Barley, Bread and Beer ft") w. 1 IK These three words are derived from the same Anglo Saxon root?breowan. All three are foods. Barley, a grain that makes both bread and beer. Bread, a solid food. Beer, a liquid food. In making bread, flour and yeast are used; in making beer, barley-malt, hops and yeast are used. The same principle is in each?both are wholesome foods. In Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer the Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process matures the malt slowly and uniformly, thus transforming every particle of nutriment in the barley into perfect food substances. To these are added the invigo rating properties of the choicest hops, by the Pabst brewing process, which insures absolute purity. Your systepi re quires a liquid.

Price 10c For Sale and Guaranteed by Henry Evans, Affleck s Druj Store and Piopie'i Pfcarnic/ Am ah My Excellent Stock of flair Goads Greatly Reduced. $3.500 feet long, fifty-eight feet beam, thirty-two feet deep and have thirty-four hatches for loading and un loading. Everything is done by ma chinery. which has been invented and come into use within the last three or four years. Their crews consist of be tween thirty and forty machinists and firemen. There are no sailors on the i lakes today. Capt. McDougall says. They can load with ore or coal in from three to four hours and can be unloaded In from seven to twelve hours. These are the limit of draught and di mensions that can lie operated upon the lakes until tlie channels are deepened, which, Capt. McDougall thinks, must be done within the present generation to | meet the demands of commerce. First Iron Ships in 1871. "The first fleet of iron ships upon the lakes was launched at Buffalo in 1.S71 for the Anchor I.ine," continued Capt. Mc Dougall. "They were called the China, Japan and India and cost $18<>,'i-io cacli? the most complete, stanch and expen sive freight and passenger carriers that had ever been seen upon the lakes up t~0 that time. They carried about tifty pas sengers in comfortable and what were then considered luxurious staterooms, and about 1,200 tons of cargo. I com manded the Japan for many years. "These ships did not pay. The depres sion caused by the panic of 1S7:4 was so great that they couldn't make a living fur several years, but the business picked up in lh":? and the development lias been verv rapid ever since. '"fhe next step In the evolution of the lake carrier was the big wooden steam barge that carried from 1,200 to 1,4'JO tons in her hold and towed a sailing vessel in her wake. They were very useful and profitable, but their construction stopped fifteen years ago,when steel became cheaper than timber. Steel and fresh water agree better than fresh water and oak. and steel construction Is cheaper than timber. Those barges, however, are now obsolete. Most of them have been laid up. Occasionally you see one loaded with lumber. "The wlial-back appeared In IkS'J as a consort originally for those wooden steam barges. It was my invention and 1 built forty-five whaleback steamers and barges here in Duluth, including one passenger ship which was intended for excursion busi ness during the world's fair at Chicago, and carried ],700,1*Hi passengers that year. It has unloaded 5,000 people in five minutes. It Is still running between Chicago and Milwaukee. About twenty whalebacks went to the ocean and carried cargoes along the coast. Three are now carrying coal be tween Baltimore and Tatnpico. They do very well on the ocean. They will outride the heaviest storms. Some of them came back Into the lakes and had to be cut In two and freighted up the St. Lawrence, al though they ran down all right. One whale back was built In England. It Is now run ning on the Danube river carrying wheat. Mr. Rockefeller's Big Purchase. "When the Mesaba mines were discovered the whaleback company had a fifteen years' j contract for carrying the ore and were building new boats at the rate of one a week. They planned to turn out a thou sand whalebacks to carry the ore from these mines, but Mr. Rockefeller, who had become interested In the company, bought up the contracts, the patents and every thing else and laid up the fleet while he was fighting the Carnegie company. This cost him at least $l,000,00o of money, which tie y would have earned if he had con tinued them in business under the contract. ! About forty whalebacks are running now, carrying wheat, ore and coal, and they, too, have had theiP day. "The present style of b'g freight car riers was introduced in 1800 by Cleveland people, and they have been built mostly In that city, with a few at Detroit, Chicago and Bay City. They began at .'I.00O tons, and have gradually worked up to a maxi mum of 13.5U0. and a possible 20.000 If there were water to float them. But. as I have already told you. with the present depth of channels, they have reached their limit. They are the largest exclusive freight carriers in the world, and undoubtedly the most economical. "The lake carrier people have securcd an ai >ropriation fromCongress for a twenty, two-foot channel all the way from Buffalo to Duluth and In many of the most im portant harbors. But It Is not safe to load deeper than eighteen and a half feet. The lakrs fluctuate in depth about a foot. Four Hundred Freighters Operated. "About 400 of these big freighters are now in operation, owned by thirty differ ent companies and several Individuals. The steel trust has a fleet of 101 vessels and barges under the corporate name of the Pittsburg Steamship Company, and four additional boats of the largest size are now under construction. In addition to its own vessels the Pittsburg Steamship Com pany has a large fleet under charter, and is able to handle from ten to twelve mil lion tons of ore during the season of navi To take the sharp edge off an appetite that won't wait for meals?

"Sailing ships have practically disappear ed from the lakes," continued Capt. Mc Dougall. "Some of thein have been made over into barges and are towed with car goes; many have been wrecked and lost; others are permanently laid up as useless. Sailing doesn't pay. It is too slow and too expensive. The sailing ships cannot com pete in freights with modern steamers. Even the insurance, however small, makes a difference in proilt nowadays; every penny counts. The lake freighters carry cargoes at a less cost than is paid for the trans portation of merchandise at any other place by any other means in the world. The rate per ton-mile on coal, ore, wheat and other natural products is almost infinitesi mal; you have to make your calculations in decimals of mills. It will cost you more to send your trunk from the dock to the hotel than to 1" "ing it from Buffalo to Du'.uth, and! in comparison with railroad rates, which have also been decreasing annually for many years, and are now down about to the bottom, the lake rates are merely frac tions. The expenditure of government money in the improvement of lake chan nels and harbors has been very large. I cannot tell you offhand how much; you can got the figures from the engineer depart ment of the army, but the saving In freight rates to the people of the United States represents an even larger sum every year. The minimum will not be reached, how ever, until the channels in the Detroit and St. Mary's rivers have been deepened. The deeper the water, the larger the ships; the larger the cargoes, the cheaper the cost of transportation and the lower the rates. . Thirty Trips Instead of Eight. "One of the modern steamers is expected to make thirty round trips between Duluth and the ports of I.ake Erie every season of navigation. The old sailing ships thought they did very well if they made eight voy ages, and then they had to be towed a con siderable part of the way. "The Increase in traffic has not been con fined to coal and iron," continued Capt. McDougall. "Enormous quantities of mer chandise are carried by these ships. "Last year more than 6,000,000 barrels of flour were carried through the Boo canal, and as many as 0.000,000 barrels have been carried annually during the last ten years. Last year nearly half a million barrels of salt were reported,and the average for sev eral years has been as high as 400,000. I.ast year more than a million tons of gen eral merchandise were reported as passing through the Soo, and various other kinds of freight are included In tho total besides raw material, like wheat, coal and iron ore, although the latter are, of course, the prin cipal cargoes. These figures are very large, but I believe that the lake transportation business is still in its infancy." FIERCE BUSH AT CORNELL. Freshmen and Sophomores Meet in Sharp Encounter. ITHACA, September 27.?One of the fiercest rushes that Cornell men have seen in ten years was held on the hill late Wednesday night, when SOO underclassmen met in three sharp clashes in front of the Heutis street entrance to the campus. There were more than 500 freshmen in line and the sophomores numbered SOO. After considerable maneuvering and skir mishing the classes came together in a fierce encounter. The first two rushes were unsatisfactory, as the men became sepa rated. The third contest, however, was a fierce and bloody mixup. The freshmen poured down the Incline leading across the bridge and were met by the sophomores at the entrance. Scores on scores of men in the front ranks tumbled together in a great mass of kicking, squirming and scrapping humanity. The lights at the gate were darkened and this added to the intensity of the fray. Nothing but the sto'ie wall over the bridge and an iron rail alongside of the bank stopped many men from falling over the gorge into the creek below, a sheer drop of 150 feet. As the freshmen pushed their way across the bridge the mass was spread out, and several men were thrown against the Iron fence into the bushes which fringed the gorge. Ten or a dozen contestants were taken out of line during the fray, some of them badly hurt. They were rushed to the Sheldon court dormitory or nearby houses and a few were takf-n to the In firmary. Physicians were summoned from town to aid the wounded, and upper class men rescued many from under the pile of students. Among those who received medical treat ment were Charles 8. Baker, a sophomore, who suffered severe bodily injuries re ceived from kicking; Walter Kane, a fresh man, who was banged across the head and suffered from a semi-concussion of the brain, and O. F. Tyson, who was badly cut about the head. Severe condemnation is heard over the selection of the battleground. Indiscrim inate rushing is forbidden by the faculty, but it is customary to pull off at least one before college opens. The freshmen won the rush. WALL STREET STRIKE EVADED. Telegraphers for Brokers Leave the Matter to Committee. NEW YORK, September 27.?The Wall street chapel of the Commercial Telegraph ers' Union met last night at the Manhattan Lyceum, 66 East 4th street, to act on the resolutions calling for a strike of all oper ators on leased wires passed at a meeting of Local No. 16 Wednesday. Daniel L. Russell, Fercy Thomas and other strike leaders made strong pleas for the strike. After a long debate resolutions were car ried placing the question of ordering the strike in Hie hands of the executive com mitte of the chapel. The resolutions said that if it became necessary to call the strike to win the tight of the general teleg raphers Wall street chapel would favor the strike. THE HEARST PLAN. National Conference Today, State Con vention Tomorrow. NEW YORK, September 27.?The head quarters of the Independence League, In the Gllsey House, were thronged last night with delegates from all parts of the state who are to attend the state convention of the league Saturday and of representatives from about a dozen states who are to take part in a conference to be held today to consider plans for making the Independence League a national organization. This conference 1b to be held In one of the small meeting halls of Carnegie Music Hall and will be presided over by William It. Hearst. Plans will be considered at the meeting for the forming of a branch or ganization of the Independence League in every state and for the mapping out of a program which will make the league, as one of Mr. Hearst's men described it last night, "a factor which will have to be reckoned with next year." This spokesman added that the league's national move ment did not mean that there was any scheme afoot to bring forward Mr. Hearst as a candidate for the presidency and that he was authorized to say that Mr. Hearst would not sanction the use of hla name as a candidate for any office. The state convention of the Independence League for the nomination of two candi dates for Judges of the court of appeals will he convened at noon tomorrow in Carnegie llali and adjourn until 8 o'clock at night. There will be a parade of the delegates, with bands and the burning of red Are, from Madison Square to Carnegie Hall. Mr. Hearst will be the chairman of the conven tion, and will make a long speech to the delegates, and Reuben Robie Lyon of Steuben county, N. Y., will be the vice chairman. Mr. Hearst's representatives said last night that the convention will decide to nominate independence candidates of its own for the court of appeals and will also pass resolutions urging the county and city organizations of the league to put inde pendence tickets In the field and to ignore any advances which Tammany or any other organization may make for the league's support. SHUT OUT HONOLULU JAPS. Canadians Find Way Round Treaty to Check Immigration. OTTAWA, Ont., September 27.?T!ie Do minion immigration agent. I)r. Monroe of Vancouver, has notified all steamship and transportation companies that no Japanese will be admitted to Canada unless they carry passports made out specifically to Canada. This stops the dumping of Jap anese into British Columbia from the Ha waiian Islands. This is the solution which the Dominion government ha i in mind when it decided to try to restrict Japanese immi gration to Canada. It was stated soon after the influx began from Honolulu that tiiose Japanese having left the jurisdiction of the mikado's govern ment that government had no further con trol over them, but the Japanese officials still contended that the terms of the treaty ratified by the Canadian parliament this year overrode any previous agreement in regard to immigration. High legal opinion in tills country has, however, come to the conclusion that the exclusion of Japanese unless they came from Japan direct would In no way Interfere with the treaty. Col.
