When the nervous system has become
weakened from any cause. Paine'S cell
cry compound builds it up as nothing
else can. 1t makes people well.
People in every walk of life have rea-
son to be grateful to Prof. Phelps Of
Dartmouth, the eminent scientist who
discovered Paine's celery compound.
He understood the peculiar needs of
the nervous system; he knew that the
backache, headache, sleeplessness, loss
of appetite, and disordered blood all
mean that the nerves are weakened
and inadequate to the demands upon
them. The experience of thousands
has proven all over this broad country
that only Paine's celery compound will
give health TO the nerves, and through
them to the entire body.
Colleges conferred upon DR.. Phelps
their highest honors for his invalua BILE
Investigations in medicine, but all this
seems Insignificant in comparison with
the chorus of gratitude that has gone
and children, who have outgrown
weakness and the lack of health by the

Col. Joseph L. Follett of New York
has a national reputation.
At the age OF 81, Col. Follett enlisted
in Battery G, First Missouri Light Ar
tillery, and soon rose to it's Command,
AT Lookout Mountain, his was the only
Battery that reached the summit
Since the war he has devoted himself
to mechanical engineering, and has in
vented several important improve
ments on the sewing machine, and
bicycle that promises to be one of the
surprises of next season.
The tension on the nervous system of
an inventor, kept up for months and
months, seriously weakened the health
OF busy brain worker like Col Follett
and his constitution, which even the
hardships Of war did not weaken,
threatened to succumb to nervous eX-
haustion.
What Col Follett has to say in regard
to his restoration to health, cannot fail
to carry great weight. In a letter TO
Wells & Richardson Co., of Burlington,
VT, he writes:
when suffering from mental exhaus

ARREST OF AGENT CASWELL OF

He was Found Guilty of Violating the City
Ordinance by Conducting the Business

to the District Court, Where it Is Said by
Both sides 1t viii be Carried Higher
Until it has Reached the United States

When the Wells Fargo and Pacific
Express companies called upon Finlay
Ross. city treasurer, and paid their
license tax. they did so under protest,
and with the understanding that the
United States Express company should
refuse to pay the tax levied, and that
a test case should be made as to the
validity of the city ordinance
With this express understanding ]. c.
Casswell, the local agent, refused TO
pay the tax, and Mr.. Caswen was ar
rested yesterday by Officer Haines and
brought before Judge Tucker where he
was found guilty of violating the city
ordinance by conducting the express
businss in the city without first having
The case was appealed TO the district
court, and when il comes to trial there,

1t Is without doubt that the little case
which was begun yesterday will reach
the highest courts of the country and
viii become a fixed rule for the city in
levying taxes upon telegraph, telephone
and express companies.
w. E. Stanley, who appeared for MI.
Casswell in the case, was seen at his
office and asked as to the reason Of the
company refusing to pay the license
when it was certain to pay on; several
times the cost of the license by going
into court, to which ne replied:
There is a principle involved in this
suit which unGerlies5 the very fOunda>
ton Of this government, and the de-
cision in this case will not only effect
Wichita, but every city, town and ham
let in the United States.
"a great company like the United
States Express company, and 1 might
properly add all the express companies
in the city, are vitality interested in this
decision, and there are able lawyers
who differ upon this question of the
right Of city corporations taxing COM
panieS whose business is not done in
the city, but In the territory lying be-
tween the corporate limits of the city
and the outside world 1t Is different
from railroads, because railroads are in
fact built and equipped by the state
and then turned over to the company to
be operated, but in express companies
there is nothing Of the kind. The only
business they do in a city Is to rent a
building and drive upon the streets
with their wagons the same as any
other business, and you can see that
an ordinance that kevieS upon one bust
cess tax Of 500 and does not charge
the other firms Of the city a cent looks
like discrimination
1t IS the desire in this case to have
this mooted question settled by q court
having competent jurisdiction and then
peace viii reign IN every city. 1t looks
like a small question at first, but when
1t Is calmly viewed It viii be seen thai

OFFICERS SEIZE MANY DIAMONDS
Rich Cargo is Taken Possession by Phila-
delphia Officials.

| Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 14.-One Of the
| largest diamond seizures ever known
/ in the United States customs service
was made late last night by the special
| agents Of the treasury on board the
steamship Rhynland, lying at pier SO,
! South Wharves, and a box containing
| $4,000 worth of valuable gems was
| taken from Captain LOsewitz, the mas
ter of the vessel, and locked up in the
seizure room of the appraisers stores.
For some time past it has been sus-
pected that SCaptain Losewitz was en-
gagged in bringing diamonds illegally
TO Philadelphia, information having
come from the United States govern
ment officials in Europe to that effect,
and government employees knew before
the Rhynland left Antwerp that the
diamonds We're on the vessel and in the
possession Of Captain Losewitz.
Before the vessel reached the pier yes
terday afternoon Special Agent Cum
mings of New York and Special Agent
Gallen, i'll charge of the Philadelphia
eervice, were on the wharf, accompa-
MED by Special Inspectors Martin, Dom
nelly and Johnson. AS soon as the
steamer had been locked Mr.. Gallen
went to Captain Losewitz's room, on
the vessels main deck, and informed
him that he wanted a box containing
$4,000 of diamonds. which he had in his
possession for delivery Ito Herman
Keck & Co, of Cincinnati O., and
which was not on the vessels manifest
and which he was charged with having
illegally brought into the United States
with intent to defraud the customs
laws.
The captain demurred at first about
Mr.. Gallen's authority to take the box
containing the gems. but under threat
Of arrest if he refused to hand over
the box, he proceeded to his berth and
handed over the box. which was sent
at once to the appraisers stores. where
a diamond expert pronounced the stone
gems Of the finest quality.
A warrant for Captain Iosewitz's ar
rest will be sworn out today, and the
vessel was carefully guarded last night
by force of night inspectors to prevent
the escape of the captain or any one
else on the vessel who might be sus-
pected Of having had a hand in the
bringing of the goods over on the Rhyn
land. Captain Losewitz Offered TO ap-
pear in person without warrant before
United States commissioner. Last
night no one was allowed to go on
board the Rhynland, so that it was i'm
possible 10 procure a statement from
Captain Losewitz ss to his connection
with the case.
Captain LOsewitz was formerly COM
mander of the steamship Pennland.
and has been in the Red Star service of
( the American Line for many years. His
reputation as man and master mari
ner has been beyond question. He is
a Pole and the commander of a vessel
which sails under a Belgium flag but is
owned by Americans.
