DEAR HOwARDs:
I've been thinking much OF late
of our walters. and where they re from,
I've been thinking too quite seriously
OF changing my nom.
Some will call me foolish.
Others tickle, doubt,
And csnsure me severely
For changing thus about.
The reason I adopted IT,
Twas pet name Of my youth,
The name knew at my mothers knee;
You've not condemned me in truth
did not think of imposing
Upon ye HowSrds rough shod,
Or aimed to pose before you
As modern demi-god.
But have yet another,
Though ill-suited as you'll see,
like 1t best. and tell you why.
(Fof the friends that gave ii me-
They do me too much honor,
have no doubt you'll think,
To me applied, tits meaningless,
just kind of an exta link
In a chain Of circumstances
That mad US lifelong friends.
treasure too n thought not new
That friendship never ends.
Somo trivial trust from the fslsest heart
Nav sever the earthly vow,
But at the grave they unite again,
It's death that tells us how.
But list, / know you've wanderings,
So, BY consent you'll know

CHICAGO, March 24.-Railroad men are
cOngratuiating themselves over the de-
feat in several states of measures hos
tile to the interests of railway corpora
lions that have been introduced in the
legislatures. Roswell Miller'S clear cut
argument before the Wisconsin legis-
latvc committee is supposed to have
been the death blow to the two-cent rate
III that state. And similar bills in other
states have met with premature death
or disastrous defeat. But in Illinois
the fight has not yet been settled, and
several bills of vital interest to the
railroads of the state are yet to
be passed upon by the legislature.
One of these, the bill for maxi
mum passenger rate of two cents mile,
VIII meet with the united opposition OF
the roads. 1t is contended that such
law would be disastrous blow at the
prosperity OF the railways, aud elab-
crate and forcible arguments have been
prepared opposing the passage of the
law, which VIII be presented TO the leg
lslature at the proper time. Another
Dill which will meet with determined
opposition is that introduced at the in
stIgatiOn of railroad employees to make
companies responsible for any injury
received by an employee while on duty,
whether the injury is received through
the negligence of the company OF It's
employees.

factor in The stock market this morning.

the notice of Jan. IL, and demanding
either denial or confirmation of the

replied that as no specific charge is
made no specific answer can be given :;
that they have not intended to ignore

not asking for them. They contend,

out. AS there is not tine most absolute
harmony among the roads that are
parties to the agreement. AT the New
York meeting resolution providing
for the discharge of any ticket agent Of
an Eastern road caught accepting COM

no penalty is provided for the agents
who accept commissions, it is proposed
to punish the lines that pay them. This

Tourists Rates.

CHICAGO, March 24.-The Northwest
ern roads are having considerable diff
Guilty in deciding upon summer tourist
rates between Chicago and st. Paul.
Some of the lines are in favor of round
trip rate of $50, the same that was in eff
feet last year, while others want to
make the rate $3.50 in order to shut out
the scalpers. Still others are opposed
to the making of tourist rates to st. Paul
and Minneapolis proper. The commit
tee having the matter in charge made a
majority and minority report at a
meeting OF the interested lines this aft
ernOOn. No agreement could be reached
and another committee of seven was ap-
pointed to consider the question and re-
port at the next regular meeting of the
Western Passenger association.

LA GRIPPE IN CHICAGO.
Unprecedented Ravages of the
Endemic.

LDlueD1lC.
CHICAGO, March 24.-The grip epi-
demic is undated in this city and the
mortality continues appalling. Up to
midnight deaths for two weeks aggre-
gated 1,540, or thirty-five per thousand,
which is unprecedented in the history
Of Chicago. Nearly all died from eli
mratic complaints. Drug stores have
been compelled to increase their force
of clerks. Undertakes are crowded
with work, and many funerals are TAX
ing place as early as Z a. N. and as late
as twilight. The hospitals of the Alex
ian Brothers, the German Brothers; the
Augustana, st. Joseph's and the
Presbyterian hospitals, which usual
ly take only accidents or paid
patients, have opened their doors
doors to the victims of the grip and are
crowded. Eight physicians of the
German hospital were taken down yes
terday, and seyenty-two nurses OF the
Illinois Training School for Nurses who
have been mlnistering to the sick have
succumbed since Saturday, and some
are in a critical condition. At the
women's and cliildren's hospital, out of
staff of forty physicians, nurses and
attendants, all but five are unfit for
duty. The physicians are in hopes that
the disease will wear itself out, but all
say that until there is change in the
weather no great improvement can be
pYnpcted

Poultry Notes.

The following notes are from Rural
Life:
Make your nests large and low so that
he hen will not break the eggs in get

w hen large turkeys are wanted, both
the gobbler and the hen should be of
good size and possess the qualities de-
sired in the offspring. Using. large
gObbler with small hens will not pro-
duce the best results.
There Is an old saying, used in times
of war. 'Trust 10 Providence and keen
your powder dry" Our advice in pouI-
try keeping is almost the same, with
only this change: Trust to Providence

EPIDEMIC OF sNEEZING.
Two Severe Cases Reported From
Adjoining States.

SPRINGFIELD, o., March 24.-At South
Charleston, village few miles from
this city, May Christrum was affected
with violent spell of sneezing last
Wednesday, and the paroxysms have
continued at intervals ever since. The
girl can neither eat nor sleep owing to
the sneezlng. She is now in an ex-
hausted condition, and there are fears
that she cannot recover. Physicians say
that the strange affection is the result of
the grip.
KoKoMo, Ind. March 24.-NIiss Emma
Bingamin, who lives one mile northeast
of this city, was taken with severe at
tack of sneezing yesterday. During the
attack, which lasted four hours before
medical relief was secured, she sneezed
over 1000 times, which has so exhausted
her that her recovery is doubtful.

CHICAGO, March 24-Everything in the

TO one OF selling. and all of the sharp ad-

GOULD'S BIG SCHEME.
Proposition to Unite the Leading
Railway Systems.

New YORK, March 24.-The scheme
to unite the great railroad systems of
the West and Southwest under one gen.
eral management is making some prog
ress. The financial departments of the
Union Pacific. the Atchison, the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Central Pacific, and
the Pacific Mail company are preparing
detailed statement showing the condi-
ton and the earning capacity of their
respective properties. These state
ments are to form the basis upon which
the relative value of each property is to
be determined. The plan is to form a
new corporation, with capital stock
large enough to cover all interests that
may be willing to join. There will be
no competition, ard joint agencies will
replace individual agencies wherever
such thing is possible. Conferences
between Gould. Huntington and the At
Gibson people are of frequent occur
renee.

CHICAGO, March PA meeting of
the Southwestern lines was held to-day
to consider a proposition to make the
same freight rates from Milwaukee that
are in force from Chicago on traffic des-
tined to Texas points via st. LOUIS.
Heretofore the rates from Milwaukee
have been higher than from Chicago,
the difference being cents on first
class, 5 cents on second class, cents on
third. cents OH fourth and cents on
the remaining classes. All the roads
except the Chicago q Alton agreed to a
revision Of the percentage, SO that the
same rates could be made to apply from
Milwaukee and Chicago. The Alton re-
fused to agree to this, on the ground
that it would be an injustice to Chicago
shippers, and it notified the other lines
that, whatever rates they might make
from Milwaukee, it would preserve the
usual ditferentials from Chicago.
