The foregoing rates we believe to be
just and reasonable, and so decide.
There are strong reasons, growing out
of wise and just public policy, for the
establishment of distance tariff rates as
low as can reasonably be afforded 1t
tends to encourage and build up manu-
featuring and other business enterprises
within the State. The railroads operat-
ing here derive their chief substance and
support from the productive industries
of the people OF the State. In the build
ing of large number of the railroads of
the State, the people have directly con-
tributed aid in a lavish manner. 1t is
therefore in the highest degree unjust
to maintain through and distance rates
so disproportioned as TO repress the in
dustrial development of a State whose
people have made the railroad systems
within it strong, and throw the great
bulk of industrial wealth into a neigh
boring State.
In our former decision it was stated
that the rates on coal were not to apply
to coal shipped from mines upon the
company's lines, to wit: the Usage
county coal fields, except where the rates
prescribed by the Commissioners were
less than those embraced in the compa-
ny's special coal tariff. Since then some
additional evidence has been supplied
with reference to the necessities of the
coal interests of that locality. Upon
this evidence the Commissioners have
not yet been able to reach definite and
satisfactory conclusion. We see no way
| to adjust this matter except in the same
manner that these interests have been
provided for in the past by the company,
viz: in special coal tariff. The board
are pursuing this inquiry with view of
doing substantial Justice to the company,
as a carrier, the interests of the Usage
mines and the rights Of other coal deal
ers competing in the same market.
We hope to be able in a few days to
announce our conclusions in the matter
to the parties concerned.
The rates prescribed by us are not in
tended to supercede special tariffs Of
rates on live stock, coal, stone, hay, and
emigrant outfits, when such special tariffs
provide rates below those fixed by the
Commissioners The board express the
opinion that all such special tariffs, when
open alike to all where the conditions
and circumstances are similar, are In
conflict with no law of the State, nor In
contravention of just rules of business
which should govern the conduct of rail
road affairs. For the purpose of afford
ing sufficient time to the respondent
company to formulate freight schedules
in accordance with the decision, the
time is extended twenty days from this
J date for the taking effect of the new
rates, unless for good cause shown II
, shall appear that this time is INSULT
cient.

Prof. Holeman of Philadelphia has
made experiments in the effect Of sound
on the colors and shapes of soap bubbles.
Being reflected on screen, they were At
first blueish gray. An information OF
the voice through a tube connected with
a bubble first brought out number OF
black spots on the reflection; and these
were succeeded by bright green ming
led with pink. The same tone always
caused the same formation, but had no
control over the color.

1t is desired that all people so unfortunate
as not to live in Dakota shall understand
that this synopsis by the Canton advocate is

modesty is carried 10 an extreme by Dakota

termination to wear the blue ribbon of excel

What The Harress Shoes.

The Chamberlain Register sums up the re
suits of the season in the lower Missouri re-
giou: tine fall weather has been the finest
ever seen in DaIata, and the corn crop is
being harvested il fine condition. The fall
blowing however, has been greatly retarded
by the extremely dry weather. The later
rains have done something to soften the
soil so that with q good strong team, the
blowing could be resumed, and many fields
are now black and ready for the husband
man in the spring. Wheat has yielded in
central and southern Dakota from twelve to
thirty bushels to the acre the fields being ir-
regular. Ii is claimed by the buyers that
there was some smut in the wheat that les
sens the grade in Chicago, but experienced
farmers insist that they cannot discover it;
the grain men claim that the touch of smut
was so light as to be only detected by the
dark coloring at the lower end Of the kernals.

Teae.sp Fort..,.e Telling.

l have a friend who is quite renowned for
her success as fortune teller through her
skill in shaking and tapping teacup until
the grounds or tea leaves in the bottom of
the teacup assume IN rude way certain
shapes OF forms representing people, ami
mails and various other images which she
processes to understand as referring in some
way to the person whose fortune she happens
to be telling at the time. was present once
when she told the fortune of a young LADY.
The prophecy and the method of making it
seemed to me to be very vague; but the gist
OF it all was that in short time q young
gentleman Of extremely progressing ap-
pearance would arrive, and that be was. in
some unexplained way, 70 exert powerful
influence on the future prospects of the
young lady. Wishing 10 discover what
was in the cup TO warrant such forecast.
l obtained possession of it without
being observed. In the bottom of the cup
saw that the leaves had assumed a form
which with a little aid of the imagina-
ton, might be accepted as resembling q very
spsre, delicate and altogether debilitated
young man. With the aid of q teaspoon.
and using a few other grounds of leaves
that were living on the bottom OF the cup, /
quickly changed the young man into q dis

IInlLo,re,en C,.stonns

The evening of the last day of October is
regularly observed as a time of frolic
among the young people according to the old
tradition which permitted witches and elves
to ride abroad and work their spells on the
eve of All Saints Day. 1t is an ancient
Scottish custom to observe the time and
Burns wrote anent it:
Upon the night when fairies light
On Cassil!is Dounan's dance,
Or DER the braes in splendid blaze
On sprghtly coursers prance
Or for Coleon the rout is taen;
Beneath the moons pale beams;
There up the cove TO stray and rove
Among the rocks and streams,
To spat that night.
Among the bonnie winding banks,
Where Doom rims wimplin' clear.
Where Bruce ance ruled the martial ranks
And shook the Carrick spear,
Some merry, friendly country folks
Together did convene
To burn the nuts and pu' the stocks,
An hold their Halloween
In blithe that night.
Cassilis Dounans is famed in classic story
as the abode Of fairies. The peculiar signifl-
canoe of the time has reference to the love
of the young people who have various spells
by which to ascertain the future. One way
is to boil an egg hard, take out the yolk, fill
with salt, and eat it while going to bed back
wards. The young lady who does this
will most assuredly want drink, and she
may dream her future husband will bring her
one. Or she can pare an apple without
breaking the peel, aud on looking In the glass
backward and repeating her thoughts if she
throw the pairing on the floor it will form the
favored ones initial letter.
Roasting chestuuts in pairs Is a popular
method. II the two slowly brown side by
side it is an omen that the couple for whom
they are named will marry and be happy.
But if one flies fro m the other they will not
be united.
Boys engage in boisterous sports, such as
pulling up cabbages, taking gates off their
hinges, and tearing down signs. Bobbing
for apples is one of the peaceful home amuse-
ments. The apples are put in tub OF water
and each guest "bobs' for one, catching
it in his mouth. and he can have as many
apples as he can secure with his teeth in this
fashion, 1t is provocative of much mirth
and amusement.
THE FEAST TINE OF THE YEAR.
''This is the feast time of the year
When hearts grow warm and home more dear,
When autmn's crimson torch expires
To flash again in winters fires.
And they who tracked October's flight
In charmed circle sit and praise
The gOodly logs triumphant blaze
eve have had slight frost, the first ten
der touch of winters jeweled finger, pre-
monition-no more. How kindly the old
dame moves in the country-how orderly,
How cleverly she lays everything to sleep

NIoKNAnrEs OF GENERALS.
One Woy i,l Which Soldiers Express Thet,
Estimate of Their Leaders.


''Every general of prominence had a nick
name bestowed upon him by his troops, "says
writer in the Cent,try. "Some of these
names were of a sarcastic nature, but usual
ly the indicated the confidence of the men
in their leaders OF their admiration for them.
Gen. Grant was commonly known over the
watch-dres in the army of the Potomac as
"Old United States,'' from the initials of his
name, but sometimes he was called sold
Three Stars" that number indicating his
rank as acknowledgement. Mcclellan was
endeared to his army as Little Mac Meade,
who wore spectacles, was delighted to learn
that the soldiers had named him 'Four-Eyed
a reproach. Burnside, the colonel of the 1st
Rhode Island regiment, rose to the dignity of
'Rhody' when he became general. Hooker
never liked the sobriquet of fighting Joe, ,
though he always lived up to 1t during his
career in the field. Pope was saddled with
the title of 'Saddle-Bag john in memory of
his famous order about headquarters being
on horseback. His men used to say that
their headquarters moved pretty rapidly at
times. Sigel, the German general, was
cock won the brevet of Superb from re-
mark made by Gen. Meade ut Gettysburg,
when the I'd corps repulsed Longstreet's men.
HUMPHREY, being distinguished engineer,
was invariably styled odd Mathematics The
Pennsylvania reserves used to call Crawford

ming of his military career. Logan, with his
long black hair and dark complexion, was
Black Jack' with his men. Sheridan, the
cavalry leader, was Little Phil.' and Sher-
mans troops spoke of him as 'Old Tecum-
seh.' The sterling nature and steadfast pur-
pose OF Thomas earned for him the signif-
cant and familiar name of 'Old Reliable
Alexander Mcdowell McCook like Hooker,
was called ''Fighting' McCoolI' The New
York city regiments in the 5th corps changed
Sykes to 'Syksey.' Halleck was derisively
nicknamed Old Brains,' and Rosecrans had
his name shortened TO 'Rosey.' Lew Wallace
was Louisa to the soldiers under his COM
mand; he was great favorite for his fight
ing qualities, and the soldiers adopted the
inappropriate name for want of a better.
Kearney, who had left an arm i'll Mexico.
was invariably known as 'One-Armed Phil
Butler was styled 'Cockeye,' for obvious rea-
sons. Fitzpatrick was nicknamed kill,
while Custer was called 'Ringiets, on account
Of his long, flowing curls; and so the cata-
iogue might be prolonged indefinitely.
Among the confe6erates familiar nick
names were not so common as with the feder
ais. The soldiers of the army of northern
Virginia usually spoke of Gen. Lee as Bob
Lee Little Malone was best known as

The editor of the Scranton Pioneer does
not claim to be prophet, only logician He
argues in this way: Is it not easy to see that
European prices will prevail in regard to the
price of lands in this country in few years
after our free lands are exhausted To put
the matter in few words, we shall soon see
lands that can now be bought for So and $40
an acre selling for $50, while the best farm
ing lands in the most favored places will be
held at $500 or $500 per acre, and even
more But this will not be the case for years,
say some. 1t may happen in ten years, and
certainly will in twenty. If man desires
to make a safe investment for himself and
for his children, let him buy land. And for
cheap lands, Dakota stands ahead. Not
only are Dakota lands the cheapest, but they
are the best in the world. Let the land seeker
come to Dakota.
