TWO RAILROADS III

A BITTER CONTEST iFight Being Waged on the Rails and Not in Wall Street, as Usual. ... . (Palladium Special.) OMAHA, April 25. Tho old rivalry between the Hill and Harriman ralljroad systems between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast has broken tut afresh and Harriman's Southern Pacific has just dealt Hill's Burlington line a staggering blow by cutting 'the latter line off from all San Fran'cisco and California traffic. Conditions !are such that neither the Interstate Commerce Commission for the Fed'eral Courts can interfere in the fight and from appearances the rival lines will be permitted to settle the affair 'In their own way. And this time the fight is being waged on the rails, not In the stock market. The entire transMlssisslppl country Is the battle field Instead of the narrow confines of Wall bnd Broad streets. Despite the fact that this Is the tnost titantic struggle the western railroad world has known for 25 years, It is being waged bo silently that the public is scarcely aware that the big rivals are no longer standing together and working harmoniously, as they have done in the past decade. The cause of the fight is the ownership of la simple $2.50 on each ticket sold by the eastern lines to the Pacific coast, but tho effect produced is tremendous. And still greater effects are promised by the generals in command of the campaign. Hill Has An Ally. The situation is complicated by the fact that Hill, in the fight, has the assistance of the big Rock Island railroad, which is in a position similar to Burlington, while Western Pacific, the new Gould road to the Pacific, ia aldinp Southern Pacific. Union Pacific main trunk of the Harriman system, is, In the present fracas only a "looker on" and a bystander, and is taking jdo part In the struggle. However, the Jattcr road is reaping a golden harvest while the other lines "scrap" among themselves. In fact, because of the big fight, Union Pacific today Is the only railroad operating through trains between Chicago and St. Louis and San Francisco which traverse tho central portion of the country. The trouble began brewing a year ago when the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered Southern Pacific and other roada to reduce fare from Ogden to the Taciflc coast from $30 to $25, but did not order a reduction of the through fare from Missouri river points to the coast. At that time, and for years previous thereto, through cars had been operated over the Burlington and Rock Island lines as far aa Denver, thence over Rio Uranade to Ogden," where they were turned over to Southern Facile for the haul to the coast. At that time the roads east and west of Ogden simply cut the Bate In two parts, each taking an equal portion. When the Interstate Commerce Commission's new rate was ordered. Southern Pacific demanded that the eastern lines continue to accept the same proportion as formerly accepted, but both Burlington and Rock Island lines refused and demanded a higher percentage of the cost of the Alcket. Saeklng an Adjustment. For almost twelve months the traffle officials of the different systems (involved have been seeking an adjustment, but last week a crisis was reached and Southern Pacific notified both Burlington and Rock Island systems that the cars formerly operated over those roads would no longer be accepted from them, and that In future all this traffic would be handed over to Union Pacific, which had made no doOTTUMWA WOMAN CURED tfy Lydia E.

mands for an increased percentage of ihe receipts. Accordingly, both Burlington and Rock Island have been forced to discontinue all through cars to California via Denver, and Salt Lake and the great traffic once enjoyed by these roads is now being hauled by Union Pacific. The two systems which have found their Coast business practically ruined by the arbitrary action of Southern Pacific have not yet found a way to "come back" at the latter line, but are promising that their next move will make the Harriman people sit up and take notice. Both Burlington and Rock Island claim that, in as much as these through car routes had been in existence 20 years, they were entitled to more than the 8 days notice which was given them before their through business was taken from them and given to another road. SPECIAL TRAIN SERVICE To Eaton, Sept. 28 and 29, via Pennsylvania Lines, account Fair. Leaves Richmond 1 p. m. 21-25-27 Amusements At The Murray. Sun's Minstrels costlier and more elaborate -than ever before opened up to a crowded house this afternoon. For his first Mr. Sun has arranged the setting In Japan among the cherry blossoms. Beautiful scenic effects and t rich wardrobes make this a wonderful affair. During the flr3t part many vocal selections are rendered by the singers, Floyd and Simpson, who for some time called Richmond home, is singing two bass solos this year and scoring a decided hit. Tom Powell, that genial funmaking man is funnier than before and in the first part is singing that very popular rag, Alexander's Rab Time Band. The first part is concluded with the burlesque band, which is extremely funny. With an olio larger and better than before Sun's starts off the second part of the bill with the laughable success, Bryant and Saville "The Two Blue Jay Tramps." This is a musical act interspersed with a great deal of good comedy and Is sure to score well. Tom Powell hands over the footlights a routine of new songs and stories that are new and help to keep for him his reputation as a laughing success. The Victoria Trip, Apollos of Harmony, were a decided success and the audience were loath to leave, them go. Smith and Arado. the added attraction have an act that is laughable, not for the depth of their wit but for the ludicrous way of springing it. They are a couple of kids and get many laughs. The Murray scope with a first run film concluded the performance. "Rosalind at Redgate." In "Rosalind at Redgate" it is like coming home again to see the spire of St. Agatha's rising above the greenwood, and to gaze out over the blue waters of Lake Annandale whereon the girl of the red tamoshanter once rowed her mysterious course. But a change has come with the years, a change startling indeed. Into the Indiana wood has stolen the relentless modern improvement, electric lights now flash the alluring pathway of romance. At the end of the pathway traveled by old friends and new, lie the Indiana woods, where once again "two adventurous companies clash loud in mighty deeds." Where the gauntlet of youth Is still thrown down and pretty speeches still spoken of and evening under the stars, all the glorious colors of romance, warranted like the hero not to run, are flaunted as gaily as in the days of Scott or Stevenson. Could . those worthies return they would find the traditions they fostered safe in Mr. Nicholson's keeping. For the love of a stirring play they would find the world forgotting its

petty selfishneess for the world is gladto forget to sit like children around grandmother's knee. Long ago, they found with Mr. Nicholson the "pleasant shelter of the valley of romance," they need no second invita-

tion to return. Above all the joy lies in the fact that adventure is a thing of our own door yards, of home, paths and familiar field. "For all those whom age has not withered, nor care embittered, for all those hearts yet stir at the call of adventure, or the touch of sentiment; for youth regardless of the years, the heroes are saddled and the road lies open to Redgate and to Rosalind." "Rosalind at Redgate" the new play by Meredith Nicholson and George Middleton, which comes to the Gennett is described as one rush of action from the first act to the last. Exciting things happen every odd minute or so. The plot concerns a geentle old lady, who endeavors to keep her two brothers, one of whom is a scapegrace, from gaining possession of an even million dollars, which has been left in her charge by their father. The two men have each a lovely daughter who are very much alike :;n appearance and it is this wonderful likeness, upon which the author has built his complication. AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE. It Made a Remarkable Scene In the House of Representatives. A touching scene occurred in the house of representatives a number of years ago when an aged member from New Jersey arose and for the first time addressed the speaker. All eyes were turned in his direction as he 6tood calmly awaiting recognition. lie was tall, spare and erect. Ills venerable appearance and kindly expression, coupled with most courteous manners, at once commanded attention. As iu husky tones he again said "Mr. Speaker" there came from the farthest end of the great hall in a whisper, but distinctly heard by all, the words, "Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt." A moment later and from the floor and gallery many voices blended in the familiar refrain, "Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?" The ovation which immediately followed was such as is rarely witnessed In ' the great hall. Business was suspended for the moment and the band of the new member warmly grasped by tho chosen representatives of all parties and sections. It was an inspiring tribute, one worthily bestowed. The member was Thomas Dunn English, author of the little poem, sung in palace and cottage, which found its way Into all languages and touched all hearts. Adlal E. Stevenson In "Something of Men I Ilave Known." Rheumatism A Big Joke It's so easy to get entirely rid of Rheumatism or gout since the discovery of RHEUMA that people who continue to suffer are surely playing a painful joke on themselves. It's such a sure thing that RHEUMA will cure Rheumatism that Leo H. Fihe will refund your money if it doesn't. This is the way it acts on everybody: , Fort Myers, Fla. "I was so crippled with Rheumatism that I could scarcely walk. I took one bottle of RHEUMA and was so greatly benefitted that I bought four more bottles and after taking them three months ago find myself cured." Will Gift. RHEUMA is a wonder-worker. One hour after the first dose it begins to act on kidneys, liver, bowels and blood, and within a few hours the poisonous uric acid has begun to pass from the system through the natural channels.

rURIOUS ESKIMO LIVING.

The Pallet Rooms In Homes Entirely Devoid of Furniture. "Furniture is quite unknown in a common Eskimo home." writes the wife of the Danish governor of Greenland, Anna Bistrup, in an article oh "Eskimo Women In Greeland" in the Century. "The houses of the Eskimos are all built of stone and turf, with the windows opening toward the sun, the one entrance always being on the side that Is least exposed to the wind. Along the back wall runs a platform, a pallet of boards, raised eighteen inches above the floor. It is from six to eight feet deep, and through its whole length it is divided into rooms or spaces of eight or ten feet Each, room is separated from the neighboring room by a partition of board or skin. An open passage runs the whole length of the house along the pallet rooms and 6erves for the traffic of all the inmates, but each rallet room claims for its own the bit of passageway adjoining. "Each pallet room Is occupied by one family, and there they stay night and day. The best pallet room is the innermost and is always occupied by the owner of the house or the oldest if the house has more than one owner." Worthy of the Highest. The talk had turned to the orphan children of Henry Doane of Cherryville. The former resident asked the stage driver how they had prospered. "They've done first rate," was the hearty response. "Both of them have done first rate. "Joe Eddie, he learned the carpenter's trade and has worked right along, and as for Emma Susan well, I'll tell you what somebody from over the Center said to me only last week about her in conversation regarding her husband. "Emma Susan married Frank Baxter, one of the James Baxters. Well, that man from the Center, he said to me: T hear Frank Barter's been chosen selectman. Well, I don't know bat what he'll do all right for you,' he said; 'but. whether he's the man for the place or not, there's one thing certain if ever a woman looked suitable to the position of selectman's wife and would do it credit Emma Susan Baxter's that woman T "Youth's Companion.

TAFT WILL DEFEHD POLICY IH ALASKA Interest Centered in His Address at National Conservation Congress.

(National News Association) KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 25. The nearness of the 1912 presidential cam- ) paign, the attitude of the administration on the conservation question esi pecially in Alaska, as a political issue, Jand President Taft's announcement i that he would defend the government's J Alaskan policy before the convention, ! are the causes of much anticipatory ! excitement among the many promlj nent men gathered here to attend the three days' sessions of the Third Naj tional Conservation Congress, which opened at Convention Hall today. President Taft's address is scheduled for tomorrow night. The data for the President's defense of his national conservation policy has been gathered by Secretary of Interior Walter Fisher in the course of an extensive trip through the much mooted Alaskan coal fields where he made a first hand study of the situation, with a view of advising the chief executive as to the actual conditions in the territory. Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester, and President of the National Conservation association, was also expected to deliver an address, but he is in Alaska making a study of the coal land situation. Many Prominent Men. Aside from the political significance that attaches itself to the convention by reason of the attendance of men of such widely divergent political opinions as President Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Bryan, Champ Clark, et al., its deliberations will prove of great benefit to those engaged in agriculture in the United States, by reason of the scientific farming experts that have accepted President Wallace's invitation to speak before the convention. The primary objects of the National Conservation congress are: To provide for the discussion of the resources of the United States as the foundation for the prosperity of the people; to furnish definite information concerning the resources and their development, use and preservation; and to form an agency through which the people in the different sections of the country, President Wallace has secured many prominent agriculturists from the various state agricultural colleges, who, together with metallurgists of note will speak upon the vital issues of their particular bailiwicks. Particular attention will be paid to the reclamation of the soil, co-opera tion among farmers; the postal ser vice and railroads; the health of the people; live stock and good roads. Each of these topics will be the subject of speeches by experts; Herbert Quick, editor of the Farm and Fire side taking "The Farmer and the Railroads;" Joseph L. Bristow, United States Senator from Kansas, "The Farmer and the Postal Service;" Dr. Frederick B. Mumford, the subject of live stock and soil Fertility; While Curtis Hill, of Jefferson City, Bo.,; W. A. Beard, of Sacramento, Cal., and Dr. Walter Page of New York, deal with "What Good Roads Do for the Farmer" "Co-operation Among farmers;" and "The Country School."

of the Conservation congress will be an address by Mrs. Harriet Wallace Aahby, of Des Moines, Ia., on "The Farmer's Wife." Mrs. Ashby will deal with the social statue of the farmer's wife; her daily life and the advantages and disadvantages of rural life for women. i A further innovation from the routine discussions of the Congress will be the address of Dr. Warren H. Wilson, superintendent of the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian church. New York, on "The Country Church." The object of this address wil be an exposition of social life in

rural communities with a view to dissipating the popular belief that farm life is an unbroken monotony. Dr. Wilson, in the pursuit of his duties has covered most of the forming territories in the United States. The convention was opened at 9:30 this morning with an address of welcome by J. C. Lester, president of the Commercial club of Kansas City, for the commercial and industrial and by Darius A. Brown Mayor of Kansas City for the city. The Hon. Herbert S. Hadley welcomed the delegates for the state of Missouri. The addresses of welcome were responded to by Henry Wallace, president of the National Conservation congress and the regular program was then in order. Others among those listed to speak include Vice-President James S. Sherman, Speaker Champ Clark, Secretary of War Henry L. Stlmson, Secretary of Sagging or Hanging Cheeks rind Chin (From Woman's Magazine.) Flabbiness of cheeks, chin or neck has been considered very difficult to correct, until the recent discovery of a veritable wonder-worker for such conditions. The preparation is so simple and harmless any woman can eas ily make and apply it. It is all the more remarkable in that its beneficial effects are apparent even after the first application, both as to appear ance and the feeling of comfort produced.'' ' The formula is: Powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolve in 1 pt. witch hazel. Use daily as a wash lotion. The solution tends to contract and solidify the loos ened, baggy tissue, smoothing out the folds, creases and wrinkles, besides having a refining influence on skin of coarse texture and large pores. As witch hazel and saxolite can be had at any drug-store at little cost, many will doubtless be glad to have this suc cessful recipe. MOERLEIN BEER Agency Office at 304 N.
