WISCONSIN CENTRAL RECEIVES
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
CALLS FOR DECISIVE ACTION.
CIAL OUTLINE OF JUST WHAT
IS INTENDED.
NOT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE.
VIII See the Error of the Pro-
posed Reduction.

The contemplated ealing by the Wis
consin Central road of the going rate
for merchandise shipped from Chicago
to the Twin Cities from so to 40 cents,
news Of which was given the st. Paul
and Minneapolis jobbers yesterday
through the medium of the G 10 b e,
has been duly taken UP by the Jobbers'
union, and while the members of that
body appreciate the fact that some de-
cisive action is called for, and in the
near future they rest assured that the
matter will be handled without undue
commotion or the serious disturbance
of their commercial interests.
When the G b e S story was read
yesterday morning those jobbers who
recalled the action on the part Of the
wisconsin Central people, matter Of
year ago, recognized the significance
OF it, and little or no time was lost in
getting together the transportation
committee of the Jobbers' union. This
was yesterday morning. Having had
no official notice of the intended reduc-
ton of the Chicago rate, the jobbers
appointed committee to wait upon
the local representatives of the Wis
cons1n Central with a request for de-
tailed information as to the meaning
and significance of the reduction to be
made.
This information, it is expected. will
be furnished without delay. The
Wholesalers, while loath to discuss the
matter until more is known about the
exact situation, express the belief that
neither the Wisconsin Central nor any
other road will insist on taking any
step such as that mentioned unless it
VIII result IN some material advantage
TO the company. They are hopeful of
being able to show in this instance, as
1t is said was done before, that a re-
duction of the Chicago rate to the
Twin Cities, which would place the
chicago and Milwaukee wholesalers 20
cents nearer the territory now occupied
by st. Paul and Minneapolis jobbers.
Will not be to the advantage Of the
Wisconsin Central line. The iobbers
VINO We're seen yesterday on the sub
Ject refuse to consider it possible that
there will be the slightest reduction.
but the gossip is that, since the Wis
consfn Central before contemplated a
similar reduction and did not put it
into effect, the Twin City merchants
have been giving the road fair share
OF the business coming up here via
Chicago or Milwaukee, although, as
Will be readily seen, the bulk of the
merchandise is shipped by lake and
rail from the East at rate lower than
via Chicago Little doubt is expressed
but that when the matter is gone into
thoroughly nothing will be done which
will result to the detriment Of the
commercial interests of the two cities,
st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS. e.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.


This may read as though we were
putting it little strong because it is
generally thought by the majority of
form is incurable, or practically so. But
we have long since shown that Dyspep-
sic. is durable, nor is it such difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite eX-
tremes or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach with "bitters,"
"after dinner pills. etc, which inVari-
some cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief Such treatment Of the
stomach simply make matters worse.
What the stomach wants is rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained?
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
a comparatively new remedy, but its
success and popularity leaves no doubt
as to it's merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
pcpsia may be, because as before stat
ed, the tablets will digest the food even
if the stomach is wholly inactive. To il
lustrate our meaning plainly, If you
take 800 grains of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in temperature
of SO degrees, and put with it one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will di-
gest the meat or eggs almost as per-
fectly as if the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach
The stomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nourished and at the
same time radical, lasting cure Of
dyspepsia will be made because the
much abused stomach will be given,
to some extent, a much needed rest.
Your druggist will tell you that of the
many remedies advertised to cure dy-
spcpsia none of them has given so
complete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not
least in Importance in these hard times
is the fact that they are also the cheap
est and give the most good for the
least money.

Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City rcad,
chief engineer Of the Southern Mime

Mr.. Egan has been for the past year
a resident Of Savannah, and the state
ment is made that during that time
the Morgan interests have been at
work securing control of the property
which is now given into the keeping of
the st. Paul man.
Mr. Egan succeeds H. M. Conner,
who was receiver for the Central until
a reorganization was effected in 1895
by New York syndicate. His presl-

great change for the better, both in
New York and in the territory

THE CAKE WALK
Was FormeIy n Marriage Ceremony
Among the Plantation Negroes.

The cake walk proper had it's origin
among the French negroes Of Louisi-
ana more than a century ago, says the
Chicago Chronicle. There is little
doubt that it is an offshoot of some
one of the old French country dances.
It resembles several Of them in FORM
From New Orleans it spread over the
entire South and thence to the North.
1t was found of convenience to the
plantation negroes. They were not
welded by license, and it was seldom
that the services of a preacher were
called in. At cake walk a man
might legitimately show his preference
for woman and thus publicly claim
her for wife. In effect the cake walk
was not different from the old Scotch
marriage, which required only public
acknowled gment from the contracting
parties So this festival became in
some sense a Wooing, an acceptance or
rejection and a ceremony. This ex-
plains its popularity with the blacks,
outide of its beauties, with the ac-
compa niment of music which is COM
petent at all times to command negro
support. Cake-walking has improved
as do most things that are constantly
practiced. 1t has lost it's old signifi-
canoe in the South. Negroes now get
married when they marry at all, in
white folks fashion. 1t has became

GINSENG CULTURE.
Secret of the Conditions Reaaised to
Grow 1t Has Reen Solved.

The secret of raising ginseng has been dis
covered at last. 1t is being grown upon Mis-
souri, soil and cultivated by a Missouri farm
er, says the. st. Louis Republic. China has
an unlimited demand for the ginss1g root,
and because OF its scarcity pays the hansome
price of $3.50 for single pound of it. Here
tofore tie market has been supplied from
tain mountain sections, where the herb
grows wild. Repeated attempts to cultivate it
have proved failure But, according to
Waldo Parks, guest at the Laclede hotel,
Spencer Brown, farmer down in Texas
county, is cultivating an acre of ginseng. 1t
natures in six years. From the product of
that acre he expects to realize the modest
sum of $20.0OO He will limit the product
so as to keep the price up.
Mr.. Brown says that ginseng fourishes in
rich limestone soil, shaded from the sun. It
requires IS months to germinate and six years
for full growth He is making no secret of
the discoverery, but explains its mysteries
to any one.
By the Chinese ginseng is considered a
medicinal ingredient OF wonderful powers.

Indications Of the Increase in Pop

The members of the railroad and
warehouse commission have returned
from Chandler, on the Southern Min
nesota division of the Milwaukee road,
where the residents have petitioned for
a passenger depot The commission
ers found that the location where the
depot is desired is nearly midway be-
tween Iona and Edgerton and about
eight miles from each, and the popula-
tion is limited. Two small houses are
made to do for station, office and
freight depot. The commission has as
yet reached no decision.
Complaint has been filed with the
commission by II. Quamberg and Will
lam Norgren, doing business at Jas
par as the Jaspar Milling company,
asking for a Y at the intersection of
the Willmar & Sioux Falls, and the
Burlington Cedar Rapids, and North
ern roads, near Jaspar, in Pipestone
county. The petitioners set forth that
the Willmar &l Sioux Falls road is a
part of the Great Northern system,
and by that means is in a position to
handle much grain, flour, WOOD, live
stock and other products, and that the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North
ern goes through a rich territory in
Iowa in the east and south, and like
wise handles many of the above men,
toned products. Therefore the petit
TONERS urge the necessity of an order
for some proper facilities of transferr-
ing these from one line to another

CAUGHTA SHARK.
Fishermen Trap IT in a Net and Drag
1t ashore.


Martin Preston the fisherman about
Curtis bay, caught a live shark in his
seine yesterday afternoon in the Pata-
psco, near the Quarantine station 1t
measured little more than eight feet,
and, besides giving Mr., Preston and his
assistants a lively atusSle, tore up nearly
2G0 feet Of his seine, says the Baltimore
American.
Sharks are rare in the Patapsco, and
when Mr.. Preston saw that it was a
real live one he made up his mind to
land it alive, and was successful only
after one of the hardest fights of his
life.
The shark, which evidently followed
some ship up the bay, became tangled
in the net, which was set out near the
shore and Staked. The fishermen MOTTO
ed an unusual commotiOn out toward
the end of the seine, and supposed they
had struck big school of fish, which
would met" them a big check from
some wholesale dealer.
They were surprised to find the
shark. A stout rope was made fast to
tho big sea fish's tail, and it was tow,
ed ashore at the old brass foundry,
near Stone House Cove and there Sc
curely anchored. The news soon spread
through the village and South Balti-

crowded with people, eager to see the
curiosity, which was kept on exhibit
