Railroads to Aid the Fair.
In response to an urgent appeal from
President Francis of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition and to avoid re-
ceivership for the big fair the Chicago
and Alton, the Illinois Central and the
Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis railroads
have given notice to the Western Pas
senger association that they will begin
at once running daily coach excursions
at greatly reduced rates from all places
within 100 miles of st. Louis.

A Record Cotton Crop.

Record Cotton Crop.
The price of cotton has been wei
sustained in spite Of the government
report indicating crop Of 100000
bales with increased acreage. The
average condition of the crop OIL July
25 was shown to have been 91.6 pei
cent as compared with SO last year
and a ten year average of 1927. 1t is
expected to be the largest crop Of cot.
ton over produced in this country.
More Petroleum Produced.
According to a report just issued by
the geological survey for the year 1908
the production Of petroleum was 1,461,'
337 barrels, valued at $94,694, O5O
an increase of more than 100000
over the output Of 1902.
Enormous Coal Output.
On the same authority the prOduc-
ton of bituminous coal last year in
this country reached 2S5, 107 1892 tons and
Pennsylvania anthracite reached a.
313,919. AS compared with 1902 this
was a gain of 57,s3O,S7O tons. The
value Of the total production was $780,
19O,733 If this product were loaded
on freight cars holding thirty tons each
the trains containing it would encircle
the globe at the equator about three
and one-third times.

Not by paralyzing the nerves and
glands, like opium, morphine, cocaine,
and other dangerous drugs, but by in
creasing the natural secretions.
This action is obtained as a result of
modern discoveries in medicine, making
it possible to relieve pain without bad
after effects.
You can safely depend upon DR.. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills to relieve and cure such
pains as Neuralgia, Headache, Stomach
ache, Menstrual Pains, rheumatism.
Backache, Toothache, etc.
They will also, by their calming act
ion on the nerves, almost instantly re-
leve such distressing feelings as Dir
ziness, Car Sickness, Indigestion, Irri-
liability, Sleeplessness, Nervousness, etc.
Not merely do they relieve. but they
also absolutely cure, because by perse-
vering in their use, you do away with
the cause.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are guar
anteed that first package will benefit, or

weakened by floods, eight miles from
Pueblo, Colo, Aug. Z. The engine

swept the cars along and carried some
of the dead bodies distance of eight
miles, making their recovery and iden-
LITIGATION extremely difficult. The two

by the application Of the air breaks to
save them just on the brink Of the

the history of the road.
Five persons were killed and several

ORA BACK FOUGHT
BY HANSBR0UGH
North Dakota Senator Opposes
Plan Proposed by Secretary
! of the Treasury.
By w, w, Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 7.--senator Hans:
brough and Representative Lowering Of
Massachusetts had long conference
with Secretary Shaw today about the
new drawback regulations which the
secretary is considering.
Senator Hansbrough stated his, op-
position to the proposed regulations,
covered briefly in an interview with
him in a recent dispatch to T g
Journal. He says that if the millers
are allowed to import Canadian wheat
and mix it with the domestic product
it will injure the North Dakota farmers
and lessen the price of their product
The senator combatted the statement
made in the preliminary report of Spe
cial Agent Kemp to the effect that
much Of the wheat in Minnesota ele
vators was shriveled. He told the sec
rotary that he would let the millers
wanted from North Dakota at current
prices, and said that it was not neces
sary to adopt any more liberal draw
back regulations than are now in force
because the millers do not need any
relief. -. d.. -.
Representative Lowering, who is thu
author of several drawback bills, ia
vored the proposed revision of the reg
ulations and urged the secretary tt
make them as liberal as possible.
Sweeping Changes Likely.
Information was given out late to
day by an advocate of the .liberalizin,
drawback regulations, that Secretar,
Shaw would within few days, prob
ably Tomorrow, issue an order maxim!
most sweeping changes in the presen
drawback regulations, especially il
their application to the drawback o.
wheat. These new regulations will b
issued as result of the recent investi
cations of Special Agent Kemp.

ment Of his position on the Cooper

a preliminary way, that part Of the

Gated increased powers for the. inter

the fixing of rates by the commission.
The committee decided that it will
begin at once-perhaps early next week

All the leading railroad managers Of
the country and leading speakers will

who may be interested in this ques
ton. If the testimony, is not all in
hand by The latter part of February
the committee will ask the house te
authorize a continuance of the hearings
during the recess Of congress next sum
mer, so that something definite may b.
reached in the way of recommendation
by the time congress meets next De

swindling in deals involving many mil
lions is laid at the door Of j. Edward
Addicks of Delaware. AS a result Of
one of the suits brought by. Receiver
Pepper Of the Bay State Gas company,
Addicks may have to disgorge the ssan
of $3,0O0,000, and this will only. be a
starter in the litigation that is pending.
The .s,1it is one Of several in the $751;
100000 stock transaction of the Bay
away the others will be started.
: Surprise has been caused by the
nature Of the security given by Ad-
dicks in this settlement, which besides
the return of great amount of stock,
means but $48,254.52. d" 4. (, >,s,,ss :.
Gas Man Fairly Caught.
It is no greater, however, than the
surprise occasioned by the fact that
the gas man has at last been fairly
caught in the meshes Of the law. The
results Of this suit offer hope. that the
receiver will obtain disagreement in
the other cases., which involve more
than $3,OOOOOO.
Never before in all the tortuous paths
that he has trod since first he began
4 his Bay State gas manipulations, has
the gas man been trapped. From the
first day that the nature of the Bay
State gas methods began to be under
stood by the investors in the stock OF
A the company, he has succeeded ir
holding at bay those who have en-
deavored to compel disagreement.
