\ special to the GLOBE from Oshkosh last
night said: Late this afternoon it was dis
covered that notice of lis pendens had been
filed AT register of deeds Office in the matter
of the application of the Milwaukee Il Lake
WimebagO railroad for the condemnation
of certain lands, for the purpose of acquir-
ing certain real estate described in the pc
tition. This indicates beyond doubt that
this is the Wisconsin CentralS new scheme
for the building of a bridge across the river
here, as it now runs over the Milwaukee &
st. Paul bridge.
\ party of prominent railroad contractors
arrived in Wmona yesterday, and after din
ner took carriages for a drive over the pro-
posed route Of the Winona, Alma 81 North
ern road between WinOna and La Crosse.
The party consists of L. G.. Winston of
Minneapolis: J. S. Easement of Painsville;
q. q. kanbaugh and I. Kaulfbaugh OF
Rock Island; George Z. Smith Of La Crosse;
George Anderson and G. 4. Drake of
Tomaha.
\ party of railroad surveyors have been
operating in Galena county, Illinois. since
Monday last. They commenced work near
the mouth OF the Galena river and proceeded
south, and are now in Hanover township.
They are very reticent as to whom they
represent, but they are doubtless in the en-
ploy Of the WinOna, Alma a. Northern
Railroad company.
Messrs. Livingston and Merriam of St
Paul were in La Moure Thursday inspect
ing the grade of the James River Valley
railway, and yesterday construction gang
arrived with horses. wagons, scrapers, etc
Work will be resumed at once between La
Moure and Columbia, and possibly on
other sections.
The Central Traffic association, composed
of all the railroad lines bound east from
Chicago, met yesterday and decided 10 form
a gross money pool, all settlements to date
from Aug. l. The question of percentages
will be decided later on.
A man named Clanch fell from water
tank at Canoyer, on the Iowa and Minnesota
division of the Milwaukee road, yesterday,
and it is likely he will not recover.
a. A. Morse, local agent for the Chicago
d Iowa at Rockford, also agent for the
Milwaukee d st. Paul at that point, is in
the city.

parative obscurity. a mans are always on

The men are taking in the spectacle of our
presence, and the speed of fast horses with
that portion of their body capable of most
enjoyment-their legs. Look down the
aisles of theater. Every man who has an

bridge to that point, but failed in their pur-
pose. They would undoubtedly like TO sell
out, but there is no evidence ON the surface,
or in any other direction, that the Burling-
ton is a customer and those most interested
do not believe that corporation has
any present intention TO enter
into the scheme. The second pro-
jectl has also been referred to in the
GLOBE. President Cable stated that the
company was not treating for purchase of
any road, or listening to any propositions,
at present, from citizens of Burlington
The Toledo, Peoria q Warsaw is the line
about which all this gossip is afioat. Its
stockholders would naturally look to the
Rock Island as probable purchase and on
the best of authority it can be stated that
at this time no such proposition is being
considered. The Rock Island will, in all
probability, go to Burlington some time in
the future, but it has other plans on hand
which will be developed within the next
year and which need its pressing and ex-
elusive attention

Can Bill rs Before.

Dispatches were received by the freight
agents of the various lines running east
yesterday from the West Shore, stating
that the freight difficulties with the Grand
Trunk had been satisfactorily arranged,
and that freight could be again billed ''via
the West Shore" 1t will be remembered
that few days since the Chicago Il
Grand Trunk road gave notice that
1t would receive no more freight from
its Western connections billed via the West
Shore unless charges were prepaid. This
was because the West Shore, the Grand
Trunk claimed. already owed Sl25. 900 for
freight and it did not propose to get any
deeper into the mire and SO took the action
indicated.

Like the Central.
Special to the Globe.


CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Recent statements
that the Illinois Central is taking freight at
less than tariff rate to ST. Paul, are officially
denied. While the Illinois Central is not
member of the association, it is stated on
the best authority that it has refused to take
pound of st. Paul freight at a tenth of a
cent less than the rate fixed upon by the
Northwestern Traffic association. and will
not, under any circumstances. become a
party to any rate cutting. 1t will take any
freight to st. Paul, offered at tariff. and
is not sufficiently interested to make a
struggle for business. There are two other
points in this connection that can be set at
rest The Illinois Central is not interested
in Mr.. Ackerman's Iowa trip or his consoli-
datlon plans regarding local roads in that
section; neither is it back of nor does it own
any stock in the Minnesota a. Northwest
ern or the Dubuque eXtention of that road.

will Issue No More Patents.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Acting Com
missioner Walker of the general land office
has declined to issue any more patents to
the Northern Pacific railroad pending a de-
csion fixing the legal status of the railroad.
In this regard he follows the rule laid down
by Commissioner Sparks in relation TO the
California IL Oregon and the Oregon & CAL
ifomia railroads. The question at issue,
briefly stated. is that that road was not
completed within the time required by law.
and that until congress takes definite action
one way or the other no steps should be
taken to place it beyond the power of the
legislative branch of the government to pro-
tect the public rights.

The feature OF to-day's stock market
has been the great strength displayed

also unusually active during the fore

amounting to 102, 900 shares, and bust

small lots. AS the day wore on, the
market assumed a more quiet tone

There has been some talk to-day of a
combination between the Pennsylvania
Railway and New York Central The
scheme, it is said, is for the Pennsyl-
vanid to secure the control of the West
Shore and then trade it to the New York
Central for South Pennsylvania and
certain interests in the Reading road
and thus form strong offensive and
defensive alliance against the other
trunk lines. 1t is also said that Gould
will favor this scheme and that he
has an eye direct upon Lackawanna,
as his ultimate eastern connection for
the Wabash. 1t is believed by some
that the strength of the New York Cen
trail and West Shore bonds is due to the
purchases necessary to carry out such a
plan.

How to Live on a Dime a Day.

Some so-called scientists are trying to
show how this can be done. But you
can't live very well on so little money.
That sort of economy is poor business,
and generally results in dyspepsia. A
hearty appetite and sound digestion
enable people to earn enough to procure
good square meals. If digestion is poor,
take Browns Iron Bitters, which will
make it right. Mr.. A. s. Hohne, Gin
ton, Iowa. says, II found great relief
from dyspepsia, by using Browns Iron
Bitters."
