Exciting Experiences OF Famous Trav
eIer Soon To Come To Denison.

William Edgar Cell, traveller. ex-
plorer and author. is the one man in
the world who is making a study of
cannibal tribes through personal OBJ
servations of the savages, their homes
and their man-eat'ng proclivities.
Mr.. Cell has Just returned from
tour of the world, during which he
has travelled 1875. 900 miles for the pur-
pose of making comparative study
of the various savage tribes. and in
dependent investigation of missionary
work in all foreign lands.
Mr.. Cell claims the distinction of
having visited personally more savage
peoples. including the so-called pagan
race. than any other living man. He
has undertaken and successfully car
ried through various prodigious jour-
neys in widely separated regions. OBJ

hibiting the most widely divergent
characteristics. and living under the
greatest differences in environment.

the South Sea islands. He has also

men. His research has been that of a
scientific man, but as Christian he
has great desire to see all heathen-
dom brought under the influences of
the Christian churches, irrespective
of denominations. through the foreign
missionary departments.
Chalmers Head Rescued.
The journey to New Guinea was
undertaken soon after the killing and
eating of James Chalmers. the great
missionary worker. by the tribes of
the interior of that island. Mr.. Cell
found that Chalmers and an English
companion had furnished the principal
dish on the bill of fare at a native
banquet with eleven guests. The gov
ernor of the islands later secured the
arrest of some of the chiefs and Mr..

LIVE STOCK RATES REDUCED.

LIVE STOCK RATES REDUCED.
Without any flourish of trumpets or
fractional contention the Iowa railway
commissioners have inaugurated a
"reform" that is of greater import
ance to the farmers of the state than
either the anti pass or two cent fare
laws. The rates on all live stock ex-
cept hogs are lowered, by the COM
missioners' order, about eighteen per
cent. leaving them but five per cent
above the Illinois rates. whereas there
has been heretofore differential OF
twenty three per cent in favor of the
Illinois farmer. The rates on hogs
were not as low rate as Illinois.
The mere matter of the additional
profit this brings the feeder or ship
per of cattle, horses, bulls and sheep
is not all there is to it. Something
more follows. The difference in the
price of Iowa and Illinois land is
based on shipping rates as we'll as on
the greater age and development of
the state and greater density of
population.
Everything that adds to the profit
of the Iowa farmer adds to the mark
ct value of his land. Directly or in
directly this will benefit every citizen
of the state. Farming is and will re-
main Iowa's great industry. The rail-
way commissioners have therefore
touched upon a point vital to the
welfare of Iowa.
1t is refreshing to note that this
most important act of railway regu-
lation that has been secured in Iowa
for some years was secured so easily
and with so little contention. The
Iowa live stock rates had not been
changed except on hogs for seventeen
years; but no application had been
made for change unit, recently the
Corn Belt Meat Producers association
filed petition with the state railway
commission for a twenty-five per
cent reduction in rates. A hearing
was held this month. evidence was
taken on both sides and the comission
unanimously decided on an eighteen
per cent reduction. H. C. Wallace
announces in an interview that he
considers the new rate fair and
equitable to all parties. They will go
into effect without friction and every
one should applaud the common sense
and business like way in which the
whole affair was handled. Rockwell
