CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS.
A Most Useful and Acceptable
Gift for the Old folks.

1t is an easy matter to pick out gifts
for children. But for the old folks,
" hose wants are few, it is often per-
picking matter to decide Oh a suitable
gift.
What is the real need of the aged?
Something that Will give them new
strength, that will send life's current
springing joyOuslY through their veins,
and regulate the human machinery that
is clOgged and out OF repair. Rev. VIM.
A. Smith, of GrotOn, Conn.,, was 81
years old last October, but he writes:
my appetite is good. My sleep is re-
freshing. My liver is active. Ny bowels
are regular in moving once a day. My
strength is increasing. My crutches
are no longer needed. l can walk with
out a staff Indeed. am daily improv-
ing, and hope that my youth will be re-
newed soon, so that | can walk, run,
ride and work as in by-gOne days.
All this is the result of using Paine's
celery compound. a medicine that my
physician believed was adapted to my
case. And the result has shown his
wisdom"
Nothing can be more valuable and
acceptable gift for those who are grow
ing old than halt dozen bottles of this
Paine's celery compound. 1t is sold by
all druggists, and many physicians pre-
scribe it freely for these who feel that
age is coming on apace.

CHARLTON is MAD.
The Alton Will Make a Cut on
Rates.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-A meeting of the
passenger representatives of the lines
operating between Chicago and Kansas
City was held today. The meeting was
called hastily by Chairman Finley to
consider notice that had been served
on him by General Passenger Agent
Charlton. of the Chicago d Alton. de-
claring that unless the short line rates
from Kansas City to Cincinnati by way
of Chicago were withdrawn within
twenty-four hours, the Alton would
make a reduction of 50 on the rate from
Kansas City to Chicago. No little eX-
element was created by the notice, and
some of the Alton's competitors made
no attempt TO conceal their anger.
The roads chiefly affected by the
proposed blow are the AtchisOn and the
Rock Island, neither of which has st.
Louis outlet to southern Ohio and In
diana points. and can only handle such
business by way of Chicago. The COM
plant made by General Passenger
Agent Charlton is that rates are becOm-
ing seriously demOrallZed by the manip-
ulatiOn of these circuitOuS route tickets
by brokers. He says the Alton must
protect itself. and the only legal way TO
meet the competition of the scalpers is
openly to reduce the rate from $40 to IS
from Kansas City to Chicago, which he
has decided to do unless the short line
rates via Chicago are withdrawn.
The discussion of the matter at the
meeting was stormy but brief. 1t ended
in the absolute refusal of the AtchisOn
road to withdraw the Objectionable
rates. The representative of that road
said: 1--WE will not give up this bust
ness simply because the Alton demands
it. There is no reason in such de-
mand. The Alton people talk loudly
about the manipulation of tickets
through scalpers, but we can produce
evidence to show that they have been
furnishing blocks of tickets to scalperS
at Denver and San Francisco. on which
they realize a net rate-ef only So 50 for
the ride between Kansas City and Chi
cago, against the regular rate of So"
After the meeting General Passenger
| Agent Charlton again notified Chairman
| Finley that he will wait no longer than
| Saturday night before putting his threat
| into execution. The AtchiSOn refuses
| to YIELD and the war will begin with the
| beginning of the new week. An official
| of one of the interested roads said he
would not be surprised to see the rate
| drop to 50 dollars from Kansas City to
| Chicago. Two roads that are ANXIOUS
! to see the Alton gain its point are the
| Big Four and the Pennsylvania, as such
result would settle their fight with
| the Monon.

ENfIGRANT TRAFFIC..
An Early Decision Expected on
Commissions.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-The commission
ers of the Western Traffic association
have adjourned. They expect to give
decision in few days relative TO the
Rock Islands application for relief in
the matter of commissions on emigrant
traffic. A railroad official who attended
the meeting said evidence was placed
before the board showing conclusively
that certain outside lines are paying
commissions on this business largely IN
excess of the association figures. 1t was
stated further that the Canadian Pacific,
the Texas Pacific and several other
roads had made contracts for 1882, by
which they agreed to continue the pay
ment Of these excessive commissions,
while the privilege of withdrawing from
the contract between Johnson & Co. and
the Northern Pacific is also ali obstacle
TO the enforcement of the association
schedule of commissions.

The Burlington Accused Of

Trip Tickets.
Commissions on Emigrant
Traffic an Obstacle to

CHICAGO, Dec. IS.-A bitter and
wOrdy warfare is in progress among
the private cattle car companies which
promises to develOpe into something Sc
rious. The center of attack would
seem to be the Street Stable Car COM
pany. Arrayed against them are sew
eral of the largest cattle shippers who
own car lines of their own, and some OF
the railroads which have gone into the
improved cattle ear business OH their
own account.
The origin of the unpleasantness was
a decision of Judge Gresham some
months ago removing the restrictions
from the use of the feeding and water
ing devices, which, prior to the decision,
has been monopOliZed by the few
companies then controlling the
palace" car business. The patent
rights once removed. anybody was at
liberty to apply the feeding trough to
common cattle cars at an eXpense.Of
few dollars and have his own palace"
cars. I lie result has been the rapid
multiplication of "palace" cattle car
lines and there are now some eighteen
private companies competing for the
trade.
The Burlington, the Pennsylvania,
the New York Central, the Santa Fe.
the Northwestern, the st. Paul, the
Michigan Central. the Pan Handle, and
the Lackawanna have also established
their own "palace" car lines, evidently
growing tired of sending fat mileage
checks to these corporations, and are re-
modelling their old stock cars into pal
ace" cars.
S. W. Allerton, the "cattle king" is
leading the attack on the part Of the
shippers, withlthe charge that theiStreet
company is violating the interstate COM
merce regulations in favor of certain
shippers by paying back to them part
of their mileage in order TO get Omaha
and Kansas City business. He also pre-
fers other charges against the Street
company. Both sides 10 the controversy
are using the columns of the local press
freely, adding fuel to the bitterness
engendered.

THE 20" ACCUSED
OF Selling Illegal Round-Trip
Tickets.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-A meeting was
held this afternoon at Chairman Fin
ley's Office to hear complaints made by
the Rock Island road against the Bur
lington, in which the latter is accused
of cutting rates between Chicago and
Denver by the secret sale of round-trip
tickets. 1t is claimed that in a half
dozen cases the return portions of such
tickets have been found In brokers'
offices. AS no road in the Western Pas
senger association has authority under
the existing agreement to sell round
trip tickets between Chicago and Den
yer, the Rock Island asks for relief.
