ANOTHER BIG DEAL.
New Corporation Being Formed TO
Secure Controlling Railroad stock.

New York, April S.-.The Mail and
Express says
From people close to Messrs. James
j. Hill and j. Pierpont Morgan II was
learned today that there Is ground for
the story that a new corporation Is be-
ing considered for the purpose of carry
ing a controlling interest In the stock
OF the larger railroad companies, which
some have styled the new trans-con-
tinental system.
This new corporation, II formed,
would hold shares OF the Northern Pa
clfc. Burlington Erie and possibly the
st. Paul and Great Northern. II Is not
settled whether the debentures OF the
new company would be issued against
the underlying securities, but this is
considered likely. This Is the method
pursued In the case Of the railroad Sc
curltlcs company which was organized
by the Hartman people for the purpose
Of handling the Illinois Central.
In connection with a plan to control
the charter OF the ST. Paul road so as to
permit a majority Of the stock, instead
of two thirds, 10 increase the capital,
some new points Of interest were
brought out. Ii was alleged In the APP
plicatlon that James j Hin and assoc
clates had made a traffic deal between
the Northern Pacific and Burlington
which diverted a large amount Of busi-
ness TO the Burlington which formerly
went over the st. Paul road and 1t was
alleged that unusual discrimination is
being practiced under the new regime
against the St. Paul company. II is
claimed that MI Hill and his associates
have a large block Of st. Paul stock and
seek to control it.

Hoods Sarsaparilla.
BY thoroughly purifying the blood,
this great medicine reduces the in

In these and all other catarrhal cases,
Hoods Sar,aparilla so thoroughly rem

In fact, because OF the character of
