GORGEOUS CORONATION ROBE FOR
EDWARD VII.
over Three Thousand Diamonds and
Other Precious Stones on the
Costume-Queen Will
Also Look Regal.

LONDON, Dec. designs for the cor
onation robes have finally been decided
upon. King Edward will wear a cloth
f-gold underjacket, embroidered with
palm branches and the shamrock, rose
and thistle On the kings stole, the cross
of ST. George, the royal crown and the
rose, shamrock and thistle will be woven
in gold thread. His cape will be a magni-
ficent garment decorated with silver
eagles, fieur de lis and the national floral
emblems.
The queen will wear robes similar to
those of Queen Adelaide, which will be
brought to Marlborough house from
Brodie castle, where they are kept as heir
looms In spite of their age they are
in excellent condition. They are of black
velvet manufactured on hand looms,
deliberately embroidered and laced, having
gold trimmings and with huge hanging
sleeves. The coronation rites will last
four hours. After the sacrament has been
administered to the king he will discard
the church vestments and put on his state
robes.
Over 5000 precious stones, diamonds,
pearls, rubies, sapphires and emeralds
will be included in the kings crown.
There will be 1850 white diamonds, and
1,270 rose diamonds. The historic ruby
which the king of CASTLE gave the Black
Prince in 1867 and which was subsequently
worn by Henry V. at Agincourt is in the
center of the crown, placed in the heart
of a Maltese cross.

ORE RATE VIOLATION
BEEN INFORMED OF
1T
STAPLES LOOKING INTO IT
Judge Mills Says No Complaint Has
Been Filed Against the Opera
tors-Railroad Note and
Comment.

Chairman Mills, of the railway commits
sion, said yesterday that the commission
had not looked into the matter of the
alleged violation of the order issued by
it, by the iron ore roads regarding rates.
Mr.. Mills said the order was made some
time ago, and since that time the COM
mission has not taken the matter up at
all, and there have been no reports of
complaints from shippers in regard to any
violation of the order by any OF the
roads.
1t would be discourteous toward the
operators for me to say that there had
been any violation of the order" said Mr..
Mills to T he Clio e yesterday, for
I know nothing about the matter except
what 1 saw in a morning paper
Mr.. Mills declined to say anything fur
Their on the matter, claiming that he
knew nothing of it officially. The story
in the morning paper stated that the
roads were violating the order in regard
to Individual shippers and the docks.
It is claimed that the tariffs filed show
an evasion, and it is contended that the
order as issued by the commission, is
faulty. According to the report the mat
ter stands just exactly where it did be-
fore any agitation was started. The in
dividual is not considered in the schedule
of tariffs filed, which states specifically
that the tariff, as posted in stations, re-
fers only to freight on ore, destined
to points beyond Two Harbors ore docks,
and within the state of Minnesota"
No ore at all is treated in this state and
this rate does not include the schedule to
points where it can be treated. 1t is not
known what action the commission can or
will take in the matter.
Commissioner Staples is investigating
the matter and some report is likely to
be made during the week.

Survey of New Road From Ell Reno

Survey of New Road From Ell Reno
to Oklahoma City.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, Dec. S.
There is force of Rock Island survey
ors surveying route from Ell Keno to
this city, and they have reached point
only four miles from the city.
A gentleman who arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon stated that ne had
conversation with the foreman of the
corps, aid that the foreman stated that
they were surveyors belonging to the
Rock Island & Pacific railroad, and that
the corps was running a line from Ell
Reno into this city. parallel with the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, and
that the corps would probably reach
Oklahoma City before Sunday.
1t has been known for some time that
the Rock Island would eventually build
into this city though it was supposed
that the read would come from the
northwest rather than the west But
there is d rivalry between the Choctaw
and the Rock Island, and this rivalry has
lately been stimulated by8the Choctaw
building north from Geary into the Rock
Islands territory. 1t is also stated that
the Rock Island has endeavored to Sc
cure the c-.erol of the Choctaw,
and that its inability to. buy that road
had much to do with it's determination
to parallel 1t. 1t is said that the paral-
lei line will not stop at Oklahoma City,
but will be extended on to South Nc
AleSter.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Dis
ease, Catarrh.

ease, Catarrh.
Because catarrhal diseases are SO COM
mon and because catarrh is not rapidly
fatal people toe often overlook end neg
lect it until some incurable ailment de-
yelops as a result of the Neglect.
The inhamed condition of the mem
brane of the nose and threat makes a
fertile soil for the germs of Pneumonia
and Consumption, in fact catarrhal pneu-
monia and catarrhal consumption are
the most common forms of these dreaded
diseases which annually cause more
than quarter of the deaths in this
country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers, but very
few have any actual merit as a cure, the
only good derived being simply tenn
porary relief.
There is, however, very effective rem
edy recently discovered which is rapidly
becoming famous for it's great value in
relieving and permanently curing all
forms of catarrhal diseases, whether To-
Gated III the head, throat, lungs or stom-
ach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed of gum derived from the
Eucalyptus tree, and this gum possesses
extraordinary healing and antiseptic
properties. 1t is taken internally in the
form of a lozenge or tablet, pleasant TO
the taste and so harmless that little chill
oren take them with safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are some
times used, but are not so convenient
nor so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is found
in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which may
be found in any drug store, and any
catarrh sufferer who has tried douehes,
inhalers and liquid medicines will be
surprised at the rapid Improvement after
a few DAYS use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's which are composed of the gum OF
the Eucalyptus tree, combined with other
antiseptics which destroy the germs of
catarrh in the blood and expel the ca
tarrhal poison from the system.
DR. Ramsdell, in speaking of Catarrh
and its cure, says: After many expert
ments l have given up the idea of cur
ing catarrh by the use of inhalerS, wash
es. salves or liquid medicines. I have
always had the best results from Stuart
Catarrh Tablets; the red gum and other
valuable antseptics contained IN these
tablets make them, in my opinion, far
superior to any of the numerous catarrh
remedies SO extensively advertised. me
fact that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
sold in drug stores, under protection OF
a trademark, should not prejudice con-
scientious physicians against them, be-
cause their undoubted merit and harm
less character make them a remedy
which every catarrn sufferer may use
with perfect safety and the prospect of
permanent cure.
Fer colds in the head, for coughs, ca
tarrhal deafness and catarrh of the stom-
ach and liver, people who have tried
them say that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
are a household necessity.

CLASSIFICATION OF FREIGHT.
Interesting Table of What the Rail-
roads Carry.

No one has ever attempted to enumer-
ate the various kinds of persons carried
in passenger cars on a transcontinental
railway-such as how many men,
women and children; how many whites,
negro es, Indians and Chinese: how many
natives and foreigners; or how many
Democrats and Republicans.
III the matter of freight, though, the
various items carried are frequently tab
ulated, throwing side lights on the
products, industries and wants of widely
separated communities. One transcon-
tinental road, for example, during the
last fiscal year carried 3,4SO,000 tons of
agricultural products. 1,115,000 tons of an
imal products, 3435,000 tons of mineral,
SS5 900 tons of lumber, 1,225OOO tons of
manufactured articles. 100000 tons of
merchandise and 425,0OO tons of miscel-
laneous stuff The most important items
are in order named: Bituminous coal,
wheat live stock lumber, stone and SAND,
merchandise, corn, ores, fruits and vege-
tables cement and brick, -four and cot
ton
What is dug out of the ground equals
what is raised on top of it. Animal
products are nearly as important as man
ufactured articles. The least important
item is tobacco. The shipments of house
hold goods exceed those of liquors.
Agricultural implements are on a par
with wagons and carriages.

they know nothing of the transfer of a

1T is said that neither Mr. Gable nor

if any Rock Island stock has changed
