Cars Must Be Unloaded and
, Released as Soon as Re
ceived, Commissioner
Brown Says.
Lncoln, June 2. (Special.) Rail
VV" way Commissioner Thome Brown
.? hat returned from a meeting of the
newly-appointed board of car com
X missioners ,held at Omaha. Mem
x De board are John Welch,
western representative of the
Interstate Commerce commission:
William Jeffcrs, general agent of
v the Union Pacific; C. E. Child, rep
resenting, the terminal shippers at
'Omana and Council BJuffs, and
Commissioner Browne.
It has been discovered tb4t lum
ber shippers are in the habit of hold
ting cars at different points loaded
ho as to be in a position to shio
them quickly' to the point where
they are needed the most on short
notice. They have been notified that
this must stop and that in 48 hours
all cars found loaded if not emptied
will, be unloaded by the railroad
company . and the cost of same
charged tc the shipper's. '
Demurrage Charges Heavy.
The practice must slop," said Mr.
Browne. He said in one case it
iiad been discovered 'that on one
car alone the demurrage charges
had amounted to $500. Demurrage
charges after five days amounts to
?1S a day.
Another case which was called to
the attention of the committee was
that of two trainloads of automo
biles standing on coal cars in Ne
braska belonging to the Lehigh
Valley railroad corrmanv. On in
vestigating the matter the company
claimed that thenars were unfit for
shipping coal, but it was shown that
with very little expense the damage
to the cars could be repaired. The
committee wants to know vhy coal
cars are not used for the purpose
for which they were built and by
the road which does so much haul
ing of coal.
-An assembling automobile plant
in Omaha is in the habit of ship
ping to , the plant from a Detroit
f rm several cars of parts. Each car
carries a certain part or parts. The
company has been So. the habit of
taking these parts from the ca! and
assembling the cars on the platform
of the track instead of hauling the
parts to the plant, thus saving haul
ing and handling of the parts more
than once. In case a 'train happens
io be short "Some necessary parts
the whole bunch of cars are held
until the parts arrive. This will have
to be stopped, according tct-the com
mittee, and the cars unloaded im
mediately upon arrival.
': To expedite the; moving of grain
from outstate tow,ns, the committee
has secured the agreement of the
railroads, for a time at least, to
every evening haul 'all loaded grain
cars to Omaha by fast train.

Just because the pangs of
your rheumatism seem to di

proaches, do not make the se
rious mistake of feeling that
you are about to conquer this
disabling disease.
Under no circumstances
should you let up in your ef
forts to combat this affliction,
but you would be wise, rather,
to redouble them, and tak ad
vantage of the favorable sea
son'to rout the disease germs
from the system. -;

fully combat the germs or
Rheumatism is during the
x mild season,' while they
are less active, and will
respond' more readily to
And this is why you should
not lose the opportunity of a
thorough, vigorous course of
treatment during the summer
months. Many, victims of
Rheumatism indulge in the de
lusion that they are at iast
fr6e from the clutches of the
disease simply because they
feel little or no discomfort
during the mild season.
But with the first approach
fall you will find that the little
tpain demons will gradually
become N aroused from their
summer slumbers, ready to re
new their attack with in
creased fury. The best time to
rid the ystem of the germs of
rheumatism is while they are
dormant and inactive, because
thej- are less able to resist the

proper treatment.

last night that W. G. McAdoo, as di
icctor general of railrpadst capital
ized his position for political pur
poses. , ' - '
"He sought iu every conceivable
way, almost regardless of , cost, to
bring his name hefore the public,"
Mr, Saunders said. "It 'was found
that 2,000.000 voters were directly
and pecuniarily involved in every im
portant step taken by the railroad
administration. He soon saw in the
dependency of this class of voters
upon his every action the golden op
portunity to capitalize for political
purposes the policies he pursued."
The people of the country were
"lulled, and McAdooed into a false
.-ense of security and trust," the In
diana representative asserted. "They
did not know that' every time the
sun set this profligate railroads ad
ministration had taken from their
already flattened purses the enorm
ous sum s( $1,666,667. It would not
have added to their comfort," Mr.
Saunders added, "to know that part
of this enormous sum was used ion
propaganda to advance political
aspiration of Director eneral McAdoo."

some logksin expecting relief
from its clutches by rubbing
with liniments and lotions. But
a disease that can cause so
much pain and suffering is
deep-seated and has its source
far below the surface of the
skin.
I The only sensible treatment
from which you can expect re

deep down into the blood sup
