STRAWBERRY RATES HIGH.
Missouri Congressman Hot After Pri.
vate Car Lines.

Missouri Congressman Hot After Pri-
vate Car Lines
Washington, Oct. 14.-C. N. Shartel,
the new member of congress from
southwestern Missouri, is in town and
is not content with a general decIara-
ton that he is with the president on
the rate question, but he admits he has
a selfish interest in the matter and one
that is shared in by his constituents.
I'VE are most decidedly in favor of
the regulation of the private car lines, -
said Mr.. SharteL Down in the neigh
bOrhood of Neosho we have the great
est strawberry country in some ways in
the United States. Last season we sent
out no less than $50 car loads, and on
one occasion sent a solid train load.
The best rate we could get from the
private car lines was $50 per car to the
nearest market, the charge made for
icing. We discovered Il cost the COM
pany just $25 for rthatiice, and yet we
had no way to reach it and force a rea-
sonable charge"
Mr.; Shartel believes that it is only a
question of a short time until the
freight rate regulation proposition will
resolve itself into a question of uni
form charge per ton per mile, irrespec-
tive of the length of haul.

Sister Rallies on His Arrival
and May Recover.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

San Bernardino, Cal. Oct 14.-As
fast as steam could carry him the
other night Engineer Albert C. Long
of the Santa Fe. was brought to this
city from San Diego in the hope that
he might reach the bedside of his dy-
ing sister, Mrs. Thomas c. Welch, and
the hope was realized.
Mrs. Welch has been in i'll health
for some time, but the night the
record run was made, she grew worse
and all hope of her recovery was given
up. Realizing that she must die Mrs.
WEIGH expressed a wish to see her
brother, Engineer Long.
This word was carried to Superin-
tendent J. r. Hitchcock, who at once
ordered a light engine and crew out
Tor San Diego. Mr.. Long has been
handling a heavy engine in the vicin-
lty of San Diego on the work train. At
the same time the light engine MAS or
dered out from San BernardiuO, Mr..
Long was given orders to bring his en-
glne out from San Diego until he met
the light engine from this city.
The two engines met at Oceanside
and the crews changed engines, En-
gineer Long taking the light engine
from this city and coming in as rapid
" as possible in the hope of reaching
his dying sisters bedside before she
San Diego with the heavy engine to
take care of the work train.
Mr.. Long reached the city about
O'Clock in the morning, after having
made a record breaking run from San
Diego. A half hour later ne was at his
sisters bedside and before his arl ival
no hope for her recovery was held out.
She was still conscious, however, and
able to recognize her brother. An ex-
change of tender greetings between
brother and sister seemed TO give the
sick woman courage for her condition
seemed to improve as If by magic and
in a couple of hours she was stronger
than she had been for weeks. A
chance for her recovery is held out
and the physicians lay it all to the
timely visit of her brother.
Superintendent Hitchcock has been
congratulated warmly by tilroad men.

humane act even though it cost the

The Twenty-ninth battery which is
stationed regularly at Fort Leaven-
