Armour Company Representative Tries
Intimidation in Investigation.

Chicago, June 6.-That a represen-
tative of the Armour Car company
threatened to make it hot" for COM
mission merchants if they testified in
regard to the effect of an alleged mo-
nopoly contract between the Armour
company and the railroads in the
Michigan fruit belt was a charge made
in testimony before the interstate
commerce commission. J. c. May
nard, commission merchant at
Grand Rapids, Mich, was the witness
who gave the testimony. He named
F. E. Wolcott as having said: You
fellows should not have come down
here to testify. We will see that you
get the hot end of the stick"
Attorney A. r. Urion, who repre-
sents the Armour com pany before the
commission, explained that Mr.. VOL
colt was a very subordinate" en-
ploye of the. Armour company. and
that if he had made the staten eylt
alleged it was not upon the advice OF
his superiOrs. He said the company
would not countenance such action
by an employee.
George F. Mead, of Boston. Mass.
vice president of the National League
OF Commission Merchants, testified
that since the contract was made b.,
which the Armour company has the
exclusive right to furnish refrigerator
cars on the railroad lines, the Mich
1gan belt fruit trade has decreased
almost one-half in Boston.
After leaving the witness stand Mr.
Mead said that Armour & co. have

LOOK TO CANADA.
American RailmaIxers Expect to Make
Big Sales Across the Border.

American railmakers are expecting
heavy rail orders from Canada for next
years delivery. Predictions of early fall
bookings for many thousand tons of
standard shapes for Canadian roads are
made by members of the rail pool, who
have exceptional opportunities of knowing
in what quarters rails are needed.
The prospects for orders are due to the
fact that Canadian roads are projecting
or about to build important extensions,
and in the instance of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, a. transcontinental line 800 miles
long The Canadian Northern and the Ca
madam Pacific both will need thousands of
tons of new steel rails long before the new
Canadian tariff of 81 per ton on American
rails can become operative.

There is nothing that will cause SO
much suffering and general disturbance
in the system as surely and insidiously
as viii trouble with the stomach. The
distress OF an acute gastric catarrh Is
very severe, and often causes complete
prostration. Tt is usually brought on
BY some error in diet, passes oil IN
short time, but viii return if care is not
used to avoid the cause of the irrIta-
ton. One of the first signs of chronic
stomach trouble is the loss of appetite.
This is frequently followed by heart
burn, sour quotations and headache.
AS soon as this organ becomes weak
ened, the whole system suffers, and loss
of weight and strength show that the
body is not getting sufficient nourish-
ment. Without a healthy, active stom-
ach the food taken into the body cannot
be properly cared for, and as all our
strength comes, of course, from the food
we eat, it follows that healthy stomach
must be the foundation of all strength
and energy. Many cases of so-cailed
heart trouble are simply aggravated
cases of stomach weakness. The heart
lies very close to the stomach, and
when the food taken in is not digested
properly, but stagnates and ferments,
gas Is formed, and this not only dis
tends the stomach Ike balloon, but il
also presses against the heart and
greatly impedes its action, which is tha
cause of heartburn. By the action Of
the decompOsing materials, the walls
of the stomach are stretched and lose
tone, and are unable TO secrete the
necessary fluids to digest the food, and
in this way the trouble rapidly becomes
worse and worse, and the muscle
walls of the stomach, which should
thoroughly churn and mix the con-
tents, are not equal to the task. In
such a case a good reliable remedy will
often work wonders, and DR.. Pierce'a
Golden Medical Discovery is unsur~
passed as a stomach tonic. Bitters
simply stir up the diseased organ to
/ further exhaustion, and alcoholic medi-
cines dry up the blood. DR.. Pierce's
medicine, on the contrary, gives tone
to its walls, and the natural appetite
/ promptly returns If you are suffer-

expect the best results if you take

ESTIMATED on basis per 100 miles of pre-
vic

lllildleu on OASIS per lOO miles OF pre-
Vious year.
The column showing the number of en-
plOyes per 100 miles of road is especially
significant. Commencing with 1898 the
average declined in two years from SIS to
al, and then rapidly rose until it reached
594 in 1902. This may have been consid-
erably exceeded in 1903. In 1894 the num-
Der of employees compared with the pre-
vious year had been decreased $4,000 or
10.7 per cent. An equal rate of decrease
this year would mean a reduction OF
something like 125, 600 men, but there is no
likelihood that any such reduction will be
made. On the other hand it is proba bio
that the work of pruning has been about
completed and that the coming harvest
will bring renewed activity which will
call for some increase in the present rail-
way forces.
1t may be further noted that the roads
making the largest decrease of employees
are those centering in group II OF the in
terstate commerce commission, cOmpriS-
ing New York. Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, in which the number of employees
for each 100 miles rose from 1,026 in 1897 to
the very high average of 1917 in 1902; the
actual number of employees in the same
time having increased in the same terri
tory over 5000 without much increase in
railway mileage
