RAILROAD FREIGHT BATES.
DEC. 16-19
Armory Auditorium Will House It and
Judge O. O. Hinds, of Oa&and,
Cal, Will Bo Judge.
II
THERE ARE RUMORS in Washington that the reorganized interstate com
merce commission will adopt a more liberal policy toward the railroads
than has been shown in the past, and that there is a fair prospect that
the increaose in freight rates now under consideration, will be allowed.
At this time tho commission is practically in process of reorganization.
One vacancy was caused by the death of Mr. Marble; another by Mr. Prouty's
transfer to bead the body that is making a physical valuation of the railroads
and Mr. ClemontB' torm is soon to expire. The president is being urged to ex
pedite this reorganization in order to give the findings a bettor standing be
fore the country. Of course, tho attitudo of the four members remaining on
tho commission cannot be known, and thero is littlo on which to base an opin
ion of tho three men yet to bo appointed. Thus, as the result, after the hear
ings, will depend largely on tho judicial attitudo of all these men, any attempt
at this time to forecast the outcome of their deliberations would be wholly
futilo.
The railroads appear to be confident that they have a convincing case to
present, and it ..is understood that special effort will bo mado to havo their em
ployes take such action as will unequivocally support their contentions. There
has undoubtedly boon a considerable chango of sentiment in tho commercial or
ganizations of the country favoring moderate concessions to tho railroads.
Again, the railroad insist that the increases are an absoluto necessity, and
that if thoy are not allowed tho carriers will be forced to make retrenchments
that will prove injurious to tho service. Probably this was tho most persistont
argumont offered at tho previous hearing. The railroads dwelt on it at length
and somo of their presidents predicted diro results if tho commission did not
consent to an incrcaoso of ratos. Tho most gratifying result of tho wholo
trugglo was a realization by tho mil roads that moro efficient management
was necessary to thair existence, and since that time a notublo Improvement
ho boon brought about.
Now, it may bo that tho time has coino when an increnso of freight rates is
justified, and if so, thoro should bo no hesitation in granting it. Hut it is evi
dent that it will not do to accept without question tho carriers' story of their
needs, or to agree, without careful consideration, as to tho effect on tho future
in cttso tho rates Incroiiso is refused. Hoiso, Idaho, Capital News.

NE OF THE MOST SOUL-HARROWING things In life is bashfulnoss.
A It is oiio of tho most prominent characteristics of the old man who writes
If M these few sad lines, and whoso lifo has been mado one continuous round

ing diffidence. One after another things come about that keep him In a
nerve-wracked condition. Just now It is tho latest style of dress assumed by
the won.cn. lie never goes ou the street but that ho fears tho exported, will
hapiien, and that, too, where ho would, as it were, bo a party to it, for ho feels
tliut it yet is sure to happen, uud that is, that sometime, somewhere, some of
tho belaying plus, halyards and tho other unknown things that hold tho gar

slip a cog nr something, ami let the garments do what they are appurortly try

ami helpless way from a hook or soinnlhlng concealed under a sort of sack
that hangs from tlio shoulders as gracefully as a nightgown on a nail and acts
as though it, too, wanted to retire from business, go off to some solitude and
commune wild nature unadorned. Well, the fashions will change in time, and
this danger will bo over, but what will take its place! That is already getting
on tho old man's nerves. Let us hope that whatever it is, it will not make our

Try Cascarets; they immediately
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,

the liver and carry off the constipated

BRUTAL TREATMENT OP
A NOTED ASSASSIN
The sheriffs seeking o rapture Ralph
Lopes, in I'tah, decided on Sunday to
button the mine entrance and then kill
tho denK'rndo with poisonous gas,
Now, that is no way to treut a dis
tinguished assassin In this enlightened
age. To bo sure Lopor. has slain four
men and one woman, but there are ex
tenuating circumstances. Tho woman
made him angry, Ami at'lor he hud shot
her, tlio men insisted upon following

lie is the creature of environment. Thero
fore society murdered four men aud
one woman, Krgo, society should be
Imprisoned for life sod Lope should
lie treated with tho respectful sympa
thy duo lo his misfortunes,
Ami in spile of this clear logic, here
seven hearth sheriffs resolved to kill
this poor victim of mail's Inhumanity
to hi fclluwinun, just as other brutal
individuals sometimes kill a poor mnd
dog, who Is merely amusing himself by
biting folks. When society has been
properly reorganised by tho gentler sex
of both genders, gentlemen assassins
will not bo subjected lo such inhuman
treatment. Hut at present tho public
intelligent1!) is not yet prepared to treat
criminals with tho high consideration
they deserve.
In fact, most pooplo will actually ap
plaud tho Utah sheriffs fur putting an
end to Mr, Lopes with any menus han
dy. Tho old fashioned notion that a ruth
less, savage, murderous beast in human
shape ought to be shot down, ns a mnd
dog is shot down, is still prevalent
among plain every day Americans, who
know nothing of tho higher thought, and

THROW AWAY YOUR
EYEGLASSES
A rREB PRESCRIPTION.
You Can Have Fined and Use at Home,
Do you wear glasses t Are you a vie-
tlm of eyestrain or othor eye-woaknoBsl
If so, you will be glad to know that
there Is real hope for you. Mnny whose
eyes woro falliug say thoy have had
their eyes restored through the princi
ple of this wonderful free proscription.
One man says after trying it: "I was
almost blind; could not sco to read at
all, Now I can rend everything with
out any glasses and my eyes do not wa
ter any moro. At night they would
pniu dreadfully ; now they fool fine all
tho time. It was like a miracle to me."
A lady who used it says: "The atmos
phere seemed har.y with or without
glasses, but after using this prescription
for fifteen days, everything seems clear.
I can evea read fine print without
glasses." It is believed that thousands
who wear glasses can now discard then
in a reasonable time and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen their
eyes so as to be spared the trouble as
expense of ever getting glasses. Eye
troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following th
simple rule. Here Is the prescription:
Go lo any active drug store and get a
bottle of Oploua, fill a two ounce bot
tle with warm water, drop in one Op
tons tablet, and allow to dissolve. With
this liipiid bathe the eyes two to four
times daily. You should notice your
eyes clear up perceptibly right from the
tart and inflammation will quickly dis
appear. It your eyes are bothering you
even a little take steps to save them
now before It Is too late. Many hope
lessly blind might have bee saved If
