NO CHANGE IN TARIFFS
road Commission Outvotcd ON Three
Motions.

Montgomery, May 16.-The Alabama
railroad commission today adjourned
after a thorough investigation Of the
railroad rates in this state and after
declining to make any reductions or
allowing any advances in the tariffs
now prevailing. This does not repre-
sent the attitude of President B. 3.
Conner, of the commission, however,
who offered three motions in quick sue
cessiOn which called for radical reduc-
lions in the fertilizer rates and the
rates on numerous articles of common
use which are produced in Alabama.
All of these motions were defeated by
the vote of two to one, his two asso-
ciates commissioners of the board vot-
ing in every instance against him.
The only motion which did prevail
calls upon the railroads operating in
Alabama within forty days to submit
revised tariffs to the commission for
approval, the object being to eliminate
"some inequalities. inaccuracies and
determinations which the associate
commissioners, Messrs. W. c. TunstaIl,
and W. T. Sanders, think exist in the
rates as at present scheduled in Ala
bama.

not now so High Point is building
houses as rapidly as they are built
in boom towns No matter where

out of the sound of the click Of the

NOT VERY BAIMY.
But the Air in North Dakota Is In
MIGRATING.

fTOm L ueSudy daily.
Charles Wright, formerly of South
Bend, but who mas recently establish
ed his home at Webster, n. d., writes
as follows about the country; Il may
say this looks like fine farming coun-
try by the appearance and lay of the
land. There is a very heavy stubble on
the land, indicating that the last years
crop was large. The air is not very
balmy, but quite clear and invigorating.
1t is not very inspiring, that is, not
that kind of inspiration That person
wishes for if he wants to write a
poem. The clouds do not look soft over
head and the woods and hills and val
leys and rivers are not here as they are
along the Blue Earth and Minnesota
rivers"

SKiMMINGS FROM CREAM.
Railroad Surveyors Find an Obstacle
--NewS Notes.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Those railroad surveyors must have
struck hard place between Albert Lea
and Freedom. They have run six diff
ferent lines out and are still working.
They expect to start another crew out
of Freedom to come this way. So we
will look for them at Cream.
The people at Medo are quite elated
over the new railroad map placing the
new railroad across Foley's and Atcher
sons and leaving Cream and st. Clair
about four or five miles to the east of
it. We hope the road will come through
somewhere, and we are ready to move
when it comes.
Mr.. Davidson's family are all out
again after the quarantine. They say
being shut up is worse than the disease.
The social at A. j. Geary's was well
attended and a good program was car
ried out. Mr.. Doyle's whistling was
something fine.
Mrs. S. Hydorn was called to st. Paul

Deputy Sheriff Gerlich has received a

write to you before, but / am poor
writer, though no fault of mine
Through evil nature / was whirled in
this world without my own consent
and left to my own existence and it's
been a sorrowful one. 1 will say to
all / hold no i'll will to anyone there,
although | got a life sentence. / would
have to stay seven years if I was en-
titled to a parole. / hope there will be
a law made to nang any man that will
get over ten years. / would prefer
hanging than to doing ten years here or
half of ten. I hope I will drop out of
this life before the term is OUT

Home Patronage.

Has far more than its commercial
value. 1t is safe, reliable. You know
with whom you are dealing and what
you are getting. That is why you
should patronize home made beers and
WHISTLES in preference to imported ones.
Ours are always fresh, pure and whole
some. Miller Bros, l07 South Front.
