year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick Kaschewski, suffered the
fracture OF her left arm above the
wrist at her home, No. 70S First ave
nue. East, a few days ago. The little
girl with her sisters were sliding
down the cellar door," but not in the
good old-time approved style. The
children were wearing roller skates.
They would climb to the top of the
door, ciinging to a support until they
secured balance on their feet They
would then let go, to be shot into
space at the foot of the door. Miss
Helen was the last of the girls to try
the experiment and she did not catch
the right balance. Her feet travelled
faster than she herself did. She
could not keep up with her skates and
fell backwards upon the door and ex-
tended her arms to catch herself. she
fell with her weight on the arm. The
little girl received prompt medical
attention. Is responding readily to

THE IOWA FREIGHT RATES
RAILROAD COMMISSION BRINGS
s'r SUIT FOR SHIPPERS.
Complaint Made Against Largest
Roads in State, and Divided In
~ to Three Classes.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. S.-Special:
Probably, the most important freight
rate action ever commenced in behalf
or Iowa shippers, is that which has
just been instituted under direction
of the Iowa Board of Railroad com
missionera before the Interstate Com
merce commission at Washington,
II. q.
Under direction Of the board Of
commissioners the attorney general
has mailed formal complaint
against the railroads, divided into
three classes:
The first relating to proportional
class rates and directed against the
seven largest railroads in the state.
The second relating to commodity
rates and against all roads in the
state.
The third relating wholly to local
shipments.
The information upon which these
protests are based was furnished the
board of railroad commissioners by
the Des Moines committee in April
of this year, and on June 2 the board
issued an order directing the attorney
general to bring the suit which is now
formally begun.
The action is based on the amend.
ment made by the last congress to
the act to regulate commerce. 1t Is
charged that Iowa is Disseminated
against by reason of through rates of
the intermediate rates.

Des Moines, Aug. Especial: For
the first time in ten years the total
tonnage of coal mined in Iowa will
fall off this year, according to the bt.
ennial report of the state mine inspec.
tor, now being compiled for the bene'
fit of the General Assembly this com.
ing. winter. The cause of this falling
off in output. is apparent because OF
the two months idleness in Iowa
mines this spring, pending the joint
scale committee settlement of wages,
The report will show the increase in
output for 1909 to be over a quarter
of a million more tons than during
the preceding year. In 1908 the out
put was 2,249,990. During the year
1909 the output was 2,546,245 tons.
While there will be a falling off this
year, it is not expected the tonnage
will go as low as that of 1908. -

w. B. Barney, state food and dairy
commissioner, is nov, hot after the
peddlerso ice cream cones and cheap

instances the ice cream sold is made
under filthy conditions and that in the
making of the cones, boron compound
and saccharin are used. The use oii
the two latter substances is forbid
den by the pure food laws.

cones and in the handling of them,
and with the beginning of next week,
he will set his inspectors to work
checking up on the ice cream cone
peddlers. 'tr' 5a*
The crusade being conducted by
the commissioner against unclean
dairymen has had the desired result,
so he stated yesterday. The samples
picked up by his inspectors the past

tinue, he says, or there will be more
prosecutions.
