The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

into the Canadian territory. which is the
present scene of trouble. Officials of the
road are reticent concerning the matter
and refuse TO enter into any discussion
of the present disagreement. 1t results
from the famous Mellen letter to the
mayor of Winnipeg, which has since been
used as political material The APP
preaching elections have intensified the
opposition of the government and have IN
creased the difficulties In the way of the
Northern Paeifics efforts to secure a sat-
isfactory adjustment of the dispute.
President Mellen, in his letter, severely
criticised the attorney general of Mani
toba for alleged violation of many
agrelements. He asserted that Cameron.
the attorney general. had agreed first
to a subsidy for a Northern Pacific ex-
tension in Manitoba then to guarantee
the bonds of the company and had later
made two other compacts. All were
broken. The criticisms were severe on
the government In general and now
threaten to become the cause Of a serious
fight.

BONDING COMMISSION MEN.
The Duluth Merchants Will, Receive
mn Official Visit Wednesday,.

The railroad and warehouse commits
sion will go to Duluth on Wednesday to
meet the grain commission men located
there and adjust the matter OF bond on
their licenses required. under the new
commission law The delegations which
visited the commission before the Mime
apeHss Meeting at which local cases were
adjusted. were empowered by the Duluth
commission men to act for them, and ar
ranged the session. Speaking Of the re-
suits Of the meeting held in Minneapolis
and the present condition of the effort to
enforce the law, Commissioner Ringdal
said yesterday:
4The conference at Duluth will end the
trouble with the commission men,. Appli-
cations for licenses are still coming in,
and the first has been, issued today. Two
others were to have been sent out, but the
applicants forgot their revenue stamps.
AT the Minneapolis session with the
grain men it became evident -that~it was
more just to consider the heaviest bal
anees carried during last. year as evidence
of the amount Of liability to outside ship
fpers incurred than to exact an arbitrary
10 per. cent as the, amount to be required
as bond. In the majority of cases we
found that grain cOnsignments were sent
in, to the firm on bills Of lading, and at
the. same time the firms were drawn upon
with sight drafts for payment, making
it seem that shippers generally received
their money before cons.gnments were re-
ceiyed in the cities. The Individual con-
sfgnors held comparatively small out
standing Claims at any one time, showing
that the real liabilities of the firms to
the men whom lit was the especial object
of the law TO. protect were small. The
same plan pursued with The Minneapolis
commission men, VIII be followed in Du-
luth, and when the cases there are con-
sidered. the matter of the difficulty be-
tween the commission and these men may
be considered closed The real object Of
the law has been followed, and the com
mission men are willing to accept the
result. 1t was never-the intention at any
time to impose an arbitrary rule regard
ing the bonds required. Our object was
to secure sufficient bond to protect the
consignors and guarantee honest transac-
tons

RAILROADS WIN.
Chicago stock Yards Terminal
Charges Declared Reasonable.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The action of the
interstate commerce commission In re-
straining the railroads running into the
Union stock yards from asking a ter
minal charge Of 81 per car was de-
clared unlawful by Judge. Kohlsaat, OF
the federal court. today. Judge Kohl
saat ruled that the charge was reason
able. The prayer Of the Interstate COM
merce commission that the court enforce
the order reducing the charge from 81 to
81 was dismissed for want of equity.
Judge Kohlsaat, in his decision, gives a
history OF the rates charged for trans
portation on the tracks of the Union
Stock Yards company and in declaring
the charge reasonable he finds that the
defendants only imposed this extra Zee
to cover the charges imposed by the
stock yards company for use of their
tracks. The court was not asked to pass
upon the legality of the Chicago rate
or charge for transportation up to the
terminals of the companys tracks. The
decision Is a decided victory for the
nine railroads running into the Union
stock wards
