JOINT RATES ARE ORDERED
Iowa Railroad Commission VIII Conn
pei Steam Roads and Inter-
urbans to Confer.
(From a Stan Correspondent. }


pES MONIES, July a.-(SpeciaL Am
order was issued by the Iowa Railroad COM
mission to the effect that steam roads must
make joint rates with interurbans after
August l. when the joint freight rate
schedule goes into effect. The order was
issued in the case of the Boone Brick. Tile
and Paving company against the Newton
G Northwestern.
The Newton & Northwestern is an inter-
urban, owning the line from Ames 10 the
State Agricultural college grounds. The
brick company ships brick from Boone To
the college grounds. 1t maintained that
the interurban was entitled only To a
switching charge from Ames to the col
lege. The Chicago & Northwestern. over
which the brick was shipped to Ames, was
really back OF the deal The interurban
maintained that II was entitled to the min
imum charge for a shipment.
The railroad commission took the ground
that II It allowed the charge to be a switch
ing charge the steam roads all over the
state would make switches of the interur-
bans. II therefore ruled with the inteRur-
ban that 1t was entitled to the minimum
shipping charge, the distance being about
two miles, After August / the rate must
be Joint rate Of so per cent Of the locals.
The order OF the commission, IL Is be-
heved, will result in the Chicago & North
western building switching spur to the
college grounds, the tracks OF the road
already going through the college farm.

RAMESES GIGANTIC FRAUD
EgypsOIOgists Declare He Was Vain,
Did Nothing, but Fooled
Posterity.

LONDON, July 81 1-Egyptoiogists claim
that they have discovered that Ram
eses II was fraud and that he is not en-
titled to the appellation OF "Great" which
historians have given him. Recent ex-
plorations, It is stated, have developed the
fact that the many temples end monu-
ments bearing his name, and therefore,
supposedly his work. existed 1000 years
before him. The explorer believes the king
was vain and caused his name to be cut
everywhere.
Prof Navins, one OF the oficiaI explorers
OF antiquities .n Egypt, had this to say
about Rameses: $500
The more we discover about Rameses the
more convinced we are that he was a fraud
He was not great in any way, but his van
ity was colossal. To satisfy this he con-
ceived- the notion OF causing his name to
be inscribed on every temple, statue and
monument that he imagined would stand
the test of time. The plan succeeded only
too well for many years. In consequence
OF It explorers united in deciding that he
must have been a great king. Now we are
beginning to md him out.

Clarke was the leader and was the only
one sentenced to hang Vain got a life

part of officer Joseph Ballew of South
Omaha, colored policeman. He suspected
the rendezvous of the murderers as the
home Of a certain female negro character
in South Omaha. He went to the house,
but the woman at first persistently denied
all knowledge of the men or affair; finally
she admitted having made masks for the
men. Oficer Ballew persisted in searching
the premises and was rewarded by finding
one Of the criminals under the bed, clinging
with his hands and feet to the bottom of
the springs under the mattress Having
one in hand, It was easy work for him to
secure the other two.
