Favors Long Haul Rates.

A Chicago correspondent was recent
ly here investigating the manufactur-
ing industries of Rock Island and Mo-
line with reference to the points where
the greatest portion of the output is
marketed. the object being to find ar
guments to uphold the railways in their
to rate legislation by con-
gress. He submits. as a result of his
research letter in which he takes the
position that the twin-cities would be
affected adversely by federal rate con-
troll, holding that. as a large portion of
the output of local factories finds dis
tant market. the present system Of
freight charges discriminating in favor
of the long haul is beneficial here, and
its abolishment would be injurious 81

LAST TRIP OF THE ST. PAUL
Big Boats Will Soon Put Up for the
Winter.

The steamer st. Paul goes down to-
morrow on her last trip of this season
from St. Paul. She will run TO St.
Louis and return To Dubuque, to go on
the ways for the winter. The other
Diamond 10 boats will.be discontinued

St Louis in the short line trade. The
Quincy will be up from st. Louis to-
morrow. and will make round trip 10
St. Paul, laying up at st. Louis next
week. Business on the through pack
cts has been exceptionally good this
season, and the short line between
Rock Island and St Louis overreached
all expectations. The short line was
extended to Rock Island as an expert
ment. and will probably be made per
manent feature in the future.
The packets Helen Blair and Eclipse

I'VE have cast our lot among you, not

you had to have us, but as a matter OF
choice; because we believe in the future
of your town and county. Tucumcari is

an important railroad point in the near
future"
Continuing; the News says:
The political policy of this paper will
be Republican, because we belie.e the
Republican party is the party of progress
and hence, should be the party OF the peo-
Pile, who accepted its principles and made
1t their choice by a majority OF a million

stamp of Republican journals who believe
there are no noblemen, but Romans

The last sentence above quoted from the

went into the country to serve a writ OF
attachment on J. w. Hern, and when they
approached the home of the Herns they
we're received at the opon muzzles of three
shot guns and invited to retire. hey
did so without protest.
Sheriff Street brought them in Tuesday
night: they were arraigned before Judge
Lawson. Preliminary trial was had and
]. w. Hern and Elmer Hern were bound
over in the sum of 800 and Monroe Hern
in the sum of 5000 to await the action Of
the Grand Jury.
The evidence on the part Of the prosecu-
ton showed that deputy sheriff Sam Hard
wick went out to thisr ranch to serve a writ
of attachment upon Hern in a suit brought
against him by d. N. Williams. Hard
wick was accompanied by Mr.. Williams and
Attorney Hittson. Upon their arrival the
defendant resisted the service of the writ
Hittson and Williams with shot guns. They
deeming prudence the better par, of valor,
made a dignitied retreat.
The defense offered no evidence. The
defendants gave bond and we're released.
