Proposed Old Charge
Old Rule Bnsing Charge.


The old rule was for basing the minimum
charge OF the actual weight OF the shipment
at tariff rates with a minimum charge of
% cents. The new rule. which has been
cancelled, according TO Chicago advices,
has been based on a minimum weight OF 100
pounds, making IT necessary for an Omaha
wholesaler to pay such rates as asa for a
package Of drugs Weighing twenty pounds
to Sheridan. Wyo, or N,8 on half a dozen
rolls Of wall paper shipped to Cheyenne,

rho Commercial club took the position
AT the new rule inflicted an unwarranted
la,rcase and was inequitable in its appliea-
lion. The fact that the state railway COM
missions of Nebraska, Iowa. Kansas and
Missouri nave firmly refused to adopt the
new rule is a strong index OF western senti-
ment, and besides it has placed competing
markets on a different plane. as locally
within these states the old rule prevails,
while on interstate traffic the new rule is
imposed. This meant that customers OF
the Omaha wholesalers living Just over the
line IN Wyoming and Colorado. as well as
IN Iowa, had TO pay the higher charges.

Savings of from l5 cents to S.15 on small
packages shipped from Omaha and other
Missouri river points will be made by the
cancellation of the new minimum charge

This evidently represents the action Of the
Western Trunk line committee and here

JANE EYRE"

Jane Eyre" the new Rowland and
Clifford play, is strong dramatic com
edy with sweetly sentimental story
told in way that will appeal to every
one, without resorting to impossible sit
uations and exaggerated climaxes. The
comedy sparkles and scintillates
throughout the play, belongs to and is
part of it, and is not dragged in with
out any reason for existence. 1t is well
staged, perfectly performed by strong
evenly balanced cast, who have been
praised without stint by everybody who
has seen the performance. Manager
George Rose of the Nixon Opera House
offers this production to his theatre
patrons on Tuesday evening, December
1st. Seats on sale at Pearce & Cases.

Dinners - Rebekah Ball Social
Event of the Day

Thanksgiving morn dawned cloudy
and cold IN Winnemucca, and remained
cold and rather disagreeable all day.
All that was lacking to make it a tyI'i
cal winter day was the snow.
Nearly all the business places in
town were closed by noon, and the
afternoon was generally observed as
holiday. All dealers in poultry had
sold out their stocks of turkeys, and 1T
is probable that every man, woman and
child in town was supplied with good
ly quantity of the national birI for
dinner.
There were no public services at tho
churches. At the M. f. church the
Thanksgiving service had been held
the previous Sunday, and Father Nee
han, of the Catholic church, was absent
from the city.
