GRAIN RATE WAR
IS SETTLED

Chicago, May 6.-After many futile attempts the western railroads suc- ceeded in completing a final settle ment of the grain rate war between Missouri river points and Chicago.
 All have agreed to make proportion al rates from all Missouri river points and have decided that the through rates from Nebraska points to Chicago shall not be lower than the combined locals, excepting from certain Nebras- ka points tributary to the. Sioux City gateway, the latter being a concession the Chicago and Northwestern.
 The St Louis differential is reduced from i've cents to three cents a hun dred pounds, which affords the east bound roads better chance to com pete with the gulf roads.
 Present rates-fve cents on wheat and four cents on other grain-will re- main in effect until the new rates are checked off. and the latter probably will not go into effect until June 1.

COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.
Better Trade This Week and the Out.
 look Very Favorable.

1OOA very V6VOT6W1es
 New York, May Especial advices from important commercial centars to the International Mercantile Agency show that better trade, incident to more seasonable weather, has been re- fected this week in a revival of busi- ness which bids fair to exceed the usual May volume This is peculiarly so of clothing in the northwest, which shows results ahead Of 1903 Tn sec tions where low temperature continues dry goods are quiet with notable falling off of filling in'' orders usual at this season. Spring is still month behind in some regions, although reports from many centers indicate general improve ment over week ago.
 Chicago reports some decline in building operations. due largely to high prices for materials and difficulty in securing supplies. Outlook in other districts is satisfactory with connec- tiOns excellent and most branches of hardware showing decided improve ment. Jobbers report good fall orders and some increase in spring business. Influx of exposition visitors to St Louis has stimulated trade in that vicinity Tobacco is active at the south under the influence of boom prices, from which the producer has thus far de rived small benefit. Textile industry is stin depressed. General distribution of merchandise has been accelerated in most branches during the week.
 Crop news from the northwest is sat- isfactory High prices for wheat have stimulated acreage so that the farmers are unusually active. Conditions this week have been specially favorable for growing crops in Kansas Missouri H. linois, Oklahoma and Iowa.

FREEDOM AND FREEDOM,
There IL n Fatal HOhIaEe Which HUI.
han Presumption Is Not Ashamed
TO Call Liberty.

The liberty of the life without Is of
little service TO him who is In the
throes OF slavery within. When the
Master said that IL He set men free
they would be free indeed, He did not
think for moment OF the circum-
stances OF life. Ii was a freedom of
the sort. that no chains of the earth
could effect Paul in prison was a freer
man than the emperor on his throne.
The emperor had outward freedom; his
word was law, and there were many
who stood ready TO obey his first word:
but he was slave to a cruel passion;
he was in chains OF dissipation: he
was bound hand and foot by the very
life of freedom OF which he boosted;
he was in prison in the machine that
free man; men could bind his feet but
not his heart; they could put him in
the inner dungeon and feed him on
bread and water; but his was the free
dom Of the sons OF God. and there was a
table spread for him in the lower dun
geon, at the head OF which the Master
sat And there was a glory like unto
that which never was seen on land OF
sea: Heaven opened before his mortal
vision This is the difference between
freedom and 'freedom!" What matters
your outer liberty IL within you hear
the rattle of the chains! There is the
freedom to drink strong drink-but
there Is a greater freedom In being able
not to drink it. There Is the freedom
to go just where you please, and go
where you choose to go-but there is
a greater freedom in being able to re-
fuse to go, when "the flesh lusteth
against the spirit" There is only one
real freedom; 1t Is the freedom of the
inner life. There are those who fare
sumptuously every day: but their
hearts food is ashes. is the east wind.
And there are those whose fare is OF
the common sort. while a veritable
banquet is spread before the heart. And
your freedom? Save me from that
fatal bondage which human presump-
toned is not ashamed to call liberty?"

THE pow-R or WJRoS.
TonEue and Lips should lie Watched
AS tnruiy Members Capable
of Doing Great Mischief

That is solennizing sentence in St.
matthew's Gospel beginning. by thy
words 1t contains a warming which
will startle anybody who will stop long
enough to think about it In this sen.
tence Jesus ascribes to words a force
ana significance far beyond that which
we grant them in our ordinary think
Ing. But is not Jesus right? Is it not
true. as He declared, that il is out of
the abundance of the heart that the
mouth speaketh? The Chinese have a
proverb. says Wellspring, expressing
the same idea. Words" the proyerb
says. ARE the sounds of the heart"
AND. as Hazlett has observed. they are
the only things which live forever.
Tney live because man breathes into
tnem the breath of his own immortal
lty. A sound made by the lips Is not
word until the soul pours into II its
feeling or thought. A word is breath
stamped by the mind
IL this be true then in a genuine
sense words are deeds. They are
among the most effective of all the
deeds we perform. 1t Is possible to
caress and to strike with the mouth as
really as with the hand. An orator is
mighty because he can strike with his
tongue. Demosthenes struck the
creeks so hard they could not refrain
from striking Philip. James Otis and
Patrick Henry struck. George III. and
thus made our fathers brave enough to
lVao tneir muskets. Beecher struck
the north until the north struck down
slavery. TSese Illustrations illustrate
the glorious power OF words.
But think Of the fatal imposture and
down-pulling force Of wordsl How
many good causes have been struck |
down by men whose tongues were
wicked! Every community bears the
marks Of this fearful ravages wrought
by the tongue. The description of
James Is as true to life as the day he
wrote 1t: Behold, how much wood Is
kipdled by how small fire! And the
tongue is fire: the world OF iniquity

MAY PROSECUTE
THE BEEF TRUST
House Has Resolution Ordering Action
by Commerce Department
HOW INJUNCTION Is VIOLATED

Washington. March 2-Whether the
beef trust is violating the injunction
resting against ii is to be made the
subject of official investigation by the
department of commerce and labor. &C.
cording to resolution ordered report
ed favorably to the house by the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. Should the house take favor
able action on the resolution, which is
to be called up at the earliest possible
moment by Chairman Hepburn. 1t will
constitute the first instructions from
congress to the new department to ex-
ercise the powers given it under the
law to investigate the operation Of in
dustrial institutions.
The resolution was introduced In the
house February 4. by Representative
Martin, Of South Dakota. Mr.. Martin
was given an extended hearing by the
committee, In which he made the as
sertion that the beef trust" was vio-
lating the spirit of the Injunction. IL
not Its letter. The resolution was
amended so as to provide that the re-
port OF the investigation should go to
the president. as provided in the law
creating the new department, instead
of to congress.
Should the Investigation show viola
tons OF the injunction the matter will
undoubtedly be referred by the presi-
dent to the department of justice, and
the trust" proceeded against for con-
tempt OF court
To illustrate how he believed the in
Junction against the beef trust" was
being evaded by that combination.
which. he stated. consisted OF seven
concerns. Mr.. Martin said he was told
by q stockmap that hs had Just sold a
train load OF fat steers in Chicago.
When he arrived In that city he aought
bids Tor his stock. He went to the
various concerns. but could secure q
bid from only one. He finally accept
ed this bid. His curiosity had been
aroused, and he resolved to see what
the reason was for this Condition. That
night the steers we're separated into
seven equal lots and sent to the seven
different concerns. Explaining further,
MIR. Martin said that before the in
junction was issued It was the custom
OF these firms to agree the night before
on the price they would bid the next
day for beef on the hoof.
To illustrate the profit that he as
serted was being made by the ''teef
trust" Mr.. Martin said that on yebru-
AIRY 1, 1902, the price OF good to extra
steers" was $3.50 per hundredweight.
and the price of good to extra beef
sides" was ss.s71s; on August 1, 1908,
the price of beef sides was the same as
Up February l. but the price of live
beef had dropped to s5.17 per hundred
weight. During the month of August
90, 900 steers were sold on the Chicago
market, making, according to Mr.. Mar
tin, an additional profit to the trust"
for the month of s3.sS2 ,263. This sum,
he declared. would permit OF the pay
ment Of $4,000 per day fine by the seven
companies for violation of the injunc-
ton and leave a handsome profit re-
sulting from the control of the price
Of beef.
