FAST FREIGHT TRAINS.
Twenty-Four- Hours Saved From New
York to St. Paul.

The old way of securing business by
cutting rates appears to have gone out
Of date, and the new way of securing
the same end, is by forming combi-
nations and running fast freight trains
between Eastern terminals and the
Northwest. This scheme has only
come into use, during the past few
months, but it appears to be working
well. The Baltimore & Ohio in connec-
ton with certain Western roads, has
had the long end of the business up to
date, but today the Eastern lines will
put in a new tariff. and schedule which
will revolutiopize 9west-bound freight
traffic. The Merchants Despatch, oper-
ating over the New York Central
Michigan Central and Lake Shore, the
Trades Despatch, and the Star Union,
both operating over well-known lines,
have formed combinations to revclu-
tionize the trade and beat all freight
records. 1t is said that the new schedu-
les will land freight in Kansas City,
ST. Joseph, Omaha, Council Bluffs, St
Paul and Minneapolis, from New York,
in 81 hours cut of "a to 36 hours over
freight express time. 1t is generally
believed that the scheme will precipi-
tate trouble, as the leading Eastern
lines have arranged to run their trains

There is more Catarrh in this section

KEEP UP THE TARIFFS.
Iowa Grain Dealers Association
Protest Against Reduction.


Protest Against Reduction.
The grain men Of Iowa have taken
an entirely new stand in the matter of
rates, and for once in the life Of rail-
roads, they find themselves the recipi-
ents of protests against reduction in
tarl1fs. The news comes that the Grain
Dealers Association of Iowa, has filed
a protest with all the railroads doing
business in the state, against proposed
reduction in corn rates. The dealers
claim that they have on hand a very
large supply Of corn which is at present
glut in the market. If it was forced
on the market by the application Of
freight rates, the effect on the very
select dealers association would be
ruinous, and would ruin the market
which has been built up with a great
deal of trouble and pains. The dealers
are making plea for steady rates in
order to preserve the present status Of
the market
1T is evident that the Grain Dealers
association does not represent the aver
age FARMER who wants to see his corn
IN the open market, but rather a select
crowd Of manipulators who are seeking
to get giltedged prices for their own
stock on hand

Hanley to his knees. He staggered up, but
was met by another right hook on the jaw,
which sent him down and out.

party, ''who undertook to aid the board
last year, in their selection OF teachers,
by an anonymous letter.
There are four new members on the
board this year, and If our anonymous
friends wish to aid them in the selec'
ton of teachers, / suggest that they
sign their own names and thus act IN O
more honorable manner than they did
last year. will add for the benefit Of
the friends ~ that 1t is known who
wrote the letter.
In answer to "Citizen's" plea OF the
9th ult., I would say that, as every
one knows, the teachers we're chosen In
o body, last year, and the board was
censured for it.
l would like to ask "Citizan." II
he has visited all of the different
school-rooms and il be Is satisfied with
the teachers and their ways of teaching,
or il he ia simply guessing at the state
of affairsP
1t certainly will be shameful to re-
