asln of the great game of Carnegie and

Governor B. F. Carroll, and James

Speaker Feely weighs os5 pounds

their catching up. so they turned him
over to Donovon. who weighs little
more than 100 and has played over the
Grandview golf course so many times
that he could do it with his eyes shut.
Representative White and Secretary
Nye laughed for an hour about what
would happen 10 Feely out in the sun
with 2S5 pounds keeping up With Dom
ovon. They had visions that 1t would
be the last game Feely would play.

thusiastic golfer When he had cooled
down he began inquiring the best
make of golf balls and where to buy
golf clubs.
On a. petition of the railroads for a
rehearing the railroad commission to-
day took up a number of rates which
the commission ordered in effect in its
last supplement to the Iowa classical
ton. BY far the most important is the
rate on lunl her which was lowered on
long hauls on the showing that the IL
linois Central was making a lower rate
from Dubuque to Sioux City. The
board ordered in the rate that the Il
linois Central made Now the Illinois
Central is asking that the rate be
raised to the old figure.
Formerly there vas one classical
ton on hard and soft lumber and
shingles and lath and sash and blinds
in straight or mixed cars. The COM
mission made TWO additional classif-
cations for commodity rates and low
cred these new rates on hard and soft
lumber and shingles and lath in
straight or mixed cars and on sash
and blinds and doors in straight or
mixed cars. The new rate was made
on distances of 260 TO $50 miles SO as
to take the across the-state hauls.
| The other rehearings are on hay
carriers, grave vaults, epson salts
sulphur and sulphur candles, and
spring beds and mattresses.
