FREIGHT CARS BY TROLLEY.
Farmers of Wisconsin, Towns Are to
Have BETTER Transportation
Facilities.


The work OF the farmers who reside
between Appleton and Seymour, Wis,
for an electric street car line to connect
the two cities has taken the novel turn
OF the building of freight line. 1t ap-
pears that the farmers who are out
looking for capital to build the line are
not after a, purely passenger service,
but expect to have something in the
line of freight trains TO ship their grain
TO the Appleton elevators.
If this plan be adopted it will be an
innovation in the problem of electrical
transit. At first 1t was proposed to run
cars which would accommodate the
farmers with n small amount of bag
gage, such as baskets and other light
articles, trailer or combination
coach being run. Now the plan has de-
veloped into the proposition to run n
train of freight cars daily for the trans
fer of the produce.

year 1863. Up to 1S46. these rates
were, not exceeding 300 miles, 10
cents. In 1851, these rates were re-
duced, and in 1868 a uniform rate, re-
gardless of distance was fixed at three
cents. In 1883 the rate was reduced,
and the two cent stamp, which we now
have, was adopted. From Key West,
Florida, to Ounalasl1a, Alaska, said to
be the most widely separated post
offices within the territory Of the
United States, 1t is 6,271 miles, and yet
the two cent stamp will insure the car
riage of a letter from one of these
points 10 the other. 1t woud be diff
cult to overestimate the benefits that
are derived from low and uniform
postal rate. At this very moment,
there are thousands of letters, touch
ing every conceivable human interest,
rushing from the east to the west,
from the west to the east, from the
north to the south, and from the south
to the north. These unbroken lines
constitute a stronger force in binding
our people so widely separated and with
such diversified interests, into one
great whole, than any legislative en-
actment ever proclaimed. They not
only facilitate commerce, but also, by
making extended social communica-
tion between all sections of the land
possible, they are rapidly overcom-
ing, as neither constitutional nor
statute law could, those intense local
prejudices that worked such fearful
havoc in the past. And the benefits
conferred by the two cent stamp,
do not by any manner of means,
end when our national boundaries are
reached. If the letter does not exceed
the specified weight, two cent stamp
insures its carriage across national
boundaries into Mexico and Canada
and with little reinforcement 1t will
take a misslve of Joy or sadness, busi-
ness or pleasure into any part of the
civilized world. In serving as it does
the social and commercial interests Of
mankind the two cent stamp consti-
tutes powerful link in the chair
wherewith the eyes Of the inhabitants
of the world are being opened to the
fact that human hopes, sympathies
and interests are everywhere much the
same.
Greed and rite, perchance may differ
Yet our faith and hope be one"
And as this truth operates in Other
spheres as well as in religion, comes tC
be mutual possession, it bears the
fruit of mutual interest and respect
awakening and perpetuating over eX
lending national and international in
terest and respect There are few agent:
of civilization that are doing more t.
spike the guns and destroy the engines
of war than the two cent stamp. Yer
lily the Lord hath chosen the veal
things of this world to confound thu
mighty.

Baltimore, Feb. 4.-The story sent
out from Chicago that General Pas
senger Agent Austin, of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, had reported rate cut
ting on the part Of the rival lines, to
the receivers, is strenously denied at

a letter, absolutely denies that any
such cases have come under his notice
and denounces the report as fake

HUGE HUMAN SKELETONS.
Remains Of Eight Giants, All NenrIy
Seven Feet Tall, Unearthed
Near San FPancIHco,

Contractors employed in government
construction work on Goat island, San
Francisco, have unearthed eight skele
tons. 1t is mystery how they came
there and there are several wild stories
afoat. One is that Goat island, which
is now a government reserve, was the
haunt of pirates, and that much buried
treasure is hidden on the island.
Another is that the island was used
by the Spaniards in early days as n
burying ground. Several attempts have
been made tolocate the hidden treasure,
but without success, The skeletons an
eartbed are of enormous proportions,
few being less than six feet six inches
long.

The correspondent to the Enquirer
does not put matters correctly in refer
ring to the Leader mans evidence in
the investigation into the Standard
Oil company's affairs, which on Friday
and Saturday was being made in this
city by Attorney General Monnet.
The correspondent says, Evidence
was offered by George M. Cook, pub
Usher of local daily, who had con-
tract with the standard Oil company
to publish matter"
This Is wholly incorrect. The pub
isher OF this paper entered into a con-
ltract with the Jennings News Bureau
and Advertising Agency, to sell that
agency four inches of space for per-
iod of three months in the weekly is
sue only at price uniform with our
regular display rates, viz: $500, a
price not exhorbitant or fancy also
line rates for reading at cents per
line.
AS for the price for extra copies of
the Leader, which is two cents and not
one cent a copy, referred to in the
Register, of yesterday, We would say
that the agent, Mr. Jennings, with
which the contract was made, knew
nothing of our price per issue, and
without agreement, made the price per
copy large enough to meet any reason
able charge for country paper.
To return to the Enquirer clause
which would give out the impression
that Standard matter, indiscrlminately
was to be published, the contract says,
"such reading notices, acceptable to the
publisher"
Our contract with the Jennings
Bureau is one that is straight and bus
iness like, and our only regret is that
we have not more of the same kind
We're here largely for the purpose of
selling space, and so long as it is used
for a clean and honorable purpose its
on the market.
