THE Joyous STORY OF TOTO By Laura Z
Richards. With illustrations by E II
Garrett, Boston. Roberts Brothers. Price
$3.50.
The charm of this story is the delight
ful element of the fantastic that runs
all through the tale, and which is so
happily blended with the reality. The
bind grandmother of Toto lives In a
lonely wood, and TO her entertainment
Toto deyotes himself. He has for
friends a crow, squirrel, a bear and
pigeon. and these he calls in to enliven
the weary hours of the old lady. She
feeds them on sweetmeats and they tell
stories. The author evidently set out
to write book to please little boys and
girls and make themlaugh, aud she has
succeeded most admirably. The volume
is profusely illustrated, and the pictures
are excellent.

proceeded to talk to them, but they refused to
disperse, whereupon he undertook to arrest
one who seemed to be the leader. The strik-
era interfered, and for soms time disorder
reigned. Clubs and edgings were drawn and
used on the officers, who drew revolvers.

THE IOWA POOL.

AN 1RoNcLAD RULING AGAINST OMAHA.
Special Telegram to the BEE.
CHICAGO, Aug IL. Commissioner Faithorn,
of the Western Freight association, has issued
o decision of much Importance to roads inter
| ested In cattle traffic from Nebraska to Chica-
go, and of still greater Importance to the city
| of Omaha, The fact was published some days
| age that Commissioner Faithorn had made a
trip to Omaha to examine into the question
regarding through shipment of live stock
The Union Pacific asked the privilege of
shipping cattle at local rates at points on its
road east of Plum Creek to Omaha and in
evsnt of the stock not finding q
market at thai place reshipping at the
through rates from tho point of origin
to Chicago. From some stations the local
rates to Omaha were higher, and from others
lower than on through rates. TIE Iowa lines
are entitled to so per cent, and the Union
Pacific TO 40 per cent. At recent meeting
the subject was brought up, aud after Eome
discussion the commissioner was requested t.
examine the question and submit report,
embodying his ruling. 1t was sent out veg
terday, and is to the following effect:
=" The Union Pacific i5 not allowed to use
local rates, and all live stock of the class in
dicated must be consigned throughout to Chi
cago, but it will be allowed to stop consign-
ments Mt Omaha, and in event of their sale the
Iowa lines proportion will be deducted
in the business reported to the pool
1t will be allowed to do this because Omaha is
the terminus of the Union Pacific or on its
direct line, The privilege, however is denied
to the Burlington & Missouri, and Sioux City
& Pacific sroads for the reason that in order
to reach Omaha they would divert business
from their through lines whi h cross the river
at Plattsmouth and Blair"
The Union Pacific will hardly be satisfied
with the decision as it restricts the delay
of stock at Omaha to reasonable
time and it cannot avail it
self of the through end local
rate as it might please Co choose. Whether the
Burlington and Northwestern will feel agi-
tated over bting shut out will be developed
later. Omaha derives substantial benefit as
the privilege of stopping gives it chancs to
absorb all that tie market will take and re-
ship the overflow to Chicago. IS is probable
that the subject will come up at another
meeting of the general freight agents of the
association.

In 1874 Sutro, as we'll as Sharon, was a

hotel. "Lle down there and smoke a
cigar, Dag" said the crater of the silver
tongue. 81 want to read you something" "
Ana he pulled out manuscript and read
for an hour. 1t was fearful scorcher,
devoted to Sharon, fire of rldicule,
