LETTER FROM BRO. PARKER.

May 80, 1888.
Col. PoLK.-Dear Sw:-I have
been looking for some answer to my
questions, but have seen none. Ihave
part answer to me It looks rather
large, still I haven't near all Of it. [
find paid to the penitentiary, for the
year of 1887, $500, 900; for conveying
convicts, SO ,S94.50; for fugitives
from justice, $l,4S9.82; total, $ll2,-
384.37. Probably a portion of the
latter item may not belong directly to
the penitentiary, but if we take in the
advertising and rewards it will foot up
more than that amount, and [ don't
know whether the conveyance account
means to get them to the penitentiary,
or the squads that have been sent off
to other places, or both.
Now this $1l2,384.37 don't touch
the court costs, and if that counts like
a neighbours of mine for killing a
depredating dog-over $3.50, don't
recollect exactly-and another for
killing a depredating hen-$275, (not
exactly a neighbor, but citizen and
acquaintance then you see it grows to
be a sum Of some magnitude, and
might receive some attention from
those who have charge of such mat
tiers. But it seems as if our officials
have concluded that they are in some
way allied to the royalty Of the mother
country and must exhibit or substan-
tiate the fact by lavish expenditures.
Now please do try to give us farm
ers some light OF these things. l
think we need information.
By the way, how about that dog
and hen case? The owners, as l
understand, were courteous informed
and requested to keep them away, and
received the Won't do it; II
you want them away, keep them away
yourself" Now are we as citizens OF

in Its Cut on Rates.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The executive
committee of the Chicago Freight bureau
passed resolutions to-day commencing
the action of the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern and the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy roads in reducing rates to
Northwestern points, and thus doing
all in their power to remove the unjust
discrimination against Chicago that was
complained of by the associated ship
pers. This virtually means that the
shippers will support the Burlington in
the position it has taken, and will give
that road their business. The other
Northwestern lines are in a quandary.
Their effort to get the Burlington boy
cotted by Chicago shippers has acted as
a boomerang, and they now find them
selves between two fires. If they meet
the Burlington d Northern's rates, they
will have to readjust their Iowa tariffs
on lower scale. If they refuse to
meet them their attitude will
be construed as antagonistic to the Chi
cago jObbing trade. 1t is understood
that meeting of the associated lines
will be called at once to consider the
HldtleI. Inc LlNeSlOck weighing as
sociation met to-day to consider the
question of establishing rates per 100
pounds ON live stock. After some dis
cusSion the matter was referred to the
freight agents of the interested roads,
who were constituted a committee to
meet June and prepare tariffs by the
100 pounds, minimum weights to be ap-
piled according to the different lengths
of cars on basis of the present tariffs
by the carload and the weights shown
by Supt. Carman's weighing from Dec.
20, 1887, to date. Chairmen Midgely
and Faithorn and Supt. Carman were
also made members of the freight
agents committee.

the Western fever and moved to Cleve-
land, o. Two years later. Mr.. Bibbins'
health failing, they moved into the
woods in Crawford county, clearing up
small farm and enduring all the hard
ships of pioneers life. The second
year they were visited by a drouth
which stopped all the mills and for
eight weeks they lived upon mush,
pumpkins and milk. The meal they
obtained by using a common crater
upon which they grated their corn.
Two years later they moved to Lock-

they remained until 1856 when they
came to Chatfield, Mimi. They raised

THE BURLINGTON CUT.
Reasons Given for It-WiIi tn,
Other Roads Meet 1t?


Other Roads Meet 1t?
The Slashing OF rates between Chicago
and St. Paul by the announcement just
made by the Burlington 81 Northern
proved a great surprise to railroad men
and they had not made up their minds
yesterday what it meant or what caused
the Burlington q Northern to Jump in so
suddenly and make such cut. These
rates will be on freight between Chicago,
Peoria, Quincy, Keokuk, Burlington
and common points and La Crosse, Wi
mona, st. Paul, Minnesota Transfer and
Minneapolis. This makes the rate to
st. Paul and Minneapolis 20
cents lower, firSt-claSs, than
the rate which the other lines
have agreed to put in effect June 4. 1t
is now expected that the Chicago ship
perS will turn their attention to the
other roads and claim that they are dis
ing a higher rate from Chicago to st.
Paul than is charged by the Lake Su-
perior lines from New York to st. Paul
The Burlington & Northern people take
the position, as then have from the first,
that the pro rate system should be
adopted on through business between
Eastern points and st. Paul via Chicago.
General Freight Agent Hamblin, of the
Burlington 81 Northern. argues that
there is much more
REASON FOR THE PRO RATE
to st. Paul, than there ever has been, or
ever will be to the Mississippi river,
owing to the competitor via Washburn
and Duluth. Mr.. Hamblin, of the Bur-
lington & Northern, in his letter to Mr..
FaithOrn announcing the reduction,
Criy for- 1l,n
step:
At the meeting of the Northwestern
association (of which our line is not a
member. but at which we were invited
to be present. all the other lines urged
us to assent to the rates (the 60-cent
Scale) which all said lines had adopted.
We aSSented to said rates against our
own interest for the sole purpose of as
SiSting our competitors to regulate their
local rates in accordance with their
necessities, which they alleged to be
very pressing.
No sooner had our assent been given
to the 60-cent scale than many of our
competitors began to make an improper
use of the advance by alleging that the
advance was made by us for the definite
purpose of discriminating against Chi
cagO trade, when, in fact, said rates
were made for the sole purpose of en-
abling said competing lines to rearrange
stheir local rates on, as they alleged,
fairly consistent basis. Finding that
many of our patrons would be discrim-
mated against by the 60-cent scale,
owing to the extremely low rates from
the seaboard prevailing via Lake Su-
perior lines, we have decided on the
scale given above. Yours truly,
w. B. HAMBLIN, G. F. A.
The officers of the other Chicago roads
in st. Paul had not been informed yes
terday as to whether these new rates
would be met OF not.
