DinerentiaT Rates East.

The Indiana, Bloomington & Western people
are feeling quite sore at the treatment they are
receiving at the hands of their competitors east
of indianapolis. Under the newly revised pas
senger pooling agreement of the trunk line pool
they We're to be allowed $l50 per ticket rebate
on New York and New England passengers.
The Reeline people have objected, and conse
quently ticket agents at this and other Western
entail rate, and so dissatisfied are they that one
of the passenger officials says unless they are
given these rights in this matter, and without
much further delay the T., B. & W. will cut
loose from all pools and carry passengers at any
rate they choose to make and if the ticket agents
at the Union Depot refuse to sell their tickets
they will place a full line on sale at their outside
Offices, and make it decidedly interesting for
their councillors.

for men, for children, for dogs and horses. The
,-orses that won the famous, chariot race that is
told about in Ben Hur" did better because they
were driven with loose rein and encouraged by
kind words. Therewas doubtless such thing
as reproof and it was sometimes needed, but it
should be spoken in love. Availability
was much to be desired and he
didn't think that man who not already
spoiled, would suffer from praise. The pastor
of a church wanted to know how he was getting
along-whether he was doing ANY good. He
didn't want to throw his words out in the air
every Sunday and have no response. One thing
should be remembered and that was, the church
of Jesus Christ was never in such prosperous
condition as now. The speaker believed that the
church attendance in Indianapolis averaged
larger than any other city of its size in the
United States, and that fact ought to encourage
Christians and make them hopeful. The church
should work for humanity. 1t did not exist for

PROBABLE WAR ON RATES.

A War Between the Trunk Lines Imminent
Unless There Is an Early Change in Affairs.
So much of fzzle was the meeting of trunk
line presidents at Commissioner FinB's Office
last Friday that the most conservative freight
men fear that it means a war on rates. The
meeting was called to take some action regard
ing existing contracts, which, if carried out,
would likely lead to a general Generalization;
but to the surprise of the presidents of the
roads, who are anxious to harmonic matters
and avoid, if possible, q rate war, no contracts
were reported, and the fast-freight line agents
all claimed to have none out So evident is it
that there contracts out that the next

A general officer of one of the leading through

he thought that matters would be allowed to run
along for few days until business improved,

clearinghouse was in working order. Then
there would be,a Strengthening up of matters,

Louis to New York % cents per 100 pounds, OF a
cut of about l6 cents per 100 pounds, and this
line is said to be slaughtering rates at other
points in the same proportion. Possibly the
Pennsylvania and Erie people will look on and
see matters running this way. Should they, it
is certainly going back on their past record.
