Within the bounds of China township,
St. Clair county. Michigan, there is no
better known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His fine farm, with it's
pretty white residence and attractive
lawns and gardens. is admired by scores
of people who drive daily to- and from
the city of st. Clair,-by way of the
North road Mr.. Schroeppel's birthplace
is at the homestead where King school
stands, within a mile of his present
farm and the whole of his forty-two
years have been spent on these two
farms. His cure has naturally therefore
attracted a great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppers neighbors,
Captain George Balfour. who during
the months of navigation has COM
mand of one of the merchant steamers
running between Buffalo and Duluth,
after hearing of the salutary results in
Mr.. Schroeppei's case, decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for an attack
of rheumatism from which he was him

GROSS FRAUDS.
Are Being Unearthed in Connection
With Naturalization in New York.

New York, Oct. Tn a letter to the
law committee of Tammany Hall,
State Superintendent of Election Nor
gan today said:
1T is a matter of common notoriety
that elections in the state of New York
have been tainted with corruption
through the use of citizenship papers
fraudulently obtained from both state
and federal courts, and also through
the use Of forged certificates of nat
uralization."
He then referred to the recent ac-
ton of the state supreme court in can
ceiling a number of natura lization
certificates and continued:
Large as the number of certificates
may seem which were cancelled by
Judge GiIdersleeve this number is but
a small fraction of the frauds already
discovered and a much smaller per-
centage of those that will be discover
ed by this office before the first day of
registration for the general election of
1904. This investigation will be con-
tinued by this office within proper
legal bounds without interference or
dictation on the part of any organfza-
ton, political or otherwise, or set of
individuals. At the same time every
consideration which justice can extend
will be shown to the poor unfortunates
who have through ignorance come into
possession of certificates Of naturaliza-
ton which by law they are not en-
titled to possess"

FREIGHT RATE FACTS.
A. e. Helms Concise Statement About
Kansas Situation.

A nonpartisan freight rate meeting
was held at Wichita a day or two
ago. at which Judge A. E. Helm, of
that city, made the principal address.
Judge Helm, together with Judge F.
H Martin, of Hutchinson, drew up
the new railroad bill which the Fed
Grafton of Commercial Interests will
present to the next legislature for
passage. He has been in a number of
suits involving freight rates, both be-
fore the Kansas railroad commission
and before the interstate commerce
commission, and he is well posted on
the subject. Among other things
Judge Helm said:
"Can the people of Kansas help
court has ever decided that the peo-
pie through their representatives have
not the right to make rates. Every
court has expressed its opinion as to
the right in the people inherent to
make rates and tariff schedules, sub
Ject only to the limitation that such
rates must be reasonable and not con-
fiscatory. They must not go to the
extent of prohibiting the railroad from
earning fair and reasonable COM
pensation on its investment. No bust
ness man asks a policy of reprisal, or
wants the railroads despoiled of what
justly belongs to them.
Experiences of other states show
the necessity of regulation if the peo-
pie are to get their dues from corpo-
rations. The report of the interstate
1902 thirty states regulated their rail-
road business 1t states further that
twenty of these regulating boards
were strong and ten were weak By
weak boards is meant boards that
have not the power TO make general
classihcations of freight rates A
strong board is one that has the
power to make a schedule of freight
rates and classificationS of freight
THE report of the interstate COM
merce commission shows that no state
clothed with power to regulate its
freight rates in 1902 lost that power
Kansas wants a strong board. If it
ever gets a fair board and that power
it will not let it CO. At this time
Kansas has a weak commission. 1t
cannot make schedules of rates or
elassifications of freight. 1t can only
investigate Its investigation must be
confined to particular charges, and it
has no authority to make a general
classification of rates or freight
Railroads are right when they make
the claim before hearings that our
railroad commissioners have no right
to make rates and classify freight
Every strong commission has a right
to classify various commodities as
freight and make a schedule of rates

change them as conditions require

MANY DROWNED.
Reports of Flood Disaster Continue to
Reach Las Vegas.

Las Vegas, N. M, Oct. 7.-Word has
reached here from Chaperto of the
drowning in the recent flood of the
wife and three children of Francisco
Tucero, formerly a member of the
legislature from this county. The
woman and children were at home
alone the night of the storm, and the
water rose so rapidly that they were
unable to get out of the house.
Reports of nine deaths come from
the Red river country. Seven are re-
ported drowned in the Rayado, and
there are indefinite reports from the
Cimarron. 1t is now believed the
trains here can not go south until
Saturday night.

and Captain Baour in Great Demand
10 the Vicinity of their Homes.

In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroep-
pei was attacked by rheumatism of a
most pronounced and inca pacitating
type. So severe was the attack that he
was confined to bed and was unable to
help himself. The doctor was called in
and treated him but without success.
He subsequently regained his health,
however, by means which he described
with great enthusiasm in response to
an inquiry for particulars.
After five or six weeks Of helpless
inactivity and pain" said he. during
which was receiving visits at regular
intervals from the doctor I felt as bad
as ever and almost despaired of ever

to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for my
ailment. She declared that she had re-
ceived great benefit from their use in
Kidding herself of rheumatic pains even
at her advanced age, and she was con-
hdent they would help me. At her So

Yes quickly and thoroughly. Be

missing, having been pushed out by
the flood and carried to the sand bars
below. These steel pieces cannot be
used in this bridge again as they can
not be recovered soon enough, Several
steel mills are working on orders for
the repairs for the bridge, which all
has to be made, and this stuff will be
rushed to the spot as soon as it can
be gotten there. 1t was thought that
ten days would be required to get the
steel parts made which are to be used
in the bridge.
The terrible flood in the Canadian
washed out a bridge above the Rock
Islands line, SO it is said, and this
bridge was carried down the stream.
This is what took the Rock Island
bridge out. 1t is supposed to be one
of the wooden bridges on the Dawson
railway, although railroad men on this
division were not certain of this. The
flood alone would never have taken
the Canadian bridge out without the
drift stuff to help, because it was built
too high and too strong. 1t was
thought to be the finest bridge in re-
cent railroading in the southwest, and
the cost of its construction was very
large, many months of time being re-
quired to finish the work. 1t was
counted a difficult piece of railroad en-
gineering when the line was projected
through the southwest, as the Cana
dian was well known to the Rock Is
land engineering department where it
was crossed over in Texas. 1t is a
very treacherous stream whenever
there are heavy rains. For the Ell
Paso division everything had to be
first class to make competition pos
sibIe in the years to come, and the
best possible bridge was put in across
the Canadian.
The Cimarron bridge at ArkaIon is
another big loss to the Rock Island,
and this one must be rebuilt before it
is possible to hurry repairs for the
larger one across the Canadian. The
Cimarron bridge was not large, but it
takes time to repair a structure like
it, and the Rock Island bridge and
building department has some things
to do this fall.
1t is possible that the repairs may
be made and the line opened again
before a month and a half, but it is
announced that 1T is quite probable
that such will not be the case.

FoRTY-FIvE DAYS WORK.
Railroad Men Say it VIII Take a Long
Time to Repair Canadian Bridge.

Hutchinson, Kas., Oct. railroad
men say that it will take at least
forty-five days to make the repairs on
the Rock Island bridge across the
Canadian river in New Mexico, which
was washed out by the recent flood.
1t is thought that it will be impos-
sible to operate trains through over
this line to Ell Paso before a month
and half. The loss of the bridge is
such an important thing that its re-
pair has brought all of the big off,
ciaIs of the construction and operat-
ing departments to the place. Work is
being rushed and everything will be
done as soon as it is possible. but it is
certain that the Rock Island is one of
the worst crippled roads in the south
west as the result of the recent heavy
rains
This is one of the high bridges, be-
ing 135 feet above the low water
mark It was several hundred feet
long, built of steel, and thought to be
strong enough for any purpose. More
