SENT TO THE DUNGEON.
Obstreperous Prisoner, with Whom the
Police Had Lot Of Trouble.

Frank Powell, exceedingly belligerent
young man who was possessed with the
idea that he could whip the entire police
force, had his mind disabused by officer.

officers found Powell upon the street in
dulging in unseemly profanity. and when
demonstrated with by them he refused to
obey their commands TO desist He was
promptly placed under arrest, and then
attempted to annihilate both officers but
allied signally. Officer Knauss used his
mace upon the too belligerent young man,
after which he subsidized somewhat.
When he was brought into the police
station he began a TRADE of abuse upon
the officers, applying TO them all manner
or vile epfthets, and was so boiSterouS that

TranscontinentaI Rates PeriIed.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-There is a strong
probability that transcontinental rates may
be demoraliZed before long. The recent
cuts made by the Canadian Pacific and the
additional reductions which are to go into
effect on Nov. 27 have made the other Pa
cifc coast lines decidedly restless. and it
is not at all likely that they will stand the
reductions for a much longer period with
out resorting to active reprisals. In view
of the near approach of the midwinter fair
they cannot afford to allow the Canadian
Pacific 20 drag off the lions share Of the
business. The Canadian line declares that
1t is compelled to take the action it has be-
cause of the conduct of the Southern Pa
ciic, which absolutely refuses to accept
any business made over its line made by
the Canadian Pacific. y committee of the
Western Passenger Association lines is now
making an effort to adjust matters with the
Southern Pacific, and if this cannot be done
there will be nothing left for the other
transcontinental lines but to join i'm the
scramble for the Pacific coast business.
