BOYS GET FATHERS MONEY

Tom Tsalvals OF 606 South Sixteenth
street had a bad fright Saturday morning
when he awoke and discovered someone had
taken $40 from beneath his pillow during
the night He knew he had placed the
money there on retiring Friday evening
and grief was his when the money could
not be located Saturday morning.
The first thing he did when he could not
find the roll was TO call at police head
quarters and report the loss. Some bold
thief, he believed, had invaded his apart
ments in the silent watches OF the night,
or, as another poet said. 1.-THE dark tresses
Of night" and taken the savings OF himself
and two sons. The loss was duly registered
at the police station and detectives about to
be placed on the case when the old mans
two sons called at the police station and
cleared up the apparent mystery.
It appears the father and sons have been
saving for long time with a view OF
opening a small store and thus earn an In
dependent competency. In some way, the
sons declare, they got wind Of the fact that
their father intended to go out Saturday
evening and have good time" so they
Just took the male bovine by the horns as
It were, and banked the $40 for safe keep

And now the father Is glad. the sons sat

Two GRAIN FIRMS FAVORED
Railroads Said to Have Played Into Hands
Of Chicago Buyers.
MANIPULATION OF THE ELEVATOR CHARGE
Cut in Rates Puts All on Even Foot
ing Again and May Result In
some Additional Grain COM
ing 20 Omaha.

Discussion Of the recent cut in grain
rates from the Missouri river to Chicago
brings 70 light the fact that there has re-
Gently been a discrimination by the rail-
roads IN favor OF two Chicago houses
whereby they were able to get all the
grain shipped from Omaha. According to q
local dealer who was compelled either to
ship to these firms Harris, Scotch & Co.
and Rosenbaum & Co.. they were allowed
elevator charges of or cents, while other
companies were given cent or two less.
This was not noticed until about two
weeks ago. Then the two firms began to
hid above their competitors and get all the
grain. Other firms declared that they
could not think OF paying the price offered
by Harris. Scotch & Co. and Rosenbaum &
Co. Omaha dealers naturally went where
they could get the best price and most OF
the grain which has been sold to Chicago in
the last two weeks has gone to these firms.
Since the cut in rates which means that
the railroads have eliminated altogether the
payment Of elevator charges to grain COM
panies, all the Chicago firms have been
bidding alike. A local dealer remarked
that 1t was owing to the kicks Of the
Omaha trade on this condition Of affairs
that the rate reduction was brought about.
Holding for Lower Rates.
Some Of the dealers are holding their
wheat in the expectation that rates will go
lower. The Northwestern has not yet an
nounced that 1t will meet the cut Of the
other roads and the grain men are hoping
that the road will still further reduce the
rate when It does make a cut. Ono firm
has 100 cars which II is ready to ship as
soon as the rate question is definitely set
tied.
1t is the general opinion in Omaha that
the reduction in rates will benefit the far
mer about 4 cent a bushel, the extent of
the difference between the recent cut and
the elevator charges formerly Flowed by
the railroads. The new condition will not
detract any grain from Kansas City, how
ever, for the same charge is made from
that city as from Omaha.
What It will do is to get grain for Omaha
which might otherwise go TO Minneapolis.
The rate was cut from Omaha TO Mime
apolis the cut proportional to that on grain
from Omaha to Chicago. But II was left
the same to Minneapolis from points inter
mediate between that city and Omaha. 1t
was also left the same from Minneapolis to
Chicago Since Omaha dealers can offer
the farmers in intermediate territory Il
cent more for grain than Minneapolis deal
ers, much grain will come here which
otherwise would have gone north. BY rea-
son of this advantage the Omaha Elevator
company has bought in the last ten days
several cars of grain from persons who
have always shipped to Minneapolis.
It is expected that the Minneapolis grain
men will raise a howl of protest at once
and see what they can do to get some other
adjustment of rates.
