In ad dition to three or four of the usual character, thirty-seven complaints were filed with the commission in one class of cases, the greatest num ber ever presented in one day In the history of the commission. The thirty-seven complaints de veloped from one case recently de cided by the supreme court of the United States. The case grew out of a complaint filed several years ago by the National Yellow Pine Association against a large number of railroad lines in the southeastern territory of the United States. It was alleged that the railroads .were exacting excessive rates on shipments of yellow pine to various points of the country. The cage was_heard by the commission cry exhaustively and In a decision which was handed down by Commis sioner Clements, the contention of the complainants was upheld, and the railroads were ordered to reduce their ates. The railroads carried the case to the courts and it finally reached the supreme court b fthe United States. In a decision handed down a few weeks ago, that tribunal held in effect that the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission was just and reasonable and that It must be re spected and enforced. Following this decision, individuals and corporations engaged in the yel low pine lumber industry in the south and southeast have instituted com plaints before the Interstate Com merce Commission against practically all of the railroad lines In the south eastern territory demanding repara tion for the amounts paid by them to tho railroads in the excessive freight charges. While thirty-seven of these com plaints were filed today It is expected that many more will be submitted to the commission «In a few days. The amounts of reparation in the thirty- seven complaints vary from a few hundred to many thousands ot dollars and aggregate S4S6.230. been raised to 20 cents hocaute of the new $2,000 license, and that amount was too much to spend on a stranger, he thought. His refusal was a deadly insult. Mary Jane remembered tha: during the last stay on the gang she had picked up a fresh hatch of profan ity and she lifted the lid.

Licking postage stamps Is a common practice. Illness traceable to this cause is rare, but it does sometimes occur, says a physician. But aside from the disease-germ theory of ab staining from this practice, it is not cleanly nor necessary. It 1? easier and safer to lick the en velope. or moisten the corner of it with the finger tips and water, and then ap ply the stamp. A wet handkerchief will dampen the envelope sufficient to make the stamp adhere. While great care is taken in prepar ing the mucilage that is put upon postage stamps, it is impossible to Irt- sure the perfect health of the persons who handle them. An employe with an inoculable disease might spread his ill condition through a whole country. MACONITES WILL ATTEND GOVERNOR’S INAUGUATION. A party of Maconites under the di rection of Mr. H. L.
