A CHICAGO TERMINUS.
An Old Rumor Concerning the
Canadian Pacific.


CHICAGO, March 25.-The old rumor
that the Canadian Pacific is seeking an
entrance to Chicago is being renewed,
with every Indication that the road will
accomplish that result. But instead of
only getting a Chicago opening for its
Canadian business, the road will play
an important part in through New
YorkWeStern freight and passenger
traffic. Under the guise of the Queens
town & Niagara Railway and Bridge
company, the Canadian Pacific has ap-
piled to the Canadian parliament for per-
mission to build road between Niagara
Falls on the American side and St.
GATHERINGS, terminal point. On the
American side, road between Niagara
Falls and Buffalo is projected. The
rumOr current in railroad circles is that
there the Canadian Pacific will unite
with the Lackawanna, thus giving to
the latter the long-sought-for Western
connection. At the Western terminus
of the Canadian Pacific, Detroit, the
Wabash will be brought in, and thus
form great trunk line between New
York and Chicago. Such an addition
at the present time to the through lines
can hardly be said to be desirable or
opportune. The continued depression
in traffic business shows no necessity of
another line, and the addition of anoth-
er would merely add another mouth to
be fed bY the West

NEBRASKA RATE LAW
Traffic Officials Alarmed at

A Bill Which Reduces Local
Schedules Fully Twenty
Per Cent.
Rumop That the Canadian

Terminus,

Sugar Rates.

CHICAGO, March 25.-The traffic of
ficials of some Of the Western roads
have been figuring out the effect of the
maximum freight rate law, just passed
by the Nebraska legislature. and are
not little alarmed at the result. The
bill reduces the local freight rates in
that state fully 20 cents, and If it be-
comes operative there will be no pos
siblity of keeping rates up to Iemun-
erative basis in any part of the Western
and Northwestern territory. When
Iowa rates were reduced by act Of
legislature, it was possible for the COM
panies to locallZe the evil by combining it
to traffic in the state. A similar law in
Nebraska enfOrceS the reduction in two
adjoining states, covering a distance of
about 200 miles east and west. Through
rates by way of Omaha must be reduced
to at least the basis of the sums of the
locals which will necessarily pull
down all rates between Chicago and
Nebraska, Iowa, Utah and Montana
points and play havoc with the revenues
of the roads penetrating that territory.
Furthermore. corresponding reductions
will have to be made between Chicago
and ST. Paul and between Chicago and
st. Louis so that all the Western roads
will be equally affected with those di-
rectly interested in Iowa and Nebraska
business. The traffic officials of the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Bur-
lington and the Rock Island are agreed
if the Nebraska law is enforced it will
be disastrous to the roads during the
present year, and will prevent them
fixed charges even when the crops are
not failure. There is possibility
that the roads will combine to fight the
law Oh the ground that it is .unconstitu-

The Magnificent Park Hotel ofHot
Springs, Ark,

Among the many improvements made
at Hot Springs, Ark, during the last
few years the splendid Park hotel easily
ranks first. 1t occupies the highest
point in a natural park of ten acres out
in the large valley of the Ouachita river,
fronting the entrance to the smaller
valley in which the springs are located.
The views in all directions are either of
frowning mountain peaks, shadowy
gorges. beautiful valleys. wild and
dashing streams, or silyery rolling
rivers.
The building, with its, four stories of
guests rooms, is composed of brick.
stone, and steel, making it absolutely
fire-prOof. The guests rooms number
275. all fronting the exterior of the
building and all most desirable i'll re-
spect to light, outside views, closets and
bath appointments, etc. The carpets,
decorations and furniture are Of the lat
est and most fashionable designs, and
they are the best that money could pur-
chase. The rotunda and Office is a work
in French tiles and the richest marbles :;
the ladies' parlors are in decoration and
furniture equal to those of the famous
Ponce de Leon, of Florida.

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.


Avoid draughts and sudden changes Of
temperature.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing
too soon. 1t is better to suffer little incon-
venience than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable to
contract bad cold or chill at this season of
the year.
A cough or cold contracted between the
seasons is the most annoying kind, and may
last through the summer.
If you feel cough or cold coming on,
take drink of pure whiskey at once. 1t will
keep the blood in circulation and is the best
preventive against the diseases of the season.
Remember that only PURE whiskey should
be taken Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has the
strongest recommendations from the leading
scientists and medical men. 1t is the only
standard medicinal whiskey. Take no other
from YOUR druggist or grocer

pose it would be at the opening. At the first
dash wheat went higher than the closing
last night. Too much was against 1t to hold,
and later prices fell with general shaking
out. The market was about the middle Of
the day for May some 2L2c lower than Tues
day. AS the bulge of the previous day was
CAUSED by the shorts run in 80 the break
was caused by longs ''shook out" The

Cash wheat was active and relatively

and with an active demand from local mill
ers for good wheat such lots were cleaned up

few very choice cars brought I2c over Some
early sales were made ut $1.00I2, but S1.01

Chicago Railway Men Watching
His Sugar Rates,


CHICAGO, March 25.-lt transpires
that the line quoting the Accent rate on
sugar from the seaboard to Kansas City
in connection with the Missouri Pacific
roads the Kenawha Dispatch. operating
over the Chesapeake & Ohio. The re-
duction is eight cents per 100 pounds.
1t is reported here today that the Mis-
souri, Pacific shrinks its proportion five
cents and the Keuawha Dispatch three
cents, but nobody appears to have any
positive information on that point.
There is little doubt that the
Missouri Pacific will claim its
Eastern connection is entirely respon-
sible for the reduction and will be able
to show that it is receiving its full pro-
portion of this business. The matter is
to be investigated and will probably
come up before the board of commits
sioners at to-morrow's meeting There
is an agreement among the Western
roads to divide the sugar traffic both by
way of st. Louis and Chicago; and the
Burlington, the Alton and the Wabash
will demand their full proportion OF the
business by way of st. Louis at the full
tariff rate of IS cents per hundred
pounds. This, however, will not pre-
vent diversion of the business from the
Chicago routes, and there is sure
to be row unless rates are
speedily adjusted on non
discriminative basis. Railroad men
here are growing more and more suS-
spicious OF Gould every day. and they
do not acquit the Missouri Pacific of an
Intentional violation of its agreement in
allowing the new sugar tariff to go into
effect. The ten years traffic contract
between the Chicago & Northwestern
and Union Pacific had not been canceld.
but since Gould acquires the control of
the latter road it is claimed that the
provisions of the agreement are practi-
cally ignored, and that whenever it is
possible the Union Pacific is turning
over its through business to the Mis-
souri, Pacific. Another charge made
against the Union Pacific is that it is
making the same rates on certain com
modlties from Memphis to Kansas City
by way of st. Louis that are in effect
from st. Louis to Kansas City.
