The Spring Tariff on Local Rates to be In
augurated TO-Day-The Effect.

The Spring Tariff on Local Rates to be In
augurated TO-Day-The Effect.
To-day the spring tariff of the Northwest
ern Traffic association takes effect on freight
from Chicago and Milwaukee and st. Paul
and Minneapolis, at rates lower than ever
before. The through rates beyond the latter
places have not been changed. The through
tariff heretofore to points beyond st. Paul
and Minneapolis has been lower than local
rates from Chicago and local rates
from here beyond. That is to
say, merchant west of st. Paul
could buy goods in Chicago and ship on
through bills of lading at rate below the
two locals added. The result of it was that
until last fall st. Paul and Minneapolis job
beers got sufficient rebate to put them on an
even basis with Chicago merchants.
The rebate, however, at the close of navi-
CATION was Withdrawn, since which time the
local trade has been at disadvantage as
compared with Chicago merchants.
The new tariff reduces the local and
there has been no corresponding
reduction in the through traffic. The two
local rates are now in most instances as low
as the through rates and in many cases even
lower. This fact was so noticeable that some
of the roads have been compelled to reduce
local tariff to points east of here to prevent
goods from being first billed here from Chi
cago, then back over the same roads to the
real point of destination. But for stations
west no such change has been made. This
fact is very important to local jobbers, as it
gives them more advantage than they have
heretofore enjoyed.

1. Reveals mans resistance to truth
How much the heart of man can
withstand. What moving appeals fall on
his ears without influencing him. Who can
be more apathetic, more unimpresslole.
Think what entreaties, arguments, solclta-
tons meet every man, intended to change
his life and enlist him in Christian
service, all of which he re-
sistsl What young man escapes
appeals designed to draw him to Christ
like life. Yet how futile in many, II not
most instances. Who, if thoughtful ought
not to be admonished to avoid that callous-
ness which makes possible such indifference
such rejection of holy influences.
2. What need of courage, If man is 10
realize his best possibilities. Had Agrippa
been Drawer, he would have yielded to the
apostles words, and started on different
life. He let slip the golden opportunity OF
his career. Many young man can look
back to time when he was almost persuaded
to do and be different. Many have stood once
near the gates of penitence only to turn
from them and throw away redemption's
overtures.
8. What need of the Holy Spirit to energise
us where weak, and embolden US to forsake
every hindrance and stand for Christ! We
solace ourselves by the thought that we mean
some time to turn over new leaf, but alas,
the convenient time never comes, and we
simply miss of salvation through inaction
and heedlessness. The warning of the
apostle comes to the young with solemnlty
none can fail to feel, because of the con-
snicuous instances of those who defaulted to
duty when pied by the mightiest motives.

WANTED IN ST. PAUL.
Landers, Alias Wilbur James, the Jewelry
Thief, will Plead Guilty-His Boston
Epamorata

A Boston special to this paper yesterday
contained the subjoined information:
Detective W. A. Pinkerton of Chicago left
Boston yesterday evening, having in custody
Frank .Landers, alias Charles Allen, alias
Wilbur James, who is wanted in St. Paul on
the charge of victimizing several iewelry
houses. Landers has had romantic career.
he was born in Utica, N. Y, and in early
life was train boy on various Western
railroads, which accounts for his
wonderful acquaintance with the differ
ent railroad lines centering in
Chicago. He has a brother in st. Louis
and another in st. Paul, both of whom occu-
Ply responsible positions. According to adj
missions made to Detective Pinkerton,
Landers recently operated with great success
in Philadelphia, nearly every dealer in jew
elry on Chestnut street in that city having
been victimized to greater or less extent
He has also operated in New Orleans, Louis
vile, Omaha, st. Paul, San Francisco, and
Baltimore. He will be first taken to ST. Paul,
where there are several charges of forgery
against him and he has agreed to 90
back to that city and plead guilty, hoping
thereby to avoid the results of his evil
cisco Landers wentunder the name of Frank
W. Marshall, and succeeded in obtaining
jewelry from eight different jewelers., the
value OF the goods ranging from $3.50 to
$3.50. After he left that city he ostensibly
started for the Sandwich islands, to which
locality the San Francisco officers pursued
him, but he succeeded in making his escape
and came east. While in Bos-
ton Landers made the acquaint-
ance of well-known society woman,
who became so much enamored of him that
when he was arrested and lodged in Charles
street Jail scheme was concocted to secure
his release by smuggling into him in box
Of rare flowers dozen fine steel saws, with
which it is presumed, he intended to saw the
bars and in that way secure his liberty. The
scheme was frustrated through the exertions
of q detective, who ascertained what was in
the wind and put the sheriff and officers at
the jail on their guard

Gait for another Meeting.

AS the railroad lines running east from
Chicago have plenty of business in transit
there is no cutting of rates reported.
Another strong effort will be made by the
general managers of the various roads in the
territory west of the western termini of the
trunk lines and east of the Mississippi river
to bring about the formation Of a new pool.
Mr.. j. Fl. Devereux, chairman of the late
session at Chicago, has issued call for
another meeting at Chicago April 16. The
meeting will have before it the report of the
committee Of eighteen which was appointed
at the previous meeting. - 1' al@sss =
The committee of eighteen above, -
toned has as yet taken no action regarding
the plan for pooling the business to be SUBJ
mitte6 for the consideration of the meeting.
The committee will probably meet the day
previous to the general meeting, by which
time it will be known what conclusion
Messrs. Fink and Midgley, at their confer
ence in New York, have arrived at. 1t is ex
pected that the two commissioners will get
up some plan similar to the one under
which the Southwestern Railway asso-
citation has been successfully pperstef for
some years, and this plan is to be submitted
by the committee of eighteen to the general
meeting. There can be no doubt that all the
roads will favor gross-money pool of that
kind and there would be no difficulty in
adopting such plan if it was not for the diff
ference of opinion as to the percentages the
various roads should have.

POLICE PICKINGS.

Lieut.. Lowell found Paul Maguhn prowl-
ing in the rear of the same buildings which
he was once accused of firing, and as he
could not satisfactorily explain his presence

THE 1926 Ensf Mil

A statement is made that Gen. George W.
Jones of Dubuque, Ia, came across this APP
plication to Postmaster General Randall,
June 10, 1886, for postal route from st.
Louis to Dubuque, in the territory of Mis-
souri,, while rummaging in old papers the
other day. 1t was sent to Washington few
days after the postmaster general had named
a steambo to carry the mail down the Ohio
river from Pittsburg and Louisville TO st.
Louis at an expense of $4,000 per year.
Gen. Jones wrote: sowing to the break
up in the spring mail matter is sometimes
six months in transit from the East to Hi
nois. Wisconsin and Missouri, aud, being
carried on horseback and in open stage
wagons, much of it is lost and the remainder
so badly worn as to make the address on the
letters and newspapers almost illegible. A
steam boat could be secured at an expense of
81, 600 per season to carry the mail from ST.
Louis to Dubuque. Should at any time the
Rock Island and Keokuk rapids be so low
that they could not be nayigated deduction
from the boat-owner's compensation could
be made with which to pay the carrier on
horseback. / recommend that you adopt the
experiment Give us weekly mail for q
season at least" The generals request was
granted, and the experiment has since been
continued with the addition of mail trains.

Paradise Lost Witnessed by Fashionable

A large and fashionable audience assem-
bled at the Grand last night to witness the
caci-optic representation Of Millions Para
disc Lost,a as presented by Clement L. Geiger,
o gentleman OF considerable power as de-
scriptive orator, as manifested in the fasci-
mating character of bis lecture last night.
The views were handsomely colored, and
represented scenes in Miltou's immortal
poem, the designs being from the brush OF
the famous French artist, Dore. About fifty
views were presented, each one cover
ing the canvass, which was spread

exquisite comedy and rare plums fresh from
the alembic of modern wit.
OF the new play an exchange says: His

his teens, was arrested early this morning
by Lieut.. Lowell for participating in saloon
row at the place, No. IA Rice street. kept

running out to save an attack upon himself.
Afterward he returned and assisted Carr toa
neighboring physician for treatment his

eleven stitches. To the officers the saloon
keeper said that there were four of ''the Rice
street gang" engaged in the racket, and that

number with mallet or some equally dan
gerous weapon. Other arrests will follow.
