Des Moines, Jan. 1.-The Telegraph
Herald published at Dubuque, with the
assistance Of rate expert in Dubuque,
has stirred up trouble for the state
railroad commission which Is likely to
react upon the express companies. The
Dubuque paper has proved that the
commission was deceived into believ-
ing that 1t had made reduction In ex-
press rates of 20 per cent when In fact
the reduction figures only 16Aa per cent
on the distances affected and much less
upon the average shipment made by
express. The railroad commission has
announced to the public that it made
a 20 per cent reduction and it is now
UP to the commission either to prove
that the Dubuque paper is wrong or
to revise it's schedules. A new hearing
is likely to be held with the Dubuque
people present.
The following tables and comment
appeared in the Telegraph Herald. The
first shows the true rates now existing,
the commissioners new rate and the
rate as given out to the Des Moines
papers by the EXPRESS companies:

He attempted to take his own life be-

Fetters lies at Mercy hospital in a
critical condition: the ball entered the
right breast just above the heart and
has not been found. His condition
would not permit probing for the ball
yesterday.
Fetters entered the college Septem-
Der I: as also did Miss Clark. He was
taking the telegraphy course. An old
case Of blood poisoning made him I'M
able to continue on his fathers farm,
and he decided to become a telegraph
operator. His disease made him morose
and he was accustomed to brood over
his misfortunes. Miss Clark is q pref
ty brunette, rosy checked and vivacious
the exact opposite to Fetters. They
became devoted sweethearts, spending
much Of their spare time together.
Christmas eve they took the same
Northwestern train home, spending
three hours at the depot before leav-
ing the city. Then Fetters pressed his
suit for the hand Of the brunette. She
refused. Monday night they both re-
turned and Immediately after his ar
rival Fetters saw Miss Clark and again
pressed his suit.
It was then she informed him there
was another.
