Special Examiner Oeorge N. Brown of
the Interstate Commrw Commission Is
presiding at the hearing of th case of
the Omaha Commercial club against the
Baltimore Ohio railroad In the matter
of rates on carload shipments of butter,
eggs and boultry from Omaha to New
Tork.
While the case la broutht In Ihs name
f the Commercial club against the Balti

Creamery company, the Farmer Co-Oper
atlve Creamery company. David Cole
Creamery company, Klrschbraun Sona,
Incorporated, the Omaha Cold Storage
company, .the Waterloo Creamery com
. pany and the Aiamltb Sanitary Dairy
company are the real complainant and all
the railroad companies centering In Omaha
and numerous eastern railroad are Joint
defendants.
Th case of the Commercial club Is
looked after by B. J. McVann, while the
railroad companies are represented by C.
B. Fernald of Chicago, attorney for th
Pennsylvania line; F. A. Lynde, general
attorney of the Northwestern at Chicago;

The principal examinations are being con
ducted by E. J. MoVann and F. A. Lynda
and Fernald. while Kelby and C. E. Bpens,
freight agent of the Burlington at Omaha,
are doing some of the questioning.
Th first witnesses examined were J. H.
Rushton, president of the Fairmont Cream
ery company, and D. C. Etdredge, rloe
president of the Farmer Co-operative
1 creamery company of Omaha.
Th question at Issue a presented by Mr.
' McVann la tha excesslveness of carload
' rates of iC.Ovu pound wr mure, uA orcauir jf
product from Omaha to New Tork which
materially exceeded the rate charged for
other perishable prod nets and contention
1 that the commission should establish
Joint and through rate for this class of
freight, ""
It was dlsolosed by Mr. Rushton that the
rate on carload unit from Omaha to New
York was (220, which rate had not been
changed in th west and of which Omaha
was th great central point. The rate on
other perishable products suoh as meats
and fruit, waa but fW.
Mr. Rushton was of the opinion that $.160
i would be a fair and adequate rate when
.taking Into consideration the economic ser
vice th ereamerle rendered the railroad
In preparing their product for shipment,
which eliminated the liability of claim for
damage. A reduction of the rate to about
the figure proposed on th bail of 18,000,000
pound shipments would mean a saving to
.th creameries or th Fairmont oreamery
, particularly of 170,000 annually he said, and
a saying would be divided between the
producer and conaumer. Mr. Rushton said
that about 66 per cent of the shipment for
Omaha were to point east Of Chicago. He
claimed also that other elasse Of porlBh,
able freight were moved with greater ce
(. ( lerlty than, creamery products. . , .,

THE 8TORY OP TUB
S II ELLS.
PEANUT
At the Theaters
As everyone knows, C. W. Post of Bat
tie Creek, Mich., Is not only a maker of
breakfast foods, but he I a Strong- In
dividualist, who believe that th trade
unions are a menace to the liberty of the
country.
Believing this, and being a "natural-
born" scrapper for th rlcht, aa he sees
it. Post for several years past, haa been
engaged la a eeaseless warfare against
"the Labor Trust," as he like to call It
Not being able to secure free and un-
trammeled expression of hi opinion on
this subject through th regular reading
pages of the newspaper he ha bought
advertising apace for this purpose, Just
aa he I accustomed to for the telling of
hi Poatum "story," and he haa thus spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars In de
nouncing trades-unionism.
Aa a result of Post's activities the
people now know a whole lot about these
organisations; how they are honeycombed
with graft, how they obstruct the develop
ment of legitimate business, curtail
labor' output, hold up manufacturers,
graft upon their own membership, and
rob th public. Naturally Post la hated
"by the tradea-unlonlsta, and Intensely.
He employ no union ' labor, so they
can not call out hi men, and he defies
their effort at boycotting his products,
The lateat mean of "getting" Post Is
th widespread publication of the story
that, a ear which was recently wrecked
In transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being, shipped from the south to Post's
stabltshmsht at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitigerald of th Chicago
. Federation of lbor, who. It Is said,
Stated It publicly, aa truth.
' PoSt comes back and gives Fitzgerald
the He direct. He denounces Fltsgerald'a
Statement as a deliberate falsehood, an
underhanded and cowardly attempt to
Injure his business, having not th slight
est basis In fact. As such an effort it
mast be regarded. It la significant that
this statement about "tha peanut shells"
la being given wide newspaper publicity.
In the "patent Inside," of an eastern
ounty paper I find it, -arid the Inference
naturally Is that labor-unlonltes are In
sidiously spreading this lie.
An Institution (or a man) which will
resort to moral Intimidation and to phy
sical fore, that will destroy machinery
and burn buildings, that will maim and
kill If necessary to effect Its ends, nat
urally would oo t hesitate to spread false
hood for the came purpose.
We admire Post. While we have no
enmity toward labor unlona, ao long as
they are conducted tn an hopest, "llve-
and-let-live" kind of a way. we have had
enough of tha tarred end of the stick to
sympathise thoroughly with what he la
trying to do. He deserves support. A man
. Ilka Post can not be killed, even with
' He. Tbey are a boomerang, every time.
' Again we amow, for hain't this wespoa,
every weapon that could be thought of,
been used (and sot simply by. labor
unions) to put us out of business too?
I am going to drink two cups of Poatum
every morning from this time on, and put
rpynelf oa a diet of Grape-Nuts. Bully

FREMONT By a strange coincidence
just thirty-nine years ago today after he
had left . Fremont for uiencoe to reside,
the body of C. W. Westfall was taken
through .her to his former home for
burial. Mr. Wostfall was about 66 years
of age and an old resident. His wife died
a few daya ago and her remains were
brought from their home In the west to
this county and Mr. Weetfall was on his
way back when his own deatn occurred
He was one of the best known local demo
cratic politicians In the county at an
early day.
CENTRAL CITY The body of Joseph
Pooler, a former resident of this place and
Cl.apman, was brought here for burial to
day. Dooley was a fireman on the railroad
out In the state of Washington and rn
February S was struck by an engine wh'l
croeslng the tracks at Kanwlck, Wash.,
and died aoon after from the results of his
Injuries. Dooley was born down near Chap

eight years ago for th west. He and his
relatives were Known as oia settlers aown
In the vlolnlty of Chapman.
KEARNEY John A. Stewart of Council
Orove. Kan., and Miss Nellie B. Simmons
of Miller. Neb., wore united In marriage In
Judge HalloweU'a court room Thursday.
This ends a short romance. A year ago
MIbi -Simmons was visiting friends at
Council Orove and met Mr. Stewart. After
she had returned home a trtng or letters
followed her. They ktpt coming for a year
and then John Stewart made his first trip
Into Nebraska and secured his bride, wno
Is the daughter of Aaron Simmons, a
wealthy merchant of Miller.
KEARNEY The little village of Am
herst, in this county, has experienced a
condition that rarly occurs to a town with
tOQ inhabitants. In Chicago and New York
It Is not a rare thing to find a man who
rides twenty or thirty miles to his work
every morning, but out on Nebraska's
prairies It is something of a novelty. R. A.
Taylor of Amherst rented a house In Kear
ney Thursday and will go back and forth
to his work In Amherst. This Is because
every house In Amhtrst Is occupied. Mr.
Taylor will build in the spring.
KEARNEY-County Attorney Easterling
Is preparing a petition to be presented , to
Judge Hallowell of the Juvenile court of
Kearnry, axklng that proper disposition be
made of the six children of John C. Pat
ton, who, It Is alleged, are growing up
t-nder conditions that will make "vicious
and criminal oltlaens." There are five boys
and one girl in the family, and they are
now left to the support of their mother,
the father being recently sentenced to a
fifteen-year term In the Nebraska peni

might have furnished such picture of life

when It is transplanted from its native

atmosphere in which New York produc

out, it loses the bouquet that gave it savor,

has stood open over night. It has plenty
of scenery, plenty of changes of costume,

Mephisto, Is pretty, piquant and altogether
charming. She sings several songs in a
vote that is a genuine delight, and wins
the only really hearty round of applause
given during . the evening. Her work In
every way Is satisfying; she certainly de-'
serves the prominence .she Is given In the
bill. Eva Mull Is th eoubrette of -he or

well done. She looks, tempting enough in

th company have little to do. and the com
edy is mostly of a type that needa fumi

powerful colora with a bold hand, is "The

Th wide range call Into play highly
variant types, all distinctive and all de
Uneated with a discriminating sort of bold
ness by both playwright and player that
gains the effect without a suggestion of
overdrawing It.
It is a play of strong contrasts. .The
aristocracy of historic England must stand
beside the blanketed Indian. The father
love of an earl finds Its reciprocal In the
mother love of an Indian squaw. In the
preservation of these human emotions, per
haps more truly Instincts, alike In all the
types the story finds Its greatest appeal.

the strongest demands of th play. Ha la

of tha Green river ranch. ' Mr. Petley Is
an Englishman by birth; .. and it show

Fight Imminent
Over New Normal
to
Burlington Attorney Planning
' Test Whether Location .at
Chadron is Legal.
ALLIANCE, Neb., Feb. 11. (Special.)
Chadron Is not going to get that new
normal school without a fight. Burlington
attorneys have been looking up the record
of the board's action In locating the school
at Chadron and have also secured copies
of the . opinion of the'' attorney general,
which was to the effect that, the board
had 'the authority to locate the school at
a later date than was provided in the law.
-Thoee ''attorneys' have been to Lincoln
and have thoroughly gone over the' records
of the Not mat board and a big fight will
bo started to keep the school away from
Chadron, even If Alliance does not get It.
The law provided that by a certain datp
propositions from the towns desiring the
school should file their proposltlqns , with
the Normal board and that by a certain
date the school should be located. Inasmuch
as the law which created the new Normal
board was being contested in the courts
the school was not located within the
specified time and it is possible legal pro
ceedings will be started to test the action
of the Normal board.

dertakliur of Concern to Wemea.
AUBURN, Neb., Feb. 11. (Special.)
Word has' Just been received here of the
death of Marie Hoover in New Tork City,
where she has resided for several yearn.
The body will be brought to Nemaha
City, where her mother, Harriet A. F.
Hoover, resides. She has also two sisters
residing there. Miss Hoover was the old
est daughter of William IL Hoover, who
for eighteen yeara was clerk of the dis
tract court of thts county, and who pre
vious to that was for two terms county
clerk. He resigned his office on account
of sickness In 1888 and moved to Lincoln,
where he resided until his death several
years ago. He owned a large amount of
real estate In this county and on his death
his family moved back to Nemaha City.
Miss Hoover wa san accomplished musi
cian and spent several years in Europe
under the best masters. At her death she
was th organist In one of the leading
churches In New York City. For years
she was the organist in the First Chris
tian Science church of New Tork. She
was eS years of age and th cause of her
death hue not been learned. She wa here
on a visit a year ago last summer and
attended the horn coming picnic at
Brownvllle and gave a musical entertain
ment which will long be remembered by
those who heard it. Her early demise ha
caused profound grief here.
The Omaha Toung Women's Christian as
sociation will ask 16,000 from the cttlaens
to meet this year's .running expenses ot
the organisation. Th budget for the year
amounts to about 148,000, all of which, with
the exception of th amount being solicited,
will be met with the prooeeds of the asso
ciation. The majority of th departments
are self supporting. .'The 'educational de
partment, school of domestic science and
arts and the gymnasium pay. all .expenses
and the lunch room earns something above
the cost of Its maintenance. On the othejr
hand the' employment bureau, travelers'
aid, boarding horn directory and exten
sion ,. departments have -'no income and
these, with Incidentals, must be supported.
There are few If any associations carrying
anywhere near th work of th local or
ganizations, that are self supporting. Home
associations have been able , to do ao, but
these have had dormitories tn connection
or some portion of the building that could
earn an Income.
In compliance with the policy of the Na
tional Young Women's Christian associa
tion to' district the country, or divide it
Into territories, It haa. been proposed that
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and the Da
kotas combine in one territory.- This com
bination la necessary for th maintenance
of th specialists engaged in the national
work, aa few If any of the states are
strong enough to support them separately.
With -the exception of Minnesota, all the
states in the Nebraska group have agreed
to the proposed affiliation. It Is expected
that Minnesota will-also -Join and that
St. Paul will be headquarters for the ter
ritory. ' While, th "Omaha association Is
larger than that of St. Paul, the latter ha
better financial backing, in that it has
both St. Paul and Minneapolis upon which
to draw and for this reason It Is preferred
to Omaha.
This plan will hot interfere with Omaha
as a training center for secretaries, how
ever. The Iowa association has already
solicited the assistance of Omaha for train
ing secretaries and btlng'one of the largest
associations In the country and -with an
exceptionally Well equipped building, ,it Is
admirably fitted for this purpose.

GRAND JURY AFTER HOTELS
Lsbclc of Fir Escape on L,odslagr
Houses Likely to Be Subject
of Investigation.
The fourteen fire escape inspectors of
tha state are soon to meet in Omaha at the
invitation of Building Inspector Wlthnell.
Colncldentally It is likely that Mr. With
ness will Invite the attenton of th grand
Jury to violation of th law by a number
of Omaha hotels of the second or third
class.
"The theaters of the city," declared jjr.
Wlthnell, "are all complying with thla and
other requirements for public safety, but
hotels are not"
If th grand Jury were to Inveattffat and
Indict every offender In Omaha and Doug
las county against the fir escape law, that
body would have Us hands full.
The law requires that every hotel and
boarding house three stories and over shall
