WANTS THE TARIFF SHEETS.
The Freight Bureaus Effort TO Get
Them For Its Use.

Them For Its Use.
Commissioner Knapp Of the freight bu-
reau IS making an effort TO secure for
It's use copies Of the tariff sheets as they
are issued by the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association. but has so far
been unable to do so.
Commissioner Stahlman, after having
been written to several times about the
matter, replied that the association did
not furnish tariff sheets even 10 transpor-
tation lines. except to those which are
members of the association and such i'm
mediate lines in its territory as work in
harmony with the association, and even
they are supplied with a limited number.
The commissioner said that the associa-
tlon had uniformly declined to furnish
the sheets TO commercial bodies or indi-
viduals, leaving IL with the initial lines
Interested in such bodies to supply them.
This having been the rule of the associa-
ton for a long time Commissioner Stahl-
man declined to deviate from 1t.
Mai. Knapp wrote again. but was un-
able to obtain any promise Of securing
the sheets. Mr.. Stahlman giving lengthy
explanation why it was impraoticable to
furnish them.
The freight bureau offered to pay the
cost of furnishing the sheets the same
as If they were furnished to a railroad.
Failing TO get any satisfactory arrange
ment with the railway and steamship as
sociation, Maj Knapp wrote to the inter-
state commerce commission making a
statement of the facts and asking if the
railway and steamship association could
not be compelled to furnish the sheets.
Commissioner Clements replied that the
request the freight bureau made was en-
tiFely a reasonable one in his opinion,
but inasmuch as when the railroads have
filed with the commission and posted
along their lines of road their schedule
of tariffs as required by law, they have
done all that can be eXacted of them in
respect to furnishing the schedules. Com
missioner Clements volunteered to fur
nish the bureau any Information it might
desire from the sheets on file with the
commission.
The object Of Maj. Knapp was to obtain
the sheets as soon as they are promul-
gated with a view TO keeping the bureau
posted so that Ii may act promptly in
the interest of its patrons.

A SHOW ON WHEELS.
The Only One of Its Kind Under the
SUN.


Considerable interest and excitement
was caused yesterday by the appearance
on the streets of large and attractivelv
painted wagon, in which was exhibited a
mummy. Great crowds gathered around
the vehicle to read the Inscriptions, tell
ing of the wonderful show on the inside
The policemen were kept busy keeping
them from blockading the side walks and
the street.
Many were particularly interested in the
novel construction Of the wagon and were
surprised to learn that 1t was built in this
city by P. Barrett.
1t is one of the most complete and
economical show wagons ever built. com
prising accommodations for the mummy
which is the center of attraction on the
inside, besides being arranged in a most
convenient manner for the comfort of
the men who have charge of the show
Sleeping apartments, lockers, a dining
table and cooking quarters are all com
bined under the canvass which screens
the center figure from the public gaze
The entire combination was designed
built and decorated at p. Barrett's car
rage and wagon works.-ad

MENU FOR THE WEEK.
Some Suggestions for the Table at
This Season.


It's the time of year when the house
wife is put to her wits end to think of
what to have for dinner. There are no
vegetables and salt pork. eggs and tough
beef are getting tiresome. What shall
she get?
Here's a suggestion for her. 1t viii
tighten her work and her mind. How
about wild duck for dinner. an English
duck, a teal duck, a mallard duck or a
tame domestic duck, if you prefer it?
How about a nice tender fillet OF beef
especially selected, and particularly fine?
How about a nice dry picked" turkey
capon or young fowl? Either of these are
excellent.
How about one of those splendid sweet
picked OK tongues which are enjoyed by
everybody?
How about delicate sweet bread or
some brains? Brains are good.
How about some smelt, or fresh mack
erel, fresh halibut or fresh cod fish.
How about sending to II. Logan for any
of these nice things, any time this week?

THE STOLEN DIAMONDS.
The Question As to Who Is RESPONSE
bic For Their Loss.

bic For Their Loss.
Every effort will be made to capture the
swlndler who went to Swainsboro and
gave his name as J. c. Coleman, and who
swindled jewelers. in different parts of the
state out of thousands of dollars worth
of diamonds.
1t puts him on no more notice than he
already has TO make this statement, for
he has sense enough to know that the de-
tectives in every part of the country
have his descrip ton and are laying for
him.
The Southern Express Company. which
some of the jewellers are trying to hold
responsible for their losses, will Join in
the work, and when the company takes
hold of a case, it is a rare thing that some
thing fails to drop. The case, if it ever
gets into court in the nature of a suit
against the company to recover the
amount of the goods, Will present some in.
terest!nS questions.
The jewelers. who made the shipments
claimed that the company had no right
to deliver their goods to an irresponsible
party. They say it was to the real John
c. Coleman of Swainsboro to whom they
shipped, and that they had no idea of the
existence there of any other party going
by the same name.
The express company will claim. how
ever. that it made a proper delivery. J.
c. Coleman, or the man who called him
self by that name, was the man who really
ordered the goods, and he was the party
to whom they were delivered. They were
carried first, as has been stated to Mr.
Coleman of Swainsboro, and he stated
that they We're not for him. They were
then delivered to the other party who
went by that name, he having been III.
party who sent the orders for them. The
question as TO who is responsible for the
loss Will no doubt be an interesting one.
