cutting rates or doing anything else
naughty, that it has threatened to cut
the rates between Chicago and Council
Bluffs. This threat seems to have ac-
cOmplished its purpose heretofore, but
now it seems to have lost it's power.
The Chicago, Burlington IL Quincy an

could no longer control the Bur-

Immediately declared that if the latter
roads cut the rates it would retaliate in
the usual way against the Chicago,
Burlington Il Quincy. 1t is evident that
the Milwaukee & st. Paul will have the
opportunity to retaliate, as w. j. G.
Kenyon, of the Burlington & Northern,
who is now in Chicago, telegraphed to
the office in st. Paul last night as
follows:

tomorrow morning that we have given
the required fifteen days notice of with

ger association, taking effect Feb. 9.
This action has been taken so as to
place the Burlington & Northern in
position to meet all competition which
now exists or may arise in the future"

1t was children'S day yesterday. and
the little people who are anXiOusly
climbing up to their teens, and who get
into all colors and styles of carnival
uniforms, invaded the palace and took
full possession of the grounds. Over
$500 youngsters were skipping around
in the vicinity of the palace, tobog-
gaming, skating, playing Skinny
and looking at the Indians. Mr.
Munson had his Shetland ponies
on the ground with saddles and all
styles of pony SleighS, and these the
children monOpOliZed to their hearts
content, at cents per ride. 1t was a
happy, wondering, admiring, lively and
very well behaved crowd. There was
no pony brigade nor Juvenile pro-
ceSSSiOn, Mr.. Tallmadge being of
opinion that the children get too cold in
parade. and that they do not then
enjoy the fun of the palace. toboggan
slides and skating Kinks as much as
when they go TO the grounds
any way they please. There
were no accidents, and if a little
would-be man or woman got lost, Mr..
Tallmadge soon succeeded in finding
the missing pet. The diminutive ladies
had great fun behind the Shetland
teams and four in hands. while a host
of small gentlemen scampered around
the palace time and again upon the
backs of the ponies. The ponies seemed
TO enjoy the thing about as much as
the children. The slight charge is all
the income Nj. MunsOn gets for their
use here. The big jubilee of the chill
dren is reserved until the closing day.
The Indian camp seemed to concentrate
a large portion Juvenile interest.
