TO APPEAL TO THE COMMISSION Ohjeck to Disturbiig the R St. Louls that Has Been in Bf- fect for Nineteen e from Years. Wholesaie coal dealers of Omaha will file a protest hefore the Interstate Commerce commission through the traffic bureau of the Commercial club agamst the advance in coal rates from East St. Louls to Omaha, amounting to 30 cents per ton over the present rates. | The coal dealers say the contention of the railroads that the advance to Omaha amounts to only 3 cents per ton is true when compared to the rates in effect be- tore the fight of the roads east of St Louls over a year ago, but the proposed advance is exactly 20 cents per ton over the this would not be so bad If it © not for disturbing the rate from St. Louis to Omaha—a rate which has been the maximum rate to Omaha since 139" sald E. B. Carrigan, wholesale coal dealer. “The rate from southern Illinols fields to Kast St. Louis was 67 cents from (he | outer district and 42 cents from the inner district. The rate from St. Louls to Omaha { has been §1.80 for twenty years, except for |one or two years when it was $1.55.

Captain Mostyn says he overheard the man remark to the woman. Thinking no more about the matter at that time, he last saw them going south on Fifleenth street from Dodge. On the grounds that the people about whom the report was made, may be pro- fessional beggars and charity swindlers, or, at least, common street begging va- grants, Captain Mostyn has directed that Jhe matter be looked Into and that quartet be held by any patrolman who sees then until it can be whethers or not the story is genulne.

When the eastern roads got into a fight they reduced these rates from the fields to St. Louls to 25 and 40 cents re- spectively, making the present rates 1o Omaha from the fields $2.05 and $2.20. Now West londs Advance. “Now the western roads, the Burlington, M purl Pacific and 1llinois Central pro- pose to make an advance of 2 cents in the western rate from $180 to $2, which will make the rates $2% and $260, ‘or just 3 cents higher than they were before the castern 10ads cut their rates, but'it means a distinct and absolute advance of 20 cents per ton on the western rate, the rate we do not want disturbed. “If this advance is permitted, we have | no assurance that the eastern roads will {not restore thelr old rates, which would add 17 cents more per ton to the rate from 1ilinofs to Omaha." The coal dealers say they object not only because the roads want to advance an es- tablished tariff rate which has been in effect twenty years, but because the ad- vance is made by the Missouri Pacific and Burlington to Omaha and not to Kansas City. The Missouri Pacific even gives Ne- | braska City the $1.80 rate from St. Louls, | but hands Omaha the 82 rate. The dealers | say the $1.80 rate is sufficigntly high, as it Is tie tariff rate and as everyone knows | hae not always been collected. The protest also because it is proposed to permit In- lfana and Ohfo coal to move to Omaha for $1.80 per ton from St. Louis, but collect the $2 on coal originating in Tllinois.

They ought to have added that to the placards.” So spoke an Omaha business man when he noticed tacked on one of the city's street cleaning carts, engaged in cleaning a portion of a downtown street, a huge placard on which was printed: ‘“Three more years of Mayor Jim." The mayor's picture and the names of other Jimocratic nominees also were placed on the card, and the campaign documents have been tacked to all the city's street cleaning machinery and hung in several windows in offices in the city hall occupled | by Jimocrats. | Mayor Daniman at a meeting of civic or- | ganizations held in the council chamber | of the city hall a week or ten daye ago | told General Manderson, who presided. that he would have the streets clean on election day. This he Is now attempting to do and has instructed his appointee, Boss Flynn, strect commissioner, to put to work as large a force as possible and get the streets clean for the first time in his administration. As the mayor laugh- ingly said: “If the streets are clean when the boys g0 to the polls to vote, they will forget about the other times."” Despite the purchase of three $1.000 flush- ing machines, the street commissioner clings the old hand brooms, because more men may be employed that way and { consequently more votes can be secured | “We have used the new machines only a | few hours on a few days, and, therefore have no idea whatever of the amount of | work they can do,” sald George E.

Macfarland to Judge Bears. “I am glad you have grown up to be more law-abiding,” answered the court, deftly side-stepping the question as to whether he himself ever shied a pebble at a delivery wagon driver or “old clo” man. Macfarland was urging lenlency for Wil- liam Clawson, a youth of 20 years, who during Ak-S8ar-Ben week caromed a plece of brick off the head of Officer William Coffee.
