Rather than have an order issued
against it the Missouri Pacific rail-
road began to reinstate its telegraph
service at it's depot at Wabash. The
railway commission permitted the
company to try telephone lines in
stead of telegraph, but the citizens
of the town objected TO the lack OF
privacy in the telephOning of board
of trade and other commercial mes
sages. The commission recently IN
formed the railroad that it must show

Lumber Men FIGHT.

Before the state railway commits
sion, Lincoln lumber dealers attacked
the petition of Omaha lumbermen for
a REIMBURSEMENT of the rates from the
south to points in the state. Formerly
the rates were "a cents for Lincoln
and % cents for Omaha. The former
city complained and new rate for
both points was established by the ir-
teresting commerce commission. This
rate was 261s cents hundred. Omaha
complained and the Lincoln CONNER
cial club interposed demurrer. Lin
coin men claim they are entitled to
lower rates to all towns near Lincoln.
Omaha alleges discrimination and I'M
fair treatment in the making of the
new rate. The Omaha men were re-
auested to file an amended petition
fully setting forth the rates they COM
plain of and cite the determinations
in detail.

TROUBLE IS COMING
EVENTS WHICH THREATEN A
CHANGE OF POLITICS.
fERDINANDFoR INDEPENDENCE
Eastern War Clouds Gather Over
Night and Two Armies Are
Already Mobilizing.

London-Events which threaten to
change the political face of Europe
are crystalizing with lightning ra-
pidity. Almost over night the horizon
of the near east, which seemed grad
ually. to be assuming a peaceful appear
ance, has become crowded with war
clouds.
News has reached here from several
sources that two definite strokes are
impending which cannot fail to bring
matters to crisis, and perhaps force
an immediate war. One is the proc
lamation by Prince Ferdinand of the
independence of Bulgaria, which will
include Roumelia taking for himself
the title of Gear" The other is an
announcement of Austria-Hungary of
the practical annexation of the pro-
vinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina as
appanages of the Austro-Hungarian
crown.
Either action will be equivalent to
the tearing of the treaty of Berlin,
while Prince Ferdinand's course
seems almost certain to precipitate a
war between Bulgaria and Turkey. Be-
fore these possibilities, the quarrel
over the east Roumelian section Of
the orient railway sinks into insight
ficance. Both armies are reported to
be quietly and swiftly mobilizing near
the borders. Bulgaria is said to be
buying up ammunitions and horses on
an extensive scale.
The Bulgarians have faith in their
army, which has reached high state
of efficiency, although it is perhaps
lacking in officers and the war, for
which Bulgaria has long been suspect
ed of preparing, could be fought with
most advantage for it now than when
