| Will Cure You Of
r heu f1atiisf IN
Else No Money Is Wanted.

After 1000 experiments, I have
learned how to cure Rhemumatism.
Not to turn bony joints into flesh
again; that is impossible. But can
cure the disease always, at any stage,
and forever.
I ask for no money. Simply write
me a postal and 1 will send you an or
der on your nearest druggist for six
bottles DIR. Shops Rheumatic Cure,
for every druggist keeps 1t. Use It
for month and, If it succeeds, the
cost is only $3.50. 1t it fails, I will
pay your druggist myself.
l have no samples, because any
medicine that can affect Rheumatism
quickly must be drugged to the verge
of danger. I use no such drugs, and
it is folly to take them. You must
get the disease out of the blood.
My remedy does that, even in the
most difficult, obstinate cases. No
matter how impossible this seems to
you, I know it and I take the risk.
I have cured tens of thousands of
cases in this way, and my records
show that SO out of 40 who get those
six bottles pay gladly.
I have learned that people In gen
eral are honest with physician who
cures them. That is all I ask. If I
fail I don't expect a penny from you.
Simply write me a postal card or
letter. I will send you my book about
Rheumatism, and an order for the
medicine. Take it. for month, as it
won't harm you anyway.
II it fails, it is free, and I leave the
decision with you. Address DR.. Shoop,
Box 761, Racine, Wis.
Mild cases, not chronic, are often
cured by one or two bottles. At all
druggists.

CONSOLIDATION IN MEXICO.
Government Buys Railroad to Prevent
Monopoly.

MEXICO CITY, Mex, Oct Gel Econ
omista MeXicana, the leading weekly Of
the financial world, which reflects official
views to some extent, has an article on
the recent purchase by the government
of the controlling interest in the Inter-
oceanic railway between this city and the
Port of Vera Cruz. Ell Economista
traces the growing power of great rail-
way companies here, increasing continu-
ally by consolidation and purchases of
connecting lines, and declares that the
Mexican Central railway, with its new
acquisitions, is at the head of one group,
while the National railroad whose gauge
is being widened, belongs to another.
First is the Rockefeller group, and sec
ond is the Speyer group.
The Speyer group is said to have been
contemplating buying the control of the
Interoceanic railway, which would have
made the Mexican National railway very
powerful in railway affairs here, and the
government determined to checkmate the
great American railway consolidators by
buying the Interoceanic for itself and so
preventing the approach Of monopoly,
which 1t claims to have foreseen in trans
portation.
1t might, says Ell Economista, have
been specifically judged that with the
Mexican Central group on one side and
the Speyer group on the other there
could not. be peril from lack of compe-
tition in railway rates, but recent Amer
lean history shows that great rivals often
combine interests and make the public
defenseless.

A BIG, FAT SWEET POTATO
EXPLODED LIKE A BOMB
Woman Injured by Singular Accident
While Cookinn Dinner

GARDNER, Oct. g. Mrs. Jesse
Paine, Crawford street, suffered a Sc
we're burn on her face from the most
peculiar accident that has been report
ed in long time. Mrs. Paine was re-
moving a large baked. sweet potato
from the oven for her husbands din
ner when the potato exploded with the
noise of a pistol.
Pieces of potato skin hit her face in
several places, cutting painful gashes
and burning her badly. One eye was
turned black and blue by the force of
the blow, and a physician had to be
summoned to attend to Mrs. Paine's
injuries.
It is supposed that the potato was
hollow, and that the moisture in the
cavity made it possible for steam to
be generated. The jar caused by the
dropping of the hot potato into the
dish caused it to break just as Mrs.
Paine was handling it

somebody else. then took it upon
myself to tell some of the habitues Of
the smoking room what I knew about
a certain passenger, but they only
laughed at me.
But a day or two later a wild-eyed
person hurried up to me, turned his
pockets inside out, and excitedly said
that there was something wrong with
that poker game-one man getting all
the money-holding four queens most
every hand; couldn't detect anything
out of the way, but he knew there was.
Wouldn't I come in and take seat
near certain player and keep espion-
age on him., particularly his sleeves? L
thought it over, and concluding that it
was none of my business to play de-
tective, I refused to do anything of the
sort.
Triumph of the West.
.But it appears there was another
person on board who took an active In
terest in the matter. Who he is l do
not know, except that he is West
erner and that no winged insects perch
on him when he is engaged in playing
poker.
HE was brought in the game, and
very soon came bulletins that things
were happening in the smoking room.
The next / heard was big row, occa-
stoned by my card sharp friend want
ing to give a check for $500 that he
had lost. 1t seems that he had run
against four kings with only his IA
vorite four queens, and had been di-
vested of not only his big winnings,
but all the rest Of the money he had
with him How they settled it I don't
know.
"This know, that this sharp, wear
ing that chastened look which comes
from meeting Westerners at poker,
came to me this morning and asked my
opinion as to whether the number Of
the pilot boat would be odd or even.
I guessed that it would be even, where
upon he wanted to bet me that it would
be odd-probably wanting to retrieve
some Of his losses on an even chance
bet. But I refused to bet, and lucky
for him didn't, as he would have lost
again, providing he had anything left
to lose"

He Says There Are No Party Lines in
This Work and That Minnesotans

and SouI-President Walsh Gives a
Forcible Address.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Oct 6.
The tenth National Irrigation con-
gress opened this afternoon under cir
cumstances especially suspicious.
Great significance is lent to the con-
gress this year through the fact that
the irrigation movement has been taxi
en- out of the sphere of merely a prop
uganda and given a national import
ance, through the action Of the last
congress in passing bill authorizing
the proceeds from the sale of state
lands to be used for irrigation pur-
poses in the several states.
The indications are that the con-
gress will be the most largely attended
in its history. President Roosevelt
sent the following letter, which was
read:
Accept my hearty good wishes.
Nothing has been done in which
have taken greater interest during my
administration than the inauguration

Later in the day all the other firms
were notified that they would have to
meet the same situation tomorrow I'M

A special order union meeting was

lar pledges were given, over 5000 men,
women and girls agreeing to enter the

Conflicting Claims as to the Result on
Work at the Mines. q 49,

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 6.-With the
whole division of the national guard
in the field, there will be twenty-three
soldiers for each of the 43O mining
operations and a little more than one
Tor every two men now at work about
the mines. 4t 10
There is no settled opinion here as
to what effect the calling out fof the
whole guard will have. The operators
have maintained all along that it would
break the strike by inducing to return
to the mines thousands of men who
they assert are only deferred now from
so doing by fear of violence. The strike
leaders have been saying the calling
ouNt of the third brigade had no ten
dency to break the strike, but on the
other hand. that it has had the effect of
lettering men from returning to work,
in support of which assertion they
point to the fact that before the troops
came to Lackawanna county, two
weeks ago, twenty collieries and
twenty washeries were opened up,
while only two colleries have made
start since. The present week will, it
is believed, put the rival claims to a
definite test

RATS AND EGGS FELL
THREE HUNDRED FEET
Glasses Unbroken, Rats Unhurt, Water
UnspiIIed, Oniy Three Euus Cracked


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 6.-Two
rats were the only passengers on a rec
rd-breaking elevator drop of 800 feet
in city hall tower. The animals were
none the worse for their rapid trip.
Their survival, with the unbroken con-
dition of eggs and frail tumblers that
were in the car at the time bore evil
dence to the effectiveness of the air
cushions applied to the elevator just
constructed in the tower.
The trial was made in the presence
of a score of spectators, who occupied
platform at the top of the air cushion,
eighty-fi five feet above the bottom of
the shaft. The safety cushion is an
enclosed portion of the lower section Of
the shaft.
When the rope was cut the car shot
by the spectators on the platform at
the rate of two miles a minute. Clouds
of dust were thrown out, but there was
no jar as the car struck the air well
with booming noise and was gradu-
ally brought to stop at the bottom.
1t occupied about seven seconds in
falling. The rats were safe and sound,
but scared. The water was not spilled
and only three eggs were cracked.

The first gun in the battle royal be-
tween the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce and the bucket shops in the
city was fired when the order forbid
ding the Western Union Telegraph
company to furnish the bucket shops
with continuous quotations direct from
the pit was carried into execution yes
terday morning.
The conditions which have rendered
such q step necessary have been con-
stantly growing worse for the last two
years until today the bucket shops
have materially reduced the legitimate
business carried on in the Chamber OF
Commerce. The fact that bucket shops
charge one-siXteenth commission for
handling. orders instead of one-eighth
per cent charge of the board of trade
naturally attracts those who merely
wish to gamble upon the turn of the
market.
When the board of trade began bus
mess yesterday morning the big quo
tation clock, which silently registers
the rise and fall Of wheat from its
conspicuous position above the quota
ton board was yelled behind a news
paper. Quotations from Chicago, KAN
sas City, st. Louis and New York were,
as usual, posted upon the board, but
not a quotation from the local pit was
registered.
Gives Much Trouble.
AS a matter of fact the men on the
floor suffered more inconvenience than
did the bucket shops at which the
blow was aimed. The cash men, who
always keep their weather eye on the
option to govern cash sales, were much
annoyed and were obliged to keep
sending messengers to the bowling
mob in the pit to ascertain how wheat
was doing. The bucket shop, on the
other hand, continued to do falrly
steady, if somewhat jerky, business.
1t is impossible to determine just
now where the leak is, but this much
is certain, that the commission bro
kers got their quotations without any
material interference with their bust
ness. With some twenty telephones on
the floor of the chamber it is not dith-
cult for them to get word as to the
progress of events, and this is un-
doubtedly the way in which they got
their information. One Of the leading
members Of the chamber said yester-
day:
May Tear Out Telephones.
'oThis is only the beginning. If we
cannot head this business off one way
we shall most certainly have to do 1t
another. The next move will be TO
take out every telephone which is now
on the floor With the Western Union
held in check, the quotation CLOCK
screened and the floor telephones re-
moved 1 think the bucket-shoppers
e will have to get move on to find out
what we are doing. If that doesn't
fix them we will take further steps to
see that they do not get our quota
tons. We are in this fight to stay,
and if we cannot win out on the first
move we will stay with the game I'M
til we cam"

Upon examining the surroundings
Christie found a rope dangling from the

had been tied to one of the pillars sup

Climber had evidently reached the roof,
when interrupted, and quickly descending
had cut the rope and run.
