Track TOpics-A General Rise In Rail-
road Rates.

road Rates.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The Pennsylvania
railroad makes the following announce
ment: On and after Tuesday, October
25th, the passenger rates by the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad
to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
or Washington will be $14, and to BOs-
ton on the 8 80 train via the New York
and New England railroad, SIS. These
are all without rebate. The overcrowded
trains and the great annoyance of rebate
caused passengers on arriving at their
destination has induced this road to
make this change, which in fact seems
necessary.
THROUGH RATES.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. A-The Penn
sylvania railroad company has increased
all through passenger rates from
the East to points west of Pitts
burg, to go into effect tO-mor-
row. The new schedule from
Boston to Chicago and Cincinnati is $15 /;
to st. Louis, SIT; from New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Washington to
these points, 81 less than from Boston,
viz: $I4 to Chicago and Cincinnati, and
$40 to st. Louis. Corresponding increae
in rates was made to other competing
points in the west. The Baltimore and
Ohio company has agreed to join in the
advance.
NEW DEAL.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 25.-Several
officials of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore
and Western road, including the gen.
eral superintendent, H. G. r. Reed, and
general freight and passenger agent, +.
II. Whitcomb, handed in their Fesigna-
lions to the board of directors, and
these will be acted upon at a meeting in
ment of the road is to be changed.
AN IMPORTANT RAILWAY MOVEMENT.
CAIcAGo, Oct. 25-The Pennsylvania
Railroad company gives notice to ship
pers here that on and after October 25th
the rates by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago railway company will, on
account of their crowded condition and
the scarcity of the cars, be raised on
grain, -four and provisions to the follow
ing figures: Chicago to New York,
twenty cents; to Philadelphia eighteen
cents, and TO Baltimore, seventeen cents
per hundred pounds.
VANDERBILT IN ALSO.
CHICAGO, Oct. %. - The Vanderbilt
roads followed the advance in both pas
senger and freight rates, but though
recognizing. the advance did not fully
meet, in view of the differential tariff,
which has all along been a bone of con-
tention. The Vanderbilt lines made
passenger rates as follows: From Chi
cago to New York, $40, with rebate of
1925; to Boston via Albany, $40, with a
rebate of $7.25; Springfield, SIS, with
rebate of $7.25.
RISE IN FREIGHT.
OMAHA, Oct. 25.-The Union Pacific
railway has officially announced its in
tentions to open up for active operations
its Omaha and Denver short line today.
The movement will effect more than any
other yet made the western and Colora-

competition it will create with the Den

From the fact that the vast productions OF
two or three States and Territories have been
poured into the hands Of Kansas City for toll
and commission, we have thought, and as
serted in times pat, that by 1890 she would
lead st. Louis In commercial Importance.
Kansas City has been the gateway for the

Colorado and New Mexico, across which she
has successfully held her drag-net. But a
change seems stealing over the situation, and
the result promises to be widespread and ei-
fsctual, All the prominent lines of railway
from St. Louis and Chicago have been forced

government and Chill and Peru, 1t says:
"The country has reason 10 rejoice that

1t is said of the new Attorney General,

1t Is said Of the new Attorney. General,
B. II. Brewster, by the Chicago Tmss:

Mr.. Brewster speaks, however, all 10 forgot

once, upon his travels, he was seated at one
Of the dining tables Of leading New York
hotel. lie was engaged in the courts Of that
city, and ~ his stay was protracted, he was
given u regular table. At this table there
sat q gentleman and his wife and one or two
lady relatives. They were so much disturb
ed at the sight Of Mr.. Brewster that they re-
Questcd the landlord to remove him, rs they
said the sight of his countenance destroyed
their appctites. The landlord went to Mr..
Brewster and frankly told him of this re-
quest Of his fellow guests. Mr.. Brewster
said 2 i am used to such incidents; but If

the landlord succeeded in persuading his
sensitive guests to consent to such introduce
ton. The sequel IL very brief. Before the
stipulated five minutes had passed the entire
party had become SO completely fascinated
with Mr.. Brewster that they rendered him
the most profuse apologies for their previous
objections, and afterward became his firm
friends and most devoted admirers. He is
married to one Of the most beautiful women,

PLUNB'S SILVER BILL.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec, Ex-senator
Plumb to-day introduced bill authorizing
the owners OF silver bullion to dispose Of it
at any mint or assay office, under such reg
ulations as the Secretary OF the Treasury
may make, and receive therefor silver dol
lars or silver certificates, to the market value
Of the bullion. The bill also modifes the
silver bill Of 1878, providing that the coinage
Of silver dollars shall continue until the
amount Of dollars represents 30 per cent. OF
the silver certificates outstanding, and that
the silver dollar coinage shall be kept at this
proportion and not 60 beyond it. Mr.. Plumb
says his idea Is to avoid the accumulation Of
more silver dollars than are needed, but to
keep on hand ali that are needed that it is a
useless expense to keep the mints running
TO coin money not needed in circulation or
for redemption of certificates.

Wichita is reaching out in all directions
for competing railway. She has two, but
they are practically one in control. There
is no competition between them. She be-
lieves, as we do, that the st. L., TT. s. & w.

her whole length TO secure 1t. II is sure to
go to her, If il Is built, because it is right in
the track Of the road, and not because rail-
roads want to build to "center." That is
just what they wish to avoid, and what they
do avoid in farming country, by accomo-
dating many small markets rather than iw
large ones.
Wichita will make quite city, but If she
gets to be one-tenth OF the size she herself
anticipates 1t should be matter Of congraf-
ulation on the part Of her citizens Raisut

CHRISTMAS AT VALLEY CENTER.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
No matter what rapid strides or advance
movements rival, pretentious villages like
Wichita, Newton or Emporia make, Valley
Center. with its class Of wide-awake, 60
ahead inhabitants, always has been and will
continue to be on top. For proof OF which,
just read the following list of entertainments
for the holidays: NJ. E. Church festival and
oyster supper Friday night, December 23d !;
Christmas tree Christmas eve; Ten Nights
in Bar-rOom, moral drama in five acts,
Friday night. December 3Oth. None will re-
greet the time and money spent in witnessing
this play as it will present true picture of
bar-roOm scenes and the attending evils Of
intemperance in various forms. The assist
ance of experienced actors and actresses Of
no mean ability has fortunately been secured
and the whole will be under the management
and supervision of Mr.. l. L. Ault, which Of
itself assures success, as in addition to his
experience and ability rs dramatist, he never
does any thing on the halves.
We feel safe i'm saying to all who may at
tend that they will receive their moneys
worth an hundred fold. The proceeds are to
be used for the benefit Of the N. +. Church
at Valley CeLter. But is this all in the way
of amusements! Not much it amt. At
some time in the near future Mrs. j. NJ. Ro-
mine and her music class intend to give
grand vocal and instrumental concert which
will just fairly knock the wind out OF and all
former entertainments Of the kind.
