THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION ABOUT TO ADOPT A
NEW POLICY.
ROADS HAVE BEEN MULCTED.
IN MANY CASES FAVORED RATES
HAVE BEEN A NATTER OF NE
CESSITY.
GAME OF STAND AND DELIVER.
Companies Have Been Compelled to
Take Business at What They
Could Get for 1t.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The interstate COM
merce officials in Chicago are, it is said, plan
ming to make trouble for some of the large
shippers who have been receiving cut rates
from the roads. No actual steps have been
taken as yet but it is said that the officers
of the law will be after the large grain and
packing house shippers. This will be the first
time that an effort has been made to get after
the shippers for taking as low rates as they
have been able to procure from the roads.
1t is a fact, however, that in the majority
of cases which the interstate commerce COM
mission has taken up in this city, the shipper
has been the chief offender, as in most cases
the railroad man is not going to offer to re-
duce rates unless he is assured that he must
do so in order to get business. The officials
of the commission say that in many cases
where reduced rates have been made in favor
OF certain shippers 1t has been practically a
game of stand and deliver on the part Of the
shipper, and the roads have been compelled
in large measure to take the business for just
what they could get for it. This has been the
case every year out Of Chicago Just before the
opening Of navigation. The railroad official u.s.
Of course, equally guilty with the shipper but
the commission has devoted all of it's time Of
late years to the railroad men and it is now

Peen Intosa Tbief,s stomach.

CLEVELAND, April 3.-George Woods is in
jail here accused of stealing. In making the
arrest the man was shot twice, and one of
the bullets is in his arm but cannot be To-
Gated. His plumber was all taken from him
except a tiny watch. 1t was suggested that
Wood be taken to the Case School of APP
piled Science tomorrow and the bullet To-
Gated by means of the Roentgen rays. The
scientists and the prisoner both gave their
assent Jailer William Hassett suggested that
it might be a good plan to shadowgraph the
mans stomach in order to see if, as is sus-
pected, he swallowed the watch. The profess
sors say they will make the attempt, but the
prisoner will be kept in ignorance of this
phase of the operation.

COUNTY
Gov. Leedy's Day.

There is every prospect of a big
crowd in Wellington next Wednes-
day, at which time Senator Leedy,
the Populist candidate for Governor,
will speak. 1t is pretty early in the
campaign for demonstration in the
way of a parade but some of the
townships nevertheless are coming
with their banners. We should like
to see every township take part in
the parade. Every township will
at least have large delegations pres
ent at the speaking. Gov. Leedy is
an able campaigner. There will
HIso Ue other speakers here. EX-
Senator Martin will speak at night.
Lei everybody stop work on that
day and come to Wellington. What
is the use of working away all the
time shoveling grain in at the
mouth of the sack when there is a
big leak in the bottom. Let US find
out how to stop that leak and then
we can go to shoveling again with
more hope of filling the sack. Let
everybody come.

The old trick of reporting in re.
mote parts OF the county that this
man or that man, prominent Popu
lists, has joined the Republicans, is
being resorted to again this year.
A. c. Lambe is one victim that has
been reported to have deserted the
ranks. Mr.. Lambe was never more
anxious for the success of the PEG.
pies party than now. So far as our
information reaches not a single
Populist has deserted. They are all
solid as rock. In the name of pa
triotism what inducements are there
for a Populist to go over to the
weak and beggarly elements of Re.
.publicanism at this time? If there
have been reasons heretofore to re-
volt from that party, they are inten-
sihed ten fold at this time. In the
