Helpless
RheuI]latiCS!

Rheumatism is no respecter of per-
sons-the healthy and vigorous are
as liable to its attacks as the weak.
The symptoms of the disease are
almost unnoticed at first, so insidi-
ously do they steal over the body;
gradually the little pains and stiffness
increase, until they develop greater
inconvenience day by day.
The knees, ankles, and other Joints
of the body ache constantly, swell
ing to several times their natural
size; the patient finds himself unable
to get around; is soon incapacitated
for business, and later is confined to
his bed, utterly helpless.
It is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition by the applica-
ton of 1iniments and other external
remedies. The medical profession ad-
NIT that the disease is in the blood,
and it is but reasonable that only a
blood remedy, one purely vegetable,
and free. from potash, can afford re-
lief. S. S. S. (Swift's Specitic) is an
unfai1ing remedy for Rheumatism,
and has cured the severest cases,
where other remedies failed to reach
the disease pf.as

The state of Ohio has won In it's
suit in the United States supreme
court upon the constltutionality OF
socalled Nichols law. This law levied
a special tax upon telegraph, tele-
phone and express companies. The
Western Union carried the case up,
and after making overtures for settle
ment, finanlly petitioned for dismissal
of the case, which is virtual throw
ing up of the sponge. The result
carries with it sum amounting to
1920, 900, being the tax upon the
Western Union receipts for the past
four years. The amount involved In
the tax Of the express companies 6gur-
es up $l50,0OO for the same period of
time. This is an important result,
and paves the way to similar revenue
legislation in Ohio. Some day, at no
distant future, the state revenues may
be wholly met in this manner, l. e.,
by taxation upon the earnings of valu-
able franchies. The city of Glasgow
does not levy a cent of taxes. upon
real or personal property. Its reve-
nues are met exclusively by taxation
of franchises. This is an ideal sys-
tem.-EG.

BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.


Washington, Feb. 14.--Mr, c. T.. Hunt
ington appeared before the house COM
mittee on Pacific roads today He be-
gan by saying that the roads were bullt
Tor the policing of the country and to
permit easy communication between the
East and West.
Mr.. Huntington dwelt upon the fact
that the road had been kept in fine
condition. The cutting of rates and
cutting of time had been responsible
for the fact that the company was not
able to meet Its obligations.
Replying to the charge that the Cen
trail Pacific had not shown dispose
tion to cooperate with the Union Pa
ciho so as to form u continuous line,
he said that the charge was without
foundation.
Mr.. Huntington expressed the opin-
Ion that q consolidation of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific as contem-
plated by Senator Thurston's bill would
be injurious to the interests of the own
ers of both lines.
In concluding his prepared statement
Mr.. Huntington said that while this
government obligation was not d per-
sonal debt of his he felt as great in-
terest as IL 1t were such and he was
anxious that an advantageous arrange
ment should be made for all parties.
He suggested that the debt should be
refunded at the rate of one and one-half
per cent, and provision made for the
payment Of a fixed sum, say every siS;
months until the debt should be wiped
out. He thought the security would
be good.

day next without concluding the exam
ination of Mr.. Huntington.
