When Sergeant Wofford and Patrolmen

ADVANCE IN CORN RATES.
Result of an Agreement Entered Into
by western Roads.

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-The Western roads
have agreed to an advance in rates on
corn from trans-Missouri territory to the
Mississippi river and Chicago. and also
to New Orleans and Galveston. The ad-
vance from Wichita and Southern Kansas
points to the Mississippi river and to the
Gulf ports will be I cents per 100 pounds
but from other points, where the reduc-
ton has not been SO great, the advance
will vary at from 5 to cents per lo(
pounds. The present rate from Wichita
to ST. Louis is cents. and. therefore. with
the cents advance, the new rate will be
II cents. This is still s cents per l0(
pounds less than the tariff which was ir
effect before the roads forced the low rates
on the Western roads. Wheat and pro-
vision rates. it is understood. will be ad.
vanced sufficiently to maintain the re!a.
tive difference above the corn rates.
The foregoing advance in rates applies
only from trans-Mssouri points and Kan
sas on through business and does not ap,
ply on grain from Missouri river points
proper to Chicago locally. An effort was
made to secure an advance in these rates
also. but the roads east of the Missouri
river were unable to agree and. therefore
the rates between the Missouri river and
Chicago will remain as at present.

statement last night relative to the call:
This call has been issued by few sore
head negroes of Missouri, who have al
ways been out for something free,men who
have no following and who will not be
able to muster a half dozen earnest sup
porters. The negroes of this state and OF
the nation, are now, and always have been,
with the Republican party, and no such
appeal will lure them into the Popocratic
camp. Let the Republican managers do
their duty and we premise them that every
negro in Missouri will be found in line for
Mckinley and the whole Republican tick
ct in November"

No Longer Felt.
AS a result Of prompt action on the part
of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany at the request OF the city. the source

moved. When Professor Lucien /. Blake.

near the stock yards had been dangerously
corroded by the action os electricity. This
main is thirty inches IN diameter and sup
plies the greater portion Of the West bot
toms.
The Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany, at the request of -he city. equipped
the the: Armourdaie electric line with return
ground and carried Vt hack to the power
house. The company also took steps to re.
move all cause for apprehension in the
case of mains in the vicinity of electric
lines in other parts of the city. The danger
from electrolysis mas thus been reduced to
