SITUATION rs TO RATES
LOCAL TARIFFS MAINTAINED, BUT
THROUGH RATES sHAKY.
The VanderbiIts and the Chicago &
AIton-MisceIIaneo and Per-
sOnaI Railway News.

While local rates from Indianapolis are
being maintained, on through business
there is Generalization which can hardly
be comprehended. For some weeks the rates
on hog products have been in bad shape,
they now being but 50 per cent. of the
scheduled tariff, and W Tain the last week
the rate war has reached dairy products,
which have for years been the best MAIN
tanned of any class of freights. At pres
ent the Union Star line and the Merchants
Despatch, which handle the bulk of the
dairy products. are fighting each other. The
tariff rates from Illinois and Indiana are
based on 65 cents per 100 pounds on eggs
and 70 cents per 100 pounds on poultry,
Chicago to New York. on Saturday the
Union line and the Merchants Despatch,
it is alleged, accepted dairy freights at less
than half the tariff rates-eggs at 30 cents
per 100 pounds and poultry at 40 cents, aid
it is stated by freight man that, not be-
ing content with cutting rates on dairy
products, one of the lines was yesterday
offering to cut the rate on poultry and eggs
cents lower. To the credit of freight rep
resentatives of the various lines here, they
are said to be getting better rates than are
obtained at any other point in the West,
so far as initial lines are concerned. In
what is known as the Chicago and Ohio
river territory both freight and passenger
rates are well held. Last week the repre-
sentatives of the three lines doing business
between Indianapolis and Chicago knew
that Klondilse party of eighteen intended
to travel via Chicago. The local repre-
sentatives got together. ascertained how the
percentages stood, and found that the
Monon was behind in it's percentage on par
business of that kind The Big Four and
the Panhandle passenger OFFICIALS permitted
the Monon to take the Klondkers at party
the rate cutting. Similar cases are often
arising in the Chicago and Ohio river ter
ritory and the local representatives get to-
gether and readily agree upon some plan
by which the line getting the business gets
a good rate.

No Anti-ScaIping Law Expected Soon.
The Western roads have given up hope
for the time being of the passage of the
anti-scalping bill. There was no doubt that
1t would have passed had not the war come
on, and the roads believe that it will be
passed as soon as the war is over. That is,
however, so indefinite time that the roads
have determined to make all of their ar
rangements for this year. on the SUPPOSE
ton that the bill will not be passed. Some
OF the roads were of the opinion that if
pressure was brought to bear the bill might
be forced through, but The great majority
not be a patriotic move, to say the least, to
urge their own legislation at time when
the time of Congress is so taken up with
war and war preparations. They will wait
for a more opportune time TO secure the
passage of the bill, but are determined,
however, that it shall not be dropped and
will try to have it brought UP at the first
available Opportunity

The Flag.

10, in the night dry rods have bloomed
In flowers of red and white and blue;
On ev'ry staff the dawn's illumed
The glorious banner waves anew!
No blossom this, to droop and fade
In sulph' rous smoke OF belching guns;
Its roots We're Set its tints were laid
In the best blood of Freedoms sons.
Across its hues the eyes of men
Flash each 70 each with patriot fire,
And heroes press its sacred stem
To lips that SMILE as they expire.
The sluggish blood, by commerce chilled.
LEAFS TO its front with sudden pride
And children gaze. with bOsoms thrilled
At this their heritage and guide.

The soldier is provided with the "a

country canine and chase him around

The Ellis men worked up the old pop

political division known as a county

further that the whole people must

allow him to select the congressional
delegation, placing thereon men who

had not been in the water for more than
80 years. During this heightened period
the sea had receded, and the land had
formed to the extent of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
from the long exposure to the sun and

sides, and, in some cases. the very
planking had been stolen for firewood.
