AT BAY.

The persistence with which trusts,
combines and monOpolies have been
pursued for some time past by con-
gress, legislatures, commissions and
courts, has thrown many members Of
those organizations into a condition
which would be described in popular
language as ratified" When one Of
these organizations is crowded into a
corner, it nc longer seems possible to
escape, except at the expense of some
other institution of similar character.
The latest illustration of the condition
alluded 70 is found in the hearing Of
the Joint Traffic association case in
the supreme court. The attorney for the
association, after being forced to ac-
knowledge that the organization is a
trust or combine existing in defiance
of the letter of the law, attempts to ex-
cuse it on the ground that there are
good trusts like his and bad trusts like
the sugar monopoly, and that the law
makers had only the bad kind in their
minds
The attorney argued further that the
association was not organized in re-
straint of trade, but to destroy competi-
ton. This admission forced him to de-
ny the long established and popularity
accepted theory that competition is
the life of trade and he did it without
hesitation.
He wound up by telling the court that
# the association were broken up the
railroads must quit business, all unite
under one management or disregard the
law, and they would choose the latter
alternative.
IN other words.'' said Justice Brew
er, 1.-The railroads are to be expected to
disobey the laws unless they are
allowed to give a bond to one another
to obey it."
The attorney admitted that that was
about how the matter stood.

jest a woman's story.

lest a Wonan'S story.
Not strange because It happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, Bot just a story Of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, of
Pert4, Indiana, carried a burden of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she std-
fered the most dreadfA experience that ever
fell to the lot of woman.
I That she did not die Is almost beyond
belief.
That she Is well to-day Is miracle.
Mrs. BoWen's trouEle requires no descrip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says:

weakness peculiar to nay SEX.

A SPLENDID BUILDING
Four Stories High and so Feet Front
age for Thompson Hardware Co.

Work will soon be commenced on a
four-story wholesale house at $40 and
SIP Jackson street. The building will
be 50 by $50 feet in dimensions and will
have a pressed brick front.
The building will be erected by the
w. A L. Thompson Hardware company
on property owned by them and will be
used exclusively by the firm in its
wholesale business The retail es-
tabIshment will remain on Kansas av-
enue and will not be affected by the
change.
The plans of the building are now be-
ing made and will be completed in a few
DAYS. They provide for a building Of
much the same character as that oc-
cupied by the Parkhurst DAVIS Mer-
camille company. The walls and floor
supports will be made very strong so
that they may Withstand the heavy
strain from the stock carried.
While the building will be erected
more with a view to serViceability than
to beauty it will nevertheless be an or
nament to the portion of the city in
which it will stand
President w. A. L. Thompson of the
company said in speaking of the pro
posed building: I'VE have found it
necessary on account of the increase in
our wholesale trade to have more room
and we have decided to erect a four
story business house on Jackson street
which will be devoted exclusively to our
wholesale department. 1t will be ar
ranged so that the goods may De I'M
loaded in the alley and taken out the
front way.
Il am not able to say when the work
will be commenced because the plans
are not yet ready. They are now being
made and we hope to have them ready
for the contractors before long"
The building of the w. A. L. ThOmp-
son company wholesale house and the
Devlin block this spring indicates one
thing and that is that Jackson street
is becoming more and more the street
for offices and wholesale houses. Both
these buildings would be an ornament
to any city.
These two buildings will be among the
finest in the city. The wholesale house
will be as large as any in Kansas and
the Office block will be as handsome as
an architect can make it. 1t is said
that the fnishings of the Devlin block
will amount to thousands of dollars
bringing it up to perhaps $50 200.
The w. A. L. Thompson building will
be completed before next fall and will
be occupied at once and the Devlin
building will be finished before that as
the plans are ready.
