Undoubtedly the very best way to become
an expert ynchtsmAn and boat sailor Is TO
start in when a lad with a primitive skiff or
'bunty,r and a sal improvised from a
blanket or bed sheet; TO knock around In all
sorts of weather; to experience every kind of
incident and accident, depending on mother
wit TO get out of whatever difficulty no gets
into, and, of course, avoiding in the future
the things which got him into trouble.

figure and majestic manner made her easily

very eccentric, but this In no wise diminished
her popularity. AS her height made her

on numerous wives, and in the parquet
were many more who, If not quite SO numer-
ously, were sufficiently blessed In a matri-
monial woy. 1t was not until 1 had started
to sing the song, His cart was true to Poll

who was sitting In q box, and 1 saw that he
too had suddenly appreciated the danger of
the situation. 1 felt as If I wanted to get on

the provisions of that law. 1t defines
the corporations subject to its provisions.
1t provides that no excessive freight rates
shall be charged. 1t provides that there
shall be no discrimination in rates as be-
tween shippers. That there shall be no
pooling of competing roads TO prevent
competition; that more shall not be
charged for carrying a like kind
and amount of freight. for a
greater than a less distance in the
same direction on the same road.
1t provides by amendments adopted at
the last session of congress that the OIL
GERS and agents of the corporations sub
ject to the provisions of the law for
violating any of these provisions may be.
fined not exceeding five thousand dollars
and imprisonment in the penitentiary not
exceeding two years. Now surely those
to whom you refer can hardly complain
of these provisions. They were intended
to protect all shippers against all extor-
tionate charges and unjust discrimina-
tions. This law like all others, how
ever, does not enforce itself, but only
enables the aggrieved citizen to protect
his rights before the railroad commission
or through the instrumentalitY of the
courts.
As to the last suggestions in your letter
/ have to say that experience has deter
mined the fact that state regulations of
railway transportation should employ the
agency of a commission. Legislative rates
would be impracticable; for what might
be reasonable rates on one road, might
be ruinous to another; and the transpOr-
tation interests of the country are so i'm
portant that they ought not to be en-
barrassed by arbitrary and impracticable
provisions. Whatever regulations are
made should be flexible and reasonable.
And if the state law should require all
charges to be reasonable, forbid
all excessive charges and I'M,
just determinations and enforce the
other remedial provisions contained in
the inter-stat commerce law, and pro-
vide q suitable commission to see that
these provisions are fairly executed, it
seems to me this is all that could be ex-
pected of state legislation. As to what
yOu say about limiting tolls to q reason
able per cent above the actual cost of the
roads, if PROVISION is made that rates
shall be reasonable. and the companies
attempt to make their customers pay
interest on watered stock, this would be
unreasonable and would come within the
provisions of the law l have suggested.
Very respectfully,
JOHN H. REAGAN.

Suffering Terribly from Snake Bite-The
First Bank.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
BRADY, TEX, Aug. 1.-The McCuI-
Ioch county bank opened for business
this morning in this place. This is our
first bank and we feel that it is quite an
acquisition to the town. The following
gentlemen comprise the firm: e. NJ.
Longcope, president; E. J. Marshall,
vice-president: j. Milt Moore, M T.
Campbell and Mike L. Woods, cashier,
all of Lampasas. Mr.. Woods has moved
here and, with an assistant, will run the
business. The firm propose to furnish
all the means necessary to meet the de-
mands in their section and do a general
banking business
The society event of the season was the
marriage on last evening at the resi-
dence of Mr.. T. H. Marsden and
wife, parents of the bride, of DR.. NJ.
Jones to Miss Lille Marsden, both of
this place. Fhe happy couple left this
morning for Brentwood and possibly
other places of interest. After a short
absence they win return and settle down
to the stern realities of fnaEEjed life.
A man by name of Ben Poag was
brought to town yesterday in rather
dangerous condition from a snake bite
1t appears that he was sleeping ON cot
in a sheep camp at night and while asleep
let his arm swing over the edge of the cot
near enough to the ground for the snake
to hang its fangs in his arm near the
wrist. HIS whole arm is badly swollen
and he is suffering much pain. He will
probably recover.

HALSTEAD'S RECEPTION.

Candidate for the Senate.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Aug 3.-There was
a reception to Mr. Murat Halstead of the
Commercial Gazette upon his return
from Europe, given tonight by the Re-
publican clubs of Hamilton county in
Music hall. The lower floor was entirely
given up to the clubs, while the dress
circle and balcony were filled with ladies
and their escorts. The clubs marched
from their respective quarters, and as
they entered with their bands the en-
thusiasm of the crowd was kept at white
heat. The stage was occupied by a large
number of gentlemen designated to act as
presidents. When all the clubs had
been seated Mayor Mosby made
the welcoming address, contain
ing illusions to the honored
suggestion of the usefulness of such a
quality in the senate of the United
States. Wien MI. Halstead arose to
reply he had the most fiattering recep-
ton, which continued several minutes,
during which the assemblage of 500 arose
and cheered and cheered again. Hal
stead 5 address was listened to with in
tetesf and frequently applauded. Mr..
w. II. Parham, on behalf of the cOlOTed
people of Hamilton county and of Ohio,
made brief speech. Mr.. Jacobs well
coined him on the part of the press and
then Governor Foraker made a speech,
largely of q political character. The
meeting was very enthusiastic and highly
fiattering to MIR. Halstead.

A Hesv snow Storm Throughout wyo-
ming.

OBSERVERS OFFICE, CHEYENNE, Feb.
Is, ISs9.-The storm center last night

almost stationary for t~wenty-four hours,
excepting a slow southern movement.
There was heavy snow yesterday in
Montana, Wyoming, Dakota and Colorado
and it still continued at s p. m. in Dakota
and Wyoming. In Nebraska, Iowa,
Texas and New Mexico the precipitation
was in the form of rain but was light.
The temperature is extremely high to the

about 25e above the nominal.
Amount of snow at s.. p. m. in CheV-
enne lie inches, depth Is. Range of
temperature yesterday from 200 to 31'.

agree that the storms arrival was most
opportune and predict that green grass
will be found on the sunny hillsides and
in the sheltered ravines within the next
three weeks.

His tone is so large and true, his bowling

1T WAS A BIG DAY:

About 9 o'clock Yesterday morning
everyone in town who is given to the OBJ
servance OF festive Cupid's day out. SEEM
ed suddenly to recollect that st. Valen-
tines day was at hand and entitled to
proper recognition.
On account of the decline of the day
the dealers had been rather cautious
about over-stocking, and in consequence
the supply ran short. The school child
rem had been at it several days, and the
price on comics was advanced before noon,
while the finer and more costly valentines
did not increase in value until along
toward evening.
The day at the post Office was one of
the busiest in the history of that institu-
ton. The clerks and carriers were pretty
weary last night. The prime cause of
annoyance was the activity of a class who
seldom do business with Uncle Sans
great missivc carrying system. These
people thought one cent sufficient to in
sure the delivery of a drop letter, and the
carriers lost lots of time in collecting the
additional penny from the consignee. If
the gaudy print happened to hurt, the
receiver was of course in anything but
good humor, and his or her peace Of mind
was further disturbed by the enforcement
of the payment of postage due.
Many very fine valentines passed
through the Cheyenne Office, and the car
riers hurried about with load after load of
fiat card board boxes. This was pleasant,
as the recipient had only kind words for
the donor and the messenger.
As Intimated above the day was a busy
one for Postmaster Snyder and his corps,
