and smaller merchants. To certain
extent the great markets OF the
country can take care of themselves
because of their strength, but the
smaller unquestionably need protec-
ton.
Railway discrimination as now prac-
ticed makes and unmakes markets.
It's effect is identical with the condi-
tons that would exist in case where
merchandise has been imported at an
under-yaluatlon and thrown on the
market in competition with goods on
which full duty had been paid by an
honest importer Private shippers
with special rates and rebates make
honest competition out OF the ques-
ton, and honest merchants would
like to see such conditions made I'M
possible.
The merchants association con-
tends for a uniform classiic atiOn Of
frelghts-the same price for the same
public service-and common carriers
should be honest enough to grant 1t.
1t is an encouraging sign that rail
way officials have at last begun to
realize the extent to which the values
Of the properties they manage are
being menaced by rate cutting, ticket
scalping, and similar evils, and that
in an attempt to remedy these evils
they have Joined forces with the re-
putable element which has built up
the railways of the country and
from whom the best and substantial
support will always come. With the
doing away of the evils sought to be
abolished the transportation lines
will be on a better business basis
than they have ever been before.
Securities will become more substan-
tial properties because earnings OF
common carriers can then be pred
icated on a known basis.

The action brought by Philip q.
Quentmeyer, the well-knoWn Water
town contractor and capitalist, against
Charles Reichert, a town of Clyman
farmer. to recover on an alleged note
of 81, AGO which &c purchased from
the late VI. I. Rambusch in February,
1896, together with Il mortgage secur
ing the same, was on trial in circuit
court before Judge Dick Tuesday
az u ednesday. Rambusch assigned
the note and mortgage to Quentmeyer
in March, 1896, but said assignment
was not recO .ded until November ),
1896, after r. mbusch had abscOnded.
V hen Quentneyer learned of Ram
busch's many fraudulent transactions
he looked W Reichert and had an
Interview with him. To the latter
he exhibited the note and mortgage
and he acknowledged the signatures
to be genuine. MIR. Quentmeyer test
ified that when Reichert was informed
that the amount called for in the dOcu
ment was 81, 400 he was very much
agitated and excited, and exclaimed:

confidence in him. The mortgage

for $500, Rambusch having raised the
same after recording, making it
81, 400 instead of $4O0 when he sold it
to Quentmeyer.
Here question arose which prob
ably decided the case Was Reichert
negligent in signing the note in blank
if he did so? He denied that he did
so sign it and contended that Quent-

merits. Experts were placed on the
stand to show that the amounts were

interchangeable Mileage.

F. G.. Donald, commissioner of the
Central Passenger association, explain
ing the interchangeable 1000 mile
ticket issued by the Mileage Ticket
bureau of the association, in a circular
just issued, says:
81 have pleasure in advising that
the following modified conditions,
governing use of the above form OF
transportation, were unanimously
adopted to become effective on or be-
fore December 1 next, by a meeting
of the representatives Of lines parties
to the interchangeable ticket, held at
Chicago on 11th-12th inst:
"First, as indicated by sample ex-
change ticket attached hereto, the
form has been so simplified as to reduce
to the greatest possible practical min
imum the time necessary to properly
validate it for passage.
Second, the contracts OF the mile
age and exchange tickets have been
SO amended as not to require users
signature in the presence of the ticket
agent, thereby enabling the holder to
affix his signature to the mileage strip
at such time and under such circum-
stances as best meets his conveniences,
and to arrange thrOugh.the services of a
messenger or hotel porter to procure
tickets and baggage checks in advance
of arrival at station.
'sThird, the condition limiting ex-
change tickets to a specified train is
dispensed with. The amended form
will be valid to begin continuous
passage to destination by any train
on date issued as indicated by Office
stamp on reverse Of ticket, or by any
train up TO midnight of the day follow
ing such date.
''These notifications were agreed
upon with the object of meeting the
wishes and subscribing the cOnvenien, G
of commercial travellers and other
users Of mileage tickets; it is believed
that the new arrangement will ade-
quately meet the objections Of delay
and hindranceS at ticket Offices here
tofore in some instances encountered
In behalf of the companies parties tC

specially bespeak your consideration
and cooperation.
The executive committee of the
Mileage Ticket bureau met on the 18th
inst, to arrange for the issuance OF in
terline exchange tickets and baggage
checks between the companies partie:
to the interchangeable ticket to such
an extent as may be found practicable
and needful."

with the giving qualities of the food.
1t tears down old, half-dead tissues and

Through the blood it acts directly on the
lungs, driving out all impurities and dis
