GRAB FOR UNION PACIFIC TRADE
Terminus at Missouri River Causes
Hunt for Business.

Lincoln, Neb., July IGNORE trav-
cling freight and passenger agents
work the territory covered by the
Union Pacific in Nebraska than can be
found along the lines of any other sys-
tenn. The reason that agents make
this territory more frequently is found
in the fact that the eastern terminus
of this road is the Missouri river, and
from that point east the business is
sought by many other lines. This APP
plies to the Kansas territory as we'll as
to Nebraska.
East Of Omaha the Northwestern,
Milwaukee, Burlington, Wabash, Illi
nois Central, Rock Island and Great
Western roads compete for the bust
ness originating on the Union Pacific.
Travelling agents for these roads seek
to divert the business to their lines
after it leaves the Union Pacific. Work
ing on the Burlington or the Rock
Island agents for foreign lines run
against the proposition that the
originating road also has an eastern
line.
One argument used by the North
western, Burlington and Rock Island
agents while working Union Pacific
territory is that these roads have a
large mileage in Nebraska, pay great
sum in taxes and therefore should be
given Nebraska business.
In the old days, when rate cutting
and favor granting was the rule. other
arguments were used. 1t was then an
easier matter for some of the for
eign" lines to get business than it is
now, when most of the talking points
have been eliminated.

DENY CAR SHORTAGE REPORT.
Misuse of Cars, Not Enough Equip
ment Will Be Cause.

st. Louis. July 19.-Reports from
various points throughout the country
that the railroads will lack equipment
this year to transport bountiful crops
were denied yesterday by officials of
leading rail lines. If trouble is en-
count cred in handling the immense
business that is expected, it is said it
will be due chiefly to a misuse of cars
rather than a shortage in equipment
There are number of factors which
enter into the situation said Charles
H. Markham, president of the Illinois
Central. IF cars are needlessly tied
up by receivers of freight the railroads,
necessarily, will be embarrassed. If
there is prompt action on the part of
all parties concerned there surely will
be no cause for complaint in regard
to a car shortage. The railroads will
be prepared to do their part. We must
also consider the question of how
rapidly the crops will move If every
producer insists upon getting his prod
ucts to market at the same time the
railroads, necessarily, will be over
loaded with business for a certain
period"

Ny dear Madam do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost

has been so much said against them, so
much controversy concerning them,
am not surprised that some people
have lost confidence in them
I wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another I wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired TO write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents the
truth.

a housewife, like yourself, that she has
something to do besides write letters.

you will enclose stamp so she can an

Boyle is a very estimable lady and no
doubt you will both profit by being
acquainted with each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh I would be very glad
to hear of the result. 1 can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
ter. except by your written consent
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you Will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic catarrh

about that. Some surprising recOveries
