induced to pay. The utmost care has
been taken in this respect to protect
the interests of the government, and
the other mortgage creditors"
There are in reality to be seven
sales, each under separate decree
of the court On Nov. 1 and 2 the
sales will be at Omaha On the first
day the governments lien on the line
from Council Bluffs to Ogden will be
offered to the highest bidder, and on
the next day the same property will
be sold under the first mortgage. The
sales of the three succeeding days
will be held at Topeka, Kan. The
third sale will be of the line from
Kansas City to Denver, under the con-
solidation mortgage. On the following
day the government aided line from
Kansas City west will be sold under
the government lien.
The next sale will be under the first
mortgage of the division west from
Kansas City to Junction City. Inc
line from Junction City to a point
about 26O miles west will be sold the
next day at Salina, Kan. The final
sale will take place at Denver, when
the line from Cheyenne to Denver will
be offered.
Each sale, as stated, will be sepa-
rate affair, and there is nothing in the
DEGREES to prevent bids being sub
mitted on any one of the various por-
lions offered, without regard to the
remaining sales.
Asked as to the possibility of there
being no bid, or none reaching the
price set by the court, Judge
Cornish said that, in that event, the
natural thing would be a report to the
court and new order>of sale. AS to
whether this might or might not be
the case, he had no view to offer.

UNAUTHORIZED FREIGHT TARIFFS
Executive officers Do Not See ANY
Reason for Cut Rates.

CHICAGO, Oct 19.-The traffic officials and
executive officers of the Western roads he'd
another meeting today for the purpose OF see
ing if something could not be done to bring
freight tariffs. For long time the freight
rates west from Chicago have been in
state of decentralization and this, in the face
of a very heavy business. The reasons for tho
trouble are many, each road having some OF
its own and one or two in common with the
other lines. The chief reason is that the
Southwestern roads have been making strong
efforts to divert the traffic to new channels,
and they have in large measure succeeded.
The Western lines have heen C mpeled to meet
this comptition and they have met it by
cutting rates. At the meeting today it was
the unanimous sentiment that there is no real
necessity for the reduced rates and that they
can be taken cut as soon as the conflicting
interests OF the roads can be adjusted. This
is a matter requiring much tine that it
was found impossible for the meeting of today
to make any great progress toward the restor-
alton of rates, but the executive officials say
that they will make every effort to have the
rates restored within a short time
The situation in Western passenger rates
shows no sgns of immediate improvement
and the chances are that Chairman Caldwell
OF the Western Passenger association, will
find it necessary, in the near future to call
a. meeting of all the interested lines for the
purpose of seeing that the agreement enter
ed into by all of the Western roads some
time ago, for the maintenance of rates and
the non-payment of commissions is kept.
Practically every road that agreed to stop
the payment of excessive commissions is now
the agreement made. The settlemnt of
the troubles between the Oregon Short Line
and the Union Pacific has not stopped the
payment of the large commissions on North
ern Pacific coast business nor is there any
probability that they VIII be discontinued in
the near future.

Something About the New DfscOv-

letter writes as follows: "There has

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is re-
markable remedy, not only because
it is certain cure for all forms of
indigestion, but because it seems to
act as thoroughly in old chronic cases
of Dyspepsia as we'll as in mild at
tacks of indigestion or biliousness.
A person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach is overworked, all
it wants is a harmless, vegetable rem
edy to digest the food and thus give
it the much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach, but to every organ and
nerve in the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the
most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles can be cured. The
tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., of Marshall, Mich, but
so popular has the remedy become
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
now be obtained at any drug store at

GROCERY COMPANY INVOLVED.
Receiver Asked by Number of the
Stockholders

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-Counsel on be-
half of a number of stockholders in the
American Grocery company, has made
application to Chancellor McGill, at
Jersey City, for a receiver for the COM
pany. The bill sets forth that the COM
pany was organized in 1894, and made
money for two years. During the third
year, Thomas S. Marsalis made
changes in the business methods which
proved detrimental. Orders were not
filled satisfactorily to customers, and
statesmen who Influenced much trade
were allowed to leave and take their
trade with them. Several articles
which had proved profitable were
dropped from the stock. The bill also
alleged that Mr.. Marsalis sought to
bring about a dissolution.
In answer Mr.. Marsalis makes an
affidavit that at the time of the trans
fer from the old to the new company
there were outstanding $1,500,00o of
preferred and $1,O00,000 of common
stock. An assessment of 20 per cent
was levied on the preferred and 10 per
cent on common stock of the Thurber-
Whyland company; predecessor of the
American Grocery company. In re-
turn they were to receive as much
stock, common and preferred, as they
held in the old company, and in addl-
ton thereto first preferred stock of the
new company equal to the assessment
paid in. On this agreement $4,000 was
paid in and Marsalis and certain
friends paid in 100000 additional.
When he took charge of the company
it owed $1,000, which debt he reduced
in three years to $500 Chancellor
McGill has reserved decision.

EXPORT RATE CONDITION.
Traffic Men Find 1t Necessary to
Talk 1t over.

Talk 1t over.
Flour rates are still causing trouble among
the interested lines. This time, it is alleged,
the export rates are being sliced, N spite of
the agreement, and that certain roads are
living up to contracts made with shippers
below the agreed figures.
Chairman Midgley has called a meeting Of
initial lines for today in Chicago, and last
night several St. Paul traffic men left for
the WINDY City to be present. The export
rates vary with ocean charters, but in spite
of the fact that the freight men say there
is little disturbance, it is understood that
Mr.. Midgey has been put in possession of
indisputabie evidence that one or two of
the lines are cutting under and adding to
their export tonnage. This will be the burden
of the meeting although the tangle over put
ting in effect the Increased rates from Michi-
gan and Lake Superior points will be taken
up.
1t was learned yesterday that the Lacka-
wanna and other Ines which had issued
tariffs making the increase operative on the
18th, have amended them to read the 18th,
forced to this action by the refusal of the
Union Steamboat and other companies to
put in the raised scale until the 18th, when
the Minneapolis increase goes into effect
An effort will be made to keep from any
disturbance of rates after the lines all put the
raised scale into effect next week.

500 GETS IN LINE.
Passenger Rates on East-Bound
Steamships Buttoned Up.

The news that the 500 line has agreed to
restore passenger rates on eastbound steam
ship business to the authorized rate of $3.50
and also to cooperate with the st. Paul Chi
cago lines, has brought much joy to the pas
senger officials of these lines. This is espe-
cially true coming as it does upon the heels
of Chairman Caldwel's confirmation of the
report that the Southern Pacific and Canad-
ian Pacific had entered into an agreement
with other Western roads to do away with
with the business for some time.
Under the terms of the new agreement the
services of immigration agents are dispensed
with entirely, and the transatlantic compan-
Western immigrant clearing house. which
will divide the business according to agreed
percentages among the competing lines. This
agreement, if lived up to, should in the opin-
ion of railroad and steamship passenger
agents, obviate all the trouble in the past.

HELD CAPTIVE BY A LION.
Remarkable Adventure of a kafiir
With One of the Forest Kings.


An interesting tale comes from Mashona-
says the New York Journal The story is
vouched for by DR.. R. Brown, wellknown
writer on South African topics. The Kafir
was visiting some friends at a distance and
was Mortified while resting near a small pool
to see lrage lion watching him from the
other side. Unfortunately, the man had laid
his loaded gun beyond his reach, and at
sign of reaching for it the lion roared menac-
ing1y The situation now became extremely
painful-if not for the lion, at least for the
man, for, putting aside the imminent pros
pect of being deyoured. the rock on which
he sat, exposed to the glare of an African
sum- was so hot that he could scarcely bear
to touch it with his naked feet. But the
, enemy was inexorable. Any exhibition of
intention to seize the weapon followed
by warning roar, so that the man had all
day long to temper the almost intolerable
heat of the rock by placing one foot on the
other, until by evening both feet were so
roasted that he had lost any sence of pain.
The lion seemed to have only recently dined,
otherwise it is extremely unlikely it would
have displayed such tolerance to it's helpless
vis-a-vis. At noon it walked to the pool to
drink looking round every few steps to watch
the Kaffir, and, when he reached for his
gun, turned in rage, and was on the point
of bouncing upon him. Then, quenching his
thirst, the vigilant brute came back to its
old pest.
Another night passed. but whether the
Kaffr slept or not he could not tell. ALI he
knew was that it must have been at very
short intervals and with his eyes open, for
he always saw the lion at his feet. Next
forenoon the animal went again to the water,
and while there, hearing apparently some
noise in an opposite quarter, disappeared in
the bush. The man now made attempt
to seize his gun, but on attempting to rise
he fell, his ankles being apparently without
power. However he got the musket and
crept to the pool to drink, determined if the
lion returned to discharge the contents of
the weapon into it. But he did not appear.
Then, unable to walk, with his toes roasted
by the. sun and the hot rock, and his legs
fayed by the shorp- edged grass, he erawied
along the nearest path on his hands and
knees on the chance of some traveller pass
ing that way. The hope seemed destined to
disappointment, when countryman came up
and took the famished and crippled Kafir to
a place of safety, where he recovered though
he lame for life.
