A life-size statute of Apollo, which
by its style is supposed to date from
the Fifth century. B. c.. has just been
found near Athens. 1t is said to be
in an excellent state of preservation.
The find is an important one. for the
figure is larger and finer in work

treasured in the Munrich museum, and
1t has many claims to place in the

between Waco and Abilene and raised
the amount of money necessary for the
bonus. but trouble arose over the site re-

manned in statu quo until since the Texas

ANOTHER MIX in RATES.
Texarkana Situation Likely 10 Again Pre-,
sent Complications.
THE FRISCO HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW RArI
It Applies to Paris on Interstate
Business-work on the Kaysee
Extension Soon to begin.

The Texarkana rate situation Is the
ghost in railway matters Just now 50 far
as interstate business and Texas are con-
cerned. 1t will not down. 1t bobs UP at
most unexpected times and every time It
makes its appearance 1t causes a shud-
der among certain class Of frsght men.
So far as the Shreveport jobblng business
is concerned 1t is almost myth The
little jobbing done by the North Louis
lana town is confined to small territory
and in no way interferes with OF conflicts
with either Dallas, Galveston or Hous-
ton. Nevertheless it is used as a senti-
mental excuse on which to base interstate
rates and thus becomes a disturbing ele-
ment.
The st. Louis and San, Francisco peo-
Pile have served notice on the bureau that
| effective today they will put on an inter-
state rate to Paris, Texas, which will ba
SC higher on carloads and 10c on hss
| than carloads thun the Texarkana rate,
which is cents higher on carloads AID
10 cents on less than carloads than the
| Shreveport rate. This makes Paris 10 and
20 cents higher than Shreveport
| 1T is another stone thrown into the rate
camp and the next thing TO look for is a
similar rate put on for Dallas, Sherman
and Dentson.
Anyhow, there are certain roads which
are more directly interested in South
than North Texas, and this territory will
be protected. The ocean is navigahle and
so is Buffalo bayou and the water rates
to Houston and Galveston are based upon
conditions and not theories. When the
Trinity is opened up to Dallas that city
may then have pretext for demanding
further concessions. but not until then.

Kntr nusine.. Is Good.

A good idea of the business condition
of the country can always be found in
the volume OF railway business handled.
Bank clearings may be swelled by the
passing Of one or two checks for large
sums of money, but railway earnings show
actual business. John g. Lindsey. agent
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas at this
point, states that the Katys freight re-
ceipts for April were greatly in excess Of
those for the same month a year ago.
And this is in spite OF the fact that cot
ton receipts were 5000 bales less than dur
ing April, 1899. This is an encouraging
sign and proves that business in Houston
is increasing.
