 St. Paul, Minn,. Aug. 6.-'Instead of giving rebates the railroad now ma nipuate their tariff schedules" de- clared A. B. Stickney, President of the Chicago Great Western Railroad at the hearing today before the State Rail road and Warehouse Commission.
 "I have called the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission to the fact that the constant filing of new tariff schedules by the companies ought not to be allowed. The manipulation of these tariff schedules by the rail- roads has taken the place of rebates. .'
 The whole discussion of the tempo . rary character of the freight schedules now In effect all over the country was precipitated by MT. Manahan asking MT. Stickney if it were not true that coal was often carried between Chicago and St. Paul at less than the published rates of 10 cents

Youthful wanderer,

At S:15 o'clock this morning, during the heavy downpour of rain. a wee tot of a child was seen walking along the sidewalk on Royal, near Dauphin Street, dressed only in a little gingham frock. The child apeared to be utterly unconcerned and was complacently chewing away on chunk of gum.
 A policeman took the child in charge and tried to learn her name and home. Falling in this, he took her to police headuuarters, where the dripping gar ment was removed and the body and limbs wrapped in coat until the frock could be dried out. Later the anxious mother residing on Royal near Eslava Street, secured her baby and left in a far happier frame of mind than when she went out to seek the wanderer.
