DETRIMENTAL RATES.
As Between Carloads and Less Than
Carloads.

Topeka Commonwealth
Through the courtesy OF the board
of railroad commissioners, we are
permitted to publish in advance a por-
ton of their forthcoming report, re-
lating TO diflerential rates rs bet cen
carloads and less than carloads.
The subject Is broadly treated by
the board. and in a manner which in
dicatcs that il will do all in IFS power
10 protect the interests of western
people. by the efforts being made by
wholesale men in eastern cities against
The iobbers JIM the west, the battle
promises TO be strong one, but it can
hardly be successful. The board says:
The difference how existing in the
freight rates upon carload lots and
lots less than carloads, is matter
that Is being earnestly discussed and
considered at the present time. IL is
a matter of first-class importance in
the transportation business, and this =.
more than any other element in the
problem, affects the mercantile inter-
csts of the country. The present
classification of manufactures and
mercantile products for purposes of
shipping, covering nearly all articles
of the mercantile class, offered tor
shipment over railroads To which the
railroads in Kansas conform, is of uni
form operation throughout the west
ern states.
Recently much fault has been found
with il by iobbers and wholesale deal
ers la Chicago. Milwaukee and St.
Louis, and the business Interests of
these cities, especially, are co-opcrat-
ing 10 bring about change in the
classification of freight, which would
be more favorable 10 them.
In the classification As il exists to-
day, and the rates of charges based
thereon. very considerable concession
is made 10 straight car load lots. the
difference varying from five TO one
hundre Il per cent, and, in some iu-
stances. exceeding the latter figure.
This dihcrance. il is claimed. is unjust
TO the jobbing interests of the cities
above named. and an earnest effort Is
bciug made 10 reduce the difference or
wholly abolish it, and charge the same
upon straight and mixed car loads.
The purpose is 10 prevent the de-
yclopment and growth of jobbing and
wholesale business west of the
Mississippi river and in the states
northwest of Chicago, east of it. Ii is
to compel all this vast territory TO re-
main tributary TO the cities named.
Instead of building up healthy trade
centers within our own borders, and
ministering TO our own wealth and
importance. ii is sought TO divert the
channels of commerce from our own
doors and pour the great tides of
trade and wealth into the lap of Chi
cago, ST. Louis and Milwaukee. This
can only be done by raising the prices
of iohbing merchandise TO the western
buyer. and this result is sought 10 be
accomplished by raising the freight
rates on certain classes of shipments.
The argument ofthe 81. Louis Job
Der is this: With the present rates OF
freight upon merchandise in car load
lots, We cannot compete with the

The town board met on Saturday
last, and among other important
business transacted, Dir. Stuhl and
Matthew Dinsdale were appointed
health commissioners in conjunction
with the board and William Pollard
was granted license under the new
law, at $3.50 per year
The miners Of this town have
created quite a sensation by cutting
down the price Of hauling zinc ores
from this village TO Edmund. The
price has been one dollar and fifty
cents per ton heretofore, and the
miners thinking this too high an
nounced their intention to pay only
one dollar and twenty-five cents.
Some of the old teamsters have
struck, but new ones are being found
who are willing to haul for the latter
figures.
There is more sickness in Linden
at present than there has been for
some time. A great many children
are sick with measles, while many
grown persons arc suffering from
colds or diseases resulting therefrom.
Mr.. William Williams and family

few years absence at Iron Mountain,
Mich.
Mrs. DIR. Stevens has packed the
contents of her drug store, and after
an auction sale of household furni-
ture, will leave for Laramie City,

Birdseye View OF Dakota.


What do you think of Dakota?
has been asked me so often that ]
will write down my answer.
After having spent five days in
Southern Dakota, / think it is a land
of promise more than of present real
ization 1t is great, broad prairie,
treeless and in the east mountainless.
Ii is neither rough nor flat, wet nor
dry, but with alterations of each that
under the genius of the live people
who have taken possession of it,
will make an empire of downright
ability and wealth never to be sur
passed. Dakota is new, but not in
the backwooks sense of the older
states. In them the forests had To
be cleared away to give man room,
while in Dakota they must be grown
to afford him shelter and TO give va
riety to scenery.
was impressed with the limited
amount of land under cultivation,
and often said, if Dakota has pro-
duced so much, what can it do when
the whole territory is under the plow
was told by many that it requires
three years to sufficiently rot the sod
TO raise corn successfully.
spent one day at Woonsocket--
the liveliest two-year-old town ever
saw. Here Hon. T. ID. Kauouse
sells lumber and coal, etc, and de.
clares that he is perfectly happy.
From the little time | spent in his
elegant home, | thought he was
right when he said he was taking
solid comfort. He is a factor in
every important interest of his town.
| spent four days at Madison,
county seat of Lake county, town
Of about 1900 inhabitants, and seat
Of the Normal school. 1t has a fine
graded school, an excellent court
house, fine Opera House, two
churches, two American newspap ers
of excellent ability and tone, three
banks that claim TO be doing a good
business. They have a Grand Army
Post of over fifty members, presided
over by Hon. X G. McAllister, for
merly Of Avoca, this county, who
with his brother does fine hardware
business. Il. G. has the most beau
tiful dwelling-house | saw in the
territory. | believe that Madison
has three homes enclosed with a
fence and some shade trees growing.
1t has an Odd Fellows lodge mum
bering upwards of 100 members,
who are as fine a looking body of
men as can be found, and when
gathered with their wives, daughters
and sweethearts, as we saw them,
more than 800 strong, on the evening
of April 25th, one could but be
proud of them and say, verify Dako-
Ia is but swarm of the smartest
and handsomest of Americas sons
and daughters.
Dakota is grand place for young
people with energy, "sand" and
sense. An old man seldom is salts
fed when he has left his lifelong
home. | say about Dakota as [ did
to my friends in New York many
years ago: Let the young people
come west, but when people haye
lived in old settled communities,
with their advantages and privileges,
until they are past 40 years old, they
are seldom satisfied in new country.
Then another thing is always true, if
people go to a new country to stay
"if they like it, they are usually
dissatisfied. But if they go to like
a country, they see only its excel
lencies.
Church interests are not a whit
behind other matters in their push
for place and recognition.

April 30, in the town of Linden,
Mrs. Thomas Caygill Mrs. Gaygill
had been sick bnt two or three days,
and nothing serious was anticipated.
But growing a little worse on Thurs
day, Mr.. Caygill thought medical
treatment necessary and went to
Mineral Point for doctor. On the
road home he was met by a messen-
ger with the sad tidings of his wife's
death. She died few hours after
he left the house. She leaves hus-
band and two little girls to mourn
her untimely end. What adds to
the sadness of the case is the fact
that Mr. Caygill and family are en-
tire strangers in this community,
having come from England but three
months ago. They have the sympa-
thy of the entire people Of Linden,
as was shown by the large number
who turned out Friday afternoon to
attend the funeral.
Mr.. Henry Arthur, who has spent
the last few weeks in southern Iowa,
for the benefit OF his health, return
ed on Monday last, and we are hap
py to say very much improved.
DIEp-On Monday night at about
eleven o'clock, Lena Renolds, aged
about twelve years, of typhoid
fever Mr.. Renolds, in company
with his wife and little girl. moved
to Linden from northern Michigan
last fall for the benefit of his heal h.
He was suffering from rheumatism.
Though they had been with us but a
short time, Lena had made friends
of all she came in contact with by
he sweet disposition, even temper
and affable manner This is severe
blow to the parents, Lena being the
only child. All that sympathy can
do to relieve their bereavement, will
be done by their kind neighbors, and
the community at large. :. u.

so imbedded in solid rock that they
regarded the expense Of securing it
as being SO great that it wouldn't

it temporarily and proceeded with
their farm work, the time for which
