PRICES AND FREIGHT
Decline in the One Has Not Been Greater
Than in the Other.
FACTS CONTRADICT BRYAN's ASSERTIONS
Figures show exactly the Reverse OF
His Public Statement 20 BE
True ms Regards Rates
from Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Sept. 1.-(Special)-Nearly a
week ago Mr.. Bryan said in one of his New
York speeches, and repeated the statement
a few days a%fterward. that while the price
OF wheat had steadily declined, grain freight
rates had remained at the old figures. This
statement Of Mr.. Bryan's has excited a great
deal Of comment in Lincoln, and has been
argued with great yehemence by many citi-
zens and free silver orators from abroad.
A representative Of The Bee spoke to Mr..
Samuel Russell of this city. who has been
engaged in the grain business in this To-
cality for over eleven years. He denied Mr..
Bryan's assertion at once, and said that the
reverse was true. At the request OF The
Bee representative, he prepared the follow
ing prevailing schedule of grain rates, COW
ering a period from 1885 up to 1896. They
are the rates from every station on the
Burlington system in the state of Nebraska
to Chicago, on wheat, corn. oats and rye.
Rates on the latter three kinds OF grain
are now the same. These figures are au-
thentic. and will be found to agree exactly
with the books Of the Burlington for the
past eleven years. 1t will be seen that the
decrease is on an average of about so per
cent. These rates can also be verified by
the old residents Of the towns named in the
list. The history of the steady decline of
rates on all other roads in the state is the
same:

Considerable friction was created for a
while by the pension Office to bring the ad-
ministTatt0n Of the act Of June q, 1890,
down to the terms of the act applicable to

by the commissioner that this excitement
vas due largely to a Misrepresentation Of
what was being done and a fear Of action
which was not contemplated. For over a
year past the work OF the bureau has been
moving smoothly and cases are being dis
posed of rapidly.

a distinctive feature of the administra-
ton has been the practice of bringing the
chiefs Of divisions in the secretary's Of
fee directly into contact with the secre-
tary daily so that he might keep in touch
with all the details Of bureau work. He
has made the positions OF az least four Of
these divisions very similar in their char
acter to under-secretaries in the English
cabinet; and he had intended to urge this
fall an Increase Of the salary for these of
tcers with the view of adding to the i'm
p~ortance OF tho positions and giving to the
department Immediately under the secre-
tary four chiefs of divisions who could af-
ford to devote their life work to the re-
spective branches of the department with
which they are connected.
Tho administration of the department has
been marked by the use of thorough business
principles which have not only effectively
brought UP the work, but have prevented
In its many ramifications misconduct by

Travellers Warned Against Pieces of
Worthless dashboard

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The Union Pacific has
issued notice of theft last Sunday of a large
bundle of it's tickets, which were stolen
from a baggage car, where they were placed
in a valise. The tickets read over the

the Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany. Others OF the stolen tickets read
from the Missouri river points, via Jules
burg, to points on the Union Pacific. Denver
Il Gulf.
The tickets have all been bulletined and
of course are worthless for passage, but
the road is fearful that they may DC picked
up by unwary travellers who are prone TO
do business with scalpers.
Transcontinental lines have refused to
make a rate of S25 one way second class
from st. Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth 20
north Pacific coast points. They have also
declined to make a rate of $22.5 so on second
class on continuous passage tickets to Spo-

FORMOSA STILL IN REBELLION.
Japanese Troops Have Much to Do on
the Island.

SEATTLE, Sept. According to advices
received today Formosa remains in a state
Of rebellion against Japan. Japanese forces
are kept constantly on the alert in an en-
dcayor to subdue the rebels. Discussing
this state of affairs the Japanese Daily
Mail urges the immediate suppression of
the uprising and says: There are certain
foreign countries that have long turned
eyes upon Formosa and who are most
anxious to get into possession of it. II, in
view of these repeated disturbances and
failures to administer the island. the world
decides that Japan is not competent to hold
1t, what a bitter disgrace 1t will be to her. -
Continuing the paper says the only way
in which the government can raise funds
for the suppression of disorder and to bring
about peace is Ito take a really bold step,
raising a loan, domestic and foreign, on
security of the island. If Formosa be placed
in pledge there would be no difficulty in
obtaining 100. 900, 900 yen, for foreigners
would be delighted to go into such an in
Yestment."

Court Called Upon To settle the Diff
fcrenCes.


A bright, pretty little 5-year-old girl, whit
has been sheltered at the police station fol
the past few days, is being ccntended for
by two women at the present time. Her
name may be Pearl Prote or it may be Pearl
Bloomi ED. 1t will require the district court
to decide which.
The girl was taken into custody by
Sergeant Her a few days ago upon informa-
ton that was received from it's mother. Mrs.
Prote of Sioux City. She was found in the
possession of Mrs. Bloomfield, who was then
residing at 1922 Capitol avenue.
The mother, Mrs. Prote, alleges that last
March she was very i'll and in such a con
dition that she could not properly care for
the little one. At the request of Mrs.
Bloomfield, she turned the child over to the
latter, who desired the child in order to
relieve her loneliness. Mrs. Prote says that
she stipulated that the child should be re-
turned to her at the end of two weeks. At
the end of the stipulated time, however,
Mrs. Bloomfield could not be found. She
had left Sioux City and had gone without
taking the trouble to leave any trace behind.
She Travelled to a number Of different places
in the country with the child, but the mother
was not able to locate her until she arrived
in this city. Mrs. Bloomfield says that Mrs.
Prote gave the child to her without con-
ditions. She says that it was understood be-
tween them that she was to adopt the child.
In accordance with this agreement she gave
the girl her own name and expected to rear
IT,.
AS soon as the child was taken by the
police Mrs. Bloomfield made a demand for
IL. The police refused to give it up, but
Mrs. Bloomfield to take legal steps
to obtain it in order to have the question OF
settled. In accordance with this
advice Mrs RlDDmfplI a few 1ayS ago be-
gan habeas corpus proceedings.
The application was heard yesterday by
Judge Baker in chambers. He set the case
for hearing on next Saturday morning ana
in the meanwhile ordered the child to be
returned to the care Of Mrs. Bloomfield.
