THE ICEMAN's HoLDUP.

Nebraska City News: Omaha Ice dealers
have only tilted the price Of Ice Is per cent,
but promise TO be good the remainder of
the year. But the hot spell has not yet
begun.
Beatrice Sun; The ice trust Of Omaha
has boosted the price of ice to 30 cents a
hundred. In view of the fact that ice sells
for a lower price in Beatrice. II would
seem that the trust in Omaha is demanding
more than It is entitled to.
sorenson's Examiner: It has taken an in
vestigaton of the price of ice to disclose
that the section surrounding Omaha for a
distance of 100 miles enjoyed such excep-
tional winter resort weather that the resi-
dent therein ought not to grumble at pay
ing Is per cent boost for his refrigeration
Lincoln Journal; Omaha. as reflected by
The Bee, is on the verge OF revolt against
the local ice company. The price delivered
to the family ice box has lately been lifted
from 40 cents a hundred to so, an increase
of Is per cent Omaha Is served by several
ice companies and the assumption is that
the increase is purely arbitrary
Beatrice Express; Omaha people are
forced to pay over 40 per cent more for
their ice than Beatrice people do, and they
get no better quality either The ice COM
panies there have gone into q combination
and recently boosted the price from 40
cents per hundred to so cents. In no other
large town in the state. and in few In this
section OF the country. is the price over
40 cents, and in Beatrice and many other
towns the price is only 80 cents. The
burden comes heaviest, of course, on the
people who can least afford 1.-THE poorer

The Commercial club, through it's
municipal affairs committee, has reso-
luted an appeal to vote an $3.50, 900
mortgage in the shape of more water
bonds. On the court house bonds it is
densely silent. We are called on to vote
bonds from time to time for all sorts
of worthy and unworthy purposes, but
it seems that this wide-awake COM
mittee never peeps about them except
when the Water board bellwether pulls

What has the Commercial club,
through its municipal affairs commit
tee, or whatever committee has the
right to speak, to say about the grand
larceny that is being perpetrated on
our people by the ice magnates in
Omaha when they force US to pay rs
per cent more for ice than is exacted
in Denver, St. Joseph, Kansas City
and Des MoinesH 1t must be because
the water in the ice is frozen that the
Commercial club does not feel called
upon to protest.

Carnegie's Compliments to Gates.

Mr.. Carnegie's admirers are in
debted to John w, Gates for a new
phase of the peace apostles character.
In this new reflection they see that
the Laird of Skibo can do more than
lisp the sweet phrases OF international
arbitration. His aversion for war,
expressed in terms of the millions,
does not quite extend to the limit Of
turning the other cheek in a personal
set-to with an adversary OF Colonel
Gates stamp.
Il don't want to put dirty words in
my mouth" observes Mr.. Carnegie
between strokes on his Scotland High
land golf links, "but this man Gates
is a broken-down gambler. 1 have
nothing to do with him. When l re-
turn l will take the stand and when
I have finished the public may then
judge for itself whether or this man
Gates has told the truth"
Then Mr.. Carnegie proceeded to
deny in somewhat categorical order
various statements Mr.. Gates had
given the senate investigation commit
tee relating to Mr.. Carnegie. 1t is
well enough that the reporter trudged
out to skibo on this mission, for he
brought back Mr.. Carnegies accept
ance Of Mr.. Gates challenge and the
assurance of an interesting exchange
of compliments when the weather
cools. Meanwhile, It is consoling to
know that Mr., Carnegie has not lost
all the grimness of the man of affairs
who managed to hold his own so sue
cessfully in industrial warfare during
a considerable portion of his career.

There are a lot Of wrecked hopes strewn
about the capitol these days. and many a
democratic patriot is nursing his disap-
pointment and vowing revenge With the
advent OF the democratic house, a great
many men came here with the certainty OF
landing fat jobs at the capitol. They have
found how frail are human promises. One
fellow arrived in Washington equipped
with a frock coat and nkNhat, with as
surances OF getting a place as reading
clerk OF the house at 1900. Today he is
sadly conducting an elevator at a stipend
of 500 = month. Perhaps this 500 a month
would have looked very good TO him a
short time ago, but 81. 300 is awfuIly small
compared with $4,000 And especially in
view OF the probability that the democrats
will have only a brief turn at the public
crib
Those who have landed jobs show more
interest in the date of pay day than in the
duties OF their positions. One Tammany
man was sworn in and took charge OF his
place His superior later notified him that
the republican incumbent would be re-
tanned and draw the pay for a week or
two until the new man learned the ropes
