Terminal Charge STAYS.

The action of the Interstate COM
mercc commission in enjoining the
the railroads running into the Union
stock yards, of Chicago, from max
ing terminal charge of 500 per
carload of live stock, was declared
unlawful by Judge Kohlsaat of the
federal court, last week. Judge
kohlsaat ruled that the charge was
reasonable. The prayer of the In
terState commerce com mission that
the court enforce the order reducing
the rate from 50 to 81 was denied
for want of equity. Judge Kohlsaat,
in his decision. gives history of
the changes which have been effect
ed in the rates for transportation on
the track owned by the Union
Stock Yards company, and in de-
clarlng the charges from the ter
minals to the stock yards reasonable,
he finds that the defendants only
imposed this extra fee to cover the
charges imposed by the stock yards
company for the use of their tracks.
The court was not asked to pass up
on the legality of the Chicago rate,
or charge for transportation up to
the terminals of company's tracks.
The decision is decided victory for
the 9 railroads running into the
the Union stock yards.

THE Willy BADGER.
How He Rid Himself of . Plague Of

vermin.
Paul W. Heinrich, the real estate
dealer, is also a student of entomology,
al. He lived down in Nebraska at one
time, where the badgers have taken
the place Of the buffalo. One night
Mr.. Heinrich was explaining the pecul.
iurities Of the animal and stated by
way Of introduction that q genuine
Nebraska badger was sharper than a
politician.
"They have several bright ways Of
doing things" he began. Perhaps l
need tell of but one to make their In.
telligence plain. Now, il a badger has
verlnin, do you know how he goes
about it to rid himself of them?"
Scratches 'em off," said the pro-
prietor.
mo, sir; Mr.. Badger isn't fool enough
for that. He just goes to some stream;
then he stands on the bank and reach
es around with his mouth and pulls
little tuft Of hair out of his tail. Now
listen closely. With that bunch of
hair In his mouth lie turns around and
backs slowly down into the river. The
vernin naturally crawl to keep out OF
the water and begin to wend their
way toward his neck, and as he dips
himself down deeper into the water
they hasten to his nose and then out
on to the bunch Of hair which lie holds
In his mouth. When Mr.. Badger finds
that they are all out on that little tuft,
he opens his mouth and let's the cur
rent drift 1t down stream. Then he
crawls out on land again, shakes him.

says that all cattle arriving in
Chicago is charged, and has been
charged for in accordance with its
weight for the last ten years. Cattle

The Problem Of tho Range.

The rangcmen of the west in
in many sections arc be confronted
by serious problem says the Den
yer Stockman. The strong advance
in the price of stock cattle has made
the old plan of letting the cattle
rustic for themselves winter and
summer rather a dangerous, not to
say expensive one When steers
were only worth $40 to Sl5 per
head they could lose few without
counting the loss serious. But
when they are worth $50 and $40
each it is horse of another colcr.
Cattle are to valuable to turn out
on an already depleted range, and
it is difficult matter to find hay
enough to keep them going, and on
top Of all this sheep are getting
more numerous nd encroach more
and more on the cattle terri
tory. This fall many stockman have
found the problem to much for them
to solve, and have simply closed out
every thing and will look for new
opening. about the only men in
the west who are holding on to
their cattle with a grip that means
business are those who have only a
small bunch and are prepared to
winter and summer feed, too, if
necessary. These men are breeding
high grade cattle and figure that
they can aforo to take care Of
them right.
The problem is not a new one. 1t
has been gradually coming for
several years, but now the stockman
are right up against it, and it must
be solved. About the only large
herds left are on the leased lands of
Texas, and what few there are in
the northwest are simply .lookiny
Tor way to let go. The only apra-
rent solution now is small punches
AMI inclosed pastures. This means
d scarcity Of cattle for several years
to come, as it takes time TO make
such a great change and bring the
production back to the demands Of
the country.

That Change in Rates.

Omaha Bee, Dec. 6: Cattemen
throughout the west are aroused
to Il considerable extent in opposi-
ton to the recent change inaCgurat-
ed by the railroads west of the Mis-
souri, river, whereby the transpor-
tatiOn of cattle is charged for by
weight instead of by the car. as
heretofore. They assert that this
change will result in an increase of
the charges Of the rail
road companies. Especially op.
position to the new method of COM
putting freight tariffs on the move
mcnt of live stock is manifested in
Kansas and it is asserted that suits
will be instituted in the courts Of
that state to determine whether or
not the railroads have the right to
make such change in their tariffs.
Regarding this matter, one Of The
leading railroad managers of the
west says 'The reason foe chang
ing the method is not based on q
desire to receive greater compen-
sation for the service performed,
although there is no other business
that we do west of the Missouri
river that Yields as little profit to
the carrier as the transportation OF
live stock; while, ON the other hand,
there is 10 other pursuit that the
farmer can follow that will Yield him
the same profits. The railroads
give the live stock business an
accelerated speed, use cars of special
design, and we obliged in most
cases TO run the cars westbound
empty.

make the change in the method OF

HIS HEAD LIKES THE HEAT.
nut the Negro Always Tries to Heep
His Heels Cool.

Dut the Negro Always T,'fes to Keep
His Heels Cool.
1t has often been said that the ca
heat has never been fully tested. An
incident related by dairyman living
on the outskirts Of the city seems TO
bear out this assertion.
This dalryman has q young negro
boy who looks after the cattle and
does chores around the place. The on.
ly effect that the heat produces In his
case Is desire to slumber. The dairy
man had young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife sent "Carlina"
out to turn the calf loose, so that he
could seek a shady spot. After wait
ing an hour for his return the house
wife went to the barnyard to investi-
gate. There she found both boy and
calf curled up in the hot and sitting
barnyard. The calf was dead from
the effects Of the sun, but the boy was
slumbering peacefully by its side.
While negro can stand any amount
OF heat on his head he loves to cool his
heels. 1t Is a common sight In the
winter to see negro boy on frosty
morning with his head bundled up to
keep out the cold and at the same time
walking unconcernedly along the
frosty ground in his bare feet. One Of
the hottest places in the city on hot
day is at the lumber wharfs OF the
Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road. When the men knock of for
noon, they frequently take nap with
their faces upturned to the rays Of the
blazing sun. At the same time they
get their feet under the shadow of
some friendly lumber pile.-Florida
