A Waterway Wanted to Join the
 Mississippi With Lake Superior.
 ST. PAUL, Dec. 1S.-The St. Paul Cham Der of Commerce is pushing scheme to build canal connecting the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers with Lake Superior, and bills asking for a big appropriation will be introduced in congress at this ses- sion. The scheme is to take an arm of the Mississippi to the St. Croix at Saltwater and follow branch of the St. Croix through Northwestern Wisconsin, going thence by a portage of mile to the Black river, and by the latter stream to Lake | Superior. The canal would be built wide and deep enough to carry the largest whale back boats on the lakes. Then by making | improvements on the Mississippi below Hastings, boats would be enabled to load at St. Paul, and by shooting the rapids oi the St. Lawrence, carry their loads tc Liverpool or, on the other hand, take 6 load of goods at Superior and carry it tc l St. Louis or New Orleans.

Forty Europeans in the Hands of
 mahdists at Omdurman-Slatin Bey
 still Alive.
 CAIRO, Dec. 1S.-Father Oherwalder, one of the Austrian missionaries, who have arrived at Korosko, near Wady-Halfa, af- ter escaping from the hands of the Mahdists, states that forty Europeans are still held in captivity at Omdurman. These captives are loaded with menacles and of ten cruelty beaten, and are so strictly guarded that they have lost all hope of ever being able to escape. The priest says that food in the Soudan is now cheap. He declares, however, that the people are tired of st1ife and desired to have the Egyptian government of the country re- stored He ayers that the dervishes are los ing their ascendancy. He says that they have & big camp at Fahoda that their posi- ton there is strengthened by the possession of steamer, but that they dare not ven- ture far from the Nile for fear of being at tackled by the hitherto friendly tribes Father Oberwalder also states that the province of Dorfur, which was formerly | overrun by the dervishes, has been de- serted by them and is infested by wild | beasts Slatin Bey, he says, is still alive, | and belongs to the body guard of the Mahdi's successor, but is closely watched.

CoNCENsUs OF OPINION
Regarding Present Condition O.
Iowa Roads,

Dies MONIES, To-, March ga local
paper this morning published a sympo-
sium OF opinion OH the present railway
situation in Iowa, the causes for de-
preston and the prospect for the future.
Questions are answered by General
Manager l.. M. Martin, of the Des
Moines 81 Northwestern, who speaks
for the third class roads; President ROS-
we'll Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee
d ST. Paul; Judge Hubbard, OF the Chi
cago Il Northwestern, and General Man
ager st. John, of the Chicago. Rock ISL
and d Pacific. President Miller's re-
marks cover the ground taken by all
pretty well. He says:
''Some Of our lines in Iowa pay fair
income on the capital invested, as they
are OH the direct tranScOntinental lines
and do interstate traffic, but take our
Iowa lines as whole and they do not
pay a fair income on the capital in
vested, nor anywhere near it. Our sta
tIstics will show even as to the trans
continental lines that the amount of
business contributed to them by the
state of Iowa is less than one-fifth of the
entire business. The only cause for it
is contributed is that there are too many
railroads competing for the same bust
ness, the natural result of which is an
unreasonable division of rates. You
will understand this to be an
incidental cause. The prime
causes of the unfavorable conditions
are radical legislation and constant
pressure by the commissioners. They
are doing two things-endeavori 10

producing more serious disaster than
the present conditions, and second, cur
failing expenditures of an operating

known that many shippers receive or
ders from Eastern buyers to forward
their grain over the Lackawanna line of
which the Nickel Plate is the Chicago
connection. Of course, this is under
stood to mean that the Lackawanna is
influencing business by paying rebates,
or absorbing lighterage charges, in the
interest of the consignee who orders the
property so routed, but it does not APP
pear that any etfectual means have
been devised for putting a stop to
this irregularity. The shipments Of
flour, grain and provisions from
Chicago to the seaboard last week ag-
gregated A, 131 tons, against 4O,5SS for
the week previous, au increase OF 3,543
tons, and against 56,977 for the cor
responding week last year, a decrease
of 12,S46 tons. As the Nickel Plate Sc

character within the strictest possible
limits. AS to the future, there seems to
be no encouragement in it whatever
The conditions are not such as to en-
courage investment of capital, and it is
we'll known that capital is naturally
timid."
Judge Hubbard thinks the principal
cause of depression in business for
Iowa roads is the want of crops to haul.
There are too many trunk lines between
Chicago and Missouri river points, and
Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis. The
total number is twenty-three, and half
of that number would be ample to do
the business.
General Manager st. John sums up as
follows: at is probable that the only
good result which can follow the pres
ent condition of railroads is that no new
lines Will be built in Iowa. With secur-
tiles of the only lines which pay dlvi-
dends selling in the market at a dis
count of from 40 to 80 per cent, with
dividends at the lowest ebb and with
only 25 per cent of the lines in Iowa
paying a dividend, there is no DISPOSE
ton to construct new lines, and to do so
would be folly. 1t is known that capital
is too limited to submit it to the uncer-
taintIes of legislative and state official
control which now surrounds railroad
prOSperitV."

I rate on mileage tickets. Chairman Fin
ley has gone to New Orleans, but he
had previously assured the Alton peo-
pie that his decision would be ready
when called for, and Secretary Thomp-
son will give it out tomorrow morning.
The ruling is in the Alton's favor,
authorizing it to put into effect rate of
two cents a mile to the purchasers of
mileage tickets. This authority, of
course. extends to all lines in the West
ern Passenger association. There is
considerable comment as to the cause
of the Jacksonville Southeast
ern's failure to fulfill that
part of the agreement requiring
it to furnish list Of its outstanding
tickets. 1t is supposed that President
Hook became incensed at the ATOMS
demand that the market be absolutely
cleared of these tickets before March 26
and concluded to make no further at
tempt to harmonic matters. A railroad
man said to-day there was no doubt the
Jacksonville Southeastern had sold the
tickets in question for the purpose of
raising money 10 put into improvements.
TO buy them back again would cost
good deal more than was originally re-
ceived for them. and it is limited that
there is not enough ready cash at the
presidents command to make the pur-
chase.
at has been ascertained," said the
railroad man i'll question, that the
actual number of these outstanding
tickets is 418 of the mileage form, and
LOCO of the unlimited one way tickets.
| fear they will not be redeemed unless
the Atchison puts up the money. The
alternative is two-cent rate for mile
age tickets throughout the territory of
the Western Passenger association, and
a continuation of the present war rate
of 1915 between Chicago and st. Louis"

| players feel weak and exhausted after q
| friendly game-in many cases too tired
| to eat. Nature is pushed too far, and
the excessive exercise makes a drain
upon the system that can be remedied
by no ordinary means.
The above remarks were occasioned
by recent interesting talk with Mr..
George Wright. of the well known firm
of Wright IL Ditson, dealers in athletic
supplies, $50 Washington street, Boston.
There is no man in America better
known, or who has contributed more to
the cause of true athletics, than Mr..
the king of Base Ball PIayerS," and
even to-day he has few equals in all
that goes to make up good physique and
manhood. Although he gave up play
ing base ball ten years ago. he continues
to enjoy cricket, being prominent
member and player of one of the lead
ing New England clubs. In the course
of his remarks he said:
During the past spring l did not feel
in the best of health. 1 do not mean to
say that this is strange, because most
people during the past season have been
out of sorts, but l was troubled with a
tired, languid feeling, thing quite I'M
usual to me. l was not what might be

friend recommended me to try some
thing of which he spoke in the highest
terms. | am in the habit of relying on
my constitution to bring me through,
but l determined to follow my friends
advice. l must say l am glad L did so,
for found it benefited me greatly, and
am taking it now even while out of
doors and INDUCING in my regular ex-
ercise. That is what Paine's Celery
Compound did for me-"
The experience of Mr.. Wright fur
nishes an exceedingly valuable lesson,
and especially to all New Englanders.
1t shows that, no matter how good the
constitution and how perfect the health,
there are times when WEAKNESS, over
work and exhaustion demand that nat
ure must have assistance.
1t proves that when such times coms
the best and the most modern of scien-
tific discoveries should be used, rather
than any cheap noStrum. 1t proves that
this grand Compound which has done so
much for restoring the health, preserv-
ing the strength and prolonging the
life of thousands of people, is worthy of
the highest confidence, and it should
become, as it already has become in
numberleSs cases, "household rem
edy."

HOW TO GET STRONG.
What One of the Leading Amer
lean Athletes Says.

America leads the world In all ath-
letic sports, and New England leads
America"
The above remark, made by the presi-
dent of one of our New England col
leges, is true. There never was an age,
even in classical times, when so much
attention was given to and enthusiasm
displayed about, athletics as at the pres
ent time. Men, women and children
are enthusiastic over them. People of
all ages and both sexes play lawn ten
mis- until they are wearied; pull row.
boats until they are fatigued, and APP
plaud trained athletes in base ball and
other games until they are exhausted.
1t has become a craze.
