After considerable discussion and

GERS of the lines interested have de-
cided to abolish excess fares on the
flyers between Chicago and Colorado
points. Incidentally the speed of
these space-annihilating trains will
also be reduced when the new ruling
goes into effect. The roads inter-
ested are the Rock Island, Burling-
ton. Northwestern, Santa Fe and
Union Pacific. and the decision to
abolish excess fares and curtail
speed was reached at a conference
Tuesday. Under the present
schedules. the running time of
the Rocky Mountain limited and
other flyers between Chicago and
Denver is q hours, while the east
bound trip is made in half an hour
less. The ordinary passenger train
time is 33 hours, and the flyers will
probably strike happy medium and

WHERE OUR BOYS ARE BOUND.
No Doubt OF Their Being With Miles
Porto Rican Expedition.

EOrtO hlcan expedition.
While it is reasonably certain that
Gen. Garretson's brigade, including
the 9th Illinois volunteer infantry and
Company A. of this city, is with Gen.
Miles Porto Rican expedition, much
interest and anxiety will naturally
exist here in Rock Island until some
definite intelligence is received. To-
days special correspondence from
Washington to the Chicago Times
Herald has the following: Gen.
Miles sent word from Guantanamo
that he had ten transports and was
awaiting a convoy of warships. He
explained that Admiral Sampson was
some distance up the coast, presuma-
bly, at or near the bay of Santiago.
The rumor Immediately gained cur
rency that the ten transports were
loaded with troops and that some of
the forces in Santiago had been en-
banked. The war department had
had no report of such an embarkation,
and in fact was ignorant of the names
of the organizations on board ship, as
well as the number of men in them.
Gen. Miles was instructed to enlighten
Washington on these points. In a
previous dispatch he spoke of having
a brigade of infantry and four bat
teries of artillery aboard ship.
In another dispatch he said he
had planned landing Gen. George
A. Garretson's brigade at Cabanas.
west of Santiago bay, but was pre-
vented by orders from Washington.
A press dispatch from the front saws
most of Gen. Guy V. Henry's division
is still on troop ships. Gen. Henry
has two brigades. Gen. Henry NJ.
Duffield's brigade, consisting of the
SD and Saith Michigan and 9th Mas
sachusetts regiments, were landed
and took part in the fighting. 1t is
likely, therefore, that it is Gen. Gar
retson's brigade which has not disem-
barked. This includes the 9th Hi
nois, 9th Massachusetts, and Sth Ohio.
Two companies of the Illinois regi-
ment were left at Charleston and were
ordered to follow with Gen. Wilson's
brigade. Some war officials are of
the opinion that the 1st Illinois regi-
ment is also on shipboard. The four
batteries are supposed TO be part of
Gen. Randolph's command"
II is evident that Gen. Garretson's

held at the city hall last evening.

the survivors of the civil war who
saw actual fighting and having a
membership of $1,000 veterans in the

not given up all hopes of the presi-

Profits In Dairyins.

1t is well known that the farmers
who are the most successful are those
who make IA speciality of dairying.
This is due to the fact hat a market Is
always ready for milk and butter. The
evidence that dairying pays Is the fact
that even with cows that are pur-
chased, and of no recognized breed, the
farmers manage to make a profit. WIN
better stock success is almost certain.
1t is possible for a farmer to keep twice
as many cows when he makes Il large
profit, because he can incur greater ex-

Beet sugar experts say that the beet,
in order to be rich In sugar, must have
A chance to send Its tap-roots down into
The subsoil. The factory wants smooth
roots, not those that are all FINGERS
and toes" Thus they expect the grow
pr to subsoll his beet land In the fall,
by following with some sort of subsoll-
stirring pillow in the furrow made by
he ordinary plow. Many farmers will
consider this quite a task, and possibly
DC a little slow to bind themselves to
grow sugar beets under these cordi-
ions. For most soils this %subsoiling
will not be so difficult as It may look
at first glance. The work can be done
In the fall, and should be done with
greatest care. All manurial substances
should be applied in the fall. Stable
manure should be well rotted and ap-
piled In moderate doses. Superphos-
plate may be used quite freely with
out detrlment. Close planting is abso-
lutely necessary. The individual roots
should weigh from one to three pounds
only. Larger roots are deficient in
sugar. The rows are made about
twenty inches apart, and the plants left
about five to eight inches apart In the
rows,
