Railway News

Unless some emergency arises the
lease of the Chicago, Burlington e.
Quincy Railway company will not be
| placed on record. The laws of none
of the states through which the lines
run require the filing of such doc
ument. and do not provide for il ex-
cept at the will of the parties to the
document. The only thing to be
gained by filing the Burlington lease
would be the protection of the title
TO the property, and, as the railroad
company does not require any pro-
lection from the probable acts of the
railway company. there is no neces-
sity for filing the lease. Informa-
tion that the terms of the document
would be kept from the knowledge
of the public for some time to come
was given yesterday in Chicago sub
sequent TO the regular weekly meet
ing OF the stockholders of the rail
road company. 1t was also an
nounced that the permanent officers
of the railway company had not been
elected, although the lease was eN-
ecuted some two weeks ago. 1t is
likely that the railway company Will
not begin the operation of the leased
lines until the atmosphere in New
York and the northwest clears up
somewhat. 1t is probable that the
failure to file the lease is due to a
desire to prevent its terms from be-
coming known to those who are in
terested in inaugurating a fight
against the joint ownership of the
burlington property.

Annual Jewish Festival That Commenced
Yesterday.
The Jewish historic festival of
Chanullah, or the Feast of Lights,
which is celebrated by observing
Jews for eight days by the lighting
of candles in the home and the sing
ing of the traditional melodies, be-
gan yesterday. The festival recalls
the wonderful rescue of the Jews
and their religion in 165 b. c., from
the edicts of determination issued
by the Syrian tyrant, Antiochus
Eiphaes. The Maccabees, consisting
of the aged father, Mattathias. and
his five valiant sons, were the great
characters that so inspired their
peace-loving brethren with the long
ing for freedom as to drive to de-
struction the overwhelming force of
the Grecian idolaters. Literature
mas made abundant use of these
dramatic events, and Longfellow's
''Jupdas Maccabeus," Ludlow's great
historical novel, Deborah" and
''The Hammer" are rich

New York, Dec. T.-R. G. Dun *
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says
today: Current trade is of ample di-
mansions. but traffic congestion grows
worse and labor controversies add to
the embarrassment CT shippers. If
consignments of fancy goods for the
holiday trade are delayed much longer
there will be serious loss. Prices of
commodities tend upward. Although
nominal quotations of iron and steel
are unchanged figures refer only to fu-
ture deliveries and in most cases prices
for current shipment command con-
siderable premium. In general the
tone is distinctly firmer. with especial
scarcity of billets, and further importa-
lions.

is much concern regarding the filling

grows more alarming. Activity and
strength are conspicuous in the mar
kets for domestic wool. Makers OF
heavyweight woolens received good
duplicate orders. while contracts for
spring lines come forward freely. Cot

MEMORY FOOD.
Case Where Memory Was strengthened
BY Grape-Nuts.

A Case Where Memory Was strengthened
BY Grape-Nuts.
Food that viii actually help the
memory as well as agree perfectly
with Il delicate stomach is worth
knowing of.
y good wife out in Alta, Ia, who
did not know which way to turn to
get food that would agree with her
husband who was left in a weakened
condition after serious illness and
could scarcely retain any food in his
stomach, was one day induced to try
him on Grape-Nuts, the famous
ready-cooked breakfast food, and
from the first he began to improve
rapidly. In three months he had
gained 30 pounds.
She says that his stomach has re-
covered so completely that he can
now eat any kind of food.
She mentioned the boy of an init
mate acquaintance. who was so deli
cate and thin that his appearance
was pitiable and he had no appetite
for any ordinary food He was put
on Grape-Nuts and liked the crispness
and sweetish taste of the new food
and took to it. His improvement be-
gan at once and he is now healthy,
plump boy.
Il know that Grape-Nuts will do
more for weak stomachs than any
medicine The claim that il Will
build up and strengthen the brain
has been proven TO my certain know
ledge. Sister. who writes for the
press. and is compelled to memorize
a great deal, has been using Grape
Nuts and says she is surprised at the
result. There is q marked improve
ment in her memory and the brain
works more perfectly and with bet
ter results.

TO HOLD PLAYERS
No Fear That New Association

SEXTON STANDS BY THE WESTERN
for President Powers, of the
National-BasebaIl
Gossip.

Since the organization of the new
American association baseball league
at Chicago several days ago, big
headlined reports about the Ill
league magnates quaking with fear,
lest all their players should be COB
bled up by w. IL. Watkins. Hickey.
Strobel and others, have awakened
interest in baseball somewhat
It's all bosh,'' said a we'll known
fan. You just wait and mark my
words. Tire LII league is not fast
enough for that. We have plenty of
fast men in our league, but when one
shows himself to be better than the
ordinary he is picked by the NatioIai
or American. The new American as
sOcidtiOn will not be a bit faster
than last years Western association.
They will not pay any better sal
aries, for the different cities in last
years Western association paid big
salaries to get the men they had.
What is the new league going to do.
1t cannot afford to pay $4,000 a year
tor player, so none of the Ameri-
can or National league players will
be seen in its ranks. The next grade
of players are those who played in
the Western association last season.
They are even better class than
those who play with Hielley's
Western league. They demand sal
aries anywhere from $3.50 to $500
month and put up a good article of
ball. These are the men that the
new league will have. They will
drain from the Western association,
not from the LII league.
Now the LII league has no one
to be afraid of but the Western as
and there is no cause for
terror here. Both leagues are bound
by their agreement in the National
Association of Baseball leagues not
to steal each others players, and
the only way they can obtain the
stars of the LII league is to buy
them. Bringing the whole matter To
a point. the LII league is in about
as safe position as it can find

Bleeest Nugget M the Wor\d

before he could convince himself that it was really gold. The chunk was bigger than bulls head and too heavy for Mar tin to carry. He hurried to Cape Corona to secure help He some difficulty in persuading any one to go with him. At last a miner consented, but carefully made the statement that he was going to help bury Fowler and mot to help carry nuggets as he, like others in the camp placed no confidence in Martins story The chunk weighed eighty pounds and required the combined efforts of Martin and his assistant to get it to the camp
 Before starting both men staked claims, Martin, of course, claiming his where he had unearthed the big nugget. As soon as the news of the great find spread min CTS flocked in by the hundreds, but al- though the stream was carefully pros pected for miles. nothing of any great value was found. Martin considered that his find in view of the peculiar circum- stances attending 1t, was an act of Provi- dence, and he never touched intoxicants thereafter With the money he got from the sale of his nugget he went to mining in business-lil<e manner. Later he was attracted to Yucatan, where he made over half a million in quartz mining. He died in New Orleans a few years ago, leaving a fortune of over s1,0OO,0o0.
 To a poor half-breed Indian belongs the credit of the second largest find in Cali fornia. The scene of this discovery was a spot that had been gone over time and again by experienced prospectors and miners. In 1861 firm of young men from St. Louis had been induced to invest in a big placer claim in Nevada County. Old miners laughed in their sleeves when they heard of the deal. The claim had never yielded more than colors and promises and they regarded 1t as moribnnd proposition.
 But the new firm took hold with all the energy of young blood and abiding faith in their judgment and fortune. Sluices were built and the hunt for gold insti-
