A Curiosity in Old House.

Selectman Charles Weeks found
quite a curiosity when repapering
some of the rooms in the house on
the Warren Wright farm on the
North Danville road recently. which
he has purchased. Under the plaster
on some of the walls he found copies
of the North Star, a publication which
some of our Oldest readers will re-
member, and the printing is very legi-
BILE, although the paper shows the
marks of time. One advertiser ent
which he found shows that COM
modities were then advertised in the
county papers that do not now find
a place, and by request we reprint
the one in question.

LIVE STOCK RATES LEVELED
Made Same from All Missouri River
Cities to Chicago,
RAILROADS GIVE UP THE FIGHT
Having Raised the Dressed Beef
Rates, They COReede other Point
and Exchange Agrees 20
DismissaI OF ITS Case.

The railroads having increased the rates
on dressed beef between Omaha and Chi
caso and Sioux City and Chicago, thus dis
eliminating as in favor OF Kansas City
and st. Joseph, have magnanimously
agreed to a uniform rate on live stock for
all Missouri river cities to Chicago on this
basis therefore the petition of the South
Omaha Live stock exchange against the
several railroads operating between Omaha
and Chicago for an equal rate on live stock
shipments from Omaha to Chicago with
that OF Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph was dismissed by Interstate Commerce
Commissioner r. D. Clark Thursday morn
ing. The railroads through their several
attorneys, agree 10 give Omaha the same
rate enjoyed by the other cities on April /.
The stipulation were agreed to orally by
all the attorneys Tor the railroads, each
announcing that the rates on live stock
from Kansas City, Atchison and 81. Jo-
seph should be raised to the Omaha rate,
which is 2Sh cents on cattle and hogs and
8 cents on sheep.
withdrawal of Rates.
The agreement involves the withdrawal
OF the Kansas City, Atchisou and ST, Joseph
rates on live stock and the substitution of
the Omaha rate from all Missouri river
points thus giving Omaha an equal chance
with these points, which has hitherto been
denied Omaha.
Commissioner Clark said the case would
be dismissed without further hearing with
the understanding that the new rates
should be published forthwith, to become
effective April /.
The Live Stock exchange people are much
elated over their victory, many Of whom
were present at the dismissal OF the case.
This live stock rate suit, as a suit, has no
relation to the matter OF the increased
dressed beef rate, but II may bear a very
live relation in another respect, The pack
ers contend that II the dressed baef rate
is allowed to stand, making is more from
Omaha and Sioux City to Chicago, than
from Kansas City and st. Joseph, there'll
not much live stock from this territory be
unloaded this side OF Chicago.
