There has been much misunderstand-

that the same ineligibility which ap-
plies 60 him would also apply 10 every

member at the time the salary Increase

IT was said here yesterday that Mr.

Taft thinks that the whole question has

contracts soon are to be let for the
erection Of big butter-making plant

Oil works at Rayonne. N. J.
Since the new process was discoy-

been taken by Standard Oil officials to
prevent the secret leaking out. and It
was only by accident that 1t became
public. The butter. cream. sweet
milk. buttermilk and cottage cheese
markets soon are to be dominated by

None Of the officials, chemista or

Has Memorixed 10000 Dates.

e. c. Laston, who has just issued q
challenge to the world for the memo
ry championship, although only a
young man of twenty-three years, Is Z
veritable walking encyclopedia, for
he has memorized 10000 dates Of the
principal events in the worlds history
since the creation. 1t was quite by
accident that he discovered that he
had an exceptional gift of memory.
He was being trained as an army on
Ger, when an attack of rheumatic t.
yer dispelled his hopes in that direc-
ton. At that time he happened to
meet the Zancigs in India, who, mo-
ticing what remarkable memory he
had for dates, advised him to cultivate
1t. He then purchased copy Of
Haydn's Dictionary of Dates and
sought to commit to memory the dates
Of the most important events in the
worlds history by writing Atty to q
hundred dates on piece OF paper and
rewriting them three or four times
until he had fully grasped them, with
the result that he has a repertoire Of
thousands OF dates and can give the
correct answers without the slightest
hesitation.

8. q. EXPRESS RATES CUT.
WeIIs-Fargo Company Alone ls Stand
ing Out Against New Schedule.

Sioux Falls.-A new schedule of ex-
press rates, which, in accordance with
an act of the last legislature, pro-
vides for a reduction Of 20 per cent
from the rates in effect Jan. last,
has been formally adopted by the
state board of railroad commissioners
as the result of an adjourned meeting
which has just been held by the board
at its headquarters in Sioux Falls.
With the exception of the Wells
Fargo Express Company, all the ex-
press companies doing business in
South Dakota have abided by the new
rate; but the Wells-Fargo Company,
alleging that, as it only a few weeks
ago took over the business of carry
ing express on the lines of the Chi,
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway
Company in the state, it did not have
any rate in effect in South Dakota on
Jan. last and, therefore, is not sub
ject to the reduction ordered by the
legislature, which is provided in the
new schedule just PIT into effect by
the railroad commissioners.
In view of the fact that the Wells
Fargo Company is standing out
against the reduced rates, the rail.
road commissioners will meet at
Mitchell on July q, when the whole
matter of express rates in South Da-
kota will be gone into.
