ment for low rates by the courts in dis
solving the iniunctions issued against
the brokers and thereby relieving them
from all interference in the prosecution
OF their business so far as the law Is
concerned.
To remove the evil effects of this de-
cision of the courts the Manufacturers
Association has undertaken to have a
special session of the Missouri legiSla-
ture called, if necessary, and such leg
islation enacted as will fully protect the
roads against any loss from the doings
of the scalDers. The roads seem dispos-
ed TO go slow in the matter. They are
not enthusiastically in favor of low
rates, even if the brokers were out of
the way. They expect their equipment
will be taxed to the utmost in any case
in taking care of the travel during the
period the fair is open, and they do not
see why they should be called upon to
cut their rates in two under such cir
cumstances.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Sunday Excursions to Big Cities
to Be Abolished.
Railroads Say There Is Nothing
in 1t Financially.
PASSENGERS DRUNK.
Will Probably Mean No More
Kansas City Rates.
Santa Fe Is Opposing the Sun
day Pleasure Trips.

In the opinion of the majority of pas
senger officials of western roads, the
Sunday excursion should be abolished
as soon as the conditions will permit.
Several Of the more influential passenger
men are working up sentiment against
these excursions into Chicago. and they
are being assisted by clergymen and the
religious press.
The railroad men admit they are not
actuated by religious scruples, but pro-
fess to be convinced that this .cIass of
business is undesirable in more ways
than one. Unlike Sunday excursions
that are run out of big cities to summer
resorts. the excursions to large cities
are productive of no particular benefit
either to the roads or the people who
take advantage of the reduced rates.
The country merchants have for some
time past entered an emphatic protest
against these excursions, on the ground
that their business was being interfered
with. The railroads have been in the
habit of making the excursion rates eff
fective from Saturday to Monday, and
Al is claimed that many take advantage
of the reduced rates to transact bust
ness instead of seeking pleasure.
The trains returning from the cities,
as a rule however. seem to be filled
with DeO-le who have devoted most of
their time in the city to visits to sa-
looms Train hands are frequently
called upon to quell disturbances, and
the authorities of many towns COM
plain that the peace of their citizens
Is disturbed by those who take adj
vantage of the excursion rates.
For some lime past the Santa Fe has
been endeavOring to abolish Sunday
excursions on its line. and this rule
has been enforced except where COM
petition comDels them to meet rates
Passenger officials are in receipt of
communications from clergymen and
editors of religious papers, commenting
them for their attitude, and urging
them to continue it. The Northwestern
is disseminating Sunday excursions as
far as possible. although no official an
nouncement has been made to this
effect. and several other roads are do
ing the same.
From the standpoint of revenue. the
excursions are unproductive, and the
roads take the position that it is far
better to earn the good will of the coun-
try merchants and regular patrons by
the practice. 1t is prob
a BILE passenger officials of the western
lines will confer on this subject in the
near future, with a view to reaching
an understanding. With one or two ex-
ceptions, the officials are of the same
mind, and it is believed it VIII not re
quire much argument to convince all
that low rates for Sunday excursions
are both Improbable and a source of

renee. and the other by the young
man himself. The actions have been
brought against the Santa Fe railway
company in the district court in FL
Paso. The allegations in both petit
tionS are the same. The son wants
the sum of $4,000 for the loss of his
feet. and the father asks for 1880 for
expenses incurred in taking care of
his boy after the accident.
Lawrence Wilmington, at the time
of the accident. was 10 years of age.
He alleges that he was riding on one
of defendants trains which was going
at rapid rate of speed, when he was
compelled bV the trainmen to jump
off the car. Wilmington says he was
thrown under the wheels and his legs
and feet so crushed that amputation
was necessary. Prior to the accident
Whittin@ton says he was a strong and
ablebodied man, capable of earning a
good living. but now he is utterly in
capacitated from following his usual
vacations. As a ground of action the
petitioners allege that the trainmen
had no right to order plaintiff off the
train when it was going at such a
speed. Scott & Bielsford and Edwards
& Edwards appear as attorneys in
both cases.

WHAT A FIX!
Express Companies May Withdraw
Entirely from State of Texas.

Austin. Sept. LIT is reported on
what is deemed good authority the four
express companies now operating on
Texas railroads are considering the
matter of withdrawing entirely from
Texas and that such action has been
practically decided upon.
1t is asserted that the new tariff of
express rates promulgated by the rail-
road commission. being a reduction of
10 per cent as compared with existing
rates, would oblitsrate nearly all the
profits now obtained by the express
companies on their Texas business and
that there is no inducement for them
to continue to operate on Texas roads.
The companies affected are Wells
Fargo, the Pacific, the United States
and the American.
According to the report current here
the notice of their proposed withdrawal
from Texas will be issued in a few
DAVIS.

CURES CATARRH
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure
for Catarrh Ever Discovered" Says
Geo. w. Stansfield.

Do not try to cure catarrh by TAX
ing drugs into the stomach; it cannot
be cured in that manner. The only
can be cured is through a direct app1i-
cation that will kill the bacilli of ca
tarrh and prevent their growth
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this. 1t
is the simplest, most pleasant, and the
only absolute cure for catarrh that has
ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
malls have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent physicians
have given strong testimonials as to the
remarkable powers of Hyomei to cure
catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, consisting of an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect a cure in ordin-
airy cases, but for chronic and deep
seated cases of catarrh, longer use may
be necessary, and then extra bottles of
Hyonlei can be obtained for soc. 1t is
not alone the best lit might be called
the only) method of curing catarrh,
but it is also the most economical.
Geo. w Stansfield has so much con-
fiedence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that he will for limited
time, sell this medicine under his per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money if
the purchasers can say that it did not
help them.

AS GUEST OF HONOR.
President Roosevelt Attends
Dinner at Seawanhaka Club.

Oyster Bay NY, Sept. 19.-Presidenr
Roosevelt was the guest of honor last
night at the annual dinner of the Sea-
wanhaka- Corinthian Yacht club at its
handsome and spacious home on Center
island in Oyster Bay. Many men promi-
-nently identified with yachting in the
east were present and the dinner was
a handsome and delightful affair. An
invitation was sent to Sir Thomas Lip
ton, but he was unable to accept on ac-
count of illness and because of his en-
gagement in the west.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
president was among friends and fellow
club members, precautions were taken
to insure his personal safety.
Two secret service officers remained
near him and additional precautions
were taken by the club itself.

SOU THERN SECURITIES co"
May Be Formed to Include Santa Fe
Rock Island and s. P.

There has been revival of the state
ment lately that if the Northern Sc
curities company is sustained by the
United States supreme court similar
organization. to be known as the
Southern Securities company is to be
formed. This company. it is said, will
take in three of the principal roads en-
tering the southwestern territory.
These three roads are the Rock Island,
Southern Pacific. and Atchison, Topeka
& Santa >ee.
Little credence is placed in the story
by Chicago railway officials. While a
combination between the Rock Island
and Atchison is considered possible, it
is not believed Hartman would be
willing to separate the Southern Pa
cific from the rest of the Hartman
system and put it into a combine with
the Rock Island and Santa Fe.

RAILROAD SUES A NEGRO.
Claimed Negro Editor Sent Out
Libellous Postal Cards.


The Southern Pacific company has
filed a suit at Austin that is decidedly
out of the ordinary. L. L. Campbell
editor of the negro paper, is defendant,
and the company alleges that it has
suffered loss of business to the amount
of $4,000 by reason of postal card sent
out broadcast by him, in which it is
alleged he made an allegation that there
is a proba bility of yellow fever in New
Orleans and that people will be quar-
antined for two months and have to re-
turn via another line" 1t was also sta
ted on the postal that negroes are fur
nished small compartments on the trains
of all roads except one, and on that we
and our ladies suffer all kinds of in
dignities."
The road alleges that there has been
a great effort recently for negro bust
ness, destined to the National Baptist con-
vention at Philadelphia, and that the
said postal card has done great injury
in persuading negroes to patfonizez other
lines for this occasion, through fear of
quarantine and fever and the alleged in
dignitieS.
