EFFORT 70 STEM THE TIDE.
RAILROADS SEEK TO CHANGE
TREND OF PUBLIC OPINION.
WORK UPON OWN EMPLOYEES
Employees Will be Enlisted in the
Work and Business interests Are to
be Sought-WiI Keep Out of Poll
tics in Future.

Railroads are seeking to change the
trend of public opinion, says Che Lin
coin Journal. They will not enter po-
litiCal contests as railroads, it is said,
but they will seek in many ways to
turn the tide of public sentiment,
which is now strongly against them.
They will begin by working upon
their own employees, who they declare
have been against them for several
years. They will cndeavOr to point
out to the employees that the interests
of the railroads are the interests of
the men who work for them Going
beyond the employees they will point
out to business men and farmers that
what affects the railroads affects gen
eral business; that where the railroads
are put up against conditions that re-
tard development and hold back eX-
pansion of transportation business
the effect is to retard business in
every line. Just what means are
to be employed to reach all the
people in the effort to turn the
tide of public sentiment is not made
plain, but with the employees the labor
unions are to be worked with 1t is
claimed that in most instances en-
ployes will not be difficult to reach.
1t is pointed out that a few years
ago almost every Burlington employee
in the state was ready to do what he
could in a political way for the man.
agement. The men were loyal in
every sense to the institution that
gave them employment. Then the
tide of prosperity set in, work became
more plentiful, the unions on the Bur
ment against corporations dominated
politics was growing, and the men left
the road to fight its own battles.
Now, it is claimed, that the whole
sale discharge of railroad men be-
cause of a lack of business, and the
changing conditions from big traffic
to a more moderate volume, has had
its effect on the men and they are
ready to help the road.
A meeting of union railroad men has
been called for Lincoln and in this
meeting men from all the unions have
been invited. 1t has been said that
MISREPRESENTATION" is the subject to
be discussed and some have taken
this to mean that help for the rail-
roads in a political way may be con-
sidered. The railroad vote in the
state is big one, and the greater
part Of it gets to the poll in every
election where the men are interested
For the railroads it is said that
never again will they seek to domi-
nate political affairs as they have in
the past. What they desire now is a
let-up on what they call pernicious
Legislation. The managers of the
roads are admitting that some of the
laws passed recently have helped the
roads, but they declare at this time,
with business unsteady, that further
attempts at regulation should be post
pOned.

ASSISTS HONES|EADERS
CONGRESSMAN kINkAlD WORK.
ING FOR AMENDMENTS.
FAVORABLE REPORT IN HOUSE
One Gives Credit for improvements on
Original Entry Another Applies to
Reserves-Exemptions From Paying
Appraised Value.

Washington, March 23. - Saturday
Congressman Kinkaid secured a favor
able report from the committee on
public lands on two sections of his bill
to amend the Nebraska one-section
somestead act, known as the "Kinkaid
law" The effect of one section of
the bill is to entitle entrymen to credit
for improvements upon the old home
stead yet owned and occupied, made
subsequent to the date of new entry,
as compliance with the improvement
requirements of the new entry. Until
a year or two ago the department had
held as this amendment expressly pro-
yides, but by a later ruling credits for
such improvements have been disal-
lowed, yet under the old ruling hun
dreds of entrymen, in accordance
Herewith, made their improvements
on their old entry, hence the equity
of the amendment, which will afford
relief to many entrymen.
The other section eXempts from pay
ment of their appraised value lands
of the old Fort Sheridan military res
eryation, located in Sheridan county,
and the old Fort Mcpherson reserva-
ton situated in Lincoln county. Both
of these sections apply to existing un-
perfected as we'll as to new entries.
The section of the bill providing for
reducing the value of Improvement re-
quirements from $125 to 40 cents per
acre, was defeated by a small major
ity, but the Sixth district congress
man expects to resume his efforts for
such an amendment at the next ses-
sion, and advises that entrymen of lin
tied means should not grow uneasy
about being able to pass muster" as
he expects to secure a liberal admin
istration of the Improvement clause
and hopes to reduce the amount to 40
cents per acre.
The exemption of these military
lands from appraised value will save
to entrymen who are just making a
start the payment of many thousands
of dollars for lands which they may
invest in live stock which tend to null
tiply their wealth and increase their
prosperity TO the benefit Of the public
as well as themselves.

INFECTED WITH RABIES
Horrible Fate of Persons Bitten BY
Rabid Brute.

Elizabeth, N. j., Oct. 1O-Mrs. Har-
vey Day, after having been strapped
to her bed for twenty -four hours, is
dead from rabies. Her husband, in ter
ror, sits In an adjoining room, fear
ing every moment that he will be at
tackled by the disease, while in a
neighboring house is Mrs. Samuel
Dolly in state of nervous collapse,
all as the result of having been bitten
by pet bull terrier a month ago.
A letter carrier was also bitten. He,
too, is nervous, now that Mrs. Day
is dead, and the mental effect upon
him is feared.
The dog was being led down the
street by Mrs. Day when he began to
show symptoms of rabies and attack
ed his mistress. Five times he sunk
his teeth in her arm, hurling her to
tho pavement.
Mrs. Dolly saw the attack and ran
to the rescue OF her friend, when the
dog set upon her and bit her several
times on the arms and hands.
The dog then started up the street
and met Mr.. Day, who had heard the
screams of his wife and Mrs. Dolly.
The animal fastened his teeth in Mr..
Days leg, and the letter carrier tried
to free Mr.. Day from the brute when
he, too, was bitten.
