Blow at Grain Corners.

Corners in grain are forever rendered
practically impossible by a decision hand
ed down by Judge Chytrans in circuit
court at Chicago Saturday II sustained
by the higher court. The case was for
an injunction asked by Waite Thorburn
e. Company against prominent commits
sion houses in the recent July oats corn
er. The most important ruling is that
the Chicago board Of trades loses power
to pass on property rights where mar
gins are involved. denying its authority
to discipline members for refusing to put
up called margins. The court said in
its ruling that as far as the merits of
the case were concerned 1t did not matter
whether there was a corner. for II was
taken for granted that an honest price
was intended. This part OF the matter
can be decided at a further hearing
which will be had. The decision makes
the INDUCTION in force until this hearing
on facts is had. The gist of the decision
is that a special committee which. ac-
cording to the board rules should be APP
pointed by the president to adjudicate
such differences, has no authori-
ty to act In matters where property
rights are involved.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Death of BOSS" Shepherd.

Alexander p Shepherd, 81, who died
Friday in Batopilas, Mexico, was one of
the most conspicuous men in the public
eye more than n quarter of a century
ago when he was Boss Shepherd, the
territorial governor of the District of
Columbia. He was born In Washington
and as early as 1870 became recognized
as a political power. Washington was
then a city of swamps and mud banks.
President Grant appointed Shepherd
governor of the District Of Columbia.
From that time Washington had i'm
provements of all kinds. The streets
were torn up, unslghtly buildings were
removed, wide avenues were run
through all estates, splendid public build
of sewerage was introduced and the
avenues were paved. During this time
the citizens OF Washington were de-
nouncng the Boss" and accusing him
of corruption, but he turned deaf ear
to every one. When he was finally de-
posed, in 1874, he had spent $40,000000 and
left the city $27.0OO000 in debt.
He then returned to the plumbing bust
ness, but failed within a year for $1,000
600. Again he went to work, redeemed
his fortune and paid off his creditors.
In 1879 he went to Mexico. where he
bought land at Batopilas and developed
valuable mines. He started II different
companies, ana became several tunes II
millionaire. Establishing himself upon a
beautiful estate, he surrounded himself
with princely magnfcence. Mr.. Shep-
herds estate in Mexico was practically
a principality within a republic. In
nearly every respect 1t was complete in
itself. Comprising the best of grazing
land, besides the valuable mines, there
were focks and herds and nearly every
thing his employees ate and wore came
from his own lands. He had mills of his
own and foundries. and was like a feudal
baron of olden times.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
