LETTER TO MIR. KNOX
H. 3. MARTIN AGAIN BEGINS
 coRREsPoNDENcE 2
He Desires to Know What Has Been Done by the Attorney General F
 Toward the Suppression of the Trusts.

Washington, Jan. 23--H. B. Martin, as Chairman of the joint Committee of the American Antitrust League and District G. Knights of Labor, today sent Attor- ney General Knox q letter requesting him to inform the Committee what your conclusions were in regard to the peti- ton requesting action by the department of justice against certain unlawful trusts which our committees filed with you Sep tember 6, 1901, and which remain unan- swered. We further call your attention to the fact that in your letter of Sep- tember Il, 1901. in answer to the petition of this Committee, you made this specific promise: I will examine these papers with care at as early a date as possible This promise remains unified"
 The Committee desires to amend its pc tition by adding . new section relating to the organization of the Northern &c., curities Company and alleges 1t was formed flor the purpose of restraining and monopolizing the interstate Railroad trade and commerce of a large part of stitution and laws of the United States. V This action, the letter says, is a second offense of the same character by the same men and corporations within few months and warrants and demands prompt action by the department of jus- tice, in order that the interests of the people may be protected"
 The letter also calls attention to the fact that on December 21 last the Com mittee presented to President Roosevelt certain documents containing charges and evidence regarding Eastern railroad associations and that the President said he would call the attention of the Attor- ney General to the matter. A request Is made for information as to what has been done.

He has left to the committee the ar rangement of the details of the general work on these. particularly upon the contracts to be made with the railroad agents for the hauling of the train which will be engaged by the government for the journey of the Prince This train will be made up of six cars of the fin- est description, and one will be set apart for the exclusive accommodation of the Prince. The press will be cared for as far as the limited space will permit. It 1t now proposed to take the distinguished visitor as far into the South as Chatta- nooga. as far West as St. Louis and as far North as Milwaukee on one side and Boston on the other
 The Prince will arrive in New York on Saturday and will spend his first Sunday in America quietly in that city, paying a visit to Grants tomb, in Riverside Park. He will leave after midnight, ar irving in Washington about half past 10 o'clock on Monday morning. He will made up of a squadron of cavalry and a battery of artillery. both from Fort Myer. With this escort he will proceed to the German Embassy and a detail of engineers from the Washington bar racks will be named as special guard night as long as the Prince remains here.

RENTFRow STOCK COMPANY.
Large Audience Was Well Pleased
 at McDonald's.

The Grace Rentfrow Stock Company pleased large audience at McDonald' s Theatre last night with a presentation of "A True Kentuckian." a four-act sem sational drama. Specialties were intro- duced between the acts and the enter- tainment was received with enthusiastic applause.
 This company enjoys distinction of having a playwright among its players. The drama produced last night Is the work of Miss Sadie Cregan and singular as 1t may seem Miss Cregan played the part of the female villain. It is worthy of note that she played It well. Miss Cregan has also written "The Avenger," For Family Honor and "'Twixt Love and Duty" plays that are now included in the repertoire of the Rentfrow com pany. None of these plays appear to possess any high degree of literary value. but they serve to please large audiences and after all this is the goal sought by writers of plays.
 Harry King in the play last night: gave d very clever character sketch of negro servant, and Miss Helene Reicka, who is pretty little woman, played a rather difficult part in a most satisfactory manner
 The specialties of Miss Rentfrow. Miss Reicka and Messrs. King and Bailey were so good that the audience demand ed more of 1t and got it. The bill for tonight is The Golden Giant Mine"

'Prevaiency of Kidney Trouble

So prevalent and deceptive is kidney trouble that it very often becomes well advanced before it is even suspected. lookout Should you be i'll. or not feel ing we'll, it would be wise to first pay attention to the kidneys and ascertain if they are the cause of your trouble.
 A simple method of finding out if your kidneys are at fault has often been called to the attention of our readers through Dr. Kilmcr's Swamp Root advertising in the colmuns of this paper, and 1t Is now repeated for the benefit of those who may be interested. Viz: Fill a bottle with urine and set aside for twenty-four hours or so, and if 1t shows a brick-dust sediment or cloudy appearance. or if the urine Is scanty or profuse. or If 1t is found necessary to go often through the day, or get up many times during the night. you may be sure your kidneys need attention
 After careful inquiry we find pr. kil- mer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. is remarkably successful in the quick relief and cure of the diseases for which 1t Is recommended There is hardly a drug store in the land that does not keep. and highly recom- mend this celebrated preparation for kid ney, liver and bladder troubles.
 By special arrangement every reader of The Montgomery Advertiser may have a sample bottle of pr. Kilmer's s Swamp Root by mall, free. df they have not already had one), by sending their address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bingham ton, N. Y. -adv.
