2 S0ES A-LODKING FOR SARAH. T'he Anxious Crowd Which Witnessed Mme. Bernhardt's Arrival, HOW THE TRAGIC QUEEN LOOKS. How She Appears in Private, Hor Im- proved Appearance and Gen- Disposition—Production of “Fedora’” t Night, Sarah Bernhardt. The news of the arrival of M’'me. Sarah Bernhardt at the Blufls preceded her to this side of the river. A delay ensued. A gpecial engine was hunted up and the ear of the famous personage was drawn from the Chieago & North- western depot to that of the Union Pa- cific on this side. Fifteen railroad men stood around waiting to @aze upon the actress. When the train came to a stand, the company came out, almost one mem- ber at a time. Instinctively they rushed to the west end of the depot at a rate of speed suggesting a cavernous and dissat- istied stomach or an all-controlling dJe- sire to catch a train on the moment of leaving, They were all laden with either valises, grips, Lruvelil}u bags, canes or umbrellas, while some of them dragged unmannerly and objecting types of the canine species. The presumption is that they were all French, but they looked more like Eng- Lishmen. They affected their trans-cha mel friends in dress, and, as & conse- quence, some of their habiliments were about a8 devoid of taste as could be imagined. When nearly all of them had left the depot and had inserted themselves in busses and hacks or started on a pedes- trian trip to the city, a knot of ladies und entlemen stood around the rear plat- ’orm of the madame’s car. Among the latter were scveral sable porters of the Pullman stripe. The rest were actors and actresses in front of whom stood Mr. Grau, the manager. Every eye was @rained up the steps. There was a move- ment of somebody inside the car toward the door. It was evident that Sarah was about to disembark. ~The next instant, an elderly lady, mnear the platform extended her right hand. Mr. Grau extended his left,and a being with a dark-red, plumed turban descended the steps, took both ex- tended hands, and stepped to the ground. Sarah Bernhardt was in Omaha! The railroad men gazed. Sarah did also, and thrusting her arm nto that of Mr. Grau, started at a brisk pace across the tracks, chattering the while like a Vassar girl at recreation. The other members of her company followed, her niece, celt) oung woman, carrying a fuzzy little English ~terrier weighing about ten ounces, which seemed to appreciate no- toriety not less than his mistress. A walet carried a large black box, from the grating of which glowed the fiery eyes of an immense cat, of a hue as sable asa ruined reputation, Th® madame was encased in a traveling ulster cinctured with a silver girdle in embossed and engraved squares, The girdle descended low in front and drew the garment in at the back so closely to the person as to suggesta pecu- liarly constructed frame.

Ior faco was white, suggestive of the puff box rather than natural color, while her lips were as ripe and red as of the ecarliest years of womanhood, The richness of the red, however, did not warrant the belief that aature had done the painting. Mme Boruhardt travels in the Bern- hardt’s car, which, in February last, bore the name of the angel-songstress, "Patti. It is luxuriously furnishedand supplied ‘with all the conveniences which art has been gble to incorporate in those 1ntiner- ant palaces. The celebrated actress slept in the ssame chamber which shall now, bably, know Patti no more. From munmrmce of the couch, it was safe to conclude that the celestial being had not long been awake from the sleep of genius, though the rest of the car betok- ened imperial rules and willing sub- ots. Theleading members of the aggregation repaired to the Millard. Some of them rogistered without their first names, as for instance: Bernard, konanges, Sey- lor, and Angelo, while others less pomp- ously wrote us follows: Ph. Jarnier, Ed Fourier, Mme.

About the only one in the con.?nny who understands English is the m: o herself.

She takes whipped eream at every meal, and eats with Mr. Geau, her ico M'll Sarah Berohardt, and Mme. rard. The bill ordered Iast night by the erly, for dinner, would have sat isfied the rapacious appetite of a famish- ing frontier scout. Fedora., Mme. Bernhardt's imtial porformance in Omaha was made last night in the vlay above mentioned. The audience was reasonably large, ospeciaily in view of preceding and attendant circum- stances. It lacked in warmth, however, save when the well-known climaxes of the piece were reached, the import of which could not be mistaken by intelli- gent people who had not cven seen the picce produced 1n English. In the ex- ceptions mertioned, the appreciation and applause were quite complimentary. This coldness must be excused on the ground that but very few of the auditors understood the French language well enough to appreciate the more delicate phases of the intense plot. Shortly after the rising of the cutain on the first act, Mr. P. Hertzmann, an old resident of this city, rose in the front row of the parquet and speaking in French, nddrnum?lhemmlx\mn. referring to the length of time Omaha had waited for her appearance, and bidding her heartily welcome to the city. The ad- dress received a kindly and smilingly re- cognition from the star. The play then proceeded, An unfortunate interruption was ocea- sioned in the third act by the playing, on the Fifteenth side of the opera house, of a brass band., The first note unnerved the madame, yet she continued in a quiet and troubled manner to await the cessa- tion of the air. But the band was long- winded, and tne Iylnying continued until Mme Bernhardt left the stage in despair, and the curtain was rung down. The bund, however, was Morpud, but not until everybody 1 the house had re- gretted the bmf taste which the_interrup- tion had exhbited. Mme. Berndardt again enacted the scene, and her kind- ness was so appreciated by the audience that she was remembered at the close of the act with a tripl THE Fedors has been acted in many coun- tries, by many prominent actors, but never has it been giyen under snch pecu- lias circumstances as last night. , It isa common coincidence to have artists ap- plauded or hissed in such a manner that a_continuation of their parts would be difficult,,.but seldom do we greet “‘viva voce” an artist at her very first appear- ance on the stage, nor do_we underline her most interesting and important dia- logue by a brass band! Sarah Bern- hardt nevertheless made her debut among us, and notwithstanding enthusiastic countrymen or arduous serenaders she brought Fedora to us in all her tender- ness, hatred and love. A great change has come over the great actress, not only from the time she first entcred the comedie Francaise as leading actress, but since her last visit to this country. The1s no longer the thin, tall, serpent-like Sarah of yore who covered herself in lace, shrouded herself in weird tea gowns with their never ceasing trains and profuse* embroideries, but a handsome and stunning looking woman. In her first days of “Rome Vaincue,” “Camille,” *‘Frou-Frou,” etc., at the Comedie Francaise, it was often said tnat her acting was a master piece, she was wonderful, but where was she? Would itnot be true to sdy that prob- ably one-half of the audience last night left the opera house wite a certamn feel- ing of disappointment, a feeling that she had not quite come up to their expectations, their ideas! Thur expect acting and go prepared to see it and instead of acting they have real life! The realism that Bernhardt puts into every little detail of her part makes one immediately 1urfiet the artist, tho aotory but the charactur ltsclf appears before one in all its naturalliness and vividnessto such an extent that it ceases to be imitation and leaves one spell- bound and dazed as the curtain drops. Bernhardt's conception of “‘Fedora” is a refined and subdued one and yet the power that there is hidden beneath her struggles to control her ever rising pas- sions and anxieties 13 wonderful. In Fedora's first scene with Loris and her final poison scene, Bernhardt shows in her artistic way, her great dramatic force which, though ever present but subdued, never attains any climax ex- cepting in these two instances, n Fedora's death scene, which is gen- erally a painful sight to witness in all its spasms and ranti n&. Bernhardt shows the great artist in delicately portraying the different stages of the deadly bever- age n the most refined and yet sensa- tional manner, until finally, overpowered by the drug, she falls dead at the feet of her lover. Bernhardt’s support is plens- ing in its conscientiousness and earnest- ness, but 15 certainly not a stronq one, It is to be hoped that Camille will live and die her sad life without the interrup- ;iom that Fedora experienced] ast eveni- ng. SALE OF BOYD'S PACKING HOUSE J. D. Her Purchases It For $75,000— Boyd to Retire. The rnmors which haye been circulat- ing for several weeks that the suspen- sion of business at Boyd's pork packing house a short time ago was the result of negotiations by the owner to sell his proverty have materialized. The sale was made on Thursday night to J. D Tler, for $75,000. The proverty sold in- cludes the whole plant and the real es- tate occupled, twelve full lots. As Mr. Iler is in Chicago, thesale hay- ing finally been made by telegraph, no definite information is obtainhd as to his plans concerning the establishment. It 18 stated by gentlement who are probably in a position to speak advisedly that the estaplishment will be considerably eu- larged and that beef packing will made one of the features. The distillery- fod oattle would thus become available without transportation. Mayor Boyd, who was interviewed briefly yesterday afternoon, said thut he contemplated doing nothing for a time.

ITIS NONEST, GENUINE COAL The Sonth Omaba Diamond Drill Brings Up a Prize, BRUTAL BURGLARIOUS ASSAULT. Mre. Richard McCormick the Vietim —Screnade For the Mayor Elect —Powderly's Arrival To-day— President Adams Here, Coal in South Omaha. The workmen employed at the pros- pecting shaft at South Omaha, on with- drawing the drill yesterday found that coal had been struck. The vein wat un- derlying a strata of black slate closely resembling coal. Allowing for the waste the vein mensured from seven to fifteen inches in thickness. Underneath the coal was found a six foot strata of soap stene and beneath that the drill entered solid rock again, similar to that found above the coal. The shaft is being put down by the stock yards company and had reached a depth of 260 feet when coal was found. Work was commenced last fall when a shaft was sunk as far as the rock. A few wecks ago boring was commenced with a diamond drill which takes out a four-inch core. The shaft is being sunk in the pump house a few from the Exchange building. The discovery of the coal and the pros- cct that a thicker vein could be struck ower down created some little excite- ment among the citizens at South Omaha who were anxious to get the very latest news from the shaft. Mr. Cook, who is now in charge of the work, brought sam- ples of the coal to the city for the pur- pose of agertaining its qualities. Mr. Alfred Cook, who superintends the drill, was found at the Merchants’ hotel Inst evening. He exhibited several spec- imens of Rgnite, or bituminous coal, of fair quality, and stated that beside the five inches of that which had been found 1n the vein struck, there was about four feet of a half slate, half coal tormation beneath it. The drill next struck soap- stone again, and then went into lime- stone, where it is now boring. One of the largest and most perfect cores of limestone ever seen was exhibited by Mr. Cook. It 1s nearly three feet in gth and three and a half inches in diameter. 1t's finished exterior surface shows the remarkable cutting power of the drill. The drill will be sont through the strata of limestone in which it is now working as fast as possible, with a hope, which is well based upon miners' expe- riences, that underncath it will be found a veiu of coal which will be at least two Such a vein would pay to work, and that the quality will be better than that of this superficial vein there is no question, The finding of a coal vein of suflicient thickness to mine profitably in South Omaha would be about as’valuable a discovery to the city as if it were struck on Farnam street. The cost of transportation would be small and the opportunities there for es- tablishing suitable works and a camp would be much better. A BRUTAL BURGLAR. Mrs. Richard McCormick Assaulted By a House Breaker. Mrs. Richard McCormick was most bratally assaulted by a burglar in her residence, Capitol avenue and Eighteenth street, last ovening at nine o'clock while she was attempting to capture him. Mrs. McCormick had been out to a conven- ent store to order the groceries for to- day, and had closed the front door before she departed. She was snrymod upon returni I:ilm find the door unfastened, as it should have been locked by a spring catch. She supposed Mr. McCormick or some of the family had returned to the bouse during her absence, and went in without alarm. As she advanced into the hall she perceived a man coming out of her daughter's room and starting down stairs. She asked him what he was doing there, and as he made no reply she waited boldly until he reached the foot of the stairs and then grabbed him by the coat saying: “You're a thief.” For a reply the man struck Mrs. MeCor- mick on the side of the face with 8 heavy revolver. The blow caused the lady to fall, and the villainous assailant sprang past her and out of thedoor, Al- though stunned, Mrs. McCormick re- covered her feet and ran to the door, cry- ing: "Swp that man; he’s a burglar; he’s a thief, Stop him, stop him!’ “She states that at this moment thers were two men standing near the corner to whom she especially directed her ap- peals, lusteng of heeding her request the two men started off in different ways, Mrs. McCormick thinks that they were confederates of the thief. The police were telephoned to but upon arriving at the house could find nothing to give them the least clue as to the identity of the villainous marauder. He had secured in one ot the rooms up- stairs a pocketbook with in it, which he had succeeded in escaping = with. Some other articles, which he had when Mrs, McCormick saw him, he dropped, Three ofticers were detailed at once to search for the man but without suc- cess. He is described b; Mrs. MecCormick as being young, about five feet, three or four inches tall, heavily built, and with black mustache. He wore a black hat, light suit of clothes, and baseball or cloth shoes. A The plucky lady was not seriously in- jured by the blow she sustained but her cheek bone was guite badly contused. ME. POWDERLY'S RECEPTION. He Will Arrive This Morning—His Appearance at the Exposition To-Night. Grand Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, will arrive imn Omaha this morning.

A very imprompti Bhit decidedly suc- cessful surprise was: given Hon. W.J. Broatch, mayor-elget ' of Omaha, at his residence. On the spur of the moment a few friends decided'to givo hlm a com- plimentary serenadg, and although their intention was not spread by notice, a large number of prruntncnt citizens were formed on the lime,of march that was headed toward tHg home of the next executive of the oil\‘l'. headed by the Union Pacific band, Pat4'Mawes led the con- gratulation armv and acted as general master of ceremonies with his usual suc- cess. Arriving at Mr. Broatch's resid- dence the crowd that had then swelled to several hundred assembled on the lawn, and after several selections from the band the irrepressible Pat intro- duced David H. Mercer, chairman of the re]:lublicnn city central committee, who said : Mayor-Elect Broach: In behalf of the re- rrubncln party, the members of the city cen- al committee and your friends in this metropolitan city, I ‘congratulate you on your election, eare proud of you. You were the candldate of the republican party; you organized your forces in the face of great odds and won_a magnificent victory. As the mayor of Omaha you are not the representative of any one party; you are an executive officer whose duty it is to look after the interests of this great cit{ irre- spective of class, creed or nationality. A criticising public will watch your every step and the future success of the republican party wili depend on your course while in office. "The electors of this city showed their contidence in you at the polls and we feel that we know ‘that that confidence has not been misplaced, and that Omaha will boast for the next few years of a_magnificent city overnment, Gentlemen, [ take pleasure in ntroducing to you our mayor, W. J. Broach, The new mayor stepped forward amid rounds of cheers and spoke as follows: Kellow Citizens and Friends: I stated be- fore I was elected to the office ot mayor that if elected I would do my best to give you a satisactory administration so far as lay in my power, and this I shall endeavor to do. Ire- alize one thing, that it will be impossible for me to do this without the hearty co-operation of all branches of the city government. 1be- lieve that we have a council both democratic and republican that will heartily co-operate with the mayor and other officers of the city govetnment to carry out the administration of the laws, sucih as will be compelled on next Tuesday to giye my oathto support, both the laws of this stato and the ordinances which your council may pass. 1 feel that 1 am indebted mainly to the re- p\lbllcl“nr!y' but also to many democrats who voted for me; I know that fhey stepped out side of the lines to Tm me the support, belleving, {mrlmps that 1 was better titted tor the office than my opponent. I also feel that 1am indebted. 1 feel that I am very much indebted to a certain class of people through- out this city, and that is the laborers and me- chanics of the city of Omaha. The votes will be canvassed on next Monday and that will demoustrate to a certainty, but I know I re- ceived a large labor vote.” It is in the inter- ests of of the people that capital and labor should go hand in hand: the one furnishes the supplies and the other the labor; where both work harmoniously together we are sure to_have prosperous times Your call upon me thls evening was some- what unexpected. Upbiigoing to my oftice about 6 o’clock I found a note upon my desk from your chairman notitying me that I would be called upon this evening, 80 this must be my excuse tor not having made fur- ther 'prkpnmtloll. 1 shake no pretense at speechmaking, but ['iftight have provided something in the way of refreshments if I had had more time. I'titank you for the con- fidenee that l‘l)u have imposed upon me by electing me the chief executive of the city of Owaha and [ promise you I will to give you a do my best ood admifistration, What I desire above all things is that the administra- tion shall be clean. "It is my intention to make appointments such as the council will heutll{econcur in and which will be for the best [nterests of the city, Then followed round'.aftex round of applause and the mayer-elect was forced by the crowd to go through a regular old fashioned *all hands around shaking," everyone wishing to give him a hand- grecting. Loud calls were then made for ir. Bechel, whom Mr. Hawes intro- introduced as the present and the next chairman of the common council. Mr. Bechel said: 7 1 am so hoarse to-night that it is almost impossible for me to articulate but I will say that we have a mayorand eity counell who will be in hearty accord and I trust that they will give you an administration which you will not "regret. The responsibility of the city government will rest for the next two years and a half upon the republican party and speaking for one 1 think we are Te fectly willing to assume that responsibility. Thanking you gentlemen, The next speaker in order was accord- ing to the introducer the ‘“Seventh ward hustler Michael Lee.”” He said: Frienas and fellow citizens: Icame here this evening as ull of you came to pay a tribute to Captain Broach the mayor-elect of Omaha. He has surprised even those who were formerly opposed to him, He has shown that he 1s a leader worthy of the re- publican party before the nomination and afterwasds by the magnificent manner in which he conducted the campaign that has brought us on to victory and given us twelve members of the city council the mayor and nearly all the officers. 1 am satistied that all the citizens willbe so well suited with his administration that when his term shall have expired he will renomi- nated by acelamation. 1 amsatistied that the city conneil will be in herzty accord with the mayor, and that all appoiotments will be contirmed, and that the people of Omaha will see for the next two years a mayor and council {:lllln: together for the common ®good, interests of tiie city and the republican party. (Applause.) Iam satistied that when another battle comes there will be no clash- ing in the republican party, that every man will work shoulder to shoulder and go into the fizht and make a8 good a fight in the county as they have made in the eity, & thank you, gentlemen. ((ireat applause.) Police Judge-elect Louis Berka, in re- sponse to repeated calls, said : Fellow-citizens: We come here to-night to show our respect tothe chief magistrate of this citz of Omaha. We all heartily con- atulate him upon his election. I will say 'or one { will do all within my power to make the relations of the different city offices harmonions and endeavor to the oll{ a clean administration, and so far as in melies L will endeavor to aid In carrying out the laws of the city though the heavens fall. (Applause.) 1 believe ir: 80 doing I will re- ceive the support of the people of Umaha. I am sure that the mnzar will endeavor to lfir point the most capable agsistants which will very materially ald in the administration of the affairs. ) Chris Specht was nextcalled for and spoke as follows: 1 Gentlemen, Fellow Citizéns and Republi- eans Especially: When we came up here w-mfm 1 told two of my friends that last fall the democrats had llu’% music and this spring we have ours and 1 hope we will kee) on every campaign havingiour own music and let them wait a long time for their music. Hon. Pat O. Hawes cloted the talk as follows: ] Fellow Cltizens: We fre assembled here to-night to coneratulate other as well as the successful candidate : who is elected the ehief executive of this ecity. elected a man who has nuder his b organ of oraer well developed. anized his campaign aghisst it i§ own party as well as outside, and he was successful. "He has compelied many who were op] to him to work in aecord with him, and what can we expeet? We can ex- a fair and impartial progressive admin- istration. (Applause). The procession then reformed and re- turning towards the center of the city, serenaded the World, Republican and BeE offices. When tbe procession came within this bailiwick, Pat O. Howes step- ed forward and said: “‘Boys play your st tunes here for you are serenading a paper whose editor has done more to- wards the election of Mr. Broatch than IBF Y:w" in the city." ‘This ended one of the most successful testimonials of congratulations ever iven to a public ofticial m Omahs, there ing only one thing about it to criticize, and that 1s the lack of notice given. Had it boon generally known that there wonld be an event of the kind there would certainly have been an army on the field. IMPORTANT FOR WHOLESALERS, The Raitlroads Will Probably Give An Hour More Time Daily. A petition to the railroads terminal in Omaha, requesting that the time for the recoipt of freight be changed from 4p. m. to 6 p. m., except on Saturday, when 3 V. m. was named, has been circulated among the jobbers of this city this week through the courtesy of R. G. Dun & Co., and, recciving the signatures of firms rop- resenting seven-cighths of the jobbing capital of the city, was yosterday pres- ented to the railroad managers by Dun & Co.’s representative and very courteousiy received. Mr. Johnson, nssistant general freight agent of the Union Pacific railroad, was very prompt to express a desire to accede to the wishes of our merchants in this respect, should certain minor objections be overcome, which he thought very probable. Mr. Holdrege, general man- ager of the B. & M., was inclined to favor the object 1n view if possible, and 80 was Mr. Briggs of the St. Paul. The only objection urged was that in case of a rush of freight in excess of the ability of their men to handle the road might be compelled to hold a portion till the next day. But all promised to consider the matter in the most favorable light, and the views of shippers if possible. The attainment of this point will be a great gain to our merchants, who are now confined to the time between the re- ceipt of their mail, between 12 and 1 p. m., and the closing of the freight gates at4p. m.in which to select, bill and ship their day’s orders, and by giving them till 6 or eyen 5 p. m.,which latter is thought to be the limit of time which the roads can grant, an additional day per week, virtually, will be added to their working time, and they confidently look to the courtesy and sense of justice 1u the managers here to grant their wishes. PRES(DENT’XDAMB IN OMAHA, He is Accompanied By Mr. Ames on a Tour of lnspection. Charles Francis Adams, president of the Union Pacific railroad; krederick L. Ames, the well-known director of the company, and Edward Canfield, Mr. Adams’ private secretary, arrived in Omaba last cvening at 7:30 o'clock direct . from New York. They occupied Mr. Adams’ special car, which had been attached to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train out of Chicago. Both Mr. Adams and Ames were attired 1n comfortable traveling suits as they alighted from the car. Mr. Adams is looking remarkably well. The magnates were driyen to the Mil- lard hotel where they will stop during their stay in Omaha. They will remain until to-morrow morning.~ After dinner Mr. Adams and Mr. Ames were joined by Assistant General Manager Cum- mings and Acting General Superin- tendent Dickinson and the four gentle- men repaired to the private oftice of the hotel where they re- mained in conference until nearly 11 o’clock. After this lengthy meetiug Mr. Adams was approached with in- quries as to the manner in which the road has secured the services of Mr. Potter as general manager, what promo- tions were probable incident to the resignation of General Superintendent Smith, and whether a new depot is to be built in Omaha, He excused himself from talking on the probably well author- ized plea of weariness. Mr. Dickinson, who was seen, stated that none of these questions were touched upon during the conference. Hesaid that Mr. Potter was expected next week, but would not be here during Mr, Adams’ stay.

Deems for alimony and counsel fees In her suit for limited divorce from Dr. Frank M. Deoms, were presented to Judge Daly in the court of common pleas to-day. ‘The plaintift deposes that she kuew unothing about the proposal to send her husband to Dr. Turne for treatment until after he had been there s day or two, Some weeks before he had at- tempted her life and also told falsehoods about it. Sho never said she would not live with him 1f he was not cured. Her father- in-law did not turn her into the street with force, but he did tell her that she must leave his house and that he would not provide for her. She declares that she receives only 830 & month as teacher at the Wilson in- dustrial school in Eighth street and her pesition Is not permahent. She declares that it is absolutely false that she ever used morphine. In answering the afii- davit, Rev. Dr. Charlds W. Decme reaffirms all the statements made in his tirst affidavit and denles the material allegations contained in that of the plaintiff. He says that when she found that her husband was to be treated and probably cured of the opium habit in this city, she became excited and did all she could to obstruct movements to that end, Rev. Edward M. Deems, who is a_brot the defendant and pastor of the Westm Presbyterian church, on Twenty-second strent, corroborates the aflidavitof his father. The defendant denies his wite's allegations of threats and attempting her life, and says that after he was cured of the morphine habit he souzht her also to undergo treat- ment forcure, aud that she positively re- fused. He asserts that she has habitually used morphine since November, 1882, and that it has preverted her moral senses. He offers to submit to an examination by any reputable physician if his wife will do the same to demonstrate which of thew is now addicted to the morphine habit. flsated bty NO AGREEMENT REACHED, The Transcontinental Roads Encoun- ter a New Difficulty. CHICAGO, May 6.—At to-day's meeting of the transcontinental railway representatives the fact was made clear that notwithstanding the willlngness of the Canadlan Pacific to enter the combination of overland roads, the prospect of such a combination being formed i8 not particularly promising. The zranting of a differential to the Canadian Pacific to induce it to j Is raising unexpected ob- stacles. The Denver & Rio Grande, in con- nection with the B. & M. insists that, being a narrow gauge and having to change freight ~ on through busi- ness, that it is’ also entitled to differentials. The Northern Pacific wants a slice of Calh- fornia business, and being a water route from Portland to San Francisco it, too, wants to make lower rates thau the direct lines. The Atchison, Tupeka & Santa Fe, on the other hand, objects to giving differ- entialstoanylineand wilinot subseribe toany such programme. Although a plan of organ- 1zation was submitted by the committoe, the difference of opinions on the question of rates delayed any Pmumun toward its adop- tion. The general ovinion to-night among the delecates to the meeting was that the present rates on certain articles will be modi- fied and made so low that if the Canadian Pacific gets any of the business it will be forced to haul itat a loss. i S A West Virginia lovestigation.

Hardly a week passes without the men tion by the newspapers of sudden deaths, and of late the alarming frequency of the statement that death was caused by rheu- matism or neuralgia of the heart” cannot fail to have been noticed. In all probabil- ity many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible diseases which are far more dangerous than is generally considered, Is there any positive cure? The best answer to such a question is given by those who have been cured by the usc of Athlophoros. .ong Pine, Neb, Aug.11, 1 T suffered for years with neuralgia in my head, neck and face, and have spent, 1 know, over $100 in trying to find some medicine to relieve me, and found only temporary relief inanything [ tried until 1 saw an advertisement of Ath'ophoros, I gave relief at once, and after using on, bottle and a half I found lasting relief. It helped and cured me where all other reme- dies failed.
