REED ASKS ORDER
AGAINST RAILROADS
Attorney General Seeks to Prevent
Violation of Law Providing for
Sale mileage Books.
OBJECTS TO DISCRIMINATION


LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 17.--(Spe-
cial Telegram. )---Attorney General
Willis e. Reed made application to
the supreme court this morning for
an Injunction against all railroads
doing business in the state to pre-
vent them from violating the statutes
which provides for the purchase of
mileage books Of 1000 miles for $40
each.
He also asked for an injunction
against all roads except the Missouri
Pacific, which he considers insolv-
emit, to prevent them from charging
moEe than 2 cents per mile and also
to prevent discrimination in rates
between towns and to prevent these
roads from instituting injunction
proceedings against the state or its
officials.
Contention of state.
The roads included in the application
are the Rock Island, Missouri Pacific,
Burlington, Union Pacific. Northwestern,
Chicago, Minneapolis e. st. Paul and the
st. Joseph e. Grand Island.
Attorney General Reed says that the
constitution gives the state the right to
regulate common carriers within its
borders and to fix the maximum rates
and delegates to the legislature the right
TO fix the rates. He calls attention to
house roll No. go, passed by the legis-
lRture, which fixes the price OF mileage
books Of 1000 miles at $40 each and to
house roll 267. the 2-cent fare law. which
the railroads have recognized and have
been working under it since 1907.
Violation of Contract.
He calls attention to the test cases
Suffered into by all the roads and the fail
hre of said roads to push the cases,
working under the law until February II,
ae14. 1t calls attention to the action of
the Missouri Pacific road, which, after
selling interchangeable mileage books of
1000 miles for $50 or at the rate OF
cents a mile is now violating the con-
tract made with the purchaser and is
refusing to honor mileage in the books
for more than 1885, miles.
Application for RehearInE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Nebraska
State Railway commission petitioned the
Interstate Commerce commission today
for rehearing of the recent decision grant
ing increased passenger fares to railroads
west of the Mississippi river. The re-
hearing was asked In respect to rates in

braska.
The Nebraska commission does not
agree with the findings on the facts pre-
scented by the railroads and declares the
roads should be required to give figures
shAkmaMS a division into interstate and
Snepkaahte earnings Unless such division
can be made by railroads the Interstate
Commerce commission, the state commits
sion says. will soon be the only ratemak-
ing body In the United States.

Rheumatic Pains He Could Not
Sleep but Master Medicine
Benefited Him Quickly

CHEEKY George Horchler, the genial
soda dispenser is happier now than
he has been for many long day, for
those rheumatic pains that made his
life miserable have vanished. But let
him tell his own story
He says: Il had rheumatism so bad
that sometimes it pretty nearly drove
me crazy 1t seemed as If every joint
in my body ached with a separate and
different kind of an ache.
1T got my goat. My nerves began
to get frazzled and the first thing 1
knew l was losing sleep. i would Just
lie there on my little downy couch and
ache all over. By and by would drop
off asleep but I'd wake up in the
morning feeling like something the
cat brought in.
Now I work in a drug store and 1
can get the real facts about most any
kind of medicine but there didn't
seem TO be anything to fit my case At
least kept right on acting as a DWELL
ing place for old King Rheumatic.
Then friend of mine, he's q real
friend, told me to try Tanlac and l
TOOK him up. 1t sure did chase out
those pains. Just sort of took hold
OF me and knocked them right out.
Iheyre gone and as long as there's a
bottle of Tanlac on my shelf they'lI
stay gone. Now roll in at night and
as soon as 1 hit the pillow I'm gone
and wake up feeling like a two
year-old. sure think Tanlac is great
Tanlac the famous reconstructive
tonic is now being specially intro
duced in Harrisburg at Gorgas, tho
druggist. where the Tanlac man is
daily describing the benefits of this
master medicine to interested crowds.
