The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that will reach all the remote sores
and liberated surfaces. The history Of
the efforts to treat catarrh during the
past obliges US to admit that only one
remedy has met these conditions, and
that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothir
else has ever done, and both physicians
and patients freely, concede this fact

THE NEW TRAFFIC RATE.
Freight Tariffs Will Be Increased From
to 10 Per Cent.

PORTLAND, Dec. Is Especial Assist
ant General Freight Agent Woodwork, of
the Union Pacific, who returned today
from meeting of the Transcontinental
Association at Chicago, says the question
of 10 per cent. advance from the East to
interior points was not settled, the associa-
ton having no jurisdiction over that par
ticular tariff. The new tariffs, he saws,
will not take effect January /, but will
possibly be delayed until the 18th. Speak
ing of the railroad situation, he said:
The scarcity of cars is not confined to the rail-
roads OF the Pacific Northwest. The same short
age exists on lines in Dakota. Minnesota Iowa
and other middle Western states. and the move
ment OF the grain crop is retarded there Just as
1t is here. All the roads seem TO have more bust
ness than they can handle, while as a rule a de-
crease is shown in the net earnings The prin-
cipal lines running out of Chicago, after having
reduced operating expenses to the furthest pos
sihle limit, have about concluded that some of
the rates must be too low, and in consequence a
general advance has been or viii be made in
freight rates between Chicago and St Paul and
Minneapolis, and Chicago and Missouri river
points.
An advance OF 10 per cent in trauscouti
mental rates was reported in the press dispatches
but the actual increase win not average more
than or per cent. Some of less then carload rates
were advanced more than 10 per cent while
many were not changed, but the advance ON
commodities in which the jobhing trade of this
city IS most interested will not average more
than per cent. For example, the carload rate
on principal articles of iron from Chicago IN
Portland was SlIo per 100 under the ol q tariff
and vi 10 under the new. The rate on agricul
tural implements in carloads from Chicago ana
common points Is increased from 81 10 to 81 25
per loo. Nails cast-iron water pipe and hacking
house products VIII DC handled at the old rates

that Mr.. Bogue desires to be In a position
to wire the positive information, should he
be questioned on the point, that the sub
sidy funds all along the line are closed up
and deposited in the hands of the proper
persons.
Thus far the subscription committee has
secured less than SIS. OOo-the amount be-
ing between $4,000 and $4,000. L. E.
Sampson, of the committee, is confident
that the full amount desired could have
been raised prior to December 1 if all of
the members of the committee had been
able to join in the work of soliciting for a
few hours each day. However, the work
Of securing the funds has devolved princi-

his escape into British territory, and
through the mediation Of Dominion
officials surrendered on promise OF par
don in 1880 In the summer OF 1883, IN a
conference at the Standing Rock agency,
Dakota he Influenced his tribe to refuse
To agree to the treaty under which
the great Sioux reservation was
thrown open to settlers. Sitting Bull
was the head of fhe opposition, John
(,rass and other chiefs readily entering
into the negotiations with the. govern
mept commission. A number of the lead
ing men of the Sioux nation were taken 10
Washington. and there Sitting Bulls willy
and treacherous character was fully shown
in hi, continued refusal to treat with the
government, although he accepted eagerly
All tenders made him. The old chief
finally submitted to the pressure brought
to bear upon him by the men OF his tribe
and signed the treaty, but his stubborn re-
sistance through the summer delayed the
contamination Of the treaty for months.
Although regarded by the Sioux as
almost invincible in war, the influence OF
Sitting Bull over his people in peace had
diminished gradually during the past i've
wears. and the authority and counsel Of
John Grass and Gall had reduced him to
position of little importance In his TRIBE.
Nothing save a series of occurrences similar
TO those of the ghost dance craze could
have brought him again into prominence.
In personal appearance Sitting Bun was
noticeable among the braves OF his tribe.
His frame was massive, though not tall,
and his face full of character. The storms
and herce conflicts of his life had deeply
scanned his features, and his eyes were dun
and expressioniess when not lit up by ex-
citement. The stories of his cruelty and
vindictive hatred of the whites could be
believed readily by all who had ever met
him. 1880.
Cody was at Standing Rock Agency with
an order from General Miles for the arrest
of Sitting Bull. Cody insisted on going to
Bulls camp. Indian Agent Mclaughlin
then sent message to acting Commits
sioner Bell, in which he urged that the
order to arrest Sitting Bull be suspended
and the commissioner of Indian
affairs interviewed the president,
who, recognizing the Importance of the
matter, finally told Secretary Noble to
send an answer over his own signature
suspending the order for Sitting Bulls ar
rest. This dispatch was not received until
three hours after Cody and his party
started for Bulls camp. Scouts and In
dian police were at once started bearing
duplicate copies of a message from Colonel
Drum to Colonel Cody. He was stopped
before he had gone many miles from the
post, and went into camp for the
night near Four Mile creek. He returned
70 Fort Yates with his party and beat a
rapid retreat to Bismark. 1t is said that
Cody's plan was to try to induce Sitting
Bulf to join his Wild West show. Both
the colonel and DR.. Powell had big rolls of
currency with them with which TO tempt
the cupidity of the high priest of the
Sioux, and It is reported that, in place of
making formal arrest. Cody intended to
drive bargain with Sitting Bull by buy
ing his absence from the reservation.
