MIR. MccALL's LECTURE.
Strong Presentation of the Ev,l Q.
 Intemperance.

| StkVAk 6AVO9&ASatAS&k VA t&4O 1vu O4 Intemperance. Before @ small but appreciative audience
 which gathered in the Circuit Court room at the court house last night. s. P. Mo- Call of New Orleans delivered his lec- turc, "A Drunkard's Fate" This is the second time that Mir. Mccall has delivered his lecture here, | though neither lecture has been a success in re- gard to an audience. His lecture about . | week ago was poorly attended but think ing 1t due to poor advertising. he returned to Montgomery to meet with no better | success. He demonstrated that a free temperance lecture does not take we'll in Montgomery.
 Mir. Mccall is ., big. hne-looking man of apparently middle age and the effects of his twenty years of dissipation show lightly in his outward appearance. He Is . strong. forcible speaker with . good speaking voice. His method of deal ing with his subject in the beginning Ia to tell his own personal experien ces-the beginning of his intemperance, its growth and his habitual drunkenness. the sQuan- dering of his money. the divorce by his wife, his awakening to his senses and his reformation.
 Little did I think" said he, ''that when I started to drinking that 1t would ruin me morally and financially and leave me on cold world homeless and penniless with @ wife and children!'
 Mr. Mccall spoke of the oft-repeated ar- gument that a man who cannot control himself Is a weak man and pointed out notable instances to the contrary. declar- ing that the strongest. the best and most lovable of men fall victims to that curse of humanity-whiskey.
 In this connection. he mentioned Robert Burns, whom he said could and would have ranked with Milton if it had not been for his uncomfortable desire for liquor. He pictured Alexander the Gree after he had conquered all Greece dying as the result of a drunken brawi in Baby lon.
 He quoted several leading medical and scientific authorities, showing the statis- tics in regard to the vitality of drunk ards, showed the alarming increase of the insane of this country, especially in Louis- lana, which he attributed to liquor, and spoke of the only cure of this evil. the prohibition of it's use entirely.
 He cited the influence of absinth. char. treuse and wines on the mon of France, of the wines and lager beer on the once healthy men of Germany. of the brandy. ale and gin on Engiishmen and said that America had acquired the conglomerated tastes of all these nations for strong drink.
 MT. Mccall called attention to heredity and spoke of the helpless condition of Q child cursed with such heritance.
 A panorama of a ,drunkard's life he drew as poverty. ignorance. shame. ob- scurity, beastliness, diseaSe, idiOcy, in. sanity"

TOKGUE-TIED ORA. OR.
A Story Told to Illustrate a Valuable
 Everyday Fact.

"To illustrate a point I wish to make,'' said Mir. E. c. Fowler, the welI-known druggist, "let me tell you of an orator whc hG- the most wonderful eloquence of any man ever heard Yet he haA a great misfortune. He was tonRue-tied. and when he got up to make a speech he would stammer and stutter and finally have to sit down. Yet about once in five or six times his trouble would vanish. and then tell you he was simply grand.
 Now, my point is this: Old-fa shioned cod liver oil Is like that orator. Once in a great many cases 1t does immense good. but oftener than not the sticky, nasty oil or the unwholesome materials used to make 1t into an emulsion SO in- terfere with digestion that all It's medic. inal value is lost. Yet We know genuine strength-building curatives are enveloped In the oil.
 How shall we get these valuabl. building. medicinal elements with. out taking the oil also?
 That question was answered by the two great French chemists, Gautier and Mourgues, who gave to the world their great discovery of separating the cu.a- tive medicinal clements always known to exist in the cod's liver, from the oil or useless part.
 ''The product is known as Vinol-whfch actually contains all that Is incidentally good of cod liver oil. without drop of oil or any disagreeable feature-thus pro- ducing the grandest tonic reconstructor known to medicine. Vinol is now making remarkable cures as a tonic and restora- tive where old-fashioned cod liver oI failed. We guarantee 1t to make strength for the weak, vitalize the old cure coughs, hanging on colds and bronchial troubles. If it does not 1t won't cost you a cent to try It." E. c. Fowler. Druggist.

a line from Glenwood northward to the

we'll as the Northern Pacific. and party
Of the former roads surveyors has begun
work in the country north Of Pelican
Rapids with view OF running line Tor
the extension of the Pelican Rapids
branch.
This 'Peliean branch leaves the Great
Northern in this city and runs northward
to Pelican Rapids. a distance of twenty
four miles. It's extension for distance
of twenty-four miles further would take
it to the southern boundary of the White
Earth reservation and bring 1t into dl-
rect competition with the Soo's new ex-
tension. It is supposed that it will be
extended northward to some point on the
Fosston branch and possibly beyond. With
the Northern Pacific surveyors cutting
into the country at the Soos new terri
tory in the eastern part Of the county,
and the Great Northern running a line
northward, it looks as though the merger
roads were going to contest every foot

there was going to be a good deal OF
railroad building in this section during
the coming summer. so

trains running on the new line by Oct. i
The proposed Northern Pacific line is q

RUMOR OF R.R. WAR.
Will There Be Fight Between the
Hill and the Vanderbilt
Interests?
Building Of Burlington's Ashland,
Neb., Line Points to Contest
for Traffic.
sp, cial to The Journal.

-rr=
Sioux City, Iowa, April 6.-The opinion
prevails here that when the Burlington
carries out It's project to build a line
this year from Ashland. Neb., to Sioux
City to connect the Burlington and Great
Northern railways. it will mean a war
between the Hill and the Vanderbilt in
terests. At present the Vanderbilt, or
North Western interests, own two roads
between Omaha and Sioux City, both par
alleling the Missouri river, one on either
side. Their monopoly of the territory has
enabled them to control large volume
of business from Kansas City, st. Joseph
and Omaha to Sioux City, the twin cities
and the head Of the lakes. When James
]. Hill acquired control of the Burlington
, he found himself with a complete Mis-
souri, river system except for the 100-mile
gap between Sioux City and Omaha. Ell
forts We're made to bring about an ar
rangement with the Vanderbilts by which
business could be handled by Great North
ern and Burlington trains over the North
Western tracks from Omaha to Sioux City,
The North Western people, however,
would listen to no proposition and In con-
sequence the Hill people decided to carry
= out their project.

AMERICAN ROADS BEHIND
Australian Commissioner Points Out De
fects In Railways.

fects In Railways.
Almeric Compton Shaw. deputy COM
missioner of railways for New South
Wales, was in town yesterday. Mr.. Shaw
has made an investigation OF the railway
systems of Great Britain, France and the
United States. with the object Of apply
ing such methods may commend them
selves to his judgment in the Improvement
of Australian railway construction.
The Australian commissioners finds near
1y as much to criticize as to commend in
the American method of railway construc-
tion and administration He does not
take the Australian roadbed or rolling
stock as his basis Of criticism, but those
of Great Britain and France.
"You have certain elements Of excel
lence in your construction of track for
steam railways. but these are negligible
in contemplation of the undoubted imper-
fections that exist. 1t is an excellent and
safe practice not to have the railjoints op-
posite each other, but after consideration
of all the merits to be accorded American
construction, 1 believe you are short in
those very desirable elements Of stability
(which are inherent in the British type OF
permanent. way. I recognize the immense
distances of this continent and the no less
immense cost Of construction. as well as
the inevitability of future conformation to
the rules of safety; but at present find
a distinct and more or less appalling men
ace in the use of the spike instead OF
screws or bolts to fasten tracks down
with. These spikes are constantly work
ing loose and they have to be constantly
driven back to their original positions.
Every time one of these spikes is redriven
it is that much less effective as a holder.
because the hole in which it is embedded
has become enlarged and incapable OF
binding. -s.-ts .st~ 81 =, si.fes..., ,}z r. 80
"I very much question whether, taking

Is the safest. One expensive wreck due
