THE DYNAMITE PLOT.

Three Pounds of the Deadly Explosive
 Found Ready for Blowing Up Bridge
 -Evidently No Intention of Killing
 Anyone.
 The dynamite plot to blow up the new Kimberly avenue bridge shows by careful investigation that the intention was purely and simply matter of lay ing in the dust the work and material Of the American Bridge company, and that there was no intention of killing any one connected with it's construc- ton, The undertaking was deliberately planned, and had the undertaking been carried out the explosion of the boiler, fin which the cartridges were placed, and the resulting work of death and destruction, would have been wholly obliterated, and all traces of the foul crime would have been destroyed. The matter has created much alarm among the men of Sheriff Dunham's staff, and the men from. the Fields detective. agency in New York who are guarding the work. and their forces have been.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Freight Brokerage Is a New
Industry in Railway World.
Is Payment of Commissions
One Form Of Rebate2
RATE FIGHT IMMINENT.
Decentralization of Tariffs on

RATE FIGHT IMMINENT.

Chicago, June 2.-Freight brokerage
is a new industry which has grown up
since the passage of the Elkins law,
and which is said to threaten the rate
situation over the entire country. After
the passage of the Elkins law prohibit
ing rebates some genius conceived the
idea of establishing an office for the
solicitation of freight traffic. He was
enabled to induce some of the eastern
roads to pay him a liberal commission
on the Il affic secured and routed over
their lines
The ext move in the game was to
get a division of the commission with
the shippers who were clients of the
broker. In this way the shipper secur-
ed what amounted in effect to a rebate
from the tariff rates, the broker made a
good thing out of it, and the railroad
secured traffic which it might not 9TH
erwise have secured.
The possibilities in the freight broker
age business developed so rapidly that
brokers began to spring up on every
hand The shippers soon realized they
could do better with the brokers than
with the railroad officials, and the re-
suit was that the brokerage business
f1ourished amazingly. It is said the
conditions now are such that there is
no longer stability of rates, for many
Of the biggest shippers in the east are
routing all of their shipments through
the agencies.

TO SINK TEST WE'LL.
Santa Fe to Bore for Artesian Water
in EstancIa Valley.


in Estancia Valley.
The Santa Fe Railway company has
decided to test the matter of artesian
water in the Estancia valley, and as
usual with that company, to decide is
to act, and they have already given
j. V. Key, the engineer in charge. the
authority to go to work, says the
Estancia News.
The well will be near Willard and
will be put down to a depth of 1000
feet, unless artesian water is struck
before that depth is reached The
water in a we'll near Willard sunk by
Contractor SIinkard during work there
two years ago was tested and proved
to be the best water on the entire line
and is yet, with the possible exception
OF the water at MOuntainair, which
has never been analysed and which is
said to be very fine water. Pure water
means a great deal to a railroad COM
pany and it was quality of this water
that prompted the company to drill
for artesian water.
This test we'll will mean a great deal
to the EStancia valley. 1t is the uni
versal opinion of those who have in
vestigated this valley that artesian
water will be found at that depth or
before, and the only reason that q, test
has not already been made is the pow
erty of the people. The spirit has
been willing all along, but it has been
impossible to secure the funds neces-
sary. This will test the matter and
forever settle the question as to
whether or not it is a pumping propo-
sition. If it is, the quicker the people
find it out the better. Unless artesian
water is developed at that depth or
less, windmill irrigation on this shall
low is cheaper and the people will
know what they have to do as soon
as this test is made.
1t is the policy of the Santa Fe
company to take care of the country
it crosses and it is probable that this
is not the only good thing it has in
view for this valley.

of the suspension of five props for

after the election of the new president,
but in the meantime refused to allow
the faculty to suspend any student for
a period to extend over examination
