| for while the variou ticket Offices wer'
besieged by people wi 10 had been mislet
in this way as to the faa q to Chicago, ant
| it was not an easy matte r to disabuse thei
minds.
Mr. MERRIA L.
This gentlemen, who an ived in ST. Pau
| early Sunday morning. was here til
noon, where he left in hi'
car for Minneapolis. He claims
that he is for peace; that hes tried to avoid
the fight, but now that he is in he will ses
to it that the interests of his road are pro
tected. Judge Chandler, who is Mr.. Mer-
rill's right-hand man in st. Paul, regards
the fight as the most unnecessary and fool
ish one that the ingenuity of znen could
invent
kNoTEEE REDUCTION.
During the forenoon the fare to. Omaha
was reduced to. 81, by the MllwaukeB road,
and about the same time the Same
road lowered the price Of freight, sa the
following circular that was posted UP all
around shows:
''Ten cents per I0Opounds on all fre5ght,
regardless of classification, via Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway from St.
Paul, Minneapolis. and Minnesota transfer,
to Sioux Falls, Sheldon, Winnebago City,
Shakopee, Carver, Sioux City, Mankato,
Albert Lea, Chaska, Chicago and Milwaa-
kee, taking effect Monday, Nov. 90, 1882. :
J. c.. BogDEs, freight agent"
The Chicago, St. Parl & Omaha road
people do not care anything about the cir
cular, and assert that i. was issued for no
other purpose than to make show of
fight. They declare that 1T does not hurt
them in the least and that they shall pay
no attention to it.
WHERE ARE THE oYPICERs?
Mr.. Cable, of the Albert Lea route, and
Mr.. Porter, of the Chicago, st. Paul &
Omaha road, are not in the city, and sthe
remark was often heard yesterday that it
was curious that these gentlemen should
be absent during the progress of such
a war as the present one, and not
few expressed the opinion that the fightwa
going along well enough without them and
that they thought they had better keep
away and let it go on. Mr. Teasdale, the
general passenger agent of the Chicago,
St. Paul and Omaha road, was busy all
day long fixing up rates that appear be-
low, SO that he could not say anything at
all. Mr.. Hiland was found, and he was all
full of smiles, and did not think it was
worth while in such general dance as the
railroad people are now having for
anybody to get up into the corner and have
cotillion all by themselves. There was
KIND of triumphant smile upon his face
which carried the idea to his hearers that
he regarded the Omaha road as the one
most likely to come out of the fight with
good deal more fur on its back than the
other roads. In fact this feeling appears
to prevail throunhout the whole Omaha
Office. If that road does not win its Off
GERS will be greatly disappointed. In this
connection it may be mentioned that
George L. Carman, Esq, of Chicago, rail
road pool commissioner of the Northwest
is in the city, with headquarters at the
Merchants.
HOW TICKETS ARE SOLD.
Tickets on all the roads are sold subject
to rebate. The Albert Lea office charges
SIS for Chicago ticket and pay
back $3.50 when the train arrives in
Chicago On the other two routes they
charge S8 for ticket and when the ticket
is taken up on the train the holder receives
back 81, which makes the fair 81 on the
Omaha and Milwaukee trains, and fifty
cents on the Albert Lea route.
