In 1884 the maximum rate on the Hous-
ton and Texas Central to Houston was So 80
per bale. at which time cotton averaged
about 100 per cent higher than the presen,
price and the amount raised in Texas was
about so per cent of the present crop, thus
showing conclusively that the Texas rail
road commission has maintained an exces.
sive rate on cotton from interior points IN
the scaboard. in face OF the fact that the
tonnage on cotton and cotton products has
been doubled and the value is about one
half. 1t is well known fact that the
average flat car costs only about Sis.
and when loaded with forty bales of cotton
at the maximum rate will earn Sl20 or
two-thirds of Its cost in foIty eight hours

MARRIED AT HUDSON,
j. Walton Brown and Mrs. Verna
Gotham United.

Amid the festivities of the Elks' re-
union quiet wedding, which was cele-
brated at Hudson, and which joined to-
gether two people, rather we'll known
in st. Paul, was entirely lost sight of.
1t was not a case Of extreme youth on
either side, nor was there any parental
objection to be overcome, but it was
celebrated in Hudson just the same,
and has just been discovered.
j. Walton Brown, commercial man,
with headquarters in Omaha, was for
merly located here, and is a member of
st. Paul Lodge No. 594. While here he
was squire of the lodge. He attended
the reunion; and during his stay here
sought out Mrs. Verna Gotham, an
attractive little widow, who has been
in the Office of Supt. Pattee, of the
Great Northern road for the past nine
years, and whom Mr.. Brown has known
since he lived here. Mrs. Gotham, who
lives with her parents at ISL Iglehart
street, is the widow Of a former freight
auditor of the Iowa Central road at
Marshaltown, and found much to ad-
mire in Mr.. Brown. They agreed to
marry, but for fear his many Elk
friends would make life a burden to
him, he quietly took Mrs. Gotham to
the Presbyterian minister at Hudson,
on the morning of Monday, July 3, and
the knot was tied.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown went to Omaha
on their wedding trip, and Mr. Brown
having to go to the West, his wife came
back here yesterday morning, and will
remain here for a short time until he
returns, when she will go to him again
