will give the rate from that station to
al other blocks in the United States.
To illustrate: New York city Is located
In block 952. Some twenty other towns
and villages are included in the block
Chicago is located in block S3S, which
also contains score or more OF cities
and towns. A shipper in New York
wishing to send a package to Chicago
will learn from the directory the block
in which Chicogo is situated. Then;
ascertain the number of the scale OF
rates which applies upon all packages
bteween block 95e and block S3S
Some Slight Increases.
While there has been an almost uniform
reduction in charges on parcels weigh
ing fifty pounds or less. the rates on
packages Weighing more than fifty
pounds have not been materially reduced
In some instances the commissions pro-
posed rate basis shows slight increase
Of the charges on heavy packages. This
indicates the belief of the commission
that the rates Of the express companies
per 100 pounds are not, on the whole,
seriously excessive.
BY the terms of the commissions order
the changes in the regulations. methods
and practices of the express COM
panies; the reclassification of ex-
press UAItcT, u0 CHduScS III tuS uAAA6
Of packages, and other administrative re-
forms are required to be put into effect
Immediately. The rates proposed. how
ever, will not become effective before
some time next fall. The commission has
fixed October at the date for the be-
ginning of hearing Of the represent
atives Of express companies and shippers
as to why the rates prescribed by the
commission should not 90 into effect
Commissioner Lane makes vigorous
attack, in the report. on the so-called
scale Of graduated charges by which the
express companies now determine the
rate which shall apply to a package Of
a given weight. This scale is held by the
commission to be unreasonable. discrimi-
natory and arbitrary. The report says:
''It is the product Of years OF shrewd
manipulation, has no justification in the
minds Of the express men themselves. and
is the richest example yet brought to our
attention of tariff based exclusively
upon the theory that the charge should
be what the trafic will bear"
After the hearing next October sup
Elementary order will be entered by the
commission putting into effect the rates
proposed as soon as 1t may be considered
practicable to make them effective.

tons, railways and other cultural fea-
lures; rivers, creeks, mountains
mountain ranges and all other i'm
portant natural features; contour
lines and graded coloring showing the

of the state.
The other is a geological map pre-.

A message from Montezuma county
this morning gives the information
that c. ]. Scharnhorst, who is we'll
known in Durango, very prominent
man and ex-county judge of Monte
yuma county, killed his wife last night
about 8 o'clock, at their home near
Cortez.
1t seems that after he had COM

attorney, W. F. Mowry, what ne had
done, then went upstairs and shot
himself.
The body of his wife was found
downstairs while his was found up
stairs.
1t seems that they had had do
mestic troubles and that she had ap-
piled to the courts for divorce which
was to come up in the court today.
Fl. NJ. Hogg was acting as attorney
for Mrs. Scharnhorst.
That the deed was contemplated 10
evidenced from the fact that he made
the statement recently that they would
both be in their graves before the
date Of the trial. It seems that he
was charged with cruelty and this ID
said to be the same charge preferred
against him by his former wife who
was divorced.

to secure the fullest cooperation OF all

A number of persons attending the

as II something could be done, or ought
to be done, at the state convention TO
prevent the placing in the field OF
ticket Of independent candidates FOR

have been further from the facts. The
certainty of an independent ticket Tor
electors was placed beyond recall some
time ago by events happening else
where. Now the Roosevelt men have
got down to business. issued a call tor
convention, will open headquarters
and soon will be running along
smoothly toward success. The high
standing and deep earnestness OF the
men whose names were signed TO the

JunY Naked ON PRIMARY.
eFoux City Democrats In Need Of Cop
lee Of the Law.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Notnes, July 13.-1t seems that
no copies Of the Iowa primary law are
to be had IA Sioux City. and the poll
ticians there have been all at sea as
to how to make nominations in the
county. The secretary Of state re-
ty convention undertook to make new
nominations for senator and repre-
sentativeS after the nominations had
been made in the usual way al the
primary election. W. G. Sears, mayor
Of Sioux City. was nominated for sena-
tor against Hunter, receiving eighty
five votes This fact was certified
here and the state executive council
made the record to show his nomina-
ton. This fact was widely published
and accepted. But it seems that Mayor
Sears did not want the nomination, and
the county convention promptly pro-
ceeded to make another nomination as
Il 1t had a right to ignore the vote OF
the people The same situation pre-
vailed as to the two candidates for
representative, both Of whom were
duly nominated by marking their
names on the ballots.
II the democrats desire TO effect a
change in their ticket they can easily
do so by having the duly elected can
didate withdraw, leaving a vacancy
which can be filled by the county COM
mittee. But under the Iowa primary
no convention has a right TO undo the
work Of the voters in the primary
election.
