NEwRY WINS COMMERCIAL VICTORY.
Railroad Commission Orders Siding and
Makes Other Recommendation.

The state railroad commission, after
a full and impartial hearing, presented
for and against the matter, decided by
unanimous vote that the hamlet of
Newry, midway between Westby and
Cashton. is entitled to railroad facilities
on part of the st. Paul road. 1t has
order that siding be installed there
within thirty days, and further recon-
mends that regular station facilities be
established. The people of that section
did not ask for so many concessions,
but will doubtless be pleased to accept
the better conditions if the road Will
grant them, which is highly probable.
The contention over this service has
been on for two years or more, but
until the railroad commission took
jurisdiction in the matter no satisfaction
could be had by those who were ask
ing for the Improvement. This viii
greatly accommodate people who de-
sire to board trains at that halfway
point, be saving in carriage charges
to the creamery. store and other in
terests located there, and will doubt
less give stimulous to growth in the
little burg.

a TERRIBLE CHAMBERS scouRGE.
RichIand County Man Dies Others are
Afflicted.

One man dead, two in Milwaukee
hospital for treatment; four horses
killed and all the horses in the neighbor-
hood quarantined for 100 days is the
story of the ravages of glanders irs
Riehland county, as told by State Vet
erinarian Roberts, to the news papers.
DIR. Roberts killed four of the horses
affected with the disease and has or
dered all the animals in the neighbor-
hood to be kept on the place where
they are now working for at least 100
days, when a thorough examination will
be made to determine if the disease has
been thoroughly externinated.
Thomas Ryan, a farmer near Hub
City, about ten miles from Richard
Center, traded about year ago for
western horse. The horse was running
at the nose at the time, but it was not
thought to be CHAMBERS. Finally the
owner became infected and died of
bloodpoisoning last July. Nothing pc
culiar was thought at the time until the
son,swho was tending to the horse dur
ing the illness and after the death of
his father, became i'll from a disease
of similar symptoms. He is now in a
Milwaukee hospital
In the meantime Patrick Ryan, bro
ther of the diseased, permitted one of
his horses to be worked with the af-
fected horse, not knowing that the
animal had glanders. This horse has
showed symptoms and now Patrick
Ryan is i'll and has been taken to the
Milwaukee hospital.
DIR. Roberts says there is no cure for
CHAMBERS in horses. The four animals
killed were appraised at $50 each and
the state viii pay two-thirds of the val
ue of the animals.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 20. - Live
stock commission firms in the 10 prin-
cipal markets of the country, that do
an annual business estimated at $780,
100000, were represented here today
at the opening of the National Live
stock Exchange association. The live
stock centers represented included near
ly every city of Importance from Buff
falo to Denver and from ST. Paul to
Fort Worth. Twenty delegates came
from Chicago.
The National Exchange is practically
the clearing house for the various local
exchanges. James q. Swift, of Kansas
City, the president, said this morning
that the norton question, among other
things, will be discussed and said of 1t
In his annual address:
While we regret the passing of the
7-cent hog, we rejoice that his memory
bears no faint OF post norton, and that
he left with us the ever-welcome 7-cen
seers and the lowly sheep, with his
high priced fleece and strong smelling
mutton.
Mr. Swift said that livestock ex-
changes for years had been the butt for
shafts OF cheap ridicule and the basis
for criticism born either of malice or
ignorance.

DIssENsIoNs IN THE RANKS.


San Francisco, July 19.-Yesterday
was busy day in the ranks of the strik-
ing telegraphers at Oakland. There
were committees appointed and many
impromptu consultations held, and dur
ing the afternoon several operators
waited on the three members Of the
executive committee, M. ]. Reidy, s.
j. Konenkamp, and ]. M. Sullivan,
but absoluthte silence was maintained
as to the meeting or the trend OF the
discussions.
1t was evident from the bearing Of
the conferees that. the situation was
considered serious and there were hints
of increasing friction among the leaders
of the strikers. The executive commit
tee came in for severe criticism on ac-
count OF its reported remarks deprecat-
ing the calling of the strike and its APP
parent lack Of sympathy for the local
operators.
1t has been rumored persistently for
the past few days that there was a SER
ious split between President Small and
his executive committeeman.

at sharp curve Of the Pere Marquette
railroad about mile east OF Salem.

speed, probably so miles An hour, down
g steep grade II struck the lighter
locomotive OF tho freight train with
such terrible foree ~ to turn the freight
engine completely around.
Only few OF the freight trains cars
were smashed. and ID took only few
hours work to remove all traces OF
them from the scene. But behind the
two wrecked locomotives six cars OF the
passenger train lay piled In hopeless
wreck.
Four OF the passenger coaches re-
NAMED ON the track but slightly dam
aged, and were used to convey the dead
and injured TO Ionia; one coach was
entirely unchanged, with only its for

coaches next ahead Of this were tele-
scoped. The next car forward stood al
most ON end after the wreck.
Responsibility Is put square upon
the crew OF the freight train by officials
Of the road. Those who arrived at the
scene OF the wreck soon after the acct

freight the orders under which ID WAS
running, and which clearly showed the

that the freight had encroached upon
