ANTI-COCAINE BILL.

The anti-cocaine bill in
troduccd in the house by
Representative r. H. Tay-
lor, of Garland county, is
to attract no little
attention. The author of
the measure is a physician
and it is in such capacity
that he has been enabled to
note the evils Of the cocaine
habit, which his bill seeks to
check.
ID. my BILL" said DR.. Tay-
lor, yesterday, simply seeks
to include cocaine in the list
of prescribed poisons, to pre-.
vent it's indiscriminate sale
and, con6ne its medical use
under the direction of physi.
clans. The constant in,
crease in the use of this
dangerous.drug is becoming
truly alarming, The sale3of
coca leaves in New York in
1891 was a little lesS' than
$40, GOO. In 1897. the sales
aggregates the sum Eof, $50
600 and in 1898 reached SIS

ly in the wood. All the fury
of his nature, all the hate he
feels for his enemy, he can
infuse into the axe-handle;
and how the chips will fly!
Not very artistically, prob
ably, but they will fly. And
presently it dawns upon the
man that he is experiencing
a change of heat. He does
not hate his enemy at all.
He changes his stock, and
begins to chop on the Italian
system of penmanship- the
up strokes heavy and the
down strokes light. He
rather loves his enemy now.
At last he puts all his failing
strength in one terrific blow.
He misses the tip with the
axe, and snlites the chopplng-
block with the axe handle.
A tingle as though he had
swallowed an alarm clock
goes from elbow to hip and
back again, the axe drops
from his powerful hands,
and a weak, limp, nerveless,
perspiring, trembling, gasp
ing thing, he staggers to the
house, lies down on the first
thing that looks like a lounge,
and is ready to die. There
isn't a care or a falter in his
heart. Death has no terrors,
and life has no temptations
for him. He has chopped
out all his baser nature, and
he is just as ethreal and
spiritual as he can be on this
side Of Jordan. It is a great
medicine. Duftlettta.

glance at me, he took my companion aside,

Suddenly turning, he held out to me an arm

smile which disclosed a magnificent set of

THE RAILROADS..

Earnings Of American railroads con-
tlnuc to show increases over cores
pondin6 periods OF last year. and
twelve months ago they were consid-
cred phenomenal. Increases. as COM
pared With Il year ago. therefore. in
dicatc remarkably good business for the
common carriers, better. in fact, than
they ever before have enjoyed.
Another evidence of unusually good
business is the constant great demand
for cars. a demand which many of the
roads. both Of the east and the west.
have difficulty in meeting. There are no
ear famincs," but the traffic offered is
taxing the equipment OF all the roads to
the utmost. 1t was expected that the
great rush would be over with the holi-
days. but SO far there has been no evil
deHce even OF Il decrease.
What is even more remarkable Is the
fact that all freight which Is moving
now is going nj full tariff rates. Since
the first Of the year no evidence OF Il
CUT freight rate has developed among
the eastern lines. The lines OF the west
had Il meeting In Chicago Friday to
consider the situation. and II Is report
cd that the closest investigation failed
TO bring to light single instance OF de-
moralization. II is the opinion Of the
freight men. too. tia: this condition
will continue. There are no agree
mcnts. no traffic associations with pow
er. no artificial barriers to free compe-
tition. The very fact that they may not
raise these barriers Is making the rail-
roads extremely conservative and this
fact is relied upon to prevent secret re-
auctions. All in all tine situation Is con-
sidercd better than It has been for
years.
