BENEFIT DANCE WORTHY CAUSE
 ON SATURDAY

Several of the good fellows about town put their heads together yester- day and discussed little question of doing for another what each would appreciate were they unfortunate and placed in the same position.
 The result Is that everyone will be given the pleasure of helping and there will be a splendid big event given Saturday night at the A. E. hall under the style of Benefit Dance" to which every person in Seward is invited.
 From the reports received follow ing an informal discussion of the matter it Is evident that the benefit will receive splendid support. Tickets will be sold by members of several fraternal societies and the volunteer fire department, which are co-operat- ing in the good cause. Practically most every expense of the event will be covered in advance and al; or the proceeds will go for the worthy cause, for which the dance will be given.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
IN FIGHT NOW FOR
Lower FREIGHT RATE

To insure local merchants getting
lower freight rates, the Chamber Of
Commerce has on foot a movement
for the establishment of a traffic bu-
reau. with a fre ght rate expert in
charge of IL. This bureau viii fol-
low the lines established by booster
committees Of western cities
From data secured from the west
ern cities it Is learned that the manu-
facturers and merchants have been
able to correct many determinations
in intra State rates by pressing their
claims for better rates before the
state railroad commission and on
Interstate raos by pressing claims
for readjustment OF rates before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
This State has no intra State rail-
roads, all its railway lines being inter-
State, hence the bureau, If establish'
ed will deal only with the Interstate
rates before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Local manufacturers and dealers
are confident that the creation Of a
traffic bureau by the Chamber of
Commerce will enable them 10 ge.
better freight rates on some commodi-
/ ties than they now enjoy, especially
on goods going TO points beyond the
Mississippi River.
