COMMISSIONS ARE BEING PAID
ONCE MORE FOR STEAMSHIP
BUSINESS,
so CERTAIN LINES DECLARE.
WESTERN ROADS SAID TO BE
BREAKING THE AGREEMENT
ABOUT THE AGENTS.
EXCUSE GIVEN FOR THIS COURSE.
TranscOntinentaI Rates to Be Ad-
vanced Dec. 1-ArOund the
Local Offices.

The storm signal Is up on steamship
business, and unless 1t develops that
the volume Of business from the West
to the big steamship wharves in the
East is very light the fur Is bound to
fly. The trouble is that the Western
roads, which went into an agreement
to reduce commissions to q normal fig
ure which the passenger representa-
tiVes insist shall be confidential" are
certain that there is some skulduggery
going on and threaten to kick over the
traces. The agreement became effec-
tive Oct 18, but the fact that it was
made by the city passenger agents Of
the lines has given rise to the con-
tention that they were not clothed with
final authority. AS the matter now
stands, the 500 line has a monopoly of
the differential of 81 which it was
agreed to allow on business sent via
Montreal, and, although the Chicago
lines can route traffic via Chicago and
Montreal, they have seen fit to use the
more direct route and pay the addi-
tional 50.
NOW comes the statement that the
Wisconsin Central is getting the lions
snare OF the business which is moving
to the East, and some of the lines In
innate that it Is owing to the pay
ment Of bigger commissions than the
agreement allows. The business is
light, no doubt because more men can
get employment, and for that reason
are not going home for the holiday
season, but if the traffic picks up some
OF the other lines mean to get a slice
OF it or know the reason why.
The local railroaders assert that the
compact between the Western roads
and the steamship companies on what
IS called prepaid business Is working
very satisfactorily on west bound traf
nc. This compact dispensed entirely
with the middIemen and allows the
roads to deal direct with the steamship
lines in the payment Of commissions.

is 1T DURABLE?
A Question often Asked by Those
Afflicted With Piles.


Is a strained joint durable? Is local
Inflammation durable? OF course, if
properly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old Chronic" who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment and naturally he discourages
them by telling them that their case is
hopeless
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case
be cured by careful and skillful hand
ling is allowed to sap the energy of
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble in a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. 1t relieves the
congested parts, reduces the tumors in
stantly no matter how large, allays
the Inflammation and stops the aching
or itching at once.
Thousands who had resorted to eX-
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a
number of instances persons who had
spent months in hospital under pile
specialist.
1t is remedy that none need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and inf1amed hemorrhoidal tu-
mors.
If you are afflicted with this stub
born disease you can master it and mas
ter it quickly.
This remedy is no longer an expert
ment, but a medical certainty. 1t is
manufactured by the Pyramid Drug
Co., Of Albion, Mich.
Druggists sell II at so cents per box.
1t is becoming the most popular pile
cure this country has ever known and
druggists everywhere are ordering it
for their customers.

nooI1ER NOT CONSIDERABLE.
Keeping Witnesses in Suspense by
Not Showing Up.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Nov. IL
Nothing has been heard from L. e:
Booker. ex-president of the Grand
Forks National bank, except rumors
that he has been seen in st. Paul and
Wahpeton. These rumors are proDa-
bly, baseless.
A very sharp lookout Is being kept
for him. as he did not leave here very
far in advance of the knowledge that
he was gone and it is generally sup
posed that, f alive, he will be returned
in a few days. Acting on this supposl-
ton, the government is holding here
the witnesses it has brought from
distance for the trial of the case
against Booker for fraudulent banking.
Some of these witnesses are from the
South, and q number from distant
points in the East, and all are very
anxious 20 get home as soon as posi-
BILE. How long they will be kept in
anticipation of news from the retiring
banker cannot now be told.
Booker's departure was a great sur
prise. and is generally accepted as
confession Of guilt. His bondsmen, to
The amount Of S., 900, are in despair.
Capt. Baker, Of the First National
Bank of Bismarck, who is one of the
bondsmen,i is also bondsman for Editor
Moffet in the four criminal libel cases
now pending against that gentleman.
1t is believed possible In many quar-
tiers that Booker is dead; that he may
have committed suicide when the time
to appear in court drew near. Most of
those connected with the case do not
believe the man is dead.

TEKAMA, Neb., Nov. 12.-Last Fall c. S.
Laughlin and Miss Alice Thomson were
nominated on rival tickets for the office Of
school superintendent Of Burt county. Miss
Thomason was manifestly much in the lead
Her rivals supporters despaired of success
But Laughlin felt not the slightest nervous
ness. Only he and Miss Thomson knew it
had asked the lady's hand and been ac-
copied On the eve of election the latter
withdrew. There was no time to fill the
vacancy caused by her retirement and
Laughlin swept into Office by unanimous
vote. The day after election the wedding an
nouncements were sent out. The marriage
occurred Thursday afternoon. Thus both
aspirants for office are victorious. But the
Populists who nominated Miss Thomson are
still unSatiSfed.
