WANT TO KNOW.
BOycotters of the Alton Ask Some
Questions.

Questions.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Evidence is not
wanting that the board of rulings of the
Trunk Line and Central Traffic ascot
ations is putting forward the most siren
uous efforts to make effective the boy
colt against the Chicago q Alton rail-
road. Following is copy of circular
that has been sent to the managers of
the Eastern and Western roads, signed
by G. r. Goddard, Blanchard, F. C.
Farmer and F. c. Donald:
Advices from foreign lines have recently
been received by the board to the effect that
certain companies, parties to the joint COM
mlttee agreements of Jan. Q, are not MAIN
tanning them in every particular. The board
Will feel obliged If you will kindly advise il
of the present attitude of your company
upon the following points:
Flrst-lS your company paying passenger
commissions at any point within or beyond
The territory of the joint committee? If so,
Will you kindly Indicate where.
Second-Has your company issued orders
TO Its agents not to receive commissions on
the tickets sold by you over the route of
roads which desire or seek to continue to
pay such commissions!
Ihird-Have You directed your agents to
discontinue the acceptance of commissions
or money as rewards for the sale of tickets!
Fourth-Do you continue to sell tickets
over the route of the Chicago Il Alton?
Fifth-If you have not already discontinued
the sale of tickets sold via or by the Chicago
u Alton, will you not kindly advise us that
you will discontinue such interchange of
business.
1t seems desirable to the board that the
orders that have been issued by the large
majority of the joint committee, providing
for the non-payment and non-acceptance of
commissions as well as the discontinuance
of the passenger relations with the Chicago
4 Alton. shall now be made general. We
have fully reviewed our former correspond
ence on this subject, but the purpose of this
inquiry is to Still further endeavor to induce
you to conform to the policy of the Joint
committee and give us detailed advices on
the points indicated
The above letter is, of course, a pri-
vate and confidential communication to
those to whom it is addressed. Many
of the managers who have received it
regard 1t as the last effort of the board
of rulings to mosticate the inconvenient
mouthful it has bitten off. They look
upon it as the expiring breath of the
boycott, and predicate that the Atoms
victory is close at hand.

Gently completed Canadian Pacific line
from Mission Station to this city. This
shortens the distance about 200 miles
and cuts off the ocean trip from Van

haven instead of at Vancouver. Fair
haven-now has two rail connections
with the Canadian Pacific, the other be-
ing the Great Northern branch running
from here to New Westminster.

BREAK IN SHARES.

CHICAGO, June 24.-There was a
break of 81 points in North Chicago
street railroad shares here to-day, from
17O1z at the opening to 165. A we'll
posted banker attributes it to a tight
money market. Much of this stock is
deposited with the banks as collateral.
The loans secured by it are now falling
due, and the bankers. Influenced by the
tightness of the money market, will not
renew the loans. This has forced the
owners to throw their shares on the
market, thus driving down the price,
The company, it is said, was never do
ing so good business as now.

Purchase.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 24.-The negotia-
tiOns for the purchase by the Dubuque
IL Sioux City railroad company of the
Cedar Falls d Minnesota bonds, which
had been brought to point where the
price for the bonds was satisfactory to
all the parties, have been broken Off be-
cause the Dubuque & Sioux City rail
road will not pay the $125,0 900 demanded
by the Cedar Falls q Minnesota rail-
road, their trustee and bondholders'
committee, for fees and expenses of lit
igatiou. The Dubuque & Sioux City
Railroad company was willing to pay its

been appealed to the supreme court of
the United States.

ONE WOMAN.

Let the curtain fall
over her pail,
That is all.
She had no glorious name;
Hers was the humber fame
To live in solitude,
Unwrit, and there do gOoG,
As women do
Whose lives are true,
Whose hearts are Wrung,
Whose nerves uHstrung;
Who suffer every i'll,
And yet are still.
She watered the years
With her tears;
Her hands were ever stretched to bless
Some one in greater Indebtedness,
If such there were. She did not ask;
She only knew her task,
And did it, not as as any man,
Only as God and woman can.
Let the curtain fall
over her pail
That is all.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I have been for a few
days in that portion Of the counties of
Pitt, Martin, Beaufort and Edgec0mbe
which is known as the Bear Grass
NeighbOrhood, whereit was my happy
privilege to witness the marriage, at
$50 p, M, Wednesday, June 10th, of
Mr.. James G. Bailey to Miss Lucinda
Rogerson. The walters were: Mr.. inc.
W. Bailey with Miss Eunice RogersOn,

with the best wishes of their many
friends.
Six-eighths of the land in this Sec

members in good standing. While
some among our member r careless
and Indifferent, there are many who
stand tried and true and are earnestly
e~ndeavoring to support the cause faith
fully and r ready to work together
for the good Of the order. I think if
more of our male members were read
ers of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER they
would be more fully aroused to a sense
of duty and would be ready to put
their shoulders to the wheel and push
like men. But l am sorry to say that
not half our members I subscribers
for yours or any other Alliance paper.
The crops through this section, ex-
cept a few places that were damaged
considerable by hail, are looking very
well for our poor land, and the farm
ers are toiling on, hoping for a good
reward for their labor in the fall.
Your humble servant,
MRS. III. n. WARD.
