Rates on Corn and Oats not In-
cluded i'm the Advance Made by
the RupJi m ptOu

cluded in the Advance Made by
the Burlington.
CHICAGO, April 10. - Considerable
CONSERVATION has been caused in the
ranks of the Burlington's competitors
who advanced their rates March 26, by
the official announcement that the rates
on corn and oats from Iowa, Minnesota
and Nebraska to Chicago were not in
cluded in the advance make by the
Burlington yesterday in accordance
with the agreement, and that the
Burlington would continue to charge
war rates up to and including April Is.
lt Is by no means certain, however, that
the Burlington will advance those rates
the date named, but gives notice to adj
vance simply to be able to do SO in case
matters have been adjusted by that
time between it and its COM
petitors, so as to make the
advance advisable. The reason
given by the Burlington for this action
is that the Switchmen'S strike prevented
shippers from loading cars for Chicago,
and that it feels obliged to protect the
sales OF shippers made ON the reduced
rates. The Rock Island more earnestly
desired the restoration of rates by the
Burlington than rates on any other
articles. The great bulk of the Rock
Islands present business is corn from
Western Iowa. There is little corn on
any other of the Iowa roads and the
Burlington is about the only line which
can get into the Rock Islands corn
belt. The continuance of low rates by
the Burlington will have the effect OF
diverting considerable of the corn
traffic from the Rock Island, and it is
virtually notice to the latter to here
after show more amiable spirit to the
Burlington if it wants TO make any
money on the rates.

The dam at Halbut's mill went out this
afternoon and took the flume with it
and let one corner of the mill down a
few inches, making loss of about
$500. The bridges opposite town on
the turnpike have gone out, cutting off
communication from the north part of
the town, and houses in low places are
surrounded by water. The water at
Zumbro Falls, east of here, is flooding
the town, and is four feet deep in many
houses. Communication by wire or rail
is entirely cut off between here and Wa

DEs MONIES, TO-, April 10.-The Iowa
twenty-second general assembly ended
its career at noon to-day, which. viewed
in the light of its predecessors, has been
neither brief nor brilliant. 1t has been
a radical body, although the canvass of
the senate developed in the latter stage
of the session has saved the state great
deal of mischievous legislation. Had
the house had its way, Iowa business
interests would not have recovered
from the injuries inflicted in ten years.
Measures for the supplying OF railways,
insurance companies and lOanlng and
banking institutions found a ready pas
sage in the lower branch only to meet
defeat in the senate. The railway regu-
lation that finally passed contains many
stringent provisions, which can be tenn
pered with the wisdom of judiciouS
commission, but in its worst phases it is
mild, compared to the maximum tariff
bill and 2 cent fare measure that passed
the house almost without objection only
to die on the senate calendar. The
most radical acts which will become
laws are the two bills relating to the
sale of liquors, which wipe out every
vestige of manufacture, either of malt
or distilled liquors, and make even the
sale by those authorized to sell extreme
ly hazardous. The two final acts of inn
portance were the passage OF stringent
bill against trusts and combinations of
all kinds for the control of prices, and
the defeat of the proposed woman suf-
frage amendment to the constitution.
