the Missouri state board of railway
commission, in regard to passenger
rates.
From St. Louis the commission will

The termini of most of the lines in

are at Chieago, and the final hearing in
some and perhaps till of them may be
tran.-Torred to that city after the eom-
misvhm has afforded everybody in the
several localities convenient opportuni

Chairman Morrison expects that a
