sure of this The amount reserved is based
on all experience of the national govern

point. because it had determined that the
building must be constructed within The
limit of cost Of 50, 100000. and that under
no circumstances would it again ask Con-
greSs for increase of the limit of cosS.
THE commission asked for separate bids
for furnishing the stone in order to save
time and money, and believes that it has

commerce commission today by the rail-
road commission of Kentucky, against
the Illinons Central Railroad Company.
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway Company. alleging a discrimina-
ton of freight rates on grain from certain
points in Kentucky to Atlanta, Ga. The
petition charges that the defendant corpora
tions discriminate in their grain freight
charges against Morganfield and Union
town, Kentucky, in favor of other Ohio
river points and that the rates charged
shippers from Morganfield and Uniontown
are excessive and irreparably injurious to
those shippers.

asked to investigate the charges and to in
stitute such proceedings as will prevent
the defendant corporations from charging
more than twenty-five cents a hundred on
grain shipped from Morganfield and Union
town to Atlanta.

Bryan as a Preacher.

Wl.nam Jennings Bryan filled the
pulpit of the Methodist church at Nor
NAL, Neb., on Sunday last. The r"-
port says that his text was, Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they sha
see God" Mr.. Bryan might have
made an extraordinary preacher. 1t
was not uncommon in the early days
of Methodism for lawyers to become
local preachers. Some of the most
interesting and impressive preachers
in England have been lawyers in ac-
tive practice. Such has been the case
within a few years in different parts
of this country.
Mr. Bryan is a Presbyterian. How
he came to preach in this Methodist
church is not reported, but he will
never lack hearing as long as he has
his voice. his perfect mastery of him
self, his expressive eyes, and his ex-
traordinary vocabulary. Entirely
apart from political bias, one thing
can be said of him, that nothing In
speech vulgar or morally depraving
has ever been even so much as char =
ed against him-Christian Advocate
(Methodist).

OILED ROADS EFFECTIVE.
Rudolph Martin Testifies to Their
Great Value.

According to Rudolph Martin, who
has just returned from a visit to Cali
fornia, crude oil is now being used
quite generally upon the roads and
streets in the southern part of that
state, and with fine results. In speak
ing of the streets of San Jose Mr..
Martin said yesterday that they were
as hard and compact as asphalt and
that there they was absolutely no
dust upon them. Also that practical
ly all of the streets are oiled, and
likewise the country roads. the dust
upon both being entirely abolished
by the use Of oil.
In the making of oiled roads Mr..
Martin says that first a coat of oil is
sprinkled on the road, then a layer
of sand is placed, on top of which
more oil is 3prinkled. Then the road
is well packed by means of a steam
roller.
The OIL sprinkler used is said to be
very similar to an ordinary street
sprinkler, and the crude oil being
taken from the wells of that state
costs but S5 cents per barrel. In re-
gard to the expense of the process
Mr.. Martin is of the belief that 1t Is
not great or 1t could not be used Sc
extensively, and he believes that 1t is
worth while for the local authorities
to investigate the subject, with view
to using 1t in this county.

Diamond smuggling by foreign sail.
ors is again causing trouble for the
local customs officials, says the Seattle
Star.
Most of the diamonds smuggled
into the United States through the
port of Seattle or across the boundary
from British Columbia are brought
here by vessels flying the German or
French flag.
From the French ship Turgot,
which arrived in Seattle from Ant
werp, Germany, a few days ago, it is
stated that large quantity of dia-
monds was smuggled ashore.
The sailors are able to escape the
vigilance of the customs officers, ow-
ing to the fact that the vessel affords
so many secure hiding places where
the diamonds may be secreted until
the ship has been searched by the gov
ernment men.
The men, after the vessel has been
searched, slip ashore in small boats
during the night and sell the jewels
| to brokers in this city.
1t is stated by the steamship men
that during the course of year fully
| S1,0O0,000 worth of diamonds arc
smuggled into this port
Frequenters Of the different sail
ors' houses who are familiar with this
method of making money by follower
of the sea, state that the foreigners
secure their diamonds at very Low
cost in European ports.
1t is understood that brokers here
in Seattle do regular diamond bust
ness among the sailors by this method
