KANSAS CITY AFTER IT.
Efforts Being Made to Rob Omaha of
Nebraska Grain Business.

Omaha. Neb., Dec. 24.-Aroused to ac-
ton by the growth of the Omaha grain
market and a notable decrease in the
business of the Kansas City grain mar
ket, the Commercial club of the latter
city has made a proposition to the rail-
roads looking to a rate adjustment
which would take grain to the gulf by
way of Kansas City. The Nebraska
grain is now going south in vast guam
titles by way of Omaha. The Kansas
City people say they are merely de-
manding an equalization of rates and
the transit privilege. A meeting has
been held in Kansas City at which
Secretary Trickett, of the Kansas City
Commercial club met representatives of
the Union Pacific and the Rock Island.
The rates which are now carrying Ne
braska grain through Omaha to the
Gulf are based on Omaha, being the
combination of the local rates into
Omaha added to the proportional rate
to the gulf. What Kansas City asks
is that the rates be adjusted so that if
Omaha is given a rate of IS cents on
Nebraska grain to the gulf, Kansas City
shall be given the same rate. No an
swer has yet been given.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec PA movement
has been begun here to make Lincoln
the grain center of the state with it's
own board of trade and quotations, with
doubled switching facilities and the
probability of several new elevators,
which shall divert grain toward the gulf
by way of Kansas City instead of send
ing il to other markets through Omaha.
meeting of grain men was held and
it was agreed that Lincoln should have
the exchange. Another meeting will be
held in January for the perfection of
plans. From now until that time ar
engagements for extra trackage must be
made and this will be with a view

Galveston. Even with the present
trackage million bushels of grain are
handled yearly in Lincoln. The city
could handle many times that amount,
the grain men say. Buyers come to
Lincoln from long distances in order
that they may make purchases of Ne
brasl1a grain and it is known that an
exchange here would divert immense
quantities of grain toward Kansas City
and the south (which now goes in other
directions

WAYS OF WOMEN.

That the cynical filings at the ways
of women are not always exaGgera-
tions is shown in some Of the frequent
suits for breach of promise in the
courts of the land. In New York re-
Gently one of these women gave as
her reason for bringing the suit that
she wanted the public and her friends
to know that he promised to marry me
and then wouldn't do It."
The remarkable feature OF the suit
alluded to is that the woman comes
from an aristocratio Russian family
and is well connected in New York
City It would be reasonable to sup
pose that any educated and refined
woman would have too much personal
pride to have It known that man had
refused to marry her. 1t would seem
that her ambition would be to keep the
fact secret and to lead the public
and her friends to believe that she ha
changed her mind and had rejected
her suitor To go into courts, TO drag
her love affair before the people and
prove the perhdity of the man just
to show that he promised TO marry
her and hadn't done SO is contrary to
what one expects of the sex.
No man who has been rejected by a
woman Is likely to announce the fact
from the housetops or sue for breach
Of promise or tell his most intimate
friends that she has refused him. He
will say that they have quarreled and
leave It to the imagination OF the ques-
toner whether il was the girl or him
self who withdrew the promise OF mar
riage. No man desires TO play the part
OF the rejected But this girl cheerful
~ acknowledges that she wanted 10
marry man. and that he refused to
consent She files a breach Of prom
ise suit TO let the public and her
friends know the truth about the es
arrangement.
OF course all girls do not parade
their disappointments in love before
the world, but the fact that so many
Of them do is proof conclusive that
the ways Of women cannot be under
stood by man.

CLERK U. s. CENSUS OFFICE
CURED BY PE-RU-NA.
Half the People That Complain of Indigestion Suffer
From Catarrh of the Stomach.
CONGRESSMAN THOMPSON
RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA.

Mr.. Chas. w. Thompson, Member Of
Congress, Fifth Alabama District, writes
from Washington, j. g.;
"Niy cashier has used your Peruna for
indigestion with the most unexampled
and beneficial results, and ! cannot too
highly or earnestly recommend it's gem
eral use. e."--Cnas. w. Thompson.
Indigestion is most always followed
by catarrh Of the stomach.
There is no use Of taking remedies to
palliate indigestion.
There is no use calling it dyspepsia,
and then taking pepsin and other remes
dies to produce artificial digestion.
The only rational procedure is cure
the catarrh of the stomach. The catarrh
once cured indigestion disappears, and
there is no more dyspepsia. Taking ar
tiflcial digestants is simply temporiEing
with the difficulty. In this way valua-
bic time is lost while the catarrh is
fastening itself stronger aad stronger
upon the mucous membrane Of the
stomach.
a very short course of treatment with
Peruna is sufficient 10 cure these cases.
Peruna is recommended by the highest
authorities and the most conspicuous
people in the land.
