Ar means OF preventing prevailing mis-
use Of live stock passes the executive COM
mittee Of the Western Passenger association
and the board Of administration Of the
Western joint traffic bureau have recon-
mended that no return tickets be given.
This Recommendation goes TO the executive
officers OF the Interested roads. and 1t Is
thought certain that 1t will be adopted. For
years live stock passes have been gold by
recipients to persons willing to ride on q
stock train, or have been given to them In
consideration OF their care OF the stock. Re-
turn portions have been used by brokers In
all the large stock markets. There really
is little reason for any one tending stock
nowadays for the railroads system Of feed
ing and watering Is as near perfect as can
be. For these reasons II was decided to re-
strict the old concessions.

Railroads and steamship Lines Com.
bine ON Immigrant Traffic.
The agreement which has been entered
into between the railroads and Atlantic
steamship lines for the regulation Of immi-
grant fares is the most far reaching OF all
combinations Of the kind that were ever or.
ganized In this country. 1t takes In not
only all OF the Transatlantic steamship
companies. but The coastwise lines extend
ing as far south as the Gulf Of Mexico and
north to Halifax. thereby rendering 1t im-
possible for rates to be demoralixed so far
as the ocean companies are concerned. All
Of the transcontinental as well as the Wes-
ern and trunk lines are parties to the agree
ment, which provides for the payment to
the steamship companies OF 10 per cent
commission on all steerage passengers
turned over by the latter to the railroads.
One OF the ticket scalpers' chief sources
OF revenue Is now cut OF, and the railroads
the ccurry over agree to turn over fat"
commission Of 10 per cent to the steamship
companies BY virtue Of the latter refusing
to have any further dealings With outside
agents. The initiarve was taken By the
v estern Passenger association, which has
been the leading factor In the struggle with
the outside agents, trunk lines and steam.
ship lines. that has been going on for many
years
The Canadian Pacific and Southern Pa
cific railways, which have been the chief
disturbing factors to previous combinations,
have signed -rhB agreement. One of thr
mot significant results OF the deal is the
decision to advance immigrant fares from
New York and other seaboard cities such
as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
port News. to the West, beginning Deeem-
Der Is. The advance from New York to
Chicago is from $l3 to SIS poston is to
have a dlfferentipl OF 81. The rate from that
city to Chicago being s14. II is we'll known
that there Is more profit in the t"ansporta-
tion OF immigrants than any other Glars Of
passengers. owing o the Fact hat rhe pocr-
est cars are generally used for his service,
and u Ia unimportant whasher the trairs
travel rapidly or slowly The TACT Is re-
called that number az wears ago, during q
war OF rates between the trunk lines, the
Pennsyivsnia railroad carried immigrants
for 81 apiece from New York to Chicago.

Havana, Nov. 1.-The Spanish cruiser

was sighted on Havana yesterday morn
ing at $3.50. At z o'clock the Alfonso
XIII entered the harboP. and Lieu
tenant General Weyler, MARQUIS
Ahumada, Admiral Navarro and
other high military and naval officers
went in special steamer to meet Cen
eral Blanco. After a long and cordial
conference Lieutenant General weyier
yielded up his command to his succea-
sor. At 1850 Marshal Blanco landed.
According to the official account he
was enthusiastically greeted" by the
populace, who shouted Long Liv.
Blanco."
Lieutenant General weyler and Mar.
shal Blanco exchanged farewells on
board the Alfonso XIII, and the steamer
Montserrat sailed at o'clock D. m. She
was escorted outside the harbor by nu-
merous tugs laden with the friends Of
the departing general and the officers
OF his staff. An immense crowd wit
messed the departure from the wharves.
According to the official account the
people cheered for "weyler, the pacifi-

AT Chicago Judge Freeman has de-
cided that under the Australian bal
lot system . voter cannot be COM
PEELED TO disclose for whom he cast
his ballot. This principle Of law
holds good, IL 10 said, even when the
legality Of an election has been ques
toned in court proceedings and the
Issue depends upon ascertsining how
and for whom certain voters exercis-
cd their franchise. The question
arose In the Evanston mayora,t;
contest, which has been pending In
she courts for some time, and the
decision bids fair to leave Mayor
Dyche the undisputsd head Of the

Curry, the contestant, had 0 number
Of alleged illegal voters cited before
Notary Boyer upon an order Of court

ositions. A test case was made by

1t Will Save Many a Dollar
and Prevent a Heap of
Domestic Trouble.

Some men are very entertaining
when first introduced. but they soon
become exhausted and run out. On
. second or third interview they are
fiat and monochrome. Like Q street
organ. we soon hear all their tunes,
but like that instrument they cannot
DO returned 80 easily. Some reme-
dies are very effective for one trial,
but they soon exhaust their virtues.
Like mira or buchu they do their
work once, but unlike Doan's Kidney
Pills they are useless and positively
burtful when tried o second time.
The secret of the success of Doan's
Pills lies in their intrinsic merit.
They do their work thoroughly and
they can be appealed to again and
again when trou BILE arises, and they
respond as effectively to the appeal
as when first employed. Unlike all
RENE dies for the kidneys put upon
the market they have been able to
stay. Unlike all others they have
never attempted spasmodic or cratic
means to force q sale. They have
kept on the s'even tenor OF their
way" slowly but surely distancing
all competitors until they are so
thoroughly entrenched in the ma
joriry Of the states they cannot be
dislodged. There isn't an import
ant town or city anywhere in the
union but pu blishes daily, statements
from residents of that town or CITY.
Every town and city has its own
people to deal with, has statements
from people they know to confirm OF
disprove. No other kidney remedy
or any remedy does or can do this.
There is only one legitimate conclu-
sion to arrive at, the remedy that
does it has more than elaborate ad-
vertising to sustain its representa-.
ton. It has intrinsic merit, in
herent qualities, possesses some mar
velous potent power; in fine it does
its work thoroughly and we'll.
Doan's Kidney Pills are sold for
80 cents q box BY all dealers, or
sent by mail on receipt Of price by
er-Milburn company, Buffalo,
N. Y, sole agents for the United
States.
Remember the name Doan's and
take no substitute.

Brute Instinct.

Natural laws pertain to all things.

brute society. But that the actions of

by,a sense of duty is not only extreme

count for the Likes and dislikes of ami

cruelty is practiced upon the brutes for
the lacl: Of thought that they are not
