CAJTXOT CARRY HOMESEEKERS WARD -WEAHY passenger Agents Say Facilities Are ' Deficient. CHICAGO, Oct. 10. That it will he Useless to try to develop the West with Inadequate railroad facilities was the assertion of transportation officers at a meeting in Chicago yesterday. The conference was of general passenger v agents of 'Western railroads, and the question for consideration was low homcseekers' rates during the coming Winter and Spring. It had been pro posed that, for the sake of developing the trans-Missouri country, the usual low round-trip fares should be au thorized, which rates have had the ef fect of helping to settle the great dls- trict during the past few years. After o thorough discussion It was the consensus of opinion that it would be useless to go ahead with low rates and attempt to populate the Western States when transportation companies ore entirely inadequate to handle the present business. Managers of one or two of the rail roads at the conference, however, said that they were willing to take chances on their facilities and go ahead with low homcseekers' rates during tha next six months.

EAGER TO MAKE PURCHASE Western Cooperage Company TJrges 6lty to Sell Riverfront.

A. lengthy Communi cation was received, setting forth the reasons that make it advantageous to the city to approve the transfer- and declaring that if the land Is not sold the company. It will probably build its plant elsewhere." Tjhe commission gave the letter very little consideration, as it had previous ly discussed the question and decided not to sell the property. The commis sioners take the position that they are willing to lease the property but will not sell it. Mr. McCusker urged that if the land were sold to his clients they would Invest a large- amount of money on their tract that adjoins It and that' they would finally have the largest cooperage plant in the woj-ld. He added that an offer had been received for the acreage now owned by the company, and if the commission would not sell, the cooperage concern prob ably would dispose of its holdings and locate in some other city. If the commission would sell tha land, he said, the company would do nothing to injure the drydock in any way. The company would agree not to build nearer than 200 feet to the drydock and would also let ships lie alongside of the property.

On the strength fif th at he eats his supper from the free lunch. Then ho steers for the writing room, and uses up ten or 20 pages of good paper and three or four envelopes, and the pnly time he patronizes our cigar stand Is to buy stamps. He never buys two 2-cent stamps for a nickel, leaving the odd cent for a fair compensation, but always buys an even dime's worth. Ona of them had tha gall to borrow a stamp one night here at the desk. I let him have it, and haven't seen him since. Got rid of that one cheap. "In the morning, at noon and in the evening this same chair-warming trust moves on the washroom. There the members maka perfectly free with the soap, hot water and clean towels. And all that cost us money. I've seen one of this same near-silk class of dead feats do all this for over a month In here and never spend on cent. The Hotel Chair Warmer's Trust is Just one degree above the Chronic Saloon Loafers' Amalgamated Association. As long as they behave themselves we cannot order them out, for they always have some shadow of an excuse for being here. A hotel is a semi public institution, you know, and I sup pose we must stand it, but there is not a hotel in tha country but what would give a nice new J100 bill to any one who will break up tha chair-warmer's trust."

A large health publication tells its readers of & number of simple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home. The following, however, for the cure of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles receives the greatest praise, viz., Flufd Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These simple, harmless in gredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and are mixed by shaking well in a bottle. The dose, for adults is a teaspoonful after each 'meal and at bedtime, drink ing a full tumblerful of water after each dose. It is further-stated that this prescription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary difficulties, espe cially of the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used in rheu matic afflictions, relieving the aches and pains and reducing swellings in just a short while. A well-known local druggist states that this mixture acts directly upon, the ellminative tissues of the kidneys; cleanses these spongelike organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the causa of rheumatism.
