Eastern Roads To Meet Gulf Rates.

Officials of Eastern lines are said to
be quietly discussing the ACCESSIBILITY
of making the Missouri river the bss-
ing point in prorating the grain ship
ments to the East instead of the Mis-
sissippi river. For several years West
ern lines have struggled to meet the
growing gulf competition from the
Southwestern lines. This will be
more aggressive after September /,
when the St. Louis and San Francisco
commences to operate its new line
into Kansas City. 1t will then have a
short line to Kansas City, Inc will be
in shape to take business to the gulf
ports as cheaply as any road. Without
help from Eastern lines, Western
a have been unable to successfully
compete with the Southern, notwith-
standing their reduction in rates.
Eastern lines last year refused to pro-
rate on a basis that would help them
out. Now Eastern officials are begin
ming to see their error, and are of the
opinion that they must do something to
keep the grain in old channels, or lose
a large mount of traffic. Rather than
have grain go to the gulf ports, East
ern officials are Inclined to make lower
rates, and think it is best to have the
basis of rates at the Missouri river. This
is the only way of which so low rates 20

1.-The killing of Diamond Dick" said
a railroad man this morning, "recalls
an interesting incident which happen
ed at Sanderson, a town down the q.
r., something vel two years ago.
Dick was at that time night Waterman
for the G. H. company and in The
'shanty'' one night q question foolish
ly arose between Diamond Dick and an
old track boss named Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick commended thai he could
use an ordinary chair with which to
defend himself from the attack of an
enemy quicker than Dick could a six
shooter. OF course, this was not pleas
ant medicine for Dick to swallow, and
he promptly informed the old man hat
1t WAS a FOOLS idea to attempt to draw
any comparison between q six-shoOter
and b common chair as implements of
war. The conversation became decid-
eddy animated and it was very evident
to those standing around that some
thing was coming and come it did.
Dick sprang to his feet, at the same
time reaching for his revolver, and the
old gentleman was equally as active
with the chair. Presently the report
OF a pistol rang out and the old man fell
back while Dicks q possessed
Mortified expression. Friends
standing by rushed to the assistance
OF both Of the participants and Dick
was found in a badly scared condition
while the old man was suffering from a
bullet wound in the leg. The affair
furnished a very exciting scene while
it lasted and it lasted long and loud
enough to attract the attention of
everyone in that part of the country.
The old man took the matter very COO
but seemed to think that he had not
been given a fair show in the duel.
Dick. on the other hand. could not ac-
count for how the weapon was discharg-
ed. He did not intend to shoot his OPP
ponent and the only conclusion ct
which he could arrive was that b
weapon was ready for action in his
pocket and that when he pulled it, he
unconsciously pulled the trigger and it
exploded. The affair Occasioued n
siderable comment for a time and the
sympathy was by long odds in favor OF
the old man, but the attending physi-
clan said that the old man would suf-
fer no bad effects from the wound ar
the trouble shortly assumed the color
of a Joke and was soon forgotten"

ham, Ala.
The building is large aud. roomy,
with five stands, co3densers and seed
carriers aud the latest improved ma
chinery for cleaning cotton of all dust
and trash. There are two presses,
both on q turn-table, so that when Que
press is having the bale wrapped aud
tied the other box is being filed, with
out any lost time. The bale is pressed
by steam 10 about three minutes, When
it is ready for tho other one. The cot
ton house has twenty rooms, aud each
| room win hold about ten bales Of seed
cotton, which is carried to the stands
by suction. The seed house is large,
roomy aud convenient.
The power that runs this immense
