RAILROAD COMMISSION HEARING.
VIII Make Number of Changes In Iowa
Considerations.

Considerations.
DIES MONIES, March 20.-The railroad
commission has announced that be-
ginning Tuesday, March 81, it will hold
hearings for the purpose of considering
the adoption of western classification
No. 30 and its modification to adopt it
to Iowa business. This classification
contains large number of articles that
are not included in the present Iowa
classification. 1t is in force on all the
roads west of Chicago to the Pacific
coast. The last classification adopted
by the Western Freight association and
adapted to Iowa business was No. 10,
nearly three years ago.
The western classification applies on
interstate business, but does not rule in
Iowa on account Of the state commits
sioners' classification. An important
matter that will come up at this time
will be the question Of increasing the
minimum carload weight from 10000,
as now provided by the rules Of the
Iowa commissioners. to $4,000 pounds,
as provided by the Western Freight as
ISOLATION. The roads have for long
time desired the Iowa commission to
make this change, but the matter has
never been brought to square issue.

When the verdict was announced
men and women climbed on the chairs
and shouted. The women crowded
around Mrs. Collins and Rugged and
kissed her until she was overcome and
tainted. She was taken out of the

attention to r. B. Parrot, her attorney,

STRANGE, BUT TRUE.
Wonderful Things That Happen to Men
Who Shoot.

Wonderful Things That Happen to Men
Who Shoot.
A well-known naturalist and sports
man was shooting quail one day near
the Pyramids, says Parsons Weekly.
Sighting an owl, he raised his gun, and
was about to pull the trigger when,
judge of his surprise, the bird suddenly
twisted in it's fight as if shot, and came
futtering to his feet. On examination
he discovered that the bird, although
in midair, had broken its wing through
the mere exertion of its fight.
When shooting on the moors in York
shire an unlucky sportsman had his one
solitary chance during the beat spoiled
by an extraordinary accident. Just
as he was shooting at a grouse flying
about 40 yards away, another bird,
which had evidently lost its presence
of mind, futtered in front of his gun,
receiving the whole of the charge in its
body. 1t was literally blown to pieces.
Booth, the well-known collector of
Brighton, once did the very same thing.
He was firing at a small flock of COM
mon pochard when the charge hung
fire, in consequence of which a rare
specimen, had time to fly into the line
of shot. 1t is now in the Brighton mu-
scum.
Apropos, strange freak of par
tridges may be mentioned. Upon GER
tain occasions they will fly far out to
sea and settle on the top of the waves
with as much unconcern as if they were
on a turnip field, although it means
certain death to every one of the covey.

How 1t Looks to the People of the Diff

How 1t Looks to the People of the Diff
ferent Planets.
The people of Neptune are often in
doubt as to whether or not the sun is
shining. They are so far away from
the great central orb that it is a mere
speck in the sky which only men with
good eyesight can see. Plenty of plan
cts that are swinging about in the heav-
ems look bigger than the sun to the peo-
pie of Neptune. Those on Uranus are
little better off.
Upon Mercury, on the other hand,
the sun comes up like an immense new
moon, and it burns with an intense
glare, and is so hot that the people there
can cook their breakfast by the light of
the morning sun. When the sun sets
on Mercury it is like large part of the
heavens dropping out of sight, and a
cold breeze Immediately springs up.
Even on Venus the sun looks so big as to
scare an inhabitant of the earth could
he be transported to that planet.
From Mars it looks a good deal
smaller than it does from the earth, but
d year ou MdrS 10 equal W TWO years Oh
the earth. Another curious thing
about Mars is that it has two moons, re-
volving in different directions. One of
these little moons is hardly bigger in
the sky than a good-sized cheese, but
it flies through space with the speed of
a cannon ball. This little moon goes
skimming close to the surface of Mars.
and the people there, with their long
distance guns, could easily shoot up and
hit it.
They have to look sharp on Mars to
see this little moon, which comes noise
lessly from one direction and disap-
pears around the corner in another, re-

The Medical Record OF April 20
discusses in a two column editorial
the advertisement OF special skill
in the newspapers. The Record is
not above the weakness of the pro-
fession in attacking such advertis-
ing, which it attributes to self In
terest. II the medical fraternity
are not moved in all OF their work
by that self interest that governs
the world, then are they a little
nearer the heavens than human
judgments place them. Why adj
vertising their skill should be laid
at the door of self interest, when
the whole fraternity is a unit in
maneuvering for free advertising,
is one OF those things that the
laity cannot find out. 1t seems to
be rule with the physicians Of
the regular schools that they may
advertise themselves all that Is
possible, so long as 1t does not
bear an advertising label and is
not regularly entered in the ad-
vertising accounts Of the news
papers. There is no doubt that
;he doctors would gain in dignity
md consistency If they would
;ome out openly and advertise in
. manly way what they attempt

Abandoned and Tries Suicide.

NEW YORK, May IA young
woman who gave her name as FL
myra Durand, and who claimed to
be the daughter Of wealthy cotton
merchant of New Orleans, attempt
ed suicide by taking morphine. She
was stopping at the residence OF
a Newark, n. j., police officer,
named Adams. He noticed the
young lady crying on the streets,
and learning her story sent her to
his own home. A physician, who
was called in, succeeded in saving
Miss Durand's life. According to
her statement she ran away from
New Orleans with DIR. De LONE, of
New York. They arrived in this
city last Tuesday on a steamer.
The doctor promised to marry her,
Miss Durand says, but disappeared
mysteriously. Despondent over
the turn things had taken she at
