ish of trumpets the matador, who in
this particular performance was a wo-
man, steps forth with a brighter red
flag or cloak on a staff in her left hand
and a good Toledan blade in her right,
hidden beneath the right edge of the
red flag. The bull makes a dash for

neck close to the shoulder. The jugu-
lar is severed, the beast trembles, his
knees give way and he falls amid the

NERVOUS INSANITY.
NERVES AND HEAL
THY KIDNEYS CANNOT ENIST
IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity ofiFinding "a Remedy to Cure
Diseased Kidneys Led to the Discovery
of the World-renowned Morrow's
IIiJuanids


NO organs Of the body are more dependent
upon the healthy action of the kidneys than
the brain and nerves If waste matters of
the system are not removed rs rapidly rs
formed, the nerves are the first to know ii
ana suffer i'm consequence. The kidneys
must remove these most poisonous matters.
Therefore, the importance of the relation of
the kidneys and nerves Is apparent and
should be of deep concern to each individual.
If the kidneys do not perform their func-
serious complications must arise throughout
the entire body From the nerves first comes
acute and chronic headaches; then eXcitabil
iy of temper; next nervous prOstration,
shattered nerves and insanity. With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these troubles
can be avoided or cured.
There is only one known remedy that not
only viii make the kidneys sound, As nature
intended they should be, but also have a
strong and wholesome effect upon the nerve
ccnters-that remedy is Morrow's KikneOIds,
prepared i'm the fOrm of a yellow tablet.
MOrrOW's kldneOld5 are not the foolish fan
cV of "a day, but are the result of years of cX.
pertinent, experience and a thorough stu ly
of the relations existing between the nerves
The kidncoids is due to John Morrow, that
eminent chemist of Springfield, ohio, whose
rcpuuOn would not permit hun TO place upon

REGULATING RAILROAD RATES.

Ia
fine United States supreme court has
rendered "a decision declaring the Ne
br4-la statute regulating railroad freights
10 be unconstitutional. This statute
fixed "a maximum sum which might be
charged for lreights within the state, and
conferred on the railroad commissioners
of Nebraska power to reduce the rates
whenever, 90 a majority of the number,
1T seemed Just and reasonable so to do.
The railroad claims that the reductions
made under this law were so great that
each OF the roads involved would have
been compelled to do its business at "A
loss. and that thus the effect Of the law
was to deprive the railroad companies of
their property without compensation, in
violation of the Constitution The court
held that the facts sustained the cOnten-
ton of the railroad company, that the
maximum rate fixed by the statute was
so ow as to impose loss upon the railroad
companies, aud that the legislature had
no right, under the Constitution, to fix
an unreasonable rate to be charged by
railroads even within the state. In order
to determine what a reasonable rate is,
the court laid down the following prin.
ciple:
We hold that the basis of all calcula-
tions as to reasOnableness of rates to be
charged by corporation maintaining a
highway under legislative sanction must
be the fair value of the property being
used by it for the convenience of the pub
lie. And in order to ascertain that value
the original cost of construction, the
amount expended in improvements, the
amount and market value of its bon :
and stock, the present as compared with
the original cost of construction, the
probable earning capacity of the property
under any rates prescribed by statute,
and the sum required 10 meet operating
expenses, are all matters for consldera-
ton, and to be given such weight as may
be Just and right in the particular case.
Three important principles appear to
us 10 be involved in this decision. First.
that the Nation has a right to determine
through its properly constituted author
tiles, what are reasonable rates to be

l5 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE HoRsELEss CAB.

A wear ago New York firm put upon
the streets of that city twelve electric
cabs. which have been in operation ever
since. and have run so well and been so
we'll patronized that the company has or
dered one hundred more and will soon
have them in use.
The success of the Gotham experiment,
which has been closely watched, has
apparently established this vehicle as
the coming carriage for the transporta-
zion of people from one point to another
in the great cities. The Fay livery com
many of Chicago has already bought
fifty of these cabs, which will soon take
the places of the horse carriages they
have been using. and number OF others
have been ordered by merchants for the
delivery of their goods, the Hub cloth
ing house having four under contract.
MANY improvements have been in
troduced during the past year, one oil
which is a reduction in the weight from
1000 pounds, when was the 1897 pattern
in New York, to 2G0O pounds. The Fay
cabs, which are to be put into service IN
Chicago. are of three kinds, the regular
ed cab for rainy weather. They are
niue feet long over all, with sufficient
battery capacity to run forty miles with
one charging, and have maximum
speed of twelve miles an hour and an
average of eight miles. The propelling
power is in two motors and the electrl'
city is from storage batteries that can be
charged anew at any electric station III
from an hour to an hour and half,
This enables one to run them easily
from seventy-five to one hundred miles
a day, straight away. They have hard
rubber tires, are perfectly noiseless' are
easily steered and controlled and IL
every way calculated to make trave
delightful. That they are destined tc
speedily supersede the hacks and herdic'
seems certain, and why something simi
lar will not eventually take the place OF
the private carriages and nearly abolish
the horse, except for heavy draft pur
poses. can not be seen.
