911111ns; Hearing; Soon,
The State Railway commission has a
liearlng important to the milling industry
coming up January 8. It is on the peti
tion, of the Burlington road to have the
rules governing the milling In transit
rate changed, a the company alleges to
correspond with the Interstate rules on
the same subject. The millers are con
testing the change on the ground that
It would indirectly deprive them In a
large measure of any benefits under the
rate. The reason alleged la that the out
shiprfients are in a large measure mixed
carloads and these under the proposed
regulations would be barred from partlcU
pation In the milling In transit rate and
would oome under the regular outbound
mixcarload milling rate. The miller
allege that it Is seldom they have a whole
carload of product which comes -under
the proposed regulation destined for one
pjoint where the-same or similar rate
prevails and that as a result they could
not avail themselves of the milling In
transit rata.
January S is the date set by the orders
of the commission for the Northwestern
and Union Paclflo railroads to make
a trackage connection at Albion. The
order, however, specifies that In case
weather conditions Interfere the time may
be extended. The commission is not yet

one of the cutest collie pupa that ever
scampered over a lawn. There la foom

Woodmen Company
Talk Reinsurance
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. V. (Special Tele
gram.) Some 'of the stockholders of the
Woodmen Insurance company had a con
ference today at whlchh the question of
re-lnsurlng , the risks of the Union Fire
was discussed. There were present S.
N. Wolbach of Grand Island; C. J. Miles
of Hastings; A. II. Armstrong of Lin
coln; T. J. Doyle of Lincoln, attorney for
the stockholders represented, and J. Walt
of Lincoln, secretsry of the Woodman
company.
The stockholders present were In doubt
whether It would be advisable to re
Insure the risks in quetlon, even If the
case pending In court and which Is on
for hearing January 4, was decided In
such a manner as to render it possible.
The question was raised whether .. the
additional rliks wore of a character to
add anything of value to the business
of the company.
The question of the return of the money
alleged to have been paid the Union of
ficers to obtain their resignations that
the proposed consolidation could be
brought about. Is still on the waiting
list, but Auditor Barton still Insists that
something must be done about It and he
Is also dissatisfied with the commissions
alleged to have been paid for the re
insurance of such risks as have already
hem re-Insured. These are waiting the
report of the Insurance examiners.
