FREIGHT RATE CASE.
Interesting Constitutional Question
Involved in Appeal

An interesting constitutional question
is raised in a freight rate case appeal
ed to the Kansas supreme court from
Franklin county. w. w. Relf shipped a
carload of freight from FL Reno, Ok,
to Harris, Kan. The shipment went over
the Rock Island to Wichita, and then
over the Missouri Pacific to Harris. The
agent al FL Reno entered into contract
with Ref to transport the freight to
Harris for 33 cents per 100. 1t turned
out afterward that the rate should have
been SO cents to Wichita and 20 cents
more to Harris total of So cents and
the agent to Harris required Relf to pay
the $29 additional before delivering the
goods. Relf then sued the company for
the $29.
In it's answer the Missouri Pacific rail-
way said that eff any such contracts or
agreements were made, they We're in
violation of what is known as the inter-
state commerce act, and that said ship
ment referred to in plaintiffs petition
has reference to an interstate shipment,
which comes under the exclusive con-
troll and operation of said interstate
commerce act. and said contracts or
agreements, If any were made either by
the said the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific railway company, or the defendant
company, were therefore void and this
court is without jurisdiction to try and
determine this cause" The company
under the interstate commerce laws, the
plaintiff Relf had, as a matter of fact,
not paid the company enough, and still
owed 1896

case was tried when in the district

gether with the costs. The case comes
to the supreme court on the conStitu-
tionaI question involved.

WATER CASE is APPEALED.
Farmers in Trouble Because One
Damned Draw.

The suit of Comfort H. Larimore
against John c. Miller, from Clay
county, was appealed to the Kansas
supreme court today.
In this case the plaintiff claimed
that Miller has damned ravine
which passed across her farm and the
defendants farm in such a way that
in 1905 the water backed uD from the
dam and flooded her corn fields. She
claimed that the ravine was a natural
water course, and that in damming it.
Miller had violated the law. and had
dama9ed her to the extent of $500.
She asked for damages to that amount.
and also for an order requiring the
dam to be removed
The lower court knocked out the
case on a demurrer. It is appealed by
the plaintiff in the court below. Cole
man & Williams and F. P. Hardness
are attorneys for the plaintiff, and r.
c. Miller and S. H. Hamilton are at
torneys for the defense.

The troubles of the. early settlers did
not cease until 1914. when the immi
grants made up their minds to leave
jamestown and distribute themselves
among the fishermen in Newfound-
land. With this intention they en-
barked, but just as they drew near the
mouth of the James river Lord Della
ware appeared with immigrants and
supplies. Herschel left the sign in
1914.
The next transit began in the spring
of 1891, and in 1892 came the Salem
witchcraft horrors, also for seven
years Indian wars ragged, which quiet
ed in 1878. The next transit brought
the country to 1852. with the War
of the Revolution. Hale's history of
the United States says: early in the
made to the American government,
and both nations desisted from hostile
measures.
From 1859 to 1865, the next transit, the
time was used in the events leading up
to the civil war itself. When Herschel
entered the next sign, Cancer, on June
25 1865, the war came to an end.
The transit of the planet Neptune in
Gemini occurs only once in 165 years
Neptune entered Gemini in 1920 and left
it in 1874. Events of that period were
the suffering of the colonies because of
England's war with Spain, especially
the Carolinas; also the Indians of Flor
Ida We're melted by the Spaniards
South Carolina was in open rebellion
John Laws Ranking and Mississippi
scheme in 1920 brought distress to all
parts of France. 1t was like the South
Sea bubble of England. France
seems to be especially affected by Nep-
tunes transits in Gemini The second
one from 1888 to 1902 marked the Pana-
ma scandal also.
The perhelion of Jupiter induces cpl
denies of disease when it occurs. 1t
may be said that if two planets so far
away as Herschel and Neptune affect
each other as to their movements in
their orbits, 1t is reasonable to con-
clude that planets near the earth have
an effect. The sun and moon have in
f1uence, as we know, upon the tides,
and one reason for the ineffective read
ing given by the ordinary astrologer is
that it takes lifetime or two to grasp
all the meanings of the planets actions.
Herschel brings affairs of a changeable
singular nature, public, abrupt and
strange, in short, the unexpected. Jup-
tier is the strongest benefic. and the
sun, Mercury and Venus lesser beneflcs.
Saturn is the great infortune Mars next
in power and Neptune repeats the in
auence of other planets in an odd way.

GROWING CHILDREN
The Period When the Nervous Activity

muscles, and the special senses are
all under a special course of training.
The nervous system is pushed to its
utmost capacity, and long is the list of
victims that follow its over-stimula-

but harm can come from the use of
such articles as tea or coffee.

as physicians be aggressive in its pro-

use, but let us teach the families with

practice is evil. We speak emphatical-

have agreed to remain another week.
The participation by the audience Sun

Mr.. Shannon's evening theme was
The Man Who Died at the Hallway
Place"
The most difficult class to reach is
the children of backs .idden or negli-
gent parents. If the father and moth,
er have ceased to worship God their
children will not worship. Terah
stood in the way of his family fourteen
years and they made no progress until
he was dead and out Of the way and
the first trouble they had after his
death was over the wealth accumulat-
ed at Haran. Many ether parents are
neglectlng the spiritual culture Of
their children in order to accumulate
riches for them which III many cases
proves curse rather than a blessing.
Providing for ones own household
means more than houses and lands.
One must provide for their eternal in
terests. The best legacy for our child
rem is the legacy of holy life.

Kendall is a millionaire who to cele-

wealth, after temporary loss of both,
invites a dozen inhabitants of little
village to accompany him to Atlantic
