HASTINGS , Dec. 23. ( Special Telegram. )
At noon today , at the iiouth door of the
Ht. Joseph & Grand Island depot , In thin
city , the St. Joseph & Grand Island railway
wan field by Edward Slmmonton , mastor-ln-
chanccry , of St. Paul. Minn. , to F. P. Allcott
of New York City , for $3,000,000 , the decree
requiring a deposit of $100,000 In cash before
a bid would bo ccccptcd.
Tills ale Is made under a decree entered
by the circuit court of the United States for
the district of Nebraska , the circuit court
for the district of Kansas , nnd the circuit
court of the United States for the Western
district of Mlvaourl and covers all of the
property of the corporation In theoo three
states.
Prior to the rale a new corporation was
organized for the purpose of purchasing and
rcciiilrliiR the property belonging to the road
In th" state of Nebraska by the following
persons : Morris A. Reed , Michael A. Hartl-
i-aii , Joseph A. Drew. Grant A. Forbes. John
A. ConoiiRhy r.ti'l William F. McGcc. A
like corporation will be formed In the state
of Knnaas. These two c.orporatlons will
'ITecl a consolidation and as teen ns the
bnslnejj of the consolidated conioratliin Is
brouKht In shape the property will bo turned
over by the receivers.
The property was ostensibly bought by
William A. Bull of New York City , who
represented the bondholders. The gentle
men present representing outside Interests
were Messrs. William Bull and Bonnor with
their attorney. Mr. Strauss of New York ;
Mr Calhoun , a member of the law nrm of
Butler , Stlllman & Hubbard of New York
filiy. who represented the Central Trust
company ; Hon. M. A. Reed of St. Joseph.
Kcnoral counsel for the road ; Mr. Robinson ,
general manager ; Mr. Drew , general au
ditor , and Mr. Adslt , general freight agent.

Coiii-liinliiiiH ItciifliiMl liy the Ciiiiiiner-
ohtl Club Comiultti-i- .
A committee of the Commercial club has
been conducting a quiet Investigation of the
project of a Yankton nml Norfolk railroad
that has been agitated with more or less
energy for sometime past. The committee
has about concluded that the enterprise Is
not favorable to Omaha Interests and that
the road has no more than a paper basis
anyway. It has been a general understand
Ing that the Great Northern system wcs
behind the project , but although the road
IIOH been wurvoycd and some grading done
on the linn by n company which failed ,
tl'o committee cannot find that there Is a
dollar back of the project which Is being
Bought to br revived.
The Idea acquired by members of the
committee Is that even If siilllclent capital
nhould bo Interested to build the road It
would never be a paying Investment for
the stockholders , and that Us Influence
would be In the direction of drawing busi
ness away from Omaha and to Minneapolis
and St. Paul. o far as freight business
Is concerned , It Is argued that It would be
Inconsiderable. The Hvo stock business
would be a largo Hem In the Nebrcoka
territory that It proposes to enter , and It
would scarcely be possible to got much of
that eort of buslnefH to go by the round
about way through Yankton to Chicago.
The tendency of grain shipments Is toward
the south and cast. Some wheat mlRht bo
Bccnrcd for Minneapolis , but neither Minne
apolis. St. Paul or Duluth provide n corn
market , and very little corn would bo likely
to go by that route. According to the com
mlttce , the bulk of the business of the new
read would bo such an amount of Jobbing
trade as could be diverted from Omaha to
St. Paul and Minneapolis , and the result
would bo that the road would be a loser
from the start , and Omaha would be a loser
to the extent that St. Paul business would
bo secured in Omaha territory.

What an tiicrm-
sistent tl-.iiiif * hu
man bescK is. Men
KO with dread
through narrow ,
noisome titrecta ,
They wnlk wide
of the corners , nnd
look frequently
over their shout-
. dcrs. And the
things of which
they are most
afraid arc perhaps
a hundred times less dangerous than the
thing they think of not at all. The assas
sin's stiletto is less deadly than the little ,
insignificant , invisible germs , the bacilli
of consumption. This is the thing that
causes more deaths than all the wars nnd
pestilences. This is the thing thnt causes
one-sixth of all the deaths in the world. It
finds easy lodgment in n body rjadc weak
by wasting sickness or debility from lack
of proper nourishment. Impure blood is a
fertile resting and breeding place for them.
The man who allows his health to decline ,
who allows his blood to remain itnniirc. nnd
who feels that he is growing weaker every
day is holding out an invitation to consump
tion and to death. When signs of weakness
and failing first appear , they should be met
by taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This Is a medicine for people who
have lingering coughs , whose lungs are
weak rither by reason of colds or heredity.
It builds up strength immediately. It puri
fies and invigorates the blood , tones up the
digestion , strengthens the nerves , mukcs
the sleep sound and refreshing. It assists
the body in throwing off all disease germs.
Druggists are sometimes unscrupulous
enough to try and sell something else in
its place. Nothing is "just as good. "
Nothing is nearly ns good.
No home library is complete without Dr.
Pierce's " Common Sense Medical Ad
viser. " This handsomely illustrated , thou
