Scalpers of the west already have
Negun their efforts to prevent the pas,
sage Of the Sherman and Cullom bills
by congress. These measures are iden-
tical and prohibit the dealing in rail
road tickets except by authorized
agents. The petition blanks contain
the following arguments:
/. The bill would tend to disturb
\ natural and legitimate right to dis
nose Of ones own property in the open
market.
2. 1t would enable the strong rail-
road systems to shut out the weak lines
" through business and thus disturb
competition.
8. It would send a citizen to prison
and brand him with infamy for dis
ncsing of his own property while i'm
posing no penalty upon the railroad
company for failure to redeem tickets
as provided.
4. The business Of ticket brokerage

NEWS Of THE RAIL-.
A PROPHECY THAT THE WYOMING
DIVISION WILL BE DOU-
BILE TRACKED.
Straws Along the Pacific Coast Show
the Direction OF the Transconti-
mental Wind-Why Local Business
is Handled Much Easier Than Dur
ing the Old-Time Rushes.

Back in 1890, when Mr.. Holcomb was
system, a fast mail train was suggested
by the government. Business on the
line at that time was something terrific,
everything considered, and the man
put on another track would have t. be
built. that the single track was being
crowded to the limit of its capacity.
While there may have been some
thing Of a figure in the remark. yet 1t
was doubtless prophetic Of the future.
Right now there is a method in the
plan of the reorganization committee
in securing harbors and terminal IA
c%ilities along the Pacific coast. and 1t
IS the prediction of this paper that in
less than two years the Overland rou e
will have lines from Wyoming's west
arn border to the coast looking some
thing like a crows foot upon the map.
It will own the Oregon Short Line. the
Central Pacific and a line from SAT-
Lake City to the southern Californ a
seacoast. All the vast traffic from De-
gon. Washington, Idaho, Utah, Cali,
fornia and Nevada will be gathered by
these long tentac'es from the parent
road and crowded over the road
through this state. acting much like a
great funnel. From the east it will
gather the traffic from the great middle
and Atlantic states, from Iowa. Mis-
souri,. Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.
through its eastern feeders and
through the Kansas Pacific branch.
and all will be concentrated at Chey-
enne to pass over a single track. The
logical result is sure to be a double
track from Cheyenne to Granger.
This fall the business of the main
line is probably in exceus Of that Of
1890. but the equipment is superior and
it is handled with greater ease Ten
trains Of today would have made 20
trains seven years ago. with all the
increased risk Of handling In Hol-
combe's time the engines were small
and in no way comparable with the
magnificent machines which now haul
trains of 40 loads with the same ease
that the old-time teapots pulled 90.
This is the reason why the IS crewa
now at work On the Sixth district are
enabled to handle as much business as
the 80 crews Of 1890. Another feature
recently introduced which has added
greatly to the hauling capacity is the
nusher system at Fort Steele, Medicine
Bow and Red Buttes.
On the Fifth district, between here
and Cheyenne, 10 crews are required
TO do the work. but there are Of course
many more engine crews. required,

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
\ Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and EffeC
tual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are q
tull or bloating sensation after eating
accompanied sometimes with sour OF
watery risings. a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and lungs
and difficult breathing; headaches
lckle appetite, and a gen.
eral ~played-out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter.
ior of the stomach could be seen 1t
would present a Shiny. inflamed condi-
tion.i
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treat,
ment which causes the food to be readi,
ly. thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces OF the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthful digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap.
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT.
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed Of Dis.
a~stase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being a paten,
medicine can be used with perfect safe
ty and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher of 271O Dearborn
street. Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from q
neglected cold in the head, whereby the

The petition and bond was filed In the
district court yesterday asking to have the
damage suit brought by Deere. Wells & Co
against the Milwaukee Railway company

was spent in trying the case during the pres.
ent term OF the federal court and the plain

which vas burning the rubbish on the piece

ant with the railway company. This raises
a very nice legal question, and upon its So

railway company is an organization under
the law of Wisconsin,, and Deere, Wells a
Co. under the laws of Iowa and Illinois. II
the plaintiffs can succeed in making the
court believe that Foreman Slack Peterson
Is sufficiently identified with the railway
company as to give it a residence in Iowa,
both ~litigants will be on the same basis
and the case will be tried in the district
court. If not, it must be tried in the fed
eral court. The greatest legal battle of the
case will probable be fought when the mo-
ton comes up for argument. The attorneys
for the railway company will resist the
effort to have the case tried in the state
court. They will claim that 1t is a separable
controversy and that Peterson is only brought
in for the purpose of keeping the case in

WINTER WHEAT LOOKS BAD
Crop Reports Up to March 26 Show Fad
State Of Things,
RETURNS INDICATE A HEAVY SHORTAGE
Condition the Worst Since Reports
Were Collected, with the Single
Exception of 1SS5-Lnckcd
snow Protection.

CHICAGO, March 29.-The monthly crop
report of the Orange Judd Farmer, compiled
from county returns received up 20 March
rs, makes the present condition OF winter
wheat the lowest since 1885, and with that
single exception, the lowest ever reported.
The general average is 1876, against $40 last
year and S5.3 in 1895. The government
records for the past sixteen years show that
the April report has averaged nearly one
point higher than the May following during
that period, and as unusual allowance for
possible future recovery has been made in
figuring this report of condition, 1t may be
accepted as a fact that the country Is face
to face with a third shortage of winter
wheat. To localize and specialize the disaster
which has ovcrtaken the crop, the conditions
In the six great winter wheat states, COM
pared with one year ago, are: Ohio so, or
fourteen points better; Indiana, 20, or thir-
teen points lower; Michigan, 81. or four
points better; Illinois, 40, or forty-one points
lower; Missouri, 20, or ten points lower;
Kansas, So, or three points lower. General
average of the six states 76, against So last
year. On the Pacific coast, in Texas and in
the eastern states, the season has been sat
isfactory, and etate averages are quite gen
orally high. The crop was seeded late and
did not secure good root growth before the
heavy freeze of the latter part of November.
1t went into winter lacking in vigor and the
abnormally cold weather in January, when
there was little snow protection in the Ohio
and Mississippi region, damaged it seriously.

District Court Notes.

The March term of the district court con-
vened yesterday morning with Judge Walter
l. Smith on the bench. The prospects are
that the term will be one Of the longest for
many years.
Among the leading cases to be tried is
that OF C. o.. Hood against the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company. The case
is one of personal injury. 1t has been tried
twice. The first trial resulted in a verdict
for the defendant and an appeal was taken
to the supreme court, the case being re-
manded. The second jury gave the plaintiff
a verdict for 81 900, which was set aside by
Judge Macy on the ground of conflict of in
structions. Hood resides at Glidden, la.
The pending suit Is for $50, 900 and will be
stubbornly fought by both sides.
On the criminal docket the most impor-
tant case to come up is that of j. j. Reilly
alias McHugh, charged with attempting to
murder Officer Nick O'Brien. Reilly protests
that he Is not the man, but his positive
identification by O'Brien and a number of
Others who saw him, both before and after
the shooting, makes a strong case for the
state.
The cases of the state against Duncan and
Shaffer, both charged with seduction, will
also be called for trial.
