The Streets Of Peru.

The streets of Peru, especially on
gala days or when they wear the spe-
cial dress Of some celebration, are said
to be among the most picturesque in
the world. In their narrow proportions
they resemble somewhat the streets Of
China, and the variety and contrast of
the colors used in decoration may be
compared with the Chinese. There Is,
however, distinct Latin character to
the decoration, which lends them an
atmosphere entirely their own.

Tainted Meat Poisons Family of Seven.

Tainted Meat POisOns Family of Seven.
The eating of boiled ham very nearly
caused tragedy July Sd in the family
Of o. Skeviem on N.'Prairie street, and
made seven persons more or less sick.
Half a pound Of the meat had been
bought by Mrs. Skavlem just before din
ner, and every one except one OF those
who tasted it was taken sick less than
three hours afterwards. The members
of the family are Mr.. and Mrs. Skavlem,
the formers brother, Thor, and three
children, Rebecca, Mabel and John, and
with them for dinner were two of Mrs.
Skavem's brothers, Ed Anderson, OF
Chicago, and Ben, and his young son, of
Racine. The two brothers were taken
sick at the home of their mother, Mrs
Martha Anderson, where they had gone
after dinner, and about the same time
word was received from the Skavlem
home tina. Mrs. Skavlem had been taken
very sick. John. the young son, who is
one of the Hub carriers, had been down
town, but went home and dropped un-
conscious as he got into the house, and
as no pulse could be detected it was
thought for time that he was dead.
Drs. Chapman and Noer were hastily
summoned, however, and administered
emetics so that by evening the danger
was over, though the patients are yet
quite weak. OF the nine persons at the
table, only two escaped the sickness
Rebecca, the oldest daughter, who did
not taste the meat, and the other
daughter, Mabel, who scarcely tasted of
it. The poison was presumably ptomaine
which, of course, was not visible in the
ham, the meat having every appearance
of being perfectl. wholesome. Slough

ments against the Santa Fe railroad

on lime shipped from Arizona were the
basis for the jury's action.
Two indictments were returned

Cement company, one containing six
counts for accepting rebates from the
Santa Fe, the other containing seven
teen counts for accepting the conces-
sions.

Santa Fe contains sixty-six counts for

ment company in the shipment of
lime from Nelson. Arizona. to South
ern California points.

Described by Mr.. Stubs to the Interstate
Commerce Commission
Since the Consolidation Five Years Ago He Said
There Had Been No Relaxation of the Efforts of
Either to Get Business.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-The two attorneys
representing the government made de-
termined efforts today to induce the
two traffic managers of the transcon-
tincntal railroads to admit a concen-
tratiOn of ownership as a means of
sitting competition in railroad traffic.
The attorneys were Messrs. Sever
ance and Kellogg and the traffic man
ayers were J. c. Stubbs of the South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific systems
and ]. NJ. Hannaford of the Northern
Pacific. Both men contended that not
withstanding the consolidation of in
tcrest that had taken place between
the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific and between the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern. the COM
petition between the lines which are
under joint ownership is as sharp to-
day as it ever was.
Mr. Stubbs asserted from first to last
that the Union Pacific never had been
an active competitor of the Southern
Pacific on California business for the
reason that ii had no outlet beyond
ogden over its own rails, direct TO
California. Such competition. he said
as had existed between the two roads
in the past is still in existence. The
Union Pacific he claimed is but a link
in the transportation between the Mis-
souri, river and California and is not
a separate and independent line.
When asked if he did not believe
that a railroad which has a large sur
plus and is paying 10 per cent divi-
dends is nos in a position to favor
the public with lower rates. Mr.. Stubs
with considerable feeling said that he
would urge the members Of the inter-
state commerce commission and their
attorneys To remember that while the
Union Pacific ma be prosperous now,
the stockholders had experienced many
lean years" and that there was no
human guaranty that the present sat
isfactory conditions in railroad traffic
throughout the country would be in

definitely maintained. on the subject
of sitting competition Mr.. Stubbs de-
clared it was not reasonable for this
10 be done. no matter who owned the
parallel lines under consideration.
Subordinates with a reputation to
make or sustain would work for the
interest of their lines against all other
lines. and competition must therefore
inevitably follow. He asserted that ].
J. Hill. while probably the leading
raillOad man in the country. could not
abolish competition between the North
crn Pacific and the Great Northern
because Of the personal spirit of the
men he employed. Mr.. Hannaford ex-
pressed similar views regarding the
sitting Of competition. The only other
witness of the day was NJ. c. Mark
ham, traffic manager of the Missouri
Pacific.

DETAILED VIEWS OF MR. sIuses

Chicago. Jan. 81. G. Stubbs, trait
fic director of the Union and Southern
Pacific systems. was called as a wit
ness before the interstate commerce
commission today. Answering many
questions Mr.. Stubbs said that the
rates from Pittsburg To the Atlantic
coast thence via the Morgan steam
ship and the Southern Pacific to Cal
ifornia were the same as those via all
rail. but very little freight from Pitts
burg, Buffalo pr Wheeling ever went
that way.
Asked whether freight could not be
routed by his Chicago office either via
New orleans or Ogden. the witness
said that the line on which the traffic
originated dictated the route. He said
there was strong competition in Cih-
cago for Pacific coast business. He
was asked if Neimer. the Chicago
agent, vas a competitor for this busi-
ness.
He is"
