I Revival of busy days of steamboating on the Mississippi and its tributaries Is likely to be the outcome of the pas sage of the rate law an 1 the agitation by business men and farmers for more facilities for moving goods and crops. The waterways commission announo ed by President Roosevi.i .id. Iook in to this subject particularly. There is much talk among men Interested In the steamboating that has survived of plans to provide more facilities. Steam boats were almost driven out of busi ness by railroad rate cuttiug. Such methods will be impossible under the rate law. The decline of the steamboat busi ness on the Mississippi and Its tribu tarios began in 1872. when the rail roads .started their inroads into the trade that had been controlled by tin* riv'*r craft, writes a St. Louis corn* sp indent of the Nev i or.-. Time;. Traffic on the Mississippi had revived after the war and was at the highest point from tr.GS to 1871'. From that year the decline was gradual until about 1 • 8,". TratSr* on tin* Missouri, however, was the first to be affected owing to the earlier extension of railroads into tied territory. Only three boats were ply lug between St. Louis a>..l Kansas City in ISSo and none from St. Louis t > P ants above Kansas City. Home small boats were plying in “short trades” on the Mi-souri as far up as Bismarck. N. It. for the last fifteen years traf fic on tin* Mi- sourl has been practically abandoned, so far as direct coune -tlon with St. Louis is concerned. Efforts are now being made to revive this in dustry. A syndicate of Kansas City merchants, headed by L. H. Jones, Into announced that it Is ready to organize u company, with a capital of S2O0.000. to establish a line of boats between Kansas City and St. Louis. A Nash ville (Tena.) steamboat company will run one or two boats on the Missouri from St. Louis to Miami, 250 miles up the river. Large quantities of grain were car tied lu barges from St. Louis to New Orleans for export from 1869 to about board and low water troubles lu the Mississippi in 18'.»9 caused this branch of transportation to be abandoned. Figures given by the St. Louis Mer chants’ Exchange relative to the river traffic of the last twenty years are as i follows; 1887. j Boats arriving 2,301 1 Barges arriving 1.272 j Tons of freight received 652.880 | Tons of lumber and logs by raft 213.165 , Tons of freight shipped out. 637,060 The volume of business in 1887 was probably only two-thirds of that of i 1S72, when the decline began. The sta tistics of the Merchants’ Exchange show a very material decline In the receipts of lumber by river from the | south in the last few years. The railroads by the rebate system for years made low rates to all rlvfcr points, and the steamers were obliged to meet them in additiou to having to contend with sandbars through the low water seasons. Shippers solicited rates from both the river lines and the rail roads, playing one against the other. The railroads usually made the lower rates, and the steamboat companies in endeavoring to meet them were ruined. The St. Louis aud New Orleans An chor line, the last line of steamers op erating between St. Louis aud New Or leans. went out of business in 1898. Captain I. M. Mason, for many years president ol the line, says difficulties resulting from low water in the river had as much to do with the failure as the matter of rates. The low water was caused partly by the lack of ef fectual Improvement of the river by the government. At present shipments to New Orleans by river must be transferred at Mem phis and again at Vicksburg. The river lines are making no attempt to secure through business, having abandoned It to the railroads. One Hue having three boats operates between St. Louis and St Paul In the midsummer seasou, confining its busi ness chiefly to passenger traffic. Only one boat, making two trips a week, operates between St Louis and Peo ria, in the Illinois river, where In the early seventies steamers were making daily trips. President W. A. Bennett of the Cin cinnati chamber of commerce says that he thinks most important to the utiliz ing of the waterways of the couu- ! try is legislation to prevent a pooling I of interests or other arrangements that I practically at present prevent comiietl- | tlon between railroads and steamboats. It Is a well known fact that the rail roads control the inland river traffic. F. A. Laldley of Cincinnati, an ex tensive owner of steamboats, says: M Rallroad rebating of late years has almost paralyzed river traffic. We could not meet the reductions made to shippers by competing lines. The Cin cinnati and New Orleans Packet Hue was put out of existence on this ac count. In the Clneinnatl-Mempbis line we now run two boats at Irregular In tervals whenever we get a load. ‘‘If the government can do away with railroad rebating local river traf fie at this point will pick up 60 per cent within two years.” A Bloody Record* (Columbia Record.) Cherol>ee is me of the youthful counties of So rU Carolina, yet the Gaffnev Ledger Is authority for the statement that about forty homicides have occurred within Its bounds c ince its organization ten vears ago. That is a bloody record. Of the exe cution of Harris there last week, The Ledger says: “It Is a fact worthy of note that the first person to pay the death oenalty was a white man who was a native of the county. This is not covin 0- that others should 1 have been convicted, but it’s a healthy sign that the juries of the county have arrived at the point where thev Tre showing a proper regard for the rights of its citizens.

A reporter was Interviewing Vice President James Gayley of the United States Steel corporation on the wonderful new process for mak ing stoll that he has invented. “ft is a Phenomenal success. I am told.” the reporter said. “Hardly phenomenal,” answered Mr Gayley, smiling. “A phenome non, you know 4 , is a mighty extraor dinary thing. Did you never hear the Scottish lecturer’s definition of a phenomenon?” “No,” said the reporter. “I never did.” “Well, this lecturer,” said Mr. Gaylev. “put the matter thus: “ ‘Mayhap, ma friend.’ he said, ‘ye ilinna ken what a phenomenon may ; be. Well, I’ll tell ye. Ye’ve all seen a coo, nae doot. Well, a coo’s nae a phenomenon. You’ve all seen an annle tree. Well, an apple tree’s nar> a phenomenon. But gin ve see a coo gang up an apple tree tail foremost to pull anrdes. that friends, would be a i’ a al phenomenon.’ ” Cooper’s New Discovery ha* taught me many things. Not least of which is that parasite* or tape worms u» they are called are responsible for pa immense amount of sufferings. Thousands of these creaturea have been brought to me by people who have take* the Ne-,7 Discov ery and I now know that an immense amount of sup posed stomach trouble is caused in reality by one oi these parasites. A man or womaa may be afflicted in this manner for ! years and not realize the true caaae i of their suffering. When I first sold Cooper’s New Discovery I did not know that the medicine would remove this trouble. I have since found that it invariably does so. The following letter is a fair sample of the symptoma as experienced by an individual tha* affected: “I was always tired. My stomaoh bloated and the slightest exertio* made me sick, weak and dizzy. My i appetite was variable and a good ' nights sleep was unknown to me. i When I awoke in the mornings I had a bad taste in n;v mouth and a coated tongue. I heard of the wonderful benefits that were being derived from Cooper’s New Discovery, aud decided to try it.” ‘‘The horrible tape worm, sixty feet long that had been sapping my life away, passed from my system alive and squirming after I had taken three doses. Now I have a splendid appe tite, every trace of stomach trouble has disappeared and my digestion if good. I sleep well and am gaining in strength every day.” Nick Emmer- ick, 1344 Louis Ave., Milwaukee, Wis. We are authorized agents for the Cooper medicines. Call and let as tell you more about them.
