THE ICE MAN

Madison, Dec. Z.
,rhe City Ice company of Beloit will
doubtless attend the detail of the Wis
consin statute which requires that ice
wagons be labeled with the name OF
the body of water whence the supply
of ice is procured. Some time ago a
letter was sent to this company from the
dairy and food department notifying ii
of its failure to comply with the law
No attention was paid to the letter.
Assistant Commissioner ]. G. Moore
had the company arrested and brought
into court and a police justice imposed
a fine of $50 and costs. Mr.. Moore OBJ
served Saturday that the company
might have purchased a good deal OF
paint for the money rather than paying
it into the state school fund.
L. Bischel, a butcher of Chippewa
Falls, has been arrested and convicted
for using sulphites in Hamburger

Three more meat dealers in the same
city will be brought into court for SIM
lar offenses.
The meat retailers OF Eau Claire are

Springfield, H., Dec. 6.--The state
board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners, after conference
with Governor Deneen yesterday aft
ernoon announced a decision in the
freight rate reduction case, making a
reduction of 20 per cent. from the ex-
listing rates. The reduction is hori-
zontal and applies to all ten classes of
freight and is uniform al. over the
state. The reduction is made on ap-
plication of shippers associations of
Decatur and Springfield. The Chica-
go Shippers association and Peoria
merchants were ON the petition at
first, but they were granted the reduc-
ton asked for and withdrew. When
the decision was announced objec-
tions were made to the reduction by
representatives of the Burlington and
Wabash railroads.
