THE UNIVERSAL TRANSFER BIII

THE UNIVERSAL TRANSFER BILL.
The Commissioners have replied to House
bill 7433, Ito establish universal street rail-
way transfer system in the cities Of Washing
ton and Georgetown. They say in their reply
that they believe that there ought to be some
transfer system that will enable a passenger to
have at least one transfer to second road, but
that the bill under consideration il too general
to be practicable, and they therefore cannot
recommend its enactment.
THE PROPOSED COLUMBIA RAILWAY EXTENSION
Capt. Rosseli, In his report upon Senate bill
1865, to authorize TIE extension of the Column
bia Railway Company: says he believes the
route proposed Is good one He
of clause requiring the road to transfer its
passengers to the Metropolitan Railway
company whenever the two lines come together
The only objection. he says, he has heard con-
corning the route Is due to the fact that if the
Columbia road alone furnished transportation
parties cannot reach parts of the city
that they desire, and as the herdic lines
are giving accommodations to the people
on some parts of the proposed route now they
might be driven away and the people left with
out accommodation. The Commissioners will
act upon the report before they submit their
reply to Congress.
THE POLICE PENSION LIST
Major Moore of the metropolitan police force
in letter to the Commissioners today calls
their attention to the heavy encroachments
that are now being made upon the principal OF
the police fund in order that relief may be
extended to those entitled to its benefits.
In view OF this fact he inquiries il officers
entitled under the law to retirement can as
heretofore, be placed upon the pension list, as
he deems it very desirable that at least one
member of the force should be immediately
discharged from active service in view oi
permanent disability incurred in the line Of
duty. The officer referred to is Sergeant
Buell..

Hon. p. B. PLUMB,
Dear Sir: Many thanks to you for
your kindness to me in the past. But
permit me TO state that the condition Of
the farming classes is twofold worse
than when wrote You nearly two years
ago, that between the money power and
all the combines, we are being ground to
powder. We are in as great distress as
Isreal was under the Midianites (Judges
VII 80 Notwithstanding our immense
crop Of corn and wheat, together with our
hogs and cattle, we are crammed down to
less than cost Of raising. Think Of
shelled corn being hauled to town and
shoveled in car at eleven TO thirteen
cents per bushel. And everything else we
have for sale is in the same proportion.
But nearly everything we are compelled
to buy is forced up TO war prices, | can
probably stand it myself the balance Of
my days, but under the present system
can see no hope for my children, for that
is what troubles me. / will not recon-

RUSSIAN INFLUENZA.

Almost every one is now interested in
knowing the proper treatment for this
disease According TO the best authorities
il requires precisely the same treatment
as a severe cold, and II is generally known
that there is nothing better for severe
cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
taken as directed. Extreme care should be
taken to keep the feet dry and warm, the
body well clothed and to avoid exposure,
especially when recovering from the disease,
and to keepupthe vitality. Persons physic-
ally weak should take tonics to keep up
their strength. Il is also important that
the bowels be kept regular. No ordinary
case is likely to require any further treat
ment than this TO insure complete re-
covery. For sale by w. @. SPENCER.
