WILL PUSH THE PROBE
COMING INQUIRIES BY THE IN
TERsTATE COMMISSION.
Complaints Against the Hartman and
Hill Lines to Be Investigated in
New York and Chicago.

Much importance is attached by the in
terstate commerce commission to the hear
ing which will open in New York Friday
into the relations between the Union Pa
cific and the Southern Pacific, under the
management of E. H. Hartman. There
will also be a searching inquiry into the
relations between the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern. supposed to have
been settled in favor of the government by
the decision in the Northern Securities
case. The hearing in New York will be
followed by another in Chicago. for the
same purpose, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. The two special attorneys
who will appear for the road are Frank
p Kellogg and c. A. Severance. Mr.. Har-
riman will be called. as well as his two
Kruttschnitt.
The commission believes that in spite of
the decision in the Northern Securities
case, the railroads are involved in just
the sort of a. combination the decision was
intended to enjoin. Whether the rate law
under the commission will be more power
full to probe and disrupt the combination
than were the courts remains to be seen.
If the contention of the commission is
proved and there is shown to be tacit I'M
derstanding between the roads, the ques-
ton remains whether anything can be
done about it, just as there has been some
skepticism expressed as to whether even
an injunction by the court dissolving the
Standard Oil Company would have any
practical effect on the giant combination.
Among the documents that will be used
by the commission in New York are nu-
merous letters from shippers along the
lines of the Union and Southern Pacific,
complaining of extortion and discrimina-
ton that did not exist before the compile
ton of the alleged merger.
1t may be said lin general way that
there is a great deal of unrest and dissat-
isfaction among western shippers in many
places beyond the Mississippi over what
they decl>Se is the unjust treatment they
suffer from the railroads. In many cases
the extortions are small, amounting to
only a few dollars on shipment. But the
complaint is that 1t is almost an intermin-
able job to get complaint heard by the
commission that is already overturned
with work of one sort and another. The
expense involved to the shipper is often
more than the discrimination complained
of amounts to, and as soon one form of
extortion has been disposed of by the in
terstate commerce commission the rail-
roads find some other way of doing the
same thing.

floor and enclosed on all sides, is ready
for the dancers at the celebration. A
carload Of ice and other supplies will
be loaded tonight and sent to Centen-
NAL tomorrow morning. All the groc.
cries, dry goods, clothing and meat
stores have signed an agreement to
close for the entire day, on account Of
the celebration, and it looks as though
everybody would be at the metropolis
of the Centennial valley to hear the
eagle and the Eagles scream. All the
Eagles and their friends are going out
early and the last train will be known
as the "owl train"

QUEEN sABE COWBOY
FOUND DEAD IN FIELD.

Arthur Watson, a cowboy employed
by the Quien Sabe ranch was found
dead Wednesday, near the head of An,
telope creek, a few miles north OF
Shoshoni. When found, his saddle
was lying close by him and the cinches
were still fastened. How the horse
ever succeeded in getting free from
the saddle without breaking or unfast-
ening the girths is a mystery. Watson
was a noted rider of the county. The
horse was known to be an outlaw, but
the people of the ranch had Snough
confidence in his riding to suspect
nothing when he had been away from
the ranch a few days, supposing that
he was stopping at a neighboring
ranch. The body was found quite by
accident, Jess Yates, the owner Of a
neighboring ranch happening to find it
as he was riding after cattle of his
own.

Deafness cannot 3. Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the e~ustachian tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and whea
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Omaha, Neb., July 2.-Sir Horace
Plunkett Of Ireland is deeply interested
in the welfare Of Omaha and the west
and has shown his faith in both by
making large investments in property
and improving what he owns. A fire.
quent visitor to this country, he has
made many friends who admire both
his enterprise and his devotion to the
betterment of his native land.
Important Post in ireland.
For many years past, under The pre-
miership of Arthur Balfour, Mr.. Plum
kett has held the post Of vice presi-
dent to the department of agriculture
of Ireland. The return of the liberal
party to power last year made Mr..
Plunkett's tenure Of Office precarious.
ITO the victors belong the spoils" is
a political polity as deeply rooted in
Great Britain as in the United States.
His retirement from the office was de.
layed until last May because a success
sor satisfactory to the factions could
not be found.
Room in this Country.
Anticipating his release from official
cares, General Henderson wrote to
Sir Horace, suggesting there was plen-
ty of room for his activities on this
side of the water and expressing the
hope that he might make Omaha his
home.
Replying to General Manderson's let
ter, Sir Horace, under date of May
21, writes:
81 am glad to know that you are
interested in my work and aims. The
machine has interrupted my work and
captured my workshop, but although
the nationalist representatives in par
lament in alliance with the biggest
party majority ever returned at a Brit
ish election, have ousted me, l don't
think they have done any good either
to themselves or their allies.
Public Favors His Ideals.
"They have aroused a strong public
feeling in favor of my ideals, and be-
|lieve my retirement from Office is the
best piece of luck l have ever had.
But time will be required to prove the
truth or falsity Of this view. One
thing 1 can say for certain, I badly
needed a rest.
