DISCUSSING FREIGHT RATES Members of the State Board of Transporta- tion Oonfer with Railroads, TALK OF LOWERING THE LOCAL RATES Milling In Transit Is Out of Rench of the State Board, But the Sugar Taciy Can Readjusted asily. Thero was a groat gathering of politicians and state ofiicials yesterday at the Millard hotel. They all declared, collectively and in- dividually, that the meoting took place en- tirely by accident, but it was very evident that this could not huve been the case. The state officials present wero Attorney General Hastings, Troasurer Hill, Sccrotary of State Allea and Secretaries Johnson and Kuntze of the State Board of Transporta- tion. Other prominent gentlemen present were Hon. G. D. Meiklejohn, Fullerton; T. C. Callahan, Friend; J. C. Cline, Mindel d- 1tor Simmons of the Seward Reporter, J. Hoover, grain merchant, Blue Hill, and half & dozen lesser lights. The bers of tke State Board of Trans- portation held a conference during the after- noon with Secretary Nason of the Omaha Board of Trade, and with several grain men upon the milling-in-transit rate, business and other matters, and later thoy met some of the prominent raiiroad managers and talkea over the freight rate matter. May Re t Rates. Af‘or the conference between tho members of the bonrd and the railrond men at the B. & M. bendquarters, 8 Beg reporter met At- torney General Hastings and asked him about the result. He still professed ignor- ance of tho subjeot for a few minutes, but finally admitted that the State Board of Transportation was cousidering & new ad- justment of raies. *“T'his milling- sit rate busivess is a matter that falls within the jurisdiction of the Intorstate Commerce commission,” said Mr. Hastings. “‘We are willing to_do what we can in the matter, but the Interstate Commerce commission would probavly hold over us in all such regulations.” ‘With rezard to rates withinthe state Mr. Hustings said: here has been some dis- cussion of what is called the straight rate on sugar comig from California. That means, for instance, that sugar coming from San Francisco und stopped at 1iastings, Grand Island, Kearney, or somewhero out there, shall be hauled at one rate to the point where it 18 unloaded and not the rate to Omaha and back to its destination. This is ractically the same fight that is on down \n ansas. This would probably be very hard on the jobbers and wholesalers of Omaha, because the small jobbers in the iuterior of the state could handle sugar at a lower rate than Omaha houses could.” It is understood that a general discussion of the freight problem took place in General Manager Holdroge’s oftice yester- day afternoon and the State Board may be expected to announce before many days some change in the present tariffs as a re- sult of the conference. What the Wire Pullers Want., The political end of the gathering appeared to be simply the wire pullers and local senti- nels from various parts of the state who claim to have feit the pulse of the people as to the effect of a reasonable reduction of rates at this time by the State Board of Transportation. J. H. Ager, formerly one of the secretaries of the State Board of Transportation, was Slrcsanluthe reprosentative of the State ournal, and seemed to be doing some lively coaching. There were several interesting conferences held at the Millard touching po- litical aspirations in the interior of the state. - ———— A KansasMan's Experionce and Colds, Colds and coughs have been 8o prevalent during the past few months that the experi- ence of Albert Favorite of Arkansas City, Kan., cannot fail to interest some of our readers, Hereltis in his own words: *1 contracted a cold early Jast spring that sot- tled on my lungs and hod hardly recovered from It when I caught another that hung on all summer and left me with a hacking cough which I thought I never weuld gev rid of, 1 had used Chamberlain’s cough remedy some fourteon vears ago with much suceess and concluded 'to try itagain, When I had got through with one bottle my cough had left mo and I have not suffered with a_cough or cold since.

About seventeen years ago John Treber, then 20 years of age, living in the village of Hoohbeim in Germany, reported himself to the nearest military station for enlistment in the army, as every able-bodied young man of that age in the German empire is required to do. He reported in the spring, but was not to enter into the service of the kaiser until the following October. In the meantime John had been thinking the ratter over and had finally come to the conclusion that there was more glory than profit in working for the emperor, so ho re- solved to risk the consequences and flee to America. Two months before the time fixed for him to commence his military duties he was on theocean, en route for the land of freedom. After going through the usual trials and tribulations that fall to the lot of the average emigrant he began to make money and engaged in business at Deadwood, 8. D, where he was much liked and re. spected, being elected to the city council a fow years ago. Last fall an irresistible desire to visit his native land so that he could once more see his aged father took possession of him, His friends, however, advised bim not to go to his old home, but to write to his father and have him meet him on the Freunch border, where he could not be molested by the offi- cers of the German government. Last Octo- ber,in_accordance with this arrangement, he met his father, whom ha had not seen for seventeen years, and the old man ‘was 80 proud of his son that in spite of the risk, uothing would do but he must show him off in the old German village, He argued that after so long a lapse of time thero would be no trouble, but in this he made great mistakes, Following the ill-advised ocounsel of his proud and doting father, Mr. Treber ven- tured to once again enter the little viluge where he was born, trusting that his altered appearance and long absence would prevent his being recognized by the mil- authorities, But he was to disappointment, for in the midst of a round of social pleasures he was suddenly pounced upon aud put under arrest for desertion from the German army. He was tried, condemned and sentenced to six months imprisonment, with hard labor, in the military prison, and was also ordered 1o serve out & term of three years in the army after he was liberated from jail. He was not without friends, however, and they worked ardously and rsistently for his release and finally their efforts ‘were crowned with success. * Last evening Tier & Co. of this city recerved the following telegram : Daavwoon, 8, D., March 11.—Treber was liberated yesterdasy through efforts of ‘Adolphus Busch, Cuarres M. Raxpoirn, There is little doubt but that Mr. Trever will ioseno time in making tracks for the country of his adoption after his somewnat unpleasant reception in the iand of his birth. . —— Mvs, L. R.

President Harrison Alone Can Save the Life of the Soldler Murderer, I'he only power that can now save Mr, Clinton E. Dixon from death on the gallows rosts with the president of the United States. The sixty days granted Dixon's attornoy in which to file his bill of excevtions expired yesterday, and no bill was filed. The attor- noy general hus not decidea to have the transcript made at the government's expense, or, ut least, no intimation of such an intertion has been received by District Attorney Baker and it is taken for granted that the attorney general does not propose to touch the case, but will leave the finding of the lower court as it now stands. The president will probably be appealed to for a commutation of the sentonce to life im- prisonmont. The crime for which Dixon was tried and found guilty, was the murder of Corporal John R. Carter av Fort Niobrara ou Septen- ber 13 last. Dixon is still con- fined in the felon’s cell at the Douglas county jail, and unless Prosident Harrison interposés with & commutation of the sentence Dixon will be.hanged on the 22d day of April next, Speaking of the case Attorney Baker said: ‘““As a matter of fact the court never granted an extension of time for tho filing of the bill of exceptions inthe Dixon case. There was a rather ludicrous mistake made in the matter. When «Dixon’s attorney presented the application for an extension of time the judge evidently supposed that he was signing an order for the extension, but ho signed the application. Dixon’s at- torney seemed to rest under the impression that the order for the extension of time had been signed, and I thought so until I looked the matter up, I should not have taken ad- vantage of the error, however, if Mr. Dolan had wished to present his bill of exceptions during the sixty days in which he supposed he haa heen grantea time to make bis appeal to the supreme court. But the time 1s now expired, anyway, and I suppose Dixon’s at- torney will make his appeal direct to Presi- dent Harrison.” e READY FOR FURNISHING. Contractor Coots Has Practically Com- pleted His Part of the City Hall. ‘‘Members of the council and other citizens equally well posted have apparently taken considerable satisfaction in talking about me being slow with city the hall work,” saia Contractor Coots yesterday ‘‘but if the other contractors were as well along as I am the city officials could move into their new quarters next week.” Sixty days ago Mr. Coots agreed to have the offices on the first floor of the city hall ready for occupancy at this time if the city would pay half the cost of having the build- ing heated for sixty days. Itwas a week be- fore the contract was made and Mr. Coots has more than done his share. In fact, there now remains but little work to be done to place the entire building with the exception of the council chamber ready for use, All of the offices have been plastered and the carpenters have their work done from cellar to garret with the exception of hanging the doors and putting on a few needed finishing touches. The committee only de- cided last week on the kind of hardware to be used on the uoors or this work would be out of the way. In twoor three more work- ing days Mr. Coots will have the carpenter work on the building completed. Of course the rotunda is to be finished yet, but the oftices can be occupied just as soon as the furniture and vault contractors do their work. Me¢. Coot's work, what romains of it, will not interfere with the imnmediate occupancy of the building. “Lam doing all that can be done on the council chamber,’” said Mr, Coots, ‘‘but that 15 an especially particular piece of work and I'm gowng to do 1t right if it takes all sum- mer." —————— No safer remedy can be had for coughs and colds, or any trouble of the throat, than “Brown’'s Bronchial I'roches.” Price 25 cts, Sold only in boxes. e COOLEY’'S CLIENT. Been: Overcharged and the Juage Is in Jail, The strong arm of the law wound itself about the form of Judge Julius S. Cooley yesterday -afternoon and dragged him to a dark and dismal cell in the city jail. During the afternoon a cowplaint of embezzlement against Cooley was filed by Gus O'Kane and charging that the *judge” had failed to wuru over certan moneys collected for and belonging to O'Kaune, The complainant was formerly in the em- rloy of the Missour: Pacific raflway and was njured while at work. A settloment wus made through Cooley, who obtaived $400 in cash {rom the rallway company, Out of this amount the judge turned over to O'Kana only $185, “he failure to account for the balance was the cause of his arrest. At the time of his arvest Cooley stated that it was a case of spite work and that he had fulfilled bis part of the contract. To substantiute this state- ment he exhibited & written agroement, in which O'Kane promised to give bim 50" per cent of the amount collec! from the rail- way company. This, of course, would make the judge's feo $200, leaving only $15 to be ac- counted for. In speaking of the deficit Judge Cooley said that the restof the money was spent in looking up the case. O'Kane clalms that he was under the influence of liquor at the time he signed the document, and now thinks that the judge got altogether too much of a rake-off, g ‘I'ne judge's bond was tixed at $500, but up to midnight no one had been found who was willing to sign the papers which would open the door to the judge's cell, ana he was com- pelled to1est his aching head on the hard side of & bench until morning, OMAHA DUN'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK Unusnally Favorable Indioations of an Im- proving Spring Trade. IMPROVEMENT ~ EVIDENT EVERYWHERE All the Great Industries Active—Money Abundant for Legit Wall Street Charncterized by Quict Market—Clearing House Reports, nate Business— New York, March 11.—R. G. Dun & ( Weekly Review of Trade says: Distribution of proaucts is unquestionably improving. Transactions are on the whole larger than a vear ago, in spite of depression at the south, beibg much Iarger at the west. Nor 18 im- provement confined to that section, though general there; it is also moro distinctly felt in eastern cities and there are not wanting signs that trade at the south, though still much embarrassed by the low price of cot- ton, is steadily gaining. With all the great industries notive, with money abundant. in spite of gold exports, and with speculation kept in wholesome check, the outiook would seem to be unusually favorable, notwith- standing general complaints that prices are low and margins of protit unusually small. Iron has been the dismal feature, but in- stead of u decrease the weekly output shows a large increacc, so that on March 1 it was the largest ever known. The trouble in this dustry is that while sharp compatition be- tween nofthern and southorn producers uts down prices the consumption bias been rrogular, at some seasons extraordinary, but at othors hesitating, Southern com- panios are trying to consolidate. Rails are inactive, bar is dull and plates weaker. In copper there is also an effort to consoli- date, or combino producers, as yet with un- certain results. Trade in tin bas been small and lead is dull. Textile Industries. The textile industries are improving, while buyers. do not spcculate, and the tone is woaker; 1t is clear that manufacturors are taking wool more largely. On the whole, more machinery 18 busy than a year ago, especially in cheviots, ~overcoatings and cloakings, and the dress goods trade has suc- cessfully closed a big season. In knit goods, buyers hesitote. The trade in cotton goods 18 lurgely in _excess of last year's sales in February, showing a big increase in every department. usiness the past week has been better at Boston, Hartford notes improvement in_dry goods. ‘At Philadelphia, while iron is demoralized and tho market for wool in buyers' favor, the liberal orders appear for dry gocds and the trade, except with the south, is the best for many vears. Pittsburg finds the volume of trade in fron smaller and some further talk of closing fur- naces, but the glass trade is fair. The grocery trade at Cincinnati is good, and saddlery and harness active. Good trado 1s noted at Cleveland in dry goods, hardware, boots and crockery, and the jobbing trade exceeding last year's a, Detroit. Chicago reports a liberal increase in sales of morchandise, exceeding last year's thus far, and receipts of products show gains of a third in cattle, half in corn and rye, double 1ast year's in flour and barley, three times in whoat and four times in dressed beef, while a decrease of a third is seen in cured meats, hogs and wool. Money is plenty for legiti: mate trade, Throughout the Northwest, Throughout the northwest the storm has unsettled trade, though everywhere pre pects are considered bright, and at Milwau- kee and St. Paul trade much exceeds last year’s for the week, and at St. Louis pros- peots are considered good for a large increase in trade. It 1s gratifying that notes of cheer come from the south. Louisville reports the larg- est sales of tobacco in the history of the trade and general improvement, while the business is fair but improving at Nashville, and some improvement is seen at . New Orleans, whore sugar is rising, with an active demand and a better fecling is seen in cotton. Speculation in prpduots is weak, wheat being 22{ cents lower and corn one-fourth of & cent, exports falling much below those of recent weeks, Oats and pork products are unchanged, vil three-eighths of a cent higher, but coffee is three-eigths of a cent lower. A drop of an eighth in cotton puts the price down to §5.93, the lowest for more than forty years, and receipts continue to exceed last year’s though this week exports fall behind. All exports from New York show a decrease for the month thus far of about 8 per cent. Though money is abundant rates on call have slightly advanced, and the market for commeroial loans is a little stiffer at most eastern cities. The business failures occuring throughout the coantry during the last seven days num- ber 256, as comparea with a total of 240 last week. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 273 WALL STREET FOR A WEEK, Speculation Narrow and Professional and Lacking the Exciting Episodes. New Yonk, March 11.—Bradstroet's Weekly Wall Street Review says: The market this week has been lacking in those exciting episodes which distioguishea tho previous one. The speculation has been par- row and professional to a degree, while for- oign participation was of the lightest possible character, At the same time it must be noted that the absence of very heavy selling from European sources is regarded as a favorable sign, while there is more reason to beliove that the ease with which this market has ab- sorbed the stocks which London sold after the beginning of the year is producing a ben- eficial change of sentiment abroad in regard to American securities, This will bear fruit hereafter, and for the time being the ex- change murket was too narrow and unsteady to permit of operations in solving the trans- fer of gold to Europe. This gave encourage- ment to the bulls and though bearish demon- strations were not absent the market, as a whole, exhibited surprising firmness in view of the extraordinary fluctuations and manip- ulation to which it had been treated, Rumors of Deals and Combinations, Rumors of deals and combinations were spoken of, but did not find the favor which attended them in the preceding week. The chief factor In the proceedings was indeed somewhat unsettling in its influences. At the beginning of the week the prospects, pro and con, of the payment by the St. Paul of a dividend on its common stock brought the chief question upon what speculation turns. Up to the announcement, 1ate on Thursday afternoon, that it had been decided to - post- pone for the present the resumption of dividends the matter was involved uncertainty, This, of course, inter- fored with the progress of bullish manipula- tion, and the interests which wero 80 busy on that side of the market apparently con- cluded Lo suspend oporations until a more settled state of affairs was reached, The unexpectedly large majority which the silver men displaved in the house of repre- sentatives was a subject of discussion in speculative circles, though it cannot be said that the prospect of legislation of that char- acter 1s regarded as atangible factor in affecting prices, On the other hand the con- dition of western railroad trafic was re- garded with some interest, and the tenor of Teports from that quarter, intimating that the railroad tonnage through the spring months would be very heavy, was regarded D?PRICE'S an Baking - Powder: Used in Millions of Homes—40 Years the Standard, DAILY BEE; SATURIMA Y asindicative of hessy carninge, with a corre sponding influonanam pricos.

The fastest regular passenger train in the wortd will hereafter be a feature of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad service: The new flyer, called the “Empire State Express,” will be pliced in servioe October 26 and sched- uled to run from New York to Buffalo, 440 miles, in eight hours and forty min- utes, an averageof 524 miles per hour, actual running timo. It will leave Grand Central station at 9:00 a. m every day, Sundays excepted, and stop at Al- bany at 11 a. m., Utica 1:40 p. m., Syracvse 2:45 p. m., Rochester 4:06 p. m., arriving at Buffalo 5:40 p. m. The capacity of the New York Central rondbed and équipment to- sustain such remarkable sYeud has been repeatedly and successfully tested, notably on the recent trip of the Japan mail from Van- couver, B.C., to-New York, the several trips of Baron vomw Schroeder; Mr. Her- man Oelrichs‘and Mr. John Mackay from San Francisco to New: York, antd the wonderful performance of the special train on September 14, which covered the distance from New York to East Buffalo, 4364 miles, in 425% minutes. This capacity is due to the fact that the New York Central is in almost every respect an ideal railway, practically freo from grades or curves, with four tracks, two exclusively for passenger trains and the largest and most powerful en- gines in existence. Owing to its unique advantages, limitations which prevail in other quarters do not apply to the great four-track route, and this line is constantly introducing innovations and improvements for the convenience and comfort of the traveling public it so sat- isfactorily serves. —— CONTRACTS AWARDED.
