Kansas City, Jan. 1O.-lhe inter-
state commerce commissioners exam
ined seven witnesses yesterday re-
garding grain rates from western
points to the Atlantic scaboard and
other eastern destinations. They re-
turned to Chicago last night, after
announcing that the investigation
would be resumed in that city Jan

eral big railway officials will be
called. The expected rush of railroad
officials and grain shippers to con-

persistent questioning on the part of
the commissioners.
The most direct admission was
that of John \. Robinson, of the
firm of Hall & Robinson, of Kansas
City, which is said to control the
export grain business of the Missouri
Pacific road. Mr. Robinson admit
ted that w. ID. Stith freight traffic
manager of the Missouri Pacific,
made him rate on export grain of
from three to five cents per hundred
lower than the published export
tariff. Other testimony went to
show that Kansas City was made to
suffer from discrimination by through
lines, because of the arbitrary rate
on grain in effect here.

THE GAME OF WARMING.
4 Household Sport that Makes No End
of Fun for the Young.

This game may be played by any
| number of persons. 1t requires neith-
er preparation nor material, and
may, therefore, be introduced any
where at any time, says the Louisville
! Courier-Journal.
| Send one person from the room and
then agree upon what he is to do
when you call MIN back. This should
! be some simple act, and yet one that
he would not be likely to think of,
say, for example, to look at himself
in the mirror; to bow to a certain
player; to take player by the hand
and lead her or him to the middle
of the room, or to take a sofa pillow
| and put it behind a certain players
back.
Having settled what he is to do,
you summon him back into the room
by music arranged for the occasion.
The music is to be made by tapping
some metal object with a key. The
best thing to use is poker, from
which low or loud notes may be
brought at will.
AS the player is to be guided by
the music in the performance of his
task, the musician must keep close
watch on him ard give him warning.
When he begins to do anything like
what has been appointed, the music
should be low: when he does what he
ought not to do, it should be loud.
Let us suppose, for example, that
he is to take a sofa pillow and put
it behind a certain players back. As
he enters the room the music is maxi
ing a great clatter, and this tends
to keep him from collecting his
thoughts, as it is intended to do.
Presently he walks toward the sofa
where the pillow is lying, and the
music becomes soft. This tells him
that he is on the right track. He
touches a chair and the music be-
comes loud, which tells him that a
chair has no part in his task. He
touches the sofa and the music grows
soft, and when he touches the pillow
it ceases for Il moment and then be-
gins again, very soft
He now knows he is to do some
thing with the pillow, but what? He
stands and holds it-wrong! He puts
it on the floor and sits on it-very
loud music! Then he throws it down
before some player, but the music is
still loud. Then it occurs to HIM that
sofa pillow makes a good rest for
ones back, and he puts it behind a
player, but the player is not the one
selected and the music does not
cease, though it becomes very faint.
It's faintness suggests that he has hit
on the right thing, but not the right
player, and he tries player after
player until he finds the one selected,
when the music stops and his task
is done.

TELEPHONES ON CARS.
A TOIcdOan Gives Practical DemOn-
strnlIOn of a New Invention.

Muskeg0n, Mich, Jan. 10.-C. f. Bid
well, of Toledo, on Thursday gave
the first practical demonstration of
his fathers invention of telephone
system whereby it is possible to call
up and talk from an electric car 60
ing at full speed with any one who
is located in another car on the same
line running in any direction and at
any distance.
The system is applicable to either
steam or electric roads. The over
head trolley is used for one side of
their circuit and for the other a
second wire is strung parallel with
the ssrtionary trolley. The metal
trolley pole of the car is attached to
second pole which operates on the
additional wire by means of a fianged
wheel. A closed circuit is thus OBJ
tanned. Telephone wires are at
tached to each of the two trolley
poles which lead to the telephone
pole in the car. The heavy voltage
required to operate the electric cars
is reduced to that used for telephone
service by Il SPECIAL invention.

THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Convention at Fargo, n. H., Declares
thai in Resisting Attempts of Rival
Roads To Acquire Control of North
ern Pacific, Mr. Hill Did Right.

Fargo, y. D., Jan. 1.-THE features
of the tri-state grain and cattle
growers convention here Friday
were the addresses of President
James j. Hill, of the Great North
ern railroad, in favor of railway
mergers, and the practically unani-
nous adoption of resolutions COM
mending him for his work in behalf
of the northwest. These resolutions.
after declaring the most natural line
of transportation for the products
of the northwestern states and for
the trade of the Orient destined for
the north, middle and eastern states
is along the route followed by the
Northern Pacific railroad proceeds
as follows:
at is the sense of the meeting,
therefore, that in resisting the at
tempts of the Union Pacific railroad
and its allies on the one hand and
the Canadian Pacific railroad and it's
feeders on the other, to secure con-
troll of the Northern Pacific road,
James j. Hill has performed not
able public service and once more
msplayed the business like policy
that has characterized his long ca
reer as the great developer on north
western resources and the most
watchful guardian o% northwestern
interests"
These resolutions were adopted
before Mr.. Hills arrival, but later an
attempt was made to rescind them.
This failed, however, and they stood
as the expression of the convention.
