THE RAILROAD WAR.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
road has announced its intention of enter
ing the war on western freight rates, in
order to compete on certain business with
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road.
Both lines take freight for Sioux City, and
the first-class rate is 90 cents. The Rock
Island does not carry very much freight to
Sioux City, but enough to compete with
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road.
The former has to carry freight from Chi
cage to West Liberty where the Burling
ton, Cedar Rapids and Northern takes it
and delivers it later, to the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha road The
reduction of rates is on business to Sioux
City, Sioux Falls, Mankato, and Winnie
bago City.
The st. Paul road announces that it will
take freight to the above points for 90 cents
per 100 pounds on all classes.
The Illinois Central makes no stated
rates for these points, but states that it
win make rates as low as any other lines,
and will enter into no agreement.

| Alderman Mott relates the particulars
lof sudden death which occurred in
Kewanee night before last He was in that
town on Tuesday and among other Gus
| toners called on Samuel Martin, who was
formerly bartender for a Mr. KoehleI,
About year ago he married his employers
daughter and subsequently succee led HIM
in the business. Mr.. Mott had pleasant
business and social chat with Martin in the
course of which he said that he was not
well and would feel no better until he
could get out of the restaurant for a few
days. Shortly afterward Alderman Mott
left, and Martin retired to his living rooms
adjoining his place of business. Early in
the evening Mrs. Martin ran out of the
rooms saying that her husband was very
sick. Physicians were called when it was
ascertained that Martin had taken sixty
grains of morphine. All was done to save
his life that twas possible to do and the
doctors so far succeeded in restoring him
to consciousness that he was able to con-
verse about 10 o'clock but died shortly be-
fore midnight. Whether the poison was
swallowed with suicidal intent is not
known positively, but it is reported to-day
that letter was found in one of his peck
cts addressed to a friend. which may throw
some light upon the sad affair. It is also
said that about year ago he took dose
of poison. sold him by young clerk from
this city, but it was always claimed and
admitted that it was an accident
