Pierce, Neb., March T. The dis
elimination case brought against the
Nye.Schneider-F Fowler Grain company
at Hadar Neb., was decided by Judge
Kelly, before whom the case was tried,
and the defendant company was held
to be guilty of discrimination, as
charged in the complaint, and ordered
to appear and answer at the first day
of the next term of district court in
Pierce county.
Cartwright and Sidner of Fremont,
appearing for the Nye-SchneiderF ow.
Ter company, defended on the theory
that their company could not be held
liable on the complaint, unless it could
be shown that their acts complained
of were done with the criminal intent
to injure or destroy the business OF
their competitor, and claimed that
they raised prices at Hadar higher
than at any other point in the state
purely for the purpose of getting a

f. \. Beeler, who returned yester.
day afternoon from three weeks trip
to the eastern markets, reports that a
great scarcity in eggs prevailed In
New York city during his stay there.
Twenty thousand cases of eggs, how
ever, which arrived from Austria,
brought the price from 60 cents per
dozen down to 40 cents, which price is
being paid for eggs by the consumers
there now. At Washington Mr.. Beeler
visited the Smithsonian institute,
where he looked over a large variety
of bundles which contained skins OF
animals killed by Colonel Roosevelt
in his hunting expedition In Africa.
Leaving New York for Philadelphia
Mr.. Bee.er was on train which was
almost wrecked on account of mis-
hap to some OF the machinery on the
engine. Mr.. Beeler did not stay long
in Philadelphia. He says the street
cars were running, but very few pas
sengers ventured to ride in them. He
says there is healthy boom to make
Roosevelt president again.
