Gang of Ticket swlndlers.

An official of the Western Passenger
association tells the following story Of
how the detectives of the association
ferreted out the recent ticket forgery
case in Chicago. he says:
Three weeks ago information reached
us that a certain person was located in
room in a Clark street hotel, being
registered there with a woman by the
name of w. T. Davidson and wife. This
person was connecting with brokers on
Clark street and the supposition was
forging tickets for the brokers.
1--WE at once arranged to place meh
in the adjoining room at the hotel, and
for two weeks kept the party under sur
veillance. The information obtained in
this manner verified the report and
showed daily connection between this
man, whose name proved to be Edward
Farnum and Chas. ]. Allardt, ticket
broker at 1872 South Clark street.
Having determined this point, we
sent men to Allardt's to purchase
tickets, and succeeded in purchasing
specimens of forged, altered and raised
tickets. We next obtained warrants for
the arrest of all the parties concerned.

Rock Island and Union Pacific to
Have Joint Freight Agency.

Denver, Colo, Aug. THE Union
Pacific and Rock Island will establish
a joint freight agency at Pullman,
probably September l. It will be for
the interchange of through business be-
tween the two roads.
This is considered very important
move and is taken as a mark of the
close relations between the two roads in
Denver. Railroad men look upon the
move showing conclusively that the
Union Pacific and Rock Island are
working together on through business,
and that the Rock Island stands in the
same relation to the Union Pacific in
Denver that the Northwestern does in
Omaha.
1t is also considered as move show
ing that the Union Pacific and Rock
Island have come to some understand
ing and that the Burlington will have
to work out its own salvation on
through business. In other words that
the Union Pacific will give business to
the Rock Island in preference to the
Burlington.
The establishment of the joint freight
agency at Pullman will, it is said in
Seventeenth street, be to the disadvan
tage of the Burlington, as the Rock
Island will practically control a large
part of the Union Pacific'S weStbound
business, working for the Union Pacific
in through business. However. it is
said that there is no other significance
in the move, and that it is only to ia
cilitate the movement of through BUSH
ness.

county court its tndenture conveying to
the Illinois Trust and Saving bank of
chicago, as trustee, a mortgage of the

given for the purpose of securing the is

able in 1892 and drawing interest at 6
per cent. One Of the most significant
clauses of the mortgage is the following:

ROCK ISLAND AT MEMPHIS.
Want Better Terminal Facilities For
the ChoctaW.

Terminal privileges have been granted
Officials of the road regard the fact as
a great victory. The Frisco, Louisville
and Nashville and Rock Island have
petitions before the council asking for
somewhat similar privileges and the
fact that Illinois Central has secured it's
grant is not regarded with satisfaction
by any of these roads,
The privileges of Illinois Central are
variously estimated as worth from ST.
100000 to 100000: The road secures
dockage and terminal facilities that are
eminetnly satisfactory and will be ade-
quate for many years no matter how
the city grows. 1t is pointed out that
Illinois Central has spent a great deal
in that city, and has therefore merited
more from the city council than the
other roads which have less investment
in the city and have done less for it.
Choctaw is expected to be next most
favored applicant for privileges in
Memphis, and is stated to be badly in
need of just such facilities as those OBJ
tanned by Illinois Central. The city
council. while it has favored the Illinois
Central company, does not wish to an
tagonize the other roads in any way.
For that reason much interest is mani
Tested in the report of the railroad COM
mittee on the petition of Frisco and

say that in all probability grants will
be made proportionate to the benefit
the roads have been to the city, and in
innate that the concessions granted
Illinois Central were made entirely on
that basis.

How to Prevent Sunstroke

The heated term is withstood without
a whimper by those people who have
healthy stomach. Hot weather cannot
hurt the man or woman whose stomach
and digestive organs are perfectly
healthy. But you go into July or Au-
gust with disordered stomach and see
what the result will be. Sunstroke at
tacks only the man or woman whose
stomach and digestive organs are too
feeble to protect the strength and mann
tain ones physical power to resist the
depressing effects of the summers sun.
Summer diet, with all its vegetables
and unripe fruits, adds its unstable in
huence to the depressing effects of hot
weather, causing still greater decline
in ones strength and vitality.
Ninety nine of every one hundred peo-
pie whose health and strength runs
down in summer, allow their stomach
or digestive organs to get out of order.
This is easy enough-in fact, it is hard
to prevent without the use of some
thoroughly reliable digestant.
Kodol after meals is not only a thor
oughly reliable digestant, but it con-
tains great tonic and reconstructive
properties as WELL This famous remedy
enab ies the stomach and digestive
organs to thoroughly digest, assimilate
and contribute to the tissues all of the
nourishment that is contained in such
food as may be eaten.
Kodol clears the way and makes sure
the journey from sickness to health and
weakness to strength If the stomach
is disordered kodol will correct it. If dis
eased Kodol will cure it.
Kodol lays the foundation for health,
and the upbuilding of strength by
cleansing, purifying and sweetening the
glands and membranes of the stomach
and by supplying natural juices neces-
sary to perfect digestion, assimilation
and nutrition. Kodol prevents collie,
cholera, diarrhoea, fiux, dysentery and
summer complaints generaAy, and it's
use will cure Indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia permanently. Kodol is good
alike for young and old. Your drug
gist sells it,
This famous tonic is prepared in the
laboratories of E. C. Dewitt & Co.,
Chicago, whose facilities for the manu-
facture of medical preparations are
unequalled anywhere in the country.

PRESIDENT HILL TO FARMER,
Says They Should Own the Railroads
Themselves.

Spokane. Wash, Aug. 7.-Following
the second conference between ]. J. Hill.
president of the Great Northern. and
the northwest farmers, these reductions
were announced:
President Mohler of the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation company said that
the roads would give a 10 per cent re-
duction on wheat shipments to the Pa
cific coast before August Is.
President Mellen announced that a
10 per cent reduction would be given
on wheat shipments from the east.
President Hill said this reduction
would cut off one-fourth of the entire
profits of the railways.
The farmers of the Palouse country
asked a reduction of wheat rates to the
coast of from 12% cents per bushel to
10 cents, or 1888 per ton.
In his speech, President Hill said:
4 don't know what you're going to
do until you turn your eyes to the east
for new markets. The railroads have
made wheat more valuable in Mime
sofa and possibly we can help you here
Let the people and the railroads be good
neighbors and fair to each other. We
would like nothing better than for the
people along the road to own the rail-
roads themselves. There is no reason
why they should not"
