W. CT. U. Convention.

The twelfth annual convention OF
Phillips county w. G. T. u, which
was held in the Baptist church Of Long
Island and presided over by County
President Mrs. Anna Tracy, was mark
ed by spirituality and enthusiasm.
While the day sessions were devoted to
the usual review of the past years
accomplishment and to the discussion
of future plans Of work, the evening
sessions were JUST as delightful.
Thursday evening was occupied by a
medal contest. The prize was awarded
to Miss Minnie Peak, who recited"Poor
House Man." All the contestants de-
serve honorable mention for careful
study and good rendition.
Mr.. Kemp's address on Friday even
ing, "Light in Darkness, J." also his chalk
talks and bible reading were interesting
and profitable. AS their are no south
and north roads the Cross Roads dele
cation deserve great credit for travelling
so far by team to help in convention.
Cross Roads and Long Island are the
youngest unions in the county. With
their musical ability, literary attain
ments, and amongst them short hand
reporter, they will be strong forces in
creating, ditfusing and strengthening
temperance sentiment, situated as they
are in opposite points of the county.
The topics discussed at these county
conventions have awakened an interest
in many minds before unacquaiuted
with our work. The following thoughts
were brought out in the papers and
discussions.
The W. @. 7. U. is organized mother
hood, working for the purpose Of our
homes against organized vice. The
saloon is rapidly becoming relic of
barbarism. 1t will disappear and no
effort to raise it to the level Of the pre-
sent age will succeed,
Bishop Potter has done good work
in the world and he has made
host of friends; but at the last he sinks
under cloud. The good Of his life is
showed by the last great blunder.
Our families observe and the world
watches to see just how interested we
really are in temperance work. Let the
students in our. Sabbath Schools know
that Temperance Sunday stands for
something. Cannot Sabbath School
invest money proAtably in procuring
temperance literature and pledge cards ?
Set part Of ones income aside for good
works and the remnant is especially
blessed. One is able to give better
service in the six days Of the week IL we
give one to the Lord. "Please not thy
self upon the Sabbath day" Gain now
may mean loss after awhile.
Spring Creek has organized Loyal
Temperance Legion of about twenty
two members, fourteen Of which have
signed the pledge.
The amount of literature distributed
in the county cannot be estimated.
Logan union distributed 5000 pages
Phillipsburg Uuion the same. Thus,
temperance sentiment steadily grows.
Local Superintendent must be APP
pointed by the executive, keep more
accurate account Of the work done.
Caring for the little things is what
counts.
The District convention Of the W. @.
7. U. will be held in Norton the IA and
l5 of September.

AVOIDED A CONFLICT
Heir TO the Italian Throne Will
Not be Known as Prince
of Rome.

Rome. Sept. 16.-The majority of the
people approve the action Of King Vic
tor Emmanuel in not choosing the title
of Prince of Rome for the heir to the
throne, born last night, as il would
have embittered the conflict between
church and state at a time when the
pope seemed to be leaning toward mod
Grafton. II is believed that the title
chosen. that Of Prince Of Piedmont, will
become fixed for all time for the alien
crown prince. as is the title of Prince
Of Wales in England.
To celebrate the birth of the heir
the king has granted amnesty TO all
deserters and has also shortened by
six months the terms Of Imprisonment
for certain crimes.
King Victor Emmanuel has received
the Warmest congratulations through
cut the kingdom and also most cordial
dispatches from Emperor Nicholas,

HEARING ENDED
FOR PRESENT
Western Stockmen Are Fight.
ing the Railroads.
EVIDENCE so FAR ADVANCED
FURTHER TESTIMONY TO BE
TAKEN IN CHICAGO.

Denver, Sept. 16.-The interstate COM
merce commission today concluded a
hearing into western livestock rates,
which has been in progress here for
several days Commissioner Charles
A Prouty presided The hearing was
at the instance of the Cattle Growers
Interstate executive committee, repre-
scnting all organized cattlemen. Tes-
timony was also taken in the Texas
cattle raisers' case against the south
western lines, alleging unreasonable
rates and poor service.
The cattlemen produced evidence to
show that rates were generally higher
than they have ever been and service
very much worse than when rates were
lower II was shown that from Denver
common points and southwestern points
to the northwest rates were advanced,
while west of the mountains rates were
practically unchanged. The advance
has largely come about through a
change in the method OF charging from
dollars per car TO cents per 100 pounds
The railroads practically admit the
poor service and promise amendment
They admit the increase in rates but
claim that rates have been too low
that they provide special service for
livestock and are entitled to more
money. Stockmen insist that they get
no special service, but that the hulk Of
livestock is handled on freight trains
with dead freight. Where special serv-
ice Is given is where enough stock is
shipped to make a trainload, and the
railroads viii do the same for any
other commodity providing sufficient
tonnage.
The commission decided to consoli-
date the two cases into the Texas cat
tie. raisers' case. and the railroads Will
put in testimony at a further hearing
10 be held in Chicago about the middle
Of November. There was a large at
tendance of prominent railroad traffic
officials. and some of the larger stock
Taisers in the west were put on the
witness stand. StOckmen are confident
that they will ultimately get an order
from the commission putting back the
rates complained of 10 what they were
six years ago under the old car lot
rate tariff. Should such an order is
sue. stock shippers who have paid the
advance rate will be entitled to recov-
er many thousands of dollars they
have paid under the old rate. The rail-
roads have half a dozen attorneys
fighting the case, while the stOckmen
are represented by Attorney :. ).
