It resembled, when swept up, fine reddish-yellow pow der.

An entirely novel scheme Of whisky
peddlng has been discovered i'll the
Chickasaw Nation. The culprits, who
are peddlers, Travelled in an old wogan
drawn by poor span Of Indian ponies
and were ostensibly buying eggs and
poultry, but on the sly they would
sell small bottles Of whisky to farmers
and Indians throughout the neighbor-
hood at 81 per pint. The officers DIS
covered that both axles of the wagon
We're of iron and very large. Upon
further investigation 1t was d1scov-
cred that these axleS were hollow and
would hold about four gallons each.

RAIL WAYS IN CONGRESS
Their Republican Friends Hold

Frank w. Barry Tells of HolduD

ic Leader With the Shippers.

Probably no man in the United
States knows more about the com
plants Of shippers over our railroads
in regard to the classification of
freights and the determinations in
freight rates as we'll as the almost uni

pers that congress grant power to the
interstate commerce commission to
regulate the freight rates than does
Mr. Frank w. Barry, commissioner OF
the national board of trade and secre-
tary Of the interstate commerce law
convention.
A bill has been Introduced IN the
house empowering the interstate com
merce commission to regulate rates,
and the organizations back of Mr. Bar
ry are attempting to get 1t through
congress. It was referred to the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
me1ce, where it Is now held up by the
Republican members Of this commit
tee working in the interests OF the
railroads. Mr.. Barry is confident that
| if the bill can be got before the whole
house it can be passed, the pressure in
! it's favor being SO great from all sec
| tions of the country that many Repub,
| licans would he compelled to vote for
it. The Democrats of course are in IA
vor of this bill-in fact, their leader,
Mr.. John Sharp Williams, has intro
duccd just such a bill in the house.
