THE following interesting story
comes from the south. Trone Wilson,
an aged colored convict, who was par
doned by Gov. Atkinson the other day,
is supposed to be the last slave in this
country to be given his freedom. When
the emancipation proclamation was is
sued he was charged with being acccs-
sorry to a murder and was sent to the
pcnitentiary, where he remained until
pardoned.

IT is doubtless a delicate recogni-
ton of the inalienable rights of the
ruling race in that region that causes
the wardens of the county Jail at
PhoeniX, A. T., to put the Mexican pris-
oners on the lower floor and reserve
the upper story for American prison
ers. There are now II prisoners in
leans. The latter have the upper story
entirely to themselves. This is in the
region where little while ago it was
customary to speal, of so many white
men and so many MeXicans, or, as one
miner put it in the ease of a mining ac-
cident, the loss was "sevcn souls and
five Mexicans."

IT is wclI-lnown fact that rats and
mice do not infcst a house at the same
time. Working upon the hint as to the
nature of rodents, n. K. Laureson, of
Niclsburg, Miss, has adopted a scheme
by which he keeps himself rid of 10th
pests. This he accomplishes by cap
turing young rat and training him to
catch mice. This singular mouser,
whose name, by the way, is Gar, is
doubtless the most successful one on
record. lie has been taught to pouuce
upon a mouse on short order, without
fear and without favor, and he shows
no mercy OF course, he can follow the
mice into close quarters, and has never
been known tolose quarry. Strange
to relate, large rats have given the
house the go-by also,seeming TO under
stand that the place belongs to Gar,
and that there must be no encroach-
ment upon his prerogative.

No BETTER picture of the cowboys
peculiar traits and manners could be
had than that indicated in outline by
little incident in Tucson, A. T., u few
days ago. A cowboy was brought into
Tucson from range in the st. Simon
valley to be treated for a wounded in
step, which had been shattered by n
pistol bullet of big caliber. The shoot
ing, it was explained, occurred during
a roundup. There was no quarrel be-
tween the injured man and the man
who shot him, but one morning when
they got out the air was pretty crispy,
an they began shooting at each other
to increase the circulation of their
blood"

CHANGES IN FREIGHT RATES.
MISSOURI PACIFIC AND ROCK ISLAND
ANNOUNCE THEM.
Sweeping Decision Concerning Brok-
ers-New York Produce Exchange
Opens n Big FiEht-Eastern
Corn Rate Advanced.

There are reliable Indications that the
freight rate war in the West win continue
indefinitely and that it will ultimately
spread until all classes of freight are in
Volved. The lines seem to be hungry for
each others gore, and whenever there is
an effort made to patch UP the trouble it
breaks out again in new spot worse than
over. There have been many efforts made to
have the rate on packing house freight cut.
and traffic managers, with promise of
extra trains each Gay, have had hard work
to keep the knife out of the tariff. Yester-
day the ssouri Pacific announced cut
on canned goods west from the Mississippi
river. The cut takes canned goods from
fifth class freight, and puts the rate cents
per hundred under that class. This makes
an interesting difference. and it will GER
tainly be met by the other lines and may
lead off to other articles. Canned goods
comprise large per cent of freight ship
ments. and the cut is of enough Importance
to cause a serious disturbance of rates in
the territory affected.
The Rock island has announced a mod
ifcation of its wheat tariff from the West
to points on the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers that makes a difference of several
cents per hundred between the rivers
This is in line with the action that 1t is
believed will heal the troubles teat caused
the suits recently filed in the federal court
and it is expected that all other principal
lines will shortly follow the lead. The ac-
ton of the lines in charging as much for
hauling Il car of grain from Wichita TO
Kansas City ns wouT be charged for TAX
ing the same car to ST Louis was so clear
ly wrong that the shippers and the inter-
state commerce commission were quite un-
able to see in it any sort of business
proposition except a boom for the ST.

against Kansas City. This leaves the local
reasonable charge foe the additional mile.

Sweeping Decision by the Arbitrator
of the Western Association,

Chicago, Sept. 16.-An important decision
was made to-day by the arbitrators in an
appeal from the Local Passenger Associa-
ton at Kansas City. The case was one
where local agent sold TO a customer of
a broker a ticket at full rates. There was
no underhanded operation in the sale of
the ticket, but the agent was found guilty
of an infraction of the association rule
prohibiting deals with brokers under any
circumstances. The agent was fined and
appealed. The arbitrator has upheld the
decision of the local association. he finding
that the responsibility rests upon members
of the local associa ton to see that no
broker is giving facilities for handling airy
form of transferable ticket. The decision
is very sweeping in its character.
