MoNoN CASE SOON TO BE HEARD
VIII Determine Question Regarding
Advertising for Transportation.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Whether
newspaper and magazine publishers
may legally accept transportation over
the railroads in return for advertising
Drobablv will soon be decided by the
supreme court of the United States.
The Chicago Indianapolis & Louisville
Railway company, generally known as
the Monon route. has brought to that
court a case involving this question.
and II is probable that the court VIII
find in it a subject of such general i'm
portance as TO justify it in advancing
the hearing.
The suit originally was instituted by
the government in the United states
court for the northern district of 1lli-
nois That court held that such
transaction would in all probability
result in discrimination and therefore
decided against the company. In de-
Iivering the opinion of the court Judge
Kohlsaat said:
''It is essential to the spirit of the
statute (the Hepburn law) that the
value of transportation be fixed and
certain. In no other way can it be
held to be exa city the same to all. If
one person may purchase 1t with ad-
vertising and another with labor, and
another with produce, the value OF
which is a matter of agreement, be-
tween the parties, how can 1t be SAID
that the schedule rate is always mann
tanned? Would not the rate rest IN
the whim of the carrier? Such is not
the intent of the law"
If the case should be advanced 1t
will be possible to hear and decide II
before the final adjournment In May
of the present term of the court.

TODAY,s MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago. Dec. 30.-WHEAT-An official
forecast of a cold wave tonight for large
mart of the wheat growing section OF TINS
country, caused considerable apprehension
today among wheat traders, regarding
the fall sown crop, which, is unprotected
by snow in many regions. Sentiment IN
the pit however. was bearish during the
early part of the day. Several leading
commission houses were free sellers. which
held prices at a level a trifle below the
previous close. At the start prices We're

81 O75s to S1.075k After advancing to S1:0S0
IOS1s May dropped back again to $lgISs:
The market became strong toward the
middle of the day and continued firm the
remainder of the session. Good demand
for cash wheat in the northwest and
southwest was a bulfsh influence The
high point for May was reached at SlOS.s-
The market closed strong with May up
sc at S10Sss.
CORN-Reports that farmers are not
selling their corn freely at prevailing
prices had a strengthening effect on the
market for that grain. but trading early
in the day was not active Commission

rushed through the streets to the
surrounding open country.
The bishop of Syracuse exhorted
them to calm and courage. Two
violent earth shocks were felt on the
island of Cstica last night Ustica is
forty miles off the north coast of
Sicily. The inhabitants of the island
spent the night shivering in terror in
the fields.
Wandering Nude and Demented-
Monteleone. Dec. 3O.-A dispatch
received here from Triporni, says that
a few Reggie survivors are wander

ruins of the city, searching for food.
Practically all the pupils of the
Reggie college persisted The little
villas. located on the heights above
Reggie alone escaped destruction.
The chateau of Reggie is a heap of

TELEGRAPH, Directors Description of
MeSsina and Reggie.

Catanazaro, Calabria, Dee. 30
Such fragmentary news as has been
received from Reggie goes to confirm
the previous report taht the city has
been practically obliterated. A laconic
telegram from some telegraph oper-
ator in the zone of which Reggie was
the center says:
fsReggio has been almost entirely
DESTROYED The local director of tele-
graphs and the operators are dead.
Messina and Reggie look like Pom
peii.''
The project of Reggie, Signor Orso,
who was thought to have been killed,
has reached a coast point in safety
after "a hours of fearful experience
The M IN could hardly talk, but he said
Reggie has been almost entirely de-
vastated: that the dead ran into the
thousands and that the surrounding
villages have been destroyed.

the children walked three miles every
day for practice and they are to be
congratulated for their great exhibit
ton. The director of the singing. Miss
Eva Willard, deserves the highest
credit that can be given. She is in

schools and her incessant work with
the children was responsible for the ex-
hibition given by. them last night. 1t
was stated the songs were familiar"
This is far from true. Lead Kindly
Light" is one of the most difficult
songs in music to render and Miss
Willard was advised not to try it with
the inexperienced children. But she
had confidence in their ability and the
song was given with as much success
as the easier ones. 1t has been sug-
gested that the children be asked to re-
peat the performance at some time
during the convention. It is we'll worth
hearing.

A Cowley county paper contains
this advertisement Of a COW for sale:
Some months ago I purchased from
my friend, Hon. ]. M. Irons, a pedf-
greed COW. 1 want to sell her owing
to the rheumatism in my left leg,
caused by her kicking at a fence post
and striking me. When I first pur-
chased her she was very wild, but 1
have succeeded in tanning her SO
that I can peep through the corral
without her tearing the gate down. To
man who is a good Christion and
does not fear death, she would be a
valuable animal. But I want to sell
her to some one who will treat her
right She is one-fourth shorthorn,
two-fourths hyena ana the balance
just ordinary COW. She will be sold
cheap for cash.-C. M. Scott, two and
a half miles east of Arkansas City,
