.SEABOARD is GOING TO
JOIN THE OTHER LINES
In Issuing Mileage Books
at Uniform Price.

The Seaboard Air Line, which was
put in the 1-2 cent class when pas
senger rate reductions were first
ordered, has notified the commission
that it will put on sale mileage books
similar to those agreed to by the Sou
thern Railway, which as already stat
ed, include 2,000 mile books for busi-
ness firms at 2 cents and family
books of 500 miles at IA. There
is every indication that the situation
is working around to what was fore
told some months ago, namely, the
establishment of a fiat rate of 2 1-2
cents per mile on all the standard
lines in the state, and the issuance
by all these lines of the mileage books
mentioned, which the Southern and
other lines will put on sale about
April /.

king was general until the rain
began to fall. The queerest devel-
opment of the predicament which
the city found itself was noticed
up on the hill along Herman av.
II was impossible to get water
there all day. As soon as the rain
began to fall heavily sprinkling
downtown stopped. That permitted
sufficient pressure to force water
up on the hill. And while the rain
was coming down in bucketsful a
number of automatics were started
briskly along Herman and several
residents sat sheltered on porches
playing their hose on their drench-
ed yards.
A resident at the northwest
corner of Nora and jefferson had
his automatic going as early as
possible this morning, notwith-
standing the TACT that the grass
and trees We're saturated sufficient

He didn't know whether there
was any water for the rest Of the
city or not, but was determined to
have what he could get OF what
there was, even ii 1t was not
needed.

CITY TO REDUCE
CREMATORY RATE

A general reduction in rates is
contemplated by the crematory de-
partment. For the first four
months of its existence it went be-
hind about $4,000, but the last two
months has made up more than
one third of the amount. AS soon
as the department is clear a reduc-
ton so that it will pay expenses
only will be made. The object OF
the department is not to make
money, but to handle the city
refuse with as little charge to
property owners as possible. The
charges now are the same as in
effect by the private scavengers
before the organization of the de.
partment.

Lloyd's operated a book on the

laid at odds OF to / against
Bryan.
The betting Is done under the
guise of insurance. M. A. Newell,
local agent of Lloyd's, opened a

instructions from London. He
charges a regular brokers' COM
mission of 70 cents on wagers in
volving 500, including both sides,

Newell says British business

Der are scarce. They come slow

The situation is of double con.
Germ to the tried and true this
year, for they realize that Bryan
Is to make the fight of his life,
both for himself and the party.
They recognize the need of help
ing him with their best men on the
ticket in every state. The present
prospect of leaving gaps in the
Washington state ticket has been
a cause Of apprehension to the CEN
trail committee and a call for can.
didates has been issued. 1t is up
to every county and city organiza-
ton to bring out their men. How
to do it and who to do will be the
main Issue tonight.

the announcement of N. S. Pratt
