TURNS DEAF EAR.
Commission Will Not Reopen Missouri
River Case.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The Chicago Assoc
citation of Commerce has made a futile
effort to induce the interstate COM
merce commission to grant rehear-
ing in the Missouri river rate case. H.
c. Barlow, managing director of the
associations, and the members of the
freight committee of that organization
went to Cedar Rapids on Saturday to
see Commissioner E. E. Clark and get
him to explain the commissions de-
cision in the case. The opinion was
written by Commissioner Clark. The
merchants committee explained to the
commission that if the DECISIONS car
ried out Chicago will lose millions of
dollars in trade annually west of the
Missouri river They protested that
Chicago should be relieved and that
the commission should consent to a
rehearing of the case. The commits
sioner said the case had been thor
ouehIy heard that evidence had been
taken in various cities and all interests
were heard at length. He was there
fore of the opinion that rehearing
would result in a reaffirmance of the
decision.
1t is understood Commissioner Clark
advised the committee to appeal to the
courts or to Join the railroads in doing
80 and let them determine whether the
principles of rate making laid down in
the decision are correct.

thereby decreasing its earnings IS per
cent.
The failure of the International and
Great Northern road is explained by its
owners as due to the fact that the Texas
railway commission ordered the company
to make betterments amounting to be-
tween 100000 and 100000 at a time
when the earnings were being lessened
by $500, 600 or S4O0. 900 month.
The other roads of the system except
the Wabash. have been in a more or less
bad financial condition for some time. The
Missouri Pacific. 1t is said, is in such bad
physical shape that railroad experts have
stated that the entire system should be
rebuilt from end to end.
1t was thought for some time that the
wizard of railway finance. Z. H Harri-
mon. would obtain control of the entire
Gould system and first reports upon Mr..
Gould's arrival in America were to the eff
feet that he willing to make an alli-
ance with Mr.. Hartman, but since he
raised the necessary funds to relieve the
Wabash from any financial trouble, due
to its having been on the notes of other
Gould lines, it is thought that Hartman,
although a director. will not dominate the
Gould system. for the present. at least.

FIND LOCKJAW CURE.
solution of Magnesium SuIphate In.
jected Into the Spine.

Pittsburg, Aug. 5.-The Magee An
mex, also known as the Pasteur Insti-
tute, attached to the Mercy hospital
of Pittsburg, comes to the fore with
what it claims is the first real cure for
tetanus, or lockjaw Magnesium sui
phate injected into the spinal column
is said to have effected the cure.
This evening Harry Gilbert, fourteen
years of age, was discharged from the
Pasteur annex as well. His was one
of the most severe cases to come I'M
der the notice of local physicians. and
the new cure was watched with great
interest.
The boy was hurt with a toy pistol
on July 4, and on July Is was carried
to the hospital in commissions. Injec-
lions of a 5 per cent solution of mag
nesium sulphate was started and grad
ually increased to Is per cent BY de-
grees the body of the boy. which had
become rigid, resting only on the back
of his head and his heels. began to re-
lax. Antitoxin, too. was used in good
quantities to assist in the work of re-
Taxing the muscles. All the hospital
physicians assert that there was nc
hope of anti-toxin saving the boys life
so far had the disease progressed be-
fore he was treated. The treatment
lasted II days before the muscles OF
the body became once more plant
and the last nine days have been spent
by physicians in examining the boy
to see that his condition is what it was
claimed by the Mercy hospital physi-
clans.
Bellevue hospital. New York. has
been greatly interested in the case OF
young Gilbert. 1t is said by the Mercy
hospital people that for some days
there has been one of the Bellevue
staff here watching the case. Belle,
vue, it is said, has lost three cases OF
tetanus similar to that of young Gill
bert since July 4.

One of the strangest features of their
romantic separation is that for three
years. the brothers lived within six
miles of each other, with no thought
OF their relation.
The story of their separation dates
back to the beginning of the civil war.
At that time, George Goens was but a
child. His father, after two years SER
vice, was captured and taken to Libby
prison. The hard conditions there soon
overcame the elder Goens and he died
in prison.
About the time of the fathers enlist

older sister. Here John Goens was
born. The mother and child lived some
time in Colorado and then returned to

they moved to Osborne county.
About the same time George Goens
bought a quarter section just across
the line in Russell county. The same
railway station. Lucas, was used by
both brothers to reach the city from
their farms.
George Goens came here about two
years ago and has since been employed
by the Leavenworth. Kansas & West
ern railway. Another brother, Mat
thew Goens, also resides here. Last
week. John Goens saw his brothers
name in The Times and Immediately
wrote a letter. This resulted in the
happy meeting yesterday.

Evidence.

New York, Aug. 5.-From time to

are being made to secure control of

ports have received fresh attention,
and, although they have obtained no
encouragement from statements made
by the Hill interests. he is believed to
have purchased stock sufficient to con-
troll the road.
In view of the growth in recent
years Of the traffic from the north and
northwest to the ports OF export on
the Gulf Of Mexico. it is believed that
the managers of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific properties have
had In view the possibility of obtain

OF these four are already in the hands
of a receiver. This is due to an unprece-
dented series of circumstances which have
placed the Gould system in financial
straits. The Western Maryland was the
first of the lines to go into the hands of a
receiver, due, it is said. to the restric-
tions of the commodity clause of the Hep
burn act. which makes it unlawful for a
railroad to own coal mines and transport
its own products. AS the Western Mary
lands principal tonnage was derived from
it's coal properties the uncertainty as to
its future terminated in the receivership.
