A STRANGE RACE.
Rival Railway Companies, Who Desire
to Own the First Road
Into the Yukon COuntry-Each Line will Be
About 400 Miles LOnS-The Roads Will
Run From Pyramid HarbOr to a
Point the Lewis River.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. IA railroad
building race involving the eXpendi-
ture of SIC, 900, 900 has been commenced
by two wealthy corporations, each of
which desires to own the first railroad
into the Yukon country. Each road
will be about 400 miles long, running
from Pyramid harbor, near the head
of Lynn canal, to points on Lewis
river below Five Finger rapids.
The companies back of the railroad
projects are the London Exploration
Co and the Yukon Co., organized last
summer by Andrew f. Burleigh, the
principal stockholders of which are
Philadelphia and New York men. Both
corporations have surveyors and en-
gineers at work between Pyramid har-
Dor and the Lewis river. The pro-
jectorG of both roads figure on an aver
age cost of over $40, 900 a mile, requir-
ing an outlay of S8.OOO,OOO for each
road.
The equipment for each will cost
about 81, 900, 600 more. Both companies
have secured right of way from the
Canadian government, and are now
working to secure from congress nee
esary rights of way through the so
miles of American territory.

partment store movement is spreading
to the secret societies. The members
of the different organizations form a
large part of the workmen, woodmen,
foresters. red men and other fraternal
and social organizations. Most of
these organizations have branches
and auxiliary branches COM
posed of women, the chief pat
ron of the department establish
ments. The trades and labor organi-
cations are already pledged to with
drawal of their patronage from the
department stores and are working to
have similar action taken by the secret
societies. All of the labor organiza-
tions are demanding the passage by
the city council of the ordinance de-
signed to prevent the encroachment of
the department stores, and such action
will probably be taken at the regular

A CHICAGO SYNDICATE
Will Purchase the Lopez Ranch, the Larg-
est in North Mexico.

est in North Mexico.
CHICAGO, Jan. ia Chicago syndi-
cate, with 100000 capital, has just
negotiated for the purchase of the
Lopez ranch, said to be the largest
ranch in North Mexico. August Jern-
berg, a real estate man of this city, left
for Mexico to clinch the deal by maxi
ing the first payment. The syndicate
has agreed to pay 100000 for the
ranch. The purchase is probably the
largest of it's kind negotiated by Chi
cagO capitalists in a number of years.
The ranch embraces 1900, 900 acres of
rolling prairie land. Besides it's agri-
cultural richness it contains valuable
deposits of asphaltum. Thirty thou
sand head of cattle are included in the
purchase.
But the principal scheme of the pur-
chasers was revealed by Mr.. Jernberg
before he left for Mexico He said:
1--WE intend to cOlonize the big ranch
as soon as we can get around to it.
The syndicate will take colonies down
there as fast as possible and sell them
land in different sections of the state
of Tamaulipas, where the ranch is
located"
In the syndicate there are few Wis
consin capitalists, notably banker of
Stoughton, who is president of the
Grand Falls Irrigation and Improves
ment Co.. which has large holdings IN
the Pecos valley, Ward county, Texas
In that valley the colonization plan
has been worked with marked success.
Fifty families from Wisconsin have
been located thGEs and quite a foqA5
ishing town haJgrown up. One of the
largest creameries in the south is about
to be built there under the direction of
former Gov. W. d. Hoard, of Wiscon-
sin, who is famous as a dairy man.
The same plan is to be tried in the Lo-
PEE ranch

ties.
HAVANA, VIA KEY WEST, Fla, Jan.
15.-In spite of the official Spanish dec
larations that the city is quiet, which
are the only reports allowed to be sent
by direct cable, the situation here con-
tinues very serious and the city is in
the greatest excitement. The city pre-
scented Thursday morning the most ter
rible aspect of military disorder.
The Plaza de Armas, or the main
square in front of the governor gen
erals palace, is defended by strong ar
tillery forces Without this security
the palace would be exposed to assault
from the rioters. Gen. Arolas assumed
the military command of the city and
was in constant conference with Gen.
Blanco
In spite of the great military display
made, the rioters continue parading
the streets.
At 1890 o'clock Thursday afternoon
a large crowd of rioters were about to
attack the Diario, and resisted a
charge made upon them by the civil
guards, but finally dispersed, gather
ing again in other streets.
Many arrests have been made, and
among them are wealthy Spanish mer-
chants
The peaceful residents and all the
Cuban families are panic-stricken.
The situation is considered identical
with that when Capt. Gen. Dulce was
deported to Spain by the volunteers in
1869.
The decree just issued by Gen. Blanco
against the press is positive proof OF
his weakness, and he has promulgated
it to mollify the rioters.
HAVANA, Jan. ia decree has been
published prohibiting the publication
in daily newspapers of cable dispatches
without previous censorship and with
out twelve hours notice of their re-
ceipt.
In addition, in future, the post Office
here will detain national and foreign
newspapers not having been previous
ly censored.
Violators of the law are warned
that they are under military jurisdic
ton.
Another edict will be published short
ly, forbidding the gathering of groups
of more than four persons either in the
streets or in the stores.
NJ. Molina. the chief of the staff o.
the insurgent Gen. Malta Rodriguez
has, it is announced, surrendered to the
| Spanish authorities.
Gen. Parade has issued a manifesto
ar nouncing his willingness to do ev
erything possible to bring about peace
in the district of Sancti Spiritus, prov
! ince of Santa Clara.
1t is announced from Spanish sources
that Lieut. Col. Felix Tegon, of the
insurgent army, has been killed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition

At 80 marriage is the wine of life; at 40
