Rebuilding Dam is
. Issue at Valentine
VAIiBNTINK, "Neb., March 24.-(Sp-clal.)
Thero will be two tlckots at the
city election this spring: and every indi
cation points to the stlffcst fight that
lia been mado hero for some time'. Fri
day night the citizens' party met in cau
cus and nominated the same men that
are now on the council as follows: Mayor,
M. V. Nicholson; councllmen, Mark Cy
phers and AV. T. Klncald; clerk. W. E.
31aley; treasurer, Charles Sparks; en
gineer, Alva Oreeno. Thfl following night
another caucus was held by the forward
party, which nominated: Mayor, Georgo
E. Traccwcll; councllmen, C. A. Ruby
and If. "W. Harper; clerk, Charles Lewis;
treasurer, H. C. Campbell; engineer, Alva
Greene.
Tho paramount Issuo between the two
factions Is whether tho city dam, which
was washed out tho night of Its comple
tion three years ago, should bo rebuilt
and tho city run the plant and furnish
electricity and water, or whether some
other means should be found by the city
to operate the plant, or allow some in
dividual to do It A lawsuit is now pend
ing between tho city and the contractors
In which a suit and counter suit for dam
ages hi -to be decided. The present coun
cil declare that it is not feasible to re
build tly?. dam, ns there la no. funds to
finance the proposition. The forward
party asserts that tho officials have not
applied themselves as diligently to the
task as they should, and that means can
bo found. Both sides have their adhe
rantH nnel n. close run is expected.
6. P. GUman is furnishing the city wltlr
night service and pumping tho water,
but Valentine has no street lights and
the citizens also want day service. Tho
city Is completely equipped with poles,
wlroB and street lights, which were In
stalled when the municipal dam was built.
They need but the motive power and
there hangs the issue.
they will proceed with the work with all
possible speed. '
Game Warden Stands
Up for Nebraska Hen
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 24. (Spcclal.)-Game
Warden Gus Kutenbeck is not very en
thusiastic over tho bringing of Chinese
eggs into Nebraska, Mr. Rutenbcck has a
flock of Chinese fowl, and according to his
way of thinking they are not a desirable
acquisition to any well regulated farm
yard. They won't dlo and he won't kill
them because they are such a dirty-look
ing creation that ho does not feel they
would be appetizing. Their flesh is dark
looking, while their feathers are nothing
but hairy down, which never makes the
fowl look presentable.
Their eggs are dark and small, bolnp
about the size of thoso produced by the
leghorn hen. Tho hen cannot cackle, nor
can tho rooster crow, all ot which is an
indication in the mind of tho game war
den that they are ashamed of themselves
and the laying of an egg like their own,
wlien compared with a Nebraska egg, is
nothing to crow over, nor worth even a
cacklo.

Skin Kept Healthy With D. D. D. Soap
(From a Statf Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 24.-(SpccJal.)-From
tho evidence Introduced In tho railway
rate hearing which was resumed before
the State Railway commission this morn
ing In the senate chamber at tho stato
house. It Is evident that tho carriers will
concentrate their efforts to show that
notwithstanding tho "rate Is higher In
Nebraska than In other states, on ac
count of tho less volumo of business per
mile, tho revenues aro not equal to other
states.
Tho array of legal talent, expert ac
countants and others Interested on the
railroad side lined up in tho senato cham
ber shows that tho railroads aro making
one of the strongest fights in the interest
of tho roads ever made In tho state, while
tho number of Jobbers and retail dealers
and representatives of tho commercial in
terests of most of tho larger towns ot
the state Indicate that the roads will find
plenty of opposition.
Army of Tnlrnt.
On the railroad side the Burlington Is
represented by BVron Clark, attorney;
H. H. Holcomb, Conrad Snens and others.
Tho Union Pacific has Eilgon Rich,
their attorney; C. J. Lane. C. S. Stcb-
bens, H. H. Bucklnham, (W. H. Anderson
and Auditor Sturges among tho number.
The Missouri Pactfio is represented by
J. A. C. Kennedy, atorney; H. E. Stewart
and D. R, XJncoln.
The Minneapolis & Omaha has H. M.
Pearse, R. Kennedy and Charles Jensh
as Its representatives.
The Rock Island Interests are looked
after by E. P. Holmes, their Lincoln at
torney; F. J. Shubert and F. M. Nay.
The St. Joe has 8. E. Stohr, while the
Northwestern Is looked after by C. C.
Wright, A. A. McLaughlin and W. H.
Jones.
Additions to this array of talent have
been coming in all the morning until tho
south side of tho senate chamber looks
as If a hearing of the Interstate Com
merce commission .was- taking place.
Cities Represented.
E. J. McVann represents Omaha com
mercial interests? W. S. Whttten. Lin
coln; T. R. Allen, -Beatrice; A. M. Con
nors, Grand Island; W. T. Thompson,
Hastings; C. H. Kelsey, Norfolk; W. H.
Young, Fremont; Carl Cramer, Colum
bus. In nearly every Instance these men
aro backed up by one or more gentlemen
representing either the wholesale or re
call interests ot the several towns, while
representatives from othr towns are con
stantly coming to Increase the north side
representation.
U. G. Powell, the commission's expert
was the first to take the stand this mom
lng and for two hours ho was the target
for.. Messrs. Wright, Rich, and two or
three other railway attorneys. Mr. Powell
endeavored to show on what grounds "ho
made the showing' which resulted In the
commission preparing the celebrated
schedule Nc. 19 and later the modified
schedule on which tho present hearing is
being had. The basis ot the schedule
was made under date of Juno 30, 1909, and
was figured out on reproduction value
new schedulo B, and waa made from
Rock Island earnings.
Shipment KlKuren.
Mr. Powell gavo the probabable cost out
of Omaha as approximately 11 cents for
hauling entire shipment five miles.
He wan asked by Mr. Rich if he had
figured In the cost of officers' salaries,
train crew interest and other such ex
penses In flgurlnglfie cost of moving
freight nnd ho replied that ho had taken
Into consideration Just the cost Incident
to the moving of the car and had not
figured the higher up costs, The figures
were made for shipment of first class and
second class would be about 85 per cent
ot first class.
Mr. Rloh asked Mr. Powell if Mr.
Prouty of the Interstate Commerce com
mission had not said that the schedule
was too Ioa' and Mr. Powell said that
ho had, on less than car load lots. Mr.
Powell said also that he did not know of
any other, state except Minnesota where
the rates were based on this schedule,
He said Iowa was higher than fTe-
braska,
Lincoln end lies Moinrs.
When asked If he knew of any town in
Iowa which was doing as much terminal
business as Omaha or Lincoln, Mr.
Powell said that as far as Omaha was
concerned there was not, but that he
thought that possibly Des Moines did a
irrofltor vnlume of business than Lincoln
The i ate In fowa and also Illinois Was
13 cents.
Mr. Rich said that the terminal charge
out of St. Iouls either to St. Paul or
Chicago was 18 3-100 cents.
C. F. Bolch, statistician of the North
western road, was then placed on the
stand and presented an array of schedules
showing the difference In rates, earnings,
etc., of that road In different stntes. He
bhowed that the net cost of freight trans
portatton In Nebraska In 1912 was $3,164,472,
while the receipts were $3,209,000.
According to the figures glvon by Mr.
Bolch, the revenue per ton per mile In
the different iato was, Nebraska. $1.5381
Iowa. .8592'' cents; Illinois, .8951 cents
Wisconsin, .8639, and Minnesota, .933)
cjnts. The revenue per train mile was
Nebraska, $.'.2014; Iowa, $2.4CS0: Illinois
$3.0060; Wisconsin, $3.0573. and Mln
nesota, $1.5904.
If Child Is Cross,

ytur little one becomes cross, half-rick,
feverish, don't eat. sleep or act
naturally, breath Is bad. system full of
cold, han sore throat, stomach-ache or
diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See If tongue
la coated, then give a teaspoonful ot
"California Syrup of Figs," and In a
few hours all the constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food passes out ot
the system, and you have a well, play
ful child again.
Millions of mothers give "Call'onUa
Syrup of Figs" because it Is oerfjetly
harmless; children love It, and It never
falls to act on the stomach, liver end
bowels.
Ask your druggist fer a 60-eent bottl
of "California Syrup of Figs." which
has full directions for babies, children of
all ngrs and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,
