged Iter
Closer," j High School r.lrl to
Aoble lint I'nfortnnate Ites
coer of Maiden.
No. The ag of chivalry Is not dead.
Noble youths still rush to the rescue of
hapless maidens and true gallantry burns
brightly In many a manly breast. What
matters It if the said Sir Walter Ralelghs
of a later day were as helpless as the girls
and women In the storm and wind of Fri
day. The proper spirit was manifested
more or less sometimes less, as in the case
of the man out taking snap shots at girls
crossing the street.
But gallantry was given a chilly Jolt by
th frost king when Samuel Carrier, a son
of U D. Carrier, 1514 South Twenty-ninth
street, secured a frozen wrist and arm a
a result of his efforts to play the knight
errant act.
Ham Carrier is a senior at the high school
and in the storm he nobly assisted a pretty
co-ed up the Capitol hall to the school. The
Dodge cars were not running and one must
walk to get to the school. Sam, however,
looked out more for the comfort of the
girl titan of himself and when he reached
the school it was found that his right arm
from the wrist to above the below was
lrozen. Principal Graff rubbed snow on the
frozen member and the young man was sent
home.
Ill Grip too Feeble.
"You ought to have hugged' her closer
and you would not have frozen your arm,"
one of tho girl told the senior.
Two girls were fairly marooned ut the
corner of Seventeenth and Douglas. They
could not advance because of tho force of
the wind, nor did they dare to cease strug
gling for they would have been blown off
their feet. A gallant youth seeing their
pl'ght from a half block's distance rushed
toward them. He had the wind at his back
so the use of the wort "rush" Is advised.
When he neared them he pulled up and
then turning his direction found himself as
badly "stuck" a were the girls. Gallantry
was now selling below par.
An elderly man's hat blew off. Thi
would not be so unique an Incident that It
should be recounted were It not for the fact
that at the same time and in the same
place a young man's hat also began to
emulate the Wright brothers latest aero
plane. The hat of No. 2 sailed near the
elderly mun.' He grinned maliciously at
the owner, grabbed thi hat and wung
aboard a street car. No. 2 was left swear

man's hat, got It and. looking up the street,
saw the other waving his hand at him
from the rear end of the street car.
No one quoted those old verses about
the same wind that blows girls' skirts
about, also blowing dust In the eyes, of
naughty men, for the snow unfortunately
had prevented this usually happy dispen

Tngltoal or Topsail.
"Are you a tugboat trying to help me
across the street or a topsail helping me
blow away?" suggested a young woman
crossing Seventeenth and Farnam with a
n an trying to assist her.
Both were blowing south on Seventeenth
and those who had the nerve to smile in
the wind smiled and thought the man was
more of a sail than a tugboat.
What little of chivalry has not long ince
been forgotten wa left among the lost arls
Friday morning, for it was about as diffi
cult to tell In this and other cases whether
the man helped as It wouUt be to give Rich
ard Carle an answer to the question, "If a
vntchsky la a half sister to a schooner -vitch,
what relation Is a catboat to a pousee
cafe?"
Woman after woman, girl after girl,
tried to cros windy streets while men
hung to lamp posts. It was a danger
akin to assisting a drowning man, to offer
assistance, for wind, the sombre rival,
might take a notion at any time to humili
ate the man who offered aid.
At 9 o'clock a woman attempted to cross
Farnam street going north. A Farnam
street car from the west was approaching.
The woman was beyond t lie second track,
but the motorman saw hef danger and
slowed down his car. It was not a bit
too soon. The woman was blown hack
