Fighting the Central Pacific.

Chicago, 24.-At the Iowa trunk line
association meeting the commissioner
submitted q dispatch from Fink an
nouncine that eastern trunk lines had
decided to stop al pro-rating GRANGE
ments of California business, and that
hereafter they will charge on such bus
mess their regular proportion between
Chicago or Mississippi River points and
the seabord .akThis important action was
taken by eastern trunk lines because
heretofore Commissioner Fink was per-
mitted TO direct the route for west bound
California business. Senca the extension
of the Southern Pacific to New Orleans
the Central Pacific people have been
diverting al the business they
could to 60 by steamer to
New Orleans, and thence by San
Francisco. Besides this the Central
Pacific for many years past has made
contracts with California shippers, who
pledge themselves to make no shipments
whatever by the Pacific Mail steamship
line, giving them rates about one-third
of the published tariff rates. Thus Q
shipper who would not make exclusive
contracts with tho Central Pacific was
charged about three times IS high rates
as other shippers who did make q con-
tract with that road The trunk lines
have since pro-rsted on contrsctp, thus
sacrificing much of their earnings on
euch business. Hereafter they will charge
their full proportions of the published
tariff ratea. On account Of this action
roads from Chicago and Mississippi
River points west will have TO stop their
pre- rating arrangemehtsswith the Pacific
roads also, as they cannot afford TO ac-
cept prn-rate only on contract rstea, and
then pay eastern roads full proportions
unpublished rates. After discussing the
matter for some time, during which
opinions were freely expressed that the
action of trunk lines Wss just and proper,
and calculated to break mp the discrimi-
nation heretofore practiced by the Cen
trail Pacific, the commission was in
structed to request various Pacific roads
west of the Missouri River TO meet the
Iowa trunk lines in this city next Tues-
day, for the purpose oftaking definite &C.
ton in regard to this matter. It WAS also
decided TO hold meeting next Tuesduy
With representatives ofthe Union Pacific,
Burlington and Missouri River, Sioux
City and Pacific, and Northern Pacific
to agree upon rates for live stock from
Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska, and TO
form a pool on this business if possible.

Republican Convention.

As we predicted they would, the R'pnb-
licans had h. OF (high old timr) in their
nominating convention last Saturday. There
are two clements in the party here, and
when forced to, they show their character
istics. One crowd is made up of such R.

this class belongs DIR. Rigg, Ed Slmple,
Tom. McNell, Alcck Hopkins, John Up
perman, and others of about the same
character. Before the convention met it
was evident the "boys" would nearly have
their own way, and that the genuine pr,hi.

In due time the committees reported, and

Through J. NJ. Bash we learn that light
ming struck Frank SAUNDERS store ut Sun
City Tuesday night and tore out one cor
ner of the building and shattered it in sew
eral other places, exposing the goods to the
severe rain that was pouring down and
causing several hundred dollars damage.
Mr. Saunders was at his house across the
street, and supposing his store was struck
he went over. As he entered the door lie
was surprised to hear many reports as
from discharged weapons, BIT could not
think for moment what il was, until sew
bullets passed uncomfertably close to his
head. Then ne knew the shelf containing
large stock Of ammunition was on fire. He
jumped from the bilding and secured Il
bucket of water and dashed Il into the conf
Unstable material. His escape was mar
row.
This is the second time this year that Mr..
SAUNDERS has suffered from $ rn. Last
April his store was torn to pieces by a cy-
clone, entIiling great loss on him. He
was just r, covering from that when light
ming played havoc with him.
We hope he may escape any more such
experience.
