THE RAILROADS' HIRED MAY, Ho Publishes Another Defunse of a Robbing Corporation, MERCHANTS MAKE A TEST CASE. s Lincoln Entitled to Missouri River Rates on Shipments Over the Unton Pacific?~News From the Capital, [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLY BURBAU.] The Journal returns to its assault upon Lincoln and Lincoln people by reitera- ting the stale falschood that the B, & M. railrond has accorded to 1 oln an cqual show with Missouri river towns and granted what it had asked in the rate question. It takes an excellent quality of that which is commonly denominated ‘‘check’’ to publish such statements and then look the business men of the city in the face, but with some people nothing in the work of their master isimpossible. To reiterate what has been said before to such utterly false statements, the B. & M. has acceeded 1n no sense to the demands of the Lincoln freight bu- reau and Lincoln busines men. Every lumber dealer m the city, every conl man in the eity, every agricultural implement man and every retailer knows that the Burlington road has in no manner al- tered their tanffs to their erment. There has b issued a pretended equal- ization of tarifl, but at most liberal construction it ouly 4 remote way benelits o few wholesale grocers and a closer study of the renmrkuhln document is revealing the fact that it is very doubtful if it benefits & single person but to the contrary it is a closer grip upon the city than before. This equaliz rate has reduced the out rate southward to Falls City and northward to David City and Columbus, but the reduetion is directly in territory where other points have etill better rates and results in no wractical benefit, — But it is a rev duction westward from Lincoln and line of equal ward from Kenesaw to Friend. ‘Lbis is the meat in the reduction entire and there is not a business man in Lincoln who examines the facts but knows it. The editor of the State Journal dare face these facts and deny them, paper may resort to subterfuges to dodye the question, it may talk plausibly about “fuir rates,” “B. & M. equal shows,” and try to hide its own bonds and ers y talking about contortions of the Brk and its hired man and trying to blind people’s eyes by the stale cry that the B, & M. has done something for Lincoln which the Bee is jealous, but the facts do not bear it out. * The people of Lincoln are too intelligent to be hoodwinked by a paper that in the face of " a unanimous public opition among jts patrons, has deserted the people that it promised to uphold in their demands, to bear false witness for tho B. & M. ralrond that owns the Journal editor as a slave driver does his chattels. When a question be- tween the B. & M. railroad and the peo- vle of Lincoln ariscs the Journal might as well be published in the South Sea islands a8 where it is, It requires no oontortions on the part of the Bek to state the facts as they exist and let the people be heard. REPLEVINED THE GOODS, ‘The firm of Raymond Bros. & Co., have again replevined goods from the Union Pacitic to test in court the ‘alifornia rate charged by the Union Pacific on Lincoln shipments. The last case of this kind 1s upon a car load of canned salmon shipped from California to Lincoln. The freight charged was the Omaha rate with the local rate trom Omaha to Lincoln added. This the firm claim is a violation of the inter-state law and an unjust discrimination against Lincoln that in miles is a shorter haul than the single haul to Omaha, To test this, therefore, the wholesalers tendered to the Union Pacific the regular Omaha rate and upon the refusal of the company to receive that rate action in replevin was commenced. The suit was filed in the district court on Monday and tho sheritl’ had the summons yesterday to serve and the bond for the guml! was prepared ready for approval. This makes the second test case that this firm has filed and the same policy will be pursued by them on future California consignments until a final hearing and settlement is made. The attorneys for the railroad are mak- ing an effort to have the cases removed into the United States court. CONTRACT AWARDED, Yesterday the board of public lands and buildings hold a business session to open the bids and award the contract for new buildings at tne penitentiary. These buildings are principally new work shops and & few minor improvements and were ordered at the last session of the legislature. There were three bids filed for the work, the lowest bid being W. H. B. Stout for $30.750, and the contract was let to him at that figure. The crowded condition of the penitentiary aud poor facilities for working the con- viets, will make this building, when com« vleted, one that will be appreciated. BRIEF ITEMS, President Barker ot tho state board of agriculture will call & meeting of the board of managers to meet Monday next at the Capital hotel in this city. " Some important questions will be before the board for disoussion and settlement. Judge Mason of the railroad commis- sion received a letter yesterday from General Manager Holdrege complaming ainst the publication of the comparison of rates and stating that it was unfair to the railroad and unfair to the state. Judge Mason acknowledged the receipt of the letter and will dictate a form answer in a few days. The tire alarm was turned in at 11:80 o'clock yesterday and the department made an excellent run to the eorner of M and Thirtoenth streets where the fire was located in the Lindell hotel. Two lines of hose were laid and the iire ql kly controlled with very small loss, the fire originating in & room occupied by & servant. Juilor Baldwin and a neighbor named Clarke had a set-to with guns and iron clubs Monday night and both parties were placed under artest, The trouble has been brewing for some time and ench man is now under bonds to appear in ustice court. Yesterday the cases were lor hearing but both were continned. The police court was animated in ap- pearance, and in fact almost fiumly. yes- terday from the display of millinery that about tifteen or twenty prostitutes exhib- ited while waiting hearing. There were some half a dozen frail men captured the police in the round-up of the houses and the school fund was largely accel- erated from the day's proceedings. In the district court yesterday an effort was made before Judge Pound to remove the nalf dozen or more civil damage suits aganst the B, & M, railroad from the district court to the United States court. ‘Ihese are the cases of the work- men injured in the construction-train wreck at the now town of Deweese last fall at which time a number of deaths rred. It is very noticeaple that in s of this character deternined efforts are made to get the cases beyond the urisdiction of the stite courts, Before udge Chapman the arguments were progressing yesterday in the Dawson will’ case, 1. M, Marquette and L, C. Burr occupying the moraing hours. All the counties with the exception of Logan have reported their assessments as requirad by law to the state auditar, and when the oollectious from s few counties arrive, the grand assessment roll will be complete and ready for pub: ion, Church Howe is 1n the aity for a few daye and was busily engaged yesterday with the county commissioners in ap- raising grounds taken for right of way by his company in their new Crete line, Only a few cases occurred 1n this county in_Which a satisfactory purchase could not be made and the parties were re- ceiving their appraisements yesterds At the last session of the ¢ couneil an amended ordinance relative to the estimate and for the year was ’mn.gml. The ordinance provides the fol- lowing levy: For general fund, 8 mills, interest fund, 6 mills; er fund, 3 mills; special judgment tund, 1 mill; library fund, § mill; fire department, 3 mills; police department, 3 mills; sewer fund, 24 mills; school fund, 10 mulls; total levy, 37 mills. — - Frighttul Waste, Cansumption carrles off its thousands of vietims every year. Yes, thousands of human lives ‘are being wasted that might be saved, for the fact is now es- tablished that consumption, in its early stages, is curable. Dr, Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery™ will, 1t used in time, effect & permanent cure. It has no equal as a remedy for bronchitis, coughs anl colds' Itseflicacy has been proved in thousands of e All droggists., —i A LONG LOST BROTHER.

Upon his recovery and disc from that nstitution he again disap- peared. As the years rolled by and nothing was heard from him he was given up for dead, it having been generally suppoged that he had re-enlisted under another name and had been killed in action, When his mother died, about twelve years ago, an effort was made to discover whether he was living or not, but nothing definite was learned, and all believed him dend except his sister, Anna H. Page, who still held to the belief that he was living, So completely did this idea tak possession of her that' at her death, in 1885, she directed in her will that her es- tate, which was valued at abouat $10,000, should be given to her long lost brother ‘vruvidm! he should return to Mount Tolly within twelve years after her death and satisfy her executor as to to his identity. Two months ago the missing man reached Mount ll(hly. and produced be- fore the executor, James Lippincott, un deniable proofs of his identity, He wa nid the full amount of the legacy on Thursday, and will return to Australia, where he has been living, in a day or two.

JOUN DAy, o —— Low Prices,High Wages, Small Profits From Edward Atkinson'’s essay in the August Century under the above title, accompanied by charts, we quote the following introduction: The minds of many persons have been and are greatly disturbed because there has been in re cent years a great reduction in the prices of nearly all the leading articles of com- merce, the principle decline dating sub- stantially from the year 1 The de- cline 1n prices began soon after the war i the United States, but the general de- cline in all countries on a specie basis may be dated from 1873, By whateyer standard prices are measured (and there are many carefully compiled tables), the average is found to be lower at the present time than at any period since a date anterior to the year 1850, in which year the great supply of old from California, and a little later rom Australia, began to effect the yol- ume of the money metals of the world. In most of the discussions of tk money question this great fall in pri has been treated as if it were n m fortune, and it is often held that measure of legislation ought to be adopted which might tend to c! it Ls not this a very partial and one-sided view of the subject? Some one has wisely and wittily said that ‘it does much matter what happens to the millionaire--how is it with the million?” 1f it shall appear that out of this great reduction in prices the millions have ained higher wi ; that hundredg of thousands of families have gained bter homes and greater comfort in life; while those who have suffered temporary loss have been only the rich who have been incapable of adjusting themselves to the new conditions, or the unskilled poor who have been unable to grasp the reater opportunities for welfare which fivention has offered them, then may we not come to the conclusion that dimin- ished profits and low prices are the complement of higher wages a lower cost, and are, therefore, most cer- tain indications of general progress from poverty to welfare, yet still leaving the problem open, how to help the unskilled poor ? Lit will be remembered that 1t has been stated that to far as the great mass of the people of this and of other lands are con- cerned, about one-half the cost of living ig the price paid for the materials for food, the cost of food to common laborers who have families to support_ being as a rule much more than one half their in- come. The question of interest to those who assume to be strictly ‘“the working is not so much what the price of the ne ities of life may be, as it is how many portions of food, fuel, and clothing each one can buy at the retail shops in which they deal, and how good a shelter each one can procure for ona day's or one year's carmng. In other wards, what'is, or what has been, the value of a day’s labor when converted into the com modities which are necessary to exist- ence. B # The many remarkable cures Hood's Sarsaparilla accomplishes are sufflcient proof that it does possess peculiar cura- tive powers. el Two Rattlesnakes, Napa (Cal.) Calistogan: Thursday last Charles Moberg was laboring in Carver's vineyard, near Mr. Lincoln’s place,down the valley, and when taking his hand from a vine from which he was removing suckers, a rattlesnanke struck at his hand and barely missed it. Moberg having a large pruning knife with him, then sev- ered tfm re thc's head from its body—an act said to have been very cleverly done. Rattlesnakes are extremely scarce in the valley, and the discovery of this one there Was a surprise. One day last week as Joe Downey was returning from Lower Lake with one of William Spier’s freight teams,when about five miles this side of that town he saw a rattlesnake crossing the road a short distance ahead of the team, He stopped the team and killed the - snake, which he doelares was four feet long nd of large circumfervnce for a reptile. It had eleven ruttles.

Mount Joy Star: Quite a number of steers are driven through town every few days to the freight depot to be shipped away. Very frequently these cattle play some rather queer capers while parading the streets. The lot brought here last Friday mormng by the tenant farmer for J. Donald Cameron was, however, above the ordinary run in that respect. One of that number, who doubtless thought nir- self better than the rest, decided to walk on the pavement, which he did for a con- siderable distance, much to the annoy- ance of pedestria! Several glass fronts made narrow escapes from being run in by the bovine's great horns. Indeed the animal at one time seriously considered to go down the steps into the queensware cel‘["flr of Breneman's store. It was, how- ever, decided to enterin at n more con- venient place, and the next attempt was made to get up the steps into the tailor- ing shop of Frank B. Graw, and was only prevented from doing so by having the door stammed 1n his face and shut before an entrance was gained. ; ‘The walk was continued until the resi- dence of H. S. Staufler was reached; here the front door of the parlor was open, to let in some fresh morning air. The brute at once walked inside without rapping or waiting for an invitation. As he was considerably overheated and found the room quite™ cool, it scems that it was at once decided to stay at such a comfortable place, as it took the work of several persons for a considerable time, with good whips well laid on, to make -the intruder decide to leave the parlor. At last, however, he came out, and that, too without doing any dama Before the stock-yards were reached several other attempts were made to enter build- ings, yards, and to get on the pavement. Some of our citizens, of course, objected to the cattle being driven through town, but it could hardly be expected that the farmers residing “west from here would drive around and come in the pike east or up the Haverstick road, which would be the only way to get to the stock-yards without driving them through town. e Pozzoni.

Nothingwill do more to produce or en- t than to use Mr. Pozzoni's pre- parations. ———— - MAT SPLITLOG'S LUCK. An Indian Who s Reputed Worth a Million, A correspondent of the St. Loms Re- publican tells the following story ef the richest Indian in the. United States: In 1843 Splitlog came west with some ot his tribe, and found after his arrival at West Port Landing (now Kansas City) that he only had fifty cents in lis pocket. He induced an old Indian to go his security for the price of an ax. With this ax he cut cord wood for the steamboats at the rate of twenty-five cents per cord, and after payimg for the ax, which cost $3, he soon saved enough to buy a pony, and shortly after we find him with a herd of horses. About 1830 Splitlog was married to the daughter of the old man who went his security for the price of the ax and shortly afterwards he began to build a mill, “At this time he had no money to pay for labor, so he did the work himself. He selected the tumber, hauled the logs, and had a ‘‘raising”—that s, had neighbors come and help him raise the building. He finished the mill himself with everything--but the burrs. These would cost at that time $150, and Splitl had no money : still he was determine: to give up the idea of running a mill." en in this dilemma a steam- boat which was unioading & pair of burrs at the * landing" accidentally let them fall overboard, ' and they sabk to the bottom of the llrmurlrfvv . Bplitlog, to be learned of this,contracted with the owner to pay him $26 for the burrs and take them up himself, which he evidently did after much trquple and hard work, and having got the burrs out of thce river it took but a short tme to get ready to start the mill. The machinery was ripged for horse-power, and the day that Splitlog started he hitched in eight unbroken horses from his herd anp earned 85 cents cash, and in the evening he gave his money to his wife and told her to go to Northrap’ litlog's present bankers in Kansas City) and buy them something Zood to eat, as he now had that much money that he did not neced. Splitlog’s mill was a succe: 1855 we find him one of the leading men of his tribe. By the treaty of the Upper Sandusky the Wyandottes are not a lowed to alienate their lands, but in 155 a new treaty was made between the Wy- andottes and the United States which severed the tribal relations of the Wyan- dottes. After the adoption of this treaty Splitlog began to speculate in real estate and, although he can neither reaa nor write he has been one of the most suc- cessful speculators 1n the neighborhood of Kansas City, and 1s to day worth over $1,000,000. About fourteen years ago Splitlog moved to Indian territory s located on Elk river, near the M line and about four miles from Tifi' City, and recently he becume interested in a silver ming 1n McDonald county, Mis- souri, With his characteristic energy he began operations at once. He hired a mining expert named B. F. Requa, from Chicago, to superintend the operations at the mines, and becoming convinced that to develop the mines and byild up a towr of Splitiog n railroad was necessary he, together with his vartner in the mines, Moses W. Clay, commenced nego- ting with the projectors of the New Or- s, Natchez & FKort Scott railroad company, and soon that company was formed for the purpose of building a rail- d between the terminal points named in its title and running by way of Neosho and Splitlog City, This company being too slow to meet the vigorous ideas of Splitlog and Clay, they severed their con- nection with the same, and Mathias Spiit- log, Moses W. Clay, George Hubbort, and others organized the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Southern railroad company Wwith a capital of $3,000,000, for the pur- pose ot building & railroad from Kansas City to Fort Smith, passing through Split- log City and Neosho. ‘T'his road is now raded for about thirty miles between Splitlog City and Joplin, anditis ouly a question of a few months when the cars will run southward from Joplin to Fort Smith, and Mathias Splitlog, the million- aire Indian, who is| probably the richest man of his race, will be known all the s and in Banker Goldschmidt—Judze Ingersoll, my son would esteem it his highest good fortune if you would bestow upon him ove of your girls.
