COMPLAINS OF GRAIY RATES Oozad Grain Company Files Oharges Against the Union Pacific, ALLEGES REBATES HAVE BEEN PAID Neports from Sugnr Faetorfes Coming In—Gold Excitement at Milford St} Continues—Mande at the Capitol LINCOLN, Oct. 7.—(Special)—Mr. J. B. Hogarth, acting for the Cozad Grain com- pany of Cozad, Neb., today filed a complaint with the State Board of Transportation agalnst the receivers of the Union Pacifie, 8. H. H. Clark. Oliver Mink, B. Ellery An- | derson, Frederick R. Coudert and John W. Doane, claiming that the business of the Cozad Graln company s Injured by discrimination in rates and rebates | gravted to the Omaba Elevator com- pany, & rival grain firm located at Lexington, fourteen miles from Cozad, Com- plainant Hogarth says that the Unlon Pacifie company on November 1, 1891, issued a freight tarift, U. P. G. F. 0. No. 460, nam- Ang rates on wheat in car lots between Omaha and Lexington at 12% cents per 100 pounds and to Cozad at 14 cents. On Augus: 2 189 ates were Increased to 1314 cents xington and 20 cents to Cozad. This 18 claimed to be in violation of the Board of Transportation act. The document filed today says ants aver that the distance between and Cozad fs 245 miles, and that the rate of 20 cents per hundred pounds on wheat affords to defendants a revenue of 0163 cents per ton per mile, or 71 per cent more than the average gross frelght earnings per ton per mile of all railway lines in the United States, as snown on page 4 of the interstate commerce commissioners’ report of 1891, or 90 per cent more than the average freight earnings per ton per mile of defendants’ lines, as shown by the report of 1894, on page 489 of Nebraska Board of Transporta- tion’s report.” Service of the above complaint was acknowl- edged by General Solicitor Thurston on the 4th Inst. Accompanying the complaint Is a republication of the details of a case In the Official Railway Guide of Chicago for June, 1895, in which it Is claimed by J. B. Hogarth & Co. of Cozad that rebates were paid to the rival company at Lexington, under the name of F. ¥ Peavey & Co., to the amount of $5,62 Hogarth says he belicves that the Omaha Elevator company and Peavey & Co. are one and the same firm, and that by this rebate and other discriminations his business has been damaged to the amount of $50,000. Daily reports are now received at the office of the sccretary of state from the beet sugar factories at Norfolk and Grand Island, Over 15,000 tons had been purchased by these factories up to the evening of October 1, as follows: October 1, Norfolk, 226 tons; Grand Island, 202 tons; October 2, Norfolk, 22 Zans; ‘Grand Island, 157 tons; October Norfolk, tons; Grand Island, 186 tons. This is sending out among the farmers quite a sum of money each day. It is thought th sum total for the three months of beet sugar marufacture will exceed $100,000 this year. Besides this, farmers are allowed 25 cents a ton for storing the beets instead of delivering them at once. SELECTING A SUPERINTENDENT. The choice of superintendent of the state fish hatcheries has practically narrowed down to two applicants. Today Representative Ed- gar Howard and W. §. Raker came down from Sarpy county and presented the name of R. S. Alford of Reuel, as the choice of that district. The State Fish commission will meet next Wednesday to decide between the gentleman from Sarpy and Mr. J. B. Lininger, Wwho 15 also highly recommended. Governor Holcomb desires it to ba emphatically under- stood that whoever of these two Is selected the choice will be perfectly satisfactory to him. Representative Howard, who speaks for Mr. Alford, was an earnest champlon of the governor's ‘all through the last session of the legislature and his present relations with the chief executive are of the most friendly nature. The populist club of Seward county has filed a strong protest azainst the appoint- ment of Mr. Romine and this action leaves the contest between Messrs. Lininger and Alford. Thomas McKnight, a resident of the Penn- #ylvania Soldiers’ home, at Erie, has written to Adjutant General Barry, asking for a dup- licate certificate of his serv It has been forwarded to him. McKnight enlisted for nine months November 17, 1862, in company K, Second Nebraska cavalry, and was dis- charged at Omaha. He re-enlisted in company C, First Nebraska cavalry, December 7, 18 and was discharged June 1, 1866, at Omaha. ““Complain- | Omaha Ex-Senator Charles F. Manderson was at the state capitol today, and held an inter- view with the members of the State Banking Board, the natura of which they declined to divulge, as they explained that all action on the subject of the senator's visit had been rescinded.

The freight car famine on the northe railroads contimues without much show of relief for the present The Missourl Pacific returned twenty-three cars belonging to the Chi St. Paul, Min- neapolis & Omaha Sunday, bt majority of the cars of the cther roads are showing up very slowly. st year after the crop fallure in Ne a large number of cars wer uth and pressed Into service by the ern lines in handling the products of Kan nd Missourf. Very little of this rollin ock has been returned by these lines. The grain and farm produce of the Da- kotas is beginning to move eastward and the warehouses and cribs along the lines a filled to ovarflowing, awaiting shipment. A car limit among all transmiss pi roads has been fixed at Chicago on the east, St. Louls on the south, Deaver and Salt Lake on the west and Portland on the northwest. Last season this limit was not carried into effect and the result is that there are “‘tramp” cars scattered all over the south and west as far as New Orleans and San Francisco. Tele- grams are beginning to be received by the grain and elevator men along the roads in Nebraska asking for cars, and it is quite probable that the various lines will ba placed at a great disadvantage before the famine is over, Not a River Line Agent. Harry Moores of the Wabash is agent for a number of steamship 1 and Is ad- vertised as such over the state. He recelved a letter yesterday which shows what an appreciation some of the peopls have of the duties of his position. The letter was from a young man at Elm Creek, Neb,, and was as follows: “‘Steamboat office, Omaha—Dear Sir: 1 would like to ask you a few ques- tions. How inuch would a boat cost that would be large enough to take men from Omaha down as far as Cai How long ould it take to row down? Would it be dangerous for a person to art down the river who has no experience in rowing a boat? The letter was writen in evident good faith and Mr. Mocres answered it accordingly He inform:d the ambitious aspirant for navigation honors that he was not in the boat business, but confined himself solely to selling tickets on sea and rail. He ad- ised the man that the trip down the river would be beset with dangers owing to th depredations that were being committed by river pirates all along the route and advised him to go by rail via the Wabash to Cairo, Schednled Another Meeting. The meeting scheduled at Sait Lake to take up the grievances of the Utah jobbers has flashed in the pan again owing to the inability of several eastern trafic managers to be present. It is expected now that another meeting will be callsd for next week. The Union Pacific has agreed to ac- cept throngh freights at Nephi from t Senpete Valley road and to handle the busi- ness properly General Freight Trafic Manager Munroe ot the Union Pacific, who has been fn the west for some time, has gone to Denver on business and will remain in the west for another week In the hope that the managers of the roads interested will be able to get togéther and scttle the Utah muddle before his return to Omaha.

The Richardson Drug company will remain in Omaha and continue to be an Omaha insti- tution. Some months ago negotiations were commenced, contemplating a removal of the business to St. Louis. The field was looked over and it was about decided to change the locaticn. C. F. Weller, the president of the company, who has large property interesta In this city, declared against the change and as a result all negotiations have been de- clared off and the house will remain in this city.
