(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 4. (Special.) The
Burllnrton railroad company haa been cen-
eured by the Interstate Commmeroe Com'
mleslon, through correspondence with the
Nebraska Railway commission, because the
company applied a rate of $llo per hundred
aa a distance tariff rate on household goods
shipped by J. 8. Thrasher from Oxford,
Neb., to Sheridan, Wyo. The former rate
waa IS cents a hundred. O. H. Crosby,
freight traffic manager for the Burlington,
had In a letter thrown the blame for this
charge upon an order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Mr, Thrasher ap
plied to tha Nebraska Railway Commission
In regard to reparation for an overcharge.
Tha controversy originated because of
the fact that the Interstate Commerce
Commission adopted a rule requiring rall
roada to publish more speclflctarlff sheets.
Many of the old tariff sheets contained an
intermediate clause which provided that be
tween terminals no higher rate ahould be
charged. Tha roads were ordered to cease
thla Indefinite manner of publishing tar
lffs. The Burlington cancelled thla inter
mediate rate, but tha Interstate Commerce
Commission says the cancellation did not
contemplate that shippers ahould be left
without a reasonable rata.
Letter froaa Interstate Body.
Secretary E. A. Moaeley of tha Interstate
Commerce Commission haa written the fol
lowing letter to Mr. Crosby of the Burling-torn
"Dear sir: Acknowledgment la mad

8. Thrasher concerning the rate charged

of ll.H approved by tha commission, as
atated by Mr. Thompson In his letter of
March SO. It la true that the commission
laid down certain rulea In regard to the
eonatructlon of freight tariffs which made
It necessary for carriers to discontinue
applying rates Intermediately in the ab
sence of spectflo tariff provisions there
for, but no order of this commission made
it necessary for your company to cancel
the prevloua rata of 36 cents per 100 pounds
and to establish In Ilea thereof the rate
of 11.16 per 100 pounds, as charged.

various articles in the different Omaha stores and
then come to us. They learn that what we say Is so
and that they can save $2. 00 on a $10.00 purchase or
$20.00 on a $100.00 purchase and we have added another
Omaha customer to our list. We make Just aa muoh
