me the composers OF such plays are
animated by a spirit OF perversity.
They remind me of old Uncle Jethro
Husk.
Uncle Jethro sat fishing on the
bank OF tiny rivulet when a stran-
ger stopped beside him and said:
lis it possible that there are any
fish in such small stream as that
"No. there amt none,' Uncle Jeth
grunted.

The complaint was drawn up and the
fight was made by Geo. T. Bell, COM
missioner Of tho traffic bureau.
1t is held by the commission. through
Commissioner Clark, that the rates on
shipments moving under the first five
classes, applying from the Mississippi
river to the Missouri river as parts or
the through rates on shipments from
points east OF the Illinois Indiana state
line other than Atlantic seaboard ter
ritory are unreasonable and discrim-
inatory.
Uniform rates applicable as parts Of
the through rates on shipments from
all points east Of the Indiana-Illinois
state line from the Mississippi river
crossing to the Missouri river cities
are prescribed.
PREPARATION on past shipments is de-
MED.
Compromise Rates Made.
The commission orders the roads to
establish on or before December 80
next and for not less than two years
thereafter to maintain, as parts of the
thrn ,erl rot AlxytY, ha Ttoo

are important concessions. In the COM

Other Rates Involved.
Involved in the same case was the
question whether the roads should be
allowed to advance rates following the
expiration, November 10 of the orders
Of the commission in the Burnham-
Hanna Munger case. The commission
investigated these proposed advances
and found the railroads had to some
extent sustained the burden of proof
put on them. This, however, does not
prevent the orders for reduction In &C
cordance with the rates already named
on through business from points Of
