NEW METHODS OF REPORTING.
Something of a Difference Between the
Old Time and the Present Ways.

In old times there were three ways to
report testimony-the verbatim, the
sketch, and the summary. Let us give
an example:
John Smith, sworn and examined by
Mr.. Jones:
Q.--What is your business?
Al am a carpenter.
Q.-How long have you worked at
your trade?
Al have worked at my trade for
twenty years.
Q.-Do you know the defendant?
Al do.
Q.-How long have you known him?
Al have known him for the last
ten years.
So much for the verbatim. Now, for
the sketch:
John Smith, on being sworn, said
he was a carpenter. He worked at his
trade for twenty years and knew the
defendant for ten years.
AND the summary:
John Smith, a carpenter, knew de-
PENDANT for ten years"

Pedro Alvarado, of Parral, Mexico,
said to be worth $40, 000, 900, has offered
his entire fortune to the government
Of the republic, the money to be used
in liquidating the national debt, which
now amounts to about four times the
amount named. Senior Alvarado ex-
plains that his wealth came from mines,
title to which was given him by the
government, and that, therefore, he can
well afford to crafty his desire.

The Trusts and Congress.

There can be no doubt that trusts
WELD a powerful influence in con-
gress. The recent revelations with
reference to the efforts being made
by John ID. Rockefeller and the Stand
ard Oil company and others to pre-
vent the present congress from enact
ing antitrust legislation should stir
the people of this great republic to a
sense of duty that will lead them to
shake off the yoke of monopoly.
a crisis in national affairs is at
hand. The question that confronts
this republic today is:
Does the republic control the
trusts or do the trusts control the re-
public?"
John ID. Rockefeller is bold enough
to say to the senate of the United
States: This antitrust legislation
must be stopped
Congress has not nerve enough to
say. Monopoly and the trust evil
shall be stopped
Which. then, appears the more. pow
erful, the trust or the republic?

then the hard-hearted lawyer showed

Let the Hague Arbitrate.

St. Louis Republic: President Roose-
ences in the Venezuelan controversy
was expected. Even the representa-
tives of the allied powers must have
felt that their request would not be
complied with by the president. If
not. then they place very low esti-
mate upon Mr.. Roosevelt's intelli-
gence.
The president would be going far
out of his way to meet trouble and to
insure a loss of American prestige if
he consented to act as arbitrator in
the Venezuelan matter. His final de-
cision. regardless of whom 1t benefit
ted, would be bitterly assailed The
effect of his advice would inevitably
embarrass us with more than one Eu-
ropean government. The Washington
representatives. of the allied powers,
themselves in an awkward plight at
present would rejoice to unload their
responsibilities upon Mr.. Roosevelt
1t would be an easy way out of bad
hole.
1t is now difficult to see any other
termina ton of the Venezuelan incl
dent than reference of the dispute
TO The Hague. Negotiations in Wash
ington have failed. The blockade of
Venezuelan ports cannot be permit

PALE WOMEN
A BIOOdIess Face In
dictates Trouble.
Watery Blood a Menace
to Health.
WE KNOW HOW PALE
PEOPLE CAN GET RICH
RED BLOOD.
COME AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT VIN0I

When blood is watery and thin, or,
as doctors would say. lacks red blood
corpuscles it is a sign that much iSrad-
ically wrong.
We would advise everyone who has
such symptoms to start at once to
take proper remedy to overcome this
trouble.
That remedy is Vinol, the greatest
and most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles eX-
tracted from Gods livers, the same ele-
mentS that have made cod-liver oil
famous for wasting diseases.
These medicinal elements are dis
solved in a delicious table wine so that
Vinol is most palatable.
None of the vile-smelling obnoxious
grease that characteriZes cod-liver oil
and frequently makes it an impossible
remedy for those who should take it,
is found in Vinol.
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re-
stored the roses of health to the pale
cheeks of the sufferer.
The following is a fair sample of the
way people write in regard to Vinol:
For several months L suffered lassi-
tude and tired all the time Also Il
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and / was pale
| and weak. AS an experiment / tried
Vinol and if 1 wrote pages 1 could not
tell all it has done for me. "-MRs. A.
K. LA PRUscH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because we know VinOi so we'll,
and because we know so surely
what it will do, and how it will
accomplish the good it does in a
scientific way, we unreServedIy en-
dOrSe and recommend it, and in
every instance guarantee to refund
to any one what they pay US for
VinOl if they do not find it entirely
satisfactory.

TO ALLcATARRH SUFFERERS
HyomeI Guaranteed to Cure by T. II.
Thomas or Money Refunded.

Thomas or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the
annals of medicine. Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remark
able remedy that the proprietors have
authorized T. II. Thomas to sell every
package of Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee that it win cure catarrh.
If it does not the purchaser can have
his money refunded by T. II. Thomas.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, a
baIsamic air that destroys all cat
arrhal germs in the breathing or
gans, enriches and purifies the blood
with additional ozone, and makes per-
manent and complete cures of cat
arrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.O0 and consists of pocket in
haler that can be. easily carried in the
vest pocket, medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei sufficient for
months treatment.
Breathe through the inhaler for
few minutes four times day and
your catarrh is cured. That's all.
If not cured I. II. Thomas will re-
fund your money.
