To Worlds Fair Visitors.

Certain other Chicago-St Louis lines
have advertised freely in Chicago and
elsewhere that they land their passen
gers at the Worlds Fair Grounds. Up
to short time ago they we're using the
Rock Island Road to reach the Fair
Grounds. A recent order of the United
States Court prohibits the Rock Island
from handling the trains of other lines.
The Wabash is, therefore, the only line
that can handle Worlds Fair travel
between Union Station, Page Ave-, and
the Worlds Fair Grounds. The Chi
cags-St. Louis lines referred to have
applied for permission to run their
passengers over the Wabash tracks,
which permission has been refused.
They will be obliged to land their
passengers at Union Station, which is

tom wasn't very far away and nobody
was drowned.
Capt. Grant pilOted his steamer to
the camp grounds from Cleveland last
Thursday, when the Geneseo MethO-
dists were there 200 strong, and he
remained until Thursday when the
craft was chartered by the Butler and
Dodds and Clark camps. The merry
party started out with Capt. Grant at
the wheel and Joseph Dobbs firing.
About half a mile below Angels fer
ry the vessel struck a rock which did
not appear upon the navigation
charts. AS soon as she was gotten off
she began to settle and Capt. Grant
shouted to all hands to get n ladder
and climb on top.
Fireman Dobbs retained his pres

duced the steam, thus averting the
| danger of an explosion. Very luckily
the water was only about four feet
where the boat went down. The older
members of the party held the children
| in their arms, and men and women
stood knee deep in water, upon the
steamer. while Capt. Grant blew his
whistle for help. The whistle was
heard at the camp grounds, but the
campers thought it was being blown
as the result of exuberance of joy on
| the part of the eXCurSioniSts. But

something was wrong and he went to

and they took short cuts for camp,

FOR SMALLER LOAF
Rock Island Bakers Obliged to Re =
duce Weight in Order to Meet
Advance in Price of Flour.
TO CUTAT LEAST TWO OUNCES
This Plan Preferred to increasing the
Cost From Five to Six Cents
Supply Nearly Gone.

The extreme high price of flour, with
conditions pointing favorably TO fur
Their increases. puts things in a grave
condition for the bakers of the city.
At the present price of -four bread
baking at the prevailing prices is very
Improbable and there has been seri-
Gus talk of reducing the weight of the
loaf from II to IL ounces. which may
come to pass within a short time if
the price of wheat and -four does not
take a decline.
Not since the high prices of cereals
during the Spanish-American war has
flour cost as much as it does now. and
unless the prices take a sudden decline
there must be a change. All of the
larger bakeries of the city have had
conferences, and some of them feel
that the proper course TO pursue is TO
| raise the price of the baked product.
Others are in favor of reducing the
weight of the loaves to such an extent
that the smaller loaf can be retailed
at five cents and still leave a small
profit for the baker.
| SiX-Cent Loaf an Annoyance.
The latter course will undoubtedly
be the one taken. for it would be less

| the consumers. The G-cent price would
make considerable bother III change"

| Most of the bakers carry a large
amount of flour on hand all the time
and the presence of this has enabled

must be some change. One of the
