SPLENDID SESSION OF
THE STORY HOUR.

An auditorium full of children. and
among them not a few mothers and
other grown-ups, were delighted yes
terday afternoon at the story hour
at the Carnegie library by Mrs. Tower
of Denver, a cousin of Mrs. William
Marquardt. Mrs. Tower is a most tai
ented young lady, and among her
many accomplishments possesses to a
marked degree the power of reciting
or reading just the right thing to
please children and in just the right
manner Certainly there has been no
more delightful story hour than thai
of yesterday at which Mrs. Tower was
the most prominent feature, and great
praise is also due to the mandolin club
of the high school, which, under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth DeForest,
gave several very enjoyable selections.
The mandolin club is becoming a most
important feature of school entertain
ments.

PLoWs ARE RUNNING
ON THE BIG RANCH.

8. H. Campbell, who spent yesterday
on the Diamond Cattle company's i'm.
tense farm at Rock River, returned
last night and brings wonderful tales
of the amount of work being done
there. The company has already brok-
en- about a thousand acres of land for
wheat, oats and barley, and the huge
steam pillow is still at work, with Vic
tor Beaumier of this city in charge of
the engine. The engine drags the
plows and the harrows and grain drills
following are drawn by horses. The
company has a large area already
sown, with more coming. 1t has an
unlimited supply of water in its large
main canal, and the prospects are
that the grain record of that section
will be greatly exceeded by this years
crops. Mr.. Campbell was taken all
over the vast farm by ]. f. Pierce, and
vas surprised and delighted at what
he witnessed.

imum weights on carload shipments
from and to points in Texas and Mex
leo. governed by the Texas-Mexico
classification exceptions, if the supple
ment is filed with the commission, CIV
ing n days notice to the public.
P%erplexing Questions.
On account Of the varying character
of the equipment used by the lines in
question, the minimum weights have
been the source of much perplexity to
railroads as well as shippers, and
much time has been devoted to the
question by both parties.
Advances Brought About.
After several conferences of the in
terested parties, the weights were ad-
justed to what was thought at the time
to be an equitable basis, this adjust
ment, however, resulting in material
advances.
Shippers Complained.
A majority of the shippers, who had
not been consulted relative to the adj
vance, complained seriously of the
charges. This resulted in r~eopening
the matter and the application to the
interstate commerce commission to
withdraw the advanced minimum
weights and restore the old basis until
the question has been thoroughly
threshed out and an equitable adjust
ment reached.
