THE FRUSTRATING SHOCKS

Of malarial fever are not to be counter
acted by quinine with any degree OF
certainty, or for any length of time.
The eradication and prevention OF dis
eases of a miasmatic type are, how
ever, ascertained possibilities. Long
experience has shown that there is III
finiteIy more preventive efficacy in the
fine botanic medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, than in the alI1aloids,
drugs and poisons which were former
ly the only recognized means of re
moving and anticipating attacks OF
fever and ague and bilious remittent.
When the system has been depleted
by periodically recurring paroNysms,
this agreeable restorative renews the
fund of energy, and is not only posi-
tive specific, but repairs the damage
to the general health inflicted by all
febile complaints partaking of the ma
larial character.

THE MERRY RAILROAD WAR.
Cheap Freight and Passenger Rates
For All Points South.

Baltimore, July 21.-The war in rates
which was inaugurated last week by
the Baltimore Steam Packet Company
(old Bay Line) and the Seaboard Air
Line against the Baltimore, Chesapeake
and Richmond Steamboat Company
New River Line) and the Southern
Railway Company, has been ellNehed
by further slashing of the tariff.
The Southern Railway Company has
met the reduction of 33 1-3 per cent on
passengers and freight to points South
of Baltimore, whereupon the Seaboard
AIRLINE announced a corresponding
reduction on all business from Boston,
Providence. New York and PhiIadel-
phia to the South and tonight went
their competitors one better by cutting
SO 1-3 per cent more off the old rate
from Baltimore to Southern points.
The single fare from New York to At
lanta will be $15. 1t was formerly
1924. From Baltimore to Richmond
and Norfolk the rate is 81, as against
So before the war began. As low rates
in proportion will be established to
all points as far South as New Orleans.
The cut of 80 1-3 per cent in freight
rates covers all classes of freight in the
territory as far East as Boston. This
is the most sweeping reduction ever
made in rates by any Southern line,
and it is given out that it is only
starter.
President r. c. Hoffman. of the Sea-
board Airline, said to-day: I'VE are
in the fight to stay. The controversy
was forced upon us against our will,
and whatever decentralization in rates
ensues will be upon the shoulders of
those who made the issue, and not u.s."
ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE FIGHT.
Baltimore, July 21-The Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company,
has joined the fight between the old Bay
Line and the Seaboard Air Line and the
York River Line and the Southern
Railway Company, and to-day announ-
ced 81 rate TO Old Point Comfort and
Norfolk and So for the round trip.
Freight rates to those points have also
been reduced 80 1-3 per cent. by that
company. The officials of the company
announce that all future cuts will
be promptly met, The company oper-
ates steamship lines between this port.
Savannah, Providence and Boston, and
all of its steamers call at Old Point
Comfort and Norfolk.
The Bay Line has curt the passenger
rate to Richmond to 81, with berths
free.

DiAInantlDe.

A very attractive ornamental art of
recent Introduction is, as stated, the pro-
duction Of an imitation beadwork ON
fabrics of various kinds by means Of
what is known as glass powder. or
"diamantine. " the result being patterns
which present an appearance similar to
that exhibited by glass beads ON close ur
open meshed fabrics. The method Of
operation in carrying out TINS idea Is
said to be siniple-that Is, the fabric is
coated by means Of molding boards with
resinous substances, composed of, say,
60 parts of guaiacum and 80 parts Of
shellac, dissolved in 100 parts of alco
hol, 0 parts of glycerin being added to
the solution under continuous stirring.
After the composition has been carefully
distributed over the surface of the fab
rlc the glass powder is strewn on it
and firmly pressed by repeated rolling,
etc, the glass powder being prepared by
thorough puiverizing or pounding, and
may be of any or many colors. New

Confirmation OF the Reported Rich

Baker City, Or, Oct 23.-The con-

Virtue district places Baker county in
the lead for long time to come as the
largest and richest gold camp in the
state. The pocket Of ore uncovered in
the 600-foot level of the Virtue is 80
rich that work was stopped until Mr..
Grayon could be notified at Oakland,
CAL, and arrangements made for box.
ing and shipping the ore direct from
the mine here to San Francisco fol-
treatment.
In the Flagstaff the rich strike is on
the 300.foot level, where the ore body
measures from four to five feet in
width. In the White Swan the ledge
found at the 400-foot level as mere
stringer, has widened to over four
feet of ore at the present time. and it
looks as if the mine would resume its
former prosperity.

sign that a strike is imminent At a

that the latter schedule announced by

The most sensational trial ever
known in Turkey has just been con-

the millionaire Armenian, has been
condemned to three years seclusion in
a fortress. He was accused of being
chief of the revolutionary committee.
This latter was considered not proved,
but his connection with the movement
was established. He was given the
minimum penalty possible.
