ROCK ISLAND NEW RATES.
Lower Tariff Announced for Kansas
Grain Shippers.

tram Shippers
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad yesterday announced its new
freight tariffs from points in Kansas
to Kansas City. Atchison, Leavenvvorth
and St. Joseph. The Santa Fe and
Burlington are expected to follow suit
within q few days. The new tariffs
show a material reduction in freight
rates and apply not only to Missouri
river markets. but to many points to
the north. east and south. This action
on the part Of the roads amounts to a
voluntary restoration of rates and
means that the Injunction suits against
the roads VIII be dismissed. Some of
the rates are lower than were in effect
before the struggle against discrimina-
ton commenced.
Commissioner Valandingham Of the
bureau Of transportation said yester-
day.
ANY one familiar with rate making
knows that the rates that have pre-
vailed on grain for the past ninety days
have been unrenune ratiVe to the rail-
roads and have been war measures
only While Kansas has prOfited by
them, the profit has not been nearly
so great as it would had the rates
been reduced to Kansas City as well
as other markets. The discrimination
against Kansas City forced the board
or trade TO axe the matter INTO Cqur--
Before the date set for hearing how
ever Mr.. Parker OF the Miss uri Pa
ci1ic agreed with the transportation
committee Of the board of trade that
the rates IN Kansas TO Kansas City
were too high ana that when restora-
tiou in through rates was made there
would be reductions 10 kansas City and
other Missouri river points.
HE also promised basis of through
rates from this line that would en-
able the shipper of Kansas to select
any of the markets of Kansas City st
Louis. New Orleans or Other points.
While the Kansas City basis was not
as low as We wanted it, it was decided
to accept il. and. believing that the
other through lines were fighting ral-
roads and not Kansas City We agreed
ing in the Injunction suits brought be-
fore Judge Thayer in the United States
court and originally set for hearing on

time an adjustment would be arrived

THAT this action is proper one IS
shown by the fact that in the agree

Blood-Staiued Garments Found In q
Box Car at Sioux City.
Sioux City, Iowa, April 81. Evidences
Of a murder of which John II. Bro wnrigg,
late of Dublin, Ireland, is supposed to
have been the victim, have been found by
the Sioux City police in Chicago, Burling-
ton aud Northern box car recently received
here from some point in Missouri not yet
known to the officers. The car was switched
into the yards here to be loaded with ties.
The men engag gcd III the work, on opening
it, discovered on the floor blood-staIed
canvas coat, hat, shirt, and newspaper.
The coat and hat were cut in several
places, as though a knife had been thrust
through them. In the coat pocket was a
letter written by Edward s. Roe, of Dub
lin. to John l.. Roe, OF Union. Vancouver
Island. introducing John II. Brownrigg,
who, it was explained, would leave Novem-
Der l, 1895, for the latter place. to locate.
The local authorities think Brownrigg
was murdered in the car and his body thro wn
out. They are investigating, with view
to ascertaining its starting point. 1t has
already been traced to st. Louis, but as
the trains for this section are all made
up there, it is by no means certain that the
clothing was left in the car before that city
was reached.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE OF AN INDIANAPOLIS GENTLEMAN

No trouble is more common or more mis-

Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
