UNFORTUNATELY LOCATED.
Low Intrastate Rates Impossible In
State Of Missouri.


KANSAS CITY. Mo. Nov. 13.-Mis-
souri's geographical position near the
center of the United States and its
relation to the great trans-cortinental
railways make low intrastate rates in
Missouri impracticable, according to
the opinions OF railroad experts who
testified in the Missouri rate cases
today.
Columbus Hall. vice-president> and
traffic manager of the M. X. & T.
railroad, said that low freight and
passenger rates in Missouri would
disturb the fabric of rates in general
force in the United States.
The testimony of two other experts
was about the same.
Mr.. Hall testified that it was not
possible to lower the state rates in
Missouri without seriously affecting
the interstate business across the
continent.

GALL FUR JOHNSON
koolcAL STANDARD BEARER OF
 THE DEMOCRACY.
APPEALS TO THE VOTERS.
In His Name and with the Great Cause Victory Is Assured to the Party of the People
 Why Court Defeat7

Friends of Governor John A. John son of Minnesota have issued letter and pamphlet that together consti- tute an address to the Democrats of the country Both make strong ap. peal to Democrats everywhere to ex- ert themselves to see that the Denver convention shall be a deliberate body that will look the field over and choose a candidate who, while repre- senting modern Democracy, can win at the polls.
 The letter. which Is signed by Fred. ertck B. Lynch. treasurer of the Min nesota Democratic State Central Com mittee, who has opened offices in ths Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago. Is as fol lows:
 Dear Sir: You are Democrat. and ft is because you are Democrat that this is addressed to you, with the feel Ing that you will exert yourself to give the party one of the greatest essen tials to victory, a strong and accept able candidate for the presidency.
 The Democracy of the nation have for 12 years been losing ground and the belief is general that under the old conditions defeat Is certain. For months the party has been drifting toward an autoeratic convention. where popular choice is to be subor- dinate to personal will.
 Minnesota Democrats, feeling that party duty transcends individual in. terest, have had the courage to break away from the drift and offer the party a candidate who if nomi mated, can carry more states than any other living Democrat, and who would be practically certain of election. Re- boiling against the doctrine of despair, We take it for granted that there is no necessity for the ravens of defeat racy in 1908, simply because they did In 1896, 1900 and 1904.
 Conditions industrially, financially and politically are such that we have this year the opportunity of a genera tion to win the presidency
 If you and the other Democratic leaders of the country will but re- spond to the invitation and the oppor- tunity extended to you by the Demo crats of Minnesota, we can escape from the blighting tradition of defeat, and rehabilitate the party and the na- tion by great political victory next November.
 There is still ample time to see that enough delegates are elected to the Denver convention to make that a deliberative Democratic body that will give the party new hope and new inspi- ration and winning candidate To this end, We solicit your cooperation and will heartily welcome and con- sider any suggestions you may offer.

SHOES LAST THIRTY YEARS.
Not Nearly Worn Out, Says the Proud
 Owner.

Darby. Pa. - Shoemakers would starve if all shoes were like the pair that Robert Green of Main street has been wearing for 30 years, and which he had made from the skin of a calf that he killed
 Tt was the finest calf I had ever seen as a butcher, said Green; "on'y nine weeks old and yet it weighed 3S5 pounds. Harry F. Singles and were associated in the butcher business at the time, and when we bought the calf for SIP we determined to kill 1t and make two pairs of boots and two pairs of shoes each out of the hide, which was the finest we had ever seen. You couldn't kill calf 30 years ago in the morning and have the skin converted into shoes by nightfali, for there were no chemical processes then as now. The skin had to be oak tanned and it was 13 months before we got our skin from the tanner. It weighed 35 pounds green and only Il pounds tanned, but it was a beauty.
 We gave the skin to a boot-maker and We each got a pair of boots and Q pair of shoes out of his hide We were considered dandies with our calf skin boots and shoes in those days. and we often boasted of having killed the original owner of the skin from which we made our footwear.
 T wore out the boots, but l have been wearing the shoes now for 30 years-not constantly, but giving them good service. and there is many years service in them yet. The shoes cost me four dollars to have made"

Always Strikes One Before Death of
 Any of the Family.

Richmond, Ky-The old-fashioned F. Crook. aged 70 years. of Kingston.
 grandfather's" clock owned by Ben which has not run for a quarter of century, has mysteriously struck just before death invaded the family for the past 16 years. The story is told oy Hon. R. H. Crook, county attorney.
 MT. Crook says though the old CLOCK was but an ornament for the parlor, yet a few days prior to the death of his brother, William Crook, in 1891, the timepiece chimed out the hour of one. Three years later their mother passed away, and just before this sad event the old clock again struck one Ten years later, about 1904, the ancient timepiece chimed two, and within a week the little twins of Mir Crooks sister, Mrs. Collins Yates, died the same day
 Last week while Miss Margaret Crook was watching by the bedside of her stepmother, she was startled by the sound of the long-silent old clock as It pealed It's fateful note one. and within five days death had claimed another victim from the Crook house hold.
 There is no explanation. The clock has not been wound for years. No one Is superstitious in the Crook home It IS a mystery, that is all

ILLINOIS CARP SOLD AS FOOD.
Fishermen Market 2o,oooooo Pounds
 of the Article Some Years.

Bloomington. Ill-Fishermen of Hi nois annually realize S250000 to S500,- GOO from the sale of carp. more often the latter sum- according to the an nual report of the Illinois fish comms- sion, just issued The annual catch of this species of fish runs to 20,000.- eo0 pounds in some years. The long and formidable indictments against carp as being unfit for human food are quashed by the state fish commits sion
 The board takes upon itself the duty of replying to the charges. declaring to be false the reports that the carp injure the feeding grounds of wild fowl; that they injure other fish, and that they are not food fish The board admits that there are species of fish that are of superior quality and of finer eating, but to the many people who cannot obtain bass, salmon. trout. sshad, mackerel, etc, the carp are boon
 The consumption of carp in the eastern sea towSs, tons of Illinois carp going east every month, is surprising ly large. It has been declared that the "planked white" fish that appear so often on New York menu cards is nothing but carp, so delicately cooked by expert chefs as to make the decep- tion impossible to detect.
 Illinois is the great carp state of the : union, and great as is the commercial value of the fish. this is insignificant compared with it's importance as food for other fish. Young and adult bass feed upon carp and like it.
