A FAILURE.
Commerce Commission
Annual Report.
Law a Dead Letter With Rail-
way Lines.
Man Dies in a Mysterious Manner
in a Bath Room.
MAN LOST IN MONTANA MOUNTAINS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-The an
aual report of the interstate commerce
commission transmitted to congress
today. renews the declaration made in
previous reports that in it's present
condition the act to regulate commerce
cannot be enforced. AS to remedial
legislation the commission renews the
statement in previous reports, that it
has little to suggest and nothing new
to propose" Referring to the commits
sion's recent investigations into the
movement of packing house products
and grain and grain products, the re-
port says:
That leading traffic officials of
many OF the principal railway lines
should deliberately violate the statute
law of the land and in some cases
agree with each other to do so; that it
should be thought by them necessary
to destroy vouchers and so manipulate
bookkeeping as to obliterate evidence
of transactions; that hundreds of thou
sands of dollars should be paid in un-
lawful rebates to few great packing
houses; that the business of railroad
transportation should to such an ex-
tent be conducted in open disregard of
law, must be surprising and Offensive
to all right minded persons. Equally
startling at least is the fact that own
err of these packing houses should
seemingly be eager to augment their
gains with the enormous amounts of
these rebates which they receive in
plain defiance of the federal statute"
The opinion is expressed that exist
ing laws should be SO amended that
every manager who desires to observe
them can do so without risk of sacri-
ficing their property. Some method
should be provided, it is suggested,
by which the government can exercise
in fact that control over the railway
rates and operations which courts
without number have asserted that it
possesses and which many persons
suppose it now exerts.

MADE THEM "DIG UP"
Peculiar Superstition Of the Sultan of
Turkey.

turkey.
A peculiar example or the distrust
of anything new and of the introduc-
tion of the methods of modern civiliza-
tion in Turkey may be seen in the re-
cent action of the sultan. His dread
of assassination keeps him a prisoner
all the year round, but on the 18th day
of Ramazan he must go to Stamboul to
kiss the Prophets mantle. The most
elaborate precautions are taken. The
route by which he goes is kept secret,
but generally he travels by railway to
point just outside the terminus at
Stamboul.
Beyond this the line is single, and a
somewhat complicated system of sig
nails worked by electricity was recent
ly established in order to avoid acci-
dents. There were more than forty
wires enclosed in three subterranean
cables.
This was pointed out to the sultan
this year, and he Immediately ordered
that the cables be taken up. The pos
sibility of serious danger was pointed
out if the signal system should be dis
organized and there was no time to
furnish a substitute, but his only con-
cession was that the cables might re-
on either side. This was consequently
done. and now the cables lie along the
permanent way.

Bath Room.

treasurer of the Graham Paper COM
pany, is dying, as the result of injuries
received in a mysterious manner in a
Turkish bath establishment last night.

charge of the bath house, who tells
conflicting stories, is under arrest. A
diamond ring worth s1,5UJ, and val
liable pin belonging to a brother has
been recovered from a hiding place in
the cellar of the bath house.
Cooper's injury consists of frac,
tured skull. A sledge hammer covered
with blood was also found in the cellar
Strother said that about midnight a
boy brought Cooper a note, which he
refused to answer. The boy went
away, and soon after a man and two
women entered. When he returned
from the cellar, where he had gone to
fix the fires, Strother said he found
Cooper unconscious.
Cooper did not regain consciousness
and died about 10 O'Clock. Cooper was
the owner of the bath house where the
assault was committed. He was con
sidered one of the wealthlest men in
St Louis.

FEDERAL OFFICE HOLDERS BOLT.

The Merrill, Lincoln County, Adj
vocate, whose editor is postmaster,
refuses to support the republican
nominee for governor. The Advo-
Gates course is less reprehensible
than that of other semi-republican
papers, including the Darlington Re-
publican, whitewater Register, La
Crosse Republican, Beloit Free Press
and Plattevile Witness. all edited by
federal Office holders, which, while
they pretend to support the repub-
lican state ticket, miss no opportu-
nifty to reprint slurs on Governor La
Toilette, and to covertly antagOnize
the policies and principles of which
he is the champion. As the cam
paign progresses, it grows more and
more apparent that the federal Of
ficials are in league to defeat the
purposes Of the republican party of
Wisconsin, as expressed by an over
whelming me iority in state conven-
ton. If retaliatiye effect is felt in
the national campaign OF 1904, these
federal officials will be answerable
for it.
