MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 2.-Is a

question is puzzling the general
freight agents of the various rail
road lines in territories west of the
Mississippi river; also, causing
many thousands of dollars to hang
in the balance.
The question arises from dis
tinca heading under which frogs or
frog skins can be shipped. At pres
ent frog skins are being handled by
roads as double firstclass" freight
which, according to the frog rails

cheaper rate, it is demanded that
frogs and frog skins be dispatched
under some distinct heading, sucA
