 On all parcels under 30 pounds rates are lowered radically. General re- ductions run from 10 to 50 per cent On small packages carried more than 200 and less than 5000 miles, charges are lower than parcel post service; beyond 5000 miles. same as parcel post rates.
 On all articles of food and drink 75 per cent of tirSt-claSs rates are or dered. to reduce the high cost of living"
 Indemnity to shippers of s50 on every parcel under 100 pounds Is re- Quired.
 Instead of 5000, 900, 900 different rates, the country is divided into 650- 900 rate zones.
 Rates must not be higher in one di rection than the other between any two points
 Companies declared reductions would cripple their business. At first alleged loss of revenue would be 30 per cent. Now fix it at 1533.

The Prescott daily news., 1913-08-05

The most important change pre- scribed by the order is by way of modification of the present graduated scale of parcel rates. One hundred pound rates for short distances either have been left unchanged or slightly reduced; for longer distances they have been lowered; for 50 pounds or less all rates practically have been reduced For packages more than four pounds going more than 200 miles and less than 2,000 the new eX- press rates are generally lower than the parcel post rates; for more than 5000 miles the rates are practically the same.

of cavalry arrived at Wheatland and lave taken control of the situation.
 Four men, including District Attor- ney E. T. Manwell. were killed in a pitched battle between the authorities and the striking hoppickers at the Durst yards.
 Six others were wounded seriously and are expected to die. The situation is extremely critical, and it is under stood 50 auto loads of citizens from surrounding towns are being collected to go to Wheatland to oppose the strikers. All available deputies and police of nearby points were asked to hurry to Wheatland to aid in preserv- ing order.
 In addition to the district attorney, those killed in the battle were:
 Deputy Sheriff F. Manwell and two unidentified hop pickers.
 Wounded seriously:
 Sheriff G. H. Voss, shot in head and leg.
 Nels Nelson, wealthy farmer, arm shot away.

2o-Pound Limit on Parcel Post.


 Washington, Aug. 5.-Further to popularize the parcel post system, stmaster-General Burleson has an. nounced that after August 15 the weight limit on packages would be placed at 20 pounds Git now is II pound9), and that a sharp reduction in charges for transportation would be made. He announced that on the same date the banking by mail" fea- ture would be introduced into the postal savings system.
 The reduction in charges for local delivery Is from the present rate of 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound to cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two pounds or frac. tion thereof.
 For delivery in the first zone the rate will be reduced from cents for the first and cents for each addi- tional pound to 5 cents and 1 cent: for the second zone the rate will be cut from 6 cents and cents to , cents and l cent for each additional pound
 The change in the postal saving system will enable would-be deposi- tors in remote districts to avail them selves of the benefits of the system.

Affirms Lanes Findlnqs.

The report and order of the com John H. Marble are a virtual affirma- tion of the findings of former Com missioner Franklin K Lane, now sec retary of the interior
 By prescribing a so-called block system, dividing the United States into $50 blocks, averaging 2,500 square miles as originally proposed by Lane, 900,O00,000 different rates now published by the express com panies will be reduced to less than 650,000, and the interstate commerce commission believes that the system points the way to a solution of the ex- isting maze of freight rates.
 The general impression in official quarters is that the express com panies will attempt to test by legal means the constitutionality of the commissions order
 The requirement. of the order. of June 8, 1912, that a label shall be at tached to each parcel is modified to the extent that in case of shipments of perishable property, consisting of two or more packages, the label need be attached to only one package.
 The express companies had filed statements indicating that the losses of revenue under the proposed rates would be intolerable and argued strenuously that the establishment of the parcel post had deprived them of quite 30 per cent of the revenue they formerly received from parcels of II pounds or less.
 They contended that the express business could not survive the losses from both sources

Meanwhile, the Lady Elise had re-
paired to the palace; prey to haras-
sing doubts her fathers words had
failed to remove, she listened to those
sounds of the strife she no longer saw.
But that she wished to obey her father
unquestioningly now-at, perhaps, a
supreme moment for both Of them!-
she could not have remained where
she was. Never had the palace looked
SO blank and deserted; she rang her
bell; no one answered. The servants
had apparently all left-gone, it might
be, to look down on and behold this
guerre la mort waged near the gates.
Or, perhaps, had they all, except the
old nurse, fed from the palace, never
to return?
AS she asked herself these questions,
in the distance the noise Of the con-
fiict grew louder; the shouts Of the
people more distinct, nearer! With
a sudden premonition of disaster close
at hand, the desire to see what was
happening-to know the worst-seized
her. No longer could she remain in
her apartments; she must return to
the ramparts-to her father; and then
ifNneed be- The thought drove some
of the color from her cheek, but in a
moment her braver instincts spoke !;
there awoke within her the courage
and spirit of her Norman ancestry.
Pale, yet determined, she hastened
down the long, dimly lighted corridor,
and was nearing the door leading to
the street when 1t suddenly opened
and a man, tall and dark, showing in
his appearance many signs of the fray
stepped in. At sight of her quick

THE TREATING HABIT.

A step in advance in the regulation
Of the saloons Of Boston has been
scored by the licensing board in its
attitude toward the practice, so prev
alent in these places, Of treating their
customers. The order Is tactfully
phrased. Proprietors are requested"
to forbid their bartenders to serve
any kind of drinks without receiving
payment therefor. 1t is doubtless un-
derstood that IL this request is not
complied with the consequences will
not be pleasant In the long run for
those ignoring it 1t follows the ban
upon giving presents" of bottled
goods and other favors to patrons at
Christmas time or on other special
occasions, says the Boston Transcript.
The bait of treating has doubtless
convinced the board, as it has the
public, that 1t Is demoralizing Gus
tom. It is to encourage trade, and
proprietors not only generally permit
It, but are themselves as often the
principal offenders by setting the e1-
ample. The undeclared meaning of II
is that that 1t implies an obligation
upon the person or persons treated
to continue and perhaps increase their
patronage, otherwise they are not
good fellows" So, for that matter
is the entire treating habit. 1t is that
which has made what is called hush
ing" a form OF excessive indulgence
that Is very rare In the countries OF
the old world.

A man, bearing in his arms the mo-
tionless form of a woman, paused later
that night in the shadow of low
stone hovel, near the lower gate of
the Mount. AS he crouched beneath
the thatch projecting like the rim of
an old hat above him his eyes, eager,
fierce, studied the distance he had yet
to traverse from the end of the mar
row alley, where he had stopped, to
the open entrance at the base of the
rock to the sands. The goal was not
far; but few moments would have
sufficed to reach it; only between him
and the point he had so long been
striving to attain, an obstacle, or group
of obstacles, intervened. Before a

purely German substitutes are to be
