A neighboring paper tells Of oma
who disguised herselfas a man and clerk
ed in a store for year and applied for
membership in the Knight of Pythias
and was initiated. During the work of
the third degree they use an India rub
Der rat, a ceIluloid snake which run by
clock work inside, and which are very
natural indeed. The idea is to let them
run at the candidate to see if he will
finch. When the snake ran at the girl
she kept her nerve all right, but when
the rat tried to u up her trousers leg,
she grabbed up her imaginary skirts in
both hands and jumped into a refrigera-
tor that was standing near, which is used
in the degree work, and &C r e a m e d
bloody murder. The girl is a member,
however, and there is no help for it.
The secret societies here, we understand,
take precaution against the admission of
women by carefully examining the feet
of the applicant. If the feet r cold
enough to freeze ice cream the candidate
is black-balled.

The meeting Of lodge number one,
Star of Jupiter, last Saturday night, was
a very interesting one,a and was largely
attended. Following the regular bus
mess and the initiation of a number OF
candidates, refreshments were served.
The spread was excellent in quality and
generous in quantity, all present, enjoy
ing it hugely. Altogether it was a very
comfortable affair. The members hope
that the Alpha entertainment may be
followed until the whole alphabet has
been used for names.

The recent disaster in one of Chicago's
public schools has caused Supt. Valen-

ter of seeing how quickly and with what
order the school buildings of the city

fire alarm, and with good results, too.

An Advance of Nearly One

Lake. Erie and Western Come In
Before 1t Gets Cold.
Another Increase in the west Round
Tariff Rate-Hsy and shingie
Bands Go Up-Other
Railroad News.

On the 26th instant the tariff on dry
goods from the east will be raised. The
rate is now $3.50 per 100 pounds, and
under that proposed it will be raised to
$2.40, from Chicago and New York alike.
The new rate is getting nearer to that in
force before the series OF 'cuts" which
resulted in its being down to the present
figure took place. The railroads claim
that they cannot handle the goods on
the present rate with anything beyond
bare expenses, and now that satisfactory
agreements have been reached regard
ing the matter, an attempt will be made
to establish the rate on dry goods at
something like fair basis.
What effect this cut will have on the
prices Of dry goods here cannot be
stated. II adds just 80 csnts to freight
expenses on every hundred pounds of
goods received. This will make de-
cided difference with the leading dry
goods houses at the end of the year, and
whether the prices will be raised re-
mains to be seen. The rate several
years ago was So so per 100 pounds in
bales and IS 90 in cases. 1t is probably
the intention of the various railroad
companies to eventually reach this fig
ure or somewhere near it.
The rate for hay and shingle bands,
iron and steel, from Chicago to Los An
gelen has been raised from 40 to 80
cents per 100 pounds.
