EXCESSIVE RATE ALLEGED.
Decision Will Have Far-Reachinp
Effect

Mr.. Theron F. Miller of Michigan CITY.
Ind, has appealed to the Interstate COM
merce commission against what he declares
is an excessive rate Of fare between Michi-
gan City. Ind, and New Buffalo, Mich.
Mr.. Miller cites that he paid 80 cents to
travel this distance OF ten miles over the
Michigan Central Railroad Company where
as the legislatures of both Indiana and
Michigan have passed two-cent rate law
between the boundaries Of their respective
states. He claims that 3 cents "a mile is an
excessive rate and asks the commission to
enforce the rate of cents a mile on this
interstate business.
The effect of decision in favor of the
contention OF Mr. Miller would be to IN
force the local two-cent rate on many inter-
state routes within states mat have passed
a two-cent- annie rate law.

deprived Of the honor Of having a street
bearing the name. Smith street was named
for Peter Smith. who built one of the first

UNREST IN CUBA.
Rebels Exchange Shots With The
 

Rebels Exchange shots With The
 Officers.
 Havana, Cuba, Sept. 30-The smali band of rebels which have been tra- versing the country in the vicinity of Mayari in the northern section of San tiagc Province, has, according to late dispatches, again exchanged shots with the pursuing rurales. The latter are close on the heels of the bandits.
 While there are signs of unrest in various parts of the island, the opinion prevails here that na serious disturb ances are likely. In commenting on the situation The Diario de la Marina says:
 "A combination of unpleasant cireum- stances having no link one with the other, appears to make the situation at first sight more serious than 1t really is Each of the problems that at pres yellow fever epidemic. the existence of railway strike is of an alarming char acter. but except for the tendency of tho strike to become general and stop railway communication throughout the island these events are of no great fm- portance in themselves. There is no reason for extraordinary alarm or for believing Cuba is on the brink or an abyss.'
 Most people think that the railroad and other strikes offer more prospects of serious trouble than the threatened revolt
 Governor Masoon has decided to 1eal with the outlaws and insurrectionists with a strong hand. The orders of the rurales, it is stated. are to capture, kill or drive them into the ocean

 Colonel Jackson had watched the tree grow. and he grew to love 1t as mucn as he would a human being. Its luxu- riant foliage had often protected him from the sun and the rain, and from it's branches he had taken eggs from the nests of the feathered songsters.
