VICTORY FOR MANITOBA.
The Canadian Pacific Must no
 Longer Hold a Monopoly.

The monopoly of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way for the exclusive construction of railways in Manitoba to the international boundary line is at an end. Premier Greenway and At torney- General Martin, of Manitoba, the two delegates sent to Ottawa to confer with the Ottowa authorities and the Canadian Pacific, have left for home. They express themselves as D rfectly satisfied with tho arrange ment arrived at, the Dominion Govern ment virtually making a back-d down. Premier Greenway carries in his pocket a itten pledge from Sir John Mcdonald, Premier of the Do minion, that in the future no acts passed by the Dominion Government authorizing the construction of railways from any part in Manitoba to the international boundary line will not be disallowed by the Dominion Govern ment. The Manitoba Government, it is prob able, will purchase from the Canadian Pacific Railway the Emerson branch connected with the Northern Pacific, thus affording the settlers a direct outlet to the American market. The Canadian Pacific Railway monopoly in the western portion of the Dominion extending from Manitoba to the Pacific coast will be wiped out within the next few weeks, when Parliament will be asked to vote to the cor n>ration compensation of upward of f12,00o,- 900.

A STUBBORN FIRE. Several Buildings Burned Involving a Loss of $3OO,OOO.

The fire which started ill the five-story block, corner of Lake and Peoria streets, Chicago, gave the firemen great trouble before it was finally subdued. The huge structure was filled with inflammable material, and as soon as the flames gained headway there was no stopping them. The fire spread to couple of residen- ces west of the burning block, and soon after TOW of wooden tenements across the street began to blaze. The families in all of these houses had to move out very suddenly and were able to save but little furniture. It is believed that one man was burned to death in the cottage next to the factory. While the fire was raging fiercely large section of the Lake street wall of the burning building fell out and two three fremen were injured serious ly. Just before this, Marshal Murphy with Is men who were preparing to leave the fourth floor where they had been working were knocked down and badly bruised by terrific explosion of hot air. They had hardly got out before e.ioors fell to the basement. The fire was the most stubborn one which the fremen have encountered for long time, and the B engines which were called after it's outbreak all remained hard at work for many hours.
 The losses on the building and to the occu- pants will aggregate S30O,00O Davis x Rankin, dairy supplies, the Zimmerman Refrigerator Co.,, Dinn, Weaver & Co.,, tinware, aud the Goss Printing Press Co.are the principal losers The insurance is small.

A Sash and Blind Trust.

York door, sash, and blind manufacturers, a combination was formed which includes nearly all the large manufacturers in New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Price lists will be revised and prices will be ad- vanced about ten per cent, but the scheme will not go into effect until after the spring trade. Production will also be regulated. Each es- tablishment pays a certain sum of money into pool, and forfeits it if the rules of the com bination are broken. All the concerns will be required to make reports of the business done, and to open their books to the inspection of the officers, who are soon to be elected, The headquarters of the combination will probably be in New York

NIrS. lOgan'S Pension,

One hundred and fifty-four Republican and Democratic Representatives voted for the pas sage of the Senate bill giving pension of S2,0O0 year to the widow of Gen. John A. Logan, and the measure now lacks only the in- dorsement of the President to make it law. Nine-four Democratic representatives, incud- ing Messrs. Belmont and Tracey of New Yerl, opposed the bill. They were joined by a single Republican, MT Cheadle of Indiana, who agreed with the 94 that the bill established a bad precedent ill the line of civil pension list. Numerous speeches were made on each side of t'e chamber in support of the bill, the ground being the military services of Gen, Logan.

"Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
 TeathH v

A prominent English woman says the American women all have high, shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
 Americans don't like the constant twitting they get about this nasal twang, and yet it is fact caused by our dry stimulating atmos- phere, and the universal presence of catar- rhal diffiulties.
 But why should so many of our women have false teeth9
 That is more of a poser to the English. It is quite impossible to account for it except on the theory of deranged stomach action caused by imprudence in eating and by want of regular exercise.
 Both conditions are unnatural
 Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail and end in cough and consumption, which are promoted by malnutrition induced by deranged stomach action. The condition is modern one, one unknown to our ancestors who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and consumption by abundant and regular use of what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy and Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned reme- dies handed down from our ancestors, and now exclusively put forth under the strong est guarantees of purity and efficacy by the world-fanled makers of Warmers safe cure. These two remedies plentifully used as the spring and summer seasons advance give @ positive assurance of freedom both from catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung | troubles and consumption, which so gen. orally and fatally prevail among our people.
 Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem. Henry Co.,, Iowa, served four years in the late war and contracted a disease called consumption by the doctors Hs had frequent hemorrhages. After using Warmers Log Cabin Cough and l Consumption remedy, he says, under date ot Jan. 18th, 1888: {" I do not bleed at the lungs any more, my cough does not bother me, and do not have any more smothering spells Warmers Log Cabin Rose Cream cured his | wife of catarrh and sue is 'sound and we'll Of course we do not like to have our womer | called nose takers and false teeth owners but these conditions can be readily overcome l in the manner indicated
