THAT TERMINAL. CHARGE


The St. Louis Live Stock Reporter has
joined the Kansas City DroveIs' TeIe-
gram in its great fight against the ter
minal charges at Chicago. 1t says:
Chicago IS collecting a tax of g per
car on all live stock shipped 10 that
market Last year the collection was
five hundred and thirty-eight thousand
dollars Since It started Chicago has
collected two million four hundred thou
sand dollars as a terminal charge. All
came out of the pockets Of the shippers.
Chicago collects freight rates. charges
yardage, feed-b bills, commissions, all the
usual expenses and every cent is deduct
ed from the proceeds as 1T Is a other
markets. Then, in addition to ali legiti-
mate charges. two dollars more is stuck
on each car load So far other mar
kcts have said but little about it. It has
en- thought that there was legal rem
edy and that Chicago would have to
disgCrge ali this money. But the law
says not. They have a right to collect
IT, Il people are foolish enough to pay 1t.
Furthermore the Drovers Journal says,
that II the supreme court of the United
States sustains the late decision every
market IN this country viii have to pay
tribute 70 the railroads in the shape Of
a terminal charge. This IS our interest
~ the matter. We don't want a te:mi-
ral charge stuck up at all markets.
%" erefcre we would Ike to see Chicago
far-ed to do away with it. The Texas
Crtte Rsisers' association has tried to
d. away with the terminal charge. but
the efforts have so far been without re-
So +, The Chicago commission firms have
III 10 do away with the terminal
charge, but they have no power over
The situation and are not beneffciartes
of 1t. Therefore. it remains that the ter
uinsl charge win stick. viii expand,
viii be enlarged upon unless the shippers
themselves resist It. Shippers can resist
the terminal charge; they are the only
people who can do so. The shippers near
Chicago cannot very well hep them
selves, they are bound hand and foot.
Shippers from a distance are the people
who keep ny the terminal charge. They
are the only people who are in a position
10 ship their consignments TO other mar
k=tz and So stop the imposition at Chi
CaEo The terminal charge system orig

remains to he seen whether men who
ship ive stock will or viii not exercise
their powers. In a few months 1t will
be TOO late"

UNIQUE ORNAMENTS,
Pretty Plaques That Car be haas sf
Plaster Of Paris and ColOrsd
Pictures.

A burst of ingenuity seems to have
centered itself in new plaster OF paris
plaque. 1t has come as welcome way
of preserving some OF the exquisite col
ored heads and fora. pictures which
we yearly have sent to US on calen-
dars. A little good taste and consider
able nimbleness of fingers is ali that
is required, in addition to an agateware
pieplate, some plaster of paris and
water. a knife a bit Of tape and a cur
tain ring. with a pretty colored picture
which has been neatly cut out from
its background, and bottle OF gilt
paint. These various things are then
handled il the following way: At first
the plate should be filled with water,
| which, however. is soon tossed out
again. he object being simply to have
moist surface. The picture is then
taken up and placed face downward
in the center of the plate. AS soon as
il is seen tha, j. adheres to il quite
closely the plaster of paris, which has
previously been mixed with water until
| il is smooth and of the consistency OF
| thick cream. is poured in upon it, and
in sufficient quantity to fill the plate
| up to the very top. Here, then, the
knife is useful in smoothing it over.
! At this point. also, a contrivance is
arranged for hanging up the plaque
| in the future. The piece of tape with a
curtain ring on one end of il is pressed
down in the plaster. where il soon hard
ems into permanency. As soon as il is
found that the plaster is sufficiently
hard. the knife can be slipped around
the edges of the plate to facilitate the
, whole turning out wei. When this is
accomplished the picture will appear
a. though il had been painted upon
| the pure white surface OF the paste.
Should. by any means. the plaster have
slipped under the picture. il can be
readily wiped OFF while il is still fresh.
| The gilt paint is used to make a border
about the plaque. 1t appears well. eth
| er as stiff band or when il is stippled
a little.
In the making OF these plaques, says
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. much Of
their success depends upon the choice
Of the picture. Ry far the prettisst
one that has so far been seen was a
Young girls head. crowned with a
wreath of flaming poppies. All slss
| that was particularly noticeabl about
her were her filmy green draperies. To
| further offset its beauty. the plaque
| was hung upon sage green back
| ground.
