CONTESTS AT wAvERLY.
Pupils Battle for Championship
Honors.

Waverly, Feb. 27.--Contests in spell
ing writing and multiplication We're
held at the Waverly high school Sat
urday afternoon. Those participating
We're winners of contests held in the
various townships of Bremen county.
These contests, resulted from the initia-
tive of Supt. j. T. Remick, who be-
lieved that special efforts along this
line would be of great benefit to those
participating. The high school room
was crowded with interested listeners.
many of the friends of the contestants
having taken advantage of the special
rates furnished by the W., c. f. and N.
r. r. to those wishing to attend.
The contest was spirited along all
lines, each contestant being the winner
of his local township contest. Much
ability was shown. and those present
hardly agree with the statement so
often heard in these later days that the
youngsters of today are not as good
spoilers as their fathers were in the
olden times. The prize for best pen
manship was awarded to Anna Lobeck,
daughter Of Rev. L. Lobeck of MaXfield
township. Alice Hunt of Sumner town
ship captured the prize in the multipli-
cation contest Iva Saddler of Fred
erika township won in the spelling con-
test.

Interstate Commissioner Prouty
Makes a Speech OH the Rail-
road Question
UNJUST ADVANTAGES GIVEN
Standard Oil Trust Built Up by the
Favors Granted in the Way of Re-
bates, Thus Enabling 1t to Crush Its
creditors-PeopIe Demanding Rate
Legislation.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 2S.-"Railroad
rates rebates laid the foundation of the
Standard Oil Company" declared
Charles A. Prouty of the interstate
commerce commission in an address
before the Massachusetts Board of
Trade Tuesday Mr.. Prouty endeav-
ored to argue away New England OPP
Iposition to the Hepburn bill by warn
ing them against the Standard.
Rockefeller could dominate nearly
every railroad Of consequence in north
ern New England" he said He is in
vesting his income in railroads of
perpetuatng these unjust advantages.
The people who demand this legis-
lation are not socialists. The president
OF the United States, who is at the
head and front OF this movement. is
not socialist. He stands for a decent
thing, and it is not decent thing nor
Wise thing TO permit the monopolists
OF this country TO control without gov
erhmental cneck, as they do today, our
commercial highways"
Thinks Kate sill Will Pass.
There was no doubt in the minds of
those familiar with the actual condi-
tons in congress, Mr.. Prouty said, that
a measure substantially like the Hep
burn bill would become a law at this
session, but a prominent senator had
told him recently that they could not
rely upOn a ljnru vote from, Nyau, U,,rr
land on the passage of the bill. He
pointed out the effect the measure
would have upon New England and en-
tered into an exhaustive analysis of
existing rates as fixed by corporations.
He said the carriers which would be
affected by u reduction of coal rates
for the most part are railroads without
mile OF track in New England, NAM
ing the Delaware, Lacloawanna &
Western, the Reading and the Penn
sylvania.
What I wish to emphasize" he eau
toned, lis that New England suffers
most not from the operation of it's own
railroads, but from those which lie en-
tirely without its borders"
Gives Railroad View.
Edgar j. Rich. general solicitor for
the Boston & Maine railroad, spoke
from the railroad viewpoint.
Let us disabuse our minds of the
impression he said. (which the presi-
dent and the commission are trying to
give that the power Of governmental
regulation sought for is not a general
rate-making power but merely the
right to substitute for a rate con-
demned new and reasonable rate. II
this power could be used only to rem
edy sporadic cases of injustice no one
could complain, but it is admitted that
the commercial bodies of New York
and Chicago could institute proceed
ings which would challenge the rates
of practically the whole country.

CHICAGO Stookyard Notes.

Anything CLASSY" in horses selling
well.
Sheep quoted at IL cents in Liver
poool
Mutton finishers still anxious to un-
load.
T. l.. Bodley, of Newton. Iowa. had
on Monday'ss market two loads of cat
tie and one load of hogs of his own
hogs at S6.15. Mr. Bodley reports q
fine winter for feeding and says all
kinds of stock have done well.
j. Capped a good feeder of Fairbank.
Iowa was on Mondays, market with
four cars of cattle. which sold for s5.25.
He fed these cattle 40 days and was
satisfied with conditions of the mar
ket.
Reports from the east indicate a de-
pressed dressed mutton market
Very ordinary light thin western
lambs sold on feeding account down to
$3.50.
Traders advise against landing lib
eral sheep receipts here the balance of
the week.
George Neddemeyer, a leading stock
man of Charter Oak. Iowa, was here
Monday with two carloads of cows
and heifers of his own feeding which
sold at $4.65. He has two carloads of
steers on feed, but says fat cattle are
scarce. Young hogs are plentiful.
The sheep market displays consid-
cradle unevenness. Buyers wanted
sheep and bought lambs to secure
them, consequently the man having
both was in position to trade where
the exclusive holder of lambs was
handicapped. Good sheep sold close
around steady prices.
Fresh pork products are selling rel
atively much lower than live hogs,
commented Frank Hamilton. This
has been the case for some time, and
it seems impossible to force values for
such to level with live hogs, for the
consumptive demand materially falls
off when values are raised to a very
high level. There is still fairly good
call from the east for products. but
the demand on southern account cuts
but little figure in the trade at this
time although / look for broader
trade from that source just as soon
as the planting season opens up in full
blast"
The Lenten season opens today, al
though in late years Lent has not been
reckoned on as having any very serious
effect on the general consumptive de-
mand. and traders do not fear very
sharp shut-off in buying operations
either in local or eastern quarters.

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago. Feb. 2S.-At the present
time there is a strong discrimination
AGAINST the scrub steer for feeding
nurnoses Country buyers who pat
ronize this market want an animal
which they can convert into a fat
market steer with the minimum
amount of feed and in the shortest
nosslble time. The strongest demand
;s for the well-bred feeder of good
color and conformation. The eNper-
fenced stockman has discovered long
apo flat it pays better to feed a good
animal than poor one. No amount
of feed will make a first class market
stear ont of a scrub, while the high
bred animal will convert feed into good
beef from the start, and VIII sen dof
nr;ce on the market decidedly more
satisfactory to the feeder when nm
ished There is much in the man VINO
is doing the feeding, but no amount
of talent can make a market topper out
of poor material
