RAILROAD NEWS.
Kansas City's Explanation Of
Its Commercial Advantage.
Secured Benefit of Secret Re-
ductiOn in Rates.
LAW MAKES TROUBLE.
Elkins Law Forces JObbers to
Show Their Hand.
Now They Want the Schedules
Reduced.
LAW MAKES TROUBLE.

The Kansas City Journal makes the
following candid confession showing the
way railroads discriminate in favor OF
Jobbers in that city. to the disadvantage
of the wholesale business of Topeka and
other Kansas towns:
Eyes of railroad men and shippers
throughout the west are on the Mis-
souri, state railroad commission, which
will begin a three days session in Kan
sas City, Wednesday. at the Coates
House. On the maximum rate schedule
that is finally adopted by the Missouri
board for transportation between Kan
sas City and st. Louis rates in almost
every other part of the middle west will
be based.
This is one of the reasons why the
contest over these rates will be hot.
The Kansas City shippers seek a reduc-
tion of 30 per cent in the present rates.
If they succeed in getting it they will
nave nothing more than they had before
the Elkins law went into effect. This
seems strange, but it is easily explained.
Before the passage of the Elkins law
requiring the railroads to stick to their
legally published rate schedules, the
schedules Were the same as they are to-
day.
But the roads did not enforce them.
Kansas City iobbers were enabled TO
make sales with the knowledge that
their freight rates for transportation to
St. Louis would be 30 per cent lower
than the scheduled rates. And still the
railroads We're enabled to fix their rates
farther west with the Kansas CITY
schedules as the basis without losing
money.
But with the Elkins law requiring
Them to hew to their schedules, they had
to keep the schedules in Kansas City up
to their old figures in order to maintain
profits west of here, and were barred
from giving the old rebates. The result
has been that the low rates-that is. the
actual rates-that made Kansas City
big distributing market were drawn
from under the Kansas City houses.
Their fight is to regain them while the
fight of the roads is not so much against
the Kansas City interests as it is
against establishing a precedent that
could be used farther west.

MELLEN WILL NOT STAY.
Will Leave the Northern Pacific on
October 81.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-President Charles S.
Mellen of the Northern Pacific has an
nounced his intention of quitting the
service of that company on October 81.
Ever since he presented his resigna ton
to the directors of the company there
have been rumors to the effect that he
would remain with the Northern Pacific
company until his successor had been
chosen.
The Injunction proceedings now
pending in the United States courts
made it Impossible for directors to
choose successor to Mr.. Mellen when
the meeting was held a short time ago
and on this account it was expected
that Mr.. Me1len would De induced to
hold the Office of president until Feb
ruary. when the directors will hold an
other meeting. He has declined to do
this. however, and he has announced
that he will leave St Paul on October
~, arriving i'll New York two DAYS lat

A meeting of the board of directors

ford road viii be held in New Haven
on Wednesday next and at that time
Mr.. Mellen will be chosen president of
that company. He will enter upon his
new duties November l. It is consid-
cred likely that the directors of the
Northern Pacific will fill Mr.. Mellen's
position, temporarily at least within
the next two weeks. 1t is rumored that

oysters. In fact these oysters have re-
ceived more attention of late than the diu
ing cars or the passenger traffic. The
oyster trains are ordered to run light and
sometimes gain much ten OF twelve
hours on the schedule. The engineer who
gets his oysters over the line in record

by the company and of envy by his fellow
railroaders. In short the festive though
silent and unobtrusive oyster bound on

1t looks as if the Santa Fe would tote the
oysters across the country in the future
unless the Union Pacific and other roads
hump themselves.

coast over the Santa Fe- The service
seemed to be satisfactory to the shippers

A PLEASANT SURPRISE
In Store for Those who Doubt.

When you read that a sufferer of
many years standing has been COM
pletely restored to health by using
Smiths Cure-all. you are inclined to
doubt the statement and, in fact, nave
no belief in it whatever. The reason
for this is that so much is claimed for
the Cure-all it is impossible for anyone
to believe it: if the advertiser confined
his claims to the curing of one disease,
as do the Droprietors of Pyramid Pile
Cure, readers would have much more
faith in published testimonials. Those
familiar with this great remedy know
that testimonials as to its merit may be
relied upon implicitly. also that the
cures brought about by its use are little
short of marvellous. The genuineness of
the testimonial here given is vouched
for and is but one of thousands received:
I wish to write you and tell you
what your Pyramid Pile Cure mas done
for me. ] have been troubled with piles
for the past five years and used every
remedy that was recommended 70 mt.
While some would give me relief for a
while they never have cured. 1 was So
bad this summer 1 could not get up or
down without pain: could not attend to
my household duties. Finally I got Il
50-cent box of your Pyramid Pile Cure
at the druggists and it is now two
months since 1 used the last of the box,
and have. had no trouble since I can
say it is really and truly a good remedy
4 am so thankful l tried it as 1 know
it has cured me. and if at any time I
should have any such trouble again [
would use it at once. Since I am cured
have recommended it to my friends,

and ! know they will use it too. I am
so thankful I ever learned of your cure
