BIG MILLS TO CLOSE
Minneapolis Worried Over
Freight Tie-Up.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 2-The big
gest Touring milling system in the
world will, in all likelihood soon be
forced to close. The worst freight tie
up that ever confronted Minneapolis
shippers IS now at its height Matters
may become worse, but it is impossible
that they can be much worse There
is every probability that most Of the
mills viii close down. The Pillsbury-
Washburn company, the Washburn-
Crosby company and the Consolidated
company announce their intention to
run SO long as they can get cars to
load, despite the fact that it is impos-
sible to go through to Chicago. The
millers take the view that freight al
ready on the cars will be first deliver
ed when relief does come, and that 1t
is well to secure even that advantage.
Western roads could move a much
larger percentage of traffic than they
are now handling if they had eastern
connections to turn the cars over to.
The same state of affairs exists in the
south and east; the railways from Kan
sas City and st. Louis to gulf ports are
unable to accept anything from their
connections but live freight The
millers are exhausting every resource
IN their efforts to avoid closing. 1t is
not desired that 5000 men be thrown
into fdleness and the business of COM
pRnies cut off in the middle of a sea
son. when orders are rushing from all
over east and abroad. Business with
the naillers was never better than now,
so far as orders are concerned.

the afternoon fishing or hunting, or ne
may want to spend the time loaflng and
joking with the others negroes of the
countryside at the store some distance
down the road. At any rate, he holds TO
the old idea that Saturday is negro day
SO far as the last part of the day is con-
cerned. But the idea is not as general
now as it used to be. There are many
negroes throughout the agricultural sec
tons Of the South now who would never
think of claiming sthe half holiday Sat
urday They toll after - o'clock Just as
they toiled before the noon hour. They
have 0utlived the old idea, and when you
come to think of 1t the fart must be put
down to the negros credit, for it shows
that he has learned to put value time,
and time in farming. as in every other
kind of business, is worth great deal in
this age
But I was thinking that the half holi-
day plan. which has become so popular
in other lines of bushes and industry, is
after all the outgrowth of the old idea
Of the black man. Shall [ say 1t is but
the evolution of the old negro day plan?
Well, it is in effect at any rate. OF course
the various institutions which close down
at Saturday noon now do not close for the
same reason which imDelled the old
gro to quit his plow or his hoe at the
noon hour on the last day of the week
to 90 fishing or hunting to loaf
around the country store. A half day
rest has become z business essential.
but it is a fact, nevertheless, that the
idea of resting up Saturday afternoon
originated with the negro. and by the
countryside is still known as negro

QUININE WAS PRECIOUS.
Drug That Was in Great Demand
During the Civil War.

1--WE needed quinine worse than we
needed lead and powder during the war
between the states" said the old soldier
as he glanced up at some of the relics
on the wall and in the showcases at
Memorial hall. and if we'd had more
quinine there wouldn't have been so
many of our comrades sleeping now in
unmarked graves. Quinine was the one
thing we needed above everything, and
it was the one thing we couldn't get ex-
cept under the most difficult cfrcum-
stances How many men we would have
saved during some of the sWampy cam
paigns of the SOS if we could have Sc
cured Quinine in proper quantities there
is no way sof telling, but it is safe to
say many lives would have been saved
You can bet we had a hard time Of it
when it came to matter of getting
quinine 7 believe the Union soldiers
paid more attention to the business Of
keeping US from getting quinine than
they did to the matter of keeping our
supply of ammunition down to a mini
mum, and they knew we could shoot
pretty well, too. But they knew also
that Gen. Ague was not slow when it
came to decimating the ranks Of an
army of men. Besides the aforesaid
general would save them some trouble
But speaking of quinine reminds me of
a little experience / had during one of
the Arkansas campaigns. and it shows
just how difficult it was TO get quinine.
I got hold of a few ounces of quinine,
and wanted to smuggle it into Confed-
crate lines. There was absolutely no
chance in the world to do It if it should
become known that the package con-
tanned quinine I finally figured out
scheme. bought SIS worth of salt from
a smuggler, and put the quinine deep
into the salt so it could not be found
without pouring all the salt out. I knew
could get the salt through the lines. I
got it through and the soldiers got the
quinine. They didn't need the salt, but
never made an investment that gave
me more satisfaction than that SIS /
paid for the salt New Orleans Times

TO END BLOCKADE.
The Pennsylvania Chicago-New York
Special Will Be Sacrificed.

GRCSAAA w 4AA DO 9AGAAAEGQs
Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-The Pennsyl-
vania railroads famous twenty -hour
train from New York to Chicago. upon
which the company has spent at least
S500,000 for equipment and in bringing
to perfection arrangements for It's
scheduled runs at rate of speed never
before attained by any railroad in the
world in any long distance run, will be
abandoned in order that the railroad
company may break the freight conges-
ton which has crippled the road for
months and relieve the coal famine in
the east.
The taking off of the Pennsylvania
special was the subject of many confer
ences held during the past week in the
Office of President Cassatt. There were
present all the vice presidents and
transportation managers. It was agreed
that the reputation of the company was
at stake and that the freight congestion
must be broken if human ingenuity and
determined effort could do It.
1t was agreed also that the attack
must be made al the top and that the
Pennsylvania special" the pride of the
passenger department must be sacri-
feed. This will be the first train to go.
If necessary other fast passenger trains
viii be taken off, but the freight block
ade must be broken, so President Cas-
satt and coworkers say, as the coal
famine must be relieved if it is in the
power of the Pennsylvania company TO
do it.

AFTER RAILROADS.
Illinois Legislature Aroused at
Railroad Accidents.

Springfield Ill, Feb. Am extraor6f-
nary effort is to be made in this session
Of the general assembly to raise or ut
terly remove the $1,000 limitation on
amount of damages recoverable from
persons, companies or corporations for
causing the death of any person by
wrongful act, neglect or default" Two
bills in this direction have already been
introduced, one by Representative
Greenebaum of Chicago, which raises
the death damages limit from $1,000 to
$4,000 and one by Representative M. E.
Hunt OF Chicago. which raises the limit
TO $4,000. A bill removing the limita-
zion and leaving the amount of death,
damages to be fixed by a jury in their
judgment is expected. If one should not
be introduced soon. an effort Will be
made to remove the Limitation by
amending the Greenebaum or the Hunt
bill in committee.
Previous sessions of the legislature
have witnessed bitter fights over this
question. especially the session of 1898.
All the signs point to harder fight this
time than ever The railroads have been
the most vigorous opponents of legisla-
tion inimical TO the $4,000 limitation.
This general assembly appears to have
a larger number than usual of mem
bers who think it popular and good
politics to night the railroads. Labor
organlzatio generally are for removal
OF the limitations. Corporations in bus
mess which frequently lead them to
cause death, particularly the railroads
are keenly alive to the situation as in
dictated by well authenticated reports of
their willingness now to compromise on
legislation raising the death damages
1imitatiou from $4,000 to $4,000
A favorite argument promises to be
roughly put, that the present law of IL
nnois makes it cheaper to kill a man
than 20 MAIN him" since only $4,000
can be recovered by his family for death
while there is no limitation on the
amount recoverable for injuries New
York experience is being drawn on ex-
tenEively in this preparation for the
fight The state had a 1000 death limit
untl its new constitution was adopted a
