Western rail ways are practically giving away one bait a cent a bushel byputlng in a proportional tariff on grain Bhlp 1 ments from the West which provides for one-hair 'a cent per bushel for elevating charges at Chicago and South Chicago. Thja Rock Island, the Chicago and Alton, and the Atchison .itave given notice of this rate. It is effective" dn "the kocr island today, on the Alton the 18 th. and Atchison on the 25th. The Rock Island has done even more than the other lines, making the elevating charges apply to ship ments originating' or6r all Its sys tem. This reduction is of little or no . benefit to the small shipper of grain who sendaUa a Few cars to be sold locally, but It Is an Important factor to the big shipper who loads grain in the West and forwards it to the East, through Chicago, to be loaded into lake steamers for Eastern and sea board markets. ng <tf Cotton Crop - New Orleans, ka^Jlept. 13. ?

An instpjit reflection will convince any thought ful man that, whether the crop so marketed be 1 arge or small, and ?whether a hundred planters or a hun dred thousand employ the method, the result will be better than if the ? crop was sold at once or the attempt made to hold It all. -If tho plan Is good for one planter it Is good for all .and If all, or 'any great number qf-piaiiuii'g tfiiuuT rr. inyprmnaffl m "" marketing the crop Is solved " 257 Votes Will Carry Election There are 512 citizens who have reentered in order to" vote tomorrow upon the-'questlon of the city issuing bonds to (he amount of 125.000 for ?*e Improvement of to*-, street*; ?
