of The Bee's stereotyping depart
ment, met the late Dr. George L.
iMuler in 1854 while they were com-
g from St. Joseph to Omaha oik a
Jeamboat.
"A friendship grew from that
iwhich lasted till my father's death,"
iiid Mr. Connolly. "Dr. Miller was
the kind of man to whotn.othcr men
drawn. He had a . magnetism
an air of being interested in the
airs and olans of a!l with whom
r lie came in contact
'. J- "My father put all three of his
j. I sons to work in Dr. Miller's Omaha
' j Herald office. I stayed with the
!;1 business the longest, my two broth
y ers getting out into other lines after
i a few years.
( ( At the Herald oflice in the early
VI days were Frank Wallace, who
f'V started jn I869and continued until
V'11913: William Scott, who began in

Jake Reiner, who began in 1880."

(hlcaca Tribune-Omaha I lJm4 Wire.
.Washington, Aug. 31. There will
be no woman's party ticket in the
political field this year, (and the
chance that there ever will be one
is exceedingly remote, judging from
the views as to the party's future
activities, which have been . under
animated discussion at the national
headquarters ever since the (suffrage
amendment passed definitely into
the constitution. . -
There is practically nojdifference
of opinion as to the necessity of fur
ther work .to blot out the discrim
inations against women in state leg
islation and in other than political
fields, but whether this can best be
done through the maintenance of
the woman's party or through other
existing organizations is a question
on which opinion at present is about
evenly divided.
This is the question which will be
determined at the national conven
tion of the woman's party to be held
here' next month.
In the meantime, the energies of
Miss Alice Taul and her lieutenant
are being devoted to e raising of
S12.000 to pay the remaining bills
forwarded from Tennessee, the last
battleground of the ratification 'cam

Lincoln, Aug. 31. (Special) For
the present atleast, the Union Paci
fic railroad will comply with the
schedule of freight rates fixed by the
state railway commission within the
state of Nebraska, allowing only 25
per cent increase over thoie hither
to charged. Its intention inlhis re
spect was shown today when it filed
new tariff sheets with the commis
sion embodying this advance.
- Other railroad companies doing
business in Nebraska have not yet
been heard from, but it is supposed
they will follow the ejample of the
Union Pacific by filing rate sheets
based on the 25 per cent boost.
' Conform with Order.
The Union Pacific, in a brief letter
to the commission, says that the new
rafes have made up in conformity
with its order of August 23. They
are to become effective on one day'.j
notice. The printed schedule of
rates is prefaced by the announce
ment in black -type:
"The rates named herein apply on
Nebraska interstate traffic only, and
mutt not be used as a basis for rates
on interstate traffic."
All carriers increased their inter
state freight rates 35 per cent August
26, under authority of the Interstate
Commerce commission. Tn Ne
braska the general advance is 10 per
cent less, while rates on brick and
hollov building tile are left un
changed, and the rates on sand, gra
vel and crushed rock are limited to
160 -per cent of the old hauling
chargse before Director General Mc
Adoo began the rate boosting pro
cess under government control, in
June. 1918.
The Union Pacific and-other rail
roads have'joiiied hands in restrain
ing enforcement of the 2-cent fare
law in Nebraska, and are still col
lecting three cents a mile on trips
within the state,. but interstate tick
ets are sold at the increased rate of
3.6 cents in accordance with the 20.
per cent increase granted by the fed
eral commission.
Special State Fair Rate.
As heretofore announced, the car
riers will make a sppcial round trip
rate from Nebraska points to Lin
coln for the state fair, amounting
to one and one-half times the regu
lar one-way fare, with a minimum
of $1. The Union Pacific is the first
one to file its local and joint passen
ger tariff sheet on that subject.'
Over its own lines and in con
junction with the Burlington, the
Northwestern. 4he Rock Island, and
the Grand Island roads, the Union
Pacific will sell tickets at the rate
specified, beginning September 4 and
tip to September 10, with return limit
on September II. This will
state fair visitors to come
coin as early as next Saturday, and
they need not return until the fol
lowing Saturday. '
iThe usual rate for children half
the adult fare will prevail under the
special rates for the state fair.
Formal notice of the injunction
suits brought in federal court by
Nebraska railroads to, prevent en
forcement of the two-cent fare has
been filed wthi Governor McKelvie
in accordance with the regulations
of the United States courts. A copy
of the restraining order in each case
was left at the executive office.
