LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. eft was
stated at Burlington headquarters that
that road would soon apply the rates
granted on wheat to Chicago to the
potato crop, in the hope Of moving the
heavy crop in Nebraska and Kansas to
the east. 1t was stated that this
change would not make much differ
ence in the rate from Lincoln, but that
1t would be quite an object to potato
growers in the western part of the
state. One thing that will cause the
potato crop to move slowly is the price
at which the crop is held by the grow
ers. While potatoes are selling for
Is cents in many places in Iowa, the
Nebraska farmer is holding his product
at 25 cents. He may get it, but the
railroad people do not believe that he
will.

the Coal Men.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The Record
says: According to present indications,
the central west this winter will ex-
perience a coal famine the like Of
which never before has been known
IN this section of the country. Pros
perity, 1t is said, will be the primary
cause of the famine. Ordinarily at this
season of the year the railroad COM
panles. especially those whose lines
connect the east and the central west,
derive their greatest benefit from the
t~ransporta Ion of coal from the east
crn fields of this section, but under
the present conditions they are unable
TO provide cars for the hauling of the
fuel, owing to the unprecedented hand
ling of other and more profitable COM
moditieS.
Under ordinary conditions the lake
carriers are engaged in carrying coal
from the east to the west and stocking
the great bunkers for the winter sup
ply, but in the summer, which ends
todav, they have had more than thew
could do to haul other things, which
contributed more generally to the ex-
chequers Of the various companies.

SOUTH OMAHA. Sept. 22.-The re-
cent marked advance in the price of

known at this time of the year. Espe-
cially is this true in the lower Mis-
souri, valley, where a short time ago
feeders would not look at new corn at

feeders to Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri

Auditor and GOycrnOr M OntS.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 22.-State
Auditor Cornell began quo warranto
proceedings in the supreme court to
prevent Governor Poynter from acting
as head of the state insurance depart
ment. At present there are two insur-
ance departments, a condition growing
out of the enactment by the last legis-
lature of a law taking the department
out Of the hands of the auditor and
making the governor the head. Audi
tor Cornell contends that the law is
unconstitutional, and has refused to
deliver office documents and furniture.
Attorney General Smyth declines to
appear for the governor, leaning, it is
said, to the auditors side of the case.
