OVERCHARGES MAY
 BE SHOWN TO AGENT
Iron Mounta ain Adopts New Plan Rel ative to Freight Claims. Advis- es that it Will Become Eff
 fective at Once.

T. s. Walton, freight claim agent for
 the Iron Mountain railroad, with head
 quarters at St. Louis, advised mem
 bers of the Arkansas Railroad Com
 mission at meeting yesterday that a new and better system regarding | freight warehouses on the Iron Noun tain will become effective at once.
 The new system will provide that whenever an overchange is found in a freight shipment the person holding the claim may present the paid freight bill to the local freight agent and receive the amount of the over charge upon demand. It was former ly necessary to send the claim to the freight claim agent at St. Louis, Mr. Watson. This sometimes caused de- lay of as much as six months in re- Iceiving the refund. It was also agreed at the meeting yesterday that if the local freight agent should refuse to make the refund the person or per sons holding the claim shall take the matter up with the Railroad Commis- sion.
 At conference yesterday afternoon between members of the Railroad and President J. C. Edsonfreignha Commission and J. B. McDonough and President J. C. Edson of the Kan sas City Southern Railway, an exten- sion of time was granted on the order recently issued by the Railroad Com mission for depot to be built by the railroad at Oliver The extension gives the railroad six months to be- gin the work, was granted on the plea of "hard times" ], B. McDonough is a member of the law firm of Read-M Me Donough Arkansas attorneys for the Kansas City Southern, with headquar- ters at Fort Smith,
 An extension was also requested on the order issued on the Kansas City Southern for a new depot at Siloam Springs, but this was refused. How ever, the members of the commission have decided to meet with the officials of the Kansas City Southern at Siloam Springs within the next 10 days to discuss the matter.

ALTON'S NEW RIVAL
Rome, N. Y, Dispatch to New York
 World

Mystery surrounded the disappear ance of about 50 of the choicest fowls on the poultry farm of George Bagg, at Beaverton, on Oneida Lake. Twen- ty were taken few weeks ago; soon afterward about 20 more disappeared and week ago 10 more joined the missing.
 The poultry house was double pad locked, a home made burglar alarm was employed, and still the poultry seemed to melt away There were no traces of predatory animals, and the superstitious wagged their heads, while MT. Bagg was in despair.
 A few days ago he put in the day hiding in some bushes midway between his poultry yard and the nearby banks of the river which flows into Oneida Lake. As he watched, the mystery was solved. Four unusually large geese from the farm of Frank Binn, across the river, had been fraternizing with the Bagg hens all summer and had been enticing them to leave their home and go over to the other farm.
 The geese were seen solemnly wad- ding down to the water followed by several hens. When the geese stepp- ed into the river a hen would tlutter few feet up and down the bank, and then a squawk would fly or hop on to the back of goose Then, squatting contentedly the fowls were ferried over i to the Binn farm. There Mr. Bagg found his missing fowls, the geese hav- ing carried them all over on their backs.

To Meet Saturday and

PARK IN
FINE SHAPE.
Monday and Tuesday the
Lexington Colts Come
For Two Games.
Batter up. Play Ball"

Saturday afternoon, for the first
time since the late lamented Paris
team of the Blue Grass League played
it's farewell game in organized base
ball here, the old familiar cry of"His
Jumps" will be heard floating across
the diamond at White Park-"Play
! Ball. 1.-THE Paris team of Ohio State
League, formerly the Newport team,
reorganized and rejuvenated by the
addition of new playing material, will
meet the Huntington team and good
game is expected.
A large force of men has been bus
lily engaged all week putting the park
in shape, and Manager Apologize
says that Paris fans" who thought
the park was A No. in the Bluegrass
League days will find that it is in
even better playing condition now
than then. The diamond has been
thoroughly rolled and put in the very
| best condition and the Outfield looks
as trim as a Duncan Avenue lawn.
While no public announcement has
been made as to the arrangements for
| the opening exercises it is said that a
parade of the two teams, headed by
the Paris High School Band from
| their quarters to the ball park will be
one of the features of the day.
ton teams will play the second of the
series, and on Monday and Tuesday
the Paris team will play Lexington,
MOVE apparently intrenched in first
place. AS every "fan" knows the
baseball rivalry between Paris and
Lexington has always been of the
tense order, and there is always some
thing stirring when the two teams
meet. While Paris .fans" have no
line on the present team that will
represent them they will with the old
time enthusiasm, root for the "hOme
Iboys" and vow eternal demnitiOn upon
those who refuse to pull for Paris.
The Paris lineup for the four games
at White Park-Saturday and Sunday
with Huntington Monday and Tues
day with Lexington-will be as fol
lows
Alien, Utrecht, Long, Hart, Hannah
pitchers; Francisco, Thompson, catch
ers; Munson, LIST base (manager) ;
> Hobbs, second base, Daubert, short
stop; Shrimper, third base; Shafer
left field; Sherman, center field;
Cefaula right field.
