The Brown County World, at
Hiawatha, says Miss Matte Trees, a
country teacher in that county, has
taught for % years without missing Il
day Iro..1 her work. She never
attended high school but is pro-
fcient in many branches not included
in such course. Two interesting
facts are stated: among the county
school teachers to whom she was sent
when child were three farmers in the
school district who were college grad
yates, who took great interest in
their apt pupil, and one of them stat
ed that Miss Trees completed she
first years course in Latin in six
weeks. The other unusual fact is
that, despite the low wages and her
superior qualifications, she always at
tends a teachers Institute; sometimes
in her home county, or sometimes at
the Emporia Normal or some good
town, SO as to get the latest ideas in
teaching. Such teachers are invalua-
BILE, and yet they are often turned
down in order to save the district a
few dollars month

merce Commission to Change Rates.
WASH MOTION, April 1.-THE Supreme
Court to-day heard arguments on a case
which brings squarely before IL the question
as TO the power OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission in correcting an alleged abuse
in the classification Of freight, which prac-
tically amounted to an arbitrary increase
in the rates on one commodity over the
eastern half Of the United States.
In the prosperous times which followed the
Spanish war the capacities Of many Of the
large roads were overtaxed to handle freight,
and in some cases there was an actual
blockade Of cars which took several months
to clear. Following these conditions there
was a general tendency of the roads to adj
vance the rates on many commodities by
changing their classification, Among
others the representatives OF the road in
what is known as "oIhoial classification
territory" which embraces the Lake Shore
and tw~enty-nine other carriers operating
east of Chicago, agreed to advance the rate
on hay in carload lots from rs to 30 cents
per 100 pounds by raising it from the sixth
to the fifth class.
The Interstate Commerce Commission In
1900 investigated complaints fled against
the increased rate and found 1t unjust n
unreasonable, in violation of section = Of
lIe IlltTflHle NOlltntTC6 dCt. IL ISSutt1 AL
order enjoining the thirty roads party to
the agreement from continuing the ~exaction
Of the higher rate, and when they refused
to obey the order brought suit in the United
States Circuit Court for the northern dis
trict OF Ohio for it's enforcement.
Judge Wing, however, dismlssed the
bill, holding that the commission had ex-
ceeded its powers in ordering the roads
to change their rates. The effect of the
finding OF the commission, he contended,
was to fix a rate for the future, which was
clearly unlawful, and as the prayer Of the
bill was the enforcement of a lawful order
II could not he enforced in part.
The commission appealed from that
decision and the case was argued to-day by
l.. A. Shaver, attorney for the commission
AND and az Hyde JSFrYf MOOT q Hfe reprss ee2Tse t w, rail- rail-

Isle closed the case on behalf of the com-
mission.

CHICAGO SANITARY CANAL.
Proposed 10 Foot Waterwa y From Chicago
to ST. Lo uis at q Cost OF $50 900 900.

WASHINGTON, April 1l.-Robert r. Mo-
Cormick. president, and Isham G. Ran
dolph, engineer Of the Chicago Sanitary
Canal, were to-day heard by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee in favor OF a
bill providing for the deepening Of the canal
and the dredging Of the Illinois and Mis-
sissippi rivers SO az to furnish a twenty
foot waterway from Chicago to st, Louis.
The bill provides for the issue Of $50, 900, 900
Of bonds to pay for all the work except
the dredging, and the three power COM
panies who are given the exclusive right to
the water power developed are TO pay 2
per cent. interest on the bonds for ninety
nine years.
The canal engineer desires to Use "A, 800
cubic feet of water per second from Lake
Michigan. but the International Waterways
Commission will not consent to more than
10000 cubic feet, on the ground that any
amount in excess would seriously injure
the flow over Niagara Falls. The COM
mittee took no action.

Illinois Operators Expel Members Who
Signed Scale,

ST. LOUIS, April 11.-Three coal COM
panies we're expelled from membership
In the Illinois Coal Operators Association
at the meeting at the Planters Hotel to-day
for signing the scale demanded by the
miners, The Decatur Coal Company, the
Middleton Coal Company and the Talula
Coal Company, were the ones expelled.
Their aggregate daily output is estimated
at 400 toms. A joint meeting OF repre-
sentatives from the operators and miners
failed to reach an agreement on the scale.
The miners requested that the matter be
taken up by a joint committee to meet at
Indianapolis next Tuesday. Many oper-
ators opposed this. The miners are firm
and the operators look for a long strike.

Clover seeu viii not be DIent1rui IN
this part of Indiana this year, accord
ing to local seed dealers Reports
from farmers who had counted on
having a large clover crop are that
the clover is unusually thin and yield
ing little seed.
The first crop was about an aver
age one and there was an average
quantity of seed of the large Eng
fish clover thrashed out. The secoDd
crop-that from which the seed OF
the small red clover is obtained
has not been as large as was expect
ed There are occasional good fields
in which the yield will be about aver
age, and a few farmers say they have
had for some time. Local seed men
who sold clover seed rather freely
last year are now buying it. expect
ing prices to advance considerably
before next season.

New York, Aug. 27.-The stock
market opened irregular. and with
changes narrower than at any time
since the present upward movement
began. Atkinson and St Paul made
fractionally higher records at 1914
and 1888, respectively. Union Pacific
Southern Pacific, Amalgamated Cop
per and United States Steel stocks
were on the other hand. slightly low
er. Chesapeake & Ohio, Northern Pa
cific and Louisville & Nashville gain
ed 1, Great Northern preferred gain
ed liz and Anaconda AS.
Sales for both accounts caused a
sharp reaction within few minutes
after business began. A subsequent
rise in ST Paul to the record figure
of 1888 had only slight effect in
checking the selling elsewhere,
which was continued later on in
creasing scale. Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Atchison, Reading, Loco
motive and Smelling yielded l to / II
below Saturdays closing, and North
western 2. st. Paul itself eventually
succumbed to this pressure and went
off to 1878. A block of ten thousand
shares of United States Steel was
sold at Al Meanwhile Sugar was
bought heavily and rose 21a, to 144A
Later market rose in sympathy with
a revived demand for ST. Paul and
Atchison, st. Paul crossed 1913 again
and Atchison recovered fully. Lacka-
wanna jumped 23%. to 524 on one
transaction.

His Wife's Hat.

One of the stock jokes with which,
mantle mean, horrid thing-amuses
himself is in signing because he cannot
buy farm and an automobile on ac-
count of The expense he is put to buy
ing his wife new hats.
To hear him delivering his sfavorite
free lecture on this subject one might
think that he made practice of buy
ing flower garden lid for his better
half once a week and maybe once a
day during the rush season. That, dear
unmarried feminine readers. is about
as far from the truth as John L. Sulli-
van is from the presidency
The average man is doing mighty
well if he buys his spouse a bit of mil.
inery every two years. The rest OF
the time she fixes the old one over. and
he raves over it and pronounces it bet
ter than new. That is because he is a
foxy gentleman. but he doesn't fool the
neighbors or his wifes rela tons.
