FREIGHT BUREAUS.
A Coming Reform Which VIII Benefit Rail-
roads and shippers.

A Coming Reform Which Will Benefit Rail-
roads and Shippers.
The impression prevails in both railway and
business circles that at no distant day at all COM
msrcial centers freight bureaus willb establish
ed similar to the one which has been in operation
for five months at st. Louis. In fact, Louisville
has already made a move in that direction
Thus far, the st. Louis bureaus objective point of
attack have been unjust DETERMINATIONS in rates
affecting that city and various awkward bitches
in transportation facilities which obstructed the
easy movement of merchandise to and from that
city. Very wisely the st. LOuis bureau men
selected as manager of the bureau, S. Fink, VINO
had long been the general freight agent of the
great Iron Mountain railway system. HIS as
aistant is Mr.. j. McEnhis, an old newspaper
EnRn, who is well acquainted with St, Louis
Business people. These gentlemen manage the
barean w~ithoutpny friction between the rail
read companies and shippers, anQ the expense
com pared with the benefit which inures
1herefrOm. Business men of st. Louis
claim that this bureau has passed
beyond its experimental stage and has
BECOME q permanent Institution. 1t was estab
lished for the general purpose of placing st.
Louis upon an equality with other markets re-
8ardtnR the cost of transporting freight between
there and all points where their trade reaches or
this purpose involves a thousand and odd COM
pl1cated adjustments of more or less glazing in
consisteBoies in trade a large per
cent. OF which must be adjusted as they present
themselves. We're such n bureau established at
Indianapolis, in fact at all trade %centers, and
proper men selected TO manage them, both the
shippers and railroad companies weuld be bene-
dted thereby. The interests of the two are mu-
tual, and, as Vice president Mccullough SAYS,

JOSEPH COOK.
His Sensational Experience with an Indian

Monmouth tIll) Special.
Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, had a sensa-
tiOnal experience here last night in the dining
room of the Commercial Hotel with T. NJ. Gill, a
travelling man from indianapolis. Gill sat at
the same table with Cook, and ordered for sup
per a piece of raw meat, when Cook Remarked:
You are a Western man, 1 imagine; do you live
on raw flesh out here2" Gill hared up and re-
piled: 81 eat what - please, and pay for it.
You must be an Eastern dude" Cook repri-
manded him for swearing, and called upon the
clerk to eject him for using profanity in the
presence of ladies. Gill waved his fist in Cooks
face, calling him a - liar, and left the table IN
rage, with his supper untasted, and promised to
see Cook later. Gin swbre he would paralyze
the eminent divine II it cost him 500, and
after Cook retired to his room sent his card up
and demanded satisfaction. Cook said to
the messenger: sin a fair fight / can
knock that man to pieces, but | am not
prepared to be perforated with bullets, as | I'M
derstand he threatens to shoot me, and / de-
mand the protection OF an officer" At his re-
quest Policeman Hughes was sent for and es-
corted Cook TO and from the Opera-hOuse, where
he lectured last night. He was unmOlested by
Gill, who has left town.
A correspondent called upon Mr.. Cook this
morning and received the following statement
from him: "Ihis upsJart conducted himself so

Ihave for rs or 80 years been a sufferer from
Dry letter. 1t developed itself on different por-
tons of my body, extending to my feet and
hands, causing them to itch intOlerably and to
crack. 1t was so painful that l was compelled
to wear India Rubber gloves day and night for
months at a time. After consulting the best
physicians, and using all the remedies which
came to my notice without relief, 1 commenced
the use OF swift's Specific, and am happy 60 say

the c., H. & I. by Sam Stevenson. Several hOurs
were spent in a familiar talk about passenger
matters generally, and the only action worthy
of note taken was the fixing of rates for the com
ing enoampment at two cents per mile for pas
sengers and one cent per mile for military COM
panies, and by common consent one
fare was made the rate for a ronnd- trip
ticket to the coming Louisville Exposition.

some plan, II possible, whereby the Lake Erie g.

their annual inspection at Armory hall
last night. Out of ffty.three members,
forty-four were in the ranks ready for
inspection. Several of the absentees we're
unavoidably out of town, so that nearly
every member of the company in the city
was present. The officers present to
witness the inspection were Col. Glen
denim, of Moline, commander of the 9th
regiment, and Quartermaster Holt, also of
Moline. The inspection was conducted
by Capt. Harry Abel, who performed the
task assigned him in creditable manner.
After the inspection and muster the
company were drilled in the manual, foot
movements, loading, and firing. The
company, which ranks among the very
best in the state, performed the several
evolutions in a manner that would have
excited the envy of regulars. The visiting
officers complimented Capt. Abel very
highly on the efficiency of his company in
drill, and expressed the opinion that
their standing in inspection would be very
good.
