PROPOSED PACKERS TRUST.
Attorney General Knox Has Mature
Plans to Control.
BY USE OF ACTION LAST MAY.

Washington, Nov. a2,-The beef
trust will find the government ready
to meet it whenever the evidence is
presented that the packers have formed
combination under one corporation.
The reports that have come from Chi
cago from time to time regarding The
intention of the packers to organize ON
the same basis as the steel trust, have
prompted the department of justice to
make an investigation and be prepared
to act without delay whenever the pa
pers of the corporation are fled
1t is not the intention of the depart
ment to proceed against the beef trust
under the Sherman law, to show that
the trust is illegal, but simply to go
into court with proceedings OF con-
tempt and show that the parties to the
organization are in contempt of the
United States Circuit court for the
northern district of Illinois and its
injunctions against the packers granted
last May. This plan has been consid-
cred by the Attorney General and his
assistants and they regard it as an
effective barrier to any further pro-
ceedings for combinations of the pack
ers in restraint of trade or competition.
The proceedings against the beef
trust last spring seem to prohibit the
packers from entering into an unlawful
agreement and conspiracy to destroy
all competition in the purchase OF live
stock and in the sale of dressed meats.
1t is said that the packers have some
intimation as 20 the intentions of the
department of justice and that the va
rious delays in effecting their organiza-
ton and announcing the incorporation
of the trust have been due to their in
ability to find way of evading con-
tempt proceedings. They will first have
to GO into court and attempt to have
the injunction lifted before they can
legally organize into a trust without
being subject to continuous contempt
proceedings and the danger of being
sent to prison for contempt of court.

WHY Freight Rates Advance.

New York, Nov. 24.-At meeting
of executive officials of central freight
lines, the trunk lines and southern
roads held at the Trunk Line Associa-
tion's headquarters in this city, rates
in the territory controlled by the assoc
citation have been generally advanced.
One of the reasons given for this ac-
ton was the general advance in wages
to employees 1t was also pointed out
that if there ever was need of cutting
rates to secure business there certainly
is no necessity for such action now.

strikes Especially st Italy.

Rome, Nov. 22.-The Tribunal, COM
menting on the proposed new law of
the United States to stop the immigra-
ton of illiterates, says this measure is
a new cruel offense to Italy. The
Journal urges the government to make
a protest to the United States govern
ment inasmuch as the proposed measure
will strike especially at Italy, whose
immigration comprises so per cent of
illiterates. The paper says that Italy
must obtain a veto on the bill so as to
at least postpone the bill.

Kansas College Endorsed

Lansing, Mich, Ncv 22.-The report
of the committee on education of the
National Grange, which was referred
back several days ago for further con-
sideration, was reported in amended
form and adopted after considerable
discussion. The report adheres to the
original Endorsement of centralized

of agricultural colleges for failure to
fulfill their mission those of Michigan,
Kansas and Iowa.

Butte, Mont, Nov. 2o.-Advices re-

is still raging in Senator Clark's famous
United Verde mine in Arizona. Car
bonic acid is being forced into the

CAN COMMENCE ON CANALy.
Last Obstacle For The Panama
Route Is Removed.
WILL TAKE 10 OR IS YEARS.

Washington, Nov. @1.-Practically
the last obstacle to the completion of
negotiations for the Panama canal
route has now been removed. If all
goes well the president will be able to
incorporate in his message to congress
positive statement to the effect that
the United States is now in position
where it can go ahead and begin actual
operations on the interoceanic canal.
The minister of Colombia, who took
It upon himself to delay negotiations,
has received from his government
sharp reminder that it is his principal
business to secure canal treaty, and
that he is not expected to concern him
self at all with the home government
The result is that Secretary Hay and
Minister Concha have reached the basis
of an agreement, and the treaty will
probably be signed before congress
meets.
If not, a portocol or basis of agree
ment will be signed which will take
the place of the treaty for the time
being. Together with the assurance
of an agreement between the two
countries, the president will also
transmit to congress the summary of
q report by Attorney General Knox
showing that the title to be received
from the French company is all that
could be expected.
1t is estimated that it will take some
where in the neighborhood of ten or
fifteen years to build the big ditch
The operations of the French COM
pany will on the whole result in the
saving of two or three years in the
building of the canal
This question of rental has been sat
isfactorily adjusted and the Colombian
government agrees to lease strip OF
country from ocean to ocean to the
United States. Political sovereignty
will be retained in Colombia, but the
United States will have really as much
control of the property as tenant as
it would as a sovereign.

THE BLOOD.

The blood Is life. We derive from
the blood life. power. beauty and rea-
son, as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body. fresh appearance. and gener-
ally all the abilities we possess de-
pend on that source Of life. 1t Is
therefore the duty of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and
normal as possible. Nature, in its
infinite wisdom, has given us a Their
mometer indicating the state Of the
blood, which appeals to our reason by
giving notice of it's impurity. Small
eruptions of the skin, to which we
scarcely pay any attention, headache,
ringing noises In the ears, lassitude,
sleeplessness, are generally a sign
that the blood is not in its normal
state, but is filled with noxious SUBJ
stances. These symptoms deserve
our full attention. II more attention
were paid to those symptoms, and
steps taken to remove them, then
many illnesses from which we suffer
would become unknown and the hui
man body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should
be paid to those warning signs, and
the blood can be purified and poison
GUS substances removed from 1t by the
use of DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg
Drops, discovered more than so years
ago.
