LINCOLN, April 1 (Speolal.)-Trouble Is In store for the bill for the protection of farm elevator companies, which was In troduced by Senator Ollls and Is now ready for a third reading. The bill ostensibly amends the section of the statutes which are drawn to "assure equal rights to all shippers," but In it Senator Cordeal. Senator Bartos and others have discovered what they believe to be attempts to force all shippers to send their grain through elevatora and to prevent them from put ting their grain directly into cars from their own wagons. As the law la drawn now It has this clause. In Cobbey, section MM: "And such railroad company shall supply cars to In dividuals shipping their own grain on equality with persons, associations or cor porations owning, operating or controlling such elevators or engaged In the business of buying and shipping directly onto the ears.'' In the new law. however, this section la entirely omitted and as It Is generally understood that the railroads and the DIAMONDS There Is no satisfaction In dia mond buying like that of pur chasing where you can feel con fident that the merchant Is an exert In his lino. The purchase of a diamond la something that requires more, money than the purchase of an ordinary piece of ieweiry and the customer wants to mow that he Is getting the full value of his expenditure. In buying at Frenrers there la a certain satisfaction that cornea from knowing you are trading with a house that has made a speciality of diamonds for more than twenty years. You feel tlmt you are going to get the best of treatment and that the stone you buy will be the best that can be bougtit for the money. We will sell you Just the kind of stone you went for as low a price as any diamond house la the country. We guarantee to refund V0 pec cent of the pur chase price any time within one year or sale. 15'-& DODGE. elevators would work together there Is nothing to enable a shipper to get cars for his grain. I'ndcr the present law the shipper may demand of the railroad com pany cars at any convenient siding Into which he can load his own shipments.. The bill as It Is drawn by Senator Oilis pro vides for complaint to the state railway commission of any elevator or quarry cor poration which desires sidings or trackage facilities and caiinot obtain them. The commission Is a court to adjust the claim na arrange that everything shall get equitable treatment. The bill is being supported by Senator Ollls and by Senator Banning, both of whom are interested in elevators and It Is believed that they may be gaining an ad vantage for the owners of the farmers companies and even the elevator combines at the expense of the Individual grain shippers. Senators Cordeal, Bartos and others Intend to bring these things before the senate as soon as the bill comes up for passage and defeat It if possible.

WOMAN DRAGGED UNDER DISC Mr. Theodore .Merrltt of Beadle County, Sonth Dakota, Haa Marrow Escape. SIOUX FALLS. P. !.. April 1. (Special.) To have a pulveriser dragged over her, and then to have her hair catch In the machine and be dragged over the ground tor some distance, and escape with her life, was the thrilling experience of Mrs. Theodore Merrltt, wife 1 of a prominent farmer residing In Beadle county. Desir ing to drive some cattle out of the field. her husband asked her to operate the put' verlser until this could be done. Mrs. Mer ritt In some manner dropped one of the lines, and In stooping to pick It up she lost her balance and fell between the machine and the horses attached to It. This fright ened the animals and they ran away, dragging the dlse over her. Her hair caught In the machine, and In this way sne was dragged some distance, expecting every moment would be her last. When released It was found that she was out In a number of places and that she was badly bruised. However, her most serious Injury waa the straining of the cords and tendons In her neck and shoulders. The Key to the Situation Bee Want Ada. "fc'NEBRASKANS READY TO WORK Delegation, with Exception of Korris, Awaits Pall of Gavel. SLOAN IS FIGHTING RECIPROCITY em her of Appointment of I'ont- ii Ha I era Are to He .Made on" lierommenri'at ion of Sen ator llrown. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 1. (Special Tele gram.) With the single exception of Con gressman O. W. Norrts. the entire Ne braska delegation Is in Washington, ready for the opening of congress next Tuesday, and Judge Norris will be here on Monday to participate with other progressives la a caucus called for .Monday afternoon to agree upon some plan of action to be fol lowed at the republican caucus Monday night. Representative Sloan of the Fourth dis trict, who arrived In Washington this morning, coming In with Senator Craw ford of South Dakota, said that he noticed a very considerable change In sentiment at ! home relative to Canallan reciprocity. Karly In the year sentiment was very pronounced In favor of the agreementj ne gotiated with the Canadian commissioners through the efforts of President Taft, but as the scope of the pact became better understood by farmers, they began to see new light and now many of them are out spoken in opposition to the measure which democrats will put through the house very early In the session. Mr. Sloan says he will vote against the measure when It comes before the house on the ground that It attacks one of the fundamental principles of the republican party, namely, protection. He Is a firm believer In reciprocity, but thinks the pact Is entirely too one-sided to be supported by one who represents a great farming dis trict. Senator Hitchcock and Representative Magulre arrived In Washington this morn ing, as did Judge Klnkald. Senator Brown today recommended he following persons as postmasters: J. 11. Logan at-Ponca, reappointment; Lewin Mclaughlin at Emerson, F. O. Gltts at Archer and Frank 1 Ian ten at Belgian, which Is a new office Just created. All are new appointments with the single exception of Logan. John A. Monroe, freight trafflo manager of the Union Pacific and Luther Drake left for Omaha this afternoon. N. P. Loomls, general attorney of the Union Pacific, who made a short argument before the Interstate Commerce commission this monlng on priclples Involved In the soi ailed Spokane rate cases, with Mrs. Loomis, who has been In Washington for the last two weeks, has gone to Richmond, Va., for a day or two before returning to Omaha.
