mission INTERVIEWED.

WASHINGTON, March SO.--In accordance
with their intention expressed some time
ago, the railroads constituting the western
trunk lines the Central Traffic association
and the Eastern Trunk lines, have filed
with the Interstate Commerce commission
tariffs increasing their rates on eastbound
grain and grain products. to become effec-
tive about April l. This action was taken,
II Is understood, because OF the enactment
by legislatures Of some Of the western
states of laws regarded as inimical to their
interests.
The particular law to which the rail-
roads took exception was the two-cent fare
act Of the legislature Of Nebraska. Soon
after the passage OF the act, officials Of the
railroads interested held a meeting in Chi
cago at which It was decided not only that
they should test the constitutionality OF the
measure but that It would be necessary for
them to increase their freight rates on east
bound grain
When the new tariffs were fled with the
commission 1t appeared that the conditions
warranted that body in making a sugges-
ton to the carriers that the time for the
increased rates becoming effective shoVld
be postponed temporarily. To this sugSes-
ton the carriers cheerfully acqulesced In
accordance with the agreement reached the
commission has issued an order granting
the carriers permission TO at once post and
file, effective April l, 1907, amendments
postponing the date OF the taking effect Of
the proposed advances In rates on grain
and grain products to May 1, leaving the
present rates in effect until that day and
on that date cancelling the present rates
and making the advanced rates effective
In making this order the commission does
not bar any complaints that may be made
to II Of the advanced rates by shippers.
Indeed, It is expected that complaints will
be received, and II they should be the COM
mission will consider them on their merits.

Neglected Colds In children and
Their Results.

Colds are the special banes of childhood
and often lay the foundation for the more
serious diseases OF after life.
One child catches cold and scares its
mother into Mysteries by having Group in
the dead OF the night:
Another child catches cold and before II
has fully recovered from II, takes another
cold, and perhaps before that is over con-
tracts a fresh one. This succession Of colds,
or even the neglect Of a common cold,
causes the Inflammation of the mucous
membrane, which was at FIRST acute, to be-
come chronic, and the doctor will tell you
that the child has chronic catarrh, from
which he will never fully recover.
Another child catches cold. Little atten-
ton Is paid TO It. as the child has often
had colds and always recovered from them.
but In this instance stubborn cough IL
developed. The parents are filled with
forebodings.
stin another child catches cold, and could
easily have been cured by proper treat
ment, but, being neglected, develops the
most fatal malady OF childhood, pneu-
monia. The doctor Is called and pronounces
II lung fever, and II the child is lucky
enough to live 1t has developed weak
lungs, making II susceptible to all lung
diseases.
Every one OF these children could have
been cured by the prompt use Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. A few doses OF
Il and the childs cold is gone. Il counter
acts any tendency Of a cold to result in
pneumonia, quickly -dispellinE all fear OF
that dangerous disease
It is also a certain cure for Group and has
never been known to fail. When given a.
prevent the attack.
A medicine of such great worth and
merit as Chamberiain's Cough Remedy
should be kept In every house where there
are young children. Don't walt until th'
child is sick and then send to the drul
store for II. but have IL on hand ready fol
instant use when needed.

LINcoLN's ASSASSINATION.
The Long Night of "BIacI< Friday"
in the War Telegraph Offices.

The Long Night of 'Black Friday"
in the War Telegraph Offices.
l remember the long night of Friday,
April IA, that black day, in our coun-
trys history when the hate and cruel
ty embodied in four years of bloody
civil war eliminated in one stroke Of
madness, aimed at the life of one who
himself had only charity for ALL"
with ''malice toward none" Although
l was on duty in the cipher room that
evening, l have no distinct remem-
brance Of anything that occurred prior
to the moment when some one rushed
into the office with blanched face, say
ing: There is a rumor below that
President Lincoln has been shot in
Ford's Theater." Before we could fully
take in the awful import, other rumors
reached us, horror following fast upon
horror; the savage attack upon Secre-
tary Seward, and the frustrated efforts
to reach and kill Vice President John
son, Secretary Stanton and other men,
bers of the government As the sue
cessive accounts crystalized, a fearful
dread filled our hearts, lest it should
be found that the entire cabinet had
been murdered. An hour of this awful
suspense, and then we received word
from Maj. Eckert, who had gone quick
ly to Secretary Stanton's house in X
street, and from there with the Secre-
tary to the house on 10th street, oppo-
site the theater, to which the President
had been carried after having been
shot by John Wilkes Booth. This mes
sage merely assured us Of the present
safety of Stanton, while confirming our
worst fears concerning the President.
A relay of mounted messengers was
at once established by Maj. Eckert, and
all night long they carried bulletins in
the handwriting of Secretary Stantor
addressed to Gen. Dix, New York City
which were at once given to the press
and sent over the wires throughout the
country. AS these bulletins were spell
ed out in the Morse telegraph charac
ters our hearts were stunned and ye
seemed to be on fire. The awfulness Of
the tragedy hushed us into silence. Al
the hours slowly passed, hope revived
fitfully as some sentence offered faint
encouragement that the precious life
might, perhaps, be spared to complete
it's chosen work; but at about Z 80 a
m., April 10, the tension gave away ant
we knew that our beloved President
was gone from us forever.

What's a Popular woman,

A woman can not be said to be truly
Attractive or popular unless she is loved
and admired by the members of her
own as well as the opposite sex. She
must be welcomed by all, old and
young, male and female, or she can not
be called an attractive woman without
reservation.
She must be herself, her best self,
at all times and with all people; she
must think and act for herself, and eX-
press her own opinions, rather than try
to copy some person she may admire, or
who is admired by the lords of crea-
ton.
Individuality, when combined with
polite manner and tact, is always at
tractive. A woman's happy, infectious
laugh is better than medicin' IT ad-
vice, and her CHEEKY presence is al
ways welcome as the sunshine.
A girl, to be truly popular, never says
mean things about other girls, think
ing that the men will like her better,
and she doesn't try to monopolize the
attentions of all the men at once, but
is willing to let other girls have their
share of admiration and attention along
with her. She doesn't nope and re-
treat within herself if there are no
men about to advise her, but she cheer
fully sets about making the best of mat
ters without them, and making such
companions as she has happier and
brighter for her presence.
If she has a grievance she keeps it to
herself, for a woman with a grievance
is very soon voted a bore. The weep
ing, fainting, sad-eyed young woman is
much out of style nowadays, not only
in novels, but in real life, and the hap
py, healthy, Independent, cheerful anG
sunny girl has totally eclipsed her il
popularity

A duck of a girl can make goose
out of any man.
A brother is a homemade mirror
that never fatters.
A kiss by any other name wouldn't
rhyme with-bliss.
The world is the shop where we get
our manners manicured.
Popularity is largely a matter of
getting the right press agent.
The girl who smokes cigarettes is
not the one who figures in a bache-
lor's pipe dreams-if he knows it..
The lamp Of learning can't light up
a cottage like the candle of content
ment.
The dollarless man is still a mil
lionaire If he hath not been robbed of
his dreams.
Experience is life's queer merchan-
disc that we buy with gray hair and
shattered illusions.
She that stints her heart to feed
her brain will sooner or later die of
soul starvation.
The jealous wife shouldn't try to
lay the ghost of her husbands first
love. No man remembers any woman

The Auto Habit.

Some deliver has found in he Bible
what he believes to be hint Of auto
mobiles. 1t Is contained In the story
of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshlte,
concerning the burden OF Nlneveh. In
the account given by this seer of the
military array of the Medes and Baby
lonlans against Nineveh occurs this
verse "The chariots shall rage in the
streets, they shall joste one against
the other In the broad way, they shall
seem like torches, they shall run like
the lightning" If that doesn't de-
scribe a street full Of motor cars what
does? Then again, a variant Of tho
word "jostle," which the original He
brew will, it is said, bear even better,
is pass swiftly, without particular
purpose, to and fro" Isn't that tho
automobile habit?

PRETTY EPISODE OF THE BORDER
Opera Singer En- Route to Mexico
Charms Officials with Her Voice.

Opera Singer En- Route to Mexico
Charms Officials with Her Voice.
Miss Matilde de Lerma, the singer
who is to be the star of the next grand
opera season at the Arbeu, has been
in Mexico for the past three days with
her mother, in strict incognito, accord
ing to the Mexican Herald.
She came from Madrid via New York
and stopped for only one day in the
American metropolis. She hurried to
Mexico over the National, thinking that
she was late, as her contract requested
her to start from Spain In the last
week of July. She was the victim of
thieves in her trip over the National.
She did not wire any one and she
found herself alone and helpless In a
foreign country, which she never had
visited before.
At Laredo, on the Mexican border,
her baggage was inspected and the Of
fcials wanted her to pay duty on her
Jewels and furs. She claimed that she
was an opera singer in this country for
only a few weeks and that the duty
was unjust. The official did not give
much credit to her claim, because opera
singers seldom travel alone. The mat
ter seemed difficult to solve, when Miss
de Lerma started to sing some high
notes, going up as far as A sharp, and
every one present in the station ap-
plauded her. The officials were con-
vinced in this way that Miss de Lerma
is great singer.
And indeed she is. Though still in
her 2O's, she is considered the great
est opera singer of Spain.
Last November she was asked by
King Alfonso of Spain to appear at the
royal palace for the purpose of being
introduced to Queen Victoria. Miss
de Lerma says that she was really
charmed by the grace and distinction
of the queen. She sang before her
and was presented with brooch Of
diamonds, which she considers one OF
her most valuable jewels

soldiers to frighten the enemy They
