BROKE 1HE TOBACCO TRUST
Tobacco Manufacturers Losing Ten
Millions a Year
Great Excitement In St. Louis-No Possi-
bility of Preventing Still Greater
Loss in 90

ST. LOUIS Special. Col. William Kir-
choff, general western manager of the
American Tobacco company, has been a
user of tobacco all his life, and for years
has smoked as many as twenty cigars
daily. After using a few boxes of No-To-
Bac, the desire for tobacco is completely
gone, and he is wonderfully improved in
health. His cure is attracting great deal
of attention and comment, and many
prominent ST. Louis business men are fol-
lowing his example. People are just walk
ing up to the fact that the continued use or
tobacco is very injurious.
An interview with Mr.. III. L. Kramer, the
origin ator of No-To- Bac, develops the fact
that within three years it has reached an
enormous sale, almost entirely upon merit
alone. Over one million boxes OF No-Io-
Bac have been sold, and 100000 tobacco
users cured. AT the present rate NO lo-bac
will cure in '96 from 2OO.OOO to oOO,OoO,
and as Mr.. Kramer says, "it IS always the
worst cases that want cure: those who
have chewed and smoked from boyhood-
some of them thirty, forty and fifty years,
and we even have records OF cures after
sixty years of tobacco using. So, you can
see that, if they are spending an average OF
$50 year (this is a small amount) the
cure of 2OO, 900 tobacco users in '96 would
result in the loss OF the sale of tobacco
amounting to over $lO,OOO,OOO, which
will be saved to the cured"
No-To- Bac is truly medical wonder, for
it not only destroys the desire for tobacco,
but invigorates the nervous system and
marvelously increases weight and strength.
Like all great successes, No-To-Bac has
many limitations and substitutes, and the
public should be warned against them.
No-To-Bac is the original tobacco habit
cure, and is sold under an absolute guaran-
tee to cure the tobacco habit, by your own
druggist.

A CABLE LINE 70 JAPAN
Is Likely Soon to Become a
Reality
A NEW BILL IS ORDERED
To Embrace Changes Desired by the
Commerce Committee
The Cable nust Reach the Hawaiian Islands
in Eighteen Months and japan in
Three Years
Associnted Press snecial Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-From the action
of the house committee of commerce today
there seems to be little doubt that the bill
authorizing the Pacific Cable company TO
lay cable from the Pacific coast to the
Hawaiian islands and Japan. will be favor
ably reported.
The committee directed the sub-commt-
tee to prepare bill embracing certain
changes considered desirable. There will
also be conference between members and
state department officials regarding ar
rangements for cable station on Marshall
islands, owned by Germany.
The principal points of difference be-
tween the Cable company and the commit
tee are the amonnt of government subsidy
to be granted and the time TO be allowed
for laying the cable. 1t is proposed by the
company to have the cable working to the
Hawaiian islands in eighteen months and
completed to Japan in three years. The
bill to be drafted will reduce this time.
The subsidy asked is S1SO,0OO a year for
a term of twenty years. the government to
have free use of the cable in that time. In
the course of the discussion il was argued
that the subsidy asked was too large. in
view of the estimated cost OF
the work, $6.500,000 or $1,000
600, and the probable amount
of government business, which the COM
mittee estimated at $4,000 to $50 600.
The suggestion was also entertained that
subsidies might be granted by the Japan
ese government and possibly China. The
bill TO be framed will probably reduce the
subsidy. 1t will also embrace provisions
to secure to the United States government
the right of way in the use of the cable.
James S. Scrymser. presid ent, and E. e.
Bayliss, vice-president of the company.
have written Chairman Hepburn accepting
the suggestions made by the committee
tn at the company shall deposit in the
treasury 500 900 in bonds, TO be forfeited

the specified time; that the rates between
the United States and the island of Oahu
shall not exceed 75 cents per word and
$3.50 TO Japan and China; also, that after
twenty years government messages shall
be carried at press rates. not to exceed one
quarter of business rates.
Mr.. Bennett of New York has asked Sec
retary Olney for an opinion whether it will
be necessary to make treaty with the
German government to secure the right 10

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The house to.
day passed the urgent deficiency bill. The
bill carries 4,415, ,922, of which $3,242,-
bS2 was for the expenses of United States
courts. The abnormal growth of expenses
under the fee system of the courts came IN

. general expression in favor of a salary
system.
Mr.. Crisp inquired what had become of
the report of the rules committee which
was under consideration a week and which
had not been disposed of. He called at
tention to the fact that certain amend
ments agreed to are being enforced before
the report as whole had been agreed to.
At the proper time he gave notice of his
intention to offer substitute for the entire
roporl.
Mr.. Dalzell said that the matter would
be brought up later after further meeting
of the committee on rules.
The house then, at go, went into COM
mittee of the whole and took up the con-
aideration of the urgenu deficiency bill.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appropria-
tiOnS committee, made statement and
called attention to the enormous deficit of

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The meeting Of the

reached today and the other roads were
not able 10 bring the Rio Grande Western

The aforesaid concessions are announced
to be of mo public interest"
The western roads are not prepared 10
accede to the demands of Commander
Walker of the G. A, r., regarding the ex-
tension of tickets for the annual encamp-
ment. They say that to give these tickets
a thirty day final limit, as demanded by
Commander Walker, will open the door
wide for all sorts of demoralization, and
this they are very anxious to avoid. There
is general feeling among the roads that
the executive committee of the u. A. r..
will not back up the commander in the
stand he has taken.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 21.-About February

MISS OvERMAN'S 5 DEFENSE
OF Herself and the Accused DR..
Brown
A VOLUMINOUS DOCUMENT
Which She Insists Upon Reading to the
Committee
The Letter 10 Long and VIII Form the Basis
for Very Thorough Cross-Exsm-
ination
ssociated Press speclal Wire.

Associated Press specal Wire
SAN Francisco. Jan. 21.-Miss Matte
Overman has demanded the right to APP
pear before the board of inquiry, which is
to try the charges of immortality brought
against Rev. DR.. Brown, and give her
version of The asfair which has so distressed
the people of the church.
Miss Overman has prepared a volumi-
nous document and like the Rev. DR..
Brown, insists upon the privilege of read
ing it to the members of the joint COM
nittee. Her request was discussed at
some length and the opinion prevailed
that it should be granted.
The statement of the young woman is
very long, reviewing all the incidents
which have become public property since
the arrest of Mrs. Davidson. Particular
attention was paid to the letters which
Miss Overman wrote 10 her friend, Mrs.
Tunnel These letters will constitute one
of the most important features of the in.
quiry. The committee is particularly anK-
ious to know whether or not they are genu-
inc. When they are convinced of tina, fact
by inspection, they Will institute very
rigid cross-eXamination.
In asking to appear before the board of
inquiry Miss Overman submits herself to
its rules. Her statement will form the
basis for rcross-eXaminatIon of a very or
ough character. Judging by the size of
the written statement of facts, Miss Over
man will take three hours to read the
paper. When she shall read it has not yet
been determined.
In his fret document, which, it may be
interesting to know, WAS dictated to the
police, no reference whatever is made to
the letters penned to Mrs. Tunnel. These
letters were private property then, and so
far as known only two persons were aware
of their contents. Miss Overman's 8 defense
was made of other material. She met the
charges of Mrs. Davidson upon other
grounds. She was ready to produce let
ters which were written to her by DIR.
Brown at the very time that Mrs. Davidson
charged that an amour was in progress.
These letters, as already related, are
barren of the suggestion of affection.
They will still form strong part of the
case as DR.. Brown and Miss Overman will
present it to the board of inquiry. But in
view of the second document, which was
furnished yesterday, to which detailed ref
erence was made last night, the Brown let
ters constitute an incident of only minor
importance.
In the second statement Miss Oyerman
lays particular stress upon the letters
which she wrote to Mrs. Tunnil. These
letters must be explained. The committee
is unit in the opinion that these letters
form the most important feature of the in
vestigation. In the second statement Miss
Overman tries to supply this explanation.

lis DESPERATE PASSION
A New York Youth Attempts 10 Kill a
Cypriau
Because She Refused to Go Away " ith Him.
An Alameda Street Sensation Last
Friday Night

The infatuation of gilded youth with
one of the denizens of Little Paris came
near resulting fatally for the cyprian last
Friday night, and may yet develop into a
serious affair for the gilded young man.
The young blood claims to be a New
Yorker. He has been about town off and
on for the past seven months. Herminie
Depaux is the name of the Alameda-street
woman who figured in the affair.
About six months ago the rowing sport
became acquainted with the black-eyed
Herminie and at once conceived the idea
that he was in love with her. After visiting
her place on numerous occasions, he final
ly declared his passion and begged her TO
accompan him to New York. The girl
took practical view of the matter and re-
fused to go. Her would-be lover went eway
disconsolate.
A few days ago he returned. His pro-
longed absence had not increased his wis
dom or in anywise decreased his passion
He again prevailed upon his idol to be-
come solely his, but without avail. He
offered her money as an inducement, of
which it is reported he had a plenty, but
madamoiselle still persisted in keeping the
uneven tenor of her way.
At this Don Juan became furious. His
boyish amour was supplanted by the anger
of a man. Swearing vengeance he left her,
and on last Friday evening returned. He
repeated his former protestations of love,
which were reciprocated. 1t is reported
that he had 100 $40 gold pieces with him
at the time. AS la belle grisette was pre-.
pairing to retire, her youth
full lover dealt her a heavy blow
over the head with short weapon which
he carried rolled up in newspaper. Her
mimic was knocked senseless and her as
sailant departed unobserved. In about an
hour she regained consciousness, and SUM
moned help by blowing police whistle.
An officer and several of the woman's
neighbors were soon on the scene. Med
ical aid was summoned and a number of
stitches taken in the scalp at the back of
the head set the injured girl right so far as
her physical condition was concerned. Not
so with her temper, however. She wanted
her youthful lover arrested, and to that
end appeared before one of the city magis-
trates and swore out a complaint against
him. In all probability the fellow will not
be arrested, as it Is stated he took the train
for New York last Monday.
