Illinois Central Contracts for Terminal Com

IS OF TEMPORARY CHARACTER
Relations with Terminal Company
ApBiy Alone TO Freight business
Passenger Trains VIII Use
Union Pacific station.

john r. Webster. general manager Of the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal company au-
thorizes the statement that contract haF
Z been entered into between his company and
the Illinois Central railway whereby the lat
ter will use the Terminal companys bridge
and its freight depots in Omaha aud COun-
Gil Bluffs This announcement comes as
result Of the conference held between Mr.
Webster and Second Vice President Harah8n
Of the Illinois Central who was IN the city
last week. at that time Mr.. Harahan care
fully inspected the facilities Of the Terminal
company for the handling Of the freight bue-
ness OF the Illinois Central, and the i'm
preston was so satisfactory that the ron-
tract was Immediately agreed upon.
The contract with the Illinois Central"
Mr.. Webster states, lis in a sense merely
temporary one. No time limit is specified
beyond the privilege On the part Of he-lili-
nois Central TO terminate its contract by Civ
ing thirty days notice Of such intention.
In a measure this contract was due TO our
fortunate situation. We have our bridge
and empty freight depots in both Council
Bluffs aud Omaha conveniently located, and
the Illinois Central at present has no facili-
ties for caring for it's freight patronage.
Our Omaha freight depot is at Eleventh and
Chicago and our Council Bluffs depot is To-
"The contract with the Illinois Central
applies only TO freight business. under
stand that the Illinois Central will begin
using the bridge and depots on Monday, the
18th inst"
The fact that the Illinois Central has en-
tered into contract with the terminal
company for the use Of its bridge and
freight houses for freight purposes only in
dicates that it's passenger trains will enter
Omaha from Council Bluffs over the Union
Pacific bridge and that the union station
will be used by 1t for passenger purposes. |
The temporary character OF the contract be-
tween the Illinois Central and the terminal |
IS a matter Of interest to railroad I
men, and Is construed to mean that the |
freight depots Of the terminal company will !
only be used until similar structures may be |
built in both cities by the new road 1t |
owns valuable property in Omaha on Seven |
teenth street and the intersection OF the !
Union Pacific tracks and the belief is general |
that a commodious freight depot will be /
erected there in due course Of time.

NINE OUT OF EVERY TEN.
SUFFER FROM CATARRH IN SOME
FORM.

Nine out OF every ten in this climate suffer
from catarTh in some form. Although so
common a disease there is no complaint so
generally misunderstood and i'll treated.
People suffering from catarrh either by in
stinct or habit first employ the nasal douche
or some equally dangerous local application
for its treatment.
By the very nature of its symptoms ca =
tarrh denotes bodily disturbance and the
need Of a constitutional remedy. An inter-
nal remedy should be used to act upon the
entire nervous system and thus reduce the
inflammation extending along the weakened
membranes. There Is no remedy that will
do this so effectively as Gauss Catarrh
Tablets
They are taken internally and are scien-
tihcally prepared to act upon the infamed
membranes through the blood; it is safe to
say that they will cure any case of catarrh
no matter whore located or of how long
standing. They are pleasant to take and at
any time or place; no spoon, bottle or
douche to carry about.
Gauss Catarrh Tablets are sold by all
druggists or by mail SOC. Our little book
on catarrh sent free to any address.

prominent officers, particularly those
who made themselves famous during

natures which have been taken are those
of Generals Shafter, Wood, Fitzhugh

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Allen of Yale Effectually SmOthers Mil-
Iett-Hard Fight fer Larned.

New York, July 5.-The Middle States
lawn tennis championship tournament
was continued at Orange, N, j., to-day.
In the three days play many of the
contestants have dropped by the way
side, but it remained for to-day to finish
the truly sensational results. The first
surprise occurred when Allen, the Yale
champion, effectually smothered S. c.
Millett Dwight Davis, the Harvard
crack, proved hard proposition for the
veteran, W. A. Larned, with the result
that their match remains unfinished.
Davis led Larned with ri in the first
set. but the veteran pulled up and made
a long deuce and vantage set of 1t, which
Davis won. In the second set Davis
again had the advantage, but Larned
won. The Lenox club crack, j. +.
Paret, won his match against G.. ii.
Miles, who was the favorite against the
Lenox player. The results of to-day's
matches placed Allen, Paret Stevens
and the winner of the Larned-Davis
match in the semi finals. By mutual
agreement the meeting of Larned-Davis
will be counted as one of the inter-clty
games between New York and Boston.

Only One Western Man Now Remains
to Battle for Championship.

Lake Forest, ILL.,, July 5.-Only one
western man now remains to battle for
the amateur golf championship in the
tournament at Onwentsia. To-day 8
games saw the downfall of four out of
five westerners who We're successful in
yesterdays match games Walter Fair
banks of the Overland Park club of
Denver was vanquished by II. F. Toler
Of the Baltusrol Golf club; D. r. For
gan went down before Champion Find
lay S. Douglass William Holabird jr,,
the sixteen-year-old player of the Glen
view Golf club of Chicago, was beaten
by c. b. Mcdonald of the Chicago Golf
club while Walter b. Smith of the on
wentsia club, runner up in the last
years tournament at the Morris Coun-
ty course. was defeated after a hard
struggle by j G. Thorpe of the Oakley
Country club of Cambridge, Mass.
The playing of Mr. Douglass was pre-
eminently the feature of the day He
defeated his opponent, d. r. Forgan,
the Onwentsia captain, with ridiculous
ease, and in doing so he established Il
new competition record for the long
Onwentsia course going out in 40 and
returning in 40, a total of so for. the is
holes. The performance was by far the
best of the season, but the form dis
played by the champion was so superior
to that shown by the other contestants
that his final victory is regarded by
many as foregone conclusion.
The biggest surprise Of the day was
the defeat of Walter B. Smith, last
years runner up, by j. G. Thorpe. Mr.
Thorpe, who was runner up against
Whigham at Shinnecock Hills in 1896,
has displayed particularly good form
during this tournament, but Smith had
been doing such good work that he was
picked to win over Thorpe by Il major
ity of the golfers present. Smith start
ed out well, winning the first hole in
five and the third in five. Here, how
ever, he fell down badly losing the
fourth and fifth holes by poor puts,
and at the ninth Thorpe Won Thorpe
won the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth
and Smith the seventeenth, leaving the
score for the mornings play three up
for Thorpe. Mr. Smith played better in
the afternoon, but could not overcome
the advantage gained by Thorpe in the
and play was finished at the
hole, two up for Thorpe.
