of a reduction from 50 cents per ton to 10
cents per ton. and all the other lines were
compelled to meet it.
At yesterdays meeting Il more harmon

a resolution was adopted by which all lines
agreed that on and after March % the rates
for coal from the mines to East st. Louis
whether the same was for railroad or COM
mercial purposes. should be 80 cents per
ton. When the 80 cent rate prevailed there
was a 10 per cent rebate on coal to be used
for domestic purposes. There is an actual
loss On every ton of coal hauled at the
present rate of 10 cents.

OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL.
Miss Nethersole Goes Through the
Ordeal With Fortitude.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, March 16.-Miss Olga Neither
sole underwent a surgical operation at o
private sanitarium in London Saturday. and
the surgeon cabled the actresses brother,
Mt. Louis Nethersole, that the results had
been most satisfactory. Mr.: Nethersole al
SO received a cablegram from a member
of his family hat Miss Nethersole had
borne the ordeal with fortitude. and that
the indications were now all In her favor.
This will be good news to the many
friends of Miss Nethersole in America. she
was Informed by surgeons in this country
about a month ago that she must undergo
an operation to save her life. She retired
from the stage at once and began prepara..
tons for the ordeal. which she was advised
would be of a serious character.
Later she was told that IL she desired
she might go to her home in London for
the operation. and she sailed at once. she
stood the voyage well. and the English
surgeons having confirmed the verdict OF
those in this country as to the necessity
for an operation, she went to the santarlum
in London last Thursday.
Mr. Nethersole was much %rejoiced at the
encouraging reports he received OF his sis
ter's condition. II hope and believe that
she will recover very speedily said ne.
.Of course, though, it will be a long time
before she can resume her stage work. She
viii certainly rest for a year, and 1t may
possibly be longer than that before she
acts again.

GREAT NORTHERN STOCK.
Profit for Original Holders
on New ISsue of $50. 900, 900.

President Hills coming issue of stock to
the extent of S25, % 0,G00 will max Sis. 0Oo.-
00 of Great Northern stock outstanding. 1t
has been intimated that present stockhold-
ers will get the benefit of the issue. This
is explained to mean that his former policy
in stock Issues will be again observed. Since
the first issue of the Great Northern stock
OF s25, 900, 600 an approved list of original
stockholders were allowed to buy each a
new issue at par.
Great Northern preferred is now quoted
at sos, or more than double the par value.
In issuing new stock to former stockholders
they have always been allowed. it is under
stood. to take what they wanted at par. OF
the coming stock issue of 2 100000, the
market value will exceed $4,000 coo. and
those of the old holders who take advantage
of this issue will more than double their
money.
It is claimed that Mr.. Hill is himself 4
heavy stakeholder in the Great Northern.
If true, he profits accordingly. This policy
of original preference to first holders is
sroken of as the chief reason for the figure
Which Great Northern has attained. 1t
certainly cannot be on account of the dtyi,
derd. as Z per cent merely represents 31a
per cent, with the stock soaring about sos.
