ROADS TO RESTORE
old CHICAGO RATE
Passenger Officials Say That
Eight-DoIlar Fare Will Be
Withdrawn.

The days of the Chicago-St. Paul So
rate are numbered, according to the
statments of st. Paul passenger Off
Gals 1t may now be withdrawn any
day and the old $11.50 tariff restored.
Orders were received at several of
the city passenger offices yesterday in
structing the agents to limit return
tickets sold on a SIG basis to ten days.
Passenger men interpret these instruc-
tons to mean that the cheap rate will
be withdrawn Oct. 1.
1t is said by an official who is in a
position to know, that all the roads
have agreed to restore the old rate.
Even the Rock Island has been won
over to the restoration idea, and has
promised to cause the other lines no
trouble by keeping in force the IS tariff.
What pressure has been brought to
bear on Traffic Manager Sebastian. of
the Rock Island, is unknown. Less
than month ago he declared that he
would refuse to withdraw the cheap
st. Paul Chicago rate if the other lines
of the Western Passenger association
did not make some concessions re-
garding the adoption of the new mile
age ticket.
So far as can be learned no conces-
sions were made. The Western Pas
senger association has voted to abolish
the credential system and substitute a
new mileage book. The credential book
is Mr.. Sebastian's patent and he draws
large royalty from its sale. 1t was to
protect his personal interests that he
fought against the abolition of the Gre
Dental system. -loi
Now the announcement comes from
reliable source that the Rock Island
has agreed to the restoration of the old
$11.50 rate between ST. Paul and Chi
cago. Mr. Sebastian said that he would
ncf fn to n icy Ir10 milo
the other lines ceased their fight on his
mileage book. The new mileage system
has been adopted and the So rate is
shortly to be Withdrawn and replaced
with the old tariff of $11.50. Railroad
men are in a quandary to know what in
fluence brought about Mr.. Sebastian's
withdrawal of opposition to the restor-
alton of the old rate.
Another question that is being asked
is why the Wisconsin Central changed
front. When the Central announced the
So rate three months ago General Pas
senger Agent Pond, of that line, declared
that it was to be permanent rate. He
told the other passenger agents that, II
once adopted by his road, it would re-
main as the tariff for Twin City-Chi-
cago traffic. Several weeks ago the
Wisconsin Central expressed a will
ingness to restore the old fare, and it
was only the opposition of the Rock
Island that kept the roads from with
drawing the cheap fare.
Although it is certain that the $11.5O
rate will be restored on or shortly after
Oct 1, st. Paul passenger officials say
that no change will be made before
that date, as the lines have advertised
a rate Of So for the round trip to Chi
cago for Sept &c, 81 and %, on ac-
count of the centennial exhibition.

CAMP LAKEVIEW, Mimi, Sept. II.
There has been some exceptionally
good work done by the men on the
range during their preliminary prac-
tice to secure a team for the interstate
shoot, and every man seemed deter
mined to get a place on the final team
if possible.
There was a contest between two
squads which proved to be entirely sat-
isfactory to Capt. Lee, who has the
range work in charge. The names of
the men were placed in a hat and two
of the officers commenced drawing I'M
It'll they had secured the proper num-
Der. The shoot was held at fixed dis
tances and skirmish runs and at the
close there was but about 40 points
difference between the teams.
There are now twenty-five men in
camp, who will from now on continue
to practice, but their scores will be
kept a secret. Out of the twenty-five
ternates to compete in the coming in
terstate shoot.
Following are the names of the men
from each regiment and the scores
they made on fixed distances and

The annual shoot for the team from
the different regiments was held, as

used in the past.

they have to shoot on the long range,
and the ground is very rough. 1t is
expected the new range will be COM

will do little work there before the

is still freely paid here for fine cotton,
and no one seems now to apprehend any
recession from this figure. Upon the
other hand, 10 cents is confidently
looked for within very short time.
The cotton is all out of the fields here,

there are not, all told, three bales OF
