ORDERS CUT IN PULLMAN RATES
Interstate Boards Washington Rule
Affects Trips West from Chicago.

Affects Trips West from Chicago.
Reductions in Pullman car rates, es-
pecially in the Northwest from Chica-
go to the Pacific, are ordered in a de-
cision of the interstate commerce COM
mission, given out the other day. Rates
are reduced in every case where spe-
cltic complaints were made. The COM
the upper berths are not worth so
much to the public as lower berths. In
the cases decided upper berth rates are
placed at three-fourths of the lower
berth rates, in some cases slightly less.
By way of st. Paul the present rate of
S14 for either berth from Chicago to
Seattle will be reduced to S12 for i
lower berth and SO for an upper berth.
Officials of the commission expect this
rate to be adopted by roads running
from Chicago to Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Portland and other West
ern points The commission decided
upon four rates, those from ST. Panl
to Chicago, Superior, Fargo and Seat
tie. The run from Chicago to St. Paul
is 400 miles, and for this distance the
commission recognizes a So rate for a
lower berth. For upper berths, how
ever, the price is reduced to $1.50. For
short runs, such as that from St. Paul
to Fargo, N, D., the 81 rate for lower
berth is reduced to $3.50, and the 50
rate for an upper berth is reduced to
S110. The through rate from st. Paul
to Seattle. now S12, is reduced to $40
for a lower berth and $3.50 for an up
per berth.

held off a crowd of thirty aroused
guests of neighboring hotel in Lane,
S. D., at 2:30 o'clock while they ap-
piled the match to the fuse of their
hnal two powerful blasts against the
obstinate vault door of the Citizens
State bank. The first explosion had
brought out several persons, in night
attire, but when they faced the dark
muzzles of the rifles in the dim dawn
they scurried back into the Mitchell
Hotel and alarmed the rest of the
sleepers and most of the town by
phone. The robbers continued grimly
at their work, with leveled rifles, for
about an hour, but the proprietor of
the hardware. store could not be
aroused to provide arms and ammuni-
ton for the people. Having fired two
more blasts in vain, the desperadoes
vanished back through the alley into
another part of the town, where they
stole the rig of a Methodist preacher
and drove southwark toward Virgil,
eight miles away, where all trace of
them has been lost.
