CHANGE IN FREIGHT RATES.

The Western Traffic Association Allows Iowa
Lines to Adopt New Tariff.
CHICAGO, March 14-The Iowa Central
road has been trying very hard to secure q
reversal of the recent decision of the board
of commissioners of the Western Traffic AS
ISOLATION in which is was required to ad-
vance it's rate on certain commodities from
IL to 20 cents per one hundred pounds, Chi
cago to Iowa points, and also to advance it's
rates from the east bank of the Mississippi
to OskalOosa and Marshalltown on traffic
from the East The commissioners reopened
the case and heard the arguments of the
Iowa Central and other interested
lines. Chairman Walker, of the board,
issued another decision to-day, de-
clining to modify the finding of
Feb. 20, in the matter of rates on commod-
tiles from Chicago, but relaxing the de-
cision as the proportional rates from the
Mississippi river. Mr.. Walker says that
the board, having examined carefully the
rates previously adjusted from time to
time, and the apparent results of such ad-
juStments. considers that the proportional
rates from the east bank of the Mississippi
river to Oskaloosa and Marshalltown ap-
plicable on the traffic from the East should
be as follows: First class. 40 cents; SEQ
ond class, "a; third class, 27l2; fourth class,
Is; fifth class. 1912. The tfth-class rate in
question was 12l2 cents when the Missouri
river rate from Chicago was advanced to

The Rio Grande's Latest Scheme.

r DENVER, Col. March 14.-It is rumored
on good authority that the Rio Grande
Western, in order to secure shorter line
to the Pacific coast. is negotiating for the
purchase of the Oregon Pacific road. which
Is projected from Ysquina bay. on the Ore
gon coast. to Boise City, Ida, and will
build westward from Ogden, y. T., to con-
meet with it, which would give the Rio
Grande q first-class transcOntinental route.
4 AT secret meeting of Colorado and Utah
lines, Thursday night, steps were taken to
change the through freight rates from the
Missouri river to Salt Lake. Heretofore
lines east of Colorado received 3712 per
cent. and lines west 62l2 while the local
rate from Colorado is only 60 per cent. The
intention is to increase the Colorado rate
to 62l2c. There will undoubtedly be a
strong protest from shippers.

How to BE q Good Citizen.

George Alfred Townsend
The way to be good American citizen is
to aspire not to make President, but to be
one; to live In all respects with reference
to the wholesomeness of the land every
where, to suppress rage and malice, to be
magsterial in the sense of heavens magis-
tracy, which dispenses the showers of
mercy upon the evil and the good. If this
country were governed with the malicious
spirit which animates its so-called reform
newspapers. it would be the most unjust

We offered to join the association in good

The fact is. they are simply demanding inn

LONDON, March IA Rome dispatch
gays that the Prince of Naples is pursuing
his military studies under the superintend-
ence of General Avogadro and other supe-
rior officers. 1t is the desire of King Hum
bert that the young prince should be trained
in all martial exercises. An interesting
field-day is to be held on land near Naples
for the Prince to demonstrate practically
the effect OF bis studies. The young man
was, it is said, really in love with the
Princess Marguerite. of Prussia, and both
the Kaiser and King Humbert were willing
that the attachment should result favora,
bly,. The Princess herself, however, showed
q positive repugnapce to the Italian, and
this. of course, made an engagement impos-
sible. The marriage settlement OF the
young Prince is a serious question for King
Humbert, as he is nominally Catholic
and yet under the ban OF the church. He
is Catholic enough to keep him out of a
Protestant family, and not Catholic enough
to unite with the ruling houses of that faith.

THE CASE OF Mr.. J. d. WAKEFIELD, FORMERLY OF

Below will be found statements and certih-
Gates that will fully warrant the claim that the
Chase City Llthla Water has effected the most
wonderful cure of Brights Disease on record.
MIR. Wakefelds condition when he arrived az
Chase City in April, 1890, was most desperate.
He had suffered for a number OF years with
Brights Disease and kidney troubles IN their
most aggravated forms and had used in vain all
the remedies known 70 the medical profession.
and had also used for a number OF years one OF
the most celebrated Lithla waters IL Inc world
without obtaining relief. A consultation OF the
most prominent physicians III Louisville ky..
was held in regard TO his case, which was pro-
nOunced by them % be an undOubted case or
Brights Disease. and it was decided by them
that the only possible way of saving his he
would be 10 take him 10 New York and have his
kidney removed. MIR. Wakefield would not con
sent to this, but soon after the consultation
came to Chase City and commenced the use Of
the Chase City Lithia Water, which IN three
months restored him to the condition in which
We find him to-day.
