souri, Lines.

After their delay of day in beginning
their bi-monthly meeting. the Western freight
men attacked business yesterday morning, and
held two sessions at Lake Park hotel. The at
tendance was not so large as at first con-
jectured. w. w. Hosmer, of Chicago, secre-
tary Of the body, presided over the meeting
The anticipated discussion of the grain rates
did not go through. The matter was referred
to committee, which will check out rates
at meeting to be held tomorrow in Chicago.
The same thing was done with the matter of
soft coal rates, a committee of Lake Superior
and Chicago lines to decide upon them at q
meeting for Tuesday in Chicago Some prog
ress was made on the routine docket, and the
association hopes to conclude It's business
with todays session.
1t is barely possible that rates on wheat,
corn and fax now in force may be REDUCED
by Missouri lines. In that event all lines in
terested will meet rates. 1t Is possible that a
rate Of cents will be made. Kansas City to
st. Louis, and cents to Chicago, which is
cents lower than the present rate.
Several lines members of the association
are not represented, which is taken as an
i'll omen by many.

Panic in tho Guaranty Loan.

A small fame of fire was seen issuing from
one of the windows on the ninth floor OF
the Guaranty Loan building last evening at
8 o'clock. The fire department was sum-
moned, but their efforts were not needed, as
the element preyed only awning one
of the windows of the law offices of J. F,
Williamson, Nos. 929 to 933. The origin was
attributed to lighted match being dropped
on 1t from above. The report that the Guar
anty Loan was aire created temporary ex-
element in the building. During the even
ing but one of the elevators is run, but in a
twinkling the others were started up and
there was hurried exit of people from many
of the offices. Their fears were soon ap-
peased.

The cut in bituminous coal rate to 70 cents

He May Return a Millionaire.

The REGISTERS faithful press-turn-
er, "Uncle" Jesse Peterson, went to
Washington on Tuesday, having been
called there by the death of his aunt.
1t is rumored that Uncle Jesse will re-
turn a wealthy man, as the deceased
is reported to have left him all her
property, including several houses and
lots. If Uncle Jesse were worth a
million, however, he couldn t look more
imposing than when he left for the
city. With his long frock coat, red
gloves and other gorgeous wearing ap-
parel he could easily have been mis-
taken for presiding elder. We hope
his dreams of wealth may be realized
providing it doesn't make him too
stuck up or cause the death of Uncle
Levi Ross from jealousy

The Snake Season Opening Up Well.

One day last week the canal repair
hands in charge of Foreman Wesley
Burgan had an interesting experience
with snakes. At a point short dis
lance this side of Dam No. 4 the men
were digging into the side Of hill to
get loose earth, when they uncovered
a den of snakes. Big snakes and lit
tie snakes began to wriggle in every dl-
rection, and the men were consider
ably startled for moment or two.
Then they began to slay the serpents.
In a short time they had killed five
copper snakes from three to four feet
in length, and three big black snakes,
the largest of which was monster SIX
feet 10 inches in length and the small
est three feet seven inches. A num-
Der of the reptiles escaped by crawl
ing back into a crevice between two
lodges of rock where it was difficult to
get at them. Mr.. Thomas Kearfoot
gave US the particulars of the occur
renee, and says it is gospel truth.
But that's the only sort Of snake sto-
ries the REGISTER tells.

They Lost Their Cunning.

Mr. Robert G. Miller has two cap
tive red foxes at his place in Shep-
herdstown-a male and female of
full growth and in excellent condition.
He bought them from young Bob Ship
ley, who caught them and sold them
to Mr.. Miller. The foxes were caught
in steel trap in The Neck" above
town. The female was caught one
night last week, and the next night
her mate so far forgot his cunning as
to get his foot in the same steel clasp.
1t was evident that young ones were
left in the den, but they could not be
found. The male is a pretty vicious
fellow, but the female appears very
meek and subdued. Mr.. Miller will
kill them and dress their pelts unless
he can sell them to better advantage
alive.
