ROADS ARE INDICTED FOR GIVING REBATES
Vice President. of the New York Central Lines
 Also Indicted

Chicago. December 17.-John Christensen, vice president of the New York Central railway lines, and three subsidiary lines of the systetm, were indicted by the fed eral grand jury today, charged with hay ing given rebates to the O'Gara Coal com pany. amounting to s6o,OO0. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Big Four and Chicago, Indiana and Southern rail- roads are named in the true bill along with MT. Christensen.
 The true bill sets forth that the all legged rebates were granted between Au- gust l, 1908 and January 1, 1910. and that they were carried on the books of the New York Central lines as advance pay ments for fuel coal to be used by the Lake Shore railway The indictment charges that the coal never was deliv- cred that the money never was repaid by the O'Gara Coal company and that the fuel company was permitted to re- tain the money and use it in it's own busi- ness.
 Indictments previously returned against Thomas OGara, head of the coal com pany, and the three railroads charge that certain payments were made outright as rebates.
 The phase of the case involving the re- ported ownership of stock in the O'Gara company by certain New York Central officials is not covered by the indict- ments.

CHICAGO STOCK SHOW.

This great show will be held from
November 80 to December Z, at the
Union Stock Yards, Chicago. The en-
tries are greater than ever before,
the quality OF stock better, and the
interest among farmers, breeders and
feeders keener than at any previous
time.
1t may be interesting to state that
the international Live Stock EXPOSE
ton, from comparatively small be-
ginning, twelve years ago, has assum-
ed such importance in the live stock
world, as to render its annual occur
renee an absolute necessity, not only
on account of its being the high
court OF appeal, the court Of last re
sort to stockmen, but because it sets
the stamp OF approval upon those OF
our domesticatea animals that are
most in demand, and establishes a
standard among stock that must be
lived up to in order to realize for the
breeder, feeder and farmer the high
est price for his produce.
The day OF the inferior animal, the
slow feeder and the tardy money get
ter is passed, and in order to succeed
and obtain the best results in the
shortest possible time. stockmen must
breed for the types set by this great
international tribunal; follow its man
dates, adhere to its principles, and
abide by the findings OF its judges
in order to breed that which is best,
reaches maturity the quickest, and
realizes the highest price in the short
est time.
The ordinary observer has little
idea OF what this exposition is, what
1t teaches and what 1t means. 1t must
be seen to be appreciated. 1t must be
studied to be understood.
No more pleasant time can be spent.
no more practical lessons learned,
and no more valuable knowledge gain
ed, than by attending the eight days
devoted to this show The stockman
will gain more real, sound, solid and
serviceable information by attending
this exposition than he can gain in
ten times the period at any other in
stitution. At this show he sees the
best of every breed, his field for
comparison is immense, and his op-
portunities for practical instruction
almost limitless. By attending this
show he combines business with
pleasure. knowledge with practice,
and education with example. 1t is the
school Of rapid learning for the stock
man, free education that remains
in his head. and carries with it the
methods whereby the best live stock
| is produced and the most money
made.
