the quarrel between the Rev. j. Hen

Leigh declares that the Rev Mr. Nelms
attempted 10 usurp authority over the

Senator Tillman declared II was i'm

ANOTHER ALLEGED
RATE DISCRIMINATION

., AS a new instance of what is termed
the discrimination Of the railroads
against Salt Lake in the matter of traf-
tic rates, it was given out Friday by
a member of one of the large poultry
houses here that dealers in this city
dred as express on poultry shipped from
Nampa, Idaho, whereas Kansas and Ne.
braska turkeys could be brought into
the state, over nearly double the dis.
tance, for only $3.50
The effect of this, it is said, is to
enlarge the quantity, OF shipments of
that sort from the eastern states, al
though turkeys Just as good. and. in
can be obtained here 1t is also pointed
out that the high express charges is one
of the causes why it has been necessary
to charge such high prices for turkeys
and poultry Of all kinds this fall.

Just before the holidays King Ed
ward went to Hall Barn, Bucks, for
"a days shooting with Lord Burn
ham. Hall Barn is big square house
in Queen Anne style, with stone fac
ings and pilasters 1t was originally
the home of the poet Waller, and the
great statesman, Edmund Burke,
spent many holidays there. The dag
ger which Burke threw down on the
floor of the house of commons in 1890
during his speech in support of his
"aliens" bill is in the hall. 1t was in
the dining room at Hall Barn that
Oliver Cromwell in a temper flung
his napkin in the face of Walters
royalist mother for reproaching him
with the execution of Charles l. The

Worse Than Night Riders.

George Clark, a farmer several
miles southeast of town, had sown to-
bacco plant bed with the intention Of
growing crop this year. In order,
possibly, to brighten away night rid
ers (Which were doubtless purely
imaginary, as we have no real night
riders in this section), he planted two
United States flags, one at either end
of his tobacco bed. In the same field
with the tobacco bed were two bulls,
and these animals were evidently
strongly in favor OF the mo crop in
1908" idea. At. any rate, seeing the
red on Uncle Sans flags floating de-
family in the spring zephyrs. they
naturally constructed it as chal-
lenge to combat, as these animals will
do when red comes to their view.
After holding a council Of war in
their style they made combined
charge on the flags, so We are in
formed. When the battle was over
Mr.. Clark was minus his tobacco bed
and the flags. The bad was paved
up by the enraged animals and the
flags were torn and trampled into the
ground.-Sharpsburg, (Ky) World.
