Conference Called.

New York, Feb. 9.-Commissioner
Farmer, of the Trunk Line passenger
committee, has appointed General Pas
senger Agents Roberts, of the Erie. and
Daniels, New York Central, and Pas
sengzr and Traffic Manager Mccormick,
Big Four, a committee to go to Mon
II cal and confer with the Canadian Pa
cific officials regarding the present de-
moralization Of rates to Klondike and
Alaska points.
The appointment of the committee is
the result of the conference of the joint
traffic lines in Washington Tuesday.
The Canadian Pacific has made a
sweeping cut in fares to the points in
question, and the special committee will
erdeavor to prevail on the committee
to restore fares at an early date.
The Canadian company claims that
the western lines have been secrtly
cutting rates, and to meet their alleged
underhand ways, it has issued an open
circular. Passenger Agent McNicoll of
the Canadian Pacific has signified his
willingness TO meet the committee,
which is quite a different attitude
adopted by him toward the western
lines when they asked for a conference
ten days ago.

agree to do so is doubtful. (This state
ment was confirmed yesterday by local
traffic men as concerns the lines here.
They want a finger in the pie. for rea-
sons above stated.-Ed. Herald) Even
should they be so minded, the problem
viii not be entirely solved, because
the reductions through st. Paul will af-
feet Montana rates, and they in turn,
Will haYe a bearing on Ogden and other
Utah rates. 1t is more probable that
an all-around rate war will have to be
fought out before the situation can be
cleared up and restored to normal con-
ditions.
From the tenor of the dispatches and
the expressions of local traffic men, it
does not appear very likely that the
roads here will be out of the fight for
a minute. Just as soon as action is
taken by eastern connections, there will
be lively old time. 1t is said that
Mr.. Shaughnessy, the passenger agent
Of the Canadian Pacific, told the Amer
lean lines there was going to be a fight
and a long one, and this looks very
much like it.

Fluctuations In May and July Flu
tures-Leiter Influence.

Chicago, Feb 19.-The most important
information wheat traders had to start
with was the statement made that Letter
had engaged ocean freight room Tor
600 bushels of his wheat, all of which
had been sold to millers and consumers
Liverpool cables also showed some
strength. The result was a very strong
opening May starting unchanged to nc
higher at from 1.031a to l.O4, advancing at
once to Los. There was a remarkable
scarcity of offerings and it took but very
little buying to advance the price July
was fully as active and strong as May,
opening %G5s higher at SSs4uS9. and rising
to 90 before enough wheat came out 10

in May was followed by PC reaction, but
reports that 100000 bushels of Letter
wheat ct Duluth was to be shipped all
rail to the seaboard stiffened the backbone
of the market and prices soon got back to
the previous high point and then passed
il. For half an hour the market held
around los for May and 90 cents for July.
July then suddenly broke loose. Traders
in trying TO protect themselves against
weekly calls discovered that the market
was practically bare of offerings, and in
their anxiety to get wheat began raising
their prices half a cent at a time. That
brought short interests to the pit IN hur-
~. About the same time brokers for
Letter appeared with q number of buying
orders and especially for July The mar
ket advanced so fast that changes in
price could hardly be kept track of. All
shorts tried TO stop losses and for nearly
a half hour the market was in state OF
excitement seldom seem
In the meantime May had advanced to

over yesterdays close. At those figures
the market was flooded with wheat on
realizing sales and sharp declines fol-
lowed. May dropping irregularly TO LOO.
and July to 91$4 cents. after which the
excitement died down to great extent.
Nevertheless the market was extremely
nervous to the close and fluctuations in
both futures were rapid and at times
violent The ordinary news of the day
was entirely neglected. Closing prices
were 05 for May and 92k for July.
Corn was excited and higher. due prin-
cipally to the bulge in wheat May closed

Oats was fairly active. The strength of
wheat and corn was the influence. May

The leading futures ranged as follows:

But few people outside of the railroad

matter were prsnt at tn sale today.
The party arrived at the Union Pacific
depot few minutes before IL o'clock,
and just at the hour Judge Cornish
started to read the decree of fore
closure under the consolidated mort
gage. When he finished, Mr.. Krech
offered the sum of IS, 600 900 for the re
organization committee, and the mat
ter was ended. This completes the sale

firearms Are Not TOYS.

Two more deaths have lately resulted
from didn't know it was loaded" acct
dents-a mother killing her babe, and a
boy almost having his head blown off.
Firearms are not toys. 1t is also I'M
safe to trifie with what are termed
minor ailments. Insignificant though
they seem at first, they are likely TO
develop into maladies of dangerous
and complex magnitude. The best way
is to arrest them at the start with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which checks
constipation, liver complaint and rheu-
matism, malaria, kidney trouble and
nervousness. A decline in health is
something we cannot afford to disre-
gard. Independently of its sterling eff
ficacy as a specific for chronic maladies,
the Bitters is a superb tonic and pro-
mOter OF appetite and sleep.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe, Efec-
tual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
boating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery-
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inhamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in u treatment
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before it has a time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy di-
gestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
est and best treatment is to Use after
each meal tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Col
den Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being
a patent medicine, can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N ]. Booher of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, Ills, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infaned and the poisonous discharge
therefrom, passing backward into the
throat. reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today 1 am the hap
piest of men, after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. | can
not find appropriate words to express
my good feeling.
II have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion. catarrh of
stomach, biliouSness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

Before the rate war which is now
prevailing in the east was begun, it
will be remembered that the matter of
cut rates from Chicago to Denver and

was understood that the matter was
not to be continued farther, but per-
mitted to die natural death by mani

1t is understood that the Rock Island
