HEAR RAIL MERGER
CASE IN OCTOBER
GOVERNMENT IS AFTER SOUTH
ERIN AND UNION PACIFICS.
ST. PAUL JUDGES WILL SELECT
DEFINITE DATE AND PLACE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
The hearing of the government case for
the dissolution of the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific railroads will take
place probably about October 1. The Sc
lection of a definite date and place will
be made by the judges of the eighth cir
cult at st. Paul, Nina, i'll May.
&. A. Severance has represented the
government in the preparation Of the
case, which is a proceeding to dissolve
the merger of the Southern Pacific and
the Union Pacific railroads on the ground
that it was a violation of the Sherman
antitrust act. Suit for dissolution was
filed in the circuit court at Salt Lake
City.
The positive announcement Of the de-
termination to fix a time for the hearing
of the case. apparently disposes of re-
ports which have been revealed frequent
~ that the government had decided to
abandon the proceeding against the two
railroads
Unofficially, the suggestion has been
made that the circuit court possibly had

suit. the expectation is that the argu-
ments will be heard there.

500 OFFICIALS SILENT
REFUSE TO CONFIRM REPORTS OF
DIVISION CHANGES.
Transfer of Headquarters from Abbots-
ford to Spencer or Mansfield Is
Believed to Be Planned

WAUSAU, Wis, April 27-[ Special. !
1t is reported here that Abbotsford is
to be abandoned as a division point for
the main line of the 500 on the Ashland
division and that all of the extensive
holdings of the company there are to be
transferred to Spencer. The company
has already started work on a cutoff
from Spencer TO Owen, which will
shorten the distance between Chicago
and the Twin cities materially
President Pennington of the 500 line
is quoted as saying that the distance be-
tween Chicago and Minneapolis would
be materially lessened In short time
and that many of the heavy grades and
round about routes would be eliminated.
Those in Wausau who are familiar
with the location of the road and the
towns through which it passes, are of
the opinion that the division point, if
removed from Abbotsford, will be located
at Marshtield. Several arguments in
support of this belief are advanced and
the logical conclusion is that Marshfied
would probably be the place selected
The company is reported to be buying
property in Unity and in other towns
in the western bart of Marathon county,
but the officials are silent as to what
the future plans of the company are.

TAGGART WINS POINT.
Indiana Democratic Candidate for Sem
ate Has Overwhelming Victory in
Marion County Primary.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 26--
The overwhelming victory won by Thorn
as Taggart and his friends Monday night
in the primaries in this city and Marion
county for the selection of delegates to
the Democratic state convention, which
opens tomorrow night, added strength to
the movement proposed by Taggart for a
statewide primary to choose d candidate
for the United States Senate.
The 1873 delegates from Marion coun-
ty will vote as unit in the convention
for a statewide primary. Some of the
candidates for United States senator op-
pose the primary election plan on the
ground it would cost about $4,000, and
this divided among the candidates would
fall heavily on a few men.
Many of the candidates for places on
the state ticket decried the plan of Gov.
Marshall to have the convention endorse
a candidate for the Senate, fearing that
1t would cause such fight in the con-
vention that the success of the ticket
would be endangered at the. November
election. .

DELAWARE TRAPPERS' PROFITS.
One Fur Dealer Bought More Than 10000

The fur season, which draws to a

Bombay Hook island has been a lively
place the last winter and trapping
marshes have been much in demand.
Some idea of what the industry has
meant to Bombay Hook can be under
stood by the figures of j Wesley Jones,
Smyrnas prominent fur dealer. Dur
ing the last season he has bought over
$4,000 muSkrat hides and has paid the
trapperS over $4,000.
The largest trapper' ON Bombay Hook
island is Jim HoffeclIer, who has deliv-
cred 1900 hides frOm his marsh. James
Liner is a close second with 1000 hides
and PRESLEY GoldsbOroAgh has record
Of considerably over q thousand hides.
The market on hides has been strong
and steady, around 90 cents for several
months.

Bread is made from many other grains

its main ingredient. Peas, beans and

cake is only an unfermented bread made
from tapioca. On the same list, too
