ST. LOUIS FAIR MAY
CAUSE RATE WAR
Efforts to Divert Travel to Ex-
position City May Lead
to, Trouble

In an effort to stimulate travel to
the worlds fair the ST. Louis terminal
lines are said to be leading the West
ern rail lines into one of the most
bitter rate wars that has ever been
fought in this section of the country.
From every section Of the country
travellers are being brought into st.
Louis by long and circuitous routes
and are only paying short line mile
age. Every inducement possible, in
cluding stopover privileges, are being
granted to get people to the fair.
1t is asseAted that tickets are sold
from Texas points to Denver by way
of st. Louis and return at rates which
allow big margin for scalpers.
The condition is similar to selling
tickets from Cincinnati by way of ST.
Paul to st. Louis at the same rate as
direct from Cincinnati to ST. Louis.
Tickets are sold at st. Paul by way of
Kansas City to st. Louis under similar
conditions.
The regular normal rate from the
Twin Cities to the worlds fair city
and return by way of Kansas City
would be $43.30. This has been re-
duced by some of the lines to $500,
with the privilege of a fifteen day
stopoveT@at the exposition. This is a
cut of $24.10 from the regular normal
rate
There has been considerable CORE
spondence between Chairman Mac
Leod, of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, and General Passenger Agent
Elmer, of the Chicago Great Western,
regarding this matter.
The chairman maintains that from
ST. Paul to st. Louis by way of Kan
sas City is not a recognized route and
tickets should not be sold over it. Mr..
Elmer, however, contends that no rule
ever has been adopted that the route
shall not be used, and, therefore, his
company has a right to use it.

The swimming season at Lake Har-

readiness for the swarms of bathers
who will throng the little pool during
the balance of the summer. Compe-
tent men will be in charge to look
after the safety Of the swimmers and
all boys under fifteen years of age
will be admitted free today. All are,
however, requested to bring their own
bathing suits as there are but twelve
dozen at the lake.
Considerable trouble will be en-
countered during the season on ac-
count of the close proximity of the
spectators. The pool, which is small
one, has been the receptacle for all
cracker-jack boxes and any paper mat
ter that was lying around loose. The
board will issue notices to the public
that it IS a misdemeanor to throw any
thing in the swimming pool, and all

Ferocious Rabbits

A correspondent Of the Washington
Post tells of rabbit which killed a
hound with one blow of its claws. A
rabbit IS more dangerous than is really
thought Last winter on Pocosin
Greek John Hobbs, while hunting rab-
bits, had his dog run one into a hollow
log. AS he stopped to peep into the
log the rabbit leaped out full against
Mr.. Hobbs, breaking his nose and
knocking him upon his dog with such
force as to crush that animal to
death. The rabbit escaped. We don't
know as to the truth of the story in
the Washington Post, but Mr. Hobbs
is living but disfgured witness of the
tragedy on Pocosin Creek-Princeton
