REASONABLE WORDS TO REA-
SONABLE PEOPLE.

There are SO many remedies at this
time there being offered the public
through advertising and otherwise
that; one is sometimes at loss to
know which to select. Some of these
remedies are claimed to be old and
imposing secret prescriptions. Cures
are in some instances claimed to have
been effected without the use of med
icine. Some pretended Good Samari-
tans' are making an effort to persuade
the public that out of great love and a
heartfelt interest in the welfare of the
people, that they (the Good Samari-
tans) are paying, out large sums for
valuable advertising space, only to
give medicine away "absolutely free!
Another method is to send out sam
pies. This latter method is usually re-
sorted to only in instances where the
| medicine is exceptionally strong or
contains some opiate, or other danger
Gus drug, to force Immediate effects
though really harmful. The most re-
liable remedy for weakness, catarrh
rheumatism, for the blood, nerves
stomach and for liver disorders, is
Push-kuro. The price of Push-kurc
is 81 per bottle. 1t can be had at your

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Feb. 9.-The Hill and Harri-
man interests are holding a confer
ence in New York city which probably
will result in an agreement between
them covering the traffic of the entire
northwest. The meeting between the
two interests has been arranged so
quietly that no public mention has
been made of the fact that Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Hartman were even consid-
ering the advisability of joining inter
ests in their vast territory. The con-
ference is being attended by the presi-
dents Of the Hill lines, the vice presi-
dents in charge of traffic and opera
ton and by the corresponding Officials
of the Hartman lines. Darius Miller,
vice president of the Burlington and
the man in charge of the traffic for all
Hill lines; Howard Elliot, president of
the Northern Pacific; J. G. Stubs,
traffic director, and Ben Campbell, as
sistant traffic director of the Hartman
lines, together with other officials;
went to New York yesterday on the
Twentieth Century Limited. One OF
the officials said:
1.-The Hill and Hartman lines have
a great deal in common in the north
west and mutual interests demands
that they work in harmony. In gen.
eral way desirable trackage arrange
ments will be discussed; the effect OF
the war between Japan and Russia
on Oriental traffic will be talked over;
pending railroad legislation in the
northwestern states will be discussed;
rates will be discussed and matters OF
| interest talked off, ...
From other sources it was learned
that an agreement with regard to ter
ritory is probable which will prevent
either interest from constructing lines
| into territory already served by the
other. This agreement will probably

the limits of the future extensions OF
both will probably be strictly defined
