Nebraskans Satisfied.

Most generally the Nebraska men,
bers are quite satisfied with the judy
ment of Speaker Cannon. There are
few little heart-burnings in the dele
cation, but "by and large the delega-
ton has come off the committee
field with honor. Two extremely in
teresting fights were made for major
mmittees-Hinshaw for appropria-
tons and Pollard for agriculture.
Pollard lost out because the president
had a candidate in the person of Will
lam II. Cooke. who comes from the
presidents own district on Long Is
land. Pollard put up a game fight and
would probably have won, but Mr..
Cocks had letter Of recommendation
from the White House on file and
Pollard lost In some particulars Pol
lard is better situated than older mem
bers. He gets accounts and industrial
arts and expositions.

FEDERAL CONTROL
OVER INSURANCE

WASHINGTON-A novel method of
seeking federal control over insurance
is proposed in bill introduced by
Representative Fred Lands of Indiana.
The bill cites that congress has exclu-
sive jurisdiction over the District of
Columbia, the territories and the insu-
lar possession of the United States, in
consequence of which authority is
given the department of commerce
and labor to require full statements
from all insurance companies doing
business within such jurisdiction. He
states that publicity is the one thing
required, and that no insurance COM
pany can afford to quit business in
any of the territory named to avoid
giving the supervision, therefore all
companies will be included.

To RUN GOVERNMENT

issued by the appropriations commit
tees of the senate and house sum-
marizing the estimates for appropria-
tions to be made at the present ses-
sion of congress for the fiscal year
1907. The total for all purposes ag-
gregates 1904 ,296,415. These estimates
are greater than the appropriations
for the current year by $19,170.155.
The war department asks SS63,463 less
than was appropriated last year and
the rivers and harbors item, which
last year amounted to $1S,1S1 1915, is
omitted entirely this year. With these
exceptions. every department of the.
government has asked for more money
than the current appropriation.

man, train dispatcher or telegraph ope-
rator who has worked continuously for

KILLING OF JEWS
FIFTEEN THOUSAND MURDERED
AND 10000 INJURED.
10000 FAMILIES DESTITUTE
Most Terrible Scenes Recorded-An
Eye Witness to the Massacre at
Odessa Details the Awful Butchery

DENVER, Colo.-H. II. Polish OF
this city received a letter from his
brother Eli in Odessa describing the
massacres Of Jews in that CITY, The
letter in part follows:
From October II to October 23 my
family and | were hidden in the dark
ness of our cellar and now thank God
that our lives were even spared.
There happened here the most ter
rible scenes. There ar 10000 families
that saved absolutely nothing but the
clothes which they wore, and are now
huddled together in the open streets.
There were twenty thousand Injured
and fifteen thousand murdered.
Little children were hurled out of win
dows to their death and awful in
juries were inflicted. Women were
pierced with large knives, their stom-
achs and intestines cut open and were
then left to die in the street by thou
sands.
On October II a manifesto came
from st. Petersburg giving us a consti-
tuition. This produced good feeling
and everybody celebrated as on holt
day. People paraded the street with
red flags and sang songs of freedom
and speeches of freedom were made.
But, on the same night, mobs con-
gregated on the outskirts of the city
and started to beat the Jews. On the
following day a crowd of marauders,
with the assistance of the police,
started to march through the streets
with the national flag and the ikons of
the church and the cars portrait. AS
they went they cried: "Bey szidov"
(meaning, beat the Jews.")
AS they sang and yelled they threw
stones at the houses and destroyed
homes in the center of the city. If
any Jews were found in the street
they were horribly tortured and MUIR
dered outright Housese were robbed
one after another and the large stores
and warehouses were pillaged.
In one word it looked like veritable
and awful war Merchandise was car
ried away from stores in great loads.
The doors and windows of homes and
buildings of all kinds were broken in
and we all thought we would be
killed
On account of these deathly scenes
am too weak to give you anything
like a true description. All can tell
you is that we are all sick from the
happenings and our nerves cannot
bear up any longer The same story
we hear from all the small towns
around and the condition of the people
is the same. Their homes and stores
have been destroyed and the people
tortured and murdered"

lNDIcT CHICAGO AND ALTON
Charge Of Ten Counts for Paying Re.
bates.

CHICAGO-The federal grand jury
returned an indictment against the
Chicago e. Alton Railroad company,
John N. Faithorn and f. A. Wann,
formerly vice-president and general
freight agent, respectively of the
railroad company
The railroad company and the two
ex-ofIicers are included in on indict-
ment, in which there are ten counts
against the company, and against each
of the two men. The general charge is
that the railroad company with the
sanction of the two offices paid lille
gal rebates to the packing house firm
of Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, for the
purpose of procuring shipments from
the concern, and also with the same
object, gave free transportation to the
employees of the concern.
The indictment which was returned
Is based on testimony given to the
grand jury by B. s. Cusey, traffic
manager for Schwarzchild & Sulzber-
ger who has appeared before the jury
on two separate occasions. Cusey was
one of four employees of the packing
house firm who were indicted some
time ago for soliciting rebates. All Of
them plead guilty, Cusey, with two
others was fined $500 each, and Sam
uel We'll, one of the vice-presidents of
the company, was fined $4,000 by
Judge Humphrey.
Three specific violations of the law
against the granting of rebates are
mentioned in the indictment. The rail-
road company is charged with having
refunded 81 per car on forty-four cars
of dressed beef shipped from Kansas
City to various eastern points in De-
cember, 1908. A similar rebate is al
legged to have been paid on twenty
three cars of dressed beef shipped
from Kansas City in January, 1904.
