The purchase last week of what is prac-
tically the controlling interests in the Sea-
board Air Line by a syndicate of local
bankers draws attention to the extent
to which thiei controlling- interest in the
largest railroad system is becoming lodged
in the hands of Wall Street banking in-
terests. The Seaboard Air Line^ was built
entirely with southern capital, and until
recently more than a majority of the
company’s stock was owned south of the
Mason and Dixon line. With this last
purchase, the control of every prominent
southern railroad is now held in Wall
Street, although the new interests do not,
of course, own a majority of the shares.
Not so many years ago New England
was the investment center of the country,
and the controlling interests in several
railroads was owned there. During recent
years, however, that section has been
steadily losing its holdings. At present
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
is probably the only railroad system still
controlled by New England Interests. All
of the first transcontinental lines origin-
ated in that section of the country. The
Union Pacific was constructed by the
Ames family of North Easton; the North-
ern Pacific originated with the Cheney
and Billings families of New Hampshire
and Vermont; the Atchison with the
Nickerson family and their associates in
What continued use of improper food
will do by upsetting the nervous system
seems almost beyond belief, and it’s just
as surprising to- see how a simple change
from poorly selected food to good nour-
ishing food will tend all of these ills. A
Chicago man says:
“My nervous system became so shat-
tered that whenever I looked at a moving
object my right eye turned out to the
side, my speech was stuttering, the mem-
ory poor, and I was very absent-minded.
My face was covered with pimples and I
was constantly ashamed of my appear-
ance.
“The doctors said my blood was in a
bad state and I took medicine for this
for a year, but only got worse. I was so
completely disgusted with everything I
was tired of living, although I had no
cause to be as far as friends and home
were concerned.
“When medicine failed I tried eating
ofily the plainest foods, but this got tire-
some and, I did not seem to get enough
nourishment, until in my experimenting 1
gave the food called Grape-Nuts a trial.
This seemed so different from the rest, it
seemed crisp and full of nourishment, and
I ate it with cream for breakfast as well
as desert after the other meals. Almost
immediately my nerves began to get
stronger and steadier and sounder, and I
felt as though a great change was going
on within me.
“The first effect I noticed was my right
eye. did not seem so loose in my head, 1
could look without seeing double, and
then I noticed that I took more interest
in life and was not such a chronic kicker,
my memory improved, physical endurance
was greater, and my sleep sounder and re-
freshing.
“In a year’s time I had recovered en-
tirely from the old absent-mindedness,
my complexion had cleared and left me
without any more pimples upon my face,
all the old trouble with the eye is gone
for good and, to cut the list short, why, I
have a sound nervous system, am strong-
er and healthier physically upon Grape-
Nuts diet. I could write twice as much
more about what this food has done for
me. It is certainly a most wonderful food
for the brain and nerves.” Name given

New York, Sept. 17.—A lively debate has

use of the building as a place of amuse-

Chicago, Sept. 17.—Chicago is to bave
a new packing house plant, capitalized
at $2,500,000 and with a daily capacity of
1000 head of cattle, 2000 hogs and 5000 sheep.
The company has been incorporated un-
der the laws of New York, and negotia-
tions for a site at the Union stock yards
are under way. The plant is expected to
be erected and in working order by May
19, 1905. A group of New York capitalists
is said to be back of the enterprise, and
an avowed intention of the company is to
help create healthy competition in the
packing industry. The concern will have
branches in New York, Chicago and the
important packing centers of the west.
A line of refrigerator cars will be run in
connection with the new. plant.

Canadian Obstinacy Results in Loss to
Their Vessels on Lakes.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Ill., Sept. 17.—Because it re-
fused to pay an inspection fee of nearly
$100 the Canadian steamer Arabian has
been forbidden to carry passengers from
Chicago. As a result six persons who had
secured accommodations traveled by rail-
road instead.
This condition was brought about by
the refusal of the Canadian government
in 1898 to accept the American inspection
of steam'vessels. American vessels regu-
larly inspected at their home port had
been allowed to carry passengers to any
port on the lakes. In retaliation the
United States government adopted a
similar rule and the Aragian now suffers
from it. The passengers were taken
aboard at Niagara Falls.

The Lake Victim Identified By a
Peculiar Metal Plate on
Ne»xt Drawing
Oct. 13th.
Chicago, Sept. 17.—Through a peculiar
metal plate worn on her shoes, the ident-
ity of the woman’s body taken from the
lake at the Columbia Yacht club house
Sunday morning was established. Ac-
quaintances proved her to > be Vivian
Rhod.es, formerly Miss Maude Woloott
of Minneapolis, an artist’s model. Today
the police will attempt to establish the
facts surrounding her death, which so
far have defied a most searching investi-
gation.
Circumstances of a peculiar nature de-
veloped last night, when an attempt was
made to trace her last movements before
she consigned her weary form to the
waters of the lake, or was slain by per-
sons unknown. She had lived at the
Campbell hotel, Clark street, between
Washington and Madison streets, since
February, but for the last three’ weeks
had made frequent trips to Milwaukee
on the steamer Virginia.
Milwaukee Saturday night
She went to
a week ago
and was seen to gO' aboard Sunday night.
The - last person who has any recollec-
tion of seeing her alive is Charles R-
Harden, ticket taker at the boat. He
made the positive statement that he saw
the woman go on board.
Oapt. George M. Pardee of the. Virginia
instituted a search to ascertain whether
a woman’s hat had been found on the
boat on the night of her supposed dis-
appearance, but none of the employes
had seen it. The theory that she jumped
from the boat without her hat had caused
the inquiry. The absence of her hat and
the failure of the police to find it make
the affair more deeply mysterious.
The police are now endeavoring to prove
that the woman either fell from the boat
after it was under way, on the ground
that she was last seen entering the vessel.
At the Campbell hotel it was said she
left for the boat at a little after 8 o’clock
and had not been seen since.
While the identity of Miss Wolcott or
Mrs. Rhodes is established, little is known
of her former life except that she was
unhappily married in Minneapolis and be-
came an artist’s model as a means of a
livelihood after leaving her husband. In
her trunk were notes commissioning her
for sittings for well-known artists, but it
was said she had been employed but little
lately and was morose and despondent
at times. All the girl’s correspondence in-
dicates that her friends are of good stand-
ing and in bar trunk are many articles
of a descriptive nature written while at
various parts of the world.
Vivian Rhodes, as the woman was
known in Chicago, told within a few days
of her disappearance of enemies she had.
both men and women, and evidently
brooded over it.
The identity of the body was estab-
lished in a peculiar manner, when one of
the shoes was taken to’ Mandel Brothers’
store, that name being inside . it. The
sole plates on the shoe caused the clerk
to remember that he had sent such a shoe
to the Campbell hotel and Clerk F. Bail-
ey, when shown the footgear, went to
Rolston’s undertaking rooms and

stamps were mixed promiscuously. Mail
has been picked up just below the sta-
tion to three miles south of here.
A card was found stating a registered
package was in the mail, but no such
package has been found. The whole thing
is enveloped in mystery, which Uncle Sam
is trying to solve.

It was then ’that she started to make
her frequent trips to Milwaukee on the
night boats. It’ was believed she had
some friends in that city. Last night it
vzas learned that she had been friendly
with Pennywell, and he deined seeing his ;
sister a week ago Saturday. He said that
on the return of the boat he walked with
her to the Rush street bridge and had
not seen her since. The ticket man re-
members them walking away and is posi-
tive that she entered the boat again that
night. After she passed the gang-plank
he saw her no more, and at that point
all trace of her is lost.
The coroner’s inquest found that the girl
met death from drowning, and left the
question of circumstances an open one,
which the police will now take up and
attempt to ascertain.
