A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing woras and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes md inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases oil the while, causing q
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, rs such treatment
never did euro Catarrh, and never
will.

that my own house suffers in comparison,
will I relieve my dilemma by tearing away
the beautiful edif1ce of my ne,ghbor and
leaving his loved ones sheiterless against
the storms of time? No, hundred times
no!
II will rather direct my thoughts to one
ambition and fashion my affairs to but
one purpose; and when that ambition is
realized and that purpose contaminated l
will have erected, slowly, but surely, along
beside my neighbours house. a magnificent
structure that will rival If not eclipse his
own in the artistic conception of its design
and in the SURPRISING harmony of its archi-
tectural grandeur. And when that same
high spirit becomes the controlling, actu-
ating spirit in the legislation of Alabama,
we will lift her from the slough of illiteracy
and ignorance, place her on the high table
land of educational eminence, and crown
the lofty brow of our beloved state with
the lustrous halo of that true knowledge
which is the synonym of power, and the
proud, inseparabe accompaniment of the
highest manhood and the most exalted
civilization"

RUM0RED DEALS
OF THE SOUTHERN
Reported to Have Absorbed the
Mobile & Ohio.
IT WAS QUICKLY DENIED
There Are Many Persons, However,,
Who Believe That This Year Will
Witness the Consolidation of
the. Two Systems.
IT WAS QUICKLY DENIED

New York, January 31.-(Specfal. DE
malls have been frequent in the past two
weeks of any change in the relations of the
Southern railway with the Mobile and Ohio.
Tho latter property, like the Chicago and
Alton, has been reported sold on an aver
age of once day.
President Spencer, of the Southern, has
said that his road has not bought the Mo-
bile and Ohio, while President Russell has
denied the report that the Mobile and Ohio
has been absorbed by the Southern.
There are very many persons, however,
who think that this year will witness the
consolidation of the two systems. They
are among those who have been buying
Mobile and Ohio stock lately, and who
forced 1t up four points during the first
hour of trading today The Mobile and
Ohio has operated quite independently of
any of the late Southern roads. for the
reason that great part of the territory
that it covers is not invaded by any other
system.
The Illinois Central Is considerably to the
west of 1t, and the Louisville and Nashville
in Tennessee and Alabama does not serve
the same sections that it does. Physically
therefore, it relates to the Southern rail-
way and the lines that are allied with that
system more than to any other. With
the Mobile and Ohio and the Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas, the Queen and
Crescent, which the Southern controls, the
road would both strengthen it's present po-
sition and gain valuable western connec-
lions with roads that operate with st. Louis
as basis.
The fact that the Chicago and North
west has opened freight and passenger Of
fees in Atlanta and is making a strong bid
for southern traffic, is pointed to as evil
dence of the Southern's need of connec-
lions such as could be had through the
Mobile and Ohio. Terminals such as Pres
ident Russelps road possesse at Mobile
would be highly advantageous to the South
ern for export trade, while on the other
hand. the Mobile and Ohio would be helped
by trackage over the line of the Central
of Georgia from Montgomery, Ala, to Sa-
vannah, Ga.
The financial position of the Mobile and
Ohio has greatly improved the last year.
The company has been paying dividends
regularly on about $23,OoO.OO0 of bonds. The
per cents, which, in December were quot
ed around par, are now quoted at 108, or two
points higher than Southern railway fives.
1t is not significant but interesting to note
that the two bonds began to advance at the
same time and have maintained the adj
vance. There Is $40, 600, 900 of common stock
which paid ! per cent In February, 1893.
This stock has gone from "a to above 40.
The total gross earnings last year were ST..
2O7, 319, against SO, S67. 1858 in 1897 and sur
plus of s225, 1866 after fixed charges. The main
line extends from Mobile to St. Louis. The
total length of lines operated is s76 miles.

BAs1NG RATE ACCEPTED.
BY Both Northern and Canadian Pa
cific Lines.

The Northern Pacific and Canadian Pa
cific railways have given notice Of the
acceptance of a Sc bastng rate, ST. Paul
and Minneapolis to Chicago, and that this
rate will be used in all North Pacific
coast territory, effective Tuesday. The
announcement of a new basing rate is
made to protect the Chicago-St. Paul
lines and to meet the competition brought
about on the coast through scalpers and
excursion agents, incident to an Increased
volume of Klondike business.
Unsettled conditions have existed be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul for several
months Early in July one of the strong
Chicago lines gave the scalpers of the
north coast a furnishing rate Of Sc, with
the result that the regular offices of the
North Pacific coast initial lines were de-
prived of the privilege of ticketing the
business. Certain of the Chicago-St. Paul
lines at that time rendered special basing
rates, but at a meeting in Portland, held
about the middle of July, it was thought
that an appeal to the Western Passen-
ger association that its members and
their competitors withdraw these special
rates from the scalpers in Seattle and
elsewhere on the coast might be success
full. The situation was materially i'm
proved for a time, but not permanently.
Klondike business has recently inc

Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific
had no agreements with these agents and
scalpers, and have decided to give notice
that in order to place their own offices
somewhere near on a parity with the
scalpers as to the rates used. and at the
same time protect the interests of the
Chicago-St Paul lines, who look to them
for shelter, they will now accept and
make immediate use of a Sc st. Paul
Chicago basing rate rendered.
This will have the effect of reducing the
second-class rate from Portland, Seattle,
Tacoma, Victoria, Vancouver and other
points to Chicago to the extent of $3.50,
and to territory east of Chicago in pro-
portionate figure. 1t is understood that

Club Pays Part of Expense.
One Of the Spanish cannons captured
by the American troops at Santiago ar
rived in st. Paul yesterday over the Great
Northern road and at present occupies
position on the broad walk leading to the
court house and city hall, on Wabasha
street The gun arrived yesterday after
noon, and as soon as Secretary Slime, OIL
the Commercial club, was notified by the
railroad company eXpressmen were ell
gagged and at o'clock the cannon was
landed in front of the court house. From
the time it reached the spot where 1t now
lies until late last night the weapon OF
warfare was surrounded by groups OF
people who closely inspected and asked
all kinds of questions as to It's history
Secretary Slime has written to the war
department for a brief history Of the
cannon and expects to have the detailed
information in a day or so. All that Is
known as to it's history now is that 1t
was captured at Santiago by the Ameri-
can troops and was received in the United
States by the war department Nov. ID
1898.
The gun Is described by the war depart
ment as a AS inch Misunderstanding bronze
rifle 1t is ninety inches long and weighs
g 101 pounds. The gun will be turned over
to the park board for safe keeping, and
President Wheelock stated yesterday ait
ernoon that the board would have 1t
mounted a gun carriage as soon as
possible, in order that it might have a
more warlike appearance. Just where 1t
will be placed has not been decided upon
but for the present it will remain in front
of the city hall.
AS far back as July 2 Congressman
Stevens, at the request of the Commercial
club, interviewed Secretary of War Alger
about securing one of the captured Span
ish guns for st. Paul. All of the ones
sent from Santiago to the war depart
ment had been either distributed or prom
ised at the time, but the Commercial club
was informed that as the governor of
the state had not asked for one 1t might
be possible to get the one apportioned to
this state Later telegram was re-
ceived stating that if the mayor of St
Paul would request the gun forwarded
the request would be honored. J..
There was more correspondence, IN
which Gen. Burlington, chief of ordnance
at Washington, Informed the club that
the gun would simply be loaned to the
state, and was to be returned when de-
manded by the war department. Fur
Their, the club was informed that the
gun was at the arsenal at Watervliet, N.
Y. and would be shipped, providing that
the expense was paid by the city.
Arrangements were made with Presf-
dent Hill, of the Great Northern road,
who agreed to bring the gun from Buffa-
10, via the Great Lakes, free of expense,
providing it was delivered at that point.
The other expenses of the shipment were
borne by the club.
