Special to The Journal.
New York, May 9.-The announces
ment that Canadian Pacific is to build
from Sudbury, Ont, to Toronto Is now
officially made. 1t has brought con-
sternation into Grand Trunk and Cam
adam Northern circles. It means that
the biggest Of the Canadian companies
is not going to sit idly by while Grand
Trunk invades the western prairie
country and while Mackenzie & Mann
parallel the best divisions Of Canadian
Pacific. It looks like reprisal and is
so considered in the best Informed cir
cles.
Hitherto, Canadian Pacific has had
a right OF way from North Bay to To-
ronto, and all transcontinental freight
billed to Toronto and points south, has
been diverted at North Bay to Grand
Trunk tracks and handled over them
about $50 miles to Toronto The
Canadian Pacific had no right to do
local business at points south of North
Bay, but the local business was not
and is not considered Of much i'm
portance any way.
500 Line solid trains and Canadian
Pacific solid trains have run thru over
this track for years. The arrange
ment was considered quite satisfactory
nate so suddenly. There has been
constant friction, however. But the
actual event that led Canadian Pacific
suddenly to resolve to use it's charter
rights in this territory was the passing
Of bill thru the Ontario house, CIV
ing subsidy to the James Bay rail-
road, at $4,000 a mile. This road
was recognized as a Canadian North
ern project. and it. was considered in
Canadian Pacific circles mere bluff
to call it the James Bay: Now a
| fight is inevitable unless one or the
other withdraws from the field. Can
adam Pacific has the reputation of
never drawing back once the directors
| determine upon a course. of action.
The notice to the crown lands depart
ment IS regarded as final proof that
| this system intends to build the line
and to build it right away. There is
little left for the Mackenzie Mann
people to do but to withdraw. There
| is no business for three lines.

pathize. Grand Trunk had rea'
grievance and has answered it by the

adequate cause for a, real fight over

The Streams Source.
SPRING FRESHETS AND SPRING FEVER.

TN the spring, it is said, we can always
look for fire, food and devastation.
u When we look at mighty river in
flood, carrying devastation with it,
we can hardly imagine its source in the
little, tiny brook on the mountain side,
starting with small stream and wend-
ing its way down hill and valley, gather
ing force, and volume until at last it
pours its mighty flood above its natural
banks and sweeps along, carrying ruin
to many peaceful households. What is
true in nature is also true of the human
body. We are now i'll that season in
which we feel languid. Only the lucky
are able to get off without spell of
fever. When all nature is putting on it's
beautiful dress, when the trees begin to
bud and all nature smiles, man is usually
in the midst of his woes and troubles
because the poisons have accumulated in
his body during the winter and the blood
stream endeavors to throw off this debris,
and in the process we are perhaps laid
on our backs with cold, possibly to be
followed with grip or pneumonia. The
breakdown, the feeling of fatigue, is
usually due to the lack of pure blood
needed to replenish the materials used
up. We have overfed during the winter,
usually under-exercised, confined in a
small room perhaps, breathing over and
over again bad air, with little oxygen,
our health balance is not kept up. We
feel worn out, played out, pale, and deep
circles under the eyes appear. Simple
attention to the laws of nature will
sometimes pull you through without
these annoying symptoms. The several
organs of the body which take care OF
the WORKOUT tissues, such as the kidneys,
bowels and liver get out of order with
out being noticed, and the poisonous
matters accommodating become an active
poison if they remain IN the blood. Poi.
sonous matters thrown back into the
blood cause headache, bowel Irregular.

ROUND DANCES DROPPED
The Nurses Objected to Walking witt
Insane Patients.

Nurses in the state insane hospitals
will no longer be required to dance waltzes
and two-steps with the patients. The
terpsichorean revels Of the demented in
mates will be limited to quadrilles, the
Virginia reel and the grand march.
The change is due to a protest of the
women nurses at the Fergus Falls hos
pital, who objected to dancing with in
sane men at such close quarters. The
hospital dances are held every Thursday
evening from 1880 to $3.50, and the pa
tients are not permitted to dance will
each other. The nurses pair off with
them, and are required to take an active
part in the festivities. They don't object
to square dances, but have compelled the
superintendent to recogniz their objection
to the waltzes.

WORST FLOODS in
TWENTY YEARS.
Over Forty Buildings in Low Ly.
ing Districts at Brandon
Under Water.
Banks of Assiniboine Lined With
Household Effects Citizens
Take to Roofs.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. L
Brandon, Man, May 9.-Not in
twenty years has the Assiniboine been
as high as now. 1t rose over three
steadily and rapidly. Already over
forty buildings are under water, as
we'll as all slaughter-hou and barns
in the low-lying districts Of the city.
The roadways on First and Eigh-
teenth streets leading to the north side
of the river are under water, and fears
are entertained that the bridges on
both highways will be washed away.
Men employed by the city are on both
bridges keeping the piers clear of
driftwood.
Three Of the leading butchers have
feeding barns on the flats, and the
buildings are under water almost to
their roofs. Knight & Fairar had
fifty hogs and fifteen sheep washed
away. Burchell & Howey succeeded in
liberating their imprisoned stock,
while James Donaldson has about $50
hogs and sheep in the loft of his barn.
They are safe as long as the barn
stands, but the water is running at a
terrific rate and the building may be
lifted from it's foundations at any
time.
Galicians Driven Out.
All residents, principally sGalicians,
living IN what was cOnSldered the dan-
ger zone, were moved out Of their
houses, but the water rose higher and
early to-day others had to make hasty
retreats. The banks Of the river are
lined with household goods. In some
instances everything had to be left
and some citizens had to take to the
roofs Of their dwellings and there
| dress.
Across the dam Of the Assiniboine,
known as the Syne, are small bridges
leading to an isle in midstream. These
have been washed away, and also all
small structures on this side.
| No Fire Protection.
| The railway bridge, is SO weakened
that trains cannot cross. Tn Hamburg
near saw mill were piled huge heaps
Of slabs. These have all been washed
away, as has the summers supply Of
wood gathered by the poor foreigners
who lived on the flats.
Many old settlers predict that the
worst is not yet. Hundreds along the
bank Of the river are watching the
rapid rise of the water, which has
risen so high that the waterworks
pumphouse is out of business and the
city Is without fire protection.

A farmer came to town yester-
day to make some purchases. He
went into a drug store, picked out
a purse and asked the price OF
it. He was told thirty-fve cents.
The would-be purchaser told the
clerk that he could get the same
kind of a purse out at the coun-
try store for twenty cents, but
that he would not bu y it because
he did not like the owner OF the
place. The clerk told him that
he was sorry, but that the best he
could do was thirtY-tive cents.
Looking critically at the clerk the
farmer said, "The Lord loveth a
