T. BELL, 'y W, U., Buckibgham, Discriminating Against Omaha, ““Talk about the railroads discriminat- ing against Omaha,” remarked a live stock man at the stock yards yesterday,*if the citizens of Omaha knew one-half of what we shippers do, they would raise a howl that would be heavd as faras Omaha is known. Why, I was up to O'Neil, in Holt county, on the line of the Elkhorn Valley road, the other day, and by acci- dent learned that the road was hauling stock to Chicago for $50,00 per car. Of course that was not an open rate, and was only a private arrangement with heavyshippers. Lingquired the rate to Omahn, as Tdid not care to go to Chi cago, and what do you think they had the face o ask me? They wanted $18.00 to Omaba, with $3.00 additional churges per car for switching down to the stock yards, "mkm'f the rate to Omaba yards 51,00, or §1.00 per ear more "than to Chicago. I believe it i3 all right “for a road to work for the long haul, but when it comes to charging more for hauling a car from O'Neillto Omaha than from O'Neill to Chueago, it is goiag too far. This is only ono ease, but 1 you will go to the troubls of investigating for yourself yon will find the smne thing is going on eourse, these cut rates are-kept very quiet, and the railroad officers will stand straight np and look you straight in the eye and declare by all that is great and good that they are not eutting rates, It Secreta is enly when you get on the inside that you I¢ who i rn the truth, or when someonc blame for this, forif we were only wi to spend a little tin into the legislature who would look to be robbed on and.” Care That Costs, Judge MeCulloch was engaged yester- day in the hearing of the case of Nancy vson vs, the estate of J, B.
