Rate Gases Decided.

Last Tuesday. the United States su-
preme court decided that the interstate
commerce CON mission had not exceeded
its power in ordering the reduction of
freight rates in the so-called Missouri
river rate case and the Denver rate
case. These orders were held to be
valid.
The Missouri river rate cases We're
based on an order from the commission
reducing the rate between the Missis-
sippi river and the Missouri river as a
part of the through rate on through
shipments originating in the seaboard
territory.
The Denver freight cases We're based
on an order reducing the rates on
through freight from Chicago and from
St. Louis to Denver.

and Tuesday nights was splendid sue
cess Only two weeks were given over
to rehearsal work and in that short
time the difficult songs and marches
were learned and learned well. 1t
would be impossible to give each indi-
vidual special mention as there were
almost fifty in the cast including the
childrens' choruses. The chorus work
was one of the best things ever heard
! here, in fact we Fever before realized
how many singers We're equally divided
into the Jewish chorus and the Persian
chorus. The third chorus was com
posed of eighteen little girls dressed in
white. and representing flower girls
they sang well and received hearty APP
plause. The solo parts We're very well
taken alsO-sOme of them were really
excellently done.
Miss Ethel Easton as Queen Esther
delighted her audience. Miss Easton
has splendid soprano voice and was
charmingly suited to her part. The
Queens robes We're very becoming to

taken by c. w. Labaree. Quite little
dramatic ability is required in this par,
and Mr.. Labaree proved himself just
as much at home in this line as in the
very difficult solos he sang. The part
of Mordecai's sister was taken by Miss
| Zaida GOucher. Miss Gouchtr has an
unusually sweet voice and has perfect
control of it. The part of the prophecies
was taken by Mrs. f. F. Clayton. She
sang in her usual pleasing manner and
did her part well. T. A. Smith as Nor
decai, Finley Dye as the High Priest

parts in a very creditable manner. The

A Place to Tighten the Screws

arrested a section foreman and part of
his crew.
On Tuesday Justice Harrison allowed
the foreman to plead guilty to disturb

Justice Harrison known what an ugly
bunch he was dealing with he would
haveTgiven the screws of justice an
other turn. While this was their first
appearance in court, it was not their
first otiense against the peace and dig

We can understand the kind of an
