k- | {§ 7 4 ‘B ~Re \oum is being conductad under the guise of WILL PREVENT SWINDLING | How Farmers Will Bo Affected by the Pro* posed Grain Grading System, ONE STANDARD FOR ALL CITIES Middie Men Wil Not Be In Demand as the Wil Have a Fair Idea of What His Returns Should Be, Producer Wasnixerox Boneav or tns Bree, 513 FOURTERNTR STRRET, } Wasnixaros, D, C., April 14, Thers is a great deal of enthusiasm and ‘ongratulations among the granger elements of congress over the bill which passed the senate yestorday directing the secretary of agriculture to fixa national standard for grading grain, It is stated by mombers of the houso committes on agriculture that tho measure will b a law within a month, as an afrmativo action has aiready been taken by thelr committee, Tho bill1s not alone In tended to rellove the farmers in the great wheat growing states of the northwest from the tricks of the elevatormen, who grade gratn to suit thomselves and the market, but 10 ocorrect wido differoncos between the wheat buyers, and especially at Duluth, Chicago, Cincinnati, Tolodo, Buffalo, Balu more and some other placos Mr. Funston of Kansas joins Senator Pad- dock in tho belief that more grain dealers and heavywoight producers fail 1n business through cheating in tho grading of grain than anything else. Very Ensily Manipulated. Mr. Funston, who was chairman of tho 1ast house committee on agriculture, and is at present a member of that body, said today : “No person who has grain fo le, be ho denlor or producer, knows within 20 cents n bushel most of tho time what he will get for it when it passes the hands of tho grader, and ho trusts his fortune to the machinations of tricksters when ho places the grain upon the cars, without first having it graded. Numver 2 in Nobraska may be number 3 at Chicago, or number 1 at Tndianapolis may be numoer 3 at Tolodo. ‘This bill, when it bo- comes o law, will make grai of the same grado in all ‘markots, and farmers can ship thelr own grain as well as dealers, for thoey need have no fearsof being swindled 1n grading.” The Iaw will ba a great blessing to the farmers, elovator men and grain buyers of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and other roat wheat growing states. It is believed gy men from those sections that it will give uniformly more satisfactory prices and will certainly romove tho specuiator and uncer- taln features of legitimato grain producing and grain growing. Towa Politics Discussed. Hon. Spencer Smith of Council Bluffs, ehairman of the state railroaa commission of Iown, arepublican, and his colleague on the commission, Hon. Peter Dey, a demo- crat, ara hore attending the conference of tbe stato railroad commissioners before the nterstate commission. Mr. Smith say: ‘Probibition will cut lit- tle or no figure in tho state and national elec- tions in Iowa this year. The outlook tor re- publican victory i3 bright enough, and we will curry the state easily. Of course ITowa is as greatly devoted to Mr. Blaine as over.” Mr. Doy says: “lowa democrats would dearly lovo to see Governor Boies nominatea for president because of his ability, his char- acter and his wonderful triumphs In two successive gubernatorial elections. Governor Boies is a good man and has the happy fac- ulty of impressing his honesty of purpose on every crowd he addresses. Some one bas said of him that ‘he hus a faco like an afti- davit and a voice like the songs of Solomon.’ Next to Boies Cleveland 1s the choice of the grentost number.” Kem as a Co-Operation Champlon, Representative Kem has surprised his friends by appearing in tho house as a cham- ion of co-operation. Ho has -just reported from the committoo on Indian_affairs a_bill authorizing the Dennison & Northern Rail- road company to comstruct and operatea rallway through the Indian Territory. This 13 thio first laborious duty performed by Mr. Kem as congressman. Although there are many Nebraska bills in the committees and on tho calondar of tho house, Mr. Kem ap- fours to have lost slght of them and to bo ooking after goneral measuros. Opposing the Pure Food Bill, Opoosition to the Paddock pure food bill is being exerted just now to defeat considera- tion of the measure In the house. It will be necessary for the house committee on rules o report a svecial order fixing a day for tho consideration of this measure or it cannot have a hearing, This reduces the field of operations for the opponents of the bill and they are bringing groat pressure to bear just uow to prevent a special order bewng re- portea. The opposition comos from two di- Tections, the cotton seed oil interests of the south ana the manufacturers of patent medicines who do nor want to submit thelr formulas to experts, although they are ro that under no circumstances is it possi- o for their formulas to be known. The interferonce with fnterstate rogulations. Tho friends of tho measure openly assert, that no honest dealer is opposed to the bill. Tho manufacturers of an unbealthy and fraudu- Iont alum baking povzder which is sold at the price of and as cream tartar baking -powdors and cortain oleomargarino makers who aro disposing of thelr products for croamery butter are, undor the surface, vigorously op- posing this bill, More Trouble with Chill, A member of tha house foreign affairs com- mittee is authority for the statoment that the diplomatic relations between Chiil and the United States will shortly end. He corrobo- rates tho report published recently to the ef- fect that Miuister Egan would never go back 1o Chiliin a diplomatic capacily and adds that he does not expeot that anybody will be sent thero at least for somo time. ‘“The relations have been strained for quite a while,”” he added. “This has been known all along on the outside. Montv's re- turn was aue to the rupture intente and thougn a roport has gone forth that & suc- cessor will be sent here, I do not believe it; neither do 1 beliove that this country will send one there to succoed Egan. Diplomatic relations will be quietly dropped.’ President Harrison's Position, All sorts of reports have been cu bout. Washington for several woeks as to sowe possible ,u-n of opposition to the re- pomination of Mresident Harrison upon which leaders of the republican party, both ‘within and without congress, who ure dis- atisfled with the distribution of patronage by this adminstration, aud _therefore desiro a change, might unite. The latest form which these flying reports Jhave assumed is that several republican senators, who are clussed s “anti-aaministration’ republicans, bave agreed upou the form of aletter to be addressed to the president, requesting him n the interest of Y-ny harmony and sucoess at the polls to declare that he will not accept @ renomination, This story carries with it its own contradiction, It has, however, been glven such wide oirculation as to déserve attention, It may bo stated again in the most positive way that President Harrison is not a *‘candi- date" for renomination in the sense that ho is working for that honor which so large a portion of the party sincerely believe he do- sorves. ‘I'his vory fact makes it impossible tuat there could be upon the part of any of those who, for consolentious or other motives, oppose him, an inteution to ask him to with draw from the field. If President Harrison 1s In the fleld at all it is because of the force of events. He cannot withdraw because he is not an intruder. 1t has aiways boen per- fectly undorstood that the one desire of both Presidont Harrison ana Secretary Blaine ‘was 10 see nominated at Minueapolis e re- biican candidate who would be electea. ence uuy expression askiug his ‘with. rawal” would be as noedless as absurd.

Brown, who has been representing a | Now York cattle oxporting firm at tho yards for several woeks past, has left fora tem- porary absence in the east. The export sales have become an important element of the trade on the local market and_an_ effort will be made to dovelop this branch of the mar- ket. During the five weeks which Mr. Brown has boon located here ho has bought and shipped about 200 carlonds of export cattle. Ho says that tho stock area tributary to this market affords an excellent supply of the hoavy cattle suitablo for export, and there is every roason to expect that they will soon bo in demand by other eastern firms. Tho only drawback to the shipment of this grado of stock from here is the disparity of rates be- tween live stock and the dressed product. Acvording to a decision of the Intorstate Commerco commission the rates are the same, but that decision did not apply to transportation contracts made before that time. Some of tho packers had contracts with ceriain roads to carry their dressea meat producs for a rate but littie over half the rate on live stock. This rate has to be met by other roads, and as o result tne rate decision is practically inoperative in certain cases. Assailed by a Brute, | Joe Wilson, a 12-year-old boy, who lives with bis parents at Eighteerthand P stroets, was the victim of & cowardly and brutal as- sault yesterday afternoon. He was passing the Delmonico hotel corner, carrying a sack of coko on his baok, when'he was accosted by a young fellow who asked him if he knew how to Aight. The boy replied in the nega- tive. The oider man said: “Woll, I'll show you how,” ana struck the boyin the face twice, breaking his nose and causing the blood to flow freelv. The affair was ovserved by a number of stock yards employes, but tho assailant ran away up the track before they could stop him. Youug Wilson was taken to the polico station, where his wounds were dressed, He conld not tell the name of his assailant, but gayo a pretty good description of him, and he will bo arrested i in town again, 8 oy, Alfred van Derrkirk, a 13-year-old boy, was sent to the reform school by Judge Fowler yesterday. The boy lives in town with his parents, but they confess themselves totally unable to control him.

Bee bldg Samuel S. Gause, | TO CUT DOUGLAS STREET AGAIN. A Meet of Property Ow Discuss the Matte 5 Called to It better graded thoroughfuro than street now is. Property owners along Douglas stroot have prepared a petition to be presented 1o the city council, asking that the street grade be lowered from Sixteenth to Twentieth stroets, and also to establish the grade of the ntersecting strosts—Seventoenth, Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth., The petition bas bean signed by the major- ity of property owners pu all these streets oxcept Seventeenth, upon iwhich it is pro- posed to make a cut of three feet at the in- tersection of Seventeenth and Douglas. The grade starts from the:south slde of the alley at the rear of Tk Bepbuilding, and has & gradual incline to Douglas, thereby making i the cut three feet. To this Henry Pundt, who owns property at the southwest corner { of Seventecnth and Douglas, objects, and has refused to sign the petition for the grade. On all of the other sireets the petition has a majority of 1,200 feet_signed, and as only ono signaturo is neces¢ary for' the grade on Seventeenth street, Mr.” Pundt's refusal to sign it vrevents the petition from being sub- mitted to the council. , However, a meeting of the property owners wiil Le held this afternoou to get some one to miuke conces- siors to Mr. Pandt, in order that be may be induced to sign the petition. According to Dr. P. Grossman, D. T. Mount and Dr. Tilden the district to be graded includes Sixteenth to Twentieth streets west: on Seventeenth from Dodge to the south side of the” alley between I'arnam and Douglas, a cut of four feet on the east side and three feet on the west side of Seventeenth; on Eighteenth from Dodge to Farnam, a cut of six_and a balf feet on the east and six feet on tho west side; on Nine- teentn from Dodgo to Farnam, a cut of nine t?gw on the east and eight feet on the west side. The elovation of Mr, Pundt’s roraer is 10.7 feet, and it 1s proposed to make it 10.4 feet by the change of grade, which will make tho threo feet cut. A cutof four foet is pro- . posed to be made on the southeast corner owned by John -Harbach; four feoton the Folsom corner and three feet on Dr. Gross- man’s corner, thus making a slope or fall of one foot from the south side to the north side on Douglas street, and a fall of two feet ou Seventeenth from the west to the east side. Mr, Pundt was seen, but declined to have anything to say regurding the proposed change of grade, but Mr. Mount stated that Mr. Pundt felt that his lot has at present all the elevation it will stand. He wants as much cut at the alley as is cut at tho inter- section of Seventeenth and Douglas streets. “If & cut of two foet”” said Mr. Mount, “were made at the alley that would leavo Mr. Punat's elevation one foot raore than it is at present. The petition is signed by a much larger majority than has been any other petition for a chaoge of grade. Tho majority is about 1,200 feet for Douglas, Eighteenth and Nineteeath streets, buton Seventeenth there is an even stand-off and the petition only needs another name.’ Dr. Tiiden explained that another petition had previously been gotten up and signed by all except 0ne Property owney on Eighteenth, This one was signed by Mr. Pundt. It was proposed to make & cut of two feet on tho cast side of Seventeenth and one foot ou the west, on Eigbteentt a cut of four and one- half feet on the east side, on Nineteenth a cut of six and one-half feet. This petition got a majority of feot front signors on all stroets except Eighteenth, and it only lacked one signer. The property owners claim that this last petition will mako @ much better grade and make Douglas @ more desirable thorough- fare than Warnam stree:, as it will be, after the grade is established, a good business street. Mr. Harbach has not, as yet, been asked to sign the petition, although he is o prop- erty owner at the southeast coruer of Seven- teenth and Douglas, Faronam S BURLINGTON, 1., April4, 1891, Dr. J. B.

How the Bad Boy of the Bottoms dates the Neighbors, Frank Kacar, whose place of abode is just oast of tho Motz brewery, is the Holy Terror of the Bottoms and a bad man gonerally. Ho is not quite 17 years old, but according to all accounts his rocord would do credit to tho most matured of toughs. Kacar lives with his father inonoof cluster of houses in that neiehborhood of frequent strifes and bickerings, and ho is emphaticaily cock of tho walk. He has a ro- volver, with which hie delights to perforata the walls and windows, And s neighvors havo been in too wholesome a stato of terror to mako complaint to the police. One ‘of them, an ola Polish lady, Mrs. Slavik, bas speot a larga portion of lier time under the bed to escapa stray bullets. His pet aversion, however, bas boen Joseph Ualud, who appeared in po- lico court vesterday with his faco carsfully bandaged to the rost of his anatomy. The Holy Terror had been clouning his stable and carefully shoveled the refuso upon Calud’s walk. Calud shoveled it back and had his faco smashed with a piece of smolt- ing works slag for bis pains. Then Mr, lud retreated to his bouse and staid there two aays, whilo tho Holy Terror and his ro. volver held the fort outside.
