ST. PAUL , Feb. 20. ( Special Telegram. )
Colin R. Davidson of Omaha has received
the unanimous endorsement of the passenger
departments of twenty-two railroads , com
posing the local passenger association of St.
Paul and Minneapolis , for the vacant posi
tion of local secretary. They have recom
mended his name to the Western Passenger
association , which will formally pass on the
matter this afternoon In Chicago. As the
roads here without a single exception have
votcJ In favor of Mr. Davidson's selection
It Is thought unlikely that the general as
sociation will turn the appointment down.
He was selected over three other candi
dates.
J. H. JlcHrido , special flgent of the West
ern Passenger association , has been filling
the place of local secretary since the resig
nation of C. 13. Klnnan some time ago. The
latter waa local secretary for five years.
The position Is a- most important one , the
local secretary absolutely governing the
affairs of HID twenty-two railroads center
ing hero and at Minneapolis. The local
secretary Is In charge of general ofllces , and
to assist him hao a force of clerks and
stenographers.
II
There was ccnslderable surprise among the
local passfi.Eer men In Omaha this morning
when It became known that C. H. Davidson
was to go to St. Paul. Some days ago The
Ilco announced In its railroad column that
ho would probably re-enter the railroad
Eorvlco before long , hut the report was
receive ; ! with much Incredulity. When
shown the telegram ho admitted that It was
correct , Mr. Davidson Is a member ot the
Board of K-ducatlon from the Ninth ward and
last fall was n candidate' for the republican
councllmanlc nomination. He wna connected
with the Burlington's passenger department
In this city far eighteen years , resigning his
position of chief clerk about a year ago.
lieforo coming to Omaha ho wag connected
with the fieight department ot the Omaha
road ut St. Paul , Ho Is one of tbo best known
men among the .local railroaders and among
local politicians.

ST , JOSEPH , Feb. 20. The St. Joseph &
Grand Island railroad will bo reorganized
next Monday and In the future will be known
aa the St. Joseph & Grand Island railway ,
the only change occurring In the last word
of the name. The road will be entirely freed
from the Union Pacific and will bo operated
ns a separate system. The meeting of the
directors of the road will bo held in this
city Monday and the reorganization plan
will bacomo effective March 1.
The announcement of the reorganization of
the St. Joseph & Grand Island was received
at the headquarters of the Union Pacific ,
the parent road , with no especial Interest , as
the event had been anticipated far some time.
The road Is 231.00 miles In length , extend
ing from St. Joseph , 'Mo. ' , to Grand Island ,
Neb. H has had Its own officers since the
summer of 1891 , when the headquarters of
the road were removed from this city to St.
Joseph. The receivers were the same as
these for the Union Pacific. A scheme of
reorganization was perfected several months
ago , the members of the reorgan
ization committee being mostly Union
Pacific officials and receivers. The
reorganization will have no effect
on Omaha or on the Union Pacific rail
way. Though many prominent railroaders
nro interested In both roads , It Is announced
that the St. Joseph & Grand Island railway
will bo operated absolutely independently of
the Union Pacific.

penses of the St. Joseph & Grand Island road

BALTIMORE , Feb. 20. Another reduction
of freight rates by the Cumberland Gap Dis
patch line , operating over the Norfolk &
Western railroad , will become effective on
Monday. This reduction la In class rates
from lialt'imoro to Nashville and Memphis ,
Tcnn. The cut varies from 1C cents on flfbt-
class to 3 cents on fourth-class. Similar
reduction Is also made by thn Seaboard Air
line. Proportionate cuts In commodity rates
are also proposed.
The Southern railway , which met the cut
of the Cumberland Gap Dispatch line made
may not bo BO full as ho7ishes , but if ho is
wise ho will nogloot his coffers awhile nnd
attend to his cough , A man's coffers may bo
so soouro that no ono can take them away
from him. But a little cough has taken many
a man away from his coffers. The "slight
cough " is somewhat like the small pebble that
lies on the mountain side , and appears utterly
insignificant. A flutteringbird , perhaps , starts
the pebble rolling , nnd the rolling pebble begets
nn avalanche that buries a town. Many fatal
diseases begin with a slight cough. But any
cough , taken in time , can bo cured by the use of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

last Monday to Cincinnati , Louisville nnd
, East St. Louis , will not meet Monday's cut
for the present. Efforts were made , "without
success , during the last week to adjust the
I trouble and the matter was brought before
j the managers of the Joint Traffic assocla
lion with this object In view.
1 As the Norfolk & Western Is not a mem
her of the association It was proposed tha
a freight line bo designated to meet the cut
but no action was taken. Pressure is being
brought to bear to adjust the differences
without provoking a rate war. Should 4t be
determined to designate , a. route to meei
the reduced rates the Continental and Central
tral States Dispatch lines operating over the
Qaltlmoro & Ohio railroad would likely be
selected for this purpose. Mr. Thomas W
Nooiian , general manager of these lines , was
In rtaltimore during the week , conferring
with Traffic Manager Wight of the Balti
more & Oh'Io. It is contended by the Nor
folk & Western that Its action was prompted
by secret cutting of rates on the part of its
competitors , which prevented It from secur
ing its proportion of business.

tieth and Farnam streets. Jaeoblnc Is but
22 years ot nge , yet she asserts she has

The reason thnt Jacobtnc views the world
through smoked glasses la due to the fact
that she loved Christian Hertz , who traveled
hence over the gaa route last December.
She avers that she was engaged to Hertz
nnd It the gas had not Interfered they would

with an Indisposition and throwing up the
window sash she deposited the poison In
a deserted pansy bed.
Nothing daunted , she bethought herself
j ! of the manner in which her lover had de
parted. Turning on the gas Jet full head ,
she thiew herself upon the bed and once
i more courted the specter of somber mien.

In order to prevent this Dr. Towne will

Nature of the Malady Now Prevalent In Many Cases Superin

Prompt Attention.

The other half of the community arc
complaining of chills , followed by pain and
misery In the head and by pain and sore
ness In the muscles. They show a quick ,
feverish pulse and a high feverish tem

cessant and dlstressliiR , with nervous sick
ness and cold dejection llko the taste of

That Is to say , nbout halt the population
Is affected with catarrh , and the other half
by thi grip. That Isn't all. Half of those
who nro sick with the grip have catarrh ,

that makes the lungs , kidneys , etc. , a quirk
prey to grip. An attack of grip lets down
the tone of the system to the minimum of
\ltallty and enables some dormant catarrh
to subject the entire anatomy to sudden

To those who dioad the grip , not for the
miseries of influenza proper , but for the
calamitous after-claps of Dright's disease ,
consumption or hopeless physical debility ,
good and timely advice -would seem to bo ,
look to your catarrh trouble. Act precisely
as you would If you had swallowed nil
