A good many farmers are taking
wheat to Beverly in exchange for grass
seeds. Wheat zoe, clover seed &c.
This snow the last few days has been
very nice for sowing grass seed. We
find the wheat looking very badly, the
last freeze killed both root and top.

cellent sermons in the Universalist

EXCHANGE MILEAGE.

Chicago and Ohio River Lines Abolish 1t.
Chicago. March 15.-Passenger Off
GERS of all of the important lines be-
tween Chicago and the Ohio river en-
tered into an agreement in this city
Yesterday which stipulates that each
road shall Immediately abolish what
are known as mileage exchange tickets.
These exchange tickets have been fruit
for the scalpers for years. They are
straight tickets, which are exchanged
for an equal amount of mileage from
books sold at the rate of two cents per
mile. These tickets have caused more
more rate wars than any other one
thing. The railroad companies which
signed this agreement yesterday are
the Pennsylvania lines Fort Wayne
and Pan Handle routes) Cleveland,
Chicago and st. Louis Gig Four route)
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago,
(Monon route) Chicago and Eastern
Illinois, and Evansville and Terro
Haute. Notices will shortly be issued
to the scalpers and to the public, stat
ing that straight tickets will not be ex-
changed for mileage books and giving
rules for the purchase and use of the
latter
The agreement of the railroads is
one of the direct results of the Presi-
dents Joint Traffic association, which
went into operation January /, last and
the officers of which are ruling traffic
affairs with an iron hand. 1t is be-
lieved that Yesterdays action is but
the beginning of the end, and that
eventually the sale of mileage books
will be entirely abolished in the terri
tory east of Chicago.
