NOR. SECURITIES SUIT
It Drags Out It's Wearisome Length
in New York To-
day. ,,;..

New York. Nov 1.-the hearing in the
suit Of the United States to test the al
legged transfer Of control of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads to
the Northern Securities company was con-
tinued to-day in this city. The suit was
begun last January in st. Paul and F. G..
1ngersoll was appointed special examiner
to take testimony. The complainant,
who contends that the antitrust law has
been violated, has completed his case and
the hearing to-day is for the defense S
side.
Former Attorney General Griggs pre-
scented statement that for four years
prior to 1890 many Of the principal rail-
way companies Of the United States had
got control OF competing lines, and that
this fact was reported to the government
and known to congress at the time OF the
passage Of the Sherman antitrust act.
Solicitor General Richards objected to the
acceptance of official reports Of railroads
offered in support of Mr.. Griggs' state
ment, but they went into the record, the
Especial examiner having no power to rule.
Captain John P. Meany, editor OF a rail-
road manual, was called, and Mr.. Rich
ards objected to his testimony on the
ground that what was aimed at by 1t was
irrelevant. The solicitor general argued
that the antitrust law undoubtedly re-
fers to railroads and railroad comblna-
tons, and that If either railroad compa
MES had entered into such combination to
restrain trade, even before the passage
of the Sherman act, 1t was no defense for
any present violation Of the law.
Captain Meany testified as to how the
railroad manual Of which he Is editor is
compiled and Mr.. Griggs put In evidence
the manual for the years from 1871 to 1901
inclusive and the statistics OF railways
published by the interstate commerce
commission. Mr.. Richards renewed his
objection on the ground Of irrelevancy.
An adjournment was taken until Friday,
Nov. 81.
The case of the state Of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities company
will be discussed on the same day.

The Fight Is Thought to Be Between
Payne and Cannon.
Nes0 Yorb Sem SpeetuZ Service
Indianapolis, Nov. 1.-THE republican
congressman Of this state are beginning
to manifest much interest In the promised
fight for the national speakership. The
opinion Of most of the delegation seems
to be that Cannon, will be successful.
They say the fight lies between Mr.. Payne
and Mr.. Cannon. Congressman Overstreet
is regarded as favoring Babcock. Con-
gresham Holiday Of the Terre Haute
district thinks that Mr.. Cannon will be
the next speaker. He said:
I'm my opinion the fight will be between
Cannon and Serene e. Payne of New
York, with the chances in favor of the
former, believe that the far west and
middle west will be in favor Of Cannon
almost to man. Illinois has just gained
a republican congressman, while In New
York several republican congressman have
been lost. That will take away several
votes from Payne. His prestige stands
somewhat impaired because Of the mar
row escape from total defeat Of his party
in the recent election in New York. Presi-
dent and speaker should not be from the
same state"

A BULL DOG
Is Easier to Shake of than the Coffee
Grin

Is Easier to Shake OF than the Coffee
Grip.
A lady of st. Paul, Mimi. never drank
anything but cold water until she was
married, and then commenced to drink
coffee.
She says: about one year after our
marriage. my husband began to complain
of distress in his stomach and 1 had
such dizzy spells after each meal, that we
had to see doctor. We drank coffee
three times a day. but did not imagine
that coffee was causing all this distress.
The doctor said both our livers were out
of order, gave us some medicine. and told
us that we ought to break off drinking
coffee. We stopped it for while, but
missed the hot drink so much We both
went back to coffee. In five years time
lost complexion that was faultless and
gained a very bad stomach, and my hus
bands stomach was ruined. He thought
he had cancer of the stomach. or some
thing worse, but we had formed the habit
Of coffee drinking, and like drunkards
found it no easy matter to break off, al
though we knew it was killing both of us.
I'VE kept a grocery store at the time.
and a. lady called one day and asked for
Postum Food Coffee, saying: My children
like it; will not drink anything else, and
I know It is good for them, because they
never have trouble with their stomachs.'
This interested me, and told her about
nv bad stomach. She told me how to
make Postum, and we began its use our
selves.
After drinking it three times a day for
a week felt much better and my hus-
band declared that he felt like new man.
We have drank Postum for four years and
have never had one particle of stomach
trouble since. and have lost that sallow,
yellow color 1 so much disliked. and the
whites of my eyes are as clear as ever
again. I know it is because we left off
drinking coffee and drank Postum. can
eat anything and everything, and never
know have stomach. My husband used
to say L would ruin our coffee trade be-
cause I told all my friends what Postum

OPPOSED TO CANNON
His Reflections on the "IoWa Idea" Not
Rellsted In Hawkeyedom.

Special to The Journal. 81 INK
l. Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 1.-THE dec
laration Of. Congressman Hull In favor OF
Congressman Babcock Of Wisconsin for
speaker has aroused the keenest political
interest in Iowa. It is believed that 1t
will have an important bearing on the Sc
lection of speaker, that it presages the
unification of the Iowa delegation In IA
vor Of Babcock and that Cannon's boom
Will consequently receive a setback.
Congressman Hull had no sooner struck
(Des Moines than he was met by an ennis
sary from Congressman Hedge, who was
anxious to know where Hull stood on the
speakership. Hull came out squarely for
Babcock and said, moreover, Babcock
would be elected, and dropped a few
forceful hints that it would be we'll for
those that wanted to support the winner
to swing into line and 'get right" The
word to this effect at once went back to
Hedge by wire, and so, although he lives
just across the Mississippi from Uncle Joe
Cannon, the latter will not be able to get
a pledge Of his vote.
The effect Of Hulls stand is to prevent
any Of the Iowa congressman from pledg-
ing themselves to Cannon. Hepburn is
opposed to Cannon because Of an ancient
feud and would not support him under any
circumstances, unless absolutely forced
into it by the delegation and as q matter
or Self-1ntereSt. An enOrt mas been made
to get Governor Cummins to take a hand
in the matter. The governor has not dono
so or at any rate he refuses to indicate
his preference. There is the best of au-
thority for believing, however, that Cum
minis is for Babcock and that he will do
all he can to aid the Wisconsin congress-
man.
The fact of the matter is that Cannon's
ILL considered reflections ON the Iowa idea
a
either by the governor or his friends, and
they are certain to do all they can to op-
pose Cannon and help Babcock for that
reason,

CARNEGIE WAS HIS MESSENGER
Retirement of Major Osborn, Oldest
Attache of Associated Press.

ST LOUIS, No, June 1O.-Mr. Charles ].
Osborn, who has been correspondent OF the
Associated Press at st. Louis since 1902
representing term of forty-seven years or
continuous service, will retire from the
more severe labors of active service about
July l..
The Associated Press, however, retains
his advisory cooperation as part or the
working force by an arrangement highly
complimentary to Major Osborn.
Major Osborn began his newspaper career
in 1S47 on the Cincinnati Herald, of which
Stanley Matthews, afterward Supreme
Court justice, was then editor. and Salmon
P. Chase, afterward chief justice of the
United States Supreme Cocrt, was one of
the principal contributors.
In 1S4S he went to Plttsburg at the In
stance of his former school fellow. Arson
Stager who was then manager OF the
Pittsburg Telegraph office, ard who after
ward became general superintendent or the
Western Union Telegraph Company
He worked under General Stager at Pitts
burg and Cincinnati and finally at st.
Louis where in 1855, he took up his duties
as agent of the New York Associated Press.
At that time the overland mail, and later
the pony express" were the only means
of communicating news across the plains to
Visalia, point in California, 240 miles from
San Francisco, to which the telegraph wire
had been extended.
Major Osborn has witnessed the develop
ment of the telegraph service of America
and the marvellous advances which have
been made in news gathering during the
half century.
During his stay at Pittsburg. Andrew
Carnegie was one of the messenger boys.
For more than twenty years he has been
the dean of the Associated Press service.
widely known, highly respected and per-
sonally known to the great body of Asso-
ciated Press workers all over the world.
His retirement from the arduous daily re-
sponsibity of correspondent at st. Louis
has been accepted
He remains in touch with the ST Louis
staff and in active sympathy with the work.
AS he has done for forty-seven years, he
will continue to be a member of the general
force of the Associated Press
