Said to be Because OF Cuts That
Were Made.
For some time past, rates on -four and
other mill stuffs have been taken out of ST.
Paul at rates away below tariff, but the
railroad companies have stenuously denied
ever having done so. Last Monday ship
ment was taken out, it is claimed, by one
Of the eastern trunk lines at 1919 cent
rate and as tariff could not be depended
upon any more, meeting was called of the
general freight agents at the Omaha office
yesterday afternoon. There were present:
General Traffic Manager Clarke OF the
Omaha, General Northwestern Freight
Agent Boyden of the Milwaukee 6 st. Paul
and General Freight Agent Hanley of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis. After discussing
the situation it was decided to reduce the
tariff rate on -four from 171a cents to Is
cents per 100 pounds, from st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Minnesota transfer and
Saltwater to Chicago and Milwaukee.
The rates to Burlington, Muscatine, Daven-
port, Rock Island, Moline, Port Byron,
Fulton, Clinton and Lyons, will not be
changed from the present rate of Az cents
per 100 pounds. The milling in transit
business will be reduced from 10 to II cents
l.
and Minnesota transfer to Chicago and Mil
waukee, while to other points the rates will
not be changed. The above rates will apply
to all points on the Milwaukee & st. Paul
road in Wisconsin and Illinois. The rate
ON wheat to be mitted in transit will be II
cents per 100 pounds to all points in Wis
consin except on the Wisconsin valley, on
the northern division; stations on the Coun-
Gil Bluffs division, Chicago to Sabula, in
elusive; all stations on the Mississippi river;
all stations on the Iowa & Minnesota divis-
ion east of Ramsey; all stations on the Can
non Falls branch; all stations on the Du
buque and river divisions and
to Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire.
The rates will apply on the Omaha and
Minneapolis & st. Louis roads to Chicago.
1t was intimated outside that the reduction,
if not made now, would be necessary as
soon as navigation opens on the lakes, on
account of the low rates that will be made
by the boats this season. 1t will be at
tempted by the railway companies to in
duce the vesselmen to make rate from
Duluth to New York equal to the railway
rate from Chicago to New York, which
will be Is cents per 100 pounds, and the
rail rate from ST. Paul to New York will
be 80 cents per 100 pounds.

We are surprised to see the Els
berry AdUanse find fault because SO
cents was charged to hear Sam
Jones lecture at Louisiana. The
TRADE made is almest ridiculous. The
lecture was for the benefit of the
church. Does the Advance think a
preacher can eat, clothe himself,
travel and pay his family's expenses
off of wind? This is rubbish. Pay
yeur preachers better and they will
do better work. They should not be
treated as beggars.

to this paper was printed We learn
that the Equitable Reserve Fund Life
Association of New York is duly au-
thorized by the State of New York,
and pays its obligations promptly and
as fully as any other corporation on
earth. The only question is, whether
1t is necessary upon the part of the

ton for the right to do business in
Missouri when it feels, in fact, it is
not at all in conflict with any existing

Give a man a show.
Scoops are sometimes loaded.
Rev. Smith has rented a house and
will remain in Mexico.
We ann to give the facts. Color
them to suit yourselves.
The report that Smith was SEN
fenced to be hanged is a mistake.
No private ends should ever be
attained to the detriment of church.
We find out there is jealousness in
the church as well as in the business
world.
The other ministers of Mexico ex-
press warm sympathy for the Rev. j.
S. Smith.
The preachers of Mexico should
look a leedle out. Two vacancies in
less than a month.
People who want to take a certain
kind of wind out of the LEDGER sails
are welcome to the same.
Rev. Ledbetter is presiding elder
of this district and takes a father
" interest in the whole matter.
The woman in the case appears
to have been made of straw-at least
as far as Rev. Smith found out.
The NJ. E. Church, South, is one
of the strongest churches in this part
of the state. 1t will not suffer.
We are not acquainted with Rev.
Ledbetter but think he could get a
fine salary by working for the asse-
ciated press telegraph company.
We have heard many people on the
street who are not worthy to loose
the latchets on Smiths shoes con.
denim him to the gallows. Rats!
Officers of the church say that il
they had done what Smith was &C
cused of they would have been simply
reproved; that nothing criminal is
charged at all.
Ledbetter has been reported as
saying much, but we are reliably in
formed that he states that Smith al
the most only broke one of the leas
rules of the church.
The feeling, what there is of it
against Smith Is not so much on &C
count of this "sirkus" but on accoun
of the ultra grounds he has Away
taken in regard to morality and pru
| dence.
Newspapers that are looking TO
: sensations knew of one not a mont
; ago that could have made the Smit
Y matter fade away like a tallow candl
before one of Llewellyn's electri

report of the statement made by Re,

Rev. Smith was not suspende
from the church but from the mini

it out of an upstairs window.
y We have interviewed some of o.
best citizens, both in and out of Il
