8t. Louis. Mo , May 20.—On* of
the most inexplicable arrangements
In connection with the express bus-
iness of the United St*tes, and one
probably disclosing an unexpected
situation, it that uovr existing, as
It became known laat night between
the principal (lould railroads anu
the Wells Fargo ft Cot. express.
Beginning July 1, the Wellt Fargo
&& Co't. Express will displace the
Pacific Express company on the
Missouri Pacific, the Ft. I.nuis. Iron
Mountain and Southern, the Texas
and Pacific and the Wabash.
The significance of this under-
standing can only be realized when
It la considered that the Wells Far-
go & Co's express is controlled, ac-
cording to common Information, by
the Harriman and Rockefeller in-
terests. while the Pacific express Is
dominated by the Oould lines.
The Missouri Pacific is understoon
to hold 40 per cent of the Pacific,
express stock and the Wabash 2o
per cent, making fid per cent of
these two Gould lines. The remain-
ing 4 0 per cent of the stock is
owned by the Union Pacific. The
Gould and Harriman lines own the
Pacific express, control resting with
the Gould railroads.
The announcement that the
Wells Fargo ft Co's, express would
In July supersede the Paelflc ex-
press on the Missouri Paelfle, the I
Iron Mountain, the Wabash and thej
Texas and Paeifle caused the ut-,
most surprise in railroad elrcles. Al-|
though it was surmised that the
Wells Fargo & Co’s express had
acquired control of the Pacific ex-
press, the explanation given was
that the Wells Fargo concern had
obtained the contract with the
Gould lines by virtue of strenuous
competition.

Some time ago a request was
sent to Mr. Andrew Oirnegie for
the donation of a public library to
Sherman. All the proper efforts
have been made to induce Mr. Car-
negie to favor us In the manner in
which he has benefited so many
towns in Texas and tdsewhere, but
without obtaining any response
from him. Many of our citizens and
public officials, among , them our
senior senator, Hon. Chas. A. Cul-
berson, were opposed to asking for
this gift for political reasons. Many
others also opposed It on the
grounds that Sherman was public
spirited enough and financially
able to secure and possess her own
library. Our city charter-- has full
provision for maintnin-mg a public
library at any time that the citizens
will set the movement on foot.
Believing that the public is in
hearty sympathy and that the time
is fully ripe for inaugurating such
a movement t)ie Civic League voted
at. its last meeting to secure suitable
building and grounds for a public
library as soon as possible. Through
the efforts of the Shakespeare Ciuo
we already possess the nucleus of a
library and the city has given It sup-
port and kept, up a public interest
in it by renting rooms for this pur-
pose. it is now thought best to se-
cure an appropriate building, have
it properly equipped and thus add
to Fherman another feature of pub-
lic improvement of which it stands
in great ne<’d. The ladles have in
vestlgated' property and l*a\c had
several propositions mado*them and
hope soon to be able to announce
the purchase of suitable building
and grounds.
