TALK OF REVIVING THE OLD
TRANSCONTINENTA PASSEN-
GER ASSOCIATION.
ALASKA BUSINESS NEEDS IT.
SITUATION IN CHICAGO-ST. PAIJy,
RATE MATTERS REPORTED
IMPROVING.
ANOTHER TEST OF THE MARKET.
sions for u Number of Associa-
ton Meetings.

There is talk of once more reviving
the old Transcontinental Passenger as
ISOLATION, and it is likely that meeting
VIII be held in the near future for
that purpose. The threatened trouble
over the Alaska trouble has stirred up
some of the roads to the necessity of
getting the old association into working
order once more, if serious demoraiiza-
ton is to be avoided. Just how the
Canadian Pacific with its demands for
differentialS on Pacific coast business
is to he got around is a matter to be
settled when the meeting convenes, but
in some quarters there is strong feel
ing that it will remain on the outside
and that as long as it does so there is
very little chance of forming an asso-
citation which will be satisfactory to all
of its members.
The situation in Chicago-St. Paul
rates is improving very much. The
chairman of the Western Passenger
association has just made test of the
Chicago market, and the result has
been that only four tickets have been
found which were sold at a rate under
tho authorized tariff The tickets We're
two from each of two roads, and these
lires deny in the strongest terms that
they have had any dealings with brok-
erS in any way. Two months ago q
test of the market showed tickets Of
all of the roads, and there was hardly
Il pretense made of maintaining the
rates.
Western roads have agreed to make
a rate of $3.50 from Duluth to Chicago
for the meeting of the Electrical asso-
ciatiOn which is to be held here in June.
The same roads have agreed to make
a rate of one and one-third fare for
delegates to the monetary convention
to be held in Indianapolis the latter
part of this month. The rate will APP
ply from points in trans Missouri ter
ritory and from points in the Eastern
committee territory of the Western
Passenger association.

CHICAGO SYNDICATE
Organized to CoIOnfze a Big Ranch
In Mexico.

CHICAGO, Jan. ia Chicago syndi-
cate, with $1,O00O0O capital, has just
negotiated for the purchase of the
Lopez ranch, said to be the largest
ranch in North Mexico. August Jern-
berg, real estate man of this city,
left last night for Mexico to clinch the
deal by making 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
Chicago capitalists in a number of
years. The ranch embraces 1900 0G0
acres of rolling prairie land. Besides
its agricultural richness, it contains
valuable deposits of asphaltum. Thirty
thousand head of cattle are included
In the purchase. But the principal
scheme of the purchasers was reveal
ed by Mr.. Jernberg before he left for
Mexico. He said:
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
Tamau'ipas, Whare the ranch is located
In the syndicate there are few Wis
coEs1n capitalists, notably a banker of
Stoughton, who is president of the
Grand Falls Irrigation & Improvement
company, which has large holdings in
the Pecos valley, Ward county, Texas.
In that valley the colonization party
has been worked with marked success.
Fifty families from Wisconsin have
been located there and quite a flourish
ing town has grown up. One of the
largest creameries in the South is
about to be built there under the direc-
ton of former Gov. w. D. Hard. of
Wisconsin, who is famous as dairy
man. The same plan is to be tried in
the Lopez ranch

BOGUS BIG BILLS.
The Number So Far Received Not
Very Large.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--Consign-
ments of 500 silver certificates are be-
ing received daily at the treasury de-
partment, but so far the number of
new counterfeits is surprisingly small.
Up to this time only eighteen have
been reported from all sources. One Of
the new cOunterfeits received from
Cincinnati has new feature in the
numbering, which begins with 1923. All
the others begin with 346. The secret
service is making every effort to To-
cate the maker of the note, but so far
with little success. Mr.. Crane, of the
firm of Crane & Co. which makes the
distinctive paper upon which all gov
eminent notes are printed. was at the
department today and made a careful
examination of the new counterfeits
with a view. if possible, to Identifying
the make of the paper. He however,
declined to express an opinion on this
point.
A telegram received from Atlanta,
Ga, states that Frank Moore and Dan
iel Pierce were arrested yesterday at
Mobile, Ala, for passing counterfeit
$40 silver certificates, $2,0 900 of the spur
ious notes being found in their pos
session. Whether any connection be-
tween these men and the producer of
the 500 certificate is Inspected, is not
known.

RIVALRY OF TEACHERS.
Helen kellar's Withdrawal From
Gilman School the Result.

BOSTON. Jan. 15.-It is said by her
friends that the chief reason for Miss
Helen kellar'S withdrawal from the
Gilman school for girls in Cambridge,
where she was fitting for Radcliffe.
was rivalry for the nonor of instruct
ing her between Miss Sullivan, who
has had charge of her education for
the last eleven years, and Arthur Gill
man, master of the school,
When Miss Kellar entered the school
five years course 'was laid out for
her. She passed the preliminary ex-
aminations for Radcliffe college in
English, Latin, German, French and
history last June, and took honors in
English and German. When she re-
turned to the same school in October
programme was made out for two
years more. She was retarded at the
opening of school by delay in the ar
rival of special apparatus needed for
her work, but made up her deficiency.
She was i'll one day. and Miss Sullivan
thought it better for her to keep to
her room. This incident, it is asserted,
was made the excuse on the part of
Mr.. Gilman for restoring the five-year
course. Miss Keliar says Of the
change:
81 could scarcely endure my bitter
humiliation. 1t seemed to me as If I
had been cheated out of my proper
share in the school work 1 knew that
Miss Sullivan's judgment had been
flung aside as of no value, and knew,
too, that she had loved me and taken
the best care of me for nearly eleven
years and no harm had come to me
While / was with her"
Miss Sullivan asserts that afterward
she accidentally discovered a plan
wss under consideration to separate
her from Helen and to place Mr. Gill
man in complete control of Miss KEEL
lars education, by making him her
Suardicn. The evidence on this point
was placed before Miss kellar's mother

Helen Kellar is one Of the marvels
Of this century. She is the young
daughter Of well-to-do Southern par
ents. When an infant she suffered an
attack of fever which left her deaf and
blind, and hence without means of ac-
curing speech. When she was five
years old she was sent to an asylum
for deaf-mutes and was placed under
the charge of Miss Sullivan. That
lady, by a system of telegraphing with
her fingers on little Helen's palm
taught her the alphabet, how to read
raised letters, and by degrees how to
read music and to play on the piano.
Later Miss Sullivan developed Miss
kellar's powers of speech by infinitely
patient work carried on by making the
pupil feel the motions of the teachers
mouth and throat and then trying to
reproduce these motions. Helen can
now speak several languages we'll.
She has gone back to her parents III
Alabama with Miss Sullivan, who will
continue in charge of her education.

THAT RED N OSE AGAIN.
DOCTORS G.


The nose is the most prominent of
the human features. For beauty or
ugliness, much depends on the nose.
A red nose. a crooked nose, a swelIed
nose, dfsfigure the face as nothing else
can. People who can afford it, spend
thousands of dollars to have the slight
est irregularity of the nose corrected.
Doctors frequently discuss this impor-
tant subject in public and private.
Dr. Hartman has always contended
that the most frequent cause for de-
formed noses is chronic nasal catarrh
Catarrh irritates and congests the nose.
This leads to frequently blowing the
nose, which further irritates it, causing
ltchlng, which is party relieved by rub
ping or scratching. This is sure to
twist the nose slightly to one side or
the other OF enlarge it slightly; some
times producing a nose closely resem-
bling rum blossom" The only cure
for such nose is cure for chronic
nasaI catarrh. Many hundred cases
nave been cured by DR.. Hartman's free
treatment

.Tatfe, who have been on trial for jury
bribing. ]. w. Walker, indicted on

guilty. and c. S. Brat had confessed

BUT THE WOMAN DIED.
Chicago Surgeon Makes Success
Removing Woman's Stomach.

CHICAGO, Jan. Is. = The Chronicle
says: Under 'unfavorable conditions
the operation of removing the stomach
from woman, which was successfully
performed in Zurich last September
and startled the surgical world, was
repeated yesterday in Milwaukee DR..
E. J. Farnum, of Chicago, was assisted
by DR.. D. P. G. HankwitZ, of the Wis
consin city. and the operation was per
formed at the Milwaukee hospital Mrs
E. Bestian, of 772 Seventh street, was
the patient.
The stomach was removed and Mrs.
Bestian survived for considerable
time, but the weakness consequent on
long illness and a previous operation
i'll fitted her for the ordeal and she
gradually sank under the shock. She
died four hours after the removal of
the organ, but all the surgeons who
were cogniaZnt Of the case declared
she would have lived if her STRENGTH
had not been broken down by long sl,f
fering, and that the marvellous surgical
achievement Of DR.. Carl Schlatter
would have been better than duplicated
An additional drawback was that Mrs
Bestian's malady-cancer of the stona-
ach-had progressed further than had
been apparent.

around this city for the past two or

Dixey did 50, and being very much
pleased with the dog, took out a roll
of bills to pay for him, the price asked
being 5000. Being fond of practical
joking however, he rolled the bills up
and instead of handing them to the
men, rendered roll of paper with A
dollar bill for a wrapper instead They
took it eagerly and left the store in a
hurry. Thinking they would be back
in a few minutes, DiXey waited to give
them the money. While he was wait

dog by its chain and started out
DiXey demonstrated but the party
proved by the store owner that the dog

The magician waited some time but
the two did not return and ne thanked
his lucky stars that he had played the
trick on them.

CALCUTTA, Gan. 15.-Sir James
Westland. the france minister of the
council, at yesterday's meeting of that
body, made a speech in which he said
he was unable tdigive a final reply to
the question of the Introduction of the
gold standard. One thing was clear,
he continued a great advance had been
made in the direction contemplated by
the authors of the policy of 1893, name
ly the gold standard would become pos
sible. Many obscure points had been
determined by actual experience. The
disasters of 1897 had been followed by
bountifuI harvest, and the renewal of
the trade discussions of last autumn
had prepared the public and officials
in England for the possible necessity
of the gold standard, which might in
volve actual diversion for Indian pur-
poses of a certain amount of gold from
the general available stock.
The speaker said also that he was
fully alive to the grave commercial
bearings of the subject, adding if the
