Rock Island First Railroad to Offer Reduced Rates as Business Getter. ACTION NOT ANTICIPATED. PRICES PRICES CREW OF NEBRASKA OUT.
IT WAS BUT RECENTLY THAT - WESTERN PASSENGER ASSOCIATION REFUSED TO CONSIDER SUCH ACTION.
Chicago, July 22. The two-cent Btone-wall passenger rate -which, the Western railroads have maintained even since the state legislatures began whacking at the revenues derived from this branch of the business has (gone to smash. Hereafter reduced rates will be made and will be as low as any Individual sees fit to make it in order to Induce business, control it, or please "constituents." Notice has been given by the Rock Island lines that, if a proposition to grant reduced rates for merchants' meetings, to be held in Chicago or elsewhere, is voted down, independent action wllf be taken by them. It is staled that, after vainly striving with therother roads- to maintain two cents as a minimum-passenger rate in Western territory they have decided that it cannot be done and will, therefore, make a. rate of one and one-half cents for the round trip for merchants' meetings, when, so requested. This decision will apply to Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph, and ' Omaha. The Western Passenger association recently refused to grant such rates. A committee was appointed to consider ways and means- of maintaining two-cents as a minimum passenger rats. This- committee was to have met today, but the meeting was postponed until tomorrow. Now it is difficult to see what necessity exists for meeting.

EASTERN FIRMS ARE FAVORED OVER OTHERS
Alleged Discrimination Shown In Awarding Panama Grocery Contracts.
Indianapolis, July 22. William H. Whitaker, superintendent of the State Reformatory at Jeffersonville, who delivered an address at the annual meeting of the State Bar association of Indiana declared that there should
be a law providing life sentences for habitual criminals.
"If men are so vicious that they de
vote their life to criminal acts they should.be sent to prison, where they
cannot harm society," said Whitaker.
However, I am not in favor of the
death penalty for men who commit murder in the heat of passion and who are not habitual criminals. The average term of service of the life
men in prison is but 15 years.
"There are criminals who should re
ceive life sentences, but who are able
to escape with light punishment because of the present methods of practice in courts. When a person Is arrested for crime his past should be
investigated. If it is found that he has served two or three terms, that should be sufficient evidence that he is an habitual criminal and he should
be sentenced for life. There are 200 inmates of that class In the state prison now who are -serving the shortest
possible sentences that could be given them."
Whitaker urged lawyers and judges
to visit the reformatory and prison at
least once a year to see how the crim
inals are handled. He said that the experience gained In that way would enable them to exercise better Judgment in sentencing persons convicted of crime.
The annual banquet of the association was held at the Country club last night Among the speakers were John Worth Kern, democratic nominee for vice president and James E. Watson, republican nominee for governor. Vice President is one Of the new members admitted to the association at this session. The State Bar association elected the following officers: President Dan W. Sims, Lafayette. Vice-President John T. Dye, Indianapolis. Treasurer Frank E. Gavin; Indianapolis. Secretary George H. Batchelor, Indianapolis.
Washington, D. C, July 22. An investigation of charges that Eastern firms are favored above those in other parts of the country in bidding to supply Panama canal groceries is now being conducted by order of Colonel Goethals, of the canal commission.

"I do not know of any remedy for constipation that equals the pleasurable action of Blackburn's Casca Royal Pills not even castor oil, says a chemist of national reputation.
Memphis, Tenn., July 22. In a des.
perate battle, which lasted 10 minutes, Mrs. Mary E. Forrester, wife of A. T. Forrester, who lives at Buntyn, choked to death a powerful mad dog
which had attacked her.
The dog, a sixty-pound shepherd.
standing two feet high, the pet of the neighborhood, attacked Mrs. Forres
ter, who weighs only 100 pounds, after he had bitten Miss Mamie Ditto, a neighbor, on the ankle. Mrs. Forrester turned upon him as he grasped the hem of her skirt, and, grasping him by a dexterous feint for the head, closed her fingers about his neck and began
to grip.
All over the porch of her home the
woman and dog . fought. . Several times the dog nearly pulled his captor from the porch. But feebler became the canine's struggles as the battle progressed. He grew limp and finally collapsed, falling to the porch
dead.
