Rate Decentralization.

Chicago Herald, 9Th
Taking the United States as a whole.
there never was such widespread democrat
ization In passenger rates For the most
part the dc moralizauon is caused by secret
rate cutting and comparatively few open
reductions have been made. Scalpers,
Immigrant agents and other mlddlemen are
the only ones to profit by the demoraliga
ton. The public is compelled to pay prnc-
Ideally run rates while the net rates TO the
railroads Is as great as If an open war
were in progress.
1t is hard to tell where the east bound
decentralization began, but the Pennsyl-
Nania is now setting the pace for all COM
peutors. 1t Is not only meeting any and
all cut rates by competing lines. but Is
making matters especially obnoxious by
inventing additional means Of adding TO
the decentralization. Ii is openly ignoring
all agreements and in the matter OF par
" rates Is simply taking the business Mt
any rates 1t is necessary TO make That
this rate is less than a cent and a half a
mile Is made certain from the rather i'm
genous statements of competitors that
they cut rates to that amount in vain
the Pennsylvania is taking the business
in spite Of such low bids In the matter
OF commissions also the Pennsylvania is
accused Of meeting the highest bids of
competitors and then adding another dollar
or two for good measure.
But the most sensational act material
lied yesterday, when it became known that
Pennsylvania agents had gone up on one
side of Clark street and down the other,
stocking the scalpers with all the tickets
they would buy. This means nothing
less than open war or an almost imma-
date settlement OF differences. January
there viii be a general meeting OF East
ern passenger officials in New York, 1t
is hardly possible matters will get no
worse by that time They will certainly
get no better. Competing lines fairly
awoke to the situation yesterday and be-
gan taking business at any rate II was
necessary to make. Almost without eN-
ception the Eastern lines are In the scranl-
bic and are getting the business at rates,
which IF permanent, would show a net
loss in passenger revenues,

Venice January lO.-1Nc Gu2ctta de
Ncni2a says that the commander of the
forts In Liguera and Piedmont has been
ordered to complete the arming forthwith
Of the forts on the Frcnch frontier and
to complete the arming OF the batteries
on the Tyrrhenian sea.
In addition, 1t is stated that several
army corps have been ordered to place
themselves In readiness for an outbreak
Of war. The news has caused great cN-
element In Venice and 1t is believed that
the reason for taking these extraordinary
steps is the fact mat the italian govern

BURLINGTON TRAIN ROBBED.
Masked Men Hold Up the Trnin-A
big Haul supposed.

St Joe, Mo-, January 1O.--For the Sec
ond time within few months this city
has been the scene of an attempted train
robbery on the I'D of las, September
an attempt to hold up a train on the Coun-
ell Bluffs road was frustrated by the Of
ficers being informed OF the proposed
plan. Two Of the robbers were killed that
evening and another was recently sem
fenced to ten years in the penltentiary.
This was not sufficient 10 put stop to
the operations OF this class Of people in
this city, but tonight another train was
held up almost within the city limits.
The Burlington "En' leaving this city
at 6.25 was held up about three miles east
of st. Joseph by five masked men. The
train was stopped by torpedoes being
placed on the track and a red lantern
swung across the road in regulation GUS
tom
As soon as the train stopped two OF the
men boarded rhe engine with drawn re-
volvers and ordered the engineer and ire
man to accompany them to the express
car and ordered the express messenger
to open the door
The messenger did so, when he was COW
cred with rifle in the hands of one OF tho
men.
Three others, with reyolvers in each
hand had entered the ear, and the mes
senger was ordered to open the safe. lie
did So The robbers then took all there
was in the safe, which amount is Gained
by the railroad officials not 10 exceed $500.
This statement Is not credited here, as
Superintendent Hohl OF the Burlington
road and w. II. AIosely Of the Adams EN-
press company. have been in consultation
with the sheriff and chief of police, ana
posse Is now being organized.
one Of the robbers was slim man
anIw ore light brown suit. Another
was a short man and wore a black suit,
,rhe engineer and other trainmen were
unable to give a description Of the other
three men.
The trainmen think the robbers were
emHtcurs as they seemed to be nervous
an during the affair ana appeared much
excited.

When the train stopped the brakeman
went back to flag the St Louis train fol-

yards down the track, he asserts he heard
shots fired and suddenly tho train pulled

city and gave the alarm, He says the rob

Eighteen hundred and twenty-seven pa
tients discharged as cured is the work Of the
Munyon Homeopathic Remedy Company, Of
No. 1874 G street, this city, since October /,
1898, which is sufficient proof of their success
and popularity. During that time so-called
specialists have come and gone by the score;
some claiming to do one thing and others
another; and in some instances claiming su-
pernatural power. This company during the
past year have treated and cured over 700
cases of catarrh alone, the testimonials of
many having been published from time to
time in the daily papers. Scores OF rheumat-
les have been completely cured by Prof. Mum
yon's system after having treated with various
physicians and specialists in Washington and
elsewhere. These people, who in many in
stances were complete cripples, are now pur-
suing their various occupations with as much
yigor as ever. Dyspepsia has been most sue
cessfully treated by this company, hundreds OF
people who year ago were starving them
selves by the advice OF physicians in order TO
be relieved of the dread trouble, are now eat
ing and enjoying their food with the relish of
Il schoolboy Nervousness in all its forms is
quickly and permanently cured by Munyon's
system, as well as all diseases of the kidneys
and liver, female complaints, and diseases of
children. The Munyon Homeopathic Rem
edy Company's offices, at 1914 G street north
west, are the most perfectly equipped and
handsomest offices in the country, and their
staff of eminent physicians is large enough to
meet the demands of all. No matter how
many may call. all are welcome; thereis abso-
lutely no charge for examination and consul
tation. Their offices are open all day and
evening, and Sundays, 10 to IL.

Switzerland and Her Tourists.

when 1 looked out of my window at s
o'clock this morning." writes Mr.. Westall.
"a window which on clear days commands a
view OF Mount Blanc, my first impression was
that had slept full five months and been
meanwhile transported to London. The
mountains were blotted out and a fog sbrouded
Geneva Unless the weather speedily takes
up the tourists who are here will betake
themselves elsewhere and those who were in
tending to come are likely to change their
minds, which would be as great calamity as
a bad harvest or commercial crisis. For
the tourist traffic is of vast importance to
Switzerland and becomes every year more eX-
tensive and profitable. In the month of May
alone 10000 travellers arrived at Lucerne
and the clerk of one of the lake steamers
there told me that without English and Ameri-
cans it would not be worth while to run the
boats. Later come many Germans. As
suming that these visitors spend only e5
apiece, and many no doubt spend good deal
