He said words alone won t resolve the crisis and urged European powers to avoid forcing peace. Bulgaria sought Russian aid, Serbia and Greece agreed to cease fire under conditions, and Turkey s actions must align with the Enos-Midia line to preserve the European concert. The aim is to protect and maintain the agreement to prevent long, dangerous complications.

Iowa Railroads Get Fair Rate Backed by 1868 Land Grant
A Iowa State Fair board secretary says excursion rates will stand as a long established practice. He cites an 1868 statute granting land to railroads like Rock Island and others, with guarantees of tariff rules and rates and possible forfeiture if not honored. The board notes the law supports current three cent per mile round trip rates during the fair period and asserts railroads have long accepted land under these terms. Additionally the piece mentions a 6000 dollar bond requirement for county supervisors and a deadly weapons law taking effect Independence Day.
