RATE BILL PASSED.
National House Votes Almost In

res OF the Bill.

Washington, Feb, S.-The Hep

House passed to-day as explained by
the author, Representative Hepburn

state Commerce Commission author
ity when a rate has been complained
of as unreasonable" by shippers to
investigate that rate an state whether
or not it is unreasonable and if to be
unreasonable name a rate which
is Just and reasonable and fairly re.
munerative whick is to be the maxi
mum rate to be charged. This rate,
so fixed is to go into effect thirty
days after it is announced by the
commission subject during that time
to be set aside or suspended by the
commission or by the court. After
going into effect it is to remain a
rate for three years.
During this three year period, az
cording to the opinions expressed by
those who have participated in the
debate this rate must also be re-
viewed by the court and if found to
be in conflict either with the terms of
the act or with the constitution by
beinp coniscator it can be set
aside by the courts.

INVITE KINFOLKS ONLY,

Wedding.

Washington. Feb. l2.-President
Roosevelt authorized the following
statement, which was given out at
the White House to-day.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
ask the kind consideration of many
friends who would under ordinary
circumstances receive invitations to
Miss Roosevelt's wedding. The ca
pacity of the White House required
that under existing circumstances
invitations be limited to the closest
kinfolk. the personal friends of Miss
Roosevelt and Mr.. Longsworth and
certain classes of officials in Wash
ington.
mo friends of the President or
Mrs Roosevelt are being asked unless
they also come within one of these
classes. and even with these limita-
tions the number of guests threatens
to over tax the capacity of the White
House"

GIRL KILLS TIGER.
Chicago Woman Saves Mans
Life in an Indian
Jungle.

The latest adventure of a Chicago
girl is that of Mrs. Lionel Warren,
formeraly Miss Anges Lee, who has
returned to America from India,
where she has spent the summer
shooting tigers. This modern Diana
invaded the Indian jungles and spent
days in the vicinity Of the watering
places and the lairs of Bengal tigers.
Mounted on a half-trained ele-
phant, and armed with a small-boro
Krag-Jorgensen, the plucky little
woman crashed into the mysteri us
tangle of the interior until she had
penetrated further than any Euro
pean foot ever had gone.
Mrs. Warren thus recounts the
story of her first encounter with the
tigers:
I'VE mounted the elephants, with
provisions for two days, sent fourth.
Suddenly the guides gave the signal
to halt. A second later magnificent
tiger bounded out of the thicket,
snarling with surprise and rage
evidently the beast had been caught
mapping. Before he gained the
thicket a shot shattered his fore
leg.
Instead of turning at bay he gave
a prodigous leap into the air, revolv'
ing with lightening-like rapidly,
and tearing at the damaged leg as
if it were the offender. Clouds of
dust from the sunbaked earth hid him
from view as he plunged on in his
blind fury.
Colonel Ellis (the army officer
who had joined the expedition and
three natives dismounted in pursuit
of the wounded monster. One of
the hunters came running toward us
with a shout. Colonel Ellis, emerg-
ing from the thicket, found himself
in the open, the wounded tigers
scarcely 80 PAGES away. The native
were too demoralized to do anything
but run. Colonel Ellis fired point
blank at the breast, but missed.

good. raised my small-boro rifle

isement the splendid brute bounded

Railroad engineers are convinced

st. Joseph in a southwesternly course

railroad builders, have encountered
trouble in making fills. On one line
/ the conductor has been working
since last August trying to fill
holes.
Into one hole has been dumped 81
600 square yards of material. Work
men have worked all day dumping
carloads of sand and gravel. only to
return in the morning to find that it
had gone down out of sight. Poles
have been driven with like result.
The fills has cost about S25. 200. and
