A GULF LINE BOYCOTT.
The officers Of tho Gu1f e. Mon


The officers of the Gulf & Manito-
ba Railway company, which now
proposes to connect Redwood Falls
with some point on the Milwaukee
road before Dec. 31st, 1900, and
with some point on the Great North
ern on the north and with the Pitts
burg, Gulf & Kansas City on the
south: claim that their company is
but the Minnesota branch of the
latter company. In view of these
statements, the contract and agree
ments willing to be entered into, it
is proper that the people before
whom the propositions will be laid,
should have some idea of what a
north and south railroad will do for
the community, and why the east
and west railroads are and always
will oppose the construction of such
a line. The following special from
Kansas City is taken from the
Pioneer Press of last Thursday: .
The boycott of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
Gulf by the other companies competing
with the Gulf system in the southwestern
territory took definite shape to-day when
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe companies served
notice upon the Pittsburg & Gulf that all
their joint tariffs with the latter road had
been cancelled and that they would cease
exchanging business with the Pittsburg
and Gulf lines.
me management of the boycotted road
proposes to fight the boycottees in the fed
eral court.CGeneral Traffic Manager Hanley
of the Pittsburg & Gulf stated tonight that
the receivers of his road would seek relief in
the federal court probably through niunc-
ton proceedings Mr.. Hanley recalled the
fact that when the Western roads were boy-
cotting the Chicago Great Western about
year ago the boycotting lines announced the
cancelling of the the tariffs one at a time.
several days elapsing between the several
announcements. He predicted that the
same course would be pursued against the
Pittsburg & Gulf in order to avoid the an
pearance of concerted action on the part of
the boycotting companies.
1t is announced tonight that the officials
of the Chicago Great Western have assured
the Pittsburg & Gulf that the Chicago Great
Western will not become party to the boy
colt, and the boycotted road is thus assured
of Chicago, Minneapolis and ST. Paul con-
nections. It is said that other roads have
given intimations that they will not ioin the
boycott.
The cause of the east and west
roads severing their traffic arrange
ments with the Kansas City, Pitts
burg &'Gulf1n. railroad is that the
latter is able to have freight brought
from New York to Galveston bv
water and then taken up on it's line
to any point on the line at from 10
to 20 cents per hundred less than
the east and west lines want to
carry it for, or rather have a pool
agreement that they will carry it
for. The K. c., P. & G. has been
doing this and the east and west
railroads have suffered enormously
as a result.
About two weeks ago, it will be
remembered, the east and west
lines had the Kansas City & Gulf
management before the interstate
commerce commission with the
hopes that the latter would force
the Gulf line into raising its freight
rate to the same scale as the east

THE SIZE OF THE SUN.

The earth on which we stand is, no
doubt, mighty globe, measuring as it
does 1000 miles in diameter, yet what are
its dimensions in comparison with those of
the sun?

OF mustard seed, then on the scale the sun
should be represented by cocoanut.
Perhaps, however, more impressive
conception of the dimensions of the great
orb of day may be obtained in this way
Think of the moon, the queen Of the night,
which circles monthly around our heavens,
pursuing, as she does, maj este track, at
a distance of 2lO, 600 miles from the earth
Yet the sun is so vast that if it were a
hollow ball the moon could revolve in the
orbit which it now follows and still be en-
trely inclosed within the suns interior.

Every portion Of this illimitable desert

1t has, indeed, been estimated that if the
heat which is necessarily flowing through
any single sCBare foot of the suns exterior
could be collected and applied beneath the
boilers of an Atlantic liner it would suffice
to produce steam enough to sustain in con-
tinuous movement those engines Of 80, 900

READY FOR THE EXECUTION.
Brown and Taylor, the Condemned
Murderers, Arrive nt Rockville.

Rockville Nd, Aug. 11.-This morning
John Alfred Brown and Humphrey Taylor,
the condemned murderers of Louis and
Dora Rosenstein. were brought TO this
place by Sheriff Patterson and Deputy
Sheriff Robertson, of Frederick county,
where they were tried and found guilty Of
murder in the first degree about one month
ago. They arrived here on the 1855 train
and upon their identity becoming known
they were Immediately surrounded by
large crowd of boys. who followed them
eagerly TO the Jail door. Upon reaching
the prison Brown and Taylor were placed
in separate cells and will spend their last
day and night within a few feet of the
scaffold upon which they will be executed
tomorrow morning.
Deputy Robertson says that Brown and
Taylor were both in very good spirits dur
ing their ride from Frederick and that
Taylor referred to the fact that he had
had many rides at the instance OF this Ros-
enstein affair, but he supposed this would
be his last. Both men appear to be in
the very best health, Taylor has gained
considerable flesh and is apparently in
good spirits. Brown seems little mel

The Scanold upon Wnlcn tney VIII De
hanged has been erected in the jail yard,
but few yards from the cells of the pris-
oners, and has been thoroughly tested and
everything is in order for the execution
on tomorrow.
No pardon is anticipated in either case
from Governor Lowndes, and the idea
strikes the county people as preposterous
concerning the case of Brown, as his guilt
is conclusive to everyone here. The effort
of Mr.. Belt, of Chicago. to have him re-
prieved, Will not, it is believed, meet with
any success. The governor has indicated
that he will not interfere; but let the exc
cution proceed in conformity with the de-
cision of the court which tried him.
The trap will be sprung by Sheriff
Thompson about 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, or as near that hour as possible

ply With District Regulation.
In letter addressed to President Trues-
dell, of the Washington Electric and Trac-
tion Company, this morning the District
Commissioners invite his attention to the
fact that one of the regulations made by
them regarding the issuance of permits for
the construction of conduits for an under
ground electric railroad, has not been COM
piled with his company. and he is re-
Quested to do so at once. The matter re-
ferred to was the deposit of 1900 that is

struction OF electric conduits through the
installation of which the surface of the
streets are SO broken that resurfacing is
necessary.
A short time ago the company obtained
permit to extend their electric conduit
from Maryland Avenue and Fifteenth
Street to Thirteenth and D Streets north
east, and subsequently another permit was
issued for an extension of the conduit on
Eleventh Street northeast and southeast
cover the costs of resurfacing the streets
on either of these permits and the letter
sent today requested that the dposit be
made at once.
The company has ether applications for
similar permits on file at the District
Building and these will be held up until
action is taken on the permits that have
already been issued.

To Raise the Price of Coal.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 17.-Twenty-
one Of the leading coal mine operators
and dealers of this section have formed
an association to control the sale AMI
price of coal, and predict that the product
will go up to s4 ton here within a few
weeks. This association was recently
formed, and the fact became known today.
when a notice for a special meeting to
consider a 25-cent advance was sent out
The demand for coal is greater in east
Tennessee than ever before, while the
production is short, caused by strikes in
various districts and a scarcity of men.
1t is feared there will be a coal famine
next winter.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that " a man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt" is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got medical education and certificate
to the fact, i'll the form of diploma.
And in this particular a woman has 10
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y, has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "medical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
sary
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these artists" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to Dr. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DIR. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
sultations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

The last tie connecting B. H. Smell with
the Government service was severed this
morning. c. w. Smell, the brother, and
Mrs. Smell, the wife. called upon the Com
missioner of Pensions and gave receipt for
$163S salary due the mrrc ,rer from the
1st to the 5th of August, Inclusive. SHELLS
dismissal took effect ON the day preced
ing the murder. 1t was claimed that al
lowance should be made for a fraction of
the annual leave due Smell from July l,
but the Commissioner of Pensions refused
to consider this question, further than say
ing that leave of absence granted by the
Government to its employees was not a
vested right but discretionary with those
who grant it.
In order to pay Smell the balance due
him for services in the Pension Office the
vouchers had to be sent to the jail. where
they were signed by Smell yesterday, and
returned to the Pension Office today.

BATTLE WITH WILDCATS.
A Pennsylvania Hunters Struggle
with Infuriated Beasts.

Bellefonte. Pa, Aug. 17.-AIfred Lucas,
of Clarence, Center county, was the hero
of thrilling encounter with a wildcat on
Tuesday. Lucas resides in section Of
the Allegheny Mountains where wildcats
are unusually numerous, so much so that
in one week recently he killed exactly
twenty-one Of the brutes On Tuesday
accompanied by several dogs. Lucas took
trip to closely wooded and deep gorge
in one OF the defiles of the mountains. The
dogs routed up an old she cat and her two
half-grown kittnes. The dogs soon had
the animals in close combat. the kittens
not being spry enough to eyade them
while the mother cat fought frantically
for her young.
Lucas was afraid to shoot lest he kill
dog instead of a cat but with view
to getting into position where he might
be able to dispatch the old cat, he was
creeping quietly closer to the combatants
when he was startled by a low growl be-
hind him.
Turning hastily, Lucas was Mortified to
see, not dozen PAGES in the rear an old
male cat with fur erect and lashing tail.
Before Lucas could bring his gun to his
shoulder. the cat made leap at him, and
the man saved himself from the cats claws

ing his gun to shoulder, he let fly both

poor aim, and instead of killing the cat
only inflicted severe flesh wounds which
rendered the animal the more frantic.
Recovering itself, the animal again
sprang for Lucas. who clung close to the
tree. and when the beast alighted clubbed
it with his gun.
Two or three times the cats claws tore
the mans clothing and sank into the flesh.
but finally Lucas. with his huge knife,
stabbed it to the heart.
In the meantime the dogs, though all
badly disabled, had succeeded in disposing
of the old she cat and both kittens and
Lucas thus secured four more pelts to add
to his collection.
