Soldiers Prevented Invasion.

Madrid, July 29.-By lining the
Franco-Spanish frontier with soldiers,
the government succeeded in prevent
ing the invasion Of Spain by several
thousand exiles, which was scheduled
to take place today. The exiles arc
camped along the frontier for many
miles and it is expected that they will
resume their advance, Barcelona be-
ing their objective point, as soon as the
present guard is reduced. The main
tenance Of this guard for more than a
few days is believed to be impossible.
Don Jamie, the pretender, and other
prominent Carlists have been seen in
the vicinity recently, indicating that
the invasion movement is being super
intended by them. A serious clash is
exnected within few DAYS.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Eastern Tourist Rates Have
Been Announced.
Rates to Atlantic Coast Same as
Last Year.
LONG RETURN LIMITS.
Western Lines Make Special
Tariffs to Colorado.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.
LONG RETURN LIMITS.

That the various railroads in all sec
tons of the country will grant tourist
rates in order to stimulate summer
travel Is probable. As yet no definite
announcements have been made by the
western railroads relative to reductions
for the season, although it is under
stood that such will be forthcoming.
Eastern roads already have made an
nouncementS.
According to information received by
the local offices OF the Pennsylvania and
New York Central systems, the summer
tourist rates TO eastern points virtually
Will be the same as those of last sea-
son. There may, however, be slight
deviation The rates will be figured on
a basis amounting to nearly one fare
and one-third for the round trip, for
all standard fares. The differential
rates, which are granted the smaller
roa6S, and those with longer mileage
will be slightly less.
The stopover privilege, however, will
be more liberal this season than in pre-
vious years. More hberality also will
be shown in the return limits, Which
have been heightened to 60 days. Tick
cts will be on sale between June / and
September l. Under the rates provided
this season the standard fare from
Kansas City TO New York and return
will be S41.S5, while the differential will
be $40.50.
The eastern railroads also announces
special tourist rates to northern Michi-
gan, Canada, the Great Lakes and 9th
er popular resorts.
While it is not known exactly what
the western roads will do regarding
Colorado points, it is believed generally
that the same rates as last season will
apply. These tickets probably will be
offered from June l to october l.
Rates to the north and northwest,
where there ALWAYS is a heavy DaSSen-
ger movement during summer season,
have not been made known yet, but
these, too, likely will be similar to
those Of last season.

This is the first step taken by the
railroads which appears to indicate q
purpose generally to increase freight

to enable them to meet their increased
operating expenses.
Already tariff sheets have been filed
for western roads increasing the rate
for the transportation of wool from

hundred pounds. Under the provisions
of the tariff the rate will be "a cents

nearly 20 per cent. The rate to Bos-
ton will be proportionately higher.
An increase also has been made in
the freight rate on live hogs between
Minneapolis and st. Paul and Chicago
Of two and a half cents hundred
pounds. This is an increase of about
While no tariffs yet have been filed
with the commission increasing the
rate on meat products from Chicago to
eastern territory, the likelihood ap-
pears to be that taking the St. Paul

COST OF ICING CARS.

Lane on the lemon rate case, which
has been taken under advisement
pending the securing by the COM
missions representatives the true fig
ures on the cost of icing. The action
of placing government inspectors to
ascertain the actual cost of the icing
was caused by the discrepancies be-

from which will be compiled the fig

Mr.. Wright entered on his work this
week, and during the last seven days

My idea of expensive ludicrous-
ness is the holding I'D of the high
school history now coming from the
press on account of two fraternity pic
lures in it. Fraternities were a part
of the high school history. They have
passed on. We'll say. but they could
hardly contaminate the reader of the
book by the use of two pictures of
fraternity groups. On the same ground
some future historian or superintend-
ent might strike out Mr.. Whittemore's
picture from a history, but would that
change the fact that he was a superin-
tendent once?
