NEW ROAD TO NEW YORK.
Talk of a New Line That VIII Save
Time.


All the possibilities inconnection with
routes to New York have not yet been
exhausted. A scheme is now on foot
whereby the 500 line expects before
another year to have direct connec-
lions with New York city, and be able
to run through cars tos that city, Civ
ing the travellers from st. Paul the
advantage of through service and
shorter time than at present by at
least three hours while on freight the
time will be shortened probably full
half day.
This change will be brought about
through a road now known as the
Northern New York, which traverses
the AdirondackS, covering good part
of the distance between Ottawa and
New York city. By bridging the St.
Lawrence and completing the line to
the terminals mentioned the new line
will give to the Canadian Pacific a
connection with New York seventy
five miles shorter than the present
one, and the 500 people, who run over
the Canadian Pacific, propose to run
down the new line to New York.
The scheme is not on paper, but
work is now being pushed with rapid
ity at both ends of the line. Pepard
and Balch, of Minneapolis, have the
contract, which requires that their
work shall be completed by Nov. l:
The bridge over the st. Lawrence will
cost $500, 900, while the total additions
to the line will cost about $4,000, 900.
The money for the Improvement mas
come chiefly from Wall street, though
some of it has come from Minneapolis,
where one of the directors has been
spending several days. The Canadian
government has shown its falth IN the
enterprise by a subsidy of 5000, 600.
While the new line expects TO nanaie
GOOD deal of the Canadian Pacific
traffic. it has another string to its bow

were over 100000 summer residents.

BEEN WEST HUNTING.
w. III. Addicl1s, of Counsel for the
baltimore & Ohio.

Among the passengers on the big
overland train which pulled in shortly
before o'clock last night over the
Northern Pacific from the West, was
W. H. Addicks, of counsel for the Bal
timore & Ohio road at Philadelphia,
and a brother of J. Edward Addicks,
the man who created such stir by his
attempt to break into the United
States senate from the state of Della
ware. Counselor Addicks has been
hunting for the past month near the
head waters of the Skagit river in
British Columbia, accompanied by a
New York attorney, George N. Dick
erson.
Mr.. Addicks came up into this coun-
try early in August, via the Great
lakes and went to the West by way Of
Staples, so that he was not in St Paul.
He reports that although game was
not as plentiful as he could wish, his
visit to the Western wilds was most
enjoyable, and although some fifty
miles from civilization, in the saddle
most of the time, he spent the time
very comfortably.
Never having before Travelled in this
part of the West, he was struck, he
says, by the very excellent, dignif1ed
train service he found on the Western
roads Mr.. Addicks left last night for
the East via the Omaha and North

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
New Remedy which Will Do 1t.

A New Remedy Which Will Do 1t.
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 rem
edies without much, If any benefit. But
the progress in every branch of medi-
cine has been such that among other
things a lasting cure for indigestion
in its chronic form as we'll as tempor-
airy, has been discovered and is now
placed before the public strictly on its
merits as a 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 it's good qualities
for an indefinite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms of indiges-
ton, and in many cases where ordl-
nary remedies failed to give even relief,
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have fully
cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fact that
it is prepared and intended for Dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles only. 1t
is not a cure-all like so many adver-
thing under the sun, but it is claimed
that it is a certain cure for Dyspepsia
and any ore suffering from any form
of indigestion cannot fail to get perma-
nent relief and cure from it's use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients
are of such a 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 sustenance and strength
to mind and body by reason of the
food being properly digested and at the
same time the much abused stomach
is allowed to rest and recuperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits tc
be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the price is but so cents for
full sized package and all druggists
sell them.

M. & ST. L. Claims 1t Doesn't Need
Better Facilities.


The answer in the complaint of
the citizens of Emmons, in Freedom
county against the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis road for a station at that place
was received yesterday at the Office of
the state railroad and warehouse conf
mission, and sets forth in substance
that the company believes it is furnish
ing the compliments all the service TO
which they are entitled, and that to
require the establishment of any fur
Their facilities would be unfair and I'M
reasonable. The road, therefore, prays
that the request of the Emmons people
be denied by the commission.
In the answer it is set forth that
between Twin Lakes and Norman,
which have been maintained for some
time as stations, there are adequate
trackage facilities for both passenger
and freight traffic. 1t is stated that
Norman is 6 4-10 miles from Twin
Lakes and 5 $40 miles from Lake Mills,
and that the three places occupy places
on the company's right Of way within
q distance of II n miles. Further, the
company says the spot where the En-
mons people would have new sta
ton established is but three-fourths of
a mile from the station of Norman H.
Iowa, and that Norman has always
been accessible to petitioners and has
IurnlSnSO ample ana SuIHClenl IaClllllSS
for traffic
The road points out that Norman
was established and maintained for
some time before the business and in
dustries of Emmons were established,
and that to compel the establishment
of a new station at EmmonS, where
the yard tracks would have to be built
on a gradient of 1 per cent, would be
expensive, inconvenient and even dam
gerous. The order of the commission
if issued would necessitate the maiH-
tenance of two stations within three
fourths of a mile and of four on a
strip Of road 12A miles in length. This
the railroad people assert would be
unfair and unreasonable. In conclu-
sion, they pray, inasmuch as Nor
man offers all the needed facilities, that
the commission deny the application.
A hearing will have to be held in the
near future, and will probably be at
Emmons or at Albert Lea. The date
was not fixed yesterday.

THE MERRITT INSURANCE.
Queer Complication Shown by Tes-

queer complication SHOWN by Aes-
timony on the Stand.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 16.-The his
tory of the insurance deal alleged 10
have been worked by an agent OF the
Manhattan Life Insurance company
and by S. A. Phillips on the policy held
by c. C. Merritt, is an interesting one.
According TO the testimony Of witnesses
in the Merritt Harris case, now on trial
in the district court here, Samuel A.
Phillips and the general agent, whose
name did not come out, received in all
SIS, 900, that should have gone to Z. G.
Merritt'S estate and there is nice
legal point as to whether the company
is not liable to Mr.. Merritt'S creditors
for the amount Of the policy, $50, OOO,
which it has paid to Mrs. G. G. Mef-
rift Henry E. Harris and Leon1das
Merritt both testified that the bene-
ficiary of the policy received $4,000 less
than the full amount of it, and that
it was paid to Mr.. Phillips and the other
person Henry Harris testified that
shortly after Mr. Merritt's death he
called on Mrs Merritt. and found her
in consultation with Mr. Philips anu
his attorney, Judge HOllenbeck. Phll-
lips, it seems, had discovered that the
policy. which had been made payable
to the Merritt estate, had been changed
during Mr.. Merritt's last illness, so that
Mrs. Merritt was made the beneficiary
This was done without the knowledge
OF the company, and Phillips demand
ed IS, 900 for his silence. Mrs. Merritt
finally agreed to his terms, and the
company was requested to remit two
drafts, one to Phillips and one to her
The deal was consummated in Mime
apolis, and Mr.. Harris testified that the
general agent Of the company there re-
ceiyed s. 500 of the $4,000. AS the COM
pany paid out the amount of the policy
to Mrs. Merritt, when legally it should
have been paid to the Merritt estate,
as the company did not know that the
beneficiary had been changed, ques-
ton as to whether the company is not
liable to the estate for the whole $780,
900 now arises.

More Blood May Re Shed in Indi-
OSGOOD, Ind, Sept 16.-There will
be an awful reckoning for the slaugh-
ter of the five men in the Versailles
jail. All the victims have many rela-
4ives and friends, who have deter
mined that somebody must suffer for
the wholesale lynching. Everybody
here feels that more blood will be
shed There is a feeling that the mob
acted hastily as to Levi and Jenkins.
The only testimony against them was
Hostetter's statement that they were
involved in the Wooley burglary. The
inquest was renewed today. Many
witnesses were called, but not one
could identify any one connected with
the mob Squire Laswell, the acting
coroner, concluded the inquest at noon
and rendered a verdict that Gordon
and Andrews had come to their deaths
by hanging, and Jenkins, Levi and
ShuIler by being dubbed or shot to
death The verdict ended by saying
that the slayers of the men were UNI
known.
Judge New charged the grand jury
when it assembled today, and, after
giving the details of the deplorabIe
affair. cautioned the members of the

NEW MILEAGE FORM
Submitted to Western Roads By the
Executive Committee


CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The executive
committee of the Western Passenger
association, met today for the purpose
of hearing the report of the subcom-
mittee, which has had under cOnsidera-
ton the adoption Of a form of inter
changeable milage tickets to be used
on Western roads. The committee re-
ported that it had practically agreed
upon the form of the ticket to be adopt
ed and the executive committee took
the form of ticket under consideration.
1t was the opinion of all members of
both committees that the time was
close at hand when the Western roads
must put an interchangeable mileage
ticket on the market, but beyond this
the meeting of today did not SO. The
chances are that the interchangeable
ticket will not be placed upon the mar
ket before the commencement of next
year. It will, however, be placed upon
sale as soon as the consent of all the
roads to it's use has been obtained and
the cooperation Of these roads which
are not members Of the Western Pas
senger association secured.

Only Big business Prevents Freight
Rate Cutting.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Western freight
rates show no signs of suf-
fering, and there is much feel
ing among the stronger roads
against the small fellows who. they
say, are cutting the rates without any
cause whatever. There is not a single
one of the roads but has all the traffic
it can handle and the large roads say
that it is the height of foolishness to
cut rates. AS long as the heavy traffic
is in sight there is not any great dam
ger that the roads will cut rates very
deeply, but the conditions are very
much unsettled and nothing but the
large amount of business that is be-
ing offered to other roads prevents very
serious decentralization.

Passenger Men Anxious to Stop
Present Decentralization.


The passenger men are much eXer-
cised in this territory over the unset
tied condition of affairs. and are wait
ing patiently until a meeting of the
" estern Passenger association can be
held to correct the evils of which they
complain. Just at present the clashing
interests of the Union Pacific, South

lines will have to be reconciled before

yesterday that this week should see
some kind of an armistice after which
the notice of meeting could be sent
out. This meeting. it is believed, will
be held early next week in Chicago.

and nothing but this meeting and
