RATES SLASHED AGAIN
ANOTHER CUT BY THE 500 AND THE
CANADIAN PACIFIC ROADS.
Favorable Earning Exhibit OF the
Brice Lines in 1S9z-AnnuaI Report
of Receiver of the p, ID. & r..

The 500 and the Canadian Pacific have
notified the Interstate-commerce Commits
sion that beginning Thursday they will
make further reduction in passenger rates
between st. Paul and the East and from St.
Paul to the Pacific coast. The Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern will meet
the rates between st. Paul and the Pacific
coast. These new rates to the coast will
then be $40 first class and so second class,
from st. Paul to Puget sound. The cut to
the East is 81 below the former reduced
price, and Thursday this will mean SIG first
class and SIS second class, from st. Paul
to New York. Late yesterday afternoon the
Milwaukee road announced that it would
meet this later cut. and it is probable the
other st. Paul-Chicago lines Will also fol-
low suit The Soo-Paciflc will make a rate
to Great Falls, Mont, of $50 for first class
and $40 second class, by way of the Great
Falls and Canada line. The Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern will meet the
rates of the Soo-Pacifc on the rebate"
plan. Tickets will be sold at the present
rates, with rebates to correspond to the
soo-Paciic cut at points of direct COMPETE
ton.
A new phase in the warfare between the
Western lines, in fares to North Pacific
points, appeared yesterday which would
indicate that one or more of the trunk
lines are participating in the same. Accord
ing to high authority the Grand Trunk
has placed its tickets on sale in the emil
grant station at Ellis island, New York,
and the understanding is that they are to
be favored by the Western lines as against
the Canadian Pacific. The Grand Trunk not
being an initial line, under the various
agreements, has no right to sell its immi-
grant tickets on Ellis island that privi-
lege being reserved for the Lehigh Valley,
its Eastern connection. A few days ago the
Western Passenger Association requested
the trunk lines to allow the Grand Trunk
to sell it's tickets in the immigrant
station. The request implied a boycott of
the Canadian Pacific and it was denied.
Now that the Grand Trunk has taken the
Initiative the question of it's authority and
supporters has been advanced. There were
evidences yesterday that a strenuous eff
fort is being made by the Western lines
TO force the joint traffic lines into the war
fare. 1t was said that at the meeting in
New York to-day of the Joint Passenger
committee resolution would be proposed
looking to a boycott of the Canadian Pa
cine. The more influential of the Eastern
lines are opposed to the present troubles
especially in view of the fact that they do
not concern them.

HercuIean Club RESOLUTIONS.

There was large attendance at the meet
ing of the Herculean Club last night
Speeches denouncing the Lake City outrage
were made, and the following resolutions
reported by the committee on resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Postmaster Baker, of Lake
City, s. C., was recently brutality murdered
by a mob for no other reason than that
he was colored man whose appointment
was distasteful to the white people of that
vicinity therefore be it
Resolved, That we condemn the crime in
the strongest terms, and feel that il is a
disgrace to the State of South Carolina and
that we heartily indorse the action of the
federal authorities in the steps they have

The officials in Chicago of the roads doing
business in the State of Nebraska were de-
lighted over the decision in the maximum
freight rate case. They had for the most
part been confident that the court would
find in the favor of the railroads and for
the last six months have been expressing
that opinion. At the same time the actual
rendering of the decision was a great re-
lief to them as in case the law had been
held TO be valid the roads were looking for
similar legislation in other States If the
senger men were looking for action cover
ing the passenger fares. and all the roads
ing Compelled to make possible Reductions
in their rates, when none of them are max
ing any too much money, is out of the way
finally.

There is said to be some ground for the
report that the Illinois Central is negotiat-
ing to secure control of the Peoria, Decatur
& Evansville, which has been in the hands
of Receiver Hopkins since Jan. 10, 1894, and
the question arises, can the Illinois Central
make it a paying acquisition? In this con-
nection the statement CT Receiver Hopkins,
just made public, for the year 1897 becomes
q matter of interest. This shows that the
main line division income account for 1897
was:
Peoria Evans

DeilclC ......... S6I, 400 Sj4 ,lS0
The above given figures include S15 900
Peoria & Pekin Union dividend for 1897. 1t
is shown by these figures that the Peoria
division earned nearly IS per cent. of the
total net earnings while more than nine
elevenths of the surplus from operations
comes from that division. The Peoria di-
vision is shown to be able to earn more
than per cent. on the bonds secured on
that division, which surplus the second
mortgage bondholders' committee maintain
should apply on the second mortgage bonds.
The Evansville division earned less than 2
per cent. on the bonds covering that di-
vision. The trustee of the second mortgage,
it is said, will seek to have an accounting
of earnings by divisions since the receiver
ship began, on the expectation that it will
be shown that interest on the first mort
gage covering the Evansville division has
been paid largely out of earnings of the
Peoria division since 1894.

Hair Mattresses.

The first quality of hair is horse
hair and comes chiefly from South
America from wild horses. They use
only the tails and name, and the own
ers of the horses wind them up in
coils every two years. Oftentimes a
horse will have escaped the reund-ups
for four or i've seasons and will come
in with tail ten feet long. The hair
of South American wild animals is
longer than the hair of animals OF
almost any other section. This hair
is worth from 38 to 48 cents a pound
in the rope, according to length. 1t is
twisted into ropes, which gives it the
curl, and in that way shipped to the
mattress makers. Hair over sixteen
inches long is used for making hair
cloth. such as was put In furniture in
our grandfathers' days; that is worth
from 81 to Sc pound.
Second quality of hair is a mixture
of cattle heads and the short hair OF
the horse. The cheapest is goat hair
from Siberia, worth from to cents
a pound.

A PAIR OF "HlGHWATERS."
A Good Story of the Shortening OF Johns
Trousers in Three Jobs.

A Good Story of the Shortening of Johns
Trousers in Three Jobs.
Recently a divine from Chicago lect-
ured before the Congregational club Of
Indiana. He had about him a breezy
delivery, reminiscent Of the Windy
City. What the subject of his lecture
was is not to the point, but it was long
the fact, he said, that an audience
might have too much of good thing,
like the man who bought pair OF
ready-made trousers that were six in
ches too long. He did not discover
this until he had taken them home and
tried them on. Then he asked his wife
to cut off six inches from the legs. The
wife was about to go to prayer meeting.
I'm no tailor" said she, with toss
of her head, as she crossed the TIRES
hold. II know nothing about shorten
ing trousers" The mans sister and
mother overheard the conversation, and
in their hearts pitied him.
Johns wife don't treat him right"
said the mother while his sister was in
the parlor entertaining caller. I'll
just fix up those trousers" She cut
off six inches and then folded them up
just as they came from the store, in
tending that he should have pleasant
surprise the next morning.
After the sisters caller was gone she
got to thinking of Johns ungrateful
wife. Poor fellow. said she, II must
fix those trousers for him" She like
wise cut off six inches, and then rolled
them up again as neatly as when they
came out of the store.
Now, it happened that Mrs. John was
touchoed at the prayer meeting, and on
| her way home got to thinking what a
good husband Mr.. John was, how
| thoughtful and considerable he had al
ways been. and how he had often sac
rif1ced his own pleasure and comfort
for hers, and her heart was smitten
with remorse.
Il will not sleep this night" said
she, until 1 have fixed the dear fell
| lows trousers
| Once again the shears were applied,
and six inches more were cut away
| from the bottom of the legs.
Johns dismay was great in the morn
ing when he put the trousers en-
| again, expecting to roll them up Lon
don fashion at the bottom.

AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull.
monary complaints, and to make itsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence OF
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consum ption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.

BEE MOUNTAIN.
Crevasse Filled with Honey and Oocu-
pied by Snakes.


pied by Snakes.
About twenty miles from Cleburne,
on the Brazos river, in Texas, is Bee
mountain. On one side it rises several
hundred feet above the country around
and the other fronts the river and rises
perpendicularly for over 800 feet On
the perpendicular side are several
o'evasses or caves, in which places
are millions of bees and tons upon
tons of honey. 1t is impossible to
scale the dizzy heights from below,
although the rocks are worn out places
that look like steps had been made to
climb this mountain ages and ages ago,
and it is believed by some that abo-
rhymes scaled this cliff to procure
honey for their primitive meals.
Within the memory of man, howev-
er, parties have been daring enough to
have themselves suspended with a ror e
and let down to where the bees enter
the rocky bluff, and the tales they
told of the vast amount of honey would
sound like a tale from the Arabian
Nights"
One man, cowboy who worked on
the old Abe Wilson ranch, which was
quite famous here in an early day, had
the temerity to have some of his CO.
laborers let him down with a rope.
Where the bees entered, he said, the
crevasses were not large enough for a
man to enter but little south of that
point was hole about four feet high
and eight or ten feet wide, which he
/ entered. What he saw simply struck
him dumb with amazement. There,
hanging from the top of the cave,
which seemed to extend for a quarter
of mile back, great combs of honey
twenty or thirty feet long and from
four to six feet wide. They looked
like a great lot of fine silk lace cur
tains hanging in some grand old hall
way. The humming of the bees sound
ed like the noise of many spindles in
great factory. He had a hunting
knife with him and sliced of piece of
the honey and ate it, and was just
about to slice off more to bring to his
companions on the mountain above,
and who were waiting to pull him up
when his attention was drawn to an
other direction. On listening closely
he detected kissing sound and ore
unlike that made by the bees. Pres
emily, from the direction from which
the sound proceeded, he saw at least
100 serpents coming toward him, their
little, beadlike eyes shining in the
glare Of the torch he carried. To use a
street phrase, he tore out" leaving
his hunting knife and his Klondike OF
honey behind. When his friends had
pulled hir Up ne had tainted from the
fright. When he recovered he tolf
them what he had seen. At first the,
laughed at him, but finally it became
an accepted fact that in Bee noun
tain there are tons of honey, but nc
one since that time has ever beer
reckless enough to venture in that
cave, where not only millions of bees
and tons of honey are to be found
but where den of serpents
greets the intruder. Alderman Tom
Childress has summer home which
adjoins this mountain, and is going to
tunnel into the side of it and try to
arrange to exterminate the serpents
and have this wonder to exhibit to his
friends.
