Rock Island to Establish a 100
Pound Basis
For the Transportation of Live
Stock on Western Lines.
A BLOW TO SHIPPERS.
Will Materially Increase Ex-
pense of Shipments.
Interesting Items of a neral
and Local Nature.

The general freight Office of the Rock
Island in this city announces that after
December charges for the transporta-
ton of live stock west of the Missouri
river viii be made by the 100 pounds
instead of by the car load, as hereto
fore.
This is the basis on which the charge
for live stock transportation into the
Chicago and St.Louis markets has been
made for the past eight years. It is
also the basis established by the Santa
Fe about two years ago, and at that
time caused great agitation among
western shippers.
board of railroad commissioners in an
sumed. The attempt proved ineffect-
ual.
Railroad officials contend that the 100
pond basis is the only just way of
charging for live stock transportation.
Shippers are dissatisfied with it because
it means that they can no longer profit
by crOwding cattle into cars. Freight
men say that under the car load sys-
tenn shippers very often crowd the cars
to such an extent as to injure and kill
cattle, and afterWard bring claims for
damages against the railroad compa-
nies
The Rock Island people state that
they expect vigorous protests from
shippers along the line because of the
change in the method of charging for
live stock, but further state that pro-
tests will be of no avail.

Jacob Jones of Emporia Meets With
an Accident

Emporia, Nov. 18.-Jacob o. Jones,
one of the towns oldest and best known
citizens was badly hurt Wednesday
evening.
MI. Jones owns a ranch thirteen
miles northeast of town. He started for
the ranch with a load of hog wire.
When crossing a railroad track, about
one and One-half miles southeast of
Lang, the wagon was Wrenched and
as Mr.. Jones was sitting on the top of
one of the rolls of wire, he was pitched
into a ditch head first.
This occurred about 6 o'clock About
o'clock he was found by some farmers
who knew him. They supposed that he
was on his way to his son who lives on
the ranch. and thinking him only a
little dazed by the fall, they caught his
team, which was grazing further up
the road, and started him on his way.
1t appears that Mr.. Jones injuries were
more severe than they thought. He was
found later on the road, a good ways
from his ranch, by other people who
knew him and again he was put on the
right track. 1t appears that during this
time Mr.. Jones was not conscious of
what had happened His horses not be-
ing guided. finally turned and returned
to town. Mr.. Jones unhitched and put
them in the barn and went into the
house. One of the neighbors who had
found Mr.. Jones, feeling uneasy about
him, had in the meantime gone to the
ranch and told his son. His father, not
having appeared at the place, the son
came into town, arriving shortly after
the father.

State Senator w. P Low, who has for

PASS FORGERY NOT A CRIME.
Colorado Judge Rules That Free
Fermentation Has No Value.

Denver, Nov 18.-The laws of Col
orado do not make it a crime to forge
a railroad pass. That in substance is
the ruling of Judge LIE Fevre of the
West Side criminal court in passing
upon a motion by Attorney Richmond
in the Vallejo Ward ticket forgery case
that no evidence be introduced in the
case
Vallejo Ward. was arrested last June
at the instance of w. r. Burnham and
r. L. Hinckley, ticket brokers, and the
Union Pacific Railroad company, for
forging an employees pass over the I'm
ion Pacific and attempting to sell it to
for trial here Attorney Richmond ar
gued for the defendant, claiming that
there had been no forgery committed
as a railroad pass is a gift and does
not imply a contract. It has no value
as its disposition does not injure the
railroad
Assistant District Attorney Prescott,
who was prosecuting the case. argued
to show the intention to commit fraud
when Judge LIE Fevre called his atten-
ton to the information, saying that it
was not a question of intention. AS to
his statement that the pass, even as a
gift, is a contract, the judge asked Mr.
Prescott where there was any law in
support of his statement
Judge LIE F'evre ruled that the stat
utes do not enumerate railroad passes
as one of the instruments which NAV
be the subject of forgery. Inasmuch as
a pass is a gift, and may be recalled a +
any moment, even without notice. it
does not furnish the basis of any cause
of action and cannot therefore be call
ed a contract
The jury was instructed to return a
verdict of not guilty as charged and
the case was dismissed

A PALAT1AL TRAIN.
Engine and Cars Look Alike on the
New Alton Sarvica

Chicago, Nov. 18.-A railroad train
said to be one of the finest in the world
was exhibited by the Chicago & Alton
company in the Union station here. It
is one of two that was put in service
between Chicago and st. Louis, known
as the ALTON limited .
A conspicuous feature is the uniform
color of the cars and the engine This
is combination of maroon and Wine
The train is made up of a postal car
a combination passenger and baggage
car, a combination parlor chair car
and coach, parlor chair car, a cafe,
buffet and smoking car and a Pullman
parlor observation car.
The cars are all monsters in size and
the furnishings are rich, but impressive
in their plainness. The vestibules are
full width, Gothic windows prevail
steam is used for heating and electric
bulbs for lighting. All the metal work
and even the silverware in the buffet
are of special design.
Each car represents an expenditure
of $4,000 and the engine S11 600, which
brings the total cost of each train up
to s71.000. Each car seats eighty per-
sons.
