ROAD TURNED
DOWN ON STOCK
RATE INCREASE

Washington, Dec. 4.-Applications
for increased rates on livestock In
less than carloads, west of the Mis-.
sippi river were denied today by the
interstate commerce commission, but
permission was given to make new
minimum rulings which would result
in small increases.
The increases allowed would amount
to an average Of Is per cent and
apply mainly to shipments of breed
ing animals. The commission also
ordered eastern railroads to cancel
proposed rates, providing charges on
ordinary live stock, dependent upon
value.
Increases in freight rates on iron
and steel articles ranging as high as
40 per cent were allowed to western
railroads today by the interstate COM
merce commission. The increases.
however, were not SO great as the
railroads asked.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Sunday, Dec 2.-Heavy firing
has occurred on the northern line in
the last "a hours in the different Sec

the Brenta and Piave rivers, and on
Meletta range running west Of the
Brenta. Each Of the opposing forces
holds part of these positions.
The general conditions along the
entire Italian front have improved
dlstlnctly in the last week. North.
eastern Italy is now enclosed within
a powerful barrier on the north and

I8E::hAvE CHARGE:
Of LAST RITES
No Definite Announcement can be
Made Today as to Date Of
Treacy Funeral
SON WILL REACH CHICAGO
SOME TIME THIS EVENING

bismarck MasOns will have charge
of the last rites for their late brother,
DIR. Il. Fl. Treacy, whose remains
now lie at the Marine hospital in Chi
cago, awaiting the arrival of Lieut..
Richard H. Treacy, a son, who should
reach his destination early this even
ing. The return Journey probably
cannot be commenced tonight, and 1t
is doubtful whether the remains can
reach Bismarck earlier than Thurs
day noon.
Miss Dorothy Treacy, daughter OF
the deceased, arrived at noon today
from Minneapolis, whether she had
gone Sunday to resume Aer studies
at the University of Minnesota after
spending the Thanksgiving holidays
at home, and Mrs. William Treacy OF
Montana and Mrs. Carl TOmlinson of
Boston, Mass, sister-in-law and niece
of the deceased, who were en- route
east, stopped off this morning on
learning of their bereavement.
Within thirty minutes alter the re,
ceipt of a telegram announcing the
serious ILLNESS of DR.. r.. H. Treacy
at the Marine hospital in Chicago a
message came Monday evening advis-
ing of his death. Both wires were
brief, and no details were given.
DR.. Treacy had gone to Chicago last
week with DR.. W. H. Crewe, secretary
of the North Dakota livestock board,
and other prominent livestock men of
the northwest to attend the lnterna-
tional stock show. He had been In
Door health for some time, and his
family was planning to join him in
Chicago at the close of the exposition
for a winter in the south. His condi-
tion was not such, however. as
lessen the shock of last nights news
to his family and to his legions OF
friends throughout the northwest.
Lieut.. r. H. Treacy, home from Fort
Smelling for a Is days furlough be-
fore reporting for duty with his COM
mand at Camp Custer, Mich, left on
the North Coast limited last night for
Chicago, whence he will accompany
the remains of his father to this city.
DR.. Crewe is expected to return at the
same time, and it is expected that the
party will reach Bismarck on Thurs
day noon or night and that the funer-
al services probably will be held the
following day.
Dean Of His Profession.
DR.. Treacy was dean of animal hus-
bandry men of the northwest. He
was one of Bismarck's older citizens.

bilities in these schools, and it is
predicted that from this small be-
ginning, the schools will soon spread
to the entire state, and that much
will be done to relieve conditions of
illiteracy throughout the state.
One of the most interesting charac-
tiers in the Salvation Army is Com
mandant John Howard, who is again
in charge of the work in Little Rock.
Some of those who have been at the
head of the Salvation Army in Little
Rock and elsewhere have not placed
ii upon a high plane that would APP
peal to the business men OF the COM
munity and enforce heir respect
and support. But John Howard Is
different. He not only looks after
the spiritual and charitable work OF
The community bur he runs the
Army on strictly business basis.
He asks only that degree OF support
which the importance of the work
iustifies, he sees that no obligations
are taken by the Army that cannot
be met. and i'm every way he seeks
to maintain the high standard that
is set by other religious organiza-
tions.
John Howard, grown gray in the
Lords work. was stationed in Little
Rock for four years, leaving here
eight years ago for other fields. lie

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN II
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair good, even color, which is quite
sensible. as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is Of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about so cents bottle.
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your. comb or soft brush with
il and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkering the hair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance OF abundance
which is 80 attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is delightful toilet requisite

pearance II is not intended for the cure,

HE MAKES HAY
New Chief Silent, but Collects
Many Fines.
Police Court Reaps Big Finan-
cial Harvest in August.

Little of the spectacular has been
heard from police headquarters since
Frank S. Harbaugh was appointed
chief of the department by Mayor J.
E. House No "red fire" has been
burned; no window displays censor
ed.
The report of police fines during the
month of August which arrived at the
city hall today showed, however, that
the new chief has not been idle. The
report disclosed the fact that the de-
partment is making one of the most
extensive drives against law violators
in the history of the city, despite the
fact that to all outward appearances
things are quiet.
Fine IA Offenders.
During the last month, the report
shows, LA persons, the largest num-
Der for such a period in years, were
fined during the last thirty-one days.
The total fines reported totalled
$975.S0, and of this amount all were
inflicted during August with the ex-
ception of $3.50, listed as back fines
collected. The amount collected, so
far as could be learned at the city
hall today. is the largest that has ever
been reported for one months collec-
ton of fines since the commission
form of government was inaugurated.
In July fines collected amounted
to only $417.85, less than half the
amount for August. The August
figures, it is shown, were not boosted
by any individual fines that were ex-
ceptionally large; none was higher
than the average and the record num-
Der of persons fined was responsible
for the increase
