the Burtis on January 20, when she
will appear in "The Second Mrs. Tan

Mrs. Campbell. aside from being no
ted as one Of the worlds greatest
emotional actresses, has gained con-
siderable renown by reason of her &C.
centricities in certain directions. She
abhors noises of any sort, both during
her playing and sleeping hours. When
she learned the Rock Island road
trains passed in close proximity to
the Burtis, she made a most radical
request Of Mr.. kindt thru her man
ager Mr.. German. This was no less
than Mr.. Kindt have the trains Of the
Rock Island road stopped from passing
the opera house during the hours Of
her performance, as this was the main
line of the Rock Island and such action
would block the entire system. AS
compromise Mr.. Kindt agreed to take
the matter up with the officials OF the
Rock Island road with view to hav-

Special to Times-Republican.
Washington, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE eyes OF
every farmer in this vicinity, and prac-,
tically every livestock man In Iowa,
will be turned toward Des Moines next
week, when on Friday the case of the
Iowa Corn Belt and Meat Producers
association, complaining against fifteen
railroads in this state, will come up
for hearing before a representative OF
the interstate commerce commission
from Washington. d. c.
The hearing will be in the United
States court room, and the time or
hearing will be Friday, the 18th, at 10
O'Clock a. m. The difference In he
freight schedule on livestock the Iowa
farmer has to pay as compared with
the livestock men OF Illinois and Mis-
souri,. is SO much that in the discrim1-
nation the Iowa farmers lose over VI
600 900 every year. For example,
Warren Stewart, this countys repre-
sentative to the legislature. holds that
were he to pay the same rate on I'VE
stock from his shipping point at ke-
ota to Chicago as does the southern
Illinois farmer the same distance TO
The Chicago market, he would be saved
annually upwards of from Sl,500 10
$4,000.
Clifford Thome, Of this place, who
represented the Kansas Oil Producers
association before the interstate COM
merce commission two years ago. IS
bringing the complaint for the Iowa
farmers. whose association now num-
bers 5000 members His chief Wit
ness will be Henry Wallace, or Des
Moines. the associations secretary.
The fifteen roads involved have mace
general denials to all the complainant
allegations, practically, and are repre-
scented in their answers by their gen.
eral counsel and solicitors. located at
Chicago. St Paul, Omaha, st. Louis
and Kansas City.
The farmers say all they want Is JUS
tice. to be placed on the same footing
as the farmers of Illinois ana mis-
souri, In short, they ask the united
states to do what the states OF LIMOS
and Missouri have done for the past
twenty years, and the establishment OF
a schedule on livestock rates from
Iowa to Chicago similar to what llll-
nois has had for seventeen years, ana
similar to the schedule adopted by the
Iowa commission last spring, when a
reduction of 10 per cent was secured
The Iowa Farmers association holds
that If there is to be any concrete
value at all in the regulation OF the
federal government, it should at least
do as much as the states have done
concerning that part of the traffic over
which they have jurisdiction.

This means that Supt. E. r. Edison

The foremost machinery works in

A few of the most expert men re-

pay Of a shop foreman is but little

Sunday Golf in Scotland

In the highlands, as might be ex-
peeted, Sunday golf has always been
frowned upon--Auld Lichts Wee Frees,
Big Frees and other varieties of Scot
tish religionists being at one in de-
nouncing the '.desecration of the Saw
BATH
But in spite of this there were two
or three golf courses in the north on
which quiet game might be played
on Sunday. The golfer who made use
of the privilege had to act circumspect-
ly, taking care that his paraphernalia
We're not displayed so conspicuously as
to offend local susceptibilfties. Indeed,
he had to take his game almost sur
reptitiously. and ii is want of circum-
spection on the part of certain players
which has put an end to Sunday golf in
the highlands.
Not long ago there was a rising of
the crofters whose grazings form part
of the Brora course, with the result
that the club had to face the alterna-
tives of forbidding Sunday golf or hav-
ing the course curtailed to such an ex-
tent as to make it useless. Since the
fleet began to visit the Cromarty firth
many of the officers have been in the
habit of playing over the Nigg golf
clubs course, but the popularity of the
pastime among the officers doomed
their Sunday play. The club has issued
a notice that henceforth the course is
to be closed on Sunday. Which means
that now there will be no golfing on
Sunday north of the highland line
