WESTERN FREIGHT WAR
Assuming Serious Proportions and Prom
Uses to Extend to Local as Well as
Through Rates.

Chicago, October 10.-The western
freight war now promises to extend to
local as we'll as through rates. A report
has been in circulation that the Union
Pacific had put in a schedule of rates on
a basis of thirty-fve cents per 100 pounds
from Chicago to Colorado points. The
report was emphatically denied by
Freight Traffic Manager Munroe of the
Union Pacific, and others.
1t is generally believed, however, that
the Union Pacific will put in, or attempt
to put il tariff on the above basis,
which, if done, will Immediately affect
the Chicago Missouri river rates, and
cause them to tumble down to the
through basis. Less than carload rates
are also seriously threaten ed and false
move by any line will cause them to be
slashed to the bone
The ST. Paul has given five days
notice of it's extension to meet the so cent
tariff of the Santa Fe and other roads.
Finanoiers are becoming interested in
the struggle which is neutraliszing the
good effects which were expected to come
from the corn corp. 1t is tending to dis
courage large holders OF securities In
western roads and one of the most proml-
nent directors in Rock Island is quoted
as saying that present conditions as tc
rates. are fast olouding the bright future
which the railroad had in store for them.

there is distress after eating, pain In the

A gentleman with quite large sized
wheel factory in full operation in his
head, called at the PRESS Office at this
morning and for a short time made
things decidedly interesting to the night
force.
4 He was juggler, an orator, A. P. 'Aist,
anarchist, and lightning change..artist
all in one. He entered the office rather
lnceremoniously, from the Market street
side via the window, and inquired for
the captain of the Hannah Jane. Theat
individual not being present, he turned
his attention to the editorial force, and
when he conveyed the startling informa-
ton that he had just stabbed two men
thro' the heart and had them slowed
away under the grating outside, the lat
ter thinking of the White Chapel hor-
rors, summoned the fighting force and
removed the blood thirsty individual
with great care-to the sidewalk.
When last seen he was endeayoring to
effect radical reforms in the U. S. postal
arrangements at the Post Office.

The Quinoe In western New York.

The Ounce In Western New York.
In bulletin on the ounce industry
in general and particularly in western
New York, where the fruit is extensive
~ grown, Professor l. a. Bailey of
Cornell station names as the four lead
ing varieties Grange, Champion, Rea
and Mech. of which Orange is the
most widely known and grown, al
though Champion has proved the most
productive. A heavy, moist clay loan.
rendered friable by good cultivation,
fertilizing and draining, is considered
to be the best soil for ounces, although
they thrive upon lighter lands, where,
however, they are shorter lived. In the
way Of fertilizers 900 to 800 pounds Of
muriate Of potash per acre, applied
broadcast and narrowed in, is advised,
supplemented by 200 to 500 pounds per
acre of phosphoric acid in bone COM
pounds or dissolved South Carolina
rock. It is believed that the requisite
nitrogen can be supplied by tillage,
green manures and barnyard manure.
The common idea that salt is an indis-
pensable ounce fertilizer is believed to
be erroneous.

"CANNON BALL" CREW BLAMELESS.
The Crew of the Freight Were the Ones at
Fault.

Concord, N. H., October 10.-The rail-
road commissioners made report upon
the collision of the "Cannon Balr' ex-
press and extra freight by which two
locomotives and seventeen cars were
wrecked, three men killed and five
injured, near Plymouth, August s. The
report says: Members of the crew of
the Cannon BALI were entirely blame
less. They had clear right to the track
and they did nothing it was not their
duty to do, and omitted nothing they
should do. Moses I. Eaton, engineer.
David A. Colburn, pilot, and Leslie G..
Tyler, conductor Of the freight, occupied
the positions OF authority. Any one OF
them would have saved the trains by do
ing his duty. All of them were amazingly
stupid or careless, and all must answer
for the consequences We see no valid
excuse for either, and no great difference
in their guilt.

1t may not be so generally known that
recent post norton examinations of the
bodies of tho blind reveal the fact that in
the nerves at the ends of the fingers well
defined cells of gray matter had formed,
identical in substance and in cell forma-
ton with the gray matter of the brain.
What does this show? 1t proves that a
man can think not alone in his head, but
all over his body, and especially in the
great nerve centers like the solar plexus,
and the nerve ends, on the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet. The COM
ing man will assuredly perceive and think
in every part, from his head down to his
feet Arena

Elephants can be successfully grown
under glass, but they require very

best variety for forcing, says E. g.

on Tuesday from apoplexy. She had
been considered eccentric, and was
thought to be com fortably well off, but
not wealthy When the body was prepared
for burial startling discoveries were
made. Secreted about her person and in
pockets of other dresses, pieces of bric-a-
brac. vases and closets were found many
thousands of dollars in gold coin and In
bills of large denominations. Twenty
thousand dollars was found: Then the
searching party accidentally stumbled
upon number of bank books, which
showed that she had many thousands of
dollars on deposit. Later it became
known that she was the owner OF vast
amount of real estate, the greater part OF
it in Boston, which returned big in
come
In addition to the money, it was found
that she had all extensive and costly
wardrobe. Elegant dresses that had new
err been worn were hung UP in the closets
or laid on tables and dressers. The SER
wants, who had lived in the house for
years, were astounded, Even they did
not know of the wealth which surrounded
them. For over 80 years the woman had
lived alone in this house with the SER
wants, having secured divorce from her
husband
She inherited some money from her
parents and it was judiciousiy invested,
it grew in years. urtil at her death,
it is estimated that she was worth over
81, 600. 900. Her only living relative, SO
far as is known, is q brother, j. e.
Marshal, of No. % Beacon street, and if
she dies intestate all of her property will
revert to him.
On Tuesday night the body was rs-
moved t. the undertaken s'rooms where
it now hes, and the police are now on

Curiously enough, women are not re-
sponsible for the existence of the corset at
all, for the first corset mentioned in his
tory was worn by man, the Greek poet
Cinesias, and Aristophanes ri4cules him
for it in his comedies. Cinesias, who was
vain to degree, endeavored to add to the
symmetry of his tall, slim figure by wear
ing corset of little planks of wood. The
emperor Antonius Plus adopted it later,
and then gradually Roman women affected
it, although it then only encircled the
waist, leaving the bust free. Gradually ii
extended downward and upward till il
reached modern proportions, Catherine de-
Medici being the first woman to wear the
bust corset in France. -Cosmopolitan.
