LOW RATE TO THE FAIR.
Railroads Finally Make a Big Reduc-
ton in Prices.

Chicago, July 10.-By a unanimous
vote today the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION adopted a resolution provid-
ing for Il special ele-fare rate from all
towns on their lines west of the Mis-
souri, river to Chicago, with a minimum
rate of SIS in the south and southwest
and of S13.75 in the northwest.
-Four excursion trains will be run
every week, beginning next Monday,
the 18th, and the tickets will be good
for one week.
Chairman Caldwell was glad to have
the question settled. This minimum
rate works like this" said he in expla
nation. From towns where the reg1-
lar rate is SIS or less there will be no
reduction. When the rate is SIG it will
be cut down to S15; when it is S35 the
rate will be $3.50, and so on
This association thinks that in taking
this action it will reach the people who
have been clamoring that they could
not see the fair because no reduction
had been made in the railroad rates
People living within one hundred miles
of Chicago or so will not stick at the
| fare if they want to come to the eX
position. This new rate virtually makes
round trip to Kansas City and st
F., Paul cost but one fare.

SEVERE RETRENCHEMENT.

EXperTment Stations.

Secretary Morton Would Wipe OUT
Experiment Stations.
Washington. July 10. 49, Secretary
Morton in his report will recommend
the abolition of all experiment stations
not required by law. Jerry Rusk's
agricultural work will be torn to
shreds, and that very shortly. Secrc-
tary Morton i'm his report intends to
recommend that every experimental
station under his department be abol-
ished This will include several in the
northwest All stations established
prior to the Hatch act, and all others
established by Secretary Rusk, he in
tends to wipe out of existence as soon
as possible.
'Do you intend to make these recon-
mendatiOns in your repOrt?' was ask
cd him to-day.
II certainly do he said. ut is a.
useless expenditure of money, and is
profitab bic neither to the government
nor to the locality in which they are
situated For instance, $4,000 have
been expended at Garden City, Kan,
to attempt to find grass that WIZ
grow without either water or SOIL. III
has been $4,000 thrown away. This
station will be one of the first to 60
Almost as much has been wasted Or
the sugar beet station at Schuyler,
Neb. The sugar experiment station at
Medicine Lodge, Kan, is another use
less incubus, and the Sterling sugar
experiment. station is not far behind
Since 1880 $2O,723 have been expended
at the Sterling station and $4O,O24 at
Medicine Lodge. The government ap-
propriates $4,000 annually to each
state for it's experiment stations ana
other stations now under the manage
ment of the agricultural department.

coded that the exposition is innocent

When the fire broke out there was
large number Of visitors in the build

firemen rushed in there was wild
rush for the stairways and exits. In
the excitement a number of people
were thrown down and badly bruised,
though as far as known none were
seriously injured.

conduct they showed a discipline. q
unity, a fidelity which were the secret
of their success. When Rolf came to
found Normandy in France, one of his
men was asked who was their master,
he replied 1--WE have no master, we
are all equal" They consisted of war
riors who had chosen their leader and
the leader could depend on their obedi-
ence. In time of need they would pre-
sent an unbroken front. Such a isci-
pine voluntarily submitted to and
united with liberty is evidence of a
moral strength which no barbarians
could possess. Such were the germs of
liberty that were scattered in the soil
of Normandy, where the Normans were
first to produce French Literature.
Such were the germs of liberty that aft

Charta and that finally developed full
bloom flowers in our American declara-
ton Of independence, and thus it is that
the apparently Insignificant event, that

A Novel Screw Propeller.

An inventor claims to have dirov.
cred a perfect screw motion for steam
navigation. Heretofore engineers
have used only two Of tho three
agencies required to constitute per.
feet screw motion, the revolving a!
the screw and the angle Of the thread
of the screw; the third agency, the
push applied, is now added. No al.
teration in the engine or hull Of the
ship is required; it is to the part Of
the shaft that projects from the stern
of the ship that the new system is
applied. A thread is cut over tho
shaft, n casing is fitted, and guide,
which runs in the thread. is attached
to the inside of the casing.
The screw is fixed to the casing.
and when the shaft turns the casing
alternates backward and forward.
end thus the third agency il applied.
The great point is that when the
screw comes forward toward the hull
there is no loss of energy. Hereto
fore a large proportion of the energy
expended in turning propeller 10

screw. The inventor of the now pro
peller expects to save third of this
