CUTS THE RATE TO GET TRADE
Rock Island Lowers Tarin
TO obtain Kansas City
Trade

CHICAGO, April AT the session Of the
Interstate Commerce commission. held In
Chicago today. the trafic managers and the
general freight agents Of the Rock Island,
Santa Fe, Milwaukee & st. Paul, Chicago
& Alton, Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Wa
bash, and Chicago Great Western railroads
were examined as regards their knowledge
Of cutting rates on export traffic from the
Missouri river to the Atlantic seaboard.
Only Commissioner Yeomans, Prouty and
Fifer we're on hand, Chairman Knapp and
Commissioner Clements being absent. Com
missioner Prouty conducted the examina-
ton and brought out the fact that few
Of the roads published their export tar
IFS, and that II they did publish them
they paid little attention TO the published
rates.
Some of the traffic officials took the po-
sition that they were not compelled, under
the law, to publish export tariffs, for the
in conjunction with the ocean rates and the
latter fuctuated from day to day.
Commissioner Prouty, however, thought
that export rates must be published the
same as domestic and each road in turn
was requested to file export tariffs when
ever changes are made hereafter. The ex-
port business, Mr.. Prouty said, amounted 10
fully eighty per cent Of the total seaboard
business and unless export tariffs we're
filed II would not be possible to secure the
maintenance OF any rates to the seaboard.
1t appeared during the investigation that
the Rock Island filed a tariff on packing
house products to be in effect from Febru-
airy Is to March Is from Missouri river
points to New York, OF 42h cents a hun
dred pounds. while the rate filed by the
other roads was 4sh cents and most of the
latter managed to get a full share OF the
business. The commissioners m that
the rates had been cut by these roads.
This. however. was denied by all Of the
witnesses.
Assistant Traffic Manager Goes testified
that the Rock Islands reduction in rate
was made because 1t could not get any
business at Kansas City at the 4ss cents
rate. The testimony of the officials Of the
other roads was that they faithfully main
tanned the Asa cents rate and refused to
take any notice whatever Of the Rock Is
lands action. Each road submitted to the
commission a statement showing export
and domestic shipments and what rates
were made on them from February 10 to
March 10, 1902.

AFTER MANDELBERG CORNER
Trustees of Paxton Block Assert that
Jewellers Lease Has
Expired.

The trustees Of the Boston Ground Rent
trust have filed a bill Of complaint in county
court asking that they be given possession
OF a storeroom on the FIRST floor Of the
Paxton block at 1924 Farnam street and a
triangular room In the basement beneath,
both Of which are now occupied by Abra-
ham Msndelberg. They allege hat the de-
fendant entered into possession and occu-
pancy OF the premises under a written
lease, dated November s, 1901, which lease
was made for the term Of three months
from October l, 1901, and stipulated a rental
Of $500 per month. They assert that the
lease terminated December 81, 1901, but
that the defendant still refuses to give
possession, although served last Friday
with printed notice to vacate at the ex-
~piration Of three days.

The DTegS and After Results
Of Terrible Grippe
Lead 10 Consumption and
Other Fatal Troubles.
Paine's Celery
Compound
Saves a Former Member of the In.
diana Legislature.
This is the Season to Use the
Great Medicine if You Would
Danish the Seeds Of Disease
from the System.

On every hand we see men and women
who at this season should be active. hale
and strong, losing flesh and weight, looking
pale and languid. We hear them complain
OF weakness, pain In the chest, baekache
and sideache. Their friends note with alarm
the pale cheeks and sunken eyes; the color
Of the skin gives evidence OF blood impuri-
ties.
All! reader, these are all indications that
the deadly dregs Of grippe have permeated
the whole system. distributing poisons and
impurities in blood and tissues.
Act at once with wisdom and decision;
you cannot afford to lose precious time
experimenting with medicines that have no
reputation. that have no positive victories
to their credit.
Heaven help you 10 use the life saver that
rescued and saved MIR. Stephenson. While
in a p%erilous condition Of health, Providence
truly directed Mr.. Stephenson to make use
of Palne's Celery Compound. The fret bot
tie produced a marvellous and happy effect;
his life blood was being freshened and en-
riched, his appetite was improved; strength
was taking the place Of weakness; and the
rudy tinge Of health was apparent in the
once pale face. Mr.. d. T. Stephenson, Of
PHO Knob, Ind, writes as follows:
Some years ago while serving as a mem
Der OF the Indiana Legislature, I contracted
a severe case Of grippe, and was run down
and completely out-of-sorts, and found but
little relief from any remedy until l tried
Paine's Celery Compound. The first bottle
did me wonderful and marked good, and Its
continued use for a short time, restored me
to my usual vigor and freshness. Your
Paine's Celery Compound has been used by
my family since then for general prostra-
tion Of the system, with the most crafty
ing results. Paine's Celery Compound is
a great quieter and r~estorer OF the nerves
to their normal condition; indeed, It's action
on the nerves and nerve centres has been
most gratifying in my case"

Try TO stop koutsky Voters

y 'OhNN
Generally speaking order prevailed at the
voting places. There was some little trou-
Bile In the Fourth and Fifth wards along
late in the afternoon when some OF Mayor
Kelly's hired special policemen attempted to
prevent Koutsky men from voting. BY
prompt action the members OF the repub-
liean city central committee put a stop
to the dirty work OF the Kelly-Loechner-
Mitchell gang and with a few exceptions
all republicans who desired to vote were
given ar opportunity.
The vote on the members OF the Board
Of Education was heavier than in years
past, the interest taken being chiefly on
account OF the indictment by the recent
grand jury Of a majority Of the members,
The school board vote was very late in COM
ing in. as so much interest was manifested
Ia the head OF the ticket. II was estimated
early this morning that about one-third
more votes we're cast for the school ticket
than for the city ticket. Many women
voted, in fact, more women cast ballots
yesterday than ever before.
Clerk shrigley was kept fairly busy look
ing after the swearing in OF voters. In
all l2s votes were sworn In.
Owing TO the different methods adopted
by the various election boards In counting
Of the ballots the vote came in very slowly

In the election Of Frank Koutsky to be
mayor OF South Omaha the republicans
gained a most decisive victory. Four tick
cts we're in the field, but the real fight was
between Koutsky and John Henry Loech-
ner, the democratic candidate, the candi-
dacy Of Carley and Sloane being apparently
In the interest Of Loechner. In addition
to the organized democracy, Koutsky had
the open opposition OF the city administra-
tion, headed by Mayor Kelly, who was de-
feated at the primaries early in March.
Kelly and his adherents did what they could
to aid the democrats. The opposition also
imported speakers from Omaha, who sought
to inject state politics into the campaign,
and who tried to give the impression that
some terrible fate would overtake South
Omaha in event of the election of Koutsky.
The campaign was earnestly fought from
first to last by the Koutsky men, who made
a clean, open canvass, relying on the rec
ord made by their candidate while in the
ofhce Of city treasurer as a guaranty Of
his ability and probable course as mayor.
The defeat OF Hector by Howe is another
decided victory for the republicans. Hector
had had the advantage Of long years in Of
fee to build up a following, and 1t was sup
posed that when he was beaten for commits
sioner last fall by O'Keeffe it was the I'M
Outstanding that he was to have a good
position in the South Omaha city govern
ment. His nomination for the position of
treasurer seemed to be made N pursuance
OF some such compact, but the voters de-
clined to place their seal OF approval on

Coroner is Adopted,
HOWARD STREET MARKET PROJECT FAILS
Committee Reports Adversely on
Petition of Retail GrOcers and
Commission Men-Big Grist
Of Routine Business.

At Tuesdays meeting Of the city council
a resolution was adopted, providing in ef-
feet for a new city officer to be known
as fire coroner, whose duty It shall be to
ascertain the cause of fires, estimate the
damage and check up the salvage. The
resolution, which was adopted at the in
stance of the Commercial club, asks that
when the tax levy for the coming fiscal
year shall be made out an item of from
$4,000 to $1,000 be inserted to provide for
the expenses of such an office. A communi-
cation, which accompanied the resolution,
said that an ordinance is in course Of
preparation creating the office, and will
be presented at the next council meeting.
I'VE do not recommend the adoption OF
this resolution simply for the purpose of
creating a new city ONCE" adds the COM
munication, but because it is a business
proposition. According to the present in
surance rules we are charged two points
because of the absence Of such an officer,
so 1t will be seen that the office will more
than pay for itself by working a saving
in insurance rates"
The judiciary committee reported ad-
versely on an ordinance introduced by Coun-
Gilman Zimman, providing for a reduction
Of the license fee on trade slot machines
Of from IS to 81 a year. The reason given
was that any such ordinance would be We
toed by the mayor.
Railroad switch Propositions.
An ordinance was introduced by Mount
granting permission to the Union Pacific
Railroad company to lay a switch track
across Fourteenth street, near the north
line of Marcy street, and west on Marcy
to the east line Of Sixteenth street. An
other ordinance by the same author
granted permission to the same company
to build a spur track along the south side
OF jackson street. from the end Of its
present track at the east side of Ninth
street, west across Ninth street and along
the south side of Jackson street, to the
east line Of Tenth street. 1t was an
! nounced that a committee Of property
owners in this vicinity would protest
against the passage Of the second ordl-
nance. Both we're referred to the com
mittee on railroads and telegraph.
The committee having in charge the mar
ket house matter reported adversely on a
petition signed by several members OF the
| Retail Grocers' association and several
wholesale commission merchants, asking
that a wholesale market be established in
the Eleventh and Howard street district.
THE city has already established a mar
ket house on Capitol avenue between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets" read the
report, and we do not think it fair to
those who have purchased booths fronting
on that site to establish another market. -
The petition was placed on file.
