MILWAUKEE WINS AT LAST
Will Buy Its Street Railways With
the CompanY's Money.

Milwaukee, Nov. 19.-Milwaukee has
practically won its battle against the
street railway company,and while there
will be no four cent fare here the street
railway has agreed to pay to the city at
least 81. 600, 900 over and above its taxes
during the life of its present franchises.
This agreement is the result Of negoti-
atiOns between the city, represented by
Mayor Rose, and the street railway
company, represented by a committee
from the board of directors, Henry Vii
lard, William Nelson Cromwell, and Q.
H. Whitmore are on the committee
The company wanted to extend its
lighting contract for rs years, but the
mayor would not consent to this and
finally the company, upon guarantee
that competition in the street railway
business would be shut out, agreed to
pay in addition to its taxes an annual
sum which will amount to 81, 600, 900 in
ten years. The franchises under which
the company operates expire IN 1924.
They provide that at that time the city
agreement will give the city the nu-
cleus of a fund which may be used for
that purpose.
The city has been at war with the
street railway company for several
years to secure four cent fare or its
equivalent. A case was brought in the
courts and decided against the city.
Still harassing measures continually
cropped out in the common council until
the company got tired Of it and sought
to end the struggle by peaceable nego-
tiations. The committee and the mayor
have been in session since Monday and,
While all Of the details are not arranged,
still it has been practically agreed that
the company shall pay a large sum.

soon after he finds out what 1t is. There
was no effort to sidetrack free silver in
the recent election, and therefore the
county ticket will be knitted.
Il have made no deal with Mr.. Gro
ker. I may be in the air politically in
side Of four months and Mr.. Croker is
too shrewd a politician to make and
deal with me. I defy Mr.. Altgeld to
prove that I winked at the nomination
of any Doodle aldermen. I openly
fought every one he mentioned. The
only knitting Of the ticket was done by
men whom I have prevented from
'boodling' in the council and through
contracts.
There is one thing want to call the
attention of the public to. A lot of men
are going around telling certain alder
men one at a time that only one vote
is needed in the council to pass Objec-
tienable street railway extension Ordi-
nances. and If this alderman and that
one will only vote for 50-year franchises
and be a good fellow it will be all
right. If they are not six votes short
I will miss my guess. I will make the
prediction that those ordinances will
not come to this council unless they are
for 20 years with fair compensation

It's TOrtures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuna-
tism become a constant COM
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments In the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-One which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift
Specific Is. s. 81 is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. s. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. 1t
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.

REPLIES TO ALTGELD.
Mayor Harrison Says the Ez-Gover-
nor Has Allied Himself With
Boodlers

Chicago, Nov. 19.-The war Of words
between Mayor Harrison and John P.
Altgeld was resumed yesterday. The
mayor, after taking advice from his pO-
litical friends, made a warm reply to
the former governors statement that
mo GENERALIZATION combination could
side-track the silver ISSUE" that the
city administration was responsible for
the nomination Of unfit men on the
county ticket and that the mayor had
allowed cOrruptible aldermen to be nom
mated. The mayor said:
IF Mr.. Altgeld was an the Democrat
&c national convention fight against Mr.
Bryan's nomination he knows that his
allies at that time were the men who
are fighting me today. If you follow
up the men who are against me today
you will find that they are Doodle
Democrats, the men who fought the
adoption of free silver in the Democrat
&c platform and the nomination of Mr..
Bryan. I claim that I am as good a
silver man as any one.
Mr.. Altgeld will find that he has al
fled himself with a gang of Doodle con-
tractors and aldermen who have not
been allowed to enrich themselves IN
der this administration. I am sure that
he Will rid himself of such bad company

AN IMMENSE SKELETON.
Largest Ever Unearthed to BE Set Up
at Laramie.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov 19.-It has been
dong known that Wyoming was the
graveyard Of the largest animals which
have at any time inhabited the earth.
Prof. W. H. Reid of the department Of
geology of the state university, whilst
exploiting the fossil fields of Albany
county, about 80 miles northwest of
Laramie, during last August, discover
ed the fossil skeleton of the largest an
lmal yet found in the world. The mon
ster was a dWeller in the jurassic age,
known to science as a dinOsaur, measur-
ang nearly 100 feet in length, estimated
to have been 80 feet in height at the
hips and % at the shoulders, it's petri-
fed skeleton weighing more than 40, 900
pounds. The only known fossil which
approximates this dinosaur in size is
the celebrated brontosaur in the Yale
college museum discovered some years
ago in Wyoming by Prof. o. G. Marsh.
This monster unearthed of Prof. Marsh
as said to have been 40 feet in length,
the new discovery by Prof Reid eclips-
ang 1t by so feet in length. This recent
discovery is said to put the reptilian fOs-
sill collection of the Wyoming university
ahead Of any in the world. When this
dinOsaur is completely restored and
mounted it will adorn the university
campus, and become one of the wonders
of the world.

ARMOUR GOING YUCATAN
With a Party of Scientists on His
Yacht,

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Within two weeks
Allison V. Armour's yacht Utowana
will leave New York harbor for the
coast of Yucatan, bearing its owner a
number of his New York friends and
the Chicago botanist, DR.. Charles F.
MillSpaugh, curator of the botanical de-
partment of the Field Columbian mus
cum and Botanical lecturer at the Uni
versity of Chicago. The expedition will
be absent until March.
Three years ago Mr.. Armour acted as
the host of a similar party, including
DR.. M1llSpaugh also as a guest on a. trip
to the same country. The result of three
months spent along the coast and up
the rivers was a rich botanical cOllec-
ton for the museum, giving DR.. Mills
paugh material for a series of publica-
lions on the fora of the coast and plain
regions.
It is the intention this time for the
party to leave the yacht and proceed
into the mountain district of the inter-
DOR, a region where the flora has been
little classified. DR.. AIillspaugh is con-
S1dered the authority on Yucatan flora
and it is hoped that he will be able to
add discoveries in plant life by another
sojoUrn in the country. 1t will be his
fourth trip.
Interest also centers in the journey
now soon to be made of Prof. Frederick
Starr, of the University of Chicago, in
the wilds of Mexico. With a wealthy
London physician and two native guides
he will visit several islands in the Gulf
of Tehuantepec, inhabited by tribes of
savage Indians. Their most hazardous
venture will be an attempt to visit an
island where are located the sacred
caves worshipped by the natives.
In addition to the usual explorers
supplies Prof. Starr will take 1000
pounds of plaster with which to make
casts of the natives and a complete
Photographic outfit.
The party goes by rail to Oaxaca and
from there make a journey of 1000
miles on horseback. Prof. Starr looks
for trouble with two of the tribes
through whose lands he will pass but
hopes by diplomacy to win his way to
the land he seeks. If he fails, however,
he will ask the Mexican government for
a guard of soldiers. He expects to leave
late this month and to be gone until
next spring. Several citizens are inter-
ested In this project.
