with the dedication of the mammoth
foundry building of the Morgan En-
gineering Company, one of the chief

Canton. o.. Oct %. lsoo.-My Dear
Sir: Your favor Of recent date is re-
5ceived, inviting me TO be present at the
republican mass meeting TO be held this
evening in the new foundry building of
the Morgan Engineering Company.
II recall that for more than twenty
years 1t was my habit to meet annual
ly the people of Alliance and vicinity in
political discussion. Many times in that
period / have addressed workingnen In
the old shops of the company.
With the memories of these forme,
meetings I deeply regret to find thai
my engagements Will prevent me from
being present, for 1t would be real
pleasure for me to greet my old friends
on an occasion like this, which marks
the Industrial progress of Alliance se-l
| ~. ,1ro
of the republican party, for he in,
dorsement of which you meet tonight.
| This great addition to your COM
fpany's plant is a happy omen for Amer
lean labor and a practical demonstra-
ton of a prosperous business. Such eX-
tensions of Industry indicate widening
markets and increasing prosperity,
while they insure a larger demand for
the labor of the workingmen and addi-
ltional comforts fpr their homes Amer
Iican labor and capital working hand in
| hand are of mutual advantage and iI
lfriendly cooperation will secure indus
trial triumphs as yet unknown. / have
no sympathy with those teachings
which incite envy and hatred among
| our people and would divide them into
| hostile camps.
! May this great meeting stamp with
I its disapproval the wicked doctrine of
class distinction, which has no place in
our free government, and mark a dis
tinct advance in good relations between
temployer and employed. Permit me to
congratulate the Morgan Engineering
Company, its great body of workers,
and all gathered at this meeting, upon
/ the encouragement which such an as
senblage gives to the cause of sound
money, protection and national honor. :

Ia grippe, which affected her kidneys
and the auxiliary organs, leaving them

result was annoyed curing the day, and
her rest frequently disturbed during
the night. / saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised for such troubles and went

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT NOTED.
Iowa Central and Santa Fe In the
Deal,

Deal.
Speaking of the reported traffic ar
rangements between the Iowa Central
and the Santa Fe lines. Edward Haw-
ley, president of the Iowa Central and
Minneapolis and st. Louis roads, says:
1T is true that negotiations are pend
ing for a traffic arrangement between
the Iowa Central and the Santa Fe,
but they are not sufficiently advanced
to Justify the giving of details at this
time. There is little doubt, however,
that an arrangement will be made of
advantage to both companies. Altho
the Minneapolis and st. Louis is not
directly interested in the proposed ar
rangement, it should in the natural
order of things benefit thereby" Mr..
Hawley has said that there was no
probability of the Illinois Central's
coming into control Of the Minneapolis
& st. Louis.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMpL EXON.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfpurinp 1,i1nrles.

Who Compounds Drinks in Advance.

Deputy Revenue Collector s. L. Vest
is in receipt of three opinions from the
commissioner of internal revenue
touching the taxation of banks sur
plus, receipts given for the payment
of storage, and retail liquor dealers
who compound drinks in advance Of
ORDERS
Following is the gist of each decis-
ion:
Surplus of Bank.
''If any part of the surplus of bank
is set over to the account of profit and
loss or undivided profits it must still
be taken into account In reckoning the
special tax of the bank. Even actual
undivided profits, if they are by formal
action of the bank authorities ordered
to be employed in the banking bust
ness instead of being divided among
estimating the amount of special tax
the bank is required to pay"
Receipts.
"a receipt given for the payment of
storage, after storage has ceased, is
not taxable as warehouse receipt, but
that bill for storage rendered at the
time the goods are received on storage
or during the continuance OF such
storage, is an acknowledgment that
certain goods have been received and
are held on storage. and requires a
25-cent stamp as warehouse receipt"
Retail Liquor Dealer.
"a retail liquor dealer who COM
pounds drinks for sale in advance OF
orders therefor, even if he does not
put them up in bottles or jugs, is re-
CURED to pay special tax as a recti-
fer"
