RAILROAD RATES ON LIVESTOCK

The proposed advance Of q cents
a hundred pounds on the freight
rate on livestock between Missouri
River and Mississippi river points
has been suspended pending an
inquiry by the interstate commerce
commission into the reasonableness
OF the increase. In April of the
present year the rates were raised
from 1874 cents a hundred pounds
to 1if cents. The hearing will
probably be held in Kansas City
about the middle of September as
to whether the further increase is
reasonable. Ed
The democrats and insurgents in
congress arc entitled to the thanks
of producers aud shippers for fore
ing on the unwilling republican
majaority the amendment to the
section of the act to regulate COM
mercc, which gives the interstate
commerce commission power to
suspend an ]incrcase of rates until
the reasonablencss of the rates have
been passed upon.

skeletons were discovered. The
rocks were white quartz in nature,
and as rocks of that sort are not
TO be found on the surface nearer
than several hundred feet from the

Upon this jerome took his
friends to one of the best restaur-
ants in the Palais Royal. The
three chatted and laughed and said
and d d a thousand of those foolish
things which when unprecedented
are so delightful. 1t may be sup
posed that the conversation was
not kept up without drinking.
When the wine they had drunk
began to take effect, My good

we quit each other? If you APP

secretary. AS for you, p. who

was accepted and ratified over a
fresh bottle of champagne.
At length the party began to
think Of leaving and accordingly
called for the bill. Jerome pro-
duced his purse, but the king of
Westphalia could ony find 2 louis.
which formed but a small portion
of 200 francs. the amount of the
bill. The new dignitar es by club
bing their wealth could only
muster about 8 francs.
What was to be done? At l
o'clock in the morning where could
resources be found? They de.
termind to send for the master of
the house and accquaint him how
matters STOOD. He seemed to take
the froIic in good part and merely
requested to know their names.
Having told.him, the restauraeur
set his customers down as sharpers
and threatened to send for the COM
missary of police. This alarmed
jerome, who, seeing that the
restauratcur doubted them, handed
over his watch in payment. This
watch had been a present fro m
Napoleon, and on the back was
the emperor's cipher in br%illiants.
On examining the watch the
resaurateur concluded that ii had
been stolen and took it to the
CON nissary Of police. The latter,
recognizing the imperial cipher,
ran with it to the project. The
project flew to the minister of the
interior, and he in turn went to the
emperor at st. Cloud. Next morn
ing the Moniteur contained an
ordinance in which jerome was
ordered to Westphalia at once and
prohibited from comforting any
appointments till his arrival at his
capital.-T. P's London Weekly.
