Tho burial place is on the top OF .

them to live. Each compartment in
the wall is large enough to admit one

FLOUR STATISTICS BUREAU
Run at Expense-It May Be DiscOn-
tinued Shortly.

The freight representatives of the st. Paul
Chicago, or Southern lines as they are called,
met yesterday afternoon in the Office of Gem
eral Freight Agent Clark, of the Omaha, to
discuss plans for the future maintenance of
the flour statistics bureau, which has been
conducted for some time past in Minneapolis
for the diffusion of information concerning
the movement of -four Messrs. Somers,
Broughton and Martin, representing the
Great Northern, st. Paul & Duluth, and 500,
these being the lake, or Northern lines, were
present by request, and an effort was made
to persuade them to bear some portion of the
expense of the maintenance of the depart
ment. 1t is understood, however, that these
gentlemen did not look with much favor on
the proposition, and it is probable that steps
will be taken to discontinue the bureau, which
is run at a considerable outlay.
From Minneapolis the circulars containing
reports Of the movement of flour on the
various lines were sent to all the other lines,
but in the future the freight representatives
will probably adopt more informal method
of keeping each other advised as to what is
being carried.
Among the freight men present were Gen
eral Freight Agent Clark, of the Omaha
Hopkins, of the Minneapolis G. St. Louis
Stohr, of the Chicago Great Western, and
Assistant General Freight Agent Jones, of
the Milwaukee. The Wisconsin Central and
Burlington lines were also represented.
At the conclusion of this meeting the
Northern committee of the Western Freight
association, of which Mr.. Clark is chairman
held short session.

TEN-RIDE TICKETS.
On May 4 Trans-MissOuri Roads Will
Resume Sale of Them.

CHICAGO, April 24-There is chance at last
that the question of party rates that has been
vexing the Western roads for so long will be
settled. The executive officers Of the trans
Missouri roads, who have been in session for
two days considering this matter, finished
their work today, after reaching a decision
that on May they will resume generally the
sale Of ten-ride tickets. The sale of these
tickets will be confined strictly to organized
parties and they will be refused to brokers
and to the public generally. 1t is said that
the same agreement will be reached by the
roads of the Western Passenger association
in the territory east Of the Missouri river,
thus making the sale of the tickets uniform
throughout all the territories of the associa-
tion.
The Eastern roads, that for two days have
been considering the advisability of the adop-
ton Of an Interchangeable thousand-mile tick
ct, adjourned today after deciding, that as the
matter will have to be referred in any event
to the general officers, 1t might as well be
settled by a joint meeting of the passenger
agents and the general officers. The meeting
will be arranged by Chairman Donald, of the
Central passenger committee, for some day
within the next ten days.
