sistance to having the stick, with its
handkerchief resoaked in choloroform,
rubbed about his nose. In ten min
utes he was spraWled on the ground in
a stupor, though DR.. Delaney waited
five minutes longer before he attempt
ed to approach.
He then determined that the bear
was helpless, and, first unfastening
the drag from the rail, he proceed
ed to roll the numbering bruin off the
track. And then DR.. Delaney did
something characteristic. Looking at
the imprisoned brute, with its paw
pinched like a wise in the sharp tooth
ed steel trap, he decided to release it.
With a long handled wrench out Of the
tricycle. tool box he pried open the
jaws Of the trap until he could draw
the bears paw out of it.
Examining the leg where the trap
had snapped down on it, DR.. Delaney
felt satisfied that there were no bones
broken, and with the handkerchief he
had used to chloroform the bear he
bandaged the beasts wounds, pouring
on a plentiful quantity Of linament.
This done, he left the bear to sleep off

Halt ILLINOIS RATE CUT.
Railroads Get Partial Respite from
Reductions Ordered.

Springfield H., Dec. 3O.=The re-
ductiOn of 20 per cent. in the first
five classes of freight rates in the state
OF Illinois Will become effective on
January 1. This was decided on at
L meeting of the railroad and ware
house commission yesterday. Glasses
s to 10, inclusive, will remain the
same until experts, who will begin
work at once, have reached an agree
ment on the comparison of rates with
those in other states.
A conference was held yesterday
between the commission and railroad
attorneys, when the representative OF
the freight interests asked for hear
ing on the proposition to reduce rates
which apply to shipments of coal,
fruits, vegetables, and live stock.
Governor Deneen occupied a seat
with Commissioners Neville and
French at the conference. He asked
a number of questions regarding the
shipment of freight in carload lots and
demonstrated the fact that he is we'll
versed on propositions relating to the
transfer of wares of all kinds.
The petition for d rehearing Of the
freight rate case was filed with the
state commission two weeks ago. At
that time it practically was decided
that no change would be made in the
first i've classes. Railroad men at
that time called attention to the
other classes. Today they contended
CllfAL the rate IS DelOW the maximum
of the schedule and said that if a re-
duction of 20 per cent. went into effect
it would take away all the profits.
They also claim that there has been
no objection to the rate charged for
transfer of freight in carload lots
It WIS decided that six experts are
to be sent to Springfield to compare
tariffs, and the comparisons which
have been filed with the commission,
and when this task is complete the
pending petition for a rehearing prob
ably viii be disposed or.
Former Attorney General H. J.
Hamlin and Attorney Felix Streych-
mans represented the shippers and op-
posed the attempt to reopen the case.
They accepted the proposition to have
a reduction on important classes be-
come effective at once, and will give
the railroads ample time in which To
show that their present rate on trans
farring carload lots is not exorbitant
The experts will arrive in Springfield
soon and work will be commenced i'm
mediately. When the task is com

Oklahoma Town Would Like New
Road to Run Into It.

Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 3O.-A deIega-
ton OF citizens from Hobart Ok. had
an interview here yesterday with A. E.
StlweI, president, and e. Dickinson.
wee president and general manager, of
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Rail
way company, in which they asked the
OFFICIALS of the road to change their
survey, which runs about twenty miles
west OF Hobart so that the road will
connect with the Rock Island ana
Frisco roads in Hobart The Orient
was graded through western Oklahoma
several years ago, before that part of
the territory was opened up to settle
ment.
The road claims the value of the pres
ent grading is $500, 600 and that it could
not afford to change its present routing.
Inc Hobart citizens cOntended that
they would be able to give the Orient
road many times that amount Of Dusi-
ness. Members of the Hobart Com
mercial club who called on President
StllWeIl yesterday were N. Rummons
mayor of Hobart; W. c. Brady, w. H.
Hoisinger, B. NJ. Lovelace and George
Medley
The Orient bridge across the North
Canadian river is now under construc-
ton. Through an arrangement with
the Frisco road the Orient will use the
tracks of that road between Thomas
and Clinton, distance of twenty miles.
The Hobart people urged that some
kind of an agreement be made with
the Frisco road by which tle Orient
road could use the Frisco tracks on into
Hobart, distance of about fifty miles.
From Clinton the Orient is surveye ed
into Altus, o. T., almost directly south
of Hobart The citizens OF Hobart have
been trying to convince the Orient that
a route on which Hobart is one of the
points will be the most direct route
Sixty-two carloads of steel have been
unloaded in Altus to be used in Orient
constru, ton.

A BASEBALL MANAGER.
Leavenworth Association Can't Select
the Man.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 90.-A meeting
of the Leavenworth Base Ball association
last night at which a manager for the
coming year was to have been chosen
failed to arrive at a decision. Three mca
are being considered for the place.
The first named is William Kelly, man
ager Of the Natchez team of the Cot
ton States league last year and of the
Jacksonville, Fla, team in the South At
lantic league the preceding year. The
second is Pennington, formerly shortstop
for Fort Scott some four seasons ago
and a eorl1ing little inhelder- Penning-
ton captained the Bonneville team III the
Iowa state league last year. The third
man is Harry COrbin, one Of last year S
catchers on the local team and Il good
ball player. The objection to CorsA1 is
that he may not have control of his men
as he should.
The association at the meeting last
night decided to give d ball at Turner
hall some time next month. The avail
able funds of the stock company ara low
and it is the intention to thoroughly al
vertise the dance and crowd the hall.
