WAR IN THE BALKANS.

Germans Believe Turkey and Bulgaria
Will Fight.
Berlin, Feb. 24.-The conviction of
the German government that war be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey is within
measurable possibility increases. The
war in the Far East, it is asserted, has
changed the temper of the Turks from
acquiesence in the reform plans of the
powers for Macedonia to positive in
tractability. The Bulgarian govern
ment, four days after the outbreak of
the war, placed an order with Loewe
& Co., the Mauser rifle and cartridge
makers of Berlin, which order was
doubled Friday last. .Loewe & Co., as
usual with the German arms makers,
notified the German government.

GRAND WIFE
The Kind Worth Having.

A well-known lady Of Carthage,
Mo-, says: although I do not drink
tea nor coffee myself have had a
most interesting experience in my
family for about year ago my hus-
band began to fail in health. He
would get so very nervous at times
he would have to give up his work and
come home. His eyes were failing him
and the doctor became alarmed--was
afraid he was going to lose his sight,
He also got very yellow in complexion,
at times his blood ran cold, from nerv-
Gus chills the doctor said.
I'm a few days he would return to
work still in that dull, chilly condi-
ton. He would drink coffee, coffee,
coffee, for a stimulant' he would say
Gas he drank no liquor.)
His condition gradually got worse
instead of better until finally I made
up my mind coffee had something to
do with it so I bought package of
Postum without telling him, and made
1t according to directions. He drank
It and seemed to like it so I continued
to make it and before the first package
was gone he began to get so clear of
complexion and feel SO we'll, gaining
fast in flesh, he was so delighted he
would get weighed every day.
Finally he talked so much about
1t Che had gained 10 pounds in 10
days) I could not keep the secret any
longer and told him to give Postum
the credit. The consequences are
there has been no more coffee in the
house since (and no doctor either.)
Postum is delightful drink made
according to directions, I have found
no better way as it is, a rich COLDER
brown when cream is added.
II forgot to say my husbands eye:
are as strong as they ever were, he i:
we'll and hearty, does not sit around

ard to the free untrammeled breezes
of his new musical thought. =.
In his Minneapolis recital next
month, a group Of the finest of the
Strauss songs will be interpreted by
Nine. Pauline Strauss de Alma, the
celebrated wife of the famous COM
poser and conductor, who is an ex-
ceedinglys artistic singer, and who
brings to her Interpretation of
her husbands songs a rarely sympa-
thetic. Intelligence. Indeed the Strauss
recitals turnout the east have at
tracted crowds of the musical and
cultured and have inspired the keen
est and most exhaustive comment
from the musical critics of the lead
ing papers. The presentation Of
"Enoch Arden" will also contribute to
the intense interest which the Strauss
engagement is exciting.
The coming of DR.. Strauss to Min
neapolis will be the first visit here of
an eminent composer for many years,
and it is an honor greatly to be ap-
preciated. His musical genius is so
catholic in, character that it, covers
almost the entire field of musical COM
| position-scongs, tone poems, over
lures, operas, and the end is not yet.

Special to The Journal. -. 1871
Winnipeg, Man, March 23.-A dis
patch received from Montreal. last
night stated that William Whyte of
Winnipeg, second vice president of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, had
been offered the management of the
Trans-Siberian railway by the Russian
government. On being asked if there
was any truth in the statement, Mr..
Whyte said that there was not any
foundation for anything like it. The
whole story was a fabrication. He
had never been offered any such posi-
ton nor had he been in communica-
ton with the Russian government
about the matter.
Mr.. Whyte knows the Trans-Sibe-
rian railway very we'll, having trav-
eled all over the line some time ago
and in speaking about the railway
said while there was a prospect OF
some ones making a name for him.
self in developing it, he would not
care to have anything to do with il
while the Russians had control of the
line. He was afraid there was more
honor and glory in the position thar
anything else, and from straight
business point of view, he would hard
ly have been expected to accept 1t
even presuming it had been offered tt
him. 49,. r. --..- --..

waiting 1t.

Chicago, March 23.-Reports indi-
cate that the Rock Island will build
to the coast This is shown by surveys
which portend new extension from
either Benson or Douglas, on the line
of the Ell Paso & Northeastern, road,
to San Diego, Cal. From San Diego
the news comes that the promoters OF
the local enterprise seeking for d.
rect outlet to the east from that city
are working in the interest Of the
Rock Island.
Ever since the Moore-Leeds-Reid
syndicate obtained control of the Rock
Island system it has been their ex-
pressed ambition to establish a trans
continental line. The Rock Island now
extends to Ell Paso and has a subsid-
larry line from Ell Paso, via Douglas, to
Benson on the main line Of the South
ern Pacific. The proposed line from
Douglas to San Diego would run
thru a region that offers few diff
culties in the way Of railroad con-
struction. The extension would open
to traffic a. large and productive re-
gion.
