Railroad Men In Trouble.

CHICAGO, ILL, December 5.-The federal
grand jury resumed its investigation of the
alleged violation of the interstate commerce
law by western railroads and shippers. A
number of shippers were examined, and
among the more prominent railroad officials
put on the stand was Traffic Manager W. NJ.
Sage. of the Rock Island. The opinion is
gaining ground that several indictments will
be found against shippers and railway Off
Gals. and in consequence an uneasy feeling
exists in railway and shipping circles.
James L. Peasley, treasurer of the Chi
caSo Burlington Il Quincy railroad. was
brought into the federal court for falling to
answer questions before the federal grand
jury, and especially for his refusal to pro-
duce the books and papers of the company.
A claim is made that the Chicago, Bur!iDg-
ton & Quincy had been paying rebates to IN
dividuals, and among them c. ID. 5. Galop.
who represents the board of trade firm of y.
II. Warren Il TO.
On this subject Mr. Peasley declined to
talk, on the ground that he might incrimi-
nate himself, and as TO the books ne refused
to produce them because they did not belong
to him, and he was not obliged to incrimi-
nate company he worked for:
This was reported to Judge Blodgett, and
he directed an order to be entered requiring
Mr.. Peasley to show cause why he refused to
produce the documents wanted and answer
questions.
would have to answer the questions and pro-
,duce the books of the railway company per-
tanning TO any transaction with Galop. He
ssiss a. Peasley being only the custodian OF t
the dos~assats would NOT c-i.ninata hia,self
bv giving the necessary testimony. The
ofatd jury had a right to see any evidence
which related to this investigation.

Casting Lots.

TorKKA.-When the state canvassing board
had about completed its work the case of the
tie vote for member of the legislature from
Marion county was reached. The law de-
clares that such vote must be determined
by lot.
II was decided that thirty-tw two ballots should
be prepared, thirty-on of them blank and
one with the word Representative written
upon. This was done and the ballots placed
in hat. Governor Humphrey. who pre-
sided. while sitting at the head of the table,
held the hat above his head. Treasurer Sims
was named to represent Mr.. Maxwell, the
alliance candidate, and Auditor Mccarthy to
represent Mr.. Rood, the republican candi-
date.
Mr.. Sims made the first draw, and the
drawing was continued by each Of the gen.
tlemen drawing ballot out of the hat alter
nately. This continued until twenty nine
blanks had been taken out. 1t was then Nc
Carthy's turn and he drew the thirtieth ballot,
which was the one with the winning word
written upon 1t.
And so Mr.. Rood, republican, represents
Marion county this time.

pal convention for the diocese of Kansas has
been in session at Episcopal Guild hall. Dele
gates were present from the churches of

amounting to S37,s6 For this year he
showed that there were 433 contirmations,

The report showed that Bethany college.
although S37 900 in debt, is in a better con-
dItlon financially than for several years. He
also reported that Christ's hospital has an en-
dowInent of $4,000 and is dong nicely.
1t was decided to change the place and

Talking of patent medicines

Talking Of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0eyytA1xg and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuf," you lose faith in e0s.y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
that's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

1res. It ended with the alliance platform

lures. II ended with the alliance platform
adopted at st. Louis and fraternal organiza-
tions in sympathy with that section to send
delegates to Cincinnati. 1t has been exten-
sively signed by alliance members and by
delegates of other associations"
When asked if the call touched upon other
measures of public policy than the st. Louis
platform, Mr.. Davis SAID:
''Yes. it lays down four propositions with
reference to national reforms, viz: FL
nance, transportation, land and labor.
Further than this, the contents of the call
are not for public announcement as yet. The
call will not be presented to the national alli-
ance for its endorsement as body, but will
be circulated for signatures in thirty six
alliance states, perhaps in all the states of
the union. There was a disposition to take
the call before the national alliance. but
and others discouraged it as a step which
would doubtless result in giving the move
ment distinctlvely alliance character. anG
we do not wish to so construe 1t. The con-
vention will undoubtedly be largely attended
and will result in placing presidential ticke.
in the field in 1892. After securing several
hundred signatures in Kansas. we publish the
call and thus start the movement"

OcAIA, FLA, December Sat the conclu-
sion Of President Polk's address at the nation
al farmers alliance convention the alliance
resolved itself into sort of ''love feast" dur
ing which c. A. Power, and old soldier from
Indiana, moved that all eI-solders in the
hal who endorsed the sentiments expressed
in the speech of President Foulle, of South
Dakota, with reference to the burial of Sec
tionalism, rise up to be counted. The mo-
tion prevailed and between forty and fifty
stood UP amid the widest enthusiasm.
Under the inspiration of this good feeling
an er-union soldier from Wisconsin stood
up IN his seat and called upon all union SOL
diers present to give three cheers for the old
confederates IN the alliance. They were
given with Will.
Then 1t was the confederates' turn, and
they cheered the old soldiers with vim and
heartlness that raised no doubt as to the
GenulneneSs of their feeling. The cheers
ended with a wild old fashioned ''rebe yell. !"
and as It's echos died away one aged veteran
OF the confederacy shouted in a voice that
rang out clearly through the hall: That's
the genuine article; Pve heard it before"

A Great Improvement In Business.
New YoRK, December S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says that strin-
gsaCy in commercial loans is the only re-
naming cause of trade disturbance. There
has been distinct improvement in the dis
positions of the banks and money lenders to
give support to legitimate business, curtail-
ing speculative advances as far as possible.
The volume of trade is surprisingly heavy,
larger than ever before at this season of the
year. With time and spirit of mutual help
fulness, legitimate business should soon re-
cover its normal state of health. The cheap
ness OF cotton at the south and the delay of
winter weather at the north have somewhat
reduced transactions and caused more tardi-
ness in elections than heretofore, but cold
weather and the approach OF the holiday sea-
son already begin to have favorable effect
at many points.
In the south the banks were taking care of
their customers as far as they were able. In
the northwest. while a conservative feeling
appears and money is in sharp demand,
there Is greater ease at Cincinnati and Chi
cago, and necessary advances for legitimate
business are made to the exclusion of specu-
lative demands. The country trade is
healthy, and no fears for the future are ex-
pressed. In general, the volume of trade
throughout the country is so heavy that with
the advance of ~ per cent. in prices since
year ago, larger supplies of money are ab-
sorbe6.
The speculative markets are relatively
higher than week ago: wheat beng shade,
corn %, oil l cent, and pork 25 cents higher.
There is no special change in the great in
dustries. although a more hopeful feeling Is
apparent. Manufacturers are moving with
caution. Labor troubles are very few and
the industry of the country is remarkably
well employed at fair wages.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days
number So, as compared with total of 249
last week. For the corresponding week of
last year the figures were SIC.
