GAR FAMINE EARLY
----..-
Shortage is Felt Early an
Movement of Coal Has Just
Commenced
FOR PROPOSED RELIEF
Rock Island Adopts Rule Fixing Pen
alties for Divertins Cars After
Shipment are Made-Livestock and
Perishabe Freight Are Excepted
General News
Special to rimes-Repuplican.

OttumWa, Oct. 22.-Just now the
Rock Island system, with other roads,
entering here, is facing one of the
worst car famines it has ever known.
Coal and fiat cars more especially are
at premium, it being almost impos-
sible TO secure them for even the most
pressing business. There is no unus-
ual movement Of coal for the winter as
yet but at the same time practically
the same situation confronts every
railroad in the country. In view Of
this situation the Rock Island has just
sent out tariff in which the an
nouncement is made that effective No
vember l charge of SIS per car will
be made for diverting freight from it's
destination. If the destination Is
changed before the arrival of the car
or tWenty-fou hours thereafter So will
be charged. After twenty-four hours
and within forty-eight hours So will be
charged, but after forty eight hours
and within seyenty-tWo a charge OF
81 will be made. If the destination is
changed after seventy-two hours no
charge will be made. This step is ex-
pected to make it q more profitable
policy for the shippers either to have
the freight routed thru at the start
or to unload it from the car If it once
arrives, thus liberating the car tor
further use. Grain, live stock, and
perishable freight are excepted in the
new rule.
This rule is expected to afford relief
especially in the line of cars used for
hauling coal. Coal men, it is said,
often prefer to pay a demurrage
charge than unload the coal thus pre-
venting it's diversion to another des-
tination One instance is cited of last
winter, where a shipper was charged
$25 as demurrage on one car, showing
that the car was lying idle in the
yard with the load of coal for twenty
five days, the charge being 81 day.
1t is to overcome these difficulties
that the special charge for diverting
cars to another destination will be
charged. In diverting cars the thru
tariff from the initial shipping point
to the final destination is used
1t is expected that the shortage will
be greater later on in the season than
it is at present. altho opinions of rail-
road men vary considerably in this re-
spect. Some believe that the greatest
shortage of cars ever experienced will
be felt, while others think that the
will be very slight.

Mrs. Cook admitted that she told

nothing about the abortion that was
performed on Miss Blydenburgh.
Mrs Cook was then recalled by the
state and detailed the various events
leading up to the girls death. On
cross examination she again testified
that Dickinson told her he objected to

FREEDoN FROM MIsALLIANcE CoAxs
HIaH.-Madame Anna Gould proba-
bly, realized the meaning of the ex-
preston that lawyer and client some
times change their relative positions
when the suit ends, the former be-
coming plaintiff and the latter de-
PENDANT. This happened when the
bill Of a Paris lawyer, Edmond Kelly,
formerly Of New York, came to hand.
It was $176, 900 for professional SER
vices and expenses OF securing q
divorce from Count Boni de Castel-
lane. George J. Gould, her brother,
declares il is exorbitant and is max
ing an attempt to have it shaved
down somewhat. It will seem to
most people as very fair price for a
wealthy family to get rid of such a
prodigal rapscallion.

State which shall have been created
or the emoluments of which shall
have been increased during the term

withstanding the redundancy of

good constitutional lawyers, are said
to hold that it applies to all legisla-

ernor the salary of which was raised
from 81, 900 to 81, 200.

Objects That Are Cherished.

This week we received q check
from Charles A. Hunt, who lived in
this city about fifteen years ago and
has for that length of time been a
resident of New Hampshire, in renew
al of his subscription for all that
time, to the STANDARD, in which, he
says out of fifteen papers taken by
his family is the most thoroughly
read, not only for its local news but
general information. He declares
that he may return sometime as he
does not like the annual return OF
two feet or more of snow.
Ole Scar, of Iowa, another old-time
resident of Olympia, who has re-
mitted annually for this paper during
a like period, is now proprietor of
the town where he lives, the Presi-
dent of several banks and the owner
of one of the largest vegetable (prin-
cipally corn) canneries in the United
States. He has probably accumu-
lated a couple of million dollars, since
going East, but still has many kind
words to say of the STANDARD.
A lady who has returned from a
prolonged tour in the States to the
southwark of us, declares that she
was pleased beyond measure to find
an occasional copy of this paper while
on her travels. It seemed to her
like an old friend, and she is en-
rolled probably as a life subscriber.
This puts us in mind of a party of
Portland tourists who visited Egypt
while on a trip around the world,
and sent one of their number in from
camp among the pyramids, for sup
plies. In the stores gathered were o
few cans of Columbia river salmon,
the bare sight, of which caused
great wave of pleasure to surge in
their hearts. Nothing could have
pleased them better, both as a re-
viver of home associations and the
delectable flavor to their palates.

The Table Remains Set.

Gov. Mead, last Saturday, vetoed
the bill that would have placed clans
in the corner of a high shelf and re-
moved the old settlers boast that
there was no prospect of a famine
while the tides continued to ebb and
flow. 1t is an act which greatly re-
bounds to his credit, and in the name
of the pioneers, and such chez chaukos
as are not actuated by sordid mo-
tives, we extend him thanks. The
Governor is somewhat facetious in
giving his cause for disapproval. He
says:
CLAIMS are fish. Fish are fer9 nature,
therefore wild animals That avaricious
man, King John, deprived his subjects
of their old-time right to hunt and pursue
these game animals by granting "for a
consideration" the exclusive right of
fishery in tidal waters to private individ-
uals. The sporting blood of the Saxon
barons revoited against this usurpation,
