THEORIES ABOUT cATARRH

Most people. however. are more Interested
In the cure of the trouble than in the cause;
and modern medical science has produced
more effective and less heroic remedies than
Mr.. Twain's.
Hydrastin Is new remedy. very effective

another which on account OF its antisepnc
properties is very valuable. while many
severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been
entirely cured by the sangunaria or extract

Within year an enterprising chemist has
combined all of these remedies in tablet
form. palatablc and convenient and the
superiority of this tablet over other catarrh
remedies is SO apparent that all druggists

achieved a national popularity in so short

They clear the head and throat from the

For nasal Catarrh they are far superior to

For coughs. colds, bronchial catarrh and

Attorneys on Both Sides Com
plete Their Arguments Be-
fore Supreme Court.
DECISION EXPECTED IN MARCH.
Attorney General Crow Is Salts
fed With the Evidence Adduced
Against the Packers and An
ticipates Favorable Opinion.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.


Jefferson City. No.. Jan. 2s.-The final ar
grment in the Beef Trust investigation
closed to-day in the Supreme Court, and
the case was taken under advisement.
Attorney General Crow says that the
Beef Trust cases are analogous to the In
surance cases. and he can see no reason
why, on the evidence submitted. the court
should deviate from its former course when
1t fined the insurance companies 81. 900 each.
He has fought the case hard for the nine
months, and believes that he has an es-
pecially strong case against the beef COM
bine to control prices in Missouri.
The suit was instituted last May after an
order had been received from the Supreme
Court directing the packers doing business
in Missouri to appear before a Judge of the
Supreme Court and show that no trust ex-
listed to control prices. The evidence taken
at that hearing was saved and corroborated
in later hearings after the institution of the
suit.
The hearings were held In st. Joseph.
Kansas City and st. Louis before Commits
court. and his report @ i Which was filed d with
the court in December, was to the effect
that in his opinion the evidence adduced
was ample to Justify the conclusion that
trust among the packers to control the
prices did exist.
The final argument in the case was on the
er, the exceptions being filed last month by
Attorneys Hagerman and New for the
packers
4 TESTIMONY REVIEWED.
The arguments on the exceptions were be-
gun yesterday. Attorney New, for the
packers, appeared to-day and was followed
by Attorney General Crow, who closed tho
argument. The case then was submitted
to the court.
Attorney General Crow. in a lengthy argl-
ment, went over the entire ground to-day.
He touched upon every bit Of evidence ad-
duced In each hearing, tending to show that
trust was in existence and that the repre-
sentatives Of the packers met and arranged
schedules Of prices for each week, that a
black list was kept, that in some instances
diseased meat was sold, and that the wit
nesses who were examined were fully quail
fed to know what they were talking about.
In answer to the contention raised by the
attorneys for the packers that the evidence
was only hear-say, he showed that in many
instances the witnesses were former em-
ployes of the packers. and that bills and
schedules were shown and made a part OF
the evidence. He asked that the packers be
barred from doing business in Missouri for
violation OF the antitrust laws.
