The Great Healer.

There is no remedy on the market
today which bears the reputation to re-
lieve and cure external pains as quickly
and surely as Paracamph. 1t never
fails to accomplish the desired results,
if used properly and as directed.
Someone has said that the secret of
success s "constancy to purpose -
This applies in all cases when you are
seeking relief from pain. Don't use
your medicine once or twice-but use
it constantly as directed, and you are
sure of meeting with success.
PARACAMPH is guaranteed re-
lief and cure for certain troubles and
this should convince you of it's merits
and after you have given same fair
trial, using it faithfully, if it fails to do
what we claim, your money will be
cheerfully refunded.
Don't this seem a fair proposition.
So why suffer with Sore Muscles,
Muscular rheumatism, Sore Joints,
Neuralgia, 1rritations of the Skin,
letter, Eczema, Itching Piles, Sore
Feet, Pains in the Back and Shoulders,
when you can get immediate relief and
be quickly cured by the use of the re-
markable external application Para.
campn.
PARACAMPH differs from all other
external applications in that it does
not relieve by deadening the nerves, or
driving the pain into the body, but it
stimulates the pores, penetrates to the
source of the trouble, removes the sore
ness and draws out the fever and in
flammation by inducing copious per
spiration.
This valuable remedy is sold by all.

ADVANTAGE TO CANADA r. RS.

Law Can't Prevent.

Law Can't prevent.
The Elkins law bids fair to prove a
bOnaZa to Canadian roads having lines
and connections in the United States, says
the Chicago Record Herald. Such roads
as the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pa
cif1c are In position, it is said, to divert
been enjoyed by the American lines by in
dulging in practices which are prohibited
under the Elkins law.
Apparently there is nothing to prevent
the Grand Trunk making two billings of
shipments. billing to end and another
to begin at the Canadian border. BY so
doing any shrinkage or rebate which was
desired in, the rates could be absorbed by
the Canadian end Of the road.
The lines III question are so situated
eeoeraphically that the effect Of the
from the north Pacific coast to the sea-
board. That the law placed within the
grasp OF the Grand Trunk. for example,
a tremendous advantage over roads eX
tending from Chicago to the seaboard is
readily seen. Much of the freight which
now goes by the standard lines for export
by way Of New York and Boston could
easily be diverted by the Canadian end Of
the line, paying rebates to shippers. -.
There is no indication that the officers
OF the company will take advantage Of
the opportunity presented by the law, but
the fact that the opportunity exists will
make the road extremely important
factor In the eastern situation.

Comparison With Other States Made
l., on Grain, Cattle and Other
Glasses of Freight.

Madison, Wis, April Ex-Governor La
! Toilette sent a special message to the leg
lslature to-day upon the freight commits
sion bill. 1t is the most exhaustive treat
ise upon the subject of railroad freight
charges ever compiled, comprising 12S
pages, many. of which are devoted to ta-
bles containing comparisons with railroad
tariffs IN other states In way intended to
refute the statements and arguments that
were made by railroad men and agents
before the assembly committee.
If the legislatures of Illinois or Iowa,
have given to the people Of those states
laws which enable them to secure rates
lower than the Wisconsin rates for like
services, the message states. then the
people OF Wisconsin are wronged. and it is
the duty of the legislature to remedy that
wrong. These considerations furnish the
strongest reasons for critical examinat tion
and comparison of transporta ton charges
nois.
8 The ates on wood for fuel, as shown in
comparative table of rates in Wisconsin
and Iowa, show that the Wisconsin con-
sumer pays an excess of 1859 per cent.
A comparison Of rates on cattle to Chi
caso and Milwaukee from points in Wis
consn, the distances in both cases being
about the same. shows Milwaukee to pay
an excess of 2o.9 per cent. :
points in Wisconsin to Milwaukee, with
rates from points in Iowa to the Missis-
sippi river. distances being similar, shows
the percentage of excess for Wisconsin,
wheat lis, coarse grains 34.2.
The vera ge rate for ten classes of gen
eral merchandise in q comparison of rates
prevailing in Iowa and Wisconsin shows
Wisconsin's rate to be 1856 cents for
100 pounds. as against 14.1 cents for Iowa,
or an excess for Wisconsin Of 1884 per
cent.
Figured on what is known as the ton
mile basis. the average rate on general
merchandise is 2.921 cents for Wisconsin
and 2.162 cents per ton-mile for Iowa.
showing an excess overcharge for Wis
consin amounting to 35.11 per cent.
For agricultural implements there are
fourteen comparisons, and the averages
for these show that the rates in Wisconsin
were 67.39 per cent higher than i'll Iowa.
A table is presented comparing the
rates to Chicago on wheat. flour. etc., and
on barley. corn. oats, rye. ETC.. from twen-
from an equal number Of shipping points
in Illinois, the distances being the same
In both cases. AS computed, the average
distance is about 156 miles from Chicago.
For this distance the average rate on the
comm odities named is 1.oS cents for 100
pounds when the shipment originates in
Wisconsin and 9S3 cents when 1t origi-
mates in Illinois. On the percentage basis
the discrimination against the Wisconsin
shipper amounts to 22.7 per cent.
Various other rate tables different
commodities show similar comparisons

Baltimore, Md, April 29.-The Western
Union Telegraph company, thru it's coun-
sci, 1sidor Raynor, attorney general of
Maryland. has filed a suit in the United
States court asking that the Philadelphia
& Washington Railroad company, a
branch Of Pennsylvania railroad, be en-
Joined from destroying its system of poles
and wires. The bill t3narrates that the
railroad company has given the telegraph
company notice to remove it's wires and
poles from the line Of road by May 15
This the company has declined to do and
has asked for an injunction.
The complaint alleges that if the Penn

country would be endangered, as we'll as

The Railroad Lines Suffer from Lake

The Railroad Lines Suffer from Lake
@ Competition.
Representatives of lake and rail trans
portation lines between Minneapolis. Chi
cago and New York are having a meeting
in Chicago to-day to consider flour and
grain rates from Minneapolis and Duluth
to the seaboard. The rail lines are suf-
fering from lake competition, their tou
mage having been cut down by from Is to
20 per cent In the last four weeks. The
railroads are believed to feel that a reduc-
ton in rates must be made if q showing
during the summer is to be maintained.
3 The interstate commerce. commission
has ordered the railroads to reduce rates
on grain from New York to the old basis
OF 171sc per 100 pounds. The millers of
the northwest demand a reduction in the
rates on flour, as compared with rates on
grain. The millers allege that there IS
SO much difference in the rates now that
it is impossible for them to export -four.
A reduction in both flour and grain rates
is likely, from the fact that the Great
Western has intimated that it will make
the reduction lii flour rates demanded by
the millers of the northwest even If the
other lines refuse to do so.
