Agents Get Together-Com-
merce Body May Balk.
SUBMIT NEW SCHEDULE

Ii the Interstate Commerce conf
mission does not balk on the pro-
posals. Nebraska is to have its freight
rate tangle untwisted al last, Since
the commission overthrow Nebraska
order No. l9 and the freight schedule
contained therein, the rates III Me-
braska have been in state OF per-
picking confusion. q
A conference OF several days dura-
ton has just been concluded in Oma-
ha, however, at which the representa-
tives of the railroads and the traffic
men representing the shippers from
Nebraska jobbing centers, and the
Missouri river cities just outside Ne
braska, came to a tentative agreement
as to the equalization of freight rates.
If the new schedule is not all absolute
equalization, it is at least compro-
mise, and this program will now go
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for approval
Tentative Figures.
At this meeting the railroads sub
mitted tentative figures covering the
proposed rates from Kansas City, St.
Joseph, Omaha. Council Bluffs, Sioux
City, Lincoln and Fremont to points
in Nebraska. These figures represent
a tremendous amount of work on the
part of the railroad rate men to arrive
at basis which would be satisfactory
TO hc'various competing cities on the
one hand, and which would fall within
the terms of the order Of the Inter-
state Commerce commission on the
other hand. sThe adjustment is, on
the whole, satisfactory to all of the
cities concerned. 1t was submitted by
the railroads in a spirit of compromise
and accepted by the communities in
the same spirit. This means. of
course, that each city had to concedc
some of its claims in the interest of
harmony. 1t may be said of the adjust
ment that it is more logical and con-
sistent on the whole than any rates
4 that have ever been in effect i'll Ne
braska. The figures will now be sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
commission for its approval and il
that is obtained new tariffs will be
published without delay putting the
proposed basis into effect The Chi
cago & Northwestern railway took
no part in the setting down of the
new rates, the figures being made by
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
the Union Pacific. Chicago, Rock Is
land & Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
St. Joseph & Grand Island.
The Northwestern officials have not
as yet made their figures for the terri
tory in northern Nebraska. The traf.
hc bureau is in touch with them. how.
ever, and it is anticipated that figures
will be submitted that will put Omaha
shippers on the same basis as Sioux
City to points on the Northwestern
in that territory, Under the ole
adjustment Sioux City was given the
Omaha rates TO points i'll that terri
tory, and all that Omaha asks undel
the new adjustment is that Omah;
shippers be given the Sioux City rates
1t is confidently expected that this
will be done by the Northwestern.

tons of William Denman Of San
Francisco. Bernard N Baker of Balt-
more, James B. White of Kansas
City and Theodore Brent of New Or
leans. as members of the Federal
Shipping board, were confirmed to-
night by the senate. Opposition by
progressive republicans to John A.

Der of the board, held up his con-
frmation.
Opposition to him is based largely
on the fact that he owned and oper-
ated steamships under the British flag

CLAIMED BY DEATH
MR.. w. w. JORDON VICTIM OF
HEMMORRHAGIC FEVER-IN-
TERMENT MONDAY.

Vienna, Oct. 26.-In the death of
Mr. w. w. Jordan which occurred at
his home about eight miles from this
city Sunday afternoon, the county loses
one of its most valuable citizens. Mr..
Jordan had been sick less than week
when the end came. His first syptom
OF the malignant disease which runs
its course with such despatch and so
often to a fatal termination, was a
chill with which he was attacked Mon
day morning, His indomitable energy
asserted itself after this and he went
about his affairs during the day, but
with the passing of another twenty.
four hours there was The next unmis-
taxable development of the fever
which took hold upon him with such
violence as to render his physical re-
sistance and all medical aid useless.
Mr.. Jordan was native of Dooly
having spent his early life, with the
exception of a few years in this city
and county he was a member of the
Methodist church, having connected
himself with that denomination at the
early age of twelve years. His friends
knew him to be kind hearted and char
table, considerate of others even to
the forgetfulness of self An idea of
the truth of this latter was given in
statement from his family physi-
clan who in speaking of him the day
prior to his death, said that he had
shown less concern for his own well
fare than that of others about him on
the place, who had been ill with the
same disease, neglecting himself
while administering unto them.
About twenty years ago Mr. Jor-
dan was married to Miss Susie Woot
en-, of Telfare county, who with their
five children survive him. OF these
are three girls, Marion, Martha, Ruth
and two boys, Fred and John Be

sisters, Misses Mary, Clifford and

to mourn his death.
