Iowa Railroads Want More Money For
Their Services.
Dies MONIES, Aug. 23.-The hearing
of the Iowa railroads for raise in Iowa
rates was held at the state house. Job
bers from Council Bluffs, Davenport,
Ottumwa, Oskaloosa. Sioux City, Mar
shalltown, Cedar Falls and other points
We're in attendance. The shippers case
was handled by ex-Railway Commits
sioner Frank 7. Campbell of Des Moines,
ex-Railway Commissioner Spencer
Smith Of Council Bluffs, and Mr.. Harris
of Cedar Falls. Spencer Smith opened
by requesting that the roads be COM
PEELED to submit special statement of
the raise they desired. TIE
board sustained him, through ]. w.
Blythe strongly opposed it, saying they
asked for an advance all along the line
and at proper time would submit
statement. MIR. Ripley did most of the
talking for the roads, giving the history
OF Iowa rates, and adding the influence
OF Iowa rates on adjoining states would
end in the establishment Of the same
low rates and utterly kill railways. Mr..
Campbell called Mr. Ripley down and
intimated That the roads We're afraid to
go into court with their request, but
came before railroad commissioners,
where they would not have to show
their books. The hearing was post
poned for one month to give shippers
another hearing. The advance asked
averages Is to 90 per cent.

WILL DEPRESS WHEAT.
Completion of the Siberian Railway
Expected to Have Such an
Effect,
SAYS CONSUL GENERAL JONAS
Thirty Million Bushels Said to Be Not
An Over Estimate Of Shipments
From Siberia.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-United States
Consul General Jonas at st. Petersburg,
in report to the department of state,
calls attention to the fact that the early
completion of the Siberian railroad is
likely to have depressing effect upon
the price Of grain throughout the world.
No reliable estimates can be formed of
the probable export of Siberian grain to
Europe, by this road, and one rough es-
innate placing it at 5000, 900 bushels for
the West Siberian side, is regarded as
decidedly too low. Moreover, the com.
pletion of the road is expected to greatly
stimulate the planting of grain in the
black soil belt, famous for its fertility.
In 1889, the Siberian governments pro-
duced a surplus Ct 10000, 600 bushels of
grain. To lessen the depressing effect
upon the local ST. Petersburg market of
the expected thrush Of Siberian wheat,
new outlet is being provided by line
Of railroad from Perm, already con-
nected with Eastern Siberia to Kotlas,
Dvina river, offering an easy way to
Archangel, on the White sea, whence
the wheat can be exported to other
European countries.

Books Should BE Well Chosen and Read
Carefully, Net DcvoUred.
Study is like dinner. The viands
must be well chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured, then well turned over in
the mental stomach for awhile until
with ease and comfort they are perfect
ly digested and furnish nutriment t.
the brain. Most students study without
thought, which is like eating without
digesting. Others read merely as fad
and soon forget all they may have
learned.
The most satisfactory method of study
Is the digestive. 1t is the thorough one
the one that gives strength to the
brain. Take the subject you are study
ing. Read few lines or a few pages,
as the case may be, then put the book
down and think on what you have read.
Turn it about in your mind from every
standpoint. Do not accept it Immediate
~. Argue for and against it in your
mind. In other words, masticate it.
You need not be at your leisure to do
this. Do it in your walks, in your idle
moments, at any time When you have
satisfied yourself On the subject, go Oh
with little more in the same way. In
Q short time you will find yourself
more thorough student than il you
had read all at sitting. The best edu-
Gated man in the end is the man who
learns slowly. but surely. New York

TURNING into TRAMPS.
Latest Utterances of Master Workman
Sovereign Before Laboring Men
of Baltimore.
MILLIONS, ARE STARVING.
While MilliOnaireS Continue to Build
Palaces---GovernOr Altgeld Makes
an Appeal.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2S.-General Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights OF
Labor, addressed large meeting of
workmen here, in the course Of which
he said:
''In the beginning men started
equally, but now the one class has
nearly everything, and millions, though
willing to work, are on the verge of
starvation. While millions are starving,
the rich still find place on earth for
magnificent palaces and great parks,
where they may hunt and enjoy life as
they please to do.
''In America today there are 5000, 600
men, willing and ready to work, who
are idle for want of work to do, mould
ing themselves or rather being moulded,
into felons and beggars.
Charity Has Been Strained
as it was never strained before, but still
the cry for bread from starving threats
is heard all over the land. These men
are being turned into tramps.
''The tramp has been described as a
cross between poverty and crime, but
think that the dude, a product of our
civilization, can just as accurately be
described as a cross between nobody
and nothing. Both are the results, the
outcome of monopoly, the monopoly
that unless it is throttled will cause the
death of the republic"

Lvcom,ne,s Ear,v Judiciary.

"Fair- Play Men" was the title given
to q part of Lycoming county, Pa,
now densely populated and dotted with
prosperous towns and cities. The pro-
prietary government, with view to
protecting the Indians from intrusion,
had forbidden the survey and settle
ment Of the region, but some hard treat
ed and hard handed Scotch-Irish pio-
neers found their way into the forbid
den territory, and being outside the i'm
mediate jurisdiction Of any properly
constituted tribunal they chose three Of
their number to settle disputes and call
ed them fair play men. The decisions
of this tribunal, especially as to bound
aries, were enforced by the whole COM
munity and came in time even to be re-
spected by the courts. When a chief
justice of Pennsylvania asked one of the
first pioneers what were the features Of
the fair play code, the pioneer is re-
ported to have answered that since his
honor's court had found its way into
the region fair play had aed and law
had taken its place. - Philadelphia

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-At the meeting
of the Chicago-St. Paul lines to con-
slider the question Of competition on
east bound emigrant business the entire
matter, after long discussion, was re-.
ferred to the advisory committee of the
emigrant pool of the Western lines.
The 500 is assuming ali attitude which
cannot fail, If persisted in, to bring
down no end of trouble on the Western
roads. 1t demands differential rate of
$3.50 and at the same time insists upon
meeting the commission payments
made via Chicago by the ST. Paul Chi
cago lines. The other lines can hardly
be expected to endure this sort of thing
and lively row is in prospect if the
500 maintains its present position.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The antici-
pated enactment of our new tariff law
has affected the wool market in Eng
land, according to report to the state
department from United States Consul
Meeker, at Bradford. 1t has caused
quicker sales than ever before, buyers
being eager to anticipate a brisk de-
mand from the United States, and farm
ers are anxious to turn their fieeces into
ready money because of the depression.
The prices showed an average advance
of from Is to cent a pound over last
year, also caused by the tariff bill
changes, as the consumption of the
home trade did not warrant the advance.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-Governor Alt
geld has issued the following proclama-
ton addressed, "to the people of the
state of Illinois, and especially to those
of the city of Chicago"
"There is great distress growing out
of the want Of food in and around the
town of Pullman. More than 1000
families, or in the neighborhood of
5000 people, are utterly destitute;
nearly four-fifths of them are women
and children. The men have endeav-
ored to get work but were unable to
do so.
''As rule the men are a superior
class of laboring people, industrious,
capable and steady, and some of them
have worked for the Pullman company
for more than 10 years. Those who
have been given work can get food but
are still in
Such an Impoverished Condition
that they cannot help their neighbors if
they would. The county commissioners
of Cook county, as overseers of the
poor, have rendered some assistance,
but owing to the limited appropriation
they can furnish relief but for short
time.
eve cannot now stop to inquire the
cause of this distress. The good reople
of this state cannot allow women and
children by the hundred to perish Of
hunger. I therefore call upon all
humane and charitably disposed citizens
to contribute what they can toward
giving relief to these people,"
Before issuing the proclamation Gov.
ernor Altgeld sent a lengthy communi,
cation to Mr.. Pullman, calling his at.
tention to the situation and saying Of
the strikers:
The Appeal to Pullman.
cit is claimed they struck because
after years of toll their loaves were SC
reduced that their children went
hungry. Acceding that they were
wrong and foolish, they had yet served
you long and well and you must feel
some interest in them. They do not
stand on the same footing with you, sc
that much must be overlooked. The
state of Illinois has not the least desire
to NEEDLE in the affairs of your COM
pany, but it cannot allow whole COM
munity within its borders to perish of
hunger. The local overseers Of the poor
have been appealed to, but there is
limit to what they can do. 1 cannot
help them very much at present, so, IN
less relief comes from some other
source, / shall either have
To Call an Extra Session
of the legislature to make special APP
preparation, or else issue an appeal to
the humane people of the state to give
bread to your recent employees. It
seems to me that you would prefer to
relieve the situation yourself, and es-
pecially as it has just cost the state mp.
wards of $4,000 to protect your prop
erty, and as both the state and the pub
lie business have suffered enormous loss
and expense on account of the disturb
ances that grew out of the trouble be-
tween your company and its workmen."
To this MIR. Pullman replied at length,
giving the position of the company in
the present situation but declining tc
follow the suggestions for relief in the
governors letter by carceling al rents
due to Oct. 1 and by giving all old men
work at least half the time.
