hold the corn situation in the hollow OF

bid UP TO IS cents a bushel yesterday but
nobody had any to sell even at that fig

fused to let go although he could have
taken big profit on his holdings. He
says corn Will 60 to IS cents and there

RATE WAR BREWING
o n Passenger Business From Mis-
souri, River Eastward

Chicago, May 3.-The Evening Post
today says: An east bound passenger
rate war seems imminent. The Wabash
today gave notice that it would put into
effect such reductions as would pre-
serve its differential rate from Kansas
City. The Burlington and the Missouri
Pacific have declared their intention of
meeting any reductions affecting Kan
sas City Atchison, Leavenworth, and
St Joseph. Others undoubtedly will
follow its lead, and it therefore appears
that what should be an unusually prof
liable season for roads handling east
bound passenger traffic will be one of
minimum gains, if any.
Besides the Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo there are numerous conyen-
lions and annual meetings scheduled
for the summer throughout the east.

ACCIDENT TO THRESHER.
Edward johnson Has Arm Friuhtful-
ly Mangled BY Belt.
F>rom Saf,ySou,c no;1- Co-a4 .

O~Se 0Ay - A1 NoLCLICs
Edward Johnson, who for many
years has been running a threshing
machine in the valley, met with his
first serious accident, yesterday,
while engaged in threshing for Mar
tin Tuson, whose ranch is about a
dozen miles west. He was attempt
ing to oil the cylinder when his
sleeve was caught by the belt and
before he could extricate himself his
arm was drawn between the belt and
pulley and horribly mangled.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Johnson
was brought to the city and a doc
tor attended him. 1t was found that
the arm was broken at the wrist and
also some distance back, in addition
to which the flesh was torn and LAGER
ated fearfully. He took his mishap
philosophically and said that he prob
ably should be grateful that his in
juries were not more serious and
that fate had destined him to be ex-
empt from a similar or worse acct
den for so long a time.

TO SPAN THE YELLOWSTONE.
Contract Let For Bridge At Miles
City.

M. S. Hewett & Co., who have the
contract for building the bridge across
the Yellowstone below the city, have
also secured the contract for erect
ing the bridge which the people of
Custer county have voted to build
across the same stream at a point a
few miles west Of Miles City. The
cost of the latter bridge is to be $685.
BAT and owing to the width of the
river will be quite an imposing struc-
ture.
AS described by the Yellowstone
Journal the plans call for two spans
of 80 feet, making the length $40
feet, with n approach span so feet
in length at the south end, and one
timber approach, 25 feet long, at
each end. From the south end an
earth fill about 300 feet long
will be made to meet the
wooden approach. The substructure
will consist of three tubular pipes and
one concrete pier in the center. The
concrete pier will be 48 feet long and
ten feet wide at the base, with a
rounding ose or the west end cover
ed with sheet steel an inch thick.
This pier will be sunk four feet be-
low the river bed and SO piles are to
be used in the foundation. These
piles will be driven to a depth of 20
feet, or until eight successive blows
from a hammer weighing 1000
pounds fail to sink them two inches.

as No. 1, will consist of two SIG sheet
steel tubes, "a feet long and three

1t Happened in a Druo store,

One day last winter a lady came
to my drug store anu asked for a
brand of cough medicine that I did
not have in stock" says Mr.. G. r.
Grandin, the popular druggist of On
tario, N. Y. "She was disappointed
and wanted to know what cough pre-
paration l could recommend. I said
to her that l could freely recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
that she could take a bottle of the
remedy and after giving it a fair trial
if she did not find it worth the money
to bring back the bottle and l would
refund the price paid. In the course
of a day or two the lady came back
in company with a friend in need of
a cough medicine and advised her to
buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy" 1t

TAKES NEW TACK.
County Attorney Hathhorn Continues
War on "Cribs."

Nounty Attorney Hathnorn Continues
War on "Cribs."
County Attorney Hathhorn has TAX
en- another hitch on the strong pull
which the law gives him and has
struck out in a different direction in
his efforts to rid the city of the
"cribs." which have in the past form
ed among the worst places of evil
repute with which the authorities
have had to contend. Finding it prac-
tically impossible to drive out the
class of colored c"ourtezans who u.s.
ually occupy them, he has instituted
proceedings against the parties who
rent the houses. Yesterday he caus-
ed warrants to be issued for the ar
rest of M. H. Smith and his wife,
Cora, on the charge of renting their
premises for the purposes of pros
titution.
Constable Bond served the war
rants and brought the defendants into
Judge Mann's court, where they took
statutory time to plead and ordered
to give bonds.
Smith has long borne an unsavory
reputation and is the fellow who
sometime ago narrowly escaped be-
ing run over by a train while coming
to town with a migratory harem
which he had established in a cover
ed wagon and with which he had
made a tour of the range districts.
The houses he rents are mere shacks
and are said to be built upon rented
ground and in addition to being nuis-
ances in other respects are a con-
slant menace to surrounding property
because of their likelihood to be de-
stroyed by fire, as they are veritable
tinderboxes.
