A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
.bout ..Blood Purifiers and Tonic.


Every drop of blood. every bone. nerv,
and tissue in the body can be renewed IA
but one way, and that is. from wholesome
food properly dgested. There is no other
way and the idea that medicine in itself
can purify the blood or supply new tissues
and strong nerves Is ridiculous and on
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or
indigestion Is germ disease or that other
fallacy, that weak stomach which re-
fuses to digest food can be made to do go
BY irritating and infamIng the bowels
by pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure lndiges-
ton, sour stomach. gas, and bioating at
ter meals, because they furnish the d!Ges-
tive principles which weak storachs lack
and unless the efficiency OF pepsin ana
diastase is supplied. it Is useless to at
tempt to cure stomach trouble by the use
Of tones. - pills and .'cathartics" which
have absolutely no digestive power. ana
their only effect is to give temporary
stimulation.
One grain OF the active principle in
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 1000
grains Of meat. eggs and similar foods.
and experiments have shown that they
will do this In glass bottle at proper
Temperatures but OF course are much moro
effective in the stomach.
There is probably no remedy so univer-
sally used as Stuart's Tablets. because 1t
is not only the sick and ailtng. but well
people who use them at every meal to
insure perfect digestion and assimilation
of the food.
People who enjoy fair health take
Stuart.s Tablets as regularly as they take
their meals. because they want to keep
we'll: prevention Is better than cure. and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both. they
prevent indigestion. and they remove It
where 1t exists. The regular use of one
or two oc them after meals will demon
strate their merit and efficiency hattaR
than any sthe argument

rioEs CInsses-The Winners

The only demonstration OF dissatisfac-
ton at the judges awards was made when
the blue ribbon was given to Mrs. Young
pair of brown geldings in the pair horse
class The disapproval of the spectators
OF at least decided portion of them. was
manifested by continued kissing. To fur
Their show their disp!ea assure, the spectators
heartily cheered Mr.. Vests pair when
they were driven around the arena after
the decision had been given
The rebuke to the judges was not de-
served. While Mr.. Vests pair were
splendid actors. moving together in SUI
perb style they lacked the general good
appearance that marked Mrs. Young's
pair. Fashion and Whirl were too badly
matched in color to rank above Step-a-
Fit and Act-a-Bit-a pair beautifully
mated.

alI-round action of Act-a-Bit Mrs
yc.'nr's brown gelding. caught the popu-
ncy at once. and while there was
, demonstration in Act-a-Bits ia
e temper of the spectators was
' N his favor. and when the blue
ribbon was pinned on him he was greet
ed with cheers.
Colonel Barton Grundy's Nizam took
the rcd ribbon. and earned 1t, notwith-
standing he was against such ribbon
winner as Wyeth & Vests Fashion. The
latter captured the yellow ribbon. and Mr..
Langbourne Williams Alexandra re-
ceived the white The latter was out
classed by his competitors as a horse, and
the appointments were not finished
enough for the company.
Mr. Henry Grant, with Windward. was

Illinois Packers Have the
Control of the Poultry
Market
ALSO RULE EGG PRICES
Result of Existing Corner and High
Prices Is That State Will Be
Asked to Regulate Cold
Storage Houses.
Special to The Globe.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Three great firms
have practically complete control of the
poultry market. Through the ownership
Of two-thirds of all the poultry in the
country they are said to be able to fix
prices at Will.
The firms having control are: Armour
& Co, Swift & Co., and Prieb & Semiter,
of Bushnell, III. All over the Western
states, in Omaha, Kansas City, St 10
sepn, Chicago and in hosts Of small
towns these firms have cold storage
plants. The South Water street esti-
mate is that they have 100000 case of
poultry, of about 100 pounds each. IN cold
storage. Their profit has already been
immense.
South Water street commission mer-
chants are not unanimous in attributing
the higher prices of eggs and butter to
the power Of these firms, but it is gener-
ally known that Swift and Armour are
leaders in buying eggs for cold storage,
and already 10000 cases have been placed
away in Chicago alone.
The problem is regarded as not one Of
a trust or comination so much as it is
of the effect which the perfection of cold
storage methods and the great extension
Of its use within the last three years
has had upon the produce trades.
Already discussion is active as to the
possibility of gaining public control over
the cold storage business by state law
enforcing public reports at least one a
week.

Chicago Live Stock Dealers
Object to the Existing
Tariff
FORMAL COMPLAINT IS IN
Freight Charges on Cattle Are Con-
sidered Too High Compared
to That on Live Stock
Products.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Formal complaint
has been made by the Chicago Livestock
exchange, charging the twenty-six rail-
roads composing the Western Trunk line
committee with making unjust and dis
eliminating rates on live stock shipped
from Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Wis
consin to Chicago.
The document has been filed with the In
terstate commerce commission and is
signed by I. w. Tomlinson, secretary Of
the exchange. The commission has sent
copies of the complaint to the traffic of
ficials of the lines interested demanding
answers under oath to the questions
asked The answer in nearly every case
is essentially the same and denies the al
legations.
Summarized the charges are that the
roads mentioned are making rates on live
stock to Chicago which are unreal enable
and unjust when compared with the rates
published on livestock products
These rates, it is claimed, are in viola
ton Of the interstate commerce act,
which prohibits rate discrimination. 1t is
further charged that the rates com
planned of operate to the disadvantage and
prejudice OF the livestock raisers in the
states named, when transporting from
Kansas City, South st. Joseph, South
Omaha, Sioux City, South St. Paul and
points east to Chicago
Lastly, 1T Is charged that the rates now
IN force initiate against the Chicago live
stock exchange and against Chicago as
a market for live stock. The principle
contended for by the live stock exchange.
according to traffic officials, would become
impossible of carrying out if applied to
the entire country. 1t is claimed by the
exchange that live stock coming to Chi
cago Should bear the same rate as the
chicago proportion of the through rate
on liye stock destined for the seaboard.
For example, the rate on I've stock for
Chicago from Missouri river points is
2312c. The proportion of the through rate
taken by Chicago roads on live stock
destined from Missouri river points to the
seaboard is 1S12c. If the rates were made
the same. it would mean that all through
rates would have to be combinations of
local rates, and under such a rule the
seaboard rates would be prohibited to all
the country west of the Missouri river.

ARREST MONTANA MAN
FOR PRESTON MURDER
James Noonan Is Charged With
Having Killed n Man in Min
nesota in 1874.

HELENA, Mont, April 22-James
Noonan, VINO has lived in Helena fifteen
cr- twenty years, was arrested today on
the charge of having committed mur-
der in Preston township, Fillmore coun-
ty, Minnesota, Oct. IS, 1874.
1t is charged that Noonan, known in
Minnesota as Patrick Noonan, killed John
Simmer. The authorities had given up
ever finding the murderer until recently,
when there arrived in Preston man from
Montana, former resident of the town
ship, who had been working here.
He told of having met a man named
Noonan who corresponded in appearance
with the Patrick Noonan who killed Shin
ner. The grand jury soon afterward met
and the man from Montana was called
before the jury. An Indictment was re-
turned April charging murder in the
first degree.
Noonan is about ffty-seven years Of
age and is well known. He denies his
guilt and says a mistake has been made.

his view of the normal conditions exist

did not find Manila to be in the
strictest sense a moral city, but can
| truthfully say that in my opinion it is the
peer of any American city Of equal pop
ulation in the material of cleanliness and
order and I believe its moral tone to be
such as to fairly challenge comparison
with our best cities of 400, 900 population.
l believe that to revoke the anti-can-
teen law would be step backward
would respectfully recommend:
FIrst--A government appropriation for
the establishment Of soldiers institutes
and of non alcoholic features of the post
exchange system.
Second-A general order prohibiting the
sale of vino to soldiers
Third-The investigation Of the charges
against officers at Jolo, charged, 1 believe
justly, with maintaining houses of i'll
fame, without the knowledge of the war
department and contrary to army reg
ul2ticns.
