quired reports. His idea was that only
those posts and departments which
evinced sufficient interest in the order
to furnish the reports be allowed repre-
sentation in the department and ma
tiona1 encampment.
The chaplain-in-chief, Frank c. Brun-
er, in his report stated that there mas
been in not few of the departments
handsome development in mastering
new members, prompt payment of dues,
and looking after the needy comrades
No such devotion to Memorial day ex-
ercises had come under their obserVa-
ton in % years. The relation of the
Grand Army to the common school SyS-
tenn had a paramount significance In
moulding the race into a more sublime
civilization. What had dotted the south
land so thickly with school buildings?
All must concede it was the triumph
of the Old Flag. The Grand Army
could never be anything but a distinct
order, but one thing must be carefully
guarded and that was contraction. The
army of 1898 brought a climax in Amer
lean annals which meant more than
any past. Said the chaplain: I'VE may
be on the eve of making a history or
ourselves in a Grand Army which will
include the boys in blue and gray. L
firmly believe it is the dawn of bright
er day. This would include every army
under the Old Flag from 1776 to 1898"
Loss in Membership.
The. report of the adjutant general,
Thomas ]. Stewart, contained the fol-
lowing figures as to the membership:
The members in good standing June
80, 1897, numbered 319,45 The gain
during the year was by muster in TO-
$40; transfer, 4.275; reinstatement, 12,-
6S7; from delinquent reports, 1851 total,
80, 453. The losses were by death, 1888;
honorable discharge, 1,190; transfer, A.
All; suspension, 25,033; dishonorable
discharge, 1865; by delinquent reports,
7,O41; by surrender of charter, 1,025;
total, &c, 3O6 So the members in good
standing June 80. 1885, numbered 305,-
6O3 The number of members remain

showed that $3.50 members previously
reported as suspended had been dropped

GOATS COME BACK.
Texas Rancher Brings Herd
Back Because of Prohibit
tive Duty.

New Orleans, Sept S.-The steamship
Tyr, which reached the Illinois Central
fruit wharf today, carried from Cuba
enough goats to have stocked every
Masonic lodge on the island and left
plenty over for Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines group.
The animals, 1000 in number, were
what was left of a cargo of !, 800 recent
ly shipped to Cuba by Mr.. Pleyer, a
wealthy stockman and ranch owner of
Galveston, Tex. These he dispatched to
Cuba as soon as the port was opened.
On the same vessel were 400 head Of
cattle. When the consignment arrived
it was found that the duty on the goats
would be $3.50 apiece, which was re-
garded by the shipper as prohibitive
He had lost 14O in transit as we'll as
fully half of his cattle, and after figur-
ing up the prOssible profits against the
certain outlay he concluded to send the
goats back to their native land.
When the Tyr-arriveda at the LOuiSi-
ana quarantine station the greatest pro-
blem of the entire trip confronted PIE
yer and his goats. The ship had to be
fumigated with sulphur, and the herd
ers said the goats could not stand that,
so Collector Wimberly was appealed to.
He consulted with Washington and it
was finally agreed by all the officials
that it would be perfectly safe to take
the goats off the vessel during fumiga-
ton The beasts will be shipped to
Pleyer's Texas ranch at once.

action by the governor is anticipated.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT.
supt McNan Revokes the License of
the Phoenix Insurance Co.'s
Agent

Webb McNall, superintendent Of in
surance, has not given up his fight on
the Clarkson rate book. few days
ago Mr.. Clarkson made affidavit that
his book is being used by the Phoenix
Insurance company and Commissioner
A1cNaH today revoked the license of G.
A. Bailey of Topeka, state agent of the
Phoenix. He sent Mr.. Bailey the fol-
lowing letter:
Topeka, Sept. 8th, 1898.
&c. A. Bailey, State Agt., Phoenix In
surance Co., Topeka, Kans.
Dear Sir:-SeveraI months ago Har-
rison ClarksOn, who furnished insurance
rates to the insurance companies doing
business in this state at that time and
prior to that time, brought suit against
the insurance department in the district
court of Shawnee county, Kansas, to
enjOin this department from interfering
with his rate book, and also to enjOin
this department from interfering with
the insurance companies purchasing
said rate book in the use of the same.
The courts upon a hearing for a tenn
pOrary injunction, declined to grant the
same and held that said rate book, as
used by the various companies, was
clearly in violation of the anti trust
laws of this state, and that I had a right
to revoke the licenses of all insurance
companies using the same.
Reliable information has come to
this department that you are still using
this rate book as above mentioned, and
admit the same to be true in public
and private, and Mr.. ClarksOn, as I am
informed, admits the same under oath.
This is to notify you that, in view of the
above facts, I have this day revoked
your license as a state agent for the
transaction of business for the Phoenix
Insurance Co, of Brooklyn, N. Y. do
this upon the assumption that your
company does not know that you are
violating the laws of this state and if
it does appear that the company has
knowledge of your use of the rate book.
I shall very promptly revoke it's license
to transact business in this state.
You will please govern yourself ac-
cording to the information conveyed
in this letter. Truly yours,
WEBB McNALL, Superintendent -
Commissioner McNaH also wrote to
the company informing the officers what
he had done. He said that he acted as
he did upon the theory that the COM
pany knew nothing of Mr.. Bailey's
use of the Clarkson rate book. In
closing his letter to the company he
said:
This is done upon the assumption
G. A Bailey, your state agent is using
the aforesaid rating book for if it does
appear that Mr. Bailey has been US
ing the same during the last few
months with your knowledge and con-
sent, will very promptly revoke the
license of the company to do business
in this state.
''I would be pleased to hear from you
at your earliest convenience as to what
the Phoenix Insurance Co. has been doing
in reference to this matter and as to
what knowledge it has as to the actions
of Mr.. BaileV"

AN ACTOR HAS A FALL.
Stanley Wall With the Rhea Compa-
ny Falls Down Flight of Stairs

There was CONSERVATION in the ranks
of the Gay Rhea company at the Craw-
ford theater last night. Mr.. Stanley
Wall, who takes a prominent part in
all the pieces of the company's roper
toire, fell down the flight of stairs lead
ing to the dressing rooms under the
stage few minutes before the curtain
was scheduled to go up on the first act
of 1.-THE IrOnmaster." His face was cut
in several places and his body pain
fully bruised by the fall. 1t was 80
minutes before he recovered sufficiently
to take his part in the piece.
For a few minutes after the accident
Mr.. Wall suffered considerably from his
bruises and Miss Rhea suggested dis
missing the audience. But Wall would
not hear of this, and herofcally 'braced
up" at the end of half an hour and
went on with his part. Today he is still
suffering slightly from the effects Of
the fall.
Tonight the company will put on

LABOR COMMISSION.
Will Appoint Nine Men For
the Work.

Washington, Sept Announcement
of the commission to examine into mat
tiers relating to labor and capital, gener-
ally known as the Labor commission"
is expected soon. The impression has
prevailed in labor circles that the pres
ident might commemorate Labor day,
by the announcement of his commits
sion, but it is not known whether he has
completed his selection or rot.
The commission will consist of nine
teen members, ten of whom have al
ready been appointed from congress,
five from the senate and five from the
house. The interest of course centers
about the appointment of the other
nine, who will serve for two years and
draw salaries of So, 600 a year each.
The senators who have been appoint
ed are Kyle of South Dakota, Mallory
of Florida, Daniel of Virginia, Mantel
of Montana and PenrOse of Pennsylva-
MIA. The members of the house who
were named by Speaker Reed are Gard
ner of New Jersey, Lowering of Massa-
chusetts, Lorimer of Illinois, Bell of Col
OradO and Livingston of Georgia.
Frank Sargent, president of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen, is also
a member of the commission
The other members which President
Mckinley will select from civil life will
doubtless represent all the political be-
liefs. Their names are not yet known,
although it understood that eX-Repre-
sentative Phillips of Pennsylvania, who
is the author of the law creating the
commission, will be appointed. EX-
Representative w. D. Bynum of Indi-
ana a gold Democrat, may be on the
commission, and x-Representative
F'arquhar of New York is also said to be
slated. John L. Kennedy of this city
is being strongly urged as one of the la
Dor representatives on the commission,
and is strongly backed by typograph-
ical unions all over the United States,
besides having the endorsement of ma
ny senators and representatives.
The commission will select its own
chairman, and there is an impression
abroad that Senator Kyle will be Sc
lected for that place. He is the first
of the congressman named, and is chair
man of the senate committee on edu-
cation and labor. He was in the city
a short time ago. and had a cOnsulta-
ton with the president regarding the
work of the comm ission. and expressed
the opinion then that the body would
organize and get to work about the 18th
of this month.

rs 1T DURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those
Afflicted With Piles.

Is a strained joint durable? Is local
inflammation durable? OF course, if pro-
perIy treated. So is piles.
People become afflicted with piles and
ask some old chronic" who has always
persisted in the wrong treatment and
naturally he discourages them by tell
ing them that their case is hopeless
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case be
cured by careful and skillful handling
is allowed to sap the energy of thous-
ands who might free themselves OF the
trouble in a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemOrrhOidS in an
astonishingly short time. 1t relieves
the congested parts, reduces the tumOrS
instantly no matter how large, allays
the Inflammation and stops the aching
or itching at once.
Thousands who have reSOrted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in
number of instances persons who had
spent months in a hospital under a pile
specialist.
1t is a remedy that none need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and inf1amed hemOrrhOidal tu-
mors
If you are afflicted with this stubborn
disease you can master it and master it
quickly.
This remedy is no longer an expert
ment but a medical certainty. It is
manufactured by the Pyramid Pile Co.
of Marshall, Mich.
Druggists sell it at so cents per box
It is becoming the most popular pile
cure the country has ever known and
druggists everywhere are ordering it
for their customers.

so shares of common. In addition all
these stockholders pay $25 per share for
Federal Steel company preferred stock.
That is, Minnesota Iron company stock
holders give 100 shares of their stock
and 1875 for 1856 shares of preferred
and 10S shares of common stock in the
Federal Steel company. The cash paid
thus for preferred stock will be used
in purchasing a two-thirds interest in
the stock of the LOrain Steel company.
The Federal Steel company, it is un-
derstood, will not buy the properties of
the various companies that are to be
merged in it but will buy the stock of
these companies. This obviates the ne
ers. The latter can sell or not as they
elect. Only controlling interest in the
stock of each company is necessary, but
the Federal Steel company will ex-
change its stock on the basis stated
above, for all stock in the various COM
panies that is offered. Thus the indi-
vidual companies will retain their cor
porate powers"
Commenting on the Jones mixer pat
ent at Pittsburg,the Iron Trade Review
says:
1.-THE decision in the United States
court on the Jones mixer patent is one
of far reaching Importance to the steel
manufacturers of the country The
Bessemer steel works and the econo-
mics resulting from the interposition of
a hot metal reservoir between the blast
furnace and the converter, have made
an almost indispensable adjunct of steel
making in this day of cheap steel and
close competition. If the decision Just
given shall be sustained in the court
of last RESORT can be appreciated that
enormous tribute will come to the
Pittsburg company in royalties and
penalties and that by so much will its
competitors be handicapped in the race
for Ghe9 nest DrOductiOn.''
