Il
weighing lust q little on his mihu'
otherwise he would not have had sucn
nat dream the other night, Which
he believes is the best solution he VIII
ever get of the matter. The governor
dreamed that he had each of the can
didates select a representative TO can
upon him. Then the names OF al tue
candidates were written on a long
sheet of paper. Each represeh Idt"e
was told to scratch name. Inc lds'
name scratched was to be the OIL IN
spector, as he would be the least oo-
j~ctionable to the entire bunch. Inc
znen did as the governor suggested
and just as the last name was
scratched someone took the sheet anu
the governor woke up without seeing
the name so the matter is still up III
the air. The dream was bona fide.
The executive committee of the Lin
coin Commercial club authorized the
filing of complaint with the interstate
commerce commission against six Ne
braska>railroads, charging discrimina-
ton in freight rates against the city
of Lincoln. Attorneys were employed
to draw up the brief The complaint
is against the Rock Island, Union Pa
cific, Missouri Pacific, Burlington,
Santa Fe, Missouri, Kansas and Tex
as and subsidiary lines. The COM
plaint is based upon the allegation
that the rates from the south on lum-
Der. cement, glass, salt, coal, brick,
rice, sugar, egg case filters and other
commodities are higher to Lincoln
than the rates on the same commOdi-
ties to Omaha, over the same roads,
though the distance to the latter city
is from two to seventy-five miles far
ther.
