THE DROUGHT
SUFFERERS

Governor Gage could not see his way
clear to sign the bill paying Claus
Spreckels the money he advanced the
State for the benefit of drought suffer
ers, though precedent was established
when the State paid back to Charles
Croker the money he advanced to pay
the expenses of the States prisons The
State, through its Governor, accepted
the money from Claus Spreckels, and it
should pay its debts without regards to
technicalities. Mr.. Spreckels has re-
fused the notes given by farmers for
hay and has ordered their return to the
drawers. He was not selling hay. Claus
Spreckels is a big hearted, broad
gauged man. There are no drawback
strings to his charitable acts. He is a
Californian of whom Californians are
proud.-Paj aronian

Fifty thousand dollars worth OF Omaha's
twenty-y year per cent bonds have been sold
for premium of $4,76S.5O. This is the high
est price ever paid for an Omaha security.
1t is better than was paid for per cent
bonds. The school bonds for $3.50, 900, run
ming twenty years and drawing per cent,
were recently sold at $10S51, and that was
considered a good price. The last sale
brought $l09.53.

Captain w. A. Wright has been ordered
to Alaska and will be assistant adjutant gen
eral and quartermaster, with headquarters

A batch OF orders from the commanding

THEY CUT FREIGHT RATES
All Local Roads Put in New Tariff from
Atlantic Coast Ports,
GULF ROADS MAX: ANOTHER REDUCTION
Rates Arc Cut More Than one-Third,
with More Possible, and
Omaha Jobbcrs Reap
the BENEFIT.

War on freight rates seems TO be on in
earnest, and while local freight men profess
to believe the strife will be short-lived, a
big cut has been made, at least for the time
being. The reduction is entirely for those
shipments which are made part by water
and part by rail- The contending parties
are the lines connecting with the steamers
plying from New York, Philadelphia and
Boston to Norfolk and Newport News and
from the same points to New Orleans and
Galveston In other words 1t is the cas-. e.
ern ports against the southern ports The
rates apply from Atlantic coast cities north
OF Baltimore and Missouri river points, ond
not to intermediate points. The rates from
the coast to the river, all rail- remain un-
changed and there is no indication of any
reduction.
All the roads in Omaha with eastern con-
nectlons have received the new tariff sheet.
It shows a reduction OF about one third
from the rates heretofore prevailing. The
roads connecting with the gulf ports an
nounced that they would maintain the differ
ential to which they assert they are en-
titled, regardless of the rates put in by other
lines, and they have carried that out. Yes
teTday, word was received here that the
Kansas City, Pttsburg e. Gulf had made a
further reduction, going under the new rates
OF the other lines 10 cents on first class, and
1t Is presumed that the Omaha connection of
this road will put the rate into this city.
The following table showing cents per
100 pounds may give a better idea OF the
rate situation. The first column shows the
rates from New York, Philadelphia and
other Atlantic coast points to Omaha as
they existed before the war began. The
second column gives the rates put in by the
eastern lines to meet the competition Of
the gulf lines. The third column gives the
new rate made by the gulf lines to protect
their differentials.

RECEIVERS WOULD BORROW MONEY
Three and n Half Million Needed 10
improve Port Arthur ROME.

ST. LOUIS, June 2i.-Judge Thayer of the
United States circuit court in chambers to-
day heard the application of the receivers
OF the Kansas City, Pittsburg G. Gulf road
for permission to issue $500 900 in re-
ceivers' certificates to cover the cost OF en-
tensive improvements on the road which
they consider necessary. Judge Phillips OF
Kansas City sat with Judge Thayer in the
case. The receivers were represented by
Attorneys ]. Med. Trimble and Frank
Hagerman OF Kansas City. The bondholders
and certain creditors were represented by
Attorneys Gardiner Lathrop and Robert
Morrow of Kansas City Attorney Howard
of New York represented certain eastern
parties who are interested. Attorney Hager-
man read the recommendations OF experts
in support of the claim made by the re-
ceiyers that large amount OF money will
be needed at once to make the necessary
repairs and improvements. Attorneys for
the bondholders and creditors argued that
the largest amount that should be expended
at the present time in this way is 81 900, 600
1t was urged that these Improvements
should be deferred until better idea OF the
needs of the road could be formed from
the reports of independent experts.
Arguments continued during most OF the
day and when concluded the judges took the
matter under adyisement.

Testnrds settle Their Case.

Last summer Seth and Luella Testard,
husband and wife, were exposition visitors
After returning to their home in Missouri
they brought suits against the Kansas City
and the Burlington railroads, the husband
suing for $4,000 and the wife for S. 900
damages. Now these suits have been set
tied in the United States court and dis
missed. In his petition the husband alleges
that he was returning to his home and when
he was few miles out of the city was as
saulted by the conductor and put off the
train, this official contending that the ticket
which Testard had in his possession was
worthless. Mrs. Testard alleged that the
agent at Omaha refused to accept her ticket
and that she was subjected to the jeers and
taunts of crowd at the depot.

Push on 40 sargent.

It is understood the Burlington will begin
building its extension from Arcadia to Sar-
gent at once. The grade was constructed
several years ago, but before the line was
completed the panic came and construction
was discontinued. Arcadia has remained
the terminus OF the branch during these
years. Sargent is twenty miles west and it
is estimated 1t will require a little over a
month to lay the rails and get the extension
in running order. The road goes up the
North Loup valley and will open up a good
section Of country. Sargent Is in the north
east corner OF Custer county and Is sur
rounded by a good stock and agricultural
section. 1t is expected that when this work
is completed the new lines in the western
part of the state will be ready for track
layers

Low Rates Go Into Effect for Many
Important Events.


Tomorrow the low rates to the Pacific
coast occasioned by the meeting of the Ma
tional Educational association at Los An
geles will go into effect. With the opening
day 1t is believed there will be some travel
in that direction attracted by these rates.
No special trains have yet been announced,
but all the regular trains will probably carry
extra cars to accommodate the increased
trafffc. 1t is not believed that the move
ment to the coast will be extraordinary. At
least none of the roads at this time see any
signs Of it. simultaneously with these rates
similar rates go into effect to Portland,
Seattle, Salt Lake City and all Colorado
resorts, and these are expected to be an at
traction to eastern people desiring to take a
summer outing.
The coming week is likely to be lively
one for the railroads. With the low rates
mentioned there are others which will more
directly affect local lines. The usual rate
for Fourth of July business will go into
effect next Saturday, and the rate for the
opening day of the Greater America Expo
sition will have its influence on travel in
this section. The Baptist union convention
at Richmond. Va. and the Christian En-
deavorers at Detroit follow in rapid sue
cession.
