Local Man Knocks Some in Cream
Cases

LINCOLN Neb.. August 9.-On the wit
ness stand today in the state railway COM
mission investigation Of cream rates, As
sistant Chief B. D. White of the dairy di
vision of the Agricultural Department at
Washington testified that many misstate-
ments occurred in the annual report of the
former chief of his division. Mr.. White
was sent to the hearing to represent his
chief. Edward Webster
When confronted with a statement of the
report that the cooperative creameries of
Minnesota and Iowa were dying out rap
idly, there being only about one-third the
number of a few years ago, Mr.. White
stated positively that 1t was untrue. He
declared he had himself compiled the sta
tistics on which the report was based, and
no such conclusion could have been drawn.
Mr.. White testified that his department be-
lieved in the local cooperative creameries
and personally he believed that the estab-
lishment of a low express rate on a long
haul has demoralizing effect on local
creameries. Mr.. White Is witness for the
railroads, who are asking for an increase II

SOUTHERN MADE TERMS
COMPROMISE EFFECTED IN THE
ALABAMA SITUATION.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, August 9-After
three days Of conference the state came
to an agreement with the Southern Railway
yesterday az a result Of which the license
OF the company recently Cancelled lie to be
restored, and in return the road will put
Into effect beginning September 1 the two
and-a -half-cent passenger fare and obey
the act fixing freight rates on 10 commodi-
ties.
The agreement was not reached until
concessions had been made by both Sides
but in the main it is victory for the state
The laws In question will not be put into ef-
feet permanently. The agreement declares
that their operation Is subject to judicial
determination as to their constitutionality
and reasonableness. Meanwhile the other
laws enacted by the legislature last winter
affecting railroads will remain under the
Injunction granted by Judge Thomas G.
Jones Of the federal court. The railroads
agreed that they would ask Judge Jones to
modify the restraining orders issued two
months ago, so as to permit Of the lmrnedi-
ate operation of the two acts in question.
The compromise affects only the Southern
railroad. The other systems of the state
were not parties to the conference.
Took Patriotic Grounds.
The final conference was held at the Of
flee of Gov. Conner yesterday afternoon.
oeolUeS Tue SOSSIIlOT tUSSs IdllTOdu HleU
were present: J. s. B. O. Thompson, as
sistant to President Finley. of the Southern;
Alexander P. Humphrey. general counsel at
Louisville, and Andrew Russell, vice presi-
dent Of the NJ. and o.
The railroad people put the case on
patriotic grounds. They said that long
drawn-out litigation would be an annoy
ance and inconvenience to the people and
that the disastrous possibilities of a stop
page OF interstate business was not to be
thought of, as such would result in great
loss to the patrons of the line.
A test case on the law under which the
license was revoked will be made in order
to determine the validity Of the act and to
establish certainty of procedure in the
future. A law similar in every essential
feature to that under which the license Of
the Southern railway was revoked has
been declared illegal by the federal court
Of the fifth circuit Judge Thomas G. Jones
holding that it violates that section Of the
constitution of the state which guarantees
corporations the same right before the
courts as those enjoyed by private citizens
The present law provides that when any
federal court the license of said corpora
ern moved a suit July 30. as result Of
which Secretary of State Julian revoked the
license. It Is now restored and no indict-
nlants will be made or stand for violations
during the time settlement was pending.

Economy should be the watch
word for 1907. BY economy, we do
not mean niggardness, but the cur
tailment of all unnecessary expenses;
the living within ones means, and
the investment of only that money
from which a direct revenue can be
received
In the affairs of the city, every I'M
necessary employee should be cut
off; every money leak stopped; and
only such improvements made as are
absolutely necessary for the city's
good. If we read the signs right, it
will be a close year till next fall and
by economy and fair assessment OF
all property value in the city and
county, the taxes of the people can
be reduced and with a good crop and
prices, the broad smile of prosperity
will come over the faces of our peo-

finale of performance, but in THE
Royal Chef which comes to the
Grand on January 18th, the feature
OF the last act is one to keep them
IN their seats until the last curtain
and which always receives an out
burst of applause, which would do
credit to big number in the show.
The reason for this is the rain OF con-
fetti which descends all over the stage
at the very end of the show. Over
5000 yards of varied colored confetti
or common ribbon paper comes down
from the flies, enveloping chorus and
principals. The girls of the chours
are each supplied with several rolls
of this confetti, and they throw it out
into the audience. The effect is a
very pretty one.

Under the head of announcements
for Assessor in this issue will be
found the name OF Mr.. c. A. Moore,
OF this city. While this is the first
formal announcement OF the fact
that Mr. Moore will be a candidate
for this important office, it was in
tinated for some time by his close
friends, that he would at the proper
time present his claim to the
voters from whom he has already
been assured good support. Mr.
Moore is young man and is we'll
known in this city, where he was
born and raised and for number of
years carried on successful drug
business. Two years ago he sold this
business and has since been repre-
senting wholesale drug house on
the road, and to get back home to
be with his mother and sister, is one
of the causes that has prompted him
to seek the office he aspires to to-
day and feels he has the ability to fill
with credit to himself and his
loyal supporters Mr. Moore is a
gentleman of genial bearing, popular
with all who know him and if elected
will give his best efforts to the dis
charge of the duties of the office.

ABOUT THE PLAY

Last weeks theatregoers were Civ
en- three good attractions, The One
Woman Mr.. Frank Daniels in .Ser-
geant Brue,' and The Isle of Spice.
The One Woman was a strong
production, the cast being made up
of competent artists who enacted
their roles in finished manner. 1t
was Mr.. Ivon Morris Lownes' first
appearance in the part of the West
ern Indian and in his role he was
particularly fine and pleasing.
Sergeant Brue," a musical comedy
i'll three acts, crowded the house.
The comedy has mary tuneful airs,
and the principals and chorus were
pleasing in every respect. Frank
Daniels, as the London police officer,
won added 1aurels to his already
great fame as a comedian.
'The Isle of Spice was even bet
ter than when presented here last
season, though from business
standpoint the attraction did not
pay very well. "The Isle of Spice
while hrst-class ATTRACTION at first,
is not one that lives long or keeps
its popularity.
