General Superintendent Tyler Cf the
Iron Mountain, before leaving with
the party Wednesday night, Sent a tel
egram to superintendent G. X. Morley
at McGehee, instructins him to inves-
tigate the reports that the people of
fallulah La, are suffering for food.
If the reports are true he asked Mr..
Morley to report at once as to the best
means to be taken for their relief.
Reports have reached headquarters
as to the trouble of 25 members of the
PiggOtt company who were put off a
train near Paragould Tuesday morn
ing because they did net have trans
portation. The guards were en- route
to McGehee. and had not received
their tickets before the arrival of the
train. The conductor stopped the train
and compelled the guardsmen to get
off. They had to wait for the next
train, their tickets having reached
them in the meantime Fortunately
no delay was caused by the occur
renee, as the militiamen would not
have caught their train at Pine Bluff
had they been allowed to procee
without tickets.
Two guards were also put off the
train near Piggott a few days ago.
The two guards had been working on
the train between Maiden, Mo-, and
st. Francis. They worked the train
back south toward St. Francis in Or
Ger not to delay the train at st. Fran
els, at the state line. The guards
were going north from Piggott in or
der to begin work out of Maiden when
the train auditor ordered them to
either pay their fare or get off. They
chose the latter Hereafter trains
will be stopped at St. Francis until the
guards have examined all certificates.

as was the case in 1878, the total of
cases has been far less than during
August.
The country situation shows no ma
terial change. The emergency fund
OF the state board of health has been
exhausted, and now the expenditures
which are being made come from the
special fund borrowed by the governor
originally to relieve the situation in
New Orleans. Where communities
are in need of assistance for the oper-

ONE STEP NEARER.
Chicago Gains a Point in Municipal
Ownership Struggle.

Chicago, May 8.-The city scored a
victory in traction litigation today,
bringing municipal ownership a step
nearer. Judge Grosscup, Of the federal
district court. denied a motion on be-
half of the Union Traction company to
enjoin the city from interfering with
the use of the so-called Adams street
line of the old Chicago Passenger Rail
way company. Judge Grosscup said
that he had withheld the decision for
a time, believing it would hinder rather
than help negotiations for an agreement
between the city and the traction inter-
ests, but that as soon as he was Off
cially informed negotiations had been
baked he framed his decision. The
court holds that the franchise of the
Chicago Passenger Railway company
expired in April, 1904 With the way
cleared by today's decision it is the in
tention of the city administration to
use the Adams street line as a begin
ming for municipal ownership street
