RATE INCREASE
It Is Believed That This Is to
 Soon Take Place.
THIS OR WAGE REDUCTION
Railroads Have Filed With the Inter- state Commerce Commission the New Schule For Transporting Fresh Meats and Desired Effective June 1.

Washington. May 4.-It appears likely the anticipated increase of rail- road freight rates is about to be made. A few days ago the members of the Interstate commerce commission ex- pressed the opinion that within three or four months, unless a decided i'm provement in railway conditions take place, it would probably be necessary for carriers to either increase freight rates or reduce the wages of their employees. Personally and officially the commissioners deprecated taking either horn of the dilemma by the railroads. but 1t is believed it will be inevitable for one or the other course to be taken.
 Sooner than expected action looking to an increase in freight rates has been taken. Railroads of the south eastern territory have filed with the in- terstate commerce commission tariffs, effective June 1. increasing freight rates on fresh meats materially. The proposed rates affect all fresh meats shipped into southeastern territory from the northeast The new rates, will affect Ohio river and Mississippi crossings. including Memphis. and be effective into all parts of what Is known as Carolina territory-that is. the section of country east of Ashe- vile. N. O.. and south of Danville, Va
 The increase will amount from cents to 10 cents per 100 pounds on all fresh meats. Ii will be the first material raise in rates on foodstuffs made by the railroads of the country for great many years. It means much to consumers. as 1t probably will result in an increase approximately of ] cent per pound on low grades of meat and perhaps as much as cents per pound on select cuts.
 The interstate commerce commits sion will probably inquire carefully to determine whether the rates pro- posed in any sense are excessive or feasible. Increase of rates on fresh meats into the southeastern territory is regarded as the entering wedge of general increase on all commodities and the result of the inquiry into the question raised is awaited with inter est

Although it has been rumored for more than a week that the Pulaski County Grand Jury, when it took a recess week ago Friday, had returned indict- ments against men who served as senator's in the General As. sembly of 1905, it was not until yesterday that the warrants were served and five men were arrested and placed under S3, GOO bonds each to appear for trial in the Pulaski Circuit Court. Sen ators Hardy, lobe, Floyd and Harrison were arrested on war rants charging them with per. jury, and Senator Hinkle on a warrant charging bribery. Sen ator Holland. it is currently re ported, will be arrested today on a charge of perjury
 When the Grand Jury took it's recess, 15 indictments were re turned to Judge Lea, and it has been rumored that among the ten bench warrants not yet served some are for men who are also charged with boodling. It is not believed these warrants are for members of the General Assembly of 1905.
 The indictments allege that Hardy and Harrison perjured themselves when they testified before thesGrand Jury that they o'd not receive morey during 1905 for their votes on legislation affecting the railroads and par ucularly the Iron Mountain; that Floyd periured himself when he sad to the Grand Jury that he dld not receive Sl,500 for his vote on the bill to prohibit gam

TRAIN DYNAMITED.
Fiendish Act Is Believed Done
 For Revenge.

Butte. Mont. May 4.-Eastbound Burlington train No. 6 was dynamited about mile west of the Northern Pa cific station. The explosion caused the first or helper engine to leave the rails, but it plowed along for a few hundred feet without turning over. The second engine crashed into the bank south of the track. a few car lengths from where the explosion oc- cured and turned over. Carl Mange, who was riding on the blind baggage, was taken from the mass of timbers under which he was buried An arm and leg were broken. Bremen George Ehle of the second engine was severe ly scalded. Both were hurried to the hospital
 The mail car was hurled on its side and wrecked. A cold storage fish car was smashed into kindling wood. Only the front trucks of the express car left the rails The baggage car was ttioO uSIdllcu, dnu Uuly tue HullfUdH cars remained on the track It is be- lleved to have been the work of a tramp seeking revenge for being eject ed from q train.
 Express Messenger J. B. Valentine was seriously cut by flying grenade, His escape from death in the car was considered remarkable
 A clear account of the explosion and wreck is given by Engineer w, Lensie Of the helper engine: We were about ten minutes behind time" said he. and we were running at the rate of about forty miles an hour. The line is perfectly straight and we had a clear track Suddenly there was ter rife explosion and my engine was lift ed clear off the track, but quickly settled on the ties, along which it'ran for about 300 feet I applied the air brakes, but not before the coupling was broken between my engine and

ANCIENT LOVE LETTER.
Written Thousands of Years Ago by
 AssYran to Sweetheart.

New York. May At seemed almost breach of confidence when Profess or Gabriel Oussami placed before the cold scrutiny of Brooklyn spectators a love letter written thousands of years ago by an Assyrian swain to his lady love. This man, who lived in the city of Ashur, who evidently provoked at the hard-hearted behavior of the young woman.
 Why was it. my beloved' he en- graved on q sheet of clay about an inch thick. that you did not meet me as you said you would? Why did you bring sorrow to my heart? But. light of my life, could it be that you were ill?"
 Assyrian youths wrote their letters fin wedge-like characters on soft clay and before dispatching them put them in kiln.

bling, and that lobe likewise perjured himself in denying that he received $500 from M. D. L.. Cook for his votes on the state capitol appropriation bills, and the Argenta bill.
 The indictment against Sena- tor Holland was not accessible to newspaper men last night, but it is known almost positively that he has been indicted for perjury. This was stated posi- lively on the streets of Little Rock yesterday, but not from any authoritative source.
 Under the present Arkansas statutes a man may go into the Grand Jury room and admit that he gave bribe to another man. The man who received the bribe may also admit it before the Grand Jury and may admit it in court at the trial of the man who gave the bribe. But if the man who gave the bribe refuses to testify, as he has a right to do, and if no other witnesses saw him give the bribe, he will be liberated, as the law expressly states that a briber may not be convicted on the uncorroborated testimony of an accompllce. Neither may the person who re ceived the bribe.
 It was learned last night that the cases will be set for trial for thig term of the Circuit Court. Three old poodle cases have already been set, one to begin on July 3. Whether the cases can all be Itried this term. is uncer- tain, but they will be set up to August 1

SUED FOR
DIVORCE
AND PARTITION OF
PROPERTY

w. d. Claggett's recent series OF
legal embroglios came to a climax
this morning when his third wife,
who was formerly Mrs. Elizabeth
Mcfarland Of Turner, filed suit for
divorce in the circuit court Thurs
day.
The complaint alleges that Clag-
get entered upon the present matrl-
monial venture at Turner on Sep
tember 22,19O2, and that since that
time he has treated his wife in a
manner justifying divorce. Mrs.
Claggett claims that her husband Is
of a sullen and morose disposition
and he is penurlous to such an ex.
text that he has refused to provide
decent clothing for his wife and
family and that he has offered Mrs
Claggett refuse meat for her food.
Moreover, the complaint alleges,
Claggett has used blasphemous lang
uage TO his wife whenever she has
mentioned to him the present state,
of affairs. According to Mrs. Clag-
gett, he not only refuses to buy food
and clothing for his family but he
will not even buy himself respectable
clothing. One time, the complaint
sets forth, when Bill was in sore
need OF a new shirt, Mrs. Claggett
bought one and presented II 10 him.
Whereupon Claggett went into a At
OF rage, telling his wife that It. was
none OF her damned business wheth-
er he wore a shirt or not, and calling
her names too vile to be set down |
In print.
For three weeks, the complaint |
states Mrs. Claggett has been on
The verge OF starvation. This, she
says, the defendant knew, and al
though he was possessed OF ample !
he refused to provide for
he plaintlff the common necessaries
of life. And all this time, the paper
further states, Bill was boarding
around at the various restaurants in
he city and at the houses OF his rel
ltlves. He also took his two daugh-
.ers TO the restaurants that they
might obtain a square meal while
his wife remained at home starving
But. according 10 the complaint,
Bill was not satisfied that his wife
should remain at home In the empty
pantry. He wanted her to vaeaIe
he place absolutely. To this end
he removed all the furniture to one
II HIS farms, He even took with him
he kitchen range. This action was
he more lamentable when the plain
in reminds us that she bought the
urnlture with her own money.
Through three pages OF fine print
he bad side OF Bins character Is
et forth in detail. Then follows
I've pages and a half telling how rich
'laggett is. about dozen different
arms or other pieces OF property be.
ng designated, and the document
oneludes with the prayer that when
he marriage bonds a.e dissolved
ne third of these lands shall go
o the plaintiff.
Carson and Brown are the attor-
leys for the plaintiff.
