Friends OF Chief CLERK carr Nerllch,
of the Iowa Central general freight de-
partment, are having considerable fun
at his expense over a matter that has
leaked out from the inner workings of
the office. concerning some correspon-
dence over freight matters. The office
recently received letter from a man
living in Eldora asking rates for tomb
stones and bodies from u town in the
southern part of the state. on the Rock
Island. Mr. Werlich handled the cor
respondence and naturally inferred that
the bodies meant the bases of the
tombstones. when in reality the in
uuirer wanted to know the rate on dead
bodies, which are not allowed to be
transported by freight. Mr.. Werlich
answered the communication and quot
ed rate on tombstones released at a
valuation of 40 cents per cubic foot. The
Eldora man then went to work to Sc
cure a car from the Rock Island, and
was refused 1t with the information
that he could send dead bodies only by
express. Mr.. Werlich was informed of
the Rock Islands decision and at once
answered that the Central could not
furnish a car for such usage. Mr.. Wer
Itch is now busy explaining the simi
larity of the words bodies" and
bases"
