The Nebraska Independent SEPTEMBER 27; 1906. 7 U.P. RUINS GRAIN DEALERS Chicagoan Says He was Bankrupted 1m. in Grain Business in Nebraska by Union Pacific Railroad Chicago James B. Hogarth, secre tary of the Chicago City Railway com pany admits that he is the man Pres ident A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western railroad referred to as "the man who had been driven out of business and made an anarchist, by the Union Pacific's contract with the Peavey Grain company, for elevation allowances at the Missouri river." Mr. Hogarth, who is exceedingly bit ter toward the Union Pacific railroad, says the rebates paid to the Peavey people drove him out of business. He further alleges that when he tried to force a settlement from the railroad he was ' driven out of Nebraska and even now he fears he is not beyond the reach of the railroad's vengeance i Hogarth says he went into the grain business at Cozad, Neb., fourteen years ago, and became financially con nected with E. M. F. Leflang of Lex ington. He was forced put of business by the Peavey Grain company, which, he asserts, received a concession from the Union Pacific. He declares that practically all the small grain merchants west of omana have been driven out of business by the Peavey company, because they found it impossible to compete with the latter, as it could outbid competi tion. Hogarth produces legal documents to show that he entered suit against the railroad company fourteen years ago. He also complained to the inter state commerce commission, but the cases were allowed to slumber. Jklr. Hogarth declares he believes J. !t' Mimroe." traffic' ;manaeer of the Union Pacific, is a large stockholder n the Peavey company, thus account ing for the alleged favoritism. Leflang returned last night to his home at Lexington, Neb. He declared that he was after the Peavey concern and the Union Pacific and that he will not rest until he "gets" them for their alleged conspiracy. $5,000 FLOODS RUIN INDIAN CROPS Country People are tSarving and Raid ing the Remaining Wheat Fields Berlin Disastrous floods are report ed from Behar, India. The indigo crop is ruined, the food crops are destroyed and whole villages have been obliterated. Some fields are under nine feet of water, and the country looks like an open sea for miles. The peasantry are taking refuge on elevated road ways which have, however, been breached by the floods. - Bridges have been swept away by the waters. The starving country peo pie are raiding the few remaining wheat fields which are lying on high ground, although the corn is not yet ripe. ' They are openly defying the rural police, crying: "Send us to gaol. We shall be fed there." Reward will be paid to any person who can find one atom of opium, chloral, . morphine, cocaine, ether or chloroform or their derivatives in any of Dr. Miles' Remedies. This reward is offered be cause certain unscrupulous persons make false statements about these remedies. It is understood that this reward applies only to goods purch ased in the open market, which have not been tampered with. Dr. Miles' remedies cure by their strengthening and invig orating effect upon the nervous system, and not by weakening the nerves. "I consider that there areno better remedies put up than T-r. Miles' Nervine, Anti-Pain Pills, and Nerve and Liver Pills. We have used them for years, and recommend them to many others. My wife is using the Nervine, - and considers it the best medicine in the world. A lady friend of mine, who was almost a total nerv ous wreck, throurh my earnest solici tation has used several bottles of the Nervine with wonderful results." ,WM. CROME, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Miles' Antl-Paln Pills are sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first package will benefit. If It falls, he will return your money. 85 doses, 25 cents. Never sold In bulk. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind WOULD ABOLISH CHILD LABOR American Federation of Labor Will Try to Secure Legislation Washington The executive council of the American Federation of Labor decided to make every effort to se cure the passage of laws more gener ally to abolish child labor. The ap plications of several unions to be sup ported in the presentation of wage scales to their respective employers upon the question of higher wages were approved. At the same time it was impressed upon them that every effort should be made to : prevent strikes if possible. The appointment of more organizers was authorized. ANTICIPATING DEATH OF POPE Church Authorities at Rome Want the Body of Pope Leo XIII Removed From Tomb Rome The arangements for the re moval oi the body of Pope Leo XIII from St. Peter's to the lateran have been upset owing to the fact that the sculptor. Fadolini, will be unable to complete the monument before next March. Cardinal Rampolla, who is arch priest of the cathedral of St. Peter urged the necessity of having the tomb there empty lest the present pope should die. He wishes to hasten the removal of Pope Leo's remains so as to have them paced in the provisional tomb in the lateran within the present year. Cardinal Satolli opposes the plan on the ground that the space is not avail able and that the changing of the burial place would savor of lack of respect. Owing to delicacy in submitting the matter to Pope Pius, lest he should believe that he is not destined to live long, the removal probably will be postponed until next spring. The Lumber Business .
