A Plan Surrsrested That Is Expected to
Put au End to Bate Ware
Tie Chicotro and Alton May Initiate the Two
CentKate War An Enzlnaers superstition
Iowa Joint BatesGeneral and
Local News
Rate wars especially freight ones do
no Rood to any one in the Ions run and
the sooner some scheme is devised by
which they can be avoided the better It
will be not only tor the railroads but
the commercial world as well The fre
quent fluctuations In freight rates un
settle mercantile business as well as rail
road business and it is unnecessary to
stato that unsettled conditions in no
matter what business is bad for it The
publio wants more than anything elso
fairuniform nnd steady rates rates that
cun be relied on as bolnir the same to
daytomorrow and for all time to come
f uoh a stato of things would enable the
roads to make reasonable calcula
tions as to earnings and they
could regulato expenses accordingly
and the merchant would be enabled to
day to calculate on what his freight bill
next month would be on so much freight
L nder the present condition of things
rate wars being liable to breakout at any
timo uo such calculations can be made
nnd as to the future all things are uncer
tain
A plan hns been suggested and it
seems to be a good one to form an oper
ating compauy to receive all freight at
given points nnd distributing it to the
railroads giving to each a fair propor
tion and by so doing preserve the rates
by keeping down the wars which have
been playing bavoo over since railroad
competition begun This Is no visionary
idea but it is quite practicable and it is
to be hoped that for both the railroads
and the publio something will oome out
of It
AN ENGINEERS SUPERSTITION
lie Helteves Engines Take rita nnd Go Out
on Hurrahs Like Human
A party of railroad men one of the
number an engineer were talking yes
terday about the runaway engine that
collided with a freight train noar Hodge
the evening before Various theories
were advanced as to how the engine got
owny no two of wbloh agreed One
would insist that some person pulled the
throttle while the engine stood in the
ynrds and she just shot out lickaty
brludle another suggested that the
tteum had forced the throttle back and
let her go gallasber
You ure all wrong said the en
gineer that engine is a crank and I
will bet on it Engines are queer con
cerns nnd sometimes I believe the things
ure half human I used to run an en
gine that had fits and spells Some
times she would go along as nice ns you
ever saw and then again she would get
into a tantrum and the devil himself
couldnt do a thing with her until she
took it into her head to behave herself
I could always tell when she was going
to get ugly She woula begin to kinder
groan at first then wheeze At last the
fetched thing would begin to snort
nnd slip wheels until I would
just have to shut off steam and
stop My fireman used to talk
to the machine just like bo would to a
child and after awhilo I would make an
other trial and we could go ahead all
N O K
KYes
Yes sir tbnt runaway engine on the
Denver is one of these cranky concerns
that there U no accounting lor Why
r SZs X fertfis kt
she U liable to take fits like this nt any
time if she Is ever fixed up and 1 would
not be surprised to hear of the machinery
jumping off a bridge ony day You just
take the number of the engine and keep
tub on her will you and I will bet you
will hear something more about her in
tbo year The thing just got into a
tantrum and ran off thats all
THK TWO CENT HATE
It is Probnble that the Chicago nnd Alton
vflll Initiate tlio Iteforrn
Notwithstanding railroad men claim
that all is quiet In passenger circles and
that the whitewinged angel of peace
hovers over the situation it is a faot
that this is not so It may be thot nil
appears to be quiet and that to the out
side world there are no evidences of dis
turbance but there is a spirit at work
that may at once develop Into a regular
revolution of passenger rates in this
country Tbo question of a uniform
rate of two cents per mile has been dis
cussed for some time and it Is not at all
improbable that such a rate will be made
before a great while It is even re
ported now that the Chicago and Alton
road is on the eve of mnkinc the rate
a regular passenger rate of two cents a
mile on all classes of travel The recent
order making party rates for ten or
more persons will bring It on some pas
senger men claim and it may be that
the Alton will take the first step
In the movement Some railroad men
claim that tho party rate plan will
mean the nbsolute demoralization of
passenger affairs on nccount of the
operation of scalpers who can under the
new party rate scheme buy tickets m
blooks of ten or twelve and peddle them
out at will
The Alton Is a leading Western road
with au aggressive management and it
is regarded that It is more liable to take
the stops suggested herein than any
other line Mr James Charlton the
general passenger agent of the road has
been approached on the subject but has
refused to commit himself though it is
known that he favors the policy of a
gensral reduction of passenger rates
When n road like the Alton makes a
two cent passenger rato in Missouri
other lines will follow it up like so many
sheep Recently the Wyandotte and
Northwestern not an influential line
made a two cent rate in Kansas and Ne
briUka and as a result nearly every line
in the Sunflower state was on pins and
needles for two or three mouths in fear of
n general order from the Kansas legisla
ture based on the theory that If one road
can make money at two cents a mile oil
of them can do It The Wynndotte
spoiled the arcument however by going
into the hands of a receiver soon after
the low rate was put on
IOWA JOINT KATES
Railroads Will Resist itho Enforcement of
Them In the Courts
The Iowa railroad commissioners are
preparing for another tussle with the
railroads of the state in tho courts
This is caused by a firm determination on
the part of the commissioners to give the
people of the state joint rates and the
equally Arm determination on the part of
a number of the leading railroads not to
submit to further dictation at the hands
of the commission In response to wbnt
was deemed a publio demand the last
legislature passed a law establishing joint
rates The railroads resist enforcement
of the law on the ground of unconstitu
tionality and judce Fairall of Iowa City
issued a permanent Injunction restrain
ing the commissioners from attempting
to enforce it pending an nppeal to the
supreme court The commissioners de
termined to attain the desired end by
another means relying upon the original
railrood law of Iowa which gives the
commissioners the power to make rates
They issued an order August 1 establish
ing what they wore pleased to term rates
for a continuous haul over two or more
roads This order was to go into effect
August 15 Ouly about half of the Iowa
railroads have signified their intention of
complying with the commissioners re
quest nnd AttorneyGeneral Stone baa
been instructed to commence mandamus
proceedings to compel the adoption of
the joint rate rule against the folloving
roads The Iowa Central Chicago
Rock Islaud and Paoitic Chicago and
Northwestern Chicago Milwaukee and
St Paul nnd the Chicago Burlington
nnd Quincy The suits will be vigor
ously pressed
The Aransns lnss fleeting
A meeting of first mortgage bond
holders of the San Antonio and Aransas
Pass railroad was held in New York on
the 8th to consider what action should be
taken to protect their interests in view
of the recent default of the railway com
pany Little was accomplished E C
M Rand an expert employed by tho
Farmers loan and trust company pre
sented a voluminous report which will
be distributed today among the bond
holders He declares that tho property
possesses a considerable value and ex
presses confidence in lts > prospects Tbo
expenditure of a little money to put the
road in firstclass condition is urged by
Mr Rand The road was built under
n contract by Capt M Kennedy who
was to receive stocks and bonds of the
company in payment It appears that
the contractor has a claim against the
compauy for 52800000 but the man
agers have not passed upon it President
U Lott of the company assured tho
bondholders that the property was in a
better shape than Mr Rand had repre
sentedand finally the meeting adjourned
subjeot to the call of Chairman Sldell
Tilghinnn
A Novel Suit
F n Warner a former looomotive
engineer on the Toledo and Ann Arbor
road has brought suit for 121 wages be
claims duo him While Warner was an
employe his engine was wrecked and
the company claims through his care
lessness and bis pay was withheld on ac
count of damages The road through
its attorneys filed countersuit ngainst
Warner for S300 the expense of repair
ing the locomotive The company bases
its aotion on a decision of an Indiana
judge where a counter Judgment was
given tho railroad company against a
farmer who sued the company for killing
one of his oows In thiscase the railroad
company claimed S30 damages to the
pilot and headlight of the engine on ao
count of the accident and the court sus
tained the claim
No Progress
There has been absolutely nothing done
in the Fort Worth and Albuquerque road
thu week There still exists that inclina
tion on the part of everybody to hold
back and give way to somebody else
who so far has not come to the front
The situation can be summed up in a tew
worcbw No progress has been made and
none will be made the way the matter
is being engineered Some of the old
time workers men who have influence
Ji i ba < Skii Xi
must buckle on the harness and push
this matter or the time will soon come
when it will beKaty bar the door
for all timo to come The present effort
to put this enterprise on foot again is
about the last call and unless something
la done the people of Fort Worth might
just as well throw up the sponge so far
as a road to the Northwest is concerned
The Usual Denials
The reported big deals In Southern
railroads which have been discussed for
several days nre now vigorously denied
President Inman of the West Point
terminal company telegraphs that
there is absolutely no truth in the re
ported sco p of he Monon by the East
Tennessee though the report that such a
deal had been perfected grew out of a
statement hy au East Tennessee official
Gen Alexander president of the Central
of Georgia is equally emphatio in deny
ing the report that his road has cbsorbed
the Covington and Macon and the Chat
tanooga Rome and Columbus
A New Source of Revenue
A French railroad has hit upon a new
source of revenue In future people
who accompany any of their friends to
any of the stations on that line to see
them off will only be admitted on the
platform on payment of a fee of one
penny In return for whloh they will re
ceive n special ticket of authorization
For those who are apt to tarry a long
while over their leavetaking there is a
further tax as the ticket is only avail
able for one hour at the end of which
time another must if necessary be ob
tained

D C Plumb Esq Grand Pacific Hotel Chi

Dear Sir Wo are in receipt of your favor of
August 30 addressed to our vicepresident Mr
Dunwoodie also have the sample of wheat
which has been examined carefully by ourwheat
expert and head miller We aro nnable to givo
you a chemical analysis of the wheat but are
unanimous in our opinion as to its being of ex
tra quality for milling purpose It compares
favorably with our No 1 North of the last crop
and would command a good price on our market
Signed Washburn Cros3yCo
Tbe sample of wheat which Mr Plumb
sent to these experts was obtained at
Henrietta and was raised in Clay county
this year It shows conclusively that in
matter of quality as well as quantity tbe
Texas produot is not behind that of the
Treat Northern belt The farm on which
tbe sample was grown averaged about
twentyfour bushels to the acre and was
notunequaled in many sections of the
Panhandle
Mr Plumb stated that the average
wheat yield in the Panhandle would
probably not quite equal that of last
year which averaged from twenty to
twentyfour bushels to th acre This
slight falling off was to be attributed to
the heavy rains early in the season He
also mentioned the fact that the aoreage
would be greatly increased next year
This results from the Increase in tho
population whloh is swelling rapidly
under the steady stream of immigration
that is beading for tbe Panhandle lands
and from the added transportation facil
ities which the Wichita Valley railroad
would afford That enterprise will open
up a large area ot unimproved
land as well as allow established
farmarf to bring larger Balds under oul
tivation The heavy rains which have
recently fallen in that country havepre
pared tbo land for cultivation and al
ready the plows are at work This will
be continued as last year until well on
towards tbe holidays under the influence
of late immigration and an immensely
increased wheat crop may be looked for
next season

Safety from a Festtlentlal Seturge
Protection from the disease not a medicinal
agent which merely checks the paroxysms is
the grand desideratum wherever the endemic
scoarge of malaria prevails Quinine does not
afford this protection The chief reason why
Hostetters Stomach Bitters has won such im
mense popularity is that it prepares the sys
tem to resist the malarial pest This it does by
bracing and toning the physical organism reg
ulating and promoting an equal flow and dis
tribution ot the animal fluids and establishing
digestion on a sound basis Not only ia fever
and ague prevented bat the worst types of the
disease are conqnered by it Such la the only
couclosion to be draws from the overwhelming
evidence in its favor It ia equally efficacious
