RAILROADS WIN THE CASE.
supreme Court knocks ont the Ne
braskn Freight Rate Law.

Washington, March S.--Justice Harlan
has delivered an opinion in the Nebraska
maximum freight case. He held the Ne
braska law to be contrary to the l4th
amendment, in that it authorized the tax
ing of property without due process of law
and was therefore invalid. Hence the rail
road won. Justice Harlan's opinion af
fiImed the opinion of the circuit court of
appeals of the Eighth circuit, which was
against the maximum freight rates law
and favorable to the railroads. This case
was instituted to test the validity of the
law passed by the Nebraska legislature in
1893, prescribing maximum rates for the
transportation of freighis by railroads
within the state. The decision sustains
the contention of the railroad companies
and held against the validity. of the law.
The opinion was based largely on the
charge of nreasonableness Justice
Brewer made a computation showing the
reduction effected in freight rates amount
ed on an average to 29l per cent, which he
held was too great change The case has
been twice argued in the supreme court
Hon. w. J. Bryan appearing as one of the
counsel for the state at the last hearing.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Ct
female weakness are invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to n woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinl5ham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance

DEEP DOWN.

We may move along the pathway of life
enjoying what seems to us a fair amount
of good health, but there comes over ev-
cry human being at some time some IN
expected condition of the system which
may be torture for after years. Such is
an insinuating and unexpected attack of
Sciatica resulting from weakness of the
nervous system, which can give more pain
TO the square inch than any pain that af-
fiicts mankind. 1t has been found out,
however, that the prompt and vigorous
application of st. Jacobs Oil to the seat
of the pain will by persistent rubbing
finally penetrate and cure by soothing and
Strengthening the diseased nerve. 1t is
a pain that needs 10 be watched. The
Sciatica nerve plays so important a part
that Its arrangement may cripple. Be-
ware of its putting you on crutches, fol
II may keep you there for many day
while the great remedy may in day put
you on your feet.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
kIondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader coming
to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the Yukon
country, and that is the necessity for
providing an adequate and proper food
supply. Whether procured in the states,
in the Dominion. or at the supply stores
here or further on, this must be his prim-
airy concern. Upon the manner in which
the miner has observed or neglected this
precaution more than upon any other
one thing will his success or failure de-
pend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is imperative. For in
stance. as bread raised with baking pow
der must be relied upon for the chief part
of every meal, imagine the helplessness OF
IA miner with can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour
it is the cheapest in the end. Experience
has shown the Royal Baking Powder to
be the most reliable, and the trading
companies now uniformly supply this
brand, as others will not keep in this eli
mate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet
sound and thoroughly cured. These are
the absolute necessities upon which all
must place a chief reliance, and can under
no circumstances be neglected. They
may, of course, be supplemented by as
many comforts or delicacies as the pros
pector may be able to pack or desire tc
pay for.-From the Alaska Mining Jour
nal.

-FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL.

On Monay night A. r. Patterson, who
keeps ono of the provision stores In the
Milk street market, left outside on the
sidewalk seven hides This is no unusual
thing for the dealers in that vicinity to
do for it has always been considered per-
fectly safe to leave the hides outside when
the time for closing up shop came around
at night
When Mr.. Patterson arrived at his store
on Tuesday morning he did not find the
seven hides on the sidewalk and as these
hides were valued at S. apiece, Mr.. Pat
terson determined to make an inyestiga-
ton. He informed the police authorities
and Deputy Marshal Hartnett and Inspsc-
tor Pickett went to work on the case.
Suspicion rested on young fellow named
Howard M. Frank who had been hanging
about the place Monday. Francis K.
Gately, who is employed in the market,
saw Frank take the hides but thought
nothing of the procee ling as he supposed
that the hides belonged to Frank. BY
this clue the officers and Mr.. Patterson
were enabled to find Frank, who at once
acknowledged his guilt. All of the hides
except one, were recovered.
Frank was arrested and Saturday
morning he was put before the Municipal
