RAILROAD MATTERS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago, Burl-
ington g. Quincy today carried out its
threat, and put in the reduced grain rates
from Nebraska points and the Missouri
river to Chicago, cutting the old rates S
cents a hundred and making II cent rat 2
from Omaha. Considerable stir was made
about noon by the assertion that the Chi
cago & Northwestern had met the Burling
ton rates, but the first mentioned com
pany came out with a vigorous denial.
1t is understood that the Milwaukee &
St. Paul, the Rock Island and the North
western will combine to keep up the old
rates on corn and ignore the Burlington
cut. The rates on horses and mules in
car loads was reduced by all lines from
Kansas City to Chicago, from so to $40 a
carload Live stock rates from Council
Bluffs and Omaha were pulled down from
| $3.50 to $50 a carload to egualize with the
rate from Kansas City The Rock Island
sent out a notice that it would meet the
low rates between Chicago and st. Paul
on through business but would decline all
local business at those figures.
General managers of the northwestern
lines were in session today but no steps
were taken looking to an adjustment OF
the troubles i'm the northwest. A resolu-
ton was adopted inviting the outside lines,
Chicago, Burlington q Northern, Chicago
st. Paul & Kansas City, and Minneapolis,
Sault Ste Marie & Atlantic to attend An
adjournment was taken until tomorrow.
There is no apparent probability of the
Burlington & Northern representative
putting in an appearance or of anything in
the way Of a compromise being accom-

federal courts with states officials in the

horses were given to him as colts by his
father, Mr.. Ezra Abrams, and we're
valued more on this account than for
their money value, though but short
time before he had been offered $500 for
them, which he promptly refused. He
said if he could have thrown $500 into
the stream let it float away to save
them he would gladly have done it.
The horses foated mile down the
stream and there they were found,
dead in the harness. They deserve
finer memorial tribute than many men
whose posthumous virtues are written
in marble over the spot where they lie.
In relating the details of the accident
Mr.. Mccartney said that Mr. Mclean,
though offered remuneration for his
assistance and kindness, being man
not blessed with an abundance of world
" goods, refused all compensation,
having done what he did from the simple
desire to aid another in distress. II
would be no mean theme for the poet to
sing the unnoted heroisms, that in just
such ways as this prove that the human
heart is rich in sympathy and that true
heroism manifests itself in many ways.
Nor would it be small theme to sing
the faithful service and obedience even
to death, which every day is exemplified
among the patient animals thai
wait on man.

We and Onr Neighhnrs

Neither let us be sandered from our
duty by false accusations against us .
Let us dare to do our duty as we understand it,.
Those are good sentiments to head
the editorial column of newspaper.
Let us suggest complement for the
first; Neither let us Islander our neigh
bors by false accusations against them.
If an attempt to class neighbor who
happens to be business competitor,
amongst those who employ fraud and
"sculduggery' to accomplish their
ends, is doing ones duty as he under
stands it, his understanding needs en-
Tightening. Such misstatements as
have been called to the attention of the
publisher of the newspaper referred to
will, no doubt be corrected, butt false
accusations are hard things to correct.
"Be sure you are right, and then go
ahead" is good motto, but if man
starts out with the idea that he is always
right, and somebody else is always
wrong, he will Ego ahead, many times
when he is not right. A newspaper that
processes to be fighting all that it be
lieves to be wrong, and striving to pro-
mote all it believes good, should welcome
all contributions toward that glorious
cause, from whatever source. A gen
tlcman in society is not contentious or
suspicious or unwilling to accord others
the same consideration he expects for
himself. The same rules will apply to
journalism. Personalities should be
avoided; other papers should not be too
easily suspected, or accused of wron Q
motives and whenever referred to
should be spoken of respectfully. We
can be on good terms with those journals
that adopt, and faithfully follow out the
line Of conduct suggested by the quota
ton above (with our amendment,) and
who can understand their duty by their
contemporaries to be substantially. rs
we have endeavored to state it We
will have absolutely nothing to do with
those who will not. We will agree, or
agree to disagree with those who will
treat us in affair and gentlemanly way;
those who will not, we shall let alone
We prefer to be on good terms with
all honest men and all honest news
papers, but win not carry on continual
personal warfare with either.

Those Tickets.
CONTRIBUTOR

As some comments have been made
upon the tickets voted at our town
election, we will state that the first
ticket we printed was ordered by Mr..
Rylaud, not solicited by US, and con-
tanned the names of the caucus nomi-
nees. 1t was headed Town Ticket. .
The next one was ordered By com
mittee, and was by their direction
headed Peoples Ticket" It bore the
same names as the first except the
candidate for assessor was changed 20
Howdle. The next was the regular
caucus ticket, which was run with the
same head as the last, Peoples Tick
ct, for convenience. There were no
"bogus tickets" nor anything like it, as
any one who cares to investigate can
ascertain.
