ADJOURNS TO CHICAGO.
Cattle Rate Hearing Will Be Resumed
in November.

Denver, Colo. Sept. 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission has con-
cluded a hearing on western live stock
rates, which has been in progress for
several days. Commissioner Charles A.
Prouty presided. The hearing was at
the instance of the cattle growers in
terState executive committee, represent
ing all organized cattlemen. Testimony
was also taken in the Texas cattle rails
erS' case against the southwestern lines.
alleging unreasonable rates and poor
service. The cattlemen produced evil
dence to show that rates were generally
higher than they have ever been and
service very much wore than when
rates We're lower. 1t was shown that
from Denver common points and south
western points to the northwest, rates
were advanced, while west of the noun
tainS rates were practically unchanged.
The advance has largely come about
through a change in the method of
charging from dollars per car to cents
per hundred pounds.
The railroads admit the poor service
and promise amendment. They admit
the increase in rates but claim that
rates have been too low; that they pro-
vide a special service for live stock and
are entitled to more money. Stockmen
insist that they get no special service
but that the bulk of live stock is ham
died on freight trains with dead freight.
Where special service is given is where
enough stock is shipped to make a
train load, and the railroads will do
the same for any other commodity
providing sufficient tonnage. The COM
decided to consolidate the two
cases into the Texas cattle raisers case
and the railroads will put in testimony
at a further hearing to be held in Chi
cago about the middle of November.
There was a large attendance of prom
inent railroad traffic officials and some
of the largest stock raisers in the west
were put on the witness stand. Stock
men are confident that they will ulti-
mately get an order from the commits
sion putting back the rate complained
of to what they were six years ago I'M
der the old car lot rate tariff. Should
such an order issue, stock shippers who
have paid the advanced rate will be
entitled to recover many thousands of
dollars they have paid in excess of
what they would have paid under the
old rate The railroads have half a
dozen attorneys fighting the case while
the stock men are represented by At
torney S. H. Cowan of Fort Worth.

ENrPoRIA FLOOD SUITS.
Question Whether Providence or the
Santa Fe Caused Losses to Farmers.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE most
important decision to be made in the
October term of the Lyon county dis
trict court will determine whether Prov
idence or the Santa F'e railroad was the
cause of the floods op a number of
farms along the Neosho river southeast
of here. The plaintiffs in seven dam
age suits brought against the Santa Fe
railroad within the last month, alleged
that the cause of damage to their crops
was the water backed upon their farms
by a grading about two miles long and
from three to twenty feet high. They
said that the embankment had not the
proper openings to drain off the water
and acted as a dam. The amounts of
damages now petitioned for aggregate
about SIS, 900. The plaintiffs and the
amounts sued for are: w. S. Cook,
S7,47O; R. L. Dishner. $3.50; ]. C. Van
Gundy, $2712.50; G. B. Everton, $3.50;
Fred Genthner, $500; Charles S.
CAurger, 81, $50 and George w. White.
s.. 900.
The Santa FEES attorneys, Lambert &
Higgins, have filed an answer to one
of the cases, showing what stand the
railroad will take in each of them. 1t
represents that the damage was due to
extraordinary floods" constituting, at
law. an act of God, for the consequence
of which the railroad company is in no
manner responsible. and that the result
ing damage is not due to any negligence
on the part of the railroad company, it's
agents, employees or servants

LENA NOT ALONE.
Other Russian Vessels Are Expected
at Any Time.

San Francisco, sept. 1.-THE
Chronicle today says:
From a reliable source it has
been learned that the Lena was not
alone in her wanderingS in the eastern
Pacific ocean, and it is stated with au-
thority that somewhere east of a line
drawn from the Hawaiian islands to
the UnaIaska in the Aleutian chain at
least two of the cars cruisers are
roaming the seas and apt at any time,
singly or together, to seek the safe
haven found by the Lena last Sum
day.
whether the Korea is one of these
two vessels known to be near the coast,
or whether she is third vagrant
cruiser, is not settled
1T is generally believed in navy
circles that the cruisers referred to are
converted auxiliaries like the Lena,
but there is a possibility that they are
regular men of-war, which like the
Lena were forced to escape to the
eastward. Their machinery being still
in good shape, they are keeping the sea
as long as possible and will probably
not make port until their coal runs
out.
"It is pointed out that the mere
knowledge that these cruisers may be
encountered anywhere between San
Francisco and Honolulu or along the
great circle route between Puget
sound and Japan would have a
marked deterrent effect upon those
engaged in shipping contraband from
"At any rate the New York and the
MarbIehead, which will remain here
indefinitely are on the qui vive and
ready at any time to greet one or both
of the corners with the promptness
that they greeted the Lena"

UNION PACIFIC GETS ALTON.
Hartman Forced to ReIinquish the
Houston & Texas Central, However.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-WhiIe E. H.
Hartman will successfully conduct his
deal for passing over control of the
Chicago & Alton railroad to the Union
Pacific 1T is now reported he has been
forced to make an important conces-
sion to those who have opposed him
in the deal.
In order to carry out his plan for a
Chicago entrance for the Union Pa
cific Mr.. Hartman will have to re-
hnquish control of the Houston &
Texas Central to the Rock Island sys-
tenn, which will give that road an out
let to the gulf Mr. Hartman was
beaten in his Alton fight, and that this
compromise deal was his only saliva

close to the Hartman, Hawley and
The coup is said to have been al
most entirely a Moore deal, but it is
admitted that Edwin Hawley and John
W. Gates participated in it and acted
large blocks of Alton stock, on which
they are said to have cleaned up a
handsome profit.
The Hartman plan has all along
been to give the Union Pacific a direct
entrance to Chicago and st. Louis, and
the plan, when announced late this
month, will include participation in the
Alton deal by the Chicago & North
western and Rock Island. The former
will gain the long-deSired outlet at St
Louis, and the Rock Island will get
control of the Houston & Texas Cen
trail property, which has been con-
trolled in the past by Harriman's
Southern Pacific.
While the official announcement of
the Hartman deal to sell the Alton

FRACAS AT PEkIN.
Chinese and Italian Soldiers Engage
in Mixup.

PeAin, Sept. 17.-An extraordinary
fracas between Italian and Chinese
soldiers occurred on Thursday after
noon, September Is. 1t appears that
two Chinese soldiers were out walking
unarmed along the public road bor-
dering upon the Italian drill ground
adjoining the Italian legation. They
stopped to watch the Italians drilling.
The Italians ordered them away, and
when they refused to go a fight en-
sued. The two Chinese were beaten.
One of them was then seized and taken
into the Italian legation, while the
other ran to the residence of General
Chang Kweit, who is commander-in-
chief of the Chinese stationed here. A
dozen Italians followed him and fired
two shots into. the residence and one
Italian soldier entered. Chinese SOL
diers assembled prepared to fight, but
one of their officers prevented further
disturbance.
Representations have been made by
the Chinese authorities to the Italians
but no answer has yet been received.
Great indignation is felt and ex-
pressed on all sides at the unprovoked
and unwarranted attack. 1t is hoped,
however, that the incident will be
arranged without any complications.

SHORT WEIGHTS QUESTION.
Shrinkage in Coal Shipments Consid-
cred by the Dealers in Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE
delegates to the meeting of the Coal
Dealers association spent a part of to-
day visiting the mines. A special train
left the Santa Fe station at o'clock
for trip around the field. At mine
81 of the Central company, a test run
was made and those desiring were
shown the bottom working of the
mine.
The association met in executive
session in the afternoon. The question
of short weights was fully discussed.
There SIS an unavoidable shrinkage in
coal while in transit and it has been
the custom to make the dealer pay for
this shrinkage. The dealers believe
the railroads should stand part of the
loss. A committee was appointed by
President Grosser to confer with the
railroad representatives and arrange
for a settlement of the question. The
committee is composed of L. c. Jack
son, Wichita; w. w. Clelland, Law
renee, and E. D. Haynes, Fort Scott.

suit from a bloodless condition of the
nerve centers. Systemic catarrh is
very frequently the cause of this con-
dition. Every mucous membrane in
the body is slightly deranged by sys-
temic catarrh. This leads to a COM
plete decentralization of the digestive
and assimilative organs, and a blood
less condition of the nerve centers en-
sues. Nervousness is the result; fret
fulness, irritability, worry, complain
ing-all of these mental conditions re-
suit from starved nerve centers.
The only cure is to remove the ca
tarrhal condition of the mucous mem
brane.
Peruna is the remedy that will do
this.
Peruna is not nervine nor quiet
ing medicine. Peruna cures just the
ondition-catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh of the internal
organs, and the nervousness disap-
pears.
