THE nimble penny has succeeded "the

day, made up of ten cars, and containing
an aggregate of three hundred emigrants
who left for Winnipeg over the Manitoba

The blockade of immigrant outfit trains

The new Kansas railroad commission is
charged with general supervision of all
railroads in the state operated by steam
and all express companies, sleeping car
companies and all other persons, compa-

meats from Chicago eastward than for
carrying live stock, but this discrimination

ecutiye committee have placed the Peoria,
Decatur & Evansville upon the black list,
