j. w. Luke, George w. Perkins and
Peter A. Dey, composing the state
board of railway commissioners, have
filed two reports on the application of
the railroads for an increase in freight
rates The majority report is signed
| by Commissioners Perkins and Luke,
who give as their reasons for denying
the increase that the present rates
were not shown to be unremunerative,
and that railway losses have been
heavier in interstate freight than Iowa

minority report holds that rates should
be raised almost as much as the rail-
roads asked, and says he has always
thought Iowa rates were too low.

A Sioux City dispatch says: Rev. j.
| w. Mahood, pastor of the Whitfield M.
E. church, has commenced a crusade
against the houses of i'll fame after the
manner of DR.. Parkhurst He went to
well known brothel on one of the
principal streets of the city at night,
and found five women and four men
there. He then appeared in police
court as prosecuting witness against
these five women, charged with keep
ing house Of prostitution. He gave
testimony as to what he saw there,
which, while not as sensational as that
given by DR.. Parkhurst in New York
on similar occasion, was sufficient to
prove the character of the house.
While he was present one woman pro-
| posed to do the feat of standing on her
head, but was prevented from doing so
by another woman. There were a
large number of friends of the preacher
present at police court when the case
was called but the attorneys for the
woman insisted on the room being
cleared. The police have refused to
interfere in these houses and a general
crusade is likely against them.
