These terrible billiards, that We, make
merry over are slngs and arrows for the
sick and feeble. All thoughtful physicians
agree that the suffering now prevaien'
among us, from la grippe. lung troupe,
rheumatism and subtle catarrhal maladies
is without precedent and almost beyond
belief.
The fact is. the frail mortal who faces
winter In this climate Is like one exposed
to nylng iron on a battlefield. The arrows
OF the weather devil are aimed straight az
life. They leave only wounded lungs a., ana .
disease poisoned stomachs and fatal de-
bllty, poisoned blood and catarrh. asthma
and lingering grip. The slow mortality
wrought by furious bllzzards is. greater
than the instant mortality. of most battles,
and for people TO be slain by weather pois-
ons is as cruel as to be slaughtered py
bombardment and gtinpowder blasts.
We hold 1t to be the duty Of an enlght,

of the prevailing sickness, and not only
TO take cognizance. but to, take action. me

GRAIN RATES ARE SHAKY,
CHAIRMAN BLANCHARD DISCOVER
CONGRATULATIONS.
A Bearish Feeling That May Lead to an
Open Cut Between Chicago and
the Scaboard- Western
Trunk Lines.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb 9.-The recent reduc-
ton of the grain rate between Chicago and
the Atlantic seaboard from % to 20 cents
has not had the expected result of prevent
ing all decentralization, nor are the lines
needing with any great care the positive
injunction of Chairman Blanchard, of the
Central Traffic Association, that thereafter
the grain rates must be rgidly main
tanned" The recnt cut in the rates on
flour from Minneapolis and st. Paul to
Chicago, has had the effect of making the
lines east of Chicago shade their tariff
sheets In order to hold onto their share
of the business. II was intimated very
strongly by the St. Paul-Chicago lines that
they had no intention of cutting rates. and
of the paying to the Eastern roads the
same percentages as before. The Eastern
lines We're quick to take the hint, and as
a result there has been a bearish feeling
in eastbound grain rates from Chicago that
Is likely within few days to bear fruit In
the shape of open cuts The severe wealth
er of the last ten days has operated more
to hold in check the desire to get under 20
cents than any other reason. The total
amount of grain received by the Eastern
roads is about the same as last week, but
they have not carried 1t away as rapidly
ceerlty to-day however. AS soon as the
weather moderates and the roads. are as
open for business as before the blizzard
tied them into hard knots. the 20 cent rate
on grain will grow shaky at the knees
and wabbly along the spine.
Chairman Blanchards order is not
weighing very heavily at present, and it
Will grow lighter as spring advances.
The affairs of the Western trunk line
committee continue to brighten and 1t is
now believed that the worst of its troubles
are over. A conference between the trans
continental lines at which both the Rio
Grande Western and the Union Pacific will
be represented will be held during the COM
Ing week, at. the office OF Chairman Cald-
well, and 1t Is the general opinion that 1t
Will end In such a manner as to permit
both roads TO become members of the
committee. With the Union Pacific on the
inside. 80 per cent of the difficulty of form
ing the committee will be ended. The Mis-
souri, Pacific Will come in on the heels of
the Union Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Will, 1t is expected, follow suit
at once. With these three lines and the
Rio Grande Western as members. the COM
mittee Will be able at once to begin opera
tions. This. however, Is the rosy side OF
the matter II the Union Pacific flies off at
tangent again, as II has done so many
times already, the patience of some of the
other lines Will hardly hold good against
the temptation TO punish 1t for the trouble
II has caused.

MIR. REIGER's FIGURES.

Councilman Rieger has prepared a state
ment of the merchants tax paid by the
wholesale liquor dealers of the city who
are protesting against paying the 800 mer-
chants license imposed by the recent
license ordinance. An ordinance to amend
this ordinance by leaving out whole

the lower house to the streets, alleys and

gives n very interesting interview on the
proposed championship battle between Cor
bett and Fitzsmmons. As the professor
has done considerable work with both men.
his idea Cn the outcome OF the fight is
worthy of mention. You can bet all the
money you want that the fight viii not so

"Corbett IS very careful fighter, and he
will take no chances with this fellow. I've
seen both these fellows night good many
times, and know what am talking about

clever nor as strong as Corbett. People
