NO CONCLUSION REACHED.

| From the Globe Democrat.
The meeting Of the Southwestern Asso-
citation and its lines interested in Kansas
transportation, which began at the South
ern day before yesterday, was continued
through the morning and afternoon yester-
day and will be resume this morning. The
committee appointed the day before to re-
port upon the subject Of reimbursement of
rates announced that they had been unable
to agree upon a report, and they were dis
charged The subject was then referred
to the general meeting for discussion, and
the various interests presented their views
at length At the afternoon session a rcso-
luton was introduced by the Mis-
souri, Pacific providing that mas
much as the general meeting was
unable to conclude what was the most just
and equitable basis for making rates from
the Missouri river points and ST. Louis and
Chicago to the territory in Kansas in dis
pute, the question be settled by arbitration
This proposition was the subject Of a good
deal Of controversy and argument, and q
vote upon the resolution was delayed until
this morning. The basis of arbitration
proposed is that one representative be
appointCu Dy caCn OF inc parueS interested
the Missouri Pacific, Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fee, st. Louis and San Francisco,
and Southwestern Association-theSet to ap-
point a fifth in the event they cannot agree.
The resolution also provides for
pooling a large number Of junction points
III Kansas, and this is an important consid-
Grafton in the matter In fact, if the meet
ing fails to agree upon this basis of settle
mcnt, it will probably be because Of some
particular business involved III this pool,
concessions in which some Of the roads
may be unwilling to render.
Commissioner Midgely is quoted as say
ing that ''the Missouri Pacific claims diff |
ferential should be allowed to the lower
route, but does not want any change made |
in the through rate, that being the same by
both routes The Missouri Pacific people !
say that this statement of the case is inaccu- |
rate. The road asks for slight change in !
the through rate, but the request of the |
st. Louis lines contemplate slight change !
IN the present through tariff rates How |
ever, the through rates via Kansas City and |
via the direct lines will, in the event such |
charge is made, be the same.

LIVE WE FOR WHAT
BY MAJOR MACNAMARA.

Is it all of life to live and dream,
And tiercely strive to gather treasure!
To make each hour a golden CLEAN,
And our lives one round of pleasure!
Receive we thus the final call
Live we for this-Oh, is this alls
Do we live to climb Ambitions hill
To rear its merciless flag on high
And seattle the hearts by which we VIII
From earth mount to Ambitions sky
While we ascend may we not fall
Live we for this-Oh, is this all!
Live we for music, joy and NTH,
For all the gladness life can give;
For man is there no after birth,
Is there naught else for which to live:
Oh, is not pleasure but thrall-
- Live we for this-Oh, is this all.
Live we for sunlight. fragrance, flowers,
For roses rare to strew our path,
Live we for lightly laden hours
Is there for man no after math!
All, is there naught that will appal
Man in the future, after all!
Live we for love-its feeting joys
Live we for things that time will end,
Is life aught else but cold alloys,
The meanest drosS the world can lend!
The greatest joys of life are small,
And this We'll find-Oh, after all.

Chicago is again in the midst of another
outbreak of labor troubles. The dispatches
this morning announce that the executive
committee of the Knights of Labor issued
a formal order yesterday afternoon calling
out all the men employed in the stock
yards. This action, after the destinct dec
larations by the great labor convention at
Richmond recently that no more strikes
would be permitted, indicates that there is
something radically wrong somewhere.
Meanwhile the innocent public is made to

An afternoon Kansas City paper, Thurs
day, published tie announcement that
Judge Phillips, the defeated Democratic
candidate for congress III that district,
would contest the election with Mr.. War
ner, his successful competitor. The
Times has the manlincss TO condemn the
move, and asserts that it is an unauthor-
lied scheme of Boss Conigan's to save HIM
self from pecuniary loss by gambling on
the result of the election The Times also
frankly admits that such contest, even if
it should be successful and result in seat
ing Phillips, would cost the Democratic
party in that district ten thousand votes
two years hence While it was possessed
for the moment with spirit virtuous hon
esty our esteemed contemporary might
have added that the district would gain
nothing in the way of capacity and ability
By an exchange. inasmuch as Major War
ner is one Of the most laborious, painstall-
ing members of the house, Kansas City
certainly has nothing to complain of at his
hands.

ssLfqufd Bread,'-A New and VAL
uabIe Remedial Agent.

Among the recent great discoveries OF
science the preparation known a.
Liquid Bread" is Just now attracting
widespread attention among medical
men aud the public generally. 1t is an
absolutely pure extract OF malt and has
proved to be the most valuable tonic
and remedial beverage which has yet
been introduced. 1t has a very low
alcoholic basis, less than three per cent.
combined with very high sugar, album
mold and cellulose constituents, the
whole forming a beverage which in a
most remarkable degree builds up the
system, restores the appetite and cures
impaired digestive power. The leading
physicians Of this country and Europe
indorse this pr partition IN most an
qualified manner and ther certificates
show that they consider it one of the
most valuable remedies of the present
age. 1t acts as tonic and mild stimu-
liant, and is a complete substitute for
the ordinary alcoholic beverages. 1t
positively cures dyspepsia and restores
yigor in cases of nervous debility as
nothing else can. Liquid Bread" has
been introduced on this Coast and
/ throughout the country by James A.
Pillsburry, representing David Nichol-
son, the proprietor, st. Louis. Messrs.

The HERALD yesterday gave the his
tory of piece Of property on the hill,
on which a poor man in year, by in
vesting $1,000, secured nice home for
that period and then sold it at net
profit of 33s per cent. Some times a
poor man makes his profit by holding on
to his property. Across the street from
the piece whose history was given yes
terday is lot 40 feet on Charity, north
of Second some 300 feet This pieos
reaches back to Bunker Hill avenue,
where it has an equal frontage. The
distance between the streets Is las feet.
Two years ago the owner was offered
$1,000 for the lot. He consulted the
writer, who told him to hold on q
while longer. He did so and owns
the lot to-day. He has refused
$500 for it several times and
will certainly get $4,000 II he holds
it until the end OF the summer. Here
is positive profit of considerably over
100 per cent. already, and liable to
reach $50 per cent, all in 25 months, or
at the rate of over 6 per cent. a month.
The time is not at all passed to reap
such rich rewards. There is money to
be made anywhere in Los Angeles prop
erty--none more so than on these very
hills. Population is moving that way
rapidly. Next Friday, May l4th, the

sale. Every buyer il certain to realize
