CHICAGO, Nov. Judges Grosscup
Seman and Baker in the United States
circuit court has granted tempo
rary injunction restraining the inter-
state commerce commission from car
rying into effect its order in what is
known as the Missouri river rate
case
The ruling of the interstate COM

souri, river points on shipments orig
mating east of Pittsburg and Buffalo
than in those originating west of the
cities named was alleged by the rail-

The ruling, it was declared, if allowed
to stand, would fix a principle tant-
amount to government ownership of the
roads. The ruling was also declared
to discriminate against communities
west of Buffalo and Pitsburg. Counsef
for the commission took the view that
if Chicago or any other city considered
itself Disseminated against they had

submitted his report to Mayor Dawson.

he declares he was unable to check
because Of the manner in which they
had been kept
the park had been purchased from a
local firm of which w c. Andrews is
president. he being president also OF
the park commission. Andrews states
that a year or more ago he learned Tor
the first time that a provision of the
city charter forbids a city official pur-
chasing for the city from a firm In
which he is interested and says that
since that time nothing has been
bought by the commission from his
firm.
Forbes says that $50 belonging TO
the school fund. which was stolen from
Prof r. y. Hunts desk in the high
school. has never been made good. He
says that while over $4,000 was re-
ported from the sale of materials from

that men shall have no other name
than that to which they are lawfully
entitled, and where every citizens

history are carefully recorded, and his
goings and comfngs are officially kept
track of, some very curious incidents
take place.
On one occasion young man was ar

charge of stealing money belonging to
his employer. When it was sought to
make a record of his name it was. found
that he had no lawful name at all.
He had been inscribed" at Bordeaux
at the date of his birth. but his father
and mother were not known. and the
name of Lafonde, under which he had
been inscribed without authority he
had since been forbidden by a court of
Justice to bear, because 1t was not
rightfully his. After having been for
hidden the name of Lafonde he took
that of Bruyton, and was refused per-
mission to bear that.
Nevertheless he managed to exist In

NrCKEL-IN-sLoT CARS

Drop a nickel in the slot and get a
car ride" will be the order Of things
on at least some of the cars on the
Third avenue railroad system by the
first OF the year. The $50 pay-as-you-
enter cars which Receiver Frank Whit
ridge recently ordered from J. G. Brill
& Co. of Philadelphia are to be equipped
with a fare box.
The new cars will be similar in type
to the pay-as-you-enter cars now in
operation on the Fourth and Madison
avenue line, but they will be of lighter
build and Will be equipped with minor
improvements that the present cars
have not. IT is expected that 100 of the
new cars will be ready in November.
The rest of the order has been prom
ised by the first of the year. One hun
dred of the old style Third avenue cars

SUIT INVOLVING $500
HAS $1,000 COST BILL
At One Time Dispute Over $Iz
Prevented Settlement
of Case

In a Justice court suit between Sam
Aftergut and A. II. Clemmens over the
balance OF money due for 16 cows, in
volvinc the sum of $3.50 the expenses
have run up to more than $1,000. The
case was before Judge Graham Fri
Gay on appeal from the decision of
Justice Van Nostrand, and 1t transpired
that az one stage in the proceedings
the only question at issue between the
parties was matter Of $12. Had they
been able to agree who should pay
ihis paltry sum the subsequent litiga-
tion would have been avoided and the
81 0O0 cost bill would not have accrued.
THAT bill is principally represented by
the expenses Of feeding and caring
for the l6 COWS, upon which an at
tachment was placed by Aftergut. The
main point now to be decided by Jud-
Graham is, who shall pay the $1,000.

TO MAKE ORANGE MARMALADE.
Old Scotch Recipe Which Can Be Fol-
lowed by Any Housewife.

The Americans have adopted the
British plan of eating marmalade at
breakfast. 1t is put on dry or but
tered toast and taken with the coffee.
The following is an old Scotch recipe
which is used In British homes:
Seville oranges are the best for this
marmalade if one can get them. The
Juice is pressed out and the rinds put
into a preserving kettle with plenty of
water to cover them. This is cooked
until soft, adding more water as it
boils away. When very soft it is
turned into jelly bag and the Juice
squeezed out.
This is mixed with the uncooked
juice, and to every pint pound and a
half of sugar is allowed. 1t is cooked
20 minutes. The best way to test it is
to drop little on cold plate If it
curls up at the touch of finger it is
ready to take from the fire. 1t should
be put into glasses or small stone jars.
1t should stand uncovered for a night
and after this the jars may be COW

ATTRACTS ALL OTHER DOORS.
onion Can Be Used to Get Rid of Dis.
agreeable Smells.

Everyone knows that an onion has a
distinct and unpleasant odor, whether
cooked or raw. But everyone does not
know that this odor of an onion will
draw to it every other disagreeable
odor and clear the house atmosphere
in day.
The onion can then be thrown away,
and with it goes the disagreeable
smells that come about in house that
has been closed for the summer.
And this is also a good thing to
know: That it will absorb all the odor
from fresh paint and turpentine. If
the house has been freshly painted
and cleaned for the winters occu-
pancy, the people moving into it will
be miserable with the smells that
come from walls and floors.
After the fresh country these odors
will be uncomfortable.
One onion should be cut into small
pieces and placed about the room in
two or three saucers. Allow an onion
to each room and let the saucers re-
main there over day and night.
If every bit of odor hasn't gone in that
time put few fresh pieces in for the
next day.
