INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Will Investigate the Transportation
Companies Methods in California.

San Francisco. April 2.-The inter-
state commerce commission is coming
to this state and, next Tuesday. will
begin it's sessions at Los Angeles. The
principal matter to be investigated in
the alleged pooling arrangement be-
tween the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe Railroads. which, it is charged, d.
yided the California traffic to the dis
advantage of shippers.
The Southern California Fruit Ex-
change and some other big shippers Of
citrus farms who are represented In
the Consolidated Forwarding Co, are
the plaintiffs in the action and both
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe are
made defendants.
Just what effect the formation of
the shipping combine in Southern Cali
fornia will have on the case before the
commission is a matter that is causing
quite little speculation at present"
says the Chronicle.
The combine effected by the Southern
California Fruit Exchange whereby all
of the citrus fruit shipping interests in
the state have been consolidated Is a
new factor in this situation and one
which the railroads will have to take
into consideration. ~ I.tt

Home Testimony.

from a resident who can be seen on the

home and who will be only too pleased
to give minute particulars to anyone

consequences which inevitably follow
weakened or over-excited kidneys. Is
not such evidence of more value than
a published statement from some citi-
zen of a far-away place?
Mr.. Frank Chase. police officer of
143 Northern avenue, says: I'm the
winter of 1897 I had an attack of what
was pronounced lumbago. The pains
in my back were incessant and the
only relief / got was when ] rested my
back against a radiator In short
time the kidney secretions began to
show the kidney difficulties, their color
was high, they contained large
quantity Of brick dust and were ex-
cessive in quantity. l was told to
try Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
"a box at c. X. Partridge's Old Re-
liable drug store, opposite the post
office. Its use benefited me greatly
and got a second box. BY the time

back were ended. I cannot say

He. ~saidnin; part a...We are almost
-pon the threshold Of another Presiden-

struggle even now can be clearly de-
fined. The party in power will stand
for a high protective tariff for the
trusts and for foreign conquest. The
extravagant appropriations by there
cent Congress will pave the way for
greater extravaganza yet to follow.
I'm unrelenting hostility to all this,
the Democratic party will favor the
abolition of all unnecessary and unjust
taxes: will demand a reduction to the
minimum the cost of every needed ar
ticle of consumption. 1t will stand in
readily the antagonist of trusts.

litical supremacy appeal will be made
more earnestly than ever before to
Democrats to present an unbroken
front" Co., =. 49,
Mr.. Bryan who spoke on Democracy,

boasting that the money question is
settled, money is tight in the great fl
