THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
TO CONGRESS ON TRANSPORT
TATION.
(By Telegraph to virsinian Pllot0


Washington, May 1.-THE Industrial
Commission to-day made n preliminary
report to Congress on the subject of
transportation. The commission states
that owing to the incompleteness of its
inquiry into the commission as yet it is
not prepared at present to make recon-
mendationS to Congress or to State
Legislatures.
On the question of discrimination
between individuals. the report says
that the general concensus of opinion
among witnesses is that the railways
still make them. and perhaps to as
great an extent as ever before.
They also say that the evidence is
clear that the great terminal elevators
in Chicago. and to Il less extent in
other grain markets. are owned by com
paratiVely few persons; that the owners
OF the public elevators also control pri-
vatc elevators; that they themselves
ouy large proportions of the grain
which comes into public elevators. and
that the business of handling grain on
commission has been very greatly re-
duccd by this practice. 1t also is
claimed that these men own most OF the
country elevators. The coInmi -SiOn
concludes that it is probable that the
claim that these large elevators receive
fnvorS from the railways in one way or
another has some basis"
On the question OF grain rates and
-four shipments 1t is stated that the
evidence seems conclusive that the of-
feet of discrimination has already been
disastrous to our milling interests. and
that probably. even with the difference
IN rates reduced as already shown, II
will continue to he injurious.
1t is also concluded that the poWc.s of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
are more limited than the trainers OF
the law intended

ST. VALENTINE DAY.

This ancient festival was Gel.
ebrated in this closing of the
18th century in very up-to-
date manner by Miss Anna
Boulware and her young friends
on last Wednesday night in
spite of the intense cold and the
prevailing snow storm. Within
Mr.. Boulware's charming home
everything was warmth, light.
ness and cauleue de rose. The
glare of the electric lights wa S
softened by rose colored shades,
White bleeding hearts and Gu
pids darts were everywhere in
evidence as became the testiva |
Of the ''little blind God" Red
and white hearts in pairs, and
assorted sizes each pierced with
golden arrow, decorated the
walls, festooned the draperies,
and portieres were gracefully
suspended from the archways.
across Il corner two ribbons
were stretched, strung with
hearts, and each guest was al
lowed to shoot an arrow at
them, the heart that was hit
bearing the number of table and
partner for the game of whist
which formed a part of the ev.
enings amusement. The prizes
were two strings of heart shap-
ed photograph frames, hand
decorated in water colors for
the head couples, while the
luckless foot couple were con-
soled by appropriate prizes,
one a heart pen wiper well
mounted by a jolly brownie "to
wipe out the past the other a
boot match safe of silver to in,
dicate always at the foot.
The refreshments carried out
the prevailing idea being pink
heart shaped ice cream and
white, pink and chocolate heart
cakes, salted almonds and cof
fee while heart.shaped bon.bons
with notices afforded much
amusement as did also a tray OF
comic valentines from which
each guest selected one at ran

which Washington fought to

The contemplation is sadder-
ing. No reasoning man can see
in the present attitude of the
United States an Improvement t
over Washington's policy. 1t is
not progress but retrogression.
From the sweet land Of liber-
ty" the United States have be-
come the emulator, the follower
the pupil of the country which
resisted it's earliest yearning
for freedom.
The consoling reflection is
that the change has not been
wrought with the consent Of the
people of the United States.
The administration alone has
outlined this policy. The peo.
pie have not yet spoken their
mind concerning it and will
have no chance to do so until

ENERGY AND HONESTY.

Place energy and honesty
coupled with true business prin-
ciples behing ady kind Of an en-
terprise and it is almost
as sure to win out as it is for
the sun to rise and set.
The dawn of r. Manning Wal
ker'S business career began in
this city in 1884 and his efforts
though not having reached the
noon time have proven Success
full.
He first opened up L small
iewelry and watch repairing
store at the corner Of Winter
and Vine Streets in Il room only
18X20 feet. In a short time he
built two business rooms on
Winter between Main and Vine
streets and moved into one of
them. In 1893 he purchased
the Massey and Thompson hard
ware stock and tin business and
moved his stock OF jewelry to
the hardware store on South
Main Street where he remained
until few days ago. When he
combined the two stocks Of
goods they amounted to about
$4,000, to day they are worth
$4,000.
The increase of stock and bus
mess created the necessity of
moving from the TWO story
building which is 20X66 feet to
the stand formerly occupied by
A. Jaeger which is also a two
story (he occupied aud does oc'
cupy both fioors) building and
contains =, $40 square feet o.
floor space and $50 square feet
of space in the ware house
which is we'll stocked with i'm
plements, wagons, buggies etc,
which is the true cause of re
moval, lack of room in o,t
quarters for the business.
Mr.. Walker has two expert
assistants, j. II. johnson and
Curry Anderson.
The above is only one Of til,
many instances in Monroe Cit,
which goes to prove what tn,
result of the work of goot
man in a good town is.
