Favorite, Then My nil Tnkea
Thlna- Into Hla Omi
Hands.
Because ho was too anxious to fln!sb an
opponent whom he already bad whipped
and had as good as out, Adam Ryan of Chi
cngo last night lost on a foul his fight with
Joe Leonard of Buffalo In the fifteenth
round at Koutaky's hall In South Omaha.
From tho start the men fought Industri
ously, though not furiously, and for tho
first eight rounds It was Impossible to
chose a favorite During all that time
Ryan played Incessantly for the body, Leon
ard always for the head.
In' the ninth round, however, Ryan
changed his tactics, and put hla right to
Leonard's 1100 four times hard, grogging
htm. Joo recovered In tho' tenth and
showed fairly well, but Ryan hurt his ear
at tho end of tho round, and It bothered him,
The fight hnd turned all' Ryan's way, but
Leonard was grime, and came up each round
ncemlngly less groggy than before. This
lasted till tho fifteenth, when Ryan floored
Joo with a right hnnd swing on the upper
Jaw. Leonard took the count and rose, but
was down agnln In a fow seconds from a
loft jab In the nose. He took the count
again and started to rise. Ryan mean
while stood very close, and before Leonard
was off hid kners he landed again on the
nose. Joo went back down and Referee
Rothcry gave him tho fight on a foul. Doth
Ryati'R eyes wero blacked, but he was In
good trim, whllo Leonard was groggy.
Frank Collier, Jock Cowan and Terry
Mustnln were behind Leonard, while II.
C. Rousclot, Jimmy Toman and Dave Cal
houn took care of Ryan. Eddie Gardner
was on hand to challenge the wlnnor.
As preliminaries Harry Mack won a tamo
battlo royal by six colored men, Ocorge
Miller of South Omaha and Jack Cowan of
Illanchard, Ia went four rounds to a draw;
and Young Stafford secured tho decision
over Claude flrayson after four rounds. In
which Stafford had all the beat of It.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 24. Two distinct shocks
ot earthquake were felt In St. Louis and In
many ot the towns In the Immediate vicin
ity a few minutes before 5 o'clock thl
mornlng. The drat shock was light. The
second was mors severe. It awakened- per
sons who had slept through the first shock
and got them out of bed. The shocks were
accompanied by' a rumbling.
Reports received show that the shocks
wero very generally felt throughout tho
city and suburbs. Tho shocks caused tht!
rattling ot crockery and swinging ot pic
tures. In Chamberlain park the shocks were
noticeable. In many houses families gath
ered In one room immediately after the
first shock, but none were sufficiently
alarmed to take to tho stroet.
Fred Ruble, the night operator at the
wrnthcr bureau, whoso ofPee is on the top
of tho federal building, noted the shocks
at the time. lie said both camo between
4 and f o'clock.
Dr. Hyatt, the local Weather bureau
chief, says an acquaintance ot his from
Clifton Heights reported that the shocks
there were very severe and several persons
went Into their yards, fearing the houses
would b3 shaken down.
Tho shocks wero felt distinctly In the
trl-cltles, across the river, In Illinois.
Cashier W. J. Biol- of tho First National
bank at Oranlto City saya that ho was
waiting for breakfast In tho offlco of Laud's
hotel, across from the bank.
"At S o'clock," said Mr. Lauff, "I heard
the doors and windows rattle and thought
there was something wrong at tho rolling
mill. 1 went to tho door and looked out.
Then I realized that It was an earthquake.
Tho shock lasted about a minute."
Druggist A. M. Harlan ot Madison, said:
'Mrs. Harlan and I were Just getting up
when wo felt a tremor ot the house. The
windows rattled, the doors seemed to shake
as It someone was tapping them. Wo
thought at first that tho house was going
to full down and were alarmed."
In Venice buildings shook and windows
rattled so that residents believed an ex
plosion had occurred In the neighborhoods
Kelt In Other Placea.
The earthquako was felt vory distinctly
at Alton, III. In tho west end ot that city
on the bluffs the vibrations wero moat se
vere. Captain D. It. Sparks, who lives on
tho bluffs, said:
I wns nwakcnid suddenly about 4:45 a.
m. I first heard a slight rumbling, then
tho housu trembled. Finally so greut was
tho vibration that all the members of the
family got ready to take 'to the street.

It was not so long. 11 wns very severe.
In the east end of Alton, where tho popu

their beds and somo got Into the street.
Some of the negroes thought the end ot the
world bad come.
Nearly everybody In Belleville, III., felt
tho shock. Tho time given generally was
about S n. m. Belleville Is honeycombed
with coal mines and there waa probably
more excitement here than elsewhere when
tho nature ot the visitation was realized.

HILL ON' THE STAND
(Continued from First Page.)
-
absolutely no difference In the maintenance
or reduction of rates.
At 12:40 the commission took a recess
tilt 2 p. m.
Mr. J. J. Hill took the stand at 2 o'clock.
Much time was consumed with routine ex
aminations to show his official relations
with tho Great Northern, Northern Paolflc
and Burlington companies.
Mr. IIIU was questioned as to tho re
lation of the Northern Securities company,
tho Burlington, the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern to each other. He said
that the Northern Securities company
owned no stock In the Chicago, Burlington
& Qulncy Railway company (tho now com
pany), but owned the stock of tho Chicago,
Burlington & Qulncy Railroad company
(the old corporation).
He explained that the new company was
really a union at the three lines, which
formed the old company, and operated the
latter by virtue of a lease. The half ot
the stock ot the old company not ownod
by the Northern Securities company, tho
wltnos3 said, was owned by the Northern
PnclOc company.
In tho new company, ho said, the Great
Northern and Northern Patlflo wero the
chief stockholders, having Issued a Joint
bond to cover the purchase price ot th
Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railroad
company. These two companies, as stock
holders, elect the directors of the Burling
ton, "There were approximately 19,000 stock
holders In the old Burlington," said Mr.
Hill. "It was Impossible to buy the stock,
amounting to about 1100,000,000 In the opon
market and another 'plan was adopted, re
sulting in the sale .of the property like a
piece of real estate. The Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railroads Issue
$216,000,000 Joint bonds to pay for It."
Had to liny BnrllnKton.
In oxplilnlng his reasons for the pur
chase of the Rurllngton Mr. Hill went back
to the time' when he found It necessary to
offer a low rata to the timber mn of Oregon
and Washington to get loads for cars which
bad originally gone west, laden with mer
chandise Ha said;
In order to put ourselves In a safe posi
tion we had to buy the Burlington road; It
gave us the market for our western stuff
that we had to bring hack, and It afforded
us n connection In the east with all tho
producers, hnd It complemented conditions
that were necessary.
He also dwolt on the paramount Impor
tance of the coal problem In connection
with the operation ot railroads, and said;
We were far from coal nnd for from a
market for timber. Wo wcr at the mercy
ot a possible coal famine, should a famine
occur, as would bo existing now were It
not for thn unusually mild weather. We
needed more than a connection; we needed
a connection which wo could control.
Familiar with Situation,
I was familiar with the railroad situa
tion. I knew that tho Burlington reached
the prairies where timber Is needed and I
knew that by the Burlington we could
hnve. n connection with the coal mines
which would p.it us on a safe ground In
respect to fuel. Furthermore, the Burling
ton could be purchased 11,000 a mile cheaper
than any other granger road, everything
considered.
.V friend ot mine, a neighbor, told me
that for a lumber market ha would rnih-r
have the state pt Iowa than any other flvo
states. Perhaps you can toll me of a road
which reaches Iowa points better than tho
Burlington I know of none.
Mr. Day attempted to show, by ,1 long
line ot questions, that the reason for taking
over tho Burlington was to form a sort ot
trust, whereby northwestern rates would be
absolutely In the hands of Mr. Hill and his
friends.
Denies Trast Scheme Ntory,
To this Mr. Hill reiterated his previous
statement concerning the purchase of tho
"Q."
Mr. Day Is It true that before you pur
chased the Burlington you were proposing
to buy the St. Paul?
"No, sir. An offer was made about Bell
ing tho St. Paul and I simply told them It
could not be done, for two reasons, simply
because It was against tho law, and tho
other that the St. Paul gave us nothing
that wo practically had not before."
"Yes, beforo a fixed price .was laid on
tho St. Paul's stock, were you or your col
leagues not endeavoring to secure .tho St.
Paul?"
"No, sir. The first thing I heard of It
an officer connected with the St. Paul asked
us to take It and I told him no."
Mr. Day then asked the witness If, after
the agreement to organize the Northern Se
curities company had been reached, ho had
exercised any control over or given any In
structions to the managing officers of the
Northern Pacific regarding Its operation.
Olvea Advice, Not Orders.
Mr. Hill replied that be had issued no
Instructions ot any kind to the officials of
the Northern Pacific. Ho also declared that
ho had Issued no Instructions to the offi
cials of tho Uurllngton, but when they had
coma to him "for advice" they had re
ceived it. Occasionally ho bad volunteered
advice and "thought" they would listen to
It.1
Tho witness then entered Into a lengthy
dissertation on the effects of competition, as
he had observed It, '
Commissioner Clements repeatedly ques
tioned his assertion that' competition does
not lower rates or tend to lower them, but
each time tho veteran waved his eye glasses
empnatically and reiterated his statement.
"The railroad Is a sort ot mercurial In
dicator of tho country tributary to It," he
declared.
"If the country Is poor, the railroad will
be poor. A low rate Is not the result of
competition. It merely shows how low a
rate tho railroad can afford to give. Do
you suppose that a man In absolute con
trol ot a railroad having no competition
could raise rates to an unjust degree and
prosper? The minute be did it he would
hamper the commerce on which his road
lived, and when be did that you would hear
of a road passing Its dividend.
"It is a principle that a road must give
the lowest rate It can. I always do. We
have Just granted a reduction In the north
wost, a considerable reduction, yet there'
was no competition to force It. Why did
we do It? Because It Is tor the good ot the
people In our territory, and therefore bene.-,
flclal to us also. The public Is entitled to
a reasonable rate. That Is the law and the
common law, although I am no lawyer, and
the railroads from self Interest muat grant
It."
"But suppose the rate Is not reasonable,
from the shippers' point of view?"' asked
Commissioner Cloments.
Woei of the Commlietnn.
"Then he can go Into court and secure a
reasonable rate."
At this paint Commissioner Prouty Inter
rupted with a little atory of the woes ot the
commission.
"Out In Iowa," he said, "It was' com
plained that .the grain rate was too high.
We went out thero and Investigated, and
demonstrated that the complaint waa Just
and ordered 'a reduction to a 'reasonable
rate,' as you say. What happened? The
roads paid no attention to It and the courts
decided that our ruling could not be en
forced." "Well," Mr. Hill answered, laughing, "I
was talking of what ought to be, and of
what I am willing and anxious to bring
about. If these rates cannot be enforced
the law should be fixed so that It can be
done."
Mr. Hill averred, In answer to further In
terrogation In regard to the .effects, of com
petition that commercial war' between roads
really resulted In higher tariffs.
Rebate Part of Competition.
"They cut each other to the heart," said
he, "and then patch up an agreemci-!,
whereby, everything Is higher than ever.
The rebate system is a part ot competitive
warfare, and you know the ratca the gen
eral shipper gets thereby. Ho pays the
freight which the large shipper has dodged.
Roads aro bound to hustle for business and
they will do much to secure the patronage
of a large Bblpper."
Mr. Hill was then asked If any agree
ment had been made, expressly or other
wise, respecting the 'division of traffic or
earnings which' Involve the Northern Pa
cific, tho Great Northern or tho Burlington.
He replied: "No 'understanding, directly
or Indirectly."
"Or with the Union Pacific system? he
was asked. "
"None whatever," ho replied.
He also declared that 'to the best ot his
recollection ihe Great Northern had never
had a traffic agreement with any other rail
road. Power of Dlrrctora,
Chairman Knapp then produced a copy lot
tho charter of tho Northern Securities

DR. JOHN W. BULL
The Discoverer of (he Famous
dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
Dr. John W. Bull, who discovered DR.
BULL'S COUGH SYRUP GO years ago, was
the most successful doctor of throat and
lung diseases the world has ever known.
He had a national reputation on account
of the wonderful cures he made In cases
of chronic throat trouble nnd so-called In
curable consumption. Dr. Bull discovered
the formula which he used so success
fully for many years after long practice
and untiring scientific study. It has ever
since been known as DR. BULL'S COUGH
SYRUP. No other doctor pr chemist has
ever been able te compound any prepara
tion containing the curative qualifies of
DR. BULL'S COUGH STRUP. No other
formula has ever been discovered that so
effectively cuies all diseases of the throat
and lungs as DR. BULL'S COUGH
SYRUP. There Is no caso ot hoarseness,
cough, catarrh, asthma, bronchltlr,
quinsy, wheoping cough, croup, measles'
cough, grip or consumption that cannot
be cured speedily by the proper ho of
DR. UULL'B COUGH SYRUP. Thou
sands ot letters hnve been received from
grateful pvoplo who were cured by It. it
has bean n household remedy for the past
60 years, and thero is scarcely a home or
a cabin In the United States or Canada
that has not a bottle ot this womlorful
cure In the medicine closet. It contains
no Injurious drugs, it heals the throat
ana lungs and renders them perfectly
ealtby. It leaves no bad after effects.

"Yes, that's right." '
"And whatever stock It has Issued, 'it
has Issue'd at par for cash?"
"That Is right, and tho plan Is o Increasa

and pell that stock at par for cash?"
"That Is right."
"Tho cash to bo used either In retiring
tho bonds or In extending tho system, or
for othor legltlmato purposes?"
"That's right."
"But, In any event, whatever, the capital
stock of this new Burlington company be at
any time, will be 'tho equivalent of Just so
much money actually paid Into Its treas
ury?" ,
"That Is entirely right."
"The stock at par?"
"Yes."

"I think It will have friends enough to tako
It without an open market."
SAYS MERGERJS DANGEROUS
Governor of Waatilnitton Isanea Proc
lamation Amalnst r.'orthrrn
Securities Company. '. '
SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 24. A special
from Olympian, Wash., to the Time's says:
Governor McBrlde today Issued a procla
mation opposing the railroad merger un
der the name ot the Northern Securities
company. Governor McBrldo declares the
community of Interest In the operation ot
railroads. Is dangerous because of tho In
security ot tho individuals making It up.
Such community of Interest he says stifles
competition, which Is tho only protection
In this state against railroads. The gov
ernor declares that the peoplo should pro
pare to enforce their rights. Tho slato,
he said, should also appoint a railroad com
mission for the protection, both of civic
rights and railroad property.
The prolamatlon states that the peoplo
should act for their protection whether tho
present suit la Minnesota stands or falls,
The proclamation contlnuea:
Suppose the Injunction prayed for should
bo granted. Is the danger at an end? It
the aame parties own or control a majority
of the stock of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, what Is to prevent them
from throttling nil competition? The de
struction of the Northern Securities com
pany, If that can be accomplished, would
be a step In tho right direction, hut would
not in my judgment, be a complete cure,
for the threatened evil.
The governor commends a bipartisan
commission of three members who will
protect the people and, yet not Injure tha
property ot the roads. 1
