IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION.
HELPS A BIG INDUSTRY
Producers Complained Of Heavy
Charges on Various Commodities
and State Commission After Hear
inss Granted Reliet-Lead Foil Is
Not Tin Foil

The state railroad rate commission
yesterday took another slice OF the
freight rates in Wisconsin. A decis-
ion was rendered declaring that the
rates on cheese were unreasonable
and must be cut down, also that rat As
on other materials in the cheese bus,
mess were too high and likewise
must be reduced. The matter came
before the commission in complaints
from the Southern Wisconsin Cheese
nous Protective association, making
charges against the Illinois Central
Chicago, Milwaukee 4 St Paul and
the Northwestern roads The com.
plant alleged unreasonable rates on
cheese, lead foil, whey butter, and
other materials and products The
cheese industry is of great importanca
in Wisconsin, particularly H. the
counties of Dane, Green, Iowa and
Lafayette. The companies appeared
and answered, denying that the rat,
were unreasonable, and saying with
respect to the rates on lead foil that
the cheese men sold IL with the
cheese and made a great profit out OF
1t, SO that the freight rates were not
too high.
Findings OF the Commission.
After carefully considering the cyi.
dcncc adiuced at the several hear
ings the commission rendered a dccjs.
ion of length. a syllabus Of which is
as follows;
Held, CD that the existing concen
tration system brings advantages to
all the parties in interest but that
the concentration rates lack uniform
ity and system, and that, therefore, a
new schedule OF concentration rates
should be adopted, such schedule be.
ing herein prescribed
GU That the existing rates on
cheese from concentration points to
Milwaukee are excessive and should
be reduced in accordance with the
commodity taru hereby prescribed
ca That carriers shall hereafter
bin lead foil as lead foil and not as
tin foil, and charge the rates applica.
bic to lead foil
ca That existing rates on whey
butter are excessive and that this
product shall be lowered from the
second class basis of rates aud
grouped with third class commodities
60 That all matters connected with
this complaint, not otherwise disposed
Of relate to interstate commerce
and should be brought before the in
terstate commerce commission.

WELL-PosTEp SERVANTS.
English Butler Who Gave His En-
ployer's Daughter Hint
on Etiquette.

There is no parsonage more deeply
and deferentially aware of his own
Importance than the English butler;
next to him in privileges, and ahead
of him in sturdy frankness, must
stand the Scotch gardener says Youths
Companion.
It was Darwin's gardener who,
when q friend of the family inquired
after the health of the famous nat.
uralist, who had been somewhat all
ing, replied confdentially that he did
not doubt his master would be bet
ter IF only he could find something TO
dol" The patient and minute search
in which he daily saw Darwin en-
gagged struck his mind as merely a
foolish and fllssy form of tritling, not
worthy to be considered an occupa-
tion. If, instead of bothering about
the digestive capacity of worthless in
sectivorous plants, the great man had
grown cabbages or raised roses, the
gardeners opinion of him would
doubtless have been higher.
The gardener of Prof. Huxley, with
equal Inconsistencies of doing so.
also cast a slur upon his renowned
employer.
Mrs. Huxley, fearful that he might
be overworked, had inquired if he did
not need some assistance.
NO. came the reply, "the place is
not very large, and Mr.. Huxley Is
almost as good as another man."
Better than either of these true tales
is that CT the butler in fine OLD
English family, whose long service
had caused him to feel personal and
proprietary interest in the sons and
daughters of the house. He could
not acquit himself Of sense of re-
sponsibility for their manners and
conduct, and when at large dinner
party he noticed one cf them, a young
girl who had but recently entered So
ciety, devote an amount of attention
to her agreeable neighbor on the
right obviously in excess Of that ac-
corded TO the less fascinating gentle
man on her other side, his perturba-
tion increased till 1t could no longer
be borne in silence.
Under pretense Of passing her a
dish, he managed cleverly to whisper
in her ear:
"A little more conversation to the
left, miss"

REVERSAL OF METHODS.
Progression Of Ideas Has Worked
Reforms in Applied
Science.

A characteristic feature of modern
engineering is the extent to which
means are modified to suit the desired
ends. Formerly the materials to be
used in machine or structure were
examined and tested, and the quantity
and disposition made accordingly, says
the Forum. Now, however, the re-
verse is frequently the case. A pieca
must be made of given dimensions, or
within certain limitations of weight,
and yet be able to resist certain
stresses; and the engineer must pre-
duce a material capable of meeting the
requirements.
This reversal of methods is not alto
gether a modern affair, but it has
progressed with an accelerating pace.
Thus the demand for larger and
stronger ships led to the replacement
of wood by iron, and again, to tho
supercession of iron by steel; and in
each case it was the demand for bet.
ter material which led to the improve
ment. A similar demand has led, and
is leading, to still greater advances
in the production of special materials,
resulting in the development of the
science of metallurgy, and particular
ly the metallurgy of the special steels,
to a high degree. In some recent dis
cussions Of the subject attention has
been directed to the remarkable prod
ucts among the so-called alloy steels,
developed as result of the application
Of scientific investigation to the de-
mands of the manufacturer. In the
construction of automobiles especially
the requirements for materials have
become most severe. In some parts
great strength is demanded, in others
Itoughness. Some portions must re.
sist extremely high temperatures, while
others are to be subjected to rapid
vibratory stresses. All pieces are re-
quired to be of minimum weight and
maximum resistance; and reliability
is most essential.

Heavy Loss to the State.

A destructive fire, apparently of in
cendiary origin, occurred at the States
Rankin county farm, which destroyed
the entire line of barn structures, to-
gether with all the live stock, which in
cluded fifty-five head of horses and
mules, among them valuable breed
ing jack which was purchased at a cost
of $500 only recently, and a Devon bull
kept for the same purpose, costing al
most as much. In additiod to the stock
killed in the conhagration, all the feed,
hay, corn, oats and bran, harness, gear
and other property, were destroyed.
There was no insurance. Gov. Varda-
man has offered reward of $500 for
information that will lead to the hecapture
of the perpetrators of the outrage.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
BEAR CREEK TO BE DAMmzD.
Power Plant Will Furnish Electricity
for North Mississippi.

A charter has been applied for the
North Mississippi Traction Company.
This company contemplates the cree
tion Of great dam across Bear creek,
fourteen miles south of Iuka, at point
where the hills close in on either side
until the space is only few hundred
feet. The rock bluffs rise on either
side to height of 100 feet and the bot
tom of the stream is also solid rock,
thus forming an ideal site for perma-
nent dam, which will cost from. $50, 900
to $4,000. The power thus damned up
will be used to operate dynamos esti-
mated at 1000 to 5,000-horsepower.
The company will construct an electric
railway, beginning at the mouth OF In
dian creek, on the Tennessee river,
running thence south via Iuka, Tisho-
mingo City, Bay Springs, Fulton,
Amory and Aberdeen, to Columbus,
and may be extended from the latter
place to Jackson. The power furnished
by the big Bear creek dam will not only
be ample for the railway, but will be
sufficient to light all the towns through
which the road passes, besides large
surplus for manufacturing purposes.

Deaf and Dumb Institute.

Superintendent Dobyns of the State

issued an address to the parents of the
deaf and dumb children in the State,
calling attention to the increased facili-
ties that will be afforded by the addi-
tions which the legislature has provided
at this session, in the course of which
he says: st will require year at least
to erect and equip these buildings, and
up to that time only about 110 can be
accommodated, and until this additional
room is provided for l shall have to
adopt the old rule, first come, first
served"

There are many to whom it would be

Always before an invalid should be

itself out in time. One need not, and
indeed one should not make up her
mind that she is to be always in the
clutches of some malady which has her

Men and women today are taking hold
Of life and work with courage and abil

Notwithstanding delays, to enjoy your.

may occasionally touch hands with fell
low passengers who are waiting for

cozy corner of the house into which
neighbors may drop in for little gos'

These bodies of ours are largely un'
der the control of the mind. While It
is the best plan to seek specialist or
turn to that staunch friend, the family
doctor, when anything is out of gear,
it is the part of philosophy, too, not
to give up the ship. You can do many
things if only you think you are
strong enough. If the house were on
fire, many person who is lying back

could not move an inch, let happen

make an attempt to get into fresh air.
There is often heroism in the self-ccn.

HOUSE.


The bill introduced in the House sew
eral days ago by Representative Stegall,
for the relief of the town of Pontotoc
and the resumption of traffic on the Mo-
bile, jackson and Kansas City railroad,
passed the house today by an over
whelming majority, only seven members
voting against it.
The House passed bills appropriating
to the Oyster Commission the sum of
$4,000 for two years to build up the
oyster industry; to the State Univer-
sity, $45,O00 for the erection of Science
Hall and a support fund of 100000 for
two years; to the hospital at Natchez,
$4,000, and $4,000 to similar institu-
tion at Meridian; to the State Board
of Health, $4,000, and $4,000 support
fund; to defray the expenses of litiga-
ton against the Illinois Central Rail-
road by the Railroad Commission, $400
to each of the Code Commissioners,
$1,000; and authorizing the Governor,
in addition to what the State Board
received, to borrow $4,000 if needed
at any time to cope with contagious
diseases.
In revising all the laws concerning
dram shops throughout the State the
House adopted a Senate amendment
prohibiting all females from entering or
buying liquor in saloons; requiring all
saloons to be closed after midnight and
not to open until five in the morning;
penalizing the sale Of patent medicines,
which if drank to excess would produce
intoxication, and placing heavier fine
on the second offense under the dram
shop law. All of these are new features
to the present law governing saloons.
Mr.. Stevens offered an amendment
making it misdemeanor for intoxieat-
ing liquors to be stored in ice plants,
storage rooms, etc, saying that in his
own city young men were led to evil
ways by having keg Of beer in ice
plants.
Mr.. Arnold spoke against the amend
ment, saying il was too drastic and that
it would make any man who had q
bottle Of whisky in his wardrobe 9
criminal
The amendment was withdrawn by
Mr.. Stevens.
Mr.. Samples measure to make lob
bying misdemeanor failed to pass,
several members arguing that the pres
ent resolution was sufficient for prac-
ticable purpose.

acceptance of it. The soul is
leagues away in activity gener-

they cannot be trusted to loafe
they sink instead of rise. One
has to be touched with holy fire
to loafe with moral advantage.
One must have learned to think
the thoughts which are lost and
buried beneath our foolish ac-
tivities. Only the fool needs to
hustle all the time to keep him
out of mischief.

wild regard for breyity in much

made cofins of an arbitrary 500
words to hold the mangled
corpse of their thoughts. They
could not have made more than
a punctilious bow in modern
periodical literature. The think

something to say wanted elbow
room in which to say 1t.
