Interstate Commerce subterfugt

CHfoAjo, Dec. lit is said the inter-
state N commission have never
before unearthed as much crookedness as
is revealed by tie present investigation.
1t appears all the roads have been EN-
ploYing scalpers to sell their through
tickets much below the regular rates, thus
permitting the roads to quote higher pro
portionate rates for short distances. The
commissioners decided that this must be
stopped. 1t is said they will render a
decision that the roads which cut rates
through scalpers are guilty of violation Of
the law. Managers of the roads will be
called before the commissioners aud will
have the riot act read to them.

DOn't Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in dan
ger. Consumption always seems, at first,
only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to
impose upon you with some cheap imita-
ton of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, but be
sure you get the genuine. Because he
can make more profit he may tell you he
has something Just as good, or just the
same. Don't be deceived, but insist upon
getting DR.. Kings New Discovery, which
is guaranteed to give relief in all Turoat,
Lung and Chest affections. Trial bottles
free at DR.. W. N. Hunts drug store.

CHICAGO, Dec. Judge Cooley laid
down the law to the managers and general
passenger agents Of the various railways
to-day. About 200 officials assembled. in
the committee room of the Central Traffic
Association to hear what the chairman OF
the interstate m commission bad
to say. The judge numerically scored
those roads that have been guilty of dis.
elimination in passenger rates by dealing
secretly with scalpeIs. He mentioned no
names, but he gave them to understand
that he knew which were the guilty ones
and that he had sufficient evidence in his
possession to convict them of frequent
violations of the law. He told them the
pernlcious practice would have to be
stopped at once or the offenders would be
prosecuted. Mr.. Cooley talked nearly an
hour and at the close of the speech Col.
Morrison made a few remarks on the
same subject. Immediately after the
adjournment of the meeting the general
passenger agents convened and talked over
the situation. The lines between Chicago
and St. Paul and those between Chicago
and Omaha have agreed to give the neces
sary ten days. notice tomorrow of the
restoration Of passenger rates between
those points.
