to weakness.
A bear attack was inaugurated
against Union Pacific. based upon the
litigation which the government has
begun against this company and its
constituent properties. The decline,
however, was of small consequences

A Knotty Problem.

Miss Elizabeth Magic. the intelligent
Chicago girl who stirred the country
by Offering to sell herself to the high
est bidder, was discussing with re-
porter the condition of girl workers in
big cities.
1T Is a deplorable condition" she
said, and how to better it is a prob
lem. And unanswerabIe problem. a
problem that takes one aback."
She smiled.
1T reminds me-" she said, of thing
that happened on a railroad.
"A young man. on certain excur-
sion train, noticed poor woman who
stood up and searched her pockets
wildly.
Have you been robbed. ma'am?'
he inquired.
".Oh. no. she answered; but it's
Just as bad I've lost my ticket, and
I've no money The railroad will ar
rest me for fraud
Well said the young man, I've got
no money, either; but here. take my
ticket, and I'll give the brakeman a
problem.
when the brakeman came through
the young man, to confuse him, kept
moving about the car. Finally, though,
he was cOrnered.

young man.

man.

"'wen see about this. I'll call the
conductor.
When the conductor came, he said
to the young man with a scowl:
Where's your ticket?'
He's got my ticket was the reply.
See if he hasn't got a ticket with a
small piece off the corner.
why. yes, you have, Jim. There
it is; said the conductor reproachfully.
And here's the piece said the young
man. See if it don't fit

brakeman went of arguing and gesti-
oulating.

FROM DOWN
THE STATE
Telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana

Indianapolis, Dec. S.-The railroad
commission IS investigating charges Of
discrimination in car service that have
been preferred against the Southern
Indiana Railroad company by II. W.
Litsinger, vice president of the
acknowledgements Coal company, Of
Bloomfield. The letter preferring the
charges states that this mine has been
Disseminated against in that it has
not received proportionally as many
cars as some Of its neighboring mines.
The letter states that the capacity Of
the mine is twenty cars. each hav
ing thirty-two tons capacity a day.
His Mine Only Is in Trouble.
The letter states that week before
last this company received only fifteen
cars, and the mine worked only eight
hours; that last week the same num-
Der of cars were received and the mine
worked eight and one-half hours; and
that so far this week-the letter was
written Thursday-Only nine cars have
been received and the mine has worked
only five hours. The letter also states
that other mines in the same neighbor-
hood have been working continuous
~ for the last two months, and the
conclusion of the writer is that this
company has been treated unfairly in
the matter"
nvestigatOr Has Been Sent.
In order to investigate the charges
and see whether or not the alleged dis
elimination against some companies
and in favor of other companies act
ually existed. the commission sent its
clerk, L. f. Morton, and Harry B.
McNecly, of this city, to the Southern
road with instructions to go to the
billing stations and make a record
of the car distribution to the different
mines.
Rule Favored by the Board.
1t is supposed that the investiga-
ton will show whether or not the al
legged discrimination really exists. 1t
seems that the idea of the commission
is that each coal company should get
cars for shipment somewhat in pro
portion to its output
