PREDICTION OF KNOX.

Before the graduating class of the
Pennsylvania university secretary Of
state among other things said:
1--WE have reached point where it is
evident that The future holds in store
a time when wars shall cease when
the nations of the world shall realize
a federation as real and vital as that
now subsisting between the compon-
ent parts of single state; when by
strong shall universally help the weak
two years in the eastern part of the
and when the corporate righteousness
of the world shall compel unrighteous-
ness to disappear and shall destroy
the habitations Of cruelty still linger-
ing in the dark places of the earth.
This is "the spirit of the wide world
brooding on things to come" That
ray will be the millennium, of course /;
but in some sense and degree it will
surely be realized in this dispensation
of mortal time"

PFALERS ASSAIL WHEAr RATES

CHICAGO, July 1O.-Prominent
grain dealers and millers throughout
the west attended the hearing conduct
ed here today by Examiner Boyle Of
the Interstate Commerce commission
relative to alleged unjust rates on
wheat from Minneapolis to Chicago.
The proceedings is regarded as excep-
tionally important to the flour indus
tries.
As result Of a milling -in-transit
arrangement at Minneapolis, It is al
legged, millers in the latter city are
enabled to bring their wheat there,
turn it into flour and ship It to Chi
cago at the rate Of z 1-2 cents a
hundred pounds.
Chicago milers, on the other hand,
are compelled to pay 10 cents hun
dred pounds on wheat shipped here
from Minneapolis, This arrangement
it is contended enables Minneapolis
millers to deliver their flour in Chi
cago at an advantage of 2 1-2 cents
a. hundred pounds, so far as freight
charges are concerned, over the To-
cal millers.

FIRE UNDER
CONTROL
FOREST FIRE CHECK ED BEFORE
MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE;
PROMPT SERVICE.

Yesterday afternoon, a forest fire,
which had evidently been burning
since Monday, was reported i'll to the
Durango forest office. Immediately
the officers here gathered together
about ten men and went to the scene
Of the fire, on Barnes mountain, above
the Sites ranch. Tney fought the fire
all night and succeeded II getting It
under control. Men are still watching
the f1e to see that It does not start
anew 1t burned over some ten acres.
The forest boys are to be congrat-
rlated in their effort TO stop what
might have proved very disastrous
FIRE had it lot been PLACED under con-
troll last night 1t is not known how
the fire started, but no doubt was
started by some person going off and
leaving cam1 fire. 1t is quite GER
tain that it was caused through care
lessness The government laws are Sc
we're in cases Of this kind. The Du-
rangn forest office would no doubt be
very glad for any information con-
cerning the origin of the fire. Each
person should appoint himself or her
self committee Of one to notify
the officers as soon as there is dis
covered fire in the forests in order
to prevent it spreading and getting
beyond the control of the forest ser
vice.
A big fire would be very damag-
ing to our mountains.

NINE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS

PARSONS, Kans., July 10.--Missou-
ri, Kansas g. Texas passenger train
No. 8, known as the katy Limited"
which left here at 1000 o'clock last
night, was held up by four masked
men near Coffeyville, Kans., early to-
day according to reports received at
local headquarters of the road.
The bandits held the train two hours
during which time passengers and the
trainmen were corraled and guarded
in coaches by two of the robbers while
the other two made nine unsuccessful
attempts to blow open the safe in the
baggage car. No effort was made to
rob passengers and no one was in
jured.
Apparently the robbers became
alarmed and finally left of their own
accord, fearing presumably that they
might be surprised by the approach OF
another train or the arrival Of officers
who might have been sent to learn
what was delaying the train.
No arrests have been made and no
other details have been received.
