NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Bradstreet's report
tomorrow will say: The stimulating IN
fiuences of the apparently near approach or
peace, coupled with the generally expected
beneficial effects it is hoped will flow from
the opening up of new markets in the
lands added to the national domain, seem
to increase as the summer wanes That the
improvement, while as yet admittedly one
largely of sentiment, is not entirely so IS
proven by reports of still further In
creased distribution of staple goods in the
West Northwest and Southwest where the
excellent crop situation has rendered harm-
less the supposed benumbing effects of war;
So far as the crop situation is concerned

age to this most widely growing and in
trinscially valuable of the country cereals.
While the tendency generally is to concede
some diminution in the corn yield as a re-
suit of the recent drought, the steadiness
OF the price of that cereal bears witness To
the willingness of the trade to believe that
some falling Off in this years yield can be
safely permitted in view of the bumper
crops of recent years.
Prices are quite generally firm or tending

A passenger rate war that will affect d.
rectly every fare in the West and indirectly
half of the tariffs of Eastern and Southern
lines has been declared Next Monday the
rate between Chicago and St. Paul and Min
neapolis will be IS. The tariff now is $11.5O.
On the same day and thereafter until peace
is declared the rate between Chicago and
Omaha will be So % The normal rate is
Si2.75. Tickets now may be purchased be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City for $105O
The normal tariff is $3.50. 1t is expected
that this rate will go down to 1925 within
few days. The Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul took the initiative in the fight. Other
lines have declared their intention of follow
ing its lead. Blame for the necessity for
these reductions is placed by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul on the Canadian Pa
ctic. That line, the Milwaukee q st. Paul
declares in its notice, brought about a war
of rates to Alaska points. The application
of these low rates-about 60 per cent. below
authorized tariffs-affected the Chicago-St.
brokers have had no difficulty in selling
tickets for either ST. Paul or Minneapolis
for IS and $3.50 The same rates have been
made by the brokers for weeks from st.
Paul to Chicago. The reductions made will
affect not only st. Paul, Omaha and Kansas
City traffic, but all that beyond the new
fares being rendered as basing rates to con-

BIG FOUR MONON DEAL
IN FIVE YEARS ALL WOULD BE THE
C., c., c. & ST. l.. RAILWAY
Eight New Scalping Offices Opened at
indianapolis This Week-A New
Plan to Handicap ScaIpers.

The rumored consolidation of the Big
Four, the Monon and the Cincinnati. Ham
ilton & Dayton lines is still the subject of
conversation and speculation, although in
the case of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton President Woodford says there is
not the least foundation for these reports
A railroad official of over thirty years ex-
perience, in conversation yesterday con-
corning the reported deal, said a pooling
or traffic arrangement, such as it is said
the Big Four and the Monon to enter
into, would make the weak line weaker and
the strong line stronger. He cited the case
of the Vandalia and the Indianapolis & ST.
Louis. In 1875 the two companies, to cut
down expenses entered into a pooling ar
rangement and Maj John E. Simpson was
appointed general manager of the COM
bined interests. The Vandalia being the
shortest line, all through trains were run
over it between st. Louis and 1ndianap-
oils, and only two accommodation trains
were ruin over the Indianapolis & st. Louis
The fast freight train service was all placed
on the Vandalia, and the Indianapolis q
st. Louis soon became little else than
side track for the Vandalia. The Vandalia
acted very honorably in the payment of the
allotted percentage to the Indianapolis &
81. Louis Tor TWO years anu three HOuthS,
then, having practically wiped out the In
dianapolis & ST. Louis as a through line
the Vandaia people claimed to have be-
come tired of putting up so much of their
money in the agreement as was allotted
to the Indianapolis & st. Louis, and gave
notice of their intention to cancel the
agreement. The Vandalia did so, and had
become a strong line at the expense of the
Indianapolis & St. Louis. The latter was
obliged to begin at the bottom and build
UP it's business, and it was fifteen years be-
fore it got back to the position 1t occupied
as through line between st. Louis and
Indianapolis. In the end the security
holders were the greatest sufferers, as in
variably is the case where strong line gets
control of what has been considered weak
line. No one will question that could the
Big Four, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day.
ton and the Monon be operated under one
general management a considerable saving
could be effected in taking off trains, con-
solidating agencies, etc, but, said the
Official "a few years from now everything
would be Big Four. and the c., III. & d.
and the Monon would simply be side tracks
for the former. the latter has very SUI
perior terminal facilities at the points
touched by the c., Fl. & d. and the Monon."

The Town Liar,

There is always story in circula-
ton about acme one. There is always
a confidential lie being whispered
through the community about some
citizen and every one is admonished
to say nothing about it, and finally
every body knows it but the man in
question. If you have friend who
is made the subject of town gossip
it is your duty to tell BIN about it.
If you keep still and allow your
friends reputation to be stained and
trampled under foot without chance
TO defend himself, you are doing a
great injustice. We don't believe in
Matching up trouble for any one, and
we hate to see a man convicted of a
'cT1me in the midst OF the people with
out chance to explain the matter.
1t wonld be good thing if lies we're
left painted on the atmosphere IN
which they were told and the liars
picture attached to them. There
wouldn't be 30 many told but the at
'mosphere would be full of word pic
lures, and what beautiful selection
at would be.-Kahoka Courier.

A Patriotic Girl.

A few days ago Will Cowan was as
tonished to get at the postoffice let
ter from the war department address,
ed to Miss Mary Cowan, his ten year
old daughter. He was considerably
puzzled.
1t turns out however, that it was a
letter from the war department de-
cining her services as a nurse in the
Spanish war. ..
The child had read a great deal
about the war and without saying
anything to anybody wrote letter to
the Department offering her services
as a nurse for the soldiers of Uncle
Sam.
The letter was polite note from the
Department to the effect that no
women nurses would go with the
troops. ........r. A.
That ten year old child should

traceable TO microscopic germ, many
of which are useful, but the large ma.

materially checked this vast loss, but
too few tillers of the soil possess the

such scotliug by two distinguished

Pure Water Essential.

As the country becomes older, the
supply of surface water becomes more
contaminated and unhealthy, aud
greater care should be taken TO supply
pure water for the stock, with deep

water is necessity for the condition
of all kinds of stock. Water is direct
