YATES TO MAKE CUT
ON FREIGHT RATES
Scale of Horizontal Reduction Soon
To Be Signed-Retaliate
on EIwood.

1t is said on good authority that the
rates in the state, commencing with %
per cent, will soon be signed by mem
bers of the railroad and warehouse
commission. The board has been di
vided on the matter, Chairman ]. S.
Neville, of Bloomington, favoring the
reduction, while a. l.. French. of Chap
in, refused TO affiX his signature The
manufacturers and jobbers of the state
have been working for the reduction
for two years. and now hope that it
will be approved by the commission
members.
The failure of the commissioners to
adopt the reduction after a long hear
ing had been held resulted in many
criticisms against Gov. Yates before
and during the republican state con
vention. Mr. French, who was blamed
for holding up the reduction, is said
to have changed his mind and that the
reduction will become effective about
Aug. l. Chairman Neville is said to
favor the reduction and has re-writ-
ten the order for a lower rate and for
warded it to Mr. French for his sigma
ture.
Col. Isaac l.. Elwood, of DeKalb
county. opposed the reduction. During
the republican state convention he
ansferred the vote from the DeKalb
delegation from Gov. Yates to Col.
Lowden. and as Col. ElwOod. is a
large stakeholder in railroads it is
said this move of the majority of the
commission is actuated by hostility
to Col Elwood. who as the friend of
the railroads would be in the minority
and impotent to prevent the reduc-
ton

ANSWERS CHALLENGE OF
THE DAVENPORT POLICE

Policeman Henry Thode has been
delegated by the Rock Island depart
ment TO answer the challenge received
from the Davenport blue coats for a
game of baseball This afternoon he
IS in conference on the Iowa side with
Matt Lamb, the captain of the Daven-
port team. Thodc states that he will
agree 10 play only with the under
standing that none but policemen par
dcipate. He will not stand for any
ringers. The challenge provides that
the contest shall take place on the
Davenport grounds. The Rock Island
policemen have made this concession
70 their neighhors. but il is hardly
likely they will stand for a Davenport
umpire. One from some state other
than Illinois or Iowa will be chosen
probably.

on.

Mrs. Frank Baushke, of the religious
sect known as the Flying Rollers, -
Israelites, who came here recently
from Benton Harbor, Mich, to hold
public meetings, was injured yester-
day afternoon about O'Clock by be
ing thrown from the wagon they trav-
el in. While she was quite painfully
injured, she is not in a dangerous CON

sist the other members of the sect
in their meeting TO be held on Mar
ket square tonight.
The party was driving south on
Thirty-first street when they went into
the alley leading out on Fifth avenue,
but it is so curved as to lead one
unacquainted with the locality to be
lieve that it is not open. After hav-
ing driven up the alley for a short
distance. Mr.. Baushke attempted to
turn around and go back on Thirty
first street.
Horses Troublesome.
The horses were somewhat fractions
and before he could bring them to
halt they had backed the wagon
against a knoll with sufficient force to
tear the front running gear from the
wagon, allowing it to turn party over,
throwing the occupants out.
Mrs. BOushke was the only one hurt.
She was taken into Hoge Wingmuth' 5
residence, situated at the end of
Thirty-first street. \ doctor was sum
moned and attended her injuries, and
reduced her pain. Owing to the acct
dent the band did not have public
meeting in Moline last evening, as
planned. In the wagon at the time of
the accident were Mr.. and Mrs.
Baushke and Miss Grace Reeves.
Mortal Body Ia Live On.
The members of this sect claim to
represent the house of David. and are
out five and six months of each year
over the country and teach the i'm
mortality of the mortal body.
They say their mission is to gather
in the lost tribes of the children of
Israel, which, they claim, will be &C
complished in due time.

MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION.

According to a statement Just issued
by State Treasurer Miller Mississippi is
spending more money per capita than
any other State in the Union, save Mas
sachusetts, on account Of education, and
is really beggaring herself In order that
her children may be sent out into the
world prepared to do battle with the
best.
During the year 1908 the total receipts
at the Office Of the State Treasurer were
1926, ,67i.55, OF which 81, ,727, ,7S4.28 were
paid out on account OF education. OF
this sum 81 10000 went to the public
schools. This year the expenditures on
account of the public schools will be
even greater, for the reason that the
poll tar, heretofore turned into the
State treasury, is now retained in the
county where paid and the State makes
no charge against that source of school
revenue.
Mississippians are proud OF the recorc
their State is making along sducationa
and all other lines. She is doing the
very best she can and nothing mole car
be expected,

triotism in this solutiona Except for a
single and nameless crime against the
women of our land, there Is no thought
full man in all the South who does not
deprecate lynch law, or who doubts that

"If, however, there are among us men

sometimes expresses itself in public

During the last two or three years
the stockmen have united to put down
all these dangerous characters, often by

armed cowboys, and as a consequence
most of our territory is aw-abiding.'

HILL OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Roosevelt Denounced as Fraud, OBJ
jectlonabIe 70 Own Party.

Binghampton, N. Y, Aug. 25.-For-
mer Senator David B. Hill opened the
Democratic campaign in Broome County
to-day, in speech at the Agricultural
Fair, at Deposit. In the course of his
ADDRESS Senator Hill touched upon the
tariff question, saying he believed in an
honest revision Of the tariff laws, so that
vast corporation interests should not be
subserved to the detriment of the peo-
pie. Referring to the financial interests
OF the country, the Senator said:
"The gold standard has been irrevo-
cably established, so that there is no
necessity for a change. The Democratic
Party, which established the present
currency system, can safely be trusted
whenever the necessity shall arise to
make such changes for the best interests
Of the people.
Speaking Of the essential differences
between the Republican and Democratic
Parties, the speaker said the difference
is that the Republican Party stands for
private purposes and the Democratic
Party for public purposes.
"Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
candidate for the presidency" declared
Mr.. Hill, "is fraud. At the time he
took his oath Of office in Buffalo, after
the assassination Of President Nc Kinloy.
he declared in public that he would sim
ply fill McKinley's place; that he would
not look for denomination. Later, on
the same train with McKinley's body, he
gave out statement to the press to the
effect that he thought he had been mis-
understood by the public, which meant
practically that he was candidate for
denomination. The Republicans had
him on their hands and could do nothing
but renominate him."
