THE PROPOSED TONNAGE POO.

CHICAGO, Dec. All that has been done
towards the establishment of a tonnage
pool in the territory west of Chicago is
likely to be undoue. While all the roads
agree that a division of competitive traffic
Is the surest means of securing the proper
maintenance of rates. they are not agreed
as TO how the division should be made,
nor as to the territory and traffic 10 be IN
Cluded 1t is true that the committee of
managers having the matter in charge has
succeeded in adopting certain portions of
the proposed agreement, covering south
western, western and Colorado business,
but even in those portions II was necessary
to pass temporarily the item of livestock.
The roads terminating at the Missouri
river, such as the Chicago aud Alton, the -.
Paul and the Chicago Great Western, in
sist that all livestock shipments, no matter
where they originate should be divided a.
he. Missouri river, on the same basis as
other traffic originating there. The Atchl-
son, the Rock Island and the Burlington
would not consent TO this. Since they
have been to the expense of building and
maintaining roads IN that part OF the
country, they account as absurd the de-
mnnd OF the Missouri river terminal lines
for an equal share of the business at Kan
sas City and Omaha.
Still another formidable obstacle con-
fronts the managers Of the northwestern
territory. 1t transpires that the Chicago
and Nor hwsslsru and the Chicago, Mil
wsukee and St. Paul roads are not aux-
ious TO include this territory in the pool,
as to do so would be to rellnqulsh some
advantages which they now possess over
their competitors. They will probably
argue that the refusal of the Great North
ern to subscribe TO any agreement will
make il impossible for them TO apply the
pooling scheme to that particular region.
But the northwest must he included. or
there viii be no tonnage pool. That Is
the determination of the Burlington, the
Chicago Great Western and other COM
petit0rs of the two big systems between
Chicago and St. Paul. That portion Of
the managers committee representing the
northwestern lines will meet next Mouuay
10 talk over the situation. Another meet

be held unHl called 10y Chairman MIdgley.

ing branches of veteran banyan tree
that formed part of the forest bor-
dering the glade where he had aroused
his foe. He reached the tree, and by
mighty effort swung himself on limb,
just in time to escape the horns of the
buffalo as he passed beneath him at
race-horse speed Williams had clung
to his little muzzle-loading fowlipg
piece in his fight, and even in his wild
leap into the tree had retained his
clutch upon it. His hunters ire was fully
reused, and when the angry old bull re-
turned and charged around under the
tnee, making frantic efforts to reach
the hunter, Williams cursed the luck
that had brought him into such COM
pauy with no weapon heavier than
little fowling piece in his hands. 1t
was by no means comfortable perched
astride the limb. and the wrath of the
hunter soon equaled. if it did not sur
pass, that of the animal that was act
ing as his iailer. and with his wits
rendered sharper by the strait he was
in, he set to devising some method Of
escape.
Feeling in all his pockets in hopes of
finding stray bullet with which he
might at least hope to give forcible
hint to his captor that his further pres
ence was not wanted, which hint the
light bird shot he carried for Jungle fowl
was wholly incapable of conveying, he
found ir his vest pocket a small iron
ball, prob ably the little iron knob from
the point of a picket in an ornamental
iron fence, which his son and heir had
placed there. With eager hands he ap-
piled it to the muZzle of his gun, and
found that it readily fitted the bore OF
the piece. Then pouring in a double
charge of powder, he carefully rolled
the ball down on top Of the charge and
placed light wad of paper over it to
hold it in place.
The next thing was to bring the buff
falo as near as possible so as to give to
the light smooth bore every chance to
do its best work against the hard skull
of the animal This was not difficult
matter, for the lapse of time did not
appe ar'to cool the anger of the brute
in the least, and at the first motion
Williams made to attract his attention
he came charging directly beneath his
prisoner, and, paving the earth, made
frantic motions at him with his great
horns. This was just what Williams
wanted, and, leaning as far down as he
dared, he waited until the buffalo
raised his head and turned his glaring

If you're satisfied with words, you

that, you get a guarantee. If it

Some Figures and Facts.
In compliance with the request of the

different orders of railway employees of
the state, Labor Commissioner BettOn
in his report for 1891, now ready for the
printer, hasosucceeded in procuring re-
ports from engineers and conductors,
representing $500 trips, made during
the year 1891. has thoroughly analyzed
them, and the results are su omitted in a
series of tables. These tables show the
hours on duty, number of miles run,
wages earnGlSard in short all the de-
tails affecting the work of the large
number of men engaged in train SER
vice. They are very complete, and the
ANALYSIS is exhaustive, and cannot fail to
prove of inestimab BILE value to that large
and respectable class of workers upon
whose Judgment and care devolves the
lives and safety of so many of their fell
low citizens. IL this report the en-
gineer freely tells of the difficulties,
dangers and responsibilities which be-
set his vocation, and which, as the
commissioner we'll says, are family re-
allied by the mass of the travelling pub
lie. This is the first attempt yet made
by any labor bureau % obtain full
and comprehensive statement from the
men themselves: and although many
difficulties were encountered, they were
finally to large degree overcome, and
the results obtained are reliab and
absolutely accurate. The investiga-
ton involved a vast amount of CORE
spondence, necessitating personal COM
munication with upwards of 100 en-
gineers and conductors regarding the
details of their work.

McLoUTH, Kan, June 11.-Miss Mary
Willis, daughter of Hon. John E. Will
hts, committed suicide yesterday morn
ing by drowning herself in stock pond
at the home farm near this city She
was suffering from temporary insanity.
Last October Miss Willis had a severe
attack of the grip, from which she had
never recovered. She had been in de-
Ginning health ever since This caused
dependency and occasional spells of in
sanity. Thursday she was noticed to
De more restless than usual and wanted
10 wander about. Some member of the
FAMILY was continually with her in her
rambles to see that she did not attempt
TO take her own life, as this was sus-
pected to be her purpose. She went to
bed with one of her sisters over night at
the usual hour, and it was supposed she
would be no further trouble for the
night.
About 1 o'clock yesterday morning
Mrs. Willis heard some one go out OF
doors, but supposed it to be one of the
boys After waiting several minutes
and hearing no one come back into the
house she arose, went to the boys room
and found them both in bed. She then
went to the girls room, where she
found that Mary was absent She at
once aroused all the children and made
search for her daughter, bat she was
nowhere to be found
The neighborhood was alarmed and
many united in the search. After day
light j. w. Rice, a neighbor, found the
girls shoes on the bank of the pond
near spring board, from which the
boys We're wont to dive when swim
ming, and her tracks We're PLATA to the
end of the board. The water at this
part of the pond was eight feet deep.
About two feet of water was at once
let out by means of the sluce, when
Elijah Fowler waded in, found and
brought out the body.
Miss Willis was about 26 years of
age, had been 40 successful school
teacher for number OF years and was
highly respected in the community.
Her father. Hon. John +. Willis, was
at Bloomfield, Ia, where he was lectur-
ing TO the alliance.
