Lamberton Star: A. H. Gerhard,

us that the grain and warehouse
commission met Thursday. and
Representative Jas. Larson, who
introduced bill which provides for
the reduction of freight rates on
coal and grain, appeared before the
commission. There were also pres
ent the general freight agents of the
different railroads. The commits
sion will report March 18th, and at
the meeting mentioned, practically
promised a reduction of two per
cent. per hundred on coal and grain

Several parties here were affected
from financial standpoint by the
derailing and destruction by fire of
a railroad mail car, running between
Pasadena, CAL, ana Omaha, several
weeks ago. The facts are just COM
ing to the surface. Several bank
checks made payable to local parties,
and one or more postoffice orders,
in favor of Redwood Falls people,
were on the mail car and all des-
troyed by fire. The bank checks
will be issued in duplicate as soon
as it becomes apparent that they
were on the Inflated train, but the
recovery of the money mentioned in
the orders will probably require six
months or more, and will call for
considerable of correspondence with
the money order department and
with the Offices where the orders
we're issued.

engine struck the switch leading to
the south side of the depot the con-
