coastwise vessels, may be put into
effect at the same tiTnes II ship own
ers desire. These rates, granted by
the shipping board yesterday, may
be held up, however, until January

It was estimated by competent Of
ficials that the new railroad freight
rates will cost the nation $4100, 900
per day. which will be reflected in the
prices of commodities
The new passenger rates which are
an increase of 20 per cent, will bring
to the railroads about $2O,000,000 a
month and will be paid directly at
least by the more than 100, 900. 900
persons who ride on the roads each
month, according to latest figures
available at the interstate commerce
commission. Many of these passen-

A Baby Octopus
Only Feet Long
WouO IN Topeka

It is somewhat unusual 10 see an
octopus Ill a prohibition state like
Kansas. but there is one on display
in the window of Rabe Brothers meat
market, 10 East Sixth street. 1t IS
a baby" measuring only about nine
feet from tip to tip. but 1t impresses
one with the unpleasantness of meet
ing such an undesirable creature while
in bathing
This particular specimen was caught
in halibut nets by fishermen from
Seattle. It had drifted north with the
warm japanese current to the coast
Of Washington Several of the ami
mails were being shipped to SPRING
field, Mo. and Oklahoma for sale to
Chinese, who greatly prize them as
a food. and thru an acquaintance with
the shipper Rabe Brothers procured
this animal. It is dead and was packed
in ice.
The tentacles Of this octopus meas
ure about four feet in length and are
lined on the under side with suck
ers." or peculiar vacuum cup thru
which the creature is said to suck its
food. A large octopus can easily over
power man and carry him to the
bottom There IS little chance OF
escape once the numerous tentacles
close about him.
