The McCord Railroad Bill be-
comes effective today. This is one
Of the measures that stirred up the
l.. and n. railroad to such strong
opposition to Democrats. The bill
was framed for the purpose of pre-
venting extortionate freight rates
from being levied by the rail
roads on the shippers. The
bill will also prevent discrimina-

it has a right to fix a new one.
The railroad company. however,

cision of the commission to the
courts and the decision can be re-
versad.

ceeded TO his old nome in Canada.
Soon afterward the word was received
that Mr.. Miller had taken unto him
self a helpmate in tine person Of lady
he had known all his life, and whose
deceased husband was first cousin OF
her new husband
Monday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Mil
Ter arrived in Marietta, and at once
proceeded to the home of his son on
Harmar Street, on the West Side. Mon
day evening, &c. Dawes Camp. Sons
of Veterans No. 500, of which Mr.. Mil
Ter Is member, met in regular session
and at the conclusion of their business
meeting proceeded IN body, headed
by their drum corps, to look up the
where abouts OF their Brother Miller.
They found him at his sons home, and
a jolly serenade was accorded him.
Added to the instruments of the band
were tin cans, cow-Dells and other ar
ticles of nconceivable mention. A
happy time was had by all, including
the bride and the groom. The sere-
naders departed at a late hour.
1t is interesting 10 mention in this
connection that Mr.. Miller is the old
est member of the Order of Sons Of
Veterans in the United States, his age
being seventy years. He is also vet
eran, having served in the Union army,
and three of his sons are members of
Dawes Camp Besides this, he has a
grandson who is member, thus max
ing three generations represented in
one society. Probably no other camp
in the United States can say as
much.
