ais are located in this district, will follow
the course of the Omaha road in i'm

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Passes
Away at Prague.
Brief Cablegram from Ills Son Announces
the Sad Fact.

Racine, Wis, Jan. 15.-[Special. IA
cablegram was received here at 2:3O
o'clock today by Fred Jonas from
Creheld, Ger, announcing the death
at that place of Carl Jonas. United
States consul there. The cablegram
was sent by a son of the deceased con-
sui.
Mr.. Jonas was born at Melsaw, Bo-
hemia, October 30, 1910; he graduated
from the Bohemian Real school at
Prague in 1859, and entered the Poly
courses of lectures at the university.
He left his native country in 1860, going
to London, where he was employed as Il
newspaper correspondent for two years.
In 1868 he came to the United States
and settled at Racine. He was a mem
Der of the board of managers of the
state industrial school for boys in 1873
4 and alderman of Racine from 1876 to
1880. During part of that time he was
also president of the Racine common
council. In 1878 he was elected mem
Der of the Assembly. He was elected to
the Senate for the years 1885, and was
appointed United States consul at
Der II, 1886, which position he held I'M
til July 16, 1889. He was elected lieu

Mr.. Jonas was again appointed consul
to st. Petersburg in 1898, during his

change consulships with Mr.. Jonas. This
was accomplished and the change took
place less than year ago.
The Austrian government declined to
recognize Mr.. Jonas at Prague and he
was transferred to Crefeld. Three days

ment withdrew its objections regarding
the Prague consulate. but Mr.. Jonas was
already settled at Crefeld and decided
to stay there.
Nothing was known in this ccun-
try of the illness of Mr.. Jonas and the

WILL BENEFIT DAIRYMEN.
Commissioner Adams Has Bill to Reg
uIate the Cheese Industry.


Madison, Wis, Jan. 1S.-[Speciai. /
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Adams, who has just returned from the
national dairy convention at Milwau-
kee, says one important result of the
meeting is the determined effort to have
a law passed in Congress regulating the
GiEled cheese industry, which, if success
full, will be of great benefit to Wiscon-
sin dairymen. One great evil they have
10 contend with now is that Illinois filled
cheese manufacturers label their product
Wisconsin cream cheese, and the only
remedy is by expensive and uncertain
litigation.
Mr. Adams has drawn a bill, which
was favorably discussed by the conven-
ton and referred to committee consist
ing Of w. H. Hatch of Missouri. II. A.
Adams of Wisconsin and Joseph Hughes
of New York, who will go to Washington
and work for its adoption. The bill as
drawn by Mr.. Adams requires each
state to have a cheese trade mark, to be
6Ied with the secretary of agriculture.
The bill also imposes a tax of cents
q pound on filled cheese, requires manu-
sacturers to pay license of $500 year
and retail dealers $40 per year. Mr..
Hatch is now in Washington and the
other members will join him probably
uext week

Chicago, H., Jan. 20.-In the. United
States district court today Judge Gross
cup handed down an opinion on the. mo-
ton to quash the indictments in the
SANTA FEES alleged violation of the inter
state commerce act. The indictments
were upheld in part and quashed in part.
John A. Hanley, general traffic mana ger
OF the Santa Fee, and eX-PreSident Rine-
hart OF the road were adjudged to have
been properly indicted on two counts
These counts set forth from April TO No
Yember, 1892. the two officials violated
the act by giving rebates and drawbacks
and that on October Is Of that year they
made the payment.
The rebate was paid TO Nelson Morris.
but the Indictment as to Morris was
quashed on the ground that the rate
was d discrimination against shippers
by the railroad and Morris acceptance
OF the rate III no wise made him guilty
Of discrimination.
The Indictment against Isaac A.
Thompson, a Kansas City shipper. and
Manager Jenkins of the Hammond
Packing. company were quashed. The
court held lack of sufficient presentation
of facts to- show they had resorted TO
device to- secure a less than the regu-
lar rate of shipment
These decisions are in effect shat q
shipper COULD not be held for violation in
accepting a rebate and is the first legal
Interpretation on that part of the inter
state commerce law making shippers
equally liable with carriers to q violation
of the law In discrimination.
