ing by the magnates. The men grouped
themselves about table with their coats
off and undertook to thresh the freight
question out.
Before this Mr.. MCGOWAN had asked an
other day to present his answer on the
crosstown lines and the extensions asked
as a consideration for the terminal fran
chise and his request was granted. The
mayor asked Mr.. Littleton to present for
the shippers their idea of provision to be
inserted in the interurban franchises con-
corning freight Mr.. Littleton said the
shippers and Mr.. McCulloch had agreed
and that it now remained for the board
to omit the clause giving it power to pro-
hibit business in the city streets and the
question would be settled.
Mr. McCulloch said he had come from
Anderson to adjust the freight question
and he thought it could be settled if all
concerned would knuckle tight and stick
to the work so far as I am concerned"
said he, Il am ready to accept the same
franchise for the Indianapolis Northern
that l have for the Union Traction Com
pany. If you strike out that reserve of
prohibitory control. then 1 will accept

Judge Adams. of the Shelbyville road, is
ready TO do the same.
Except as to the car tax" said Mr.
Adams.
Mr.. McCulloch said he alluded only to
freight questions. He added that he was
likely to be just happy If the whole ques-
ton was cut out. Judge Adams was in
vted TO join the conference proposed. and
he and w. y. Harding took seats. The
doors were closed.
FREIGHT QUESTION SETTLED
An hour and a half later the men emerged
with wilted collars. The freight question
was settled and Mr. Littleton now looks
forward TO a period of absence from inter
urban meetings, for his clients were thor
oughly satisfied with the result of their
long struggle This result was embodied in
the following amendment 10 the standard
franchise which, however. carries with il
the striking out OF the word prohibit" in
the clause governing freight and leaves the
uneauivocal control OF the freight transpor-
tation in the city with the board The
amendment follows:

Chicago Gas Company Appeals
Against 55-Cent Gas Rate.

CHICAGO. July 9O.-Judge Peter S.
Grosscup, in the United States Circuit
Court to-day, dismissed the amended bill
of the Peoples Gaslight and Coke Com
pany, asking for an injunction against the
city of Chicago. restraining it from en-
forcing the 75-cent gas ordinance on the
ground of want of jurisdiction. de-
murrer to the bill was sustained and an
appeal by the company allowed TO the
United States Supreme Court in bonds Of
100000. The court considered the Juris-
diction question and cited a decision in a
similar case at Detroit. The appeal of this
case TO the Supreme Court marks the most
important step in a long and bitter techni-
cal battle by the city of Chicago against
the Peoples Gas Company TO secure cheap
gas on an ordinance regulating the
price OF gas at IS cents a thousand feet
The company now charges 81 and claims

Country Gentleman.1

Poultrymen are hearing much OF the
possibilities of fattening poultry by
special food and machine. The food is
called Grenadier meal. The machine is
a modification of the ttme-honored fat
tening or stuffing machine so long In
use in Sussex, England. That there is
money in fattening fowls for market IS
admitted as an absolute fact; that
thousands waste their time and money
in sending to market poorly fed stock is
true; and that much of this might be
avoided by dividing ones stock into
separate flocks and feeding them. All
this we admit; and we shall continue to
try to have the losing methods replaced
by better, simpler and more profitable
lcnes, which are within the reach of all.
One may go SO far as to shut up his
stock in colonies and feed them all the
rich and fattening food they will eat,
with no green food at all, and produce
much better market poultry than is
now produced, and profit by so doing;
but the venture into machine fattening
is another thing.

dreds for Gun Practice.
The sportsmen who live in the south
west do not have to wait until Sept. 1
to use their shotguns. Just now the
first crop of doves is In full flight and
they are slain In thousands.
This bird, a member of the pigeon
family, is found in every state of the
union, but is most common In the dry
lands of Kansas, Indian Territory and
Texas. Any part of the country which
produces sunfiowers In abundance is
sure to have quantities of them.
The dove is of exceedingly swift flight
and has weaving motion which makes
it difficult target. It's speed is great
err than that of the quail and it's course
is more cratic.
AS it is shot always at from twenty
to fifty feet above the ground and gem
orally while it is passing some stand
taken by the sportsman, 1t is the best
Imaginable practice in preparation for
the fall duck shooting.
In Kansas and some other parts OF
the west. the dove is walked up from
the wheat fields and sunflower patches
and shot as it rises. AS 1t flushes gem
orally from twenty-five to thirty yards
and goes away fast, 1t requires good
workmanship.
A dove rising from an open field at
thirty yards and taking a previously
