The Milwaukee and ST. Panl's With.
draWal.

The summary action OF the Chicago.
Milwaukee and St. Paul In giving MOI
tice of withdrawal from the Missouri
River passenger pool February 1, leads
to the belief that great difficulty will be
experienced In effecting Q compromise.
A careful investigation appears to indi-
cate that, in this threatened trouble,
the managers of the Rock Island are
primarily responsible. This great cor
poration has comparatively little inter
est in the Northwest, but through Its
roundabout" connections demands rec
ognition and large slice of the North
western traffic. It is an open secret
that while the Rock Island is supposed
to be more distinctively than almost any
other Chicago road, its power and in.
fuence are being used not only to fur.
ther the speculative desires of trusted
few in Wall Street. but practically
against Chicago's best interests, But
leaving aside all discussion of passenger
quarrels and Wall street combinations
to fleece the lambs, the freight problem
stands locally pre- eminent. It is the
question In which every one is inter-
ested. The fact is not disputed that
steady maintenance OF reasonable and
Just rates inures to the benefit OF the
entire business community, and yet 1t
can hardly be denied that this so-called
Chicago road has been discriminating
steadily against the interests of Chicago.
When the fact is taken into consider
alton that the freight traffic OF the
Western roads represents 75 per cent.
of the gross revenue, some estimate may
be formed as to the huctuation In
stocks that may be caused by any lead
ing road so manipulated. and the In
Jury to Chicago such route is capable
Of doing when administered In the in
terest of Wall street. The hope Is ex-
pressed that the Milwaukee and st.
Paul and the Northwestern may JOIN
forces long enough to effectually sup
press this outside plratlng and bring
the business back to its legitimate
course through Chicago.

Captain Crawford.

Major General Vego, distinguished
officer of the Mexican, arrived atsEl
Paso, Texas, on the 23d. of February
for the City of Mexico, en- route to the
scene of the recent killing of Captain
Crawford, near the boundary line of
Sonora and Arizona. He goes under
directions from the Mexican Depart
ment with instructions to rigidly in
quire into all the details and particulars
that led to the attack by the Mexican
soldiery upon the American troops.
Should General Vego find that the at
tack was wanton upon the part of the
officers commanding the Mexican for
ces, it is believed they will be court
martialed and shot. Many of the Mexi.
can papers denounce the conduct of
Major Santa Anna Perez, the officer in
command OF the Mexican troops.

HOUSEHOLD

REFUSE OF THE HoUsE.-Finely
slfted coal ashes make excellent walks,
and the road-bed in front of your house,
unless it is paved or macadamized,
would be much improved by them. If
they are carried out at night they will
not be SO likely to blow away, and mud
holes can be Immediately filled up.
Iour vegetable and flower beds can be
iertilizcd without expense if you use
fine ashes to hold decaying animal or
vegetable refuse till it is ready for the
ground. A barrel in which is put first
"A layer of ashes and then a layer OF re-
fuse, and so on to the top, will be a
valuable compost in a few months.
This question Of using to good advan-
iage even the refuse of the house is one
quite too little considered, and it will be
worth 4 great deal If householders will
xchange ideas and give the results of
experiments on this subject. We have
known houses in which scarcely so much
As pint Of rubbish a week could be
said to be useless. Besides the econo-
mical considerations, there is the more
vital one Of health; and where the re.
fuse of a home is properly cared for,
health is conserved.
