BHATItlCE, Neb., Dec. 29.-(Speclal.)-The
Beatrice Commercial club has en
gaged the Fiemont traffic bureau to
present to the Interstate commerce com
mission this clty'B contention for lower
coal rates. The Beatrice club contends
that this city Is discriminated ugalnst
In coal rates us compared with the capital
city. From the Kansas coal fields the
rate to Beatrice Is higher by 5 cents on
steam coal and 10 cents on lump coal
than the Lincoln rate. It Is held that
this Is a discrimination for the reason
that tho'Coal from Lincoln passes through
Beatrice In going to the Kansas fields.
The annual coal consumption of Beatrice
Is about 40,000 tona, and If this city coul-j
Becure the same rates as Lincoln has, the
saving would bo a big one.

uttltude on the part of tho national leg-islutun-,

Vial. iissjntuuce might "Hid to dependence

"It Is estimated," Gem-nil Mclntyro
continues, "that probably one-tlilid of tho
children of school ago urn now being af
forded opportunities to acquire at least
nn elementary education; and while this
leaves 11 vast number still unreached,
many of whom must puss their whole

it is of no less Importance thut progress

"Improved saultury . conditions, new
