PROSPECTS, Ofa Serious Rate Var Deer the
Western Cattle Traffic.
The heavy cattle traffic from Nebraska
points and points northwest thereof will
commence next week and continue for about
three months. 1t is feared that this will
prove the signal for a serious conflict be-
tween the Western Trunk-line Association
roads and the Burlington lines. The cattle
business always is the heaviest source OF
revenue for the Western roads, and there
fore the competition has always been very
active. Heretofore, however, the fight was
confined to the Union Pacific and Burling-
ton & Missouri River roads. The lines east
of the Missouri river were joined together by
the Iowa pool, and if any of the roads car
ried more than their allotted percentage they
had to make up the deficiency Of the other
roads by cash payments. Last year, OF the
Iowa lines, the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul and
Rock Island carried far more,
than their allotted percentage
and they had to pay over TO the Burlington
large sums every month to even up the per-
centages. II will be remembered that last
year tie Milwaukee 81 st. Paul made a for
chile objection against paying over such large
amounts, and finally paid It under protest,
and then gave notice of its withdrawal from
the Iowa pool Since then the Iowa pool has
gone out of existence and all the roads are
combined with the Union Pacific against the
Burlington. Consequently the Burlington
win no longer have its deficiencies made good
by the pool, but it must depend entirely upon
the business it is able to secure for itself.
II is not likely therefore that the Burlington
win again allow the bulk of the traffic to go
over the Union Pacific and its confederates,
and to prevent this it viii likely be compelled
to cut the rates and to enter into severe
fight with the Western Trunk Line associa-
ton This indicates that the profits from
the western cattle traffic this year will. be
much lighter than they have been heretofore.

The Trouble at Eau Claire.


A snag has been encountered in the set
tlement of the Eau Claire and Chippewa
Falls freight trouble, and there is no telling
when the unpleasant condition OF AFFAIRS
which has existed for several months back is
to be entirely remedied. The three roads in
terested, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul, Chicago q
Northwestern. and Wisconsin Central, at
Mondays meeting, readily reached an agree
ment so far as Milwaukee business to the
two points named was concerned, but came
to a dead standstill on the matter OF percen-
tage on Chicago business, the claims Oh the
three roads amounting to 40 per cent. sew
eral ballots being taken on the question OF
percentage. 1t soon became evident that The
matter could not be settled, the chief barrier
being the Central's unfinching claim Tor
an equal proportion with the
other, two roads. This the North
western and st. Paul would not allow, and
an adjournment was taken until yesterday
morning, that the general managers OF Inc
respective roads might be consulted. There
being conditions which prevented the de-
sired consultations, yesterday, further ad-
journment was taken until to-day. Ihere
is little prospect Of the Northwestern and
st. Paul conceding to the Centrals demand
for an equal division Of the Chicago-Eau
Claire business, and as the latter appears de-
termined to stick out for such division, it
is hardly to be expected that an amicable set
Element Of the case will be brought about.
The lumber meetings of northwestern
roads, which have been in progress at the
Milwaukee d. st. Pau's general freight OF

necessary matters having been attended to,
and tariff sheets showing the new rates
agreed upon are now being prepared These
sheets will show rates from Chicago, Mil
waukee and all lumber points in the north
west to all points reached by the railway

Marrying a Deaf and Dumb Man.

A very singular marriage was one
which took place at Leicester, in the
eighteeth year of Queen Elizabeth S
reign, between Thomas Rilsby, deaf
and dumb man. and Ursula Bridget, a
hearing and laxative spinister. As the
prayer-book required that the promises
of marriage should be exchanged in
spoken words, the clergy and civil au-
thorties of Leicester were unable to say
how this dumb man could be satisfac-
torily married. In their perplexity they
appealed to the Bishop of London, who,
with the help of another member of the
clergy, devised marriage service by
signs. The bride made her promise in
the usual manner. and the groom did
his part thus: Having first embraced
Ursula with his arms, he took her by
the hand and put the nuptial ring on
her finger. He then laid his right hand
significantly upon his heart, and after
ward, putting their palms together, ex-
tended both his hands to Heaven. Hav-
ing thus sued for the divine blessing,
he declared his purpose to dwell with
Ursula till death should separate them
by closing his eyelids with his fingers,
digging the earth with his feet, as
though he wished to make hole in the
ground, and then moving his arms and
body as though he were tolling a funeral
bell. st. James Gazette.
