Beware Of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a symp-
tom. Consumption and bronchitis,
which are the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, have for their first indi-
cation a persistent cough, and if prop
erly treated as soon as this cough ap-
pears are easily cured. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has proven wonder
fully successful, and gained its wide
reputation and extensive sale by its
success in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not beneficial
it will not cost you a cent. For sale
by all druggists.

BIG FIGHT ABOUT OVER
VANDERRILTs THOUGHT TO HAVE
SECURED THE UNION
PACIFIC
STOCK HAS CEASED RISING
Wall Street Operators Think the
New York Central Magnate Has
Won a Bitterly Fought
Fight.

NEW YORK, April 30.-It was believed
today in Wall street that the contest for
control Of the Union Pacife property,
which has been for some time in prog
ress with a resultant advance of tWen-
ty-seven points in the last two weeks
had been virtually ended by the surren-
der of one of the competing bidders. 1t
was generally accepted that the Wander
bilt interest was the successful purchas-
er. The cessation of the rise In Union
Pacific was followed by a great rise in
New York Central, which moved up 7h
and in Pennsylvania which rose ~.
Control of the Union Pacific railway
has undoubtedly passed in the recent ex-
traordinary active market for the shares.
Even Union Pacific interests today ad
mitted that the buying could be explain
ed on no other theory than that an effort
had been made to get control of the
property. 1t was declared that control
had not yet actually passed, but 1t was
admitted that in the next few days 1t
might be developed that new interests
had secured enough of the shares to
place them in control of the property.
Wall street held very generally to the
theory that the Union Pacific has been
acquired by w. K Vanderbilt. Mr. Van
derbilt in 1859 took the usual course of
AItdNlllS IL puDllC uGIldl through the press
of the reports then current that he p O.
posed to combine the Union Pacific with
the Chicago & Northwestern. He is
now abroad, but it is believed that W TIL
the conclusion of the Burlington deal he
has felt the necessity of protecting the
Northwestern in connection with the
Pacific coast for all time by uniting the
two properties. In the present develop
ment Of railway policy this union has
more advantages and less objections
than two years ago.
Other interests besides Mr. Wander
bits are believed to have been endeav
oring to secure control of the Union Paci-
fic and it is believed that the conflict
OF these interests in the market accounts
for some of the extraordinary move
ments in the dealings in Union Pacific
shares. 1t was said that interests in
the st. Paul had been buyers and that
also Chicago interests like Marshall
Field and n. B. Dean had also come
into the market as heavy buyers, hoping
to get voice in the management, If not
control of the Union Pacific.

Father and Son Confess to Murder
Near Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 30.-Dr. ].
L. Gartrell. seventy years old, today
confessed to Chief of Police Hayes that
he killed D. B. Done gan, a Colorado
miner, whose body was found yesterday
in Mulberry Greek. between Amoret and
Nihcrt, Mo. The confession was in writ
ing. w. P. Gartrell the Doctors son,
confessed to his knowledge of the crime
and to having helped dispose of the body.
The men were arrested last night after
DR.. Gartrell had demanded the proceeds
from a sale of Donegan's team and wag-
on, which had been sold by "a local deal
er. The younger Gartrell was the first to
confess.
When shown his sons confession Dr.
Gartrell admitted having hit Donegan
with an AK.
Donegan left Colorado. for Kansas City
March Is, and was driving overland to
Oklahoma when he met the Gartrells.
The case has attracted much attention
owing to the similarity with the disap-
rearance of Gilbert Gates, many years
ago, and the recent trial and acquit al
of the octogenarian, Alexander Jester,
who was charged with killing Gates.
DR.. Gartren fought in the Confederate
army under Cen Price, and up to short
time ago was an inmate Of the Confe5-

Receipts Decrease and Expenses Go

LONDON, April S0-The semi-annual
meeting of the shareholders of the Grand
Trunk railroad here today was largely
attended The directors reports, show
ing decreases in the receipts and an in
crease in the expenses, were accepted
without criticism
The president, Sir Charles Rivers Will
son, said the Buffalo exhibition ought to
bring largely increased traffic, and re-
commended that the shareholders visit 4.
He dilated on the advantages which ac-
crued to the Grand Trunk railroad by
the new arrangement allowing it to enteI
the union depot at Buffalo,
Referring to the companys intention to
spend 100000 al Portland, Me, for the
construction of n new grain elevator,
Sir Charles said the feeling in Canada
over the patronage of an American port
was quite unjustihable, as MontreaPS ia
cilities for shipping and storing grain
were extremely inadequate. Sentiment
must not be allowed to interfere with
business. But he was glad to say Mon
trcal contemplated making considerable
improvements. Portland, however, was
the natural outlet of the line. The re.
tirmg directors were reelected.

THOUSANDS GO WEST.
HOmeseekers' Rush Commences on
Large Scale.

Large Scale.
Homeseekers by the thousand poured
through the gates at the union depot
yesterday, and fully 1000 constituted the
record for the first day of the last ex-
cursion Of the season. Today the rush
will be very much larger and the coast
flyers of both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific will be sent in at least
three sections Two sufficed each road
yesterday, but they were the heaviest
sections that have been sent out in a
long time. The 500 also drew a generous
crowd.
On the second section of the Great
Northern train were two families which
attracted the attention of the passenger
men. In the first there were exactly
fourteen members, and not one of the
children was over fifteen years of age.
Outside of the parents, the company only
received three half-fare tickets for the
dozen offspring, six of the them being
small enough to travel free.
Only six children were officially con-
nected with the second family, but all
of them Travelled free of cost. The oldest
IN this bunch was seven years of age
and was technically liable to a half-fare
rate. But the officials generously passed
him, assigning the reason that a man
who was doing so nobly toward populat-
ing his country should be entitled to
some latitude in transportation for his
children.
