PROSPECTIVE RAILWAY WAR.
Union Pacific Makes Demands Which
Other Roada VIII Not Agree To.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The Union Pacific
has taken a stand that will cause the other
Western roads end of trouble, and it
is possible that a hot fight will result be-
tween it and the lines in the Western Trunk
line committee. When the agreement was
formed, it was the understanding that the
Union Pacific should make no demand for
any of the Puget Sound business. This was
agreed to by the Union Pacific and the rate
sheets were made up on that basis. Now
comes the Union Pacific and, without
word of warning, asks that it be given
portion of the Puget sound business; the
other roads will have no option but to
fuse the demand of the Union Pacific, it
was promised to the Northern Pacific when
should have the Puget Sound business. If
the Union Pacific begins any decentralization
of rates 1t Will have on its hands about
the biggest fight that any road in the coun-
try ever stood up against. The other
western lines declare chat they are in no
way responsible for any decentralization IL
it should come, and which is very likely to
come, as the Union Pacific has intimated
very plainly that if it gets no share of the
Puget Sound business 1t will take steps
to prevent the advance in rates which the
other lines had agreed should take effect
on Feb Is.
The advisory committee of the emigrant
clearing house of the Western Trunk line
committee again took up the question of
excessive commissions paid by the Grand
Trunk. 1t decided yesterday to let the
thing alone, all the commissions were
being paid in territory in which they had no
nothing and it is not likely that the matter
will come up again.

Against the Disease.
Group is a terror to young mothers,
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the OBJ
iect of this item. The origin of Group is
\ common cold Children who are sub
iect to it take cold very easily and
GROUP is almost sure to follow The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough. which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child is becoming hoarse. If Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is freely given all
tendency to Group will soon disappear.
Even after the croupy cough has de-
veloped it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this rem
edy. for it contains nothing Injurious.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Town of Elizabeth, Writ County, Bad
ly Scorched Yesterday Morning.

INC AOWn OF EuHaDeln, VIII county, Ddu-
ly Scorched Yesterday Morning.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w Va, November IA
AT , o'clock This morning very dis
astrous fire broke out in barber shop
at Elizabeth, Writ county, owned by
Stephen Merrill, and a number of build
ingS belonging to him were totally de-
strOyed. The residents fought the
flames hard, but, on account Of the
scarcity of water and no fire apparatus
available, not much good was accom-
plished in this way and the flames
spread rapidly.
The Virginia House, the principal
hotel there, was destroyed, together with
all the buildings adjoining. The large
store room and WarerOOm adjoining of
Hickman & Harris, was also destroyed,
but some of the stock was saved. The
X. Of P. Hall building, which was oc-
cupied by several families, was an
other building which succumbed to the
fierce flames.
1t is said the loss will exceed $4,000,
and no insurance was carried on any
of the buildings destroyed The stock
Of Hickman & Harries was insured for
$1,000.
This is the second fire in the last two
weeks at Elizabeth, and it was only
through the heroic efforts of the cit
liens that the entire town was not
burned.
