BUSINESS is HEAVY.
Two-Cent Fare Responsible for 1t in
Missouri.

st. Louis, July 26.-Since June 10,
when the two-cent-per-mile passenger
rate law became operative in Missouri
for a period to expire on September
80, the passenger business at Union
station has kept persistently up al
most to the high aggregate of 1904,
the worlds fair year. Several lines
report that their traffic at Union sta
ton is not as large as last years but
the business of most of them is enor-
nous, and the traffic of all the roads
entering st. Louis is practically the
same as that of the record year, 1904
Owing to the fact that the railroads
are protecting their statistics, it is i'm
possible to give comparative figures.
But the assertion that the passenger
business at Union station is almost as
large as in June and July of the
worlds fair year is taken to be conclu-
sive, as it emanates from a reliable
source

FL Dorado, July 26.-The Republican
says:
Two miles west of town A ]. Holder
man has two of the finest fish ponds in
Kansas, that are fed by a spring which
runs a constant stream of water of
from six to ten inches. The ponds are
stocked with bass, crappy, carp and
catfish For several days Mr.. Holder
man has been reducing the water in the
lower pond for the purpose of catching
the bass and crappy and putting them
in the upper pond. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Holderman invited a number of people to
go out and help and look on. When they
arrived on the scene of action there
were 90 men, 8 boys, 5 women, and
girls, three or four seines. A long net
was stretched about two-thirds of the
way across the pond, to confine the fish
in the upper one-third of the pond If
possible and several of the men with a
thirty foot seine went to work. The first
haul brought in fifteen or twenty carp,
three or four hundred catfish, ranging in
size from four to ten inches long, and
a few bass and crappy. Three hauls
We're made and So carp, ranging in size
from three to ten pounds, over a thou
sand catfish and a few bass and crappy
were taken out. 1t was found after the
first haul that the bass and crappy had
gone around the net set out in the pond,
had gotten out into the large body of
water, defeating the object of the oc-
casion. and everybody being tired the
seining was stopped. Not one-fourth of
the fish were taken from the pond.
Everybody who was present took
home two or three dozen catfish and
from one to five carp and several tubs
full of catfish were thrown into the
branch below the ponds that are fed
by the spring. Fish were also taken to
a number of families and the town was
fed on fish

There are several reasons why these suits are worth more to you than they are to us, we must have an immense new stock every season and we need the money to pay for 1t. You can always find a place for a new suit in your outfit and at this season of the year a suit of this kind comes in very handy for you can use 1t for an out ing suit without the vest, or for business with a vest ; there are a great many men who work indoors and wear a light weight suit the season around; these suits are all light or medium weight, you can afford to do as SO many have done, buy two, one blue and one light color. If you do not need a suit of this kind for present wear, 1t would be good judgment on your part to buy one and put it away until next spring for these values are better than we ever gave before in the sales that we have had.

Watching the New Law

The new State law of Minnesota re-
ducing freight rates became operative
yesterday. The effect of the law upon
the railroad earnings of the state win
be watched with great interest. There
IS a movement on foot for the stock
holders of all the railroads operating
in Minnesota to seek an injunction to
prevent the State from enforcing the
new schedules. and the suit Will UNI
doubtedly be fought out to the highest
courts on constitutional grounds. The
railroads are very much more harassed
by the State laws than by the Federal
prosecutions. and they fear the action
of State Railroad Commissions more
than they do that OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Besides the dis
position TO reduce rates by the State
Legislatures. there Is a movement in
the West to increase the taxes of the
railroads and to collect large sums, the
payment Of which these corporations.
have undoubtedly been evading In tho

siderable Increase in railroad earn

which are being placed upon them
