Collector Kennel replied as follows:
Collector has no authority to employ any
one to assist you, but have wired the COM
missioner Of internal revenue the situation.
If the sheriff cannot handle the case, why
not call upon the governor?
Last week was an unlucky one for
Arkansas moonshinerS, and the reVe-
nue. officers did much good work. AS
the result of two well planned and ex-
ecuted raids, seven men were captur-
ed and five Illicit distilleries destroyed.
Forty miles northwest of Searcy, in
the mountains of Cleburn county, Is a
postoffice known as Gin. Gin is To-
Gated in a territory infested by Illicit
distillers, who have hitherto enjoyed
immunity from the interference of
revenue officers. But Raiding Deputy
j. T. Burros planned to throw a bomb
she'll into their camp.
About ten days ago he disguised
himself as a rough mountaineer and
went into the vicinity to familiarize
himself with the situation. Return
ing to Little Rock, Mr.. Burros per-
fected the details of the raid, secured
his posse, and late last week left for
the scene. The posse consisted Of
seven or eight brave men. They reach
ed the neighborhood of Gin about 4
o'clock Saturday morning and conceal
ed themselves near the stills. When
the moonshiners appeared the officers
pounced upon and captured them, Civ
ing them no opportunity to escape

men OF the Cream City, and they of the
opinion that rates to the East are being
shaded
Mr.. Schroeder stated yesterday that he was
convinced that not only is the rate made by
the Western lines much reduced. but that the
Eastern lines, whose representatives are up
in this territory, instead of getting 20 cents
all rail and IS cents across the lake from Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Manitowoo and Mackinaw
City, are shading the authorized tariff not
less than 4 cents hundred.
This will work an inequality upon the peo-
pie of Milwaukee, and Mr. Schroeder's visit
is for the purpose of securing information
with which to bring the lines at Milwaukee
to meet the reduction.
He left for home last night.

There will be no change in the time
of the eastbound train under the
change contemplated.
The 500 road is also making ar
rangements for a change in time for
it's cross-country train. This train now
leaves st. Paul at $40 a. m. daily, and,
owing to the change made by the
other lines, which is effective next Sun
day, 1t has been decided to follow suit.
AS soon as 1t can be ascertained just
what changes can be made in the con-
nections with the Canadian Pacific, the
new schedule will be announced. The
probability is that the coast train will
start out during the afternoon, instead
of during the morning as at present.

proved to be that from a steamer, and she
skirted the fleet and attempted to evade
US. We were steaming slowly, but just be-
fore she came on line with us some one
sang out that she was a Spaniard. Imme-
