the last few minutes two of the fingers
of my right hand have been shot off and

Because in Germany a man is for

Another Cut in Rates

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Although the Bur
lingtOn is left out of the calculation.
there was energy enough left among
the other warning railroads of the West
to make still further reduction to-day
in Missouri freight rates, all lines put
ting in local rate between Chicago and
the Missouri river of 20 cents, first and
second classes, and II cents on all other
classes. A reduction was also made in
the rates to Des MOines to IS cents first
and second, and cents on all other
classes. There is q general feeling
among the managers that the strike on
the Burlington will prolong the war. as
that line will decline to participate in
any peace conference until its own
troubles are settled.

arose and asked unanimous consent for
the introduction of a measure which

Some one was telling at Chamberlin's
last evening of the famous bout Tom
Ochiltree once had with Jem Mace, the
prize fighter, in the barroom of the St.
Charles hotel, New Orleans, several
years ago. Tom had bet a basket of
wine he could hit Mace, and stepped up,
unaware to the champion, and slapped
him i'll the face. Mace immediately re-
sponded with his left duke on the red
headed rangers right cheek with blow
equal to fOrty-horse-po Wer-trip-ha
mer, which knocked the subsequent
congressional statesman across the room
all in heap, and from which he did not
recover his wind or senses for several
hours.
That is a true story" remarked Rep
TesentatiVe Grain, who was present, and
is Toms successor in congress, ''but
