BELOIT, Wis, Oct. 5.-The Wiscon-

its business session yesterday. Duncan
McGreg0r of PlatteyiIc was elected
moderator without opposition. H. A.
Miner OF Madison was reelected regis
trar for three years. 1t is proposed 10
bring all the work of the church under
Il closer supervision. The convention re-
fcrrcd the matter to Il special commit
tee.
The place for the next meeting was
left with the officers to select. The con
vcntion decided hereafter the ordination
Of clcrgymcn shall be in the hands of i
council. 1t was decided to have Il course
Of study which all applicants for the
ministry will be required TO take if they
have not had the benefits Of college
course.
Or. Il. c. Hughes, president Of Ripon
college, spoke on Our Christian Col.
leGcs, saying IN part:
II hay" no sympathy with those who
criticize our state universities as ire
ligious: their faculties contain many
cody men and women. The students are
from all parts of the state and represent
not only the average life of the state,
but BETTER than the average. These west
ern state universities have become a
fixed feature i'll our state life, and they
demand and deserve the best attention
of our Christian church; but because
they are state institutions they do not
have the freedom i'll religious teaching
accorded the Christian college"

LUMBER RATES WRONG
CANNOT BE APPLIED TO TRIM
MINGS AND LIKE.
Railway Commission Also Orders That
City of Osceola Be Provided with
Better Shipping Facilities.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. -[Special.I
The railway rate commission this
morning handed down two decisions of
Importance to shippers of lumber. The
railroads are forbidden to charge lumber
rates on trimmings or material of all
analogous character.
In the event that the railways operat-
ing III the state fail to agree upon Il rate
for such products satisfactory TO the
board the commission will promu!gate
such tariffs as 1t deems just and reason
able.
The opinions come from the complaint
made by W. II. Campbell of Oshkosh
against the Omaha railroad. Mr.. Camp
bell has been shipping trimmings OF pine
lumber for the manufacture OF boxes,
upon which the railroad company mas
been charging lumber rates. IAe COM
mission holds:
The application OF the lumber rate to the
materials i'll question is not reasonable ana
that the carrier duSiSt in the future from
charging such rate.
In addition the commission made &
general order addressed to all railroads
operating in Wisconsin in which it says:
That the railway companies carrying
products of this kind in Wisconsin enter
into conference for the purpose of adopt
ing uniform classiticatlons and rates for
the products mentioned and i'll eEcn- OF
their failure to arrive ut an agreement
satisfactory TO the commission, this com
mission. after due hearing Will pr0muIgat2
uniform rates and classitications upon such
products.
In the matter of the Osceoa Mill and
Elevator company, for which Senator
James y. trear appeared as attorney,
against the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie Railway company, ask
ing for a spur track, the first petition
of the OsceOla company was dismissed
because it developed at the first hearing
that the point asked for. the connection
for this spur was outside Of the ward
limits of the city Of Osceola and the
commission had no power to give amy
relief.
1t was also brought out in the hear
ing that the station ground was greatly
congested and had not enough side tracks
to afford the public adequate facilities
for the loading and unloading Of freight.
The railroad declined to meet this issue
at the first hearing
The commission instituted an invcS-
tigatiCn and have ordered the railroad
to construct and maintain not less than
600 feet more of sidetrack at Osceola
1t also ordered that suitable road be
built across the track for the accommo-
datiOn OF teams and another road along
the outside of this side track to allow
freight to be loaded and unlOaded. The
railroad is given ninety days to comply.
