ECHO OF SOLDIERS HOME ROW
HEARD IN DISTRICT COURT.

bers of Former Home Board

Hot Springs-The district court
here has awarded Austin H. Lathrop,
a discharged veteran of the state sill
diers home, $500 damages against for
mer Commandant Geddes and members
of the former home board. This is
the result of suit brought by Lathrop
for dishcharge without cause, and is
Il sequel to the investigation By the
legislature last winter which resulted
then in the dismissal OF Col Geddes.
after charges and counter charges had
been made in quarrel that was state
wide.
latlIrop was once prominent busi-
ness man in Nermillion but became
poor and was admitted to the home
Years ago. He was discharged on COM
plaint that he was associating with GER
tain women. Other soldiers had been
discharged from time to time and this
led to the sending of telegram TO
Gov Vessey. signed by prominent Of
hcials and citizens of this city and
county, demanding Col. Geddes' dis.
charge A Legislative investigation fol
lowed and Geddes was retired
Those who must pay Lathrop are ].

Makes important Discovery.

Brookings.-F. ]. Pritchard, of the
United States department of agri-
culture, while working with expert
ments of sugar beets at the State Col
lege put the finishing touches or very
important discovery. While at the col
lege, with the assistance of Professor
Olive, he has made the very import.
ant discovery concerning the rust of
wheat. He has found that the fungus
threads of the rust parasite are pres
ent in the grain and when the grain is
terminated the rust grows up into the
plant. In other words he has discov-
cred that rust of wheat is an interior
and not an exterior diseast or condi-
ton. This discovery is very import
ant and of great economic significance,
for by the proper selection of seed it
is now thought that that rust can be
obviated. While Professor Pritchard
has not absolutely demonstrated that
the rust fungus grows inside develop-
ing plants, finally coming to the sur
face to form the we'll known rust pus-
tules, his theory appears very reason
able 1t seems quite probable then,
that good share of wheat rust which
appears year after year is planted with
the grain. If this is true it will be
readily seen that the remedy for rust
IN the future is to plant pure, non
rusted seed.

ORDERLOWER RATES
COMMERCE COMMISSION REM
DERs TWO DECISIONS OF
IMPORTANCE.
RULINGS COVER WIDE SCOPE
All Tariffs Between Atlantic and Pa
cific Are Affected Directly, and Par
ticularly Those Between Denver and
Western Coast Points.

Washington, ID. C.--In what are
known as the Spokane Reno Pacific
coast cases, the interstate commerce
commission ordered material reduce
tions in freight rates from the east to
points between Denver and the west
ern terminals of the great transconti-
1c.:s! railroads. For mary yo.rs the
railroads have exacted from shippers
to intermediate points, such as Spo-
kane and Reno, higher rates on east
ern freight than We're charged for the
much longer hauls to Seattle, San
Francisco and other points. The deci-
s!ons are of far reaching Importance.
They effect directly all freight rates
between the Atlantic ocean and the
Pacific coast. Hereafter the rates paid
by shippers will be governed by a
strict Interpretation OF the long and
short haul clause.
The commission holds in the So
called Reno case that traffic original
ing at Chicago and in Chicago terri
tory moving under commodity rates
may have rate per cent higher to
intermediate points than that imposed
on freight originating in Chicago and
Chicago territory destined to the Pa
cific coast terminals. From Buffalo
Pittsburg territory the rates may rise
above those demanded from the same
points to Pacific coast terminals to the
extent of Is per cent, while from New
York and trunk line territory the rates
charged shall not exceed % per cent
over Pacific coast terminal rates

the rate sought by the shippers, which
the railroads desired to raise.

special freight rates on hay, which
makes a rate of % cents a hundred
on that commodity from all points in
the state east of the Missouri to all
points west as far as Belle Fourche

one cent a hundred to points east of
Belle Fourche
This rate applies from Yankton or
Alcester on their south line, Brookings
on the east and Redfie,d on the north,
and the rate is made the same from
these points to Or between any of the
