TROUBLE BETWEEN CHICAGO LINES IMMINENT Milwaukee Will Materially Cut Down Running Time Between St. Paul and Chi cago and Other Roads Ex pected to Take Retaliatory Action. Although no formal announcement of the fact has yet been made, it is gen erally understood in railroad circles that the Milwaukee will, beginning to morrow, make a most Important change In its time schedule between this "city and Chicago, and as a con sequence a general shake-up among the Chicago roads is anticipated. The plan as it is now understood is to cut an hour and a half from the running time of the evening train now leaving this city at 6 o'clock and ar riving at Chicago at 7 a. m.; and here after the train will depart from St. Paul at -7:30 p. m. and arrive in Chi cago at the same hour as formerly The direct result of this change will be to establish Chicago connections for Duluth trains and a number of oth ers that-reach this city between 6 and <:30 p. m., and the train will be the fastest between this city and Chica go. In making this change the Milwaukee is departing from a sort of tacit agree ment which has obtained among the Chicago roads, whereby an inside limit of twelve hours and fifty-five minutes was fixed by common consent for the running time between this city and Chicago. The prediction is freely made that the action of the Milwaukee in put ting this time schedule into operation will be the signal for retaliatory ac tion on the part of the other Chicago roads, which may extend to general cutting of rates, as has been threaten ed when the Milwaukee or one of the other roads has previously planned a reduction of the running time between St. Paul and Chicago. --•— m — An Observation.

RAILROADS CEASE GIVING PASSES TO SHIPPERS Elkins Law, Which Prohibits Any Road From Granting Free Transportation to Freight Customers, Goes Into Effect and Causes a General Shaking Up. "What! not even transportation for myself to Chicago?" inquired the wholesale merchant yesterday in a lo cal railroad office. He had just been told by the 'agent that there was nothing doing- in ' the '"pass department" any more. "Why," he continued, "even in the tightest times I have never been re fused a favor of that kind for myself before, and hereafter I shall see that my business . goes to roads that are not so chary about granting favors," The man was a member of a firm that is counted of great importance in the mercantile world of .St. Paul, be cause of its large volume of business* and his surprise was natural from the fact that for many years the railroads not only in St. Paul, but in all other cities have made it a practice to ex tend favors in transportation to their larger shippers, until this feature of traffic negotiations has grown to con siderable magnitude, and has been handled in a systematic manner. The agent explained to the merchant that a transfer of his business from TWO ELKS IN THE SHADE. g_#77*l!j. stf ____y •>.. _v<__h___ i3i__P:~'tis --''-•■>■''- 4flr ____ __f^-^__»^__r^7___l B ili__£____________l _?^%.7_ _w T_____i •'"■• _______________■___■ _»!• _r^_S_-_i_-^^-________! _____*^ ____■*■« «______is-5- --4 * HsBH >^^'3_^^vS Is _____________________________H_^i___f *'■ x-*x * ' i__________E-_______________________________________________i SBV- V7S_7_^.-V' -___i___fe. * * F*9"f_H_HMp.H -'ii§_ll^^___i_W3« —.- --. ■ ~-;i--':--■-.'

White Who Di* a Clever Black Face Turn Last Night. >«- $*£;* ... one road to another would make no difference in the situation, as the cause of the stringency was the Elkins law, which affects all railroads alike, and which, by its terms, prohibits any road from granting concessions to shippers in the cost of transportation as an in ducement to patronage. Many of the roads, he explained, would be glad to continue the former practice if the law did not forbid. Law Has Taken Effect. This law, which places many new strictures upon the railroads in "the management of traffic affairs, went in to effect yesterday, and already has caused considerable of a shaking- up, and for a time at least the freight agents will have their troubles magni fied to the maximum. * Among those versed in the science of railroad affairs the new law is rec ognized as a measure that in its oper ation will work to the interest of the larger and stronger roads and corre spondingly to the disadvantage of the weaker lines. The law requires the publication of tariffs and absolute adherence to those tariffs under all circumstances, and roads which have been accustomed to induce patronage by concessions in sales or other favors, will now be pre vented from employing such methods and compelled to stand upon their own merits alone. There is broad scope for speculation as to just how seriously this new con dition will affect some of the roads, and just how much difference it will make to shippers in the annual cost of their freight business. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL WINS THE DEBATE Defeats Benson's Team on Senatorial Election. Question. The debate at the Central high school last night between the crack teams of that school and the Benson (Minn.) high school was attended by a large audience of appreciative listeners. ' The bone of contention was: "Re solved, That the United States senators should be elected by the direct vote of the people." • Those comprising the St. Paul team and defending the affirmative were Paul Ganger, Milton Firestone and Kenneth McMnnnigal. Benson's team consisted of Charles Thornton, Hugh McCune and Wylie Stone. Ten minutes were allowed to the main speeches and five minutes granted each candidate to reply. During the interval permit ted the Judges In whicfino make a de cision, a vocal solo was contributed by Evelyn Dockstader. Messrs. Drake Chase and Churchill, of the University of Minnesota faculty, acted as iudges and rendered a unanimous verdict in favor of the affirmative. *!. ™§ & No Free Puffs.

Much improvement was apparent in the performance of the Elks' minstrels last-evening, although in the opening presentation it was not apparent that there was any. room for improvement.

COFFEE. A Woman-Experiments. Some families have sad experiences with whisky. Probably twk>> ias many families have sickness and distress caused by coffee and the cause not sus pected half the time. A woman from Tacoma, Wash., says: "One of our family had become so ill that the doctor finally pronounced him incurable from enlarged liver. He rec ommended a sea voyage, which might prolong his life, but said it was only a question of time when he would die from the disease. "He was dreadfully nervous, thin, could not sleep at night, lost flesh and strength daily and everything he ate or drank soured on his stomach. He was so weak and faint he could hardly walk about. - "I finally came to the conclusion that coffee made the mischief, so took coffee away from him altogether and next morning gave him Postum Food Coffee. He steadily began to get better and has never had a sour stomach from that time. He now sleeps all night where he used to suffer the agonies of death. He has gained over twenty pounds and is well and strong. "My little boy was given coffee at an early age and he began to have spells of sickness at times. I did not suspect the trouble until my experience with Postum opened my eyes, then I took coffee away from him and gave him Postum steadily. If . you should see him now and see how well and strong he is you would not believe it was the same puny boy he was when he was drinking coffee. > "An acquaintance of ours carried Postum with him to the gold fields of Alaska. He says he met some men up there who had run out of Postum and could not drink- coffee. . They offered him a3 high as twenty, dollars a pound for the: Postum. He said it was wo|th forty dollars a pound to him, for it gave him strength to endure the hard ships and that: he would not part with it at any price.until he could get more. "Now about: my own case. I was a sick, nervous woman and did. not sus pect it was coffee, but from the ex perience I had. gained about two years ago I quit coffee, and took up Postum Food Coffee. My appetite improved. I can eat anything, have no indigestion and have gained about forty. pounds in the two years. '■.:■.-■ "I know of a man whose eyes were so affected by coffee drinking that he was going blind. The doctor suspected coffee to be the trouble and ordered him to quit and take on Postum Food Coffee. The change produced a great change in his eyes. He gradually got better and has now left off his glasses altogether. He would have been stone blind if he 'had not quit . coffee and taken, up Postum." -Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ~yfi-% A^ ' V***N > - Established 1882.

BETTER A LABORER THAN COLLEGE FAILURE "Boys and Girls Unfitted for Higher Education Should Eschew It. BOSTON, Mass., March 6.—Prof. Marshall L. Pen-in, of Boston univer sity, gave a sensational talk to his class on the subject of indiscriminately sending boys and girls to college. According to the noted educator, a great mistake is made by those parents who, knowing that their children lack brains, still think that they can have them trained to lives of usefulness by packing them off to a university. Dr. Perrin declared that careful Judgment should be used in choosing between practical instruction and higher edu cation. Among other things he said: "Many a boy would do better to stick to the blacksmith shop and many a girl in the millinery trade. Too many feel that going to college is going to re deem their lives. It sometimes ruins them. Some people are no good in college, but all right in other lines. It is much better to be a successful la borer than a tenth rate minister, a fifteenth rate lawyer or a petty school inarm. "Germany is suffering from an over stock of the educated. Students there attend the gymnasium to escape one year's service in the army. Do the boys go back to the farm and shop aft er a year in the gymnasium? No. They are sent to the university, graduate and have nothing to do. Fifty per cent of them go to the bad. "In America there is plenty of room at the top. It is an individual ques tion with all of you. Remember you can't shovel snow with a pin. It is wicked and criminal to teach a gram mar school boy algebra and Latin. The one is only a trick to higher mathe matics, the other is not valuable till you have studied it a few years. "Take study for itself. Don't go to college and sink. Don't go into a pro fession and lose your self-respect, which is the saddest thing of all." *__.'••- 1' ■■ — JERSEY CITY BARBERS MUST NOT EAT ONIONS Their Hands Must Be Well Manicured, but They May Still Talk. NEW YORK, March 6.—Chief of Police Murphy, of Jersey City, notified each of the 325 barbers in that city yesterday that hereafter any barber who breathes onion or garlic-laden breath in the face of a customer will be arrested and fined. This is but one of eighteen rules contained in a new ordinance of the board of health regulating the conduct of barber shops, copies of which were served on the barbers yesterday. Vio lation of any of the rules is punish able by a fine of $10. The barbers declare that if they comply with the rules it will take an hour to shave a man, and then the barber would have to shave with his back toward hi 3 customer. The rules require that, "mugs and shaving brushes shall be. sterilized by immersion in boiling.water or a 5 per cent formalin solution for at least five minutes after each separate use. . "Razors must be wiped with 95 per cent alcohol before and after being used." Hair brushes must also be ster ilized after use. Barbers are forbidden to breathe on their razor straps, and may not wipe them off with their hands. Powder puffs and sponges are tabooed. The ordinance regulates the cutting of the barber's finger nails and com pels him to wash his hands after serv ing each, customer. Dr. John D. McGill, president of the Hudson County National bank, who is responsible for the rules, said: "There can be no doubt that diseases are often communicated in barber shops. These shops can and must be made aseptic." CAiSTOniA. Bears the a The Kind You Have Always Bocgfjj • —■ . RAILROAD NOTICES. Important Change of Time on the "Mil waukee Road."
