WEBSTER CITY, Sept There are
forty or fifty holders of stock in the

City onesaof these stockholders has
Just received a communication from a.
ia. Hackstaff, secretary, that Is not
very Welcome. The. officials of the
company have for years given pass
to all stockholders. who wished to att
tend the annual stockholders meeting
III Chicago and many people have been
indAced to buy stock in order to get
of this trip. Now, however,
the officers of the road claim that un-
Fer the law, they cannot extend this
courtesy and that therefore there will
be no passes issued to the meeting in
Chicago this year.
lThe stockholder in this city who
has received the notice in question Is
of the opinion that the officials are
straining a point; that they are dis
continuing the usual custom merely to
make the law odious; that they are
permitted to furnish free transports ton
whenever they see At and that they are
simply trying to interest the small
.stockholder to become an opponent OF
railroad legislation.

the loss caused by the storm was the
damage done by the excessive heat fol-
lowing the close of the state fair. Thou
sands Of animals, horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs suffered intense agony,
breathing in the sitting air laden with
its distressing humidity.
Numbers of prize winning hogs,
Grated and ready to be sent to the
Minnesota state fair, were piled on
the Northwestern station platform to
await the loading into the express cars.
In transporting the crates and their
contents to the station the expressmen
piled them on top of each other, thus
cutting off the air supply from the
ma ssive porkers. Before they were
discovered number of them had died
from suffocation

vet known but it is certain that it will
sun up into tens of thousands of dol

sheep. while owners of valuable horses

animals to see il the heat were affect

Most pitiful Of all was the death of

moisture laden air which reached her
was too much for horse flesh to stand
and after. showing sign of fatigue she
became unsteady on her legs and I'm
ally fell In a stupor. Unsuccessful eff.
forts were made to revive her but to
no purpose. The great Iowa state
fair was her last triumph.
