"While these reports from the West are affirmed
and reaffrmed, gaining strength and positive
ness with each repetition. nothing definite trans
pres at the Office of the company in Boston.
The management keeps its own counsel, and re-
fuses to take either its stockholders the publ"
generally into its confidence. The only fact
which can be learned is that when the company
wants Chicago line it will build it ITSELF and
that this lis likely to take place some time before
1890 Meanwhile the street has made up ITS
mind that the new road is to be built before
long, and the great question Of interest is as to
what form the new enterprise will take from the
point of view of rights. While it may be said
that opinion favors the building of the line, the
street is inclined to wonder what kind of
ception will be accorded to the proposition to the
stockholders when the latter informed that
the road is to be built, and are invited to sub
scribe to the securities of the new company.
There is also some interest to see exactly what
effect the new line will have when it comes in
competition with the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy. Boston's interest in these two proper
ties will make this last matter source Of con-
siderable discussion"

Favorable Rates for DIR essed Beef.

CHICAGO, Oct. THE State board of railroad
and warehouse commissioners closed it's session
to-day, after deciding that dressed beef should
be made fourth class freight instead of third
class. This means reduction of the tariff that
will greatly relieve the heavy discrimination that
has been placed upon dressed beef The rate
for third class freight will be 16 cents per 100
pounds TO Peoria, while fourth class goes for 10
cents per 100 pounds. the entire schedule is
the same to all points, the same proportion be-
ing maintained in the rating.

ward and made Sioux Falls via Egan,
arriving at Sioux Falls at seven last
evening. There they remained until
two O'Clock this morning, awaiting
transportation facilities, and then came
on, arriving at Yankton at five O'Clock
this morning. They had no sleep during
the night and felt rather aged on their
arrival here, a condition which sometimes
afiicts soldiers in active service. A
straight pull to Yankton would have
brought them home Sunday afternoon,
but they would not have seen SO much
prairie as they did by following the
course prescribed for them.
The militia boys testify that they had
q pleasant encampment and that it was
much more valuable to them as q means
of instruction than the preceding en-
campment. Their time was largely
devoted to battalion drill and gratifying
advancement was made in regimental
m%aneuvers, There was no prize COM
pany drill this year, SO there were no
honors to carry off. The Yankton CON-
pany was highly complimented by the
colonel of the regiment, who said they
had lost none of their proficiency. AS
they took the prize last year and have
held their own, they may still be rated
the prize company.
