The cut rates to Louisville is beginning

The Chicago Times, referring to the

willing to maintain rates over the counter
If We wonld allow them to cut as much
as they pleased through outside agents
Every overture for a compromise having
failed, there was but one course open, and
we have takenit. We Thought it better
to settle the matter now than wait until
the heavy winter travel set in. Their re-
fusal TO come to an agreement is very
conclusive evidence that they can not get
along without the brokers, and now we
propose to give them all the amusement
they want, 1t is altogether probable that
the rate will go to so cents, or 81, but it
will result in settlement of the Louis

A HIGH FALL.

Nicholas Postel. boy who has been
engaged at Weyerheuser g. Denkmqnn's
saw mill, was badly hurt on Tuesday dur
ing the dinner hour, by falling from the
platform which extends from the saw mill
to the ground. 1t appears that the boys
generally congregate there before work
commences, and ride down the slanting
platform on two wheel carts used at the
mill. By some means young Postel fell OFF
the platform with the cart, andf fell heavily
on pile of rocks. He was taken to the
cOmpany's Office, and Dr. Craig sum-
moned, who reported him seriously in
iured. and under the impression that one
his ribs had been forced into the left lung.
The injured boy was taken home, where
he now lies in a critical condition.

He pressed the door open and entered the

doorway-one was the sexton who had
