Passenger Rates DemoraliEed.

Passenger affairs in the territory of the
Western Passenger Association and in that
of the Transcontinental Passenger Associa-
ton are steadily growing worse. The latest
phase of the situation is that the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific have an
nounced that they will apply on all Cali
fornia business the five-dollar rate of COM
mission which was inaugurated by the
Union Pacific coast points and which the
other lines have been paying for some time.
This rate of commission was started by the
Union Pacific after it had lost its control
of the Oregon Short-line, and all the other
roads We're compelled to trail in to protect
their interests The result has been that the
rate of commission has been used to cut
the rates, and the situation on the North
Pacific coast has been badly demoralized
for some time. Now it is expected that the
trouble will extend to all the points in Cali
fornia which are reached by the two North
ern lines and by the Union Pacific as we'll.
Some time since the roads between KAN
sas City and st. Louis made rate of 81 be-
tween those two points, when the exposition
was under way in st. Louis. They rendered
these rates to their Eastern connections for
basing rates, thus creating an inequality
St. Louis-Chicago lines were very anxious
that this rate should not be made via Chi
cago, they feared it would demoralZe
their traffic. The Great Western has, how
ever, started the ball rolling and announced
to-day that on the days when the rate of 81
was effective between Kansas City and ST.
Louis, and when it was used by the Eastern
roads out of St. Louis for baSing purposes,
it will make a rate of 81 from Kansas City
TO Chicago. This rate is $3.50 under the
normal tariff, but is on the same basis
the rate of 81 between Kansas City and st.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA
A New Remedy which win Do IL.


Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many
people to be nearly if not quite incurable.
No good reason can be given why they
think so except that perhaps they have
tried various remedies without much, il
any, benefit. But the progress in every
branch of medicine has been such that
among other things lasting cure for indi-
gestion in it's chronic form as we'll as tenn
porary has been discovered and is now
placed before the public strictly on it's
merits permanent cure for all stomach
troubles or difficulties with the digestive
organs.
This new treatment is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. being put up in tablet
form so as to be easily taken and also to
preserve its good qualities for an indefinite
length Of time.
This remedy has produced surprising eff
in many cases where ordinary remedies
failed TO give even relief, Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets have fully cured
The splendid results from using this prep
aration are owing to the tact that II is
prepared and intended for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles only Ii is not a cure
all like so many advertised remedies
claiming to cure everything under the sun
but it is claimed that 1t is a certain cure
for dyspepsia, and any one suffering from
any form of Indigestion cannot fail TO get
permanent relief and cure from its use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients are
of such nature that when the tablets
are taken into the stomach they digest the
food no matter whether the stomach Is IN
good working order or not. You get sus-
,enance and strength to mind and body
ny reason of the food being properly di-
gested and at the same time the much
abused stomach is allowed TO rest and re-
Clperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits to be
derived from Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
the price is but 80 cents for fuil-sized pack
age and all druggists sell them.

An Eastern financial paper looks with ia
vor on the future of the Chicago, Indian
apolis & Louisville. In commenting on the
stock and securities, the financial article
says: IF one is prepared to purchase and
hold for a time the stock, preferred in par
ticular, appears to be a good purchase. The
road is commonly known as the "Monon
route" and previous to the recent reorgan-
ization was known as the Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago. The road was precpi-
tated into the hands of a receiver on Aug.
"a, 1896, the credit of the company having
been destroyed by a judicial decision in an
appeal from various suits arising out Of an
alleged guarantee by the Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago of the bonds of the
Richmond, Nicholasville, Irvine q Beatty
vile Railroad, of Kentucky. This decision
caused the HtigantS to attach the com
pany'S property in various States and the
holders of the floating debt having become
alarmed pressed for payment, and receiv-
ership was the outcome. The road was reor
ganized and reduction in fixed charges
was accomplished to the extent of about
$64 600 per year. The fixed charges are now
$3.50. 450 per aninlm. There is S., 000, 600 per
cent. preferred stock, and $10,5O0,OOO COM
mon. Should the earnings for the present
year equal those of 1896, they would be suf

the year ending June 80, 1897, is not yet out,
but the prOba bilitieS are that during this

charges, but it is confidently predicted in
some quarters that during the present year

LUETGERT JUROR SICK
TRIAL OF THE SAUSAGE MAKER
POSTPONED TILL WEDNESDAY.
Tilt Between n Witness and Attorney
Vincent over SesamOids-PrO-
posed GruesOme show.
cHIcAGo. sent. 1a.-The trial of Adolph

CHICAGO, Sept 1s.-The trial of Adolph
l.. Luetgert on the charge of numbering
his wife came to a standstill to-day owing
to the illness of juror, who is not ex-
pected to be well enough to attend to his
duties till Wednesday.
The court proceedings to-day began with
the cross examination of Prof. George V.
Bailey, and it was not long before Attorney
Vincent and the professor were involved
in a dispute over the use of a technical
term, which called for the interference of
the court. A small piece of bone was
handed to the witness and he was asked
to name it.
''That is a sesamoid," promptly asserted
the professor.
HAS it ever been boiled?" queried At
torney Vincent.
ut has"
Might not alkali water poured on a bone
produce the same effect?''
cit might in time. 1t would cause scaling
and softness after long time"
Attorney Vincent cross questioned Prof.
Bailey sharply on the point of sesamoids
and wanted to know if the witness could
tell the difference between a sesamoid bone
of human being and a similar bone upon
an animal The question seemed to worry
He admitted that a bruise or injury might
produce a sesamoid and said he had seen
sesamoid bones on the toes of animals.
The examination of Professor Bailey con-
tirued until 11:3O o'clock. The professor
startled Attorney Vincent by the assertion
that he discovered six sesamoid bones in
a single hand while student in the Uni
versity of Paris. Attorney Vincent de-
clared that surgical history contained no
reference to more than two sesamoids be-
ing found upon a hand or foot. Professor
Bailey replied he knew that fact and had
kept his discovery secret because he was
writing q book the subject. The wit
ness refused to make statement as to the
probable original location of sesamoid bones
handed him until he had an opportunity to
open them. He was granted until to-mor-
row morning.
At II 80 Juror Fowler was taken suddenly
i'll. He is now at the LIE Grande Hotel.
DR.. Mcnamara, who examined Mr.. Fowler
stated the latter was suffering from chlllS
and fever. The physician believed he could
out Juror Fowler being withdrawn from
active duty. If the juror becomes so III
that he must retire from the jury it would
mean retrial of the entire case. Judge
Tuthill adjourned his court till Wednesday
morning.
Whom court reconvenes Frank Bialk and
Frank Odorofsky will be recalled to estab-
lish the motive for the alleged murder.
They will, it is asserted, testify to having
seen Mary Siemering visit Luetgert in the
sausage factory at night.
A sensation created this morning in
the courtroom by the rumor that DrS. ALI
port and Rutherford, witnesses for the de-
fenSe were heard to remark While eXamin-
ing the bones that they were human. The
medical men deny this, however, and say
they never made the remark.

A GRUESOME SHOW.
Arnold Luetgert's Scheme for Making
Money Out of His Fathers Crime.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Arnold Luetgert,
with the famous center vat and his fathers
four Great Dane dogs, is planning to tour
the country at the conclusion of the
sausage makers trial. The history of the
wooden tank, young Luetgert says, he will
recite to the crowds he expects to attract.
The dogs will be taken as a sort of side
show. Since Adolph l.. Luetgert's arrest
the great Danes have guarded the factory
and the family home against intruders. one
of them lying on the front porch of the
residence and two others patrolling the fac
tory. Besides the vat and dogs Arnold
Luetgert is preparing to take many other
relics brought into prominence by the
trial Of his father for alleged wife murder.
The doors which covered the vat during
the alleged disintegration of Mrs Luet-
gert's body, the shovel found beside the
vat, some of the caustic notash and a num-
Der of views of the interior and exterior
of the factory will be exhibited. Arnold
Luetgert expects the family name and his
connection with the famous case will at
tract crowds to his exhibit.
