Dallas. Texas, Sept 21.-In a speech
here Saturday night Governor Culberson
read the following significant correspon-
dence between himself and Prince Bis
marck on the money question: Il 81
Prince, Bsmarck-Sir: The great ques
ton of finance is now Of supreme interest
to the people of the United States. It is
presented in various forms. but iii a
general way it may he said to be, first.
whether the United States shall adopt the
single gold standard, or, second whether
they shall adopt binetal1ism with both
gold and silver as the standard, or pri-
mary money. The argument in favor OF
each is well known to you, but it is par
ticularly insisted that we should adopt
the policy of bimetallisn because the sup
ply Of gold iii the world for coinage is
insufficient to meet the demand, or be-
cause such a standard will still further
depress the values Of all property. 4
Which. in your Judgment, is the best
policy to adopt, the gold standard or BIZ
metallism, giving your reasons? What
effect. in your judgment, will the Inn.
mediate adoption Of bimetal lism by the
United States have on the cause Of BIZ
metallism in Germany and other great
commercial nations. Fri 81. i 1. s..s

SMALL GRAIN RATE FURRY.
FEARED THAT THE BURLINGTON
MAY MAKE 4 CUT.
Annual Meeting of the SnntaFe Stock

Service on the Memphis
A Frisco Rumor.

All Of the Southwestern lines yesterday
applied transit privileges to grain destined
to Texas points, originating on any line
north Of the Southwestern Traffic Associa-
ton territory, and most of the lines an
uounced that they would take up through
grain billing regardless of the territory in
which it originated
4 rate war was regarded as more immi-
nent yesterday than the day before. This
conclusion was forced largely by the fact
that Green & Co.. a ST. Louis grain house,
had sent out bids 10 points on thu Bur
lington & Missouri River and Kansas
City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs, offering
prices above the market for grain. This
was taken to mean that cut in grain
rates TO St. Louis would be made by the
Burlington. 1t is a significant fact that
Green & Co. have been buying at higher
prices only at local stations, which are
not included in the pool. This has sug-
been promised an elevator rate, and that
its application viii be such as to not cause
Generalization. Others concluded yester-
day that the Burlington had determined
TO meet Gulf competition and proposed 10
force at the Chicago meeting an under
standing that would result in a greater
percentage of the traffic being routed East
instead of South. General Southwestern
Agent Harmon. of the Burlington is in
Chicago in attendance at the session of the
Western Freight Association, and at his
office it was stated they were not in a po-
sition TO either confirm or deny the report

Sporting News.

Tho Owls and the Vikings met in the
bowling tournament on the Grand alleys
last night. and the result was a victory for
tho owls Icy the score Of 2.i1l 10 2,55i, Civ
inE them a margin Of ia pins. The Owls
BOWED I.y far the best game they have put
up Oh the Grand alleys this season, the en-
tire five. with the exception Of DeiteTich,
finishing well up.
Stranathan was the star bowler OF the
otcnIug with the fine total Of 541. leading
from start TO finish, no other bowler Of
either team ever getting within range OF
him except Criaer, who pressed him closely
ar tha finish, ending with 20. Whitney got
OF badly, and had a very low score when
the first half Of the game had been COM
pletcI. but in the last fifteen frames he
boWlsd in true form and pulled up remark
ably well. and the same may be said Of
Jordsn's bowling. Deiterich never did get
into his stride, and his average suffered
materially.
Lawson and Roeder were the only bowl
eFs Of the Viking FIVE who did any good.
Lawson was nigh man for the team with
bOi. and but for several misses OF easy
spares his score would have been much
larger. Swanson and Jackson had only
fair scores with 45s and AZ, while Lewis
fell away below what he should have
bCWIed.
The owls started the game In bad form,
and at the end Of the tenth frame the Eik-
iuSs had a lead of q pins. and it looked as
If they might throw the leaders down, but
before the half had been reached the Owls
had taken a slight lead, and this they
gradually increased to the finish.
The Owls missed 20 spares, while the
Vikings are charged with the unusually
large number of % misses, which was fatal
10 their chances.

FRISCO MAY GET IN.
Plan by Which That Road COuId Sc
cure an Entrance to Kan
Sas City

Following closely upon the visit of Cen
eraI Manager B. F. Yoakum and General
Freight Agent Frank D. Russell, of The
Frisco to Kansas City, comes a seemingly
authentic rumor that the Frisco has ar
ranged to secure an entrance TO Kansas
City. The plan, as it is outlined by per-
sons claiming to know. is as follows: The
Frisco is to build an extension to Bolivar
the terminus of its Springtield-Bo
branch to Fairplay, on the line Of the
Kansas City. Fort Scott & Memphis, a
distance of nine miles. From Fairpiay 10
OsceOla, distance of thirty-one miles, it
is to use the Kansas City, Clinton &
Springfield branch of the Memphis, and
from OsceOla 10 Kansas City, III miles
the Kansas City. Osceola & Southern (Blair
lne). The fact that Mr.. Yoakum and Pres
ident Washburn. of the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis. held a conference dur
ing the visit of the former to this city, is
referred to as tending to subs.autiate the
rumor. but the fact that Messrs YoaKUm
and NaShburn were joint members cf
committee of the Western Freigat Asso-
citation to wait upon the officials of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf miGn. aC-
count for their meeting. No authoritative
statement regarding the mater could be
obtained yesterday.
The Frisco has a branch extending north
from Springfield to Bolivar, within r.ne
miles of Fairplay. and the extension could
be built with a comparatively small out
lay. The extension from Bolivar ID Os-
ceola, which has been surveyed and dis
Cussed for several years, covers a route
sixty miles in length, and the building of
the additional fifty-one miles couli ae OBJ
waited by the lease of the thirty-one miles
of tn. Memphis branch.

THE TRANS MISSOURI CASE.
Herring Before the Supreme Court.
Involving the Antitrust Law
nf $500

Washington. Dec. S.-The supreme court
to-day began the hearing of arguments
in the case of the United States vs.. the
Trans-Missour Freight Association, involv-
ing the antitrust law. The case originated
in the circuit court of Kansas and was in
stituted by the government for the pur-
pose of enjoinng the further execution of
the pooling agreement between the eighteen
railroads constituting the Trans-M Missouri
Association. on the ground that the pool
was in violation of the antitrust law, Of
lS90. The circuit court dismissed the bill
and the decision was sustained by the cir
cult court of appeals for the eighth cir
cUit. The government tnen appealed to tha
supreme court. Attorney General Harmon
opened the argument for his department.
He made a strong appeal for cOnstruc>
ton of the law which would prohibit pool
ing by all competing lines, which he claim
ed was the intention of the statute with
respect to railroads.

Use it as such will some day regret il.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands OF people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dam

porary relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse ana worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant TO
