FIX FREIGHT RATE
There Will be no Change in the
Transit Rate Across the
Continent
STEP IS MADE NECESSARY

Under the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, written by
Commissioner Lane, upon the matter
of through routes and through
rates., made a few days ago, those
who ship goods across the continent
may be sure that the rates in effect on
all lines at the time the goods are
shipped will be the rates collected at
the other end, no matter how long the
goods are in transit and no matter
how many local lines may in that In
terval change their rates.
Likewise the railroads are by this
decision made sure they can collect
for freight at it's destination at the
rates in effect all along the line at the
time of the original shipment, even
though some of the roads over which
the freight passes lower their rates in
the meantime.
That there should have been any
question upon this point arose from
the fact that certain connecting short
lines Of railroad nave been disposed
to deny that they have been part of
a through route, asserting they are
independent or local" roads, and in
some cases that they are not inter-
state roads at all, but only intrastate
Eroads, and so not subject to the regu-
| lations of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
They have been disposed to claim
the right to change their rates at any
time, observing only the law as to the
giving of notice, and to collect these
rates upon all goods they transport,
although some of the commodities
might have been billed at some far
away original shipping point at diff
ferent rate. But under the new inter
probation of the law any road, how
ever short, which in any manner en-
ters into division of the freight bill
collected at either end of the line is a
part of through route" and the
rate in effect on that short line at the
time the goods are shipped is only
that roads part of through" rate.

terry of Zion City Killing Thursday

Early Thursday morning a North
western train ran over and instantly
killed an unknown man near the Zion
City brick yards.
The remains were found between
the two tracks of the Northwestern

freight train who, peering out of his
cab, saw the body and slowed down to
find out what it was.
All efforts thus far to find out the
name and address of the victim have
failed, but Abe Diamond, Waukegan

at Zion City Thursday morning, de-
clared that he had seen similar look

JEWEL FOR FRANsWAY
Interesting Little Ceremony Takes
Place at K. of p. Hall Wednesday

Interesting Little Ceremony Takes
Place at K. of p. Hall Wednesday
There was an interesting little cere-
mony at the Castle Hall on Wednes-
day evening when Albert Fransway,
one of the best known members of
the Kenosha lodge and an officer of
the lodge for many years, was pre-
sented with splendid jewel. The
jewel was the gift of the members of
the lodge as recognition of the
splendid work that Mr.. Fransway had
done in advancing the interests of the
order in Kenosha. The presentation
speech was made by w. ]. Craney,
who spoke of the long service render
ed by Mr.. Fransway as keeper of re-
cords and seals and as head of the
department OF finance and he assured
the retiring member that his work had
been appreciated. Mr.. Fransway was
taken completely by surprise, but he
managed to say few words of thanks
for the jewel. Before the present
alton supper was served at which
many of the members of the order
were present. Conrad Shearer acted
as POSTMASTER and speeches were
made by many of the prominent mem
bers of the order. Mr.. Fransway will
leave IN July for Grass Valley, CAL,
and he has resigned his Offices in the
knights of Pythias on account of his
change of residence

IN response to the notice published
by the health officer most of the re-
tail milk dealers have already taken
out their licenses and the city now
has better list Of the dealers than
ever before. Some of the smaller
dealers parted with their dollar re-
luctantly and under protest but what
is fair for one is fair for all and the
Health Department now has some
thing to go by if it ever becomes
necessary to make a thorough investi.
cation of the milk supply Of the city.

We are cheerfully informed by the

BEFORE the summer is over there
may come time when the authorities
will wish they had enforced the dog
license law and rid the city of some
homeless ours that roam the streets
instead Of permitting the ordinance
to become dead letter. AS for the
ordinance not paying the expenses of
its enforcement the city came out
nearly even when the ordinance was
first passed and what little extra it
cost was money well spent in abating
a nuisance.

Commander-In- Chief R. B. Brown
Accepts Invitation to Annual
Gathering In Kenosha
GEN. MACARTHUR TO SPEAK
Past Commapder-In-Ch James Tan
ner Also To Take Part At Annual
Reunion of Wisconsin Soldiers.
Big Crowd Coming

z. G Simmons this morning re-
ceived letter stating that Command
er-in-Chief r. B. Brown, of Zanes-
vile, Ohio, has accepted the invit-
atior to attend the annual reunion of
the Kenosha and Wisconsin Grand
Army men to be held In nenosha on
the night of Jure %. Commander
Brown is the hero of the Grand Army
and he is one of the most popular
veterans of the Civil War ever raised
to the exalted position. He was one
of the boys who fought in the ranks
during the Civil War and for this
reason he was the great popular
candidate of the veterans for the high
Office. Grand Commander Brown will
undoubtedly be one of the speakers at
the reunion. He is powerful speak
er and his stories of army life are
famous. Commander Brown will
come west for the express purpose of
attending the reunion given by Mr..
Simmons. He was in Wisconsin two
weeks ago to attend the annual de-
partment encampment and at that
time it was thought that it would be
impossible for him to return for the
Simmons dinner, but he has since re-
arranged his plans so as to give sew
eral days to Kenosha and its Grand
Old Man. Commander Brown will be
the guest of Mr., Simmons during
his stay in Kenosha. Lieutenant
General Arthur Macarthur, of Mil
waukee, has also accepted the invit-
alton of Mr.. Simmons and he will also
be one of the speakers at the reunion.
Corporal James Tanner, who was
the guest of honor at the reunion last
year, when he was the Grand Com
mander of the G. A. r., will come all
the way from Washington to spend
one evening with the Wisconsin boys
and Mr.. Simmons, and he will be
ready to give out some of his inimit-
able stories for the boys. Bishop
Samuel Failows is the only one of the
old guard invited TO be present who
has failed to accept the invitation.
Bishop Fallows, in his letter to Mr..
Simmons, states that it will be impos-
sible for him to be in Kenosha at that
time. General Charles King, of Mil
waukee, has been invited to attend
the reunion and it is expected that he
will accept the invitation.
Mr.. Simmons stated this morning
that at the dinner, which will be
served on the ground floor of the new
factory building, covers will be laid
for $50 guests, and ne guests will in
clude the mem bers of Fred S. Lowell
Post of Kenosha and all survivors of
the Civil war in Kenosha county,
Mem bers of Wolcott Post of Milwau.
kee, mem bers Of the Governor Harvey
Post of Racine, and the mem bers of
the Waukegan Post and survivors of
the war IN Lake county. The big
room IN which the banquet is to be
served will be elaborate1y decorated
for the occasion with flags and ban
ners and it will be illuminated with a
great lot Of electric lamps. The an
nual reunion will be held at Mr.. Sim
mons home on Prairie avenue, and if
the weather permits the speaking will
all take place there.
It is certain that the reunion this
year will be the largest function of
the kind ever given by Mr.. Simmons.

THE coroner is doing nothing more
than his plain duty in holding an in
quest over the body of every person
who dies without the services of a
physician and the question of expense
to the county should not be taken into
consideration at all. In every case
where there is the slightest doubt in
the mind of the coroner of the cause
of death post norton examination
should be made also. We have been
altogether too lax in these matters in
this county the last few years.

THE failure of the present anti.
cigarette law is due not to the law it.
self but to the manner in which it is
enforced or rather not enforced
and the enemies of the little paper
pipes will gain nothing by the more
stringent law which II is expected the
present Legislature will pass. If
public sentiment demanded its en-
forcement, the present law is plenty
strong enough and without strong de-
mand for it's enforcement behind ii
the new law will be no better than
the old one.

TRUE TO HIS FAITH
Russell Bedford Cameron Dies
Without the Services Of a
Physician on Wednesday
DR.. ANDRE HOLDS INQUEST
Man Had Been Follower of Dowie
And He Steadfast1y Refused to
Call a Physician. Died
From Tuberculosis

Russell Bedford Cameron, a faith
full follower of the teachings of the
late John Alexander Dowie, died true
to his faith at his home on Mazda
street just after S O'Clock Wednesday
evening, and in pursuance with the
new regime Coroner Andre took
charge of the remains and directed
that an inquest be held over them to
/ discover the cause of Cameron s
death. The remains were removed to
the Miller & Cosgrove morgue, where
the inquest was held this morning.
Cameron had been suffering from
chronic rheumatism for the past ten
years, and for the past three years,
| following his belief in the Dowie
! treatment, he had declined to cali III a
| physician. At the time the man died
his wife and nurse, a Mrs. Morris,
of Zion City, we're praying at the bed
side. Mrs. Cameron is also very
| sick woman, but, like her husband,
she is true to her faith and she de-
clined Wednesday night TO ask for
the services Of physician.
| Cameron had seen much of the
world. He was born in Ireland in
1856, and later went to the Island of
Java, where he was the manager of a
coffee plantation. There he was mar
ried, and after the marriage Mrs.
Cameron states that she and her hus-
band went to England, where they
spent seven years seeking treatment
from English physicians. Three
years ago they came to this country
and at once went to Zion City. Cam
eron was widely known at Zion as one
of the most vigorous supporters of the
teachings of Dowie.
A short time ago the family re-
moved to this city. Mrs. Morris, the
nurse, had been with her patient only
short time before his death came.
l.Dr. Andre held post norton over
the remains Wednesday night, and
found that in his opinion the man died
from tuberculosis.
Mrs. Cameron did not like the idea
of the remains being taken from the
home, but DR.. Andre informed her
that while he did not desire to
antagonize the faith healers and fol-
lowers of Dowie he would insist that
post mortem and inq uest be held
over the remains of every adult person
! who died in Kenosha without the SER
vices of physician.
The remains will be taken back to
the stricken home as soon as the IN
quest is over and the funeral will be
held from the residence on Nadia
street on Friday afternoon. The de-
ceased is survived by the widow and
one son a boy eighteen years Of age.
1t is probable that the remains will be
taken to Zion City for interuent.
AT the inquest over the remains
held by Coroner Andre at the NOR
que this morning there was little
evidence save that submitted by the
doctors who held the post mortem ex-
animation and this showed that the
man died from tuber culosis. The Jury
returned verdict in keeping with
the evidence of the doctors aud the
coroner signed the death certificate.

SUE TOWN OF WHEATLAND
Milwaukee Attorneys Want Fees for
Services in Wheatland Road Fight

An action has been started in the
Circuit Court in which A. c. Reit-
brock, Of Milwaukee, is the plaintiff
and the town of Wheatland the de-
fendarlt. The suit is an echo of the
famous McGary road case which was
tried in this county in 1900, and later
went to the Supreme Court. Reit-
brock claims that the law firm Of
which he was member, was retained
by the officials of the town of Wheat
land to look after the interests of the
town IN the suit, and that for thi~
service the company charged fee of
5000. On this bill it is claimed that
there is still 1857. 08 due.
The officials of the town have filed
no answer to the suit up to this time,
but it is expected that the suit will be
tried at the September term of the
Circuit Court.
