MORGAN IS
INVADING CANADA
May Take Charge Of Ca n q "a
Southern or Build a Big
New Road.

Ottawa, Jan. 2S.-J. p. Morgan is
expected to make to the Canadian gov
ernment, at the coming session, the
most astounding proposal yet made by
an American to the Canadians. Now
that the chief obstacle (the Alaskan
boundary dispute) is out of the way,
the American King of finance is expect
ed to offer to take charge of the Can
ada Southern railroads business for
her. The project may include secur-
tiles company to take charge of the
present funded debt Of the Canadian
Pacific road.
As an alternative, Canadian officials
have reason to expect that Morgan will
offer to finance the construction of a
new line to run clear across Canada,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The American railway interests are
regarded as casting an anchor to wind
ward so as to be ready for the ex-
pected seizure of the British wheat
market by the Canadian wheat grow
ers of Manitoba, British Columbia and
the northwest territory. The Grand
Trunk line is after an enormous money
subsidy for the purpose of having an
other rans-continental railroad built
"to open up Canadian wheat fields"
J. P. Morgan has promised to come
here to see the Canadian officials and
may make a public statement of what
he, with ]. ]. Hill, intends to do in
this matter.
The proposed line will require 10
years in the building and will cost ap-
proximately s1O0,0OO,O00 Advocates of
the new road assert that they can
make startling revelation of venality
in Canadian Pacific camps and an eX-
posure of questionable methods by
which the old Canadian Pacific gang
controlled affairs in securing sub
sidy.

last night.

relative to the wreck
There was no excuse for the wreck.
Engineer W. .. Davis, of the Phila.
delphia flyer ran past his signals
which were set against him. This is
shown conclusively because the sig
nails are still set and will remain set
until the track has been cleared This
shows that they were working properly
and that Davis and no one else is re-
sponsible. Davis was a new man and
was running extra. He usually too,

Davis is mortally hurt and it may
never be known why he sent the flyer

post and was picked up afterwards
with both legs cut off.
He was alive and was carried TO a
house near by. Those who bore him
away on the stretcher say that he NUT

the block signal but expected every
moment to see it turn white then be-

Columbiana County Playing Old
Game in Senatorial
Fight.
EFFORT TO BAR OUTSIDE CANDIDATES
tstar Correspondent)

Columbus. Jan. 2S.-The feeling is
becoming prevalent that Columbiana
county is playing little game of pol
itics in the district senatorial fight
This view is prompted by the fact Of
the county executive committee decld-
ing upon such an early date for the
closing of the entries of candidates.
All names must be filed with the sec
retary of the committee. together with
fee Of SIS for each name, by 12
o'clock, noon, this coming Saturday.
Candidates not qualifying by that time
will not be given place on the ticket.
In fixing the time for entries so ear
ly, the committe is charged with talk
ing snap judgment, the object being
to discourage outside candidates froIa
entering the race. However, il these
candidates act promptly they can frus-
trate the designs of the committee. II
is understood the committee has taken
pains not to notify outside candidates
of the time limit, hoping the date
would slip by unnoticed by them.
which would shut them out from the
northern county entirely.
Charles c. Connell, of Lisbon, is the
secretary of the committee, and all
names and assessments must be filed
with him.
If the senatorial candidates of Bel
mont, Harrison and Jefferson counties,
do not propose to allow the matter to
go by default, it is incumbent upon
them to act at once. 1t ia believed
10 be an absolute certainty that Connell
cannot control the county If he has
any opposition.

DOCTORS PUZZLED
Straags Case Of Edith johnson

Eas' Liverpool, Jan. 27-The strang-
ost case ever brought to the attention
OF medical men in Columbiana county

cd a physician, who found the girls
heart still beating. She appeared in
an unconscious condition.
Many physicians have examined the
girl, but none has been able to awaken
her. Every remedy known to the med
ical profession has been used without
effect. The girls feet and face have
been nearly frozen with ice placed
about them. When amonia or strong
smelling salts are held to her nose she
does not appear to be at all affected.
Pins stuck into her flesh do not cause
ner to move.
This Is the second time Miss John

months ago she went to bed and could
not be awakened the following morning
After three days Of the hardest kind of

South Omaha. March 4.-Clay Rob-

report as follows regarding the mar
ket: The cattle market opened this
week with a very light run, and the
trading was active at figures anywhere
from strong to 10 cents higher than the
close of last week. The quality of the
offerings is averaging better, as most
of the cattle have now been fed up
wards of four months. The packers are
commencing to discriminate against the
extremely heavy cattle, and the light
and medium classes show the most
advance. In butcher stock the good to
choice COWS are bringing strong prices,
while the common and canned grades
meet with a poor request at barely
steady figures. Warmedup steers con-
.inue to be sought for feeders. as the
western supply is light. and there is
an increasing inquiry for feeding cat
tie, with prices ruling strong.
The receipts of hogs We're the lightest
since last October, and with favorable
reports from other points. the trading
was brisk at 10 cent advance. The
bulk of hogs sold Tuesday at $685. to
St.Oo, WIFI IL lOp Oh Si.l152. llilS du-
vance places the market about as high
as any time this year. and prospects
are good for the future.
The sheep market suffered a sharp
decline the latter part of last week,
but today with only a fair supply on
sale this break was quickly overcome
the advance amounting to 10 to 20
cents from last weeks close. There is
q good strong demand for good muttons
and lambs, and the situation is very
strong one. The general character of
the offerings has not changed, and with
this strong demand the half fat kinds
continue to sell at satisfactory prices.
Whenever root grating is used in the
winter the plants should not be set out
in the spring unless the gratis have
grown together.
