per cent, for all countries which ex-
port these products impose an import
duty on them. But it was not enough.
The friends of this trustin the senate
land they are not s%carce) changed the
duty from 40 per cent. to a duty equal
to the duty imposed by such foreign
country" The duty levied by Russia,
the principal foreign exporting coun-
try, probably averages more than 40
per cent. as the oil trust well knew.
But the "nigger in the fence" in this
charge probably lies in the retaliation
club, which it gives our trust in its
fight with the Russian combine.
Heretofore there has been no al
lance, offensive or defensive. between
the Standard Oil trust and the Russian
trust. They divided up the world and
each agreed to keep off the others
territory. The Standard Oil company
has lately been getting aggressive and
intruding on the Russian trusts terri
tory, even into Russia itself, SO it is
said. Foreseeing trouble and a big
fight ahead our trust wished to be
forearmed with a reciprocity retalia-
tion protection club. Now, if the Rus
slams raise their duty to keep the
Standard Oil company out, they will,
automatically raise our duties to keep
Russian oil out of this country.
Besides, should the christian gen.
tlemen'' in our oil trust be sufficiently
trusted by the Almighty so that He
would give them absolute control OF
the petroleum mines~here, they might
sometime wish to charge us 20 cents
per gallon for oil, where they now
charge only eight or ten cents. 1t is
always well for the trust to have a lit
tie surplus protection in store for Q
possible emergency.

BIoodhounds on the Trail.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.-The man
hunt in southeastern Nebraska Jagged
Sunday, and the four highwaymen
who held up the Burlington train near
Lincoln early Saturday morning have
seemingly distanced their pursuers.
The heavy rain which fell Saturday
night and the drizzle up to moor Sun
day made the following of the trail
even with b~loodhounds out of the
question. The Burlington railroad de-
t%ectives and Lincoln policemen who
were beating about in Cass county
Saturday and Sunday night, aban-
doned the search and returned here
Sunday morning. Officers in every
town that the robbers might visit
are on the lookout, but at Burlington
headquarters the statement was made
that not an arrest was made during
the day. A house near Raymond,
Neb., is declared to be a rendezvous
of thieves and hard characters, and
some of its occupants have caused
the police much trouble. The theory
is that after the hold up the robbers
drove rapidly to this place and were
kept in hiding by their friends during
the day. One of the Raymond men
whom it is thought may have some
knowledge of the hold up, although
not actively connected with it, was
seen in the vicinity of the robbery
Friday. He but recently completed a

Hundreds Of Dollars
Spent In Vain---Pe-
ru-na Cured.

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
tits more often, however, the cause Of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases
of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, butuntil the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of 40
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna

full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

On the crest of a hill, midway be-
tween the city and the town of Wood
lawn, the engineer saw a red light
waved across the track and brought
the train to a standstill. Two men
sprang quickly into the cab, covering
Clayburg and his fireman with re-
volvers. They lost no time in giving
their orders and were just as prompt
ly obeyed. The express car was cut
from the balance of the train and
run ahead a short distance. They
found the door locked and, after

spouse, fired two or three shots into
the car. The door was then opened

disappeared in the darkness. The
passengers were not molested, mol
were the trainmen asked for their be

job occupied scarcely an hour. Thu

SOLDIERS KEPT BUSY.
Troops Needed ThrOughout Penn
sylvanin Coal Fields to
Quell Riots.

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Of the ten
anthracite coal producing counties of
Pennsylvania, state troops are camped
in five. Despite the presence of
the troops in these districts, riot
ing and general lawlessness continues
in the entire hard coal territory from
Forest City, Susquehanna county, on
the north, to Wililamstown, Dauphin
county, on the south, a distance of
more than 100 miles. The section of
the strike region in the vicinity of
Forest City, which has been compare
lively quiet ever Stree the strike be-
gan, was greatly wrought up Wednes-
day by crowds of strikers interfering
with and beating men who had re-
turned to work, and as a result Sheriff
Maxey. of Susquehanna county, has
asked Gov. Stone for troops to assist
him and other civil authorities to pre-
serve the peace.
While there has been no big general
riot, the disturbances have been of
such serious nature as to cause the
authorities much apprehension. Every
effort is being made by the sheriffs of
the several counties affected and the
troops to prevent disturbances from
growing to such an extent as to
cause bloodshed. Reports are COM
ing in from every section of
nonunion men and others being either
shot or dubbed. Houses of workmen
have been burned or dynamited, and
attempts have been made to hold up
coal trains or derail them.

THE CROP REPORT.
Conditions Prevailing Throughout
the Country as Reported to the
Agricultural Department.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Followingis
the agricultural departments weekly
summary of crop conditions:
1.-The temperature conditions were
generally favorable in all districts
east OF the Rocky mountains al
though the week was decidedly cool
In the south Atlantic states and Mis-
souri, valley. Heavy rains retarded
work in Florida, portions of the
central and west gulf states, and
portions of the upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, while a large
part OF the middle and south Allan
tic states needs rain for fall plow-
ing and pasturage. The middle and
southern Rocky mountain districts
have received abundant and much
needed rains. The week has been
generally cool on the Pacific coast,
with rainfall slightly in excess of the
average in portions of Oregon and
Washington. Frosts occurred in the
Rocky mountain districts. Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys, and
lake region, but were less damaging
than those of the previous week.
mo further material damage by
frosts has been sustained by the corn
crop during the week. The reports
indicate. however. that previous esti-
mates of injury by the frosts of the
18th and 18th have been conservative
~ stated and that large part of the
late crop over the northern dis
tricts has been very seriously in
jured. Over the southern portion of
the corn belt an exceptionally fine
crop is now assured.
1T will require about ten days to
mature late tobacco in Kentucky.
Elsewhere cutting has been finished
and the crop is curing satisfactorily.
I'm Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and portions of Illi-
nois the reports indicate a good yield
of apples of fine quality, but in the
Ohio valley, middle Atlantic states
and New England a generally light
yield is indicated.
"Plowing and fall seeding have pro-
crossed favorably except in portions
of the middle Atlantic states, where
the soil was too dry.

ABANDONS THE PLAN.
Opposition to Trusts Checks COnsoli-
dalton Scheme of Big Pack
ing Houses.


Chicago, Sept. 24.-The com bination
of the great packing houses of the
country, which has been under con-
sideration and in process of actual
formation for the last six months, has
been finally abandoned, at least for
the present. The decision not to CON-
plete the combina ton is due in large
degree to the attitude of the national
administration toward trusts as out
lined by President Roosevelt in his re-
cent speeches, and to the chance that
in the event of the consolidation con-
gress would remove the tariff on cat
tie. It is learned that final me ting
of the heads of the firms known as the
Big Four has been held, at which it was
agreed to end all negotiations at once.
