The INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION to-
day rendered decision in the case of the New
Orleans cotton exchange against the Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas railway company and
Others. The commission holds as follows:
Whether railroad companies combine or act
separately In making rates and charges is not
so important; the essential requirement is that
however made they shall be reasonable of
themselves and so fairly adjusted as to be
reasonable in their relations to each other and
In their results. In conclusion the commits
sion says: ITO be reasonable the rates from
Meridian to New Orleans should not exceed
s1.5O per bale, compressed cotton"

Unless some member of the party is ia
miliar with the haunts of the fish in tie
lake selected, local fisherman is employed
to act as guide. The best places usually lie
from 80 to 100 yards from shore, and where
the depth of the W ter ranges from ten
to twenty feet. The mouths of small cove,
and positions opposite the outlets Of creeks
are good fishing grounds
The holes in the ice are cut in a straight
line parallel with the shore, if the shore is
regular, or across the bays and covGs, if til,
shore is irregular. A long row of holes il
a single lile, or two or three shorter rows
side by side, are cut according 20 the 10
cality, and to the gradual or rapid increase
in depth Of the water. The holes are square
and from ten inches to one foot across. The
distance apart should not be less than fifteen
feet and twenty feet is better One man
can attend to from thirty to forty holes,
less the fish are very numerous and hungry
then he will need helper to bait the
hooks while he takes off the captures.
The bait used are minnows from three to
four inches in length. They are caught b.
the thousands in the fall before the lake.
and streams freeze and kept in tanks in the
cellar until they are wanted for the ic
fishing Some of the more enthusiastic Ash
man have elaborate arrangements fyr
keeping the bait, and have supply on hand
at ali times Of the year. The lines ar.
about fifteen feet in length and eacn one is
wound on a rough reel made of piece OF
cigar box wood. Tne hook is passed. rough
the minnow just forward of the tail, being
careful not to strike the backbone, or it is
fastened in the minnow's mouth. A bunglcr
will main the b lit so they will not swim nat
urally in the water, but aft n few frantic
struggles they become exhausted and dis
without attracting the game. When prop
e. ly put ON the hook the minnow will live a
couple of hours unless be is gobbled up by q
hungry lickerel.
The size OF the fish caught varies from the
small ones weighing three-quarters of
pound each, to those of good size we Ching
three pounds each. Occasionally a big tel-
low five or even six pounds in weight is
captured. The large ones are very likely
to get away either by breaking the hook o.
tearing it out of their jaws, unless the at
tenda t is near By and handles the line
carefully when he takes hold of it. A good
days catch for party is from 80 to 100
pounds Of course they cook a fish dinner
over the campfire, and by shutdown are
ready to start for home.

HIS RULING PASSION.
Dying Man Whose Last Words Were
q bout Horse Trade.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
"When a man once gets in the habit of
trading horses he keeps it up as long as he
lives remarked an old citizen to a re-
porter. II once stood beside the bed of
diving man, who had been dealer in horses
all his life, ana listened to his last words.
What do YOU suppose they were about!"
"Horses. quite likely" ventured the re
porter.
you've guessed it the first time Instead
of turning his thoughts toward heaven,
home, friends, wife or children, eve in the
h ur Of death, he let them dwell on the sub
ject which had over been uppermost in his
mind. The scene was 80 strange that it left
u deep impression on my mind. The old
man had been taken suddenly and violently
i'll. HIS family a physician, clergyman
and other friends were hastily summoned,
but efore they reached his bedside the man
was dying. Every effort was made TO COM
fort the sufferer. bat he appeared very
uneasy and kept asking for John. John, by
the way, was MS oldest son-a chip of the
Old block and a horse trader At this time
he was away from home, having been sent
by bis father to complete negotiations for
the purchase of horse which the old man
particularly fancied.
''As the friends stood auxiously waiting
for the end, which all felt must be near,
John drove up TO Tue mouse ana minute
later entered the room. The clergyman was
talking to the dying man, but the latter
waved him aside, and intimated that he
wishe to speak 10 John. The son ap-
preached the bedside.

father, family.

SHE WAS DEAD IN LEE.
Why Mrs. Sorrich Never Talks of a
Funeral in the Presence of Corpse.

From the washington Star.
One of the best known physicians of Indi-
annapolis, DR.. Culbertson, dropped dead on
the streets Nov. u. The fact that within
three hours his body had been embalmed
and prepared for burial has created some
comment, beginning in a criticism by an
other doctor of such hasty action on &C
count of the danger of installing trance
for death. Singularly. just at this time
Mrs. Sorrich, who lives in jefferson county,
Ohio, a few miles.from Steubenville, is in
Indianapolis on a visit, and her experience
lends point to the doctors remarks.
Fifteen years ago, while still a 15-year-
old school girl, She married He ry Hall.
There was trouble over the marriage begun
by her parents, aud the worry Of this,
together with hard study at school, broke
down her health, causing nervous prostra
ton. Her father at last relented and took
his daughter and her husband home, but
few days later she fell at the door Of the
house in what was at first supposed to be a
faintinC fit. She failed to revive, and
doctor pronounc d her dead. To prove it he
cut into a vein on her arm and showed t. at
no blood flowed. She was thereupon pre-
pared for burial. All the time she was con-
scous of what was going on, but had not
power to move a muscle or make n sign
She could hear the women tiptoeng about
the room. and felt tears drop on her face.
Her associates at Sunday school were chosen
as pall-bearers, and all was ready for the
funeral, which was only deiayed 10 await
the arrival of her twln brother, who was
away at school. Whe he came sno knew
1t; she felt him kiss her ana heaId hlm say;
Sadie Is not dead. she snail not be

He insisted on having his own way, and
was finally hunored, aISho ign nus idea was
regarded only "a, a. the Whin 81 Erlel,
