MITCHELL, S. D., March 11. (Special )-
According to the statement published in tho
Dally Republican yesterday Sergeant O. W.
Coursey, late of Company Q, South Dakota
volunteers, makes a serious charge against
tho former captain of that company, Hob
R. McGregor.
The Incidents which lead up to the charge
aro about as follows: When Jay Smith of
this city died In Manila In November, 1SDS.
Sergeant Coursey suggested tho Idea of
raising a fund to provide tho young man a
monument and in a short tlmo something
like $55 was raised and an order was placed
for the monument. Before delivering tho
samo the boys learned that the soldiers who
died in Manila would bo exhumed and
brought back to this country. Tho Idea of
erecting the monument In Manila was then
abandoned and the money was then turned
over to Captain McGregor to ho kept until
such time as it was needed in this country.
Tho of the lieutenants of tho company de
clined to contribute to tho fund for tho
reason, as they stated, that they would
place their money In the hands of tho cap
tain. Coursey left Manila before his regi
ment did and gave an order to one of the
lieutenants on Captain McGregor for tho
amount of the fund. The lieutenant several
times attempted to collect tho money, but
the cnptaln Invariably put him off with
some excuse. Two months ngo Coursey ad
dressed a letter to Captain McGregor, who
Is now nt Fort Grant, Ariz. The letter was
registered nnd was received presumably by
tho captain's mother, tho receipt having
been signed by her. Up to tho present time
no word has been received by Sergeant
Coursey In reference to the return of tho
money that belongs to tho fund raised by
tho company and ho has filed the Informa
tion with tho proper olllclals at Washington.

The mass meeting of passenger repre
sentatives of western railroads held In Chi
cago Monday and Tuesday established the
fact thut the passenger situation Is not
nearly so satisfactory as was generally be
lieved prior to this conference. The Chi
cago meeting was largely attended, evory
western lino of Importance being repre
sented. Ocneral Passenger Agents Lomax,
Uuchanan nnd Francis, respectively of tho
Union Pacific, Elkboru and Uurlthgton, wero
present from Omaha.
Following tho meeting of the presidents
and executive officers of western lines In
New York last week tho report was circu
lated that the Canadian Pacific had Joined
with all other lines In agreeing to the abol
ishment of commluiloDH, tho establishment
of normal tariffs Instead of tho colonist
rates effective from the Missouri river to
Portland nnd other important proportions.
This being the caso it was supposed that the
meeting of ths patvtenger representatives In
Chicago would be merely for the purpose of
transacting routlno business In accordance
with tho actions of tho higher ofnclals. It
has since developed that tho Canadian Pa
cific was not represented nt the New York
meeting and at the Chicago session of pas
senger odlciala Its representatives arbitrarily
blocked tho plans of tho American lines.
In speaking of the meeting Genoral Pas
senger Agent Uuchanan utated: "It was an
entirely satisfactory gathering so far as tho
American lines wero concerned and tho west
ern lines arc practically a unit In all of the
reforms and experiment which have been
agreod to within the recent pant. Some lit
tle dllllculty has been experienced with the
Canadian Pacific, but It Is a certainty that
thin will bo satisfactorily udjuetcd In the
near future."
f'nniiillnn Pncllle'n Dciunmls.
It develops that tho Canadian Pacific, be
fore, ngreclng to abolish commissions, has
demanded certain remuneration from lines
with which It has been In competition for
bulncfl which It asserts was unfairly se
cured by Its competitors, and also asks re
imbursement for commissions It has paid on
certain business. When the meeting ad
journed Tucsdny night there Beenied to be
no disposition on the part of the passenger
representatives to accede- to tho Canadlnn
Pacific's demands, and, Inasmuch as an ad
journment without day was taken, it seems
probablo that tho Canadian Pacific will con
tinue to pay commissions.
Itallroad men are not disposed to talk
about tho passenger situation, but It Is ad
mitted that thu Canadian Pacific's action
leaves tho commission question In rather a
chaotic state. Tho fact that a transconti
nental line, oven though It Is In tho far
north, Is paying commissions Is a Bcrlous
situation for other transcontinental roads to
face, and may result In a renewal of the
commission payments,
The Soo line, a part of tho Cnnadlan Pa
cific, has Just distributed a circular to agents
which Is creating as much comment as tho
"Don't Worry" pamphlet recontly issued by
tho Milwaukee line. This circular hns tho
plcturo of a hugo stork, with outspread
wings and n map of the entire Canadian
Pacific system extending from tip to tip. In
conspicuous letters at tho .top appears,
"What tho stork brought," and printed on
a banner suspended from the bird's mouth
arc the words, "Soo Lino Hates Are Always
Lowest." Ixjcal ticket agents who bavo re
ceived these circulars believe It Indicates
a strong bid from tho Canadian Pacific and
Soo lino for business and as long as com
missions are paid tho agentB can bo depended
upon to route Just as much business as
posslblo over that system.

WASHINGTON. March 14. Commissioner
Prouty, for tho Interstate Commerce com
mission, today rendered n decision In tho
caso of the city of Danville and others
against the Southern Hallway company,
holding that tho system of rate mnklng Into
southern territory, under which, on tratflc
from St. Louis, Chicago and other points,
tho rates to Danville nre tho suras of locals
to nnd from tho Ohio river, and the rates
to Lynchburg aro made on a much lower
Joint rate basis, Is utterly unreasonable,
It tho carriers desiro to make rates In that
mannor, tho commission decides, they must
so ndjust tholr charges us not to annihilate
the city of Danville. It Is Held that rates
to Danvlllo must bo adjusted with relation
to rates to competitive localities like Lynch
burg, and tho carriers from tho point of
origin to destination should prorate In these
rates If they participate In either Lynch
burc or Danvlllo business.
Under all tho circumstance nnd condl
Hons freight rates from northern and east
ern cities, from western points of shin
ment and from Now Orleans to Lynchburg
may properly bo somewhat lower than those
to Danville, but tho present rotes to Dan
vlllo as compared with those to Lynchburg
nro declared cxccmsivc. Tho rates from
northern nnd eastern cities to Danvlllo and
those from New Orleans to Danville on
sugar, molasses, rice nnd coffee should not
exceed thoso to Lynchburg by more than 10
per cent. Tho rates between Danvlllo and
tho west, including tho rato on tobacco to
Louisville, tho opinion says, should not ex
coed those between Lynchburg nnd the west
by more than 15 per cent.
Tho caso Is held open to await readjust
ment of rates by the companies interested

Roughly described, this proposed railroad
Is to extend between New York nnd Chi

Gentlemen:
I take great pleasure in acknowledging the benefits which I
have received from the use of Warner's Safe Cure. From the continual
change of food and water my stomach refused to perform it3 work, and
severe pains across the baok showed mo that my kidneys were al30
affected.
My physician prescribed for me, but it did not seem to help me,
and I asked him what he thought of my trying Safe Cure, and he said
that he knew of several patients who had spoken highly of it, so I
tried it.
Before I had finished the second bottle, I felt a remarkable
improvement, and being greatly encouraged, I continued its use for
about two months, when I considered myself entirely cured.
I am indeed most grateful to you for placing the means before
the public of restoring health to the afflicted.

Sheriff Power, when asked if he would
make public a copy of tho oath to which his
electlon-dHy suhjects subscribed, said; "I
have no objection if The Boo desires to pub
lish that oath. It Is in accordance with tho
regular oath which all special officers take.
There was no more nor no less. Do you
want to copy It?"
Investigation In tho office of the county
comnilfcilonors shows that no bill has been
recorded for fees of deputy sheriffs on elec
tion day. It Is said on competent authority
that tho bills will never appear against the
county, for the reason thut tho democratic
city central coramltteo instructed Sheriff
be paid out of the fusion campaign fund.'
On this proposition County Commissioner
Hartc said: "If that bill should be rendered
to the county, tho citizens would arlso en
masse nnd ask the district court to Isbuo u
restraining order."
Inquiry at the offlco of W. O. Gilbert,
chairman of the democratic city central
committee, developed a statement that the
party organization knew nothing of the ef
fort of tho sheriff.
In a subsequent interview, Sheriff Power
said: "I will see the men who served, and
if they glvo permission, I will be glad to
furnish a list of names."

Tho story of John Fiannagan and his wife

tho suburbs of the present metropolis werr

at one time regarded as valuable. He
counted his money over and over and de
clared that no bank should havo It. He

terpretation of how to do this waa to Invest
In real estate. Tho boom swept old man
Fiannagan away.
Black slave that ho was in the early
'60's, ho soared high on tho crest of real
estate flatulency, and dropped In a heap like
other men. His persistent grievance Is that
the city has flooded his home the only
thing ho has left out of thn palmy days
when all dirt was pay dirt In Omaha. Fian
nagan claims to bo 107 yoars old. Ho ad

that, but icckons all things from eventful
epochs in the country's history.
"J dropped Into Omaha right after the fall
of Fort Donolson," ho said, "nnd I think
that was In '60,"
Anothor striking utteranco or the old man
was: "'Peam to mo that folks nln't like

Asked as to bis bondage, tho veteran
