SOME DEAL AFOOT.
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and
Rock Island Involved.


Rock Island Involved.
New York, Feb. Authorization from
semi-official sources to-day shows that
an alliance or agreement of some sort
has been entered into between the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in
terests, on the one hand, and the Rock
Island Railroad on the other.
Just what stage the negotiations
have reached and the character of the
alleged agreement or alliance are as
yet matters of conjecture, as none of
the principals interested are willing to
go into details. The matter has been
under negotiation for some time, and
most of the important points have
been agreed on. An official announce
ment of the scheme is looked for in a
few days. .,-...
A director of the Rock Island Com
pany, after communicating with Dan
iel G. Reid to-day, said there was
Something in the wind" President
Leeds of the Rock Island Company is
now in the West, but is expected back
shortly. Messrs. Reid and Leeds are
reported to have represented the Rock
Island Company together with eX-
Judge Moore, in the company's nego-
tiations with Union and Southern Pa
cific interests. Judge Moore is chair
man of the Rock Island Company's
Finance Committee.
1t is a matter of common belief in
Wall street that the parties now in
control of the Rock Island are being
backed by the First National Bank.
In fact, one or more officials of that
institution, including Vice President
Francis L. Hine, are represented in the
Rock Island directory. The First Ma
tional is one of the several so-called
Morgan banks
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are the fiscal rep
resentatives of practically all the Har-
riman properties, so that any deal be-
tween the Rock Island and the lead
ing Pacifics must inevitably involve a
closer understanding between what
have at times been somewhat hostile
interests

MORRIS TO BE JUDGE.
Expected Roosevelt VIII Appoint
Him to the New District.


Him to the New District.
Washington, Feb. Awhile no off,
cial announcement to the effect has
been made, it is reasonably certain that
Representative Page Morris of the Du-
luth district will be appointed by the
President to the additional United
States district judgeship recently Gre
ated in Minnesota by Congress. Rep
resentative Morris will retire from the
House at the close of the present ses-
sion. His colleagues in Congress have
united in recommending him to the
President for the appointment, and it
is understood that the appointment has
been decided upon.
Hubbard Bros. a. Co.'S Cotton Letter.
New York. Feb. 4.-Our market open
ed with sales of March at Sac. and
after selling at sic, ruled at $3.50 at
l y. m.
Notwithstanding the heavy movement
and the disappointing Liverpool our
market has shown a very strong tone
all day. Our local traders are very
bullish, believing the receipts are ONLY
the result of the active demand from
spinners last month.
The market has acted on the theory
that as the heavy receipts have failed
10 cause any weakness that this proves
that the strength of the position and
that the market will advance as soon as
this heavy movement is over On this
| basis there are no sellers, and the mar
ket advances quickly on any buying
There is less opposition to an advance
than at any time of late. A firm clos
ing is expected to bring higher mar
kets. Seldom has the temper been so
unanimously bullish.
The spot market was quiet, points
advance.

of the Ogeechee Canal. and other
points within close proximity to his
residence. and within the corporate
limits of the city, contrary TO the city
ordinance.
He alleges that the stencil and odor
was exceedingly offensive and pro-
duced and engendered serious sick
ness to himself and family He
AYERS that Immediately upon his
discovery of this violation, in
September, he protested against it
and notified personally the health Off
Ger, DR.. Drummer. He charges that the
nuisance continued and that he again
called upon DR.. Drummer and notified
him, and at the same time protested
against the nuisance to the director of
public works.
He alleges, too. that the nuisance
continued without abatement until
late in November and that during this
time both himself and wife became
sick, and otherwise impaired in health,
which caused him great mental and
physical pain and suffering, all of
which he has been assured was occa-
stoned very largely, if not entirely, by
this nuisance. The petitioner relates
that because of this Illness he Was

Arrests Of importance were few and
far between with the police yesterday,

was arrested by Court Sergeant P. J.

CATARRH

Often begins with a cold in the head,
but it never stops there. The tendency is
always from bad to worse. The simple
cold becomes protracted, stubborn one,
while the discharge from the nose grows
more profuse and offensive. The inflam-
nation extends to the throat and bron-
chial tubes, causing hoarseness, tickling
sensation and an aggravating cough.
