Musaum of Nippur.

A museum of Nippur ot the sixth cen- tury B. C., discovered by Prof. Hilprecht' has come into the possession of the Uni yersity of Pennsylvania. The museum Is not very big, being entirely contained in a large earthern jar. but the contents are very valuable from a historical point of view and show that the ideas Of the early curator were much like those of present curators. Whether the specimens were excavated or purchased IS not known, but they undoubtedly represent collection which must have been made during the time of Belshazzar, since 1t was found in one Sf the upper strata at Nippur. The best specimen in the jar Is an inscription, containing the titles of Sargon l, who lived about 3S00 B. c. There Is a black stone votive tablet ot Ur-Gur, 27OO B. C., which tells that this King built the great wall around the city of Nippur Then there is terra cotta brick stamp of BurSin, which Is the first yet found of that King. Another tablet states that the large hall of the temple was called Emakh and also that there were twenty-four other shrines to gods in the temple besides the ones that have been found of Bel and his consort, Beltis. An interesting tablet gives some astro- nomical observations on Virgo and ScOr- pio. The little museum containsI nineteen pieces in all.

THE BEEF TRUST

A Gigantic One to Follow If This Succseds-Two-ffths Water and Three-Afths Actual
 Value of Plants.

Chicago Special to New York World
 The nucleus of the big beef and pack ing merger has been established with modest capital of s5o.ooo.ooo. of which s2O'- 900, 900 Is water.
 The outside packing plants purchased last summer by Armour and Co, SwiIt and Co. and Nelson Morris and Co. com prising the Hammond Packing Company, the 2. H. Hammond Company, the Anglo American Provision Company, the Oma- ha Packing Company, Fowler and Co.,, or Chicago and Kansas City, and the St. Louis Dressed Beef Company have been merged and a securities company Is to
 Plants Cost $2O, 1000, 900.
 The packers paid less than sao 900 600 i, for ?, and the fight inaugurated by the govern ment defeated the plan for giant merg- CT. These plants have since been oper- ated by the purchasers, but now since money has become cheap this little merg, CT Is made to test public opinion and fight all resources of the government s antitrust measures.
 If beaten the plants will be divided up among Armour, Swift and Morris; if vic torious, the big $500,Oo0. 600 meat trust will leap into existence, Armour. Swift and Morris will not appear in the securities company, but will hold almost all the stock.
 irhe slate of officials for the securities company will contain the names of J. c. Melvin and J. P. Lyman of the Ham, mond Company; Frederick Cowen, of the Anglo American, and k. F. Robbins of the Omaha Packing Company.
 Meanwhile the packers have been vir- tuaily defeated in the Federal Court here. Judge Grosscup has not made the tenn porary injunction permanent, but the packers are seeking to appeal to the Uni tea States Supreme Court from the tenn porary injunction. This injunction re- strains the meat men from combining to fix prices, accepting rebates and black listing dealers.
 Combine a Conspiracy"
 Judge Grosscup. in his decision, said that the beef combine was conspiracy He said the trust prohibited purchasing agents from bidding against each other in the markets where live stock was pur- chased; that. through its agents. 1t bid up the pri's of live stock for few days at time to induce large shipments, and live stock thus shipped at prices much less than it would bring in the regular way; that it agreed upon prices to be adopted by all the members of the trust that 1t required their agents to impose uniform charges for carriage for delivery thereby increasing to dealers and consum' CTS the charges for such meats, and thai 1t made agreements with the transporta' ton companies for rebates and other dis criminative rates.
 No one can doubt that these averments state a case of combination, continues Judge Grosscup. Whether it be unlaw full or not depends on whether such com bination Is in restraint of trade"

 Weakness.
DEBILITY OFTEN TRAGEDIES COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
 How to Get Strong.
OUR VIN0L IS A STRENGTH
 CREATOR.

The saddestsighton earthisa broken down man or woman.
 We see such people every day right here in our city.
 It is pitiful to see man that should be in his prime dragging himself through life dejected, discouraged and broken down, due to some premature weakness. It does not make any diff ference whether this weakness is the result of dissipation, indiscreet living or disease; it can be overcome.
 We have known of many very serious cases of debility quickly overcome by Vinol.
 Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and strength creator. Itcontains the active curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in a highly concentrated form. The benefit that can be derived from the use of these properties is so we'll known that there is no need for us to enter into that subject.
 We could quote many instances where vinol has done good; as an example, here is one coming from Jane S. Fem fren, prominent member of the W. c. T. U., and resident of Suncook, N. H. She writes:
 1T was run down, was in bed from May to March. Was so nervous and sickly that every one thought was in a most precarious condition. My weight was reduced to 12o pounds. I was ad. vised to take Vinol, which l did, and am now very much better, and am able to be about again. As a rebuilder and a strength giver nothing can equal it. Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
 Because Vinol Is delicious, and because it does contain these much-sought-after medicinal properties we endorse it. and we unhesitatingly proclaim that it is better than any preparation of cod-liver oil or tonic rebuiiderwe have ever had in our store. E. G. Fowler, Druggist.
