a true statement of the affair so
wonderfully mi>represented by

three children, and returned to
her mother in Muncie. Indiana,
MIS-. Swiger returned with his
children to his former home,
near this place, and since that
time, his sister has lived with
them. About two months ago
Mrs. Swiger visited the family
of Mr.. Rittenhouse, who were
special friends of hers ana who
live within one mile of Mr.. Swig-
er's. While visiting there, she
made several attempts to get the
little six year old girl to leave
its papa and go home with her
but failing in her attempts. she
left the vicinity, supposed to
have returned to her home in
Indiana. Yet rumor says she
remained with her special friends
IN this community under disguise.
On Saturday morning April 24tn
Mrs. Swiger's special friends
visited tie grocery which is next
door from Mrs, Swiger's dwell.

they hastily returned to Mrs.
Swiger with the desired news.
She Immediately came up, finding
the little children playing In the
yard, tried to persuade the little
girl away again, this the little
refused to do. Yet the woman
being firm in her interests seized
the child, despite her screams
for help from her aunt, placed
her in the carriage and drove
rapidly towards the B. 6 o. rail

BOUND TO CUT RATES.
Manufacturers Join With the
Merchants Freighting
Association.
A Big Meeting of the Council Of
Associated Industries to Be
Called.

The Manufacturers and Producers As.
sociaticn has taken up in earnest the
work started by the Merchants Freight
ing As As,ociation-that of making q fight
Tor better rats on goods shipped from
this city 10 the coast points. At recent
meeting President Kerr appointed COM
mittee of twenty-five to cooperate with
the fleighting association, and nearly all
who were appointed have signified their
willingness to serve for what they nsider
the benefit of the entire community.
The executive committee of the manu-
fac urers held a meeting yesterday and
the movement received a further i'm
petu<. President Kerr stated that for q
long time past the merchants and manu-
facturers of San Francisco have been
sadly handicapped by the exorbitant rates
the steamship companies have charged
for freight sent north OF the Oregon line
and south OF Port Hartford. The reason
for his is that these lines are but part of
railroad systems with which they operate.
These companies have assumed the
right of parceling out to the merchants IS Of
the several sections of the coast what ter
ritories they shall and shall not operate
in, and the jobber who dIsregards this
assumed right will find himself con-
fronted with fre ght rates so high that be
will be obliged TO get back upon his own
ground again.
The railI Dads nd that it is more profit
able 10 make long hauls of freight from
Eastern points % the north and the south
than it is TO let their steamers carry goods
made and sold in San Francisco to coast
buyers outside of the territory mentioned.
Mr.. Kerr added that this matter is of
great I'M portance to every man, woman
and child in this city, for upon the throw
ing off of this freigh ht yoke depends the
prosperity and standing of the city by
the Golden Gate. While the movement
on the part of the manufacturers Is prac-
tically independent of that OF the Mer-
chants Freighting Association. still they
will work together to the same end and
unite their entire strength on the main
point, the reduction of freight rates.
He suggested that as the movement
should be general all of the commercial
bodies be asked to cooperate. This can
best be accomplished by calling a meeting
OF the Council of Associated Industries.
This body re presents all of the trades and
industries and many'of the organizations
devoted to the interests thereof. The
president was directed to com m unicate
with the president of the council and re-
quest him to call meeting of that body.

talked for promi>e that she might DO the

tyre of another class that helps keep
the Elliott doorbell busy.
But what mean things people can say,
SAID Mrs. Elliott, evealing little more OF
the sea of human nature In which the
ElliottS are almost enSulted. 'Our iIlehus
tell Us that Mrs So and So says this and
that; that when Grace gets the money
she'll go back on those that raised her; F.;
that it was rr badly some other child we
got; that we knew the parents were rich
and knew what We were doing; that Grace
will never get a cent, anu all sorts OF mean
things.
Then there are the people who come
with all sorts of plans TO get into the case,
with money to loan, with detective WORK
