Warrington. D. G. Jan. 7.-Presi-

mending amendments to the inter-
state commerce law were read before
congress today. He recommends the
following: United States commerce
court; prosecution and defense Of
cases brought BY and against inter-
state commerce commission by de-
.partment Of Justice instead Of spec
tal attorneys; commission to be en-
powered to alter rates submitted by
carriers and prescribe maximum
rates If those submitted seem exorbi-

in the issuance of capital stock with
out payment of par value, unless
founded on bona tide physical prop
Ierty. The enactment of a general
law providing for the formation of
corporations to engage in interstate
states, prevent recurrence, under La
tional auspices, of abuses offered I'M

brushed down now and again. OF
course. no farmer with q herd of
steers Is going to groom them. but
you must remember that King Ellis
worth was getting ready to go to
Chicago in q private car to be adj
judged the best steer in America.
The greatest steer In America has
short legs. His most striking point
was the remarkable smoothness and
eveness Of his covering. His flesh was
firm. He is q pure bred Angus.
When he went to Chicago King
Ellsworth weighed 1850 pounds. He
sold for eighteen cents q pound on
the hoof. The fad Of paying fabulous
prices for prize winners has passed to
some extent. But at that a sirloin
steak from ming Ellsworth will prob
ably retail for dollar a pound. And
the thought Of such a steak. doubtless
would cause Epicurus to turn over
in his Greek grave and smile pleas
antly.
King Ellsworth was purchased in
Chicago after the International Show
by the Hartford Market company Of
Hartford. Conn. He was carried in 9
special car from Chicago to New
England and exhibited In many
towns. Holiday week he was slaugh.

may enter. This gives all an equal
opportunity.
Another distinct feature of this
contest will be to let the winners
choose their own prizes from the list.
No contestant will be arbitrarily
awarded a prize. The contestant Sc
curing the highest number Of votes
will have the first choice from the list
of prizes; the next highest will have
second choice and SO on down the
list of thirty-three awards. This plan
Of distributing the prizes is much
more satisfactory as it gives each
contestant just what he or she wants
and not something not wanted and
that cannot be used.
The Republican contest will be alb
solutely on the square. No votes will
be issued unless on subscriptions ac-
companied by the cash.

Notch in the Employ Of the Mil
waukee Company.

This morning Charles A. Anderson
was found sitting in the trainmaster's
office at the Milwaukee's dispatcher's
Office, surrounded with a large
amount of accumulated mail bushes.
while in the chief dispatcher's Office
Frank M. Smith. Of Mason City. Ia.
is now holding forth. The change
occurred this morning.
Mr.. Anderson will have charge of
the Milwaukee system as trainmaster
from Sanborn to Chamberlain and
the Running Water branch, with his
headquarters in Mitchell. Mr.. An
derson has been in the employ of the
Milwaukee company for about "a
years, and he is comparatively a
young man yet. Agent Shelby started
him of in the company's work down
at Emmetsburg, Iowa, and he has
been climbing along through the tele-
graphic department for the past IS
years, working one of the tricks in
Mason City for a number of years.
and about five years ago he was pro-
noted to the position of chief train
dispatcher at Sanborn, Iowa, and
came to Mitchell when the force was
removed to this city about three years
ago. The move forward in the SER
vice Of the company indicates that
Milwaukee officials consider him a
man worthy of promotion, and the
manner n which he has performed
his duties in the years that are past
counted for him when a tratnmaster
was desired out this way. w. A.
Peterson has been attending to the
entire division and 1t has been more
than he could attend to, hence the
split up of the work, which lands
Mr.. Anderson in a good berth.
MI. Smith has been in the employ
Of the company for about a quarter
of q century. and is one of the pop
ular men in the telegraphic depart
ment.

PlHcnoT IS DISMISSED
Taft Peremptorily Sends
Chief Forester From Public Ser.
vice for Writing Against
BallinRer.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Giford Pin
chot. chief Forester, and an intimate
friend of Roosevelt, was last night
dismissed from the government SER
vice by Taft for INSTRUMENTATION. AS
sociate Forester Overton w. Price, as
sistant law otncer, and Alexandria G..
Shaw, of the forestry bureau, were
also dismissed.
Indignant " the action of Pin
chot in inducing Dolliver to read his
letter in the senate yesterday. Taft
listened to no advice that the forest
er's violation of executive orders. be
overlooked pending the inquiry I'M
dertaken by congress. He declared
that he would be unfaithful to his
trust if he submitted to such an at
tack.
Taft has been convinced For some
time that the insurgents and other
critics have enlisted the services of
Pinchot and was practically defying
him to dismiss Pinchot.
The latter's letter. few here doubt,
was written with the direct purpose
of putting It squarely up to the pres
lident."
The president sought to avoid tie
threatened war, but yesterday he
picked up the gauge thrown down by
Pinchot through Dolliver. and is
ready for the fray certain to ensue.
In the house Cannon lost to the in
surgents. who, combining with the
democrats caused adoption Of an
amendment to the Ballinger-Pinchot
inquiry resolution to, take from the
speaker the power to appoint the
house members ofsthe joint investiga-
ton committee. The margin Of vic
tory was only three votes but the In
surgents and democrats were alike
jubilant.
Three republicans not classed as
insurgents, but protesting a friend
ship for Pinchot, voted with the In
surgents and democrats.
The letter directing dismissal Of
Pinchot was carefully framed yester-
day and repeatedly revised.

Although the audience has been
increasing every night since the be-
ginning. the one last night was much
larger than any before. Beside the
fifty or sixty young people in the
choir. the floor Of the auditorium
was nearly filed. 8
One Of the most attractive feat
ures last night vas the music. The
meeting last night was opened by q
selection by the orchestra and those
who came In late missed q very at
tractive part of the meeting. The
orchestra was led by Stanley Nor
ris and its music was thoroughly
appreciated by those present. The
orchestra also played the accompan-
iment for the songs. It gave them
a great deal Of zest and spirit. Prob
ably all the meetings after this will
be opened by a selection by the or
cheshire. The singing led by the
orchestra and Mr.. Tibbet's choir was
even better than before. Mr.. Tibbets
has a great voice and if anyone can
make people sing he can. Those who
do not sing are requested to sing a
solo. The songs in the new song book
both old and new, are very good and
are sung with great enthusiasm.
AS usual those who went to hear
Dr.. Hoagland were not disappoint-
ed. Throughout the whole address
the audience followed him with clos
est attention. His address "a very
lA.eresting, and helpful not only to
christians but to others as we'll.
DR.. Hoagland spoke from the text,
ii pray that Thou will keep them
from evil" Fear of stumbling he
said keeps many from taking a stand
for Christ. But it seems that a God
who can make our sins as white as
snow when they are as scarlet, sure
ly ought to be able to keep them so.
Here we are in a world Of sin, q
world full Of pitfalls. But God has
provided guardians to keep US from
evil and the best guardian He has
for US is within US. We are kept by
sources Of power within us rather
than without. One Of these sources
OF power is our instinct of moral
danger. Animals have instincts
which protect. them from danger.
How much more important then that
man should have an instanct to pro-
tect from harm his most valuable
possession, the soul. This is a fac
ulty whose sensitiveness is increased
by training. 1t should be cultivat-
ed and carefully guarded. No sadder
sight can be found than a young
man with q blunted moral instinct.
fSuch is the tragic power of sin. An
other Of these sources of power is
the fullness and richness of an in
ner life. God can so fill a man with
his power Of an inner life that the
sins of this world can have no eff
feet upon him. It is a lie to say
that every man has his own price.
