PRESENT LAWS ARE
 DEEMED SUFFICIENT
ACTION OF CHICAGO PACKERS HAS PLACED AGITATION FOR LAWS TO CHECK REBATES IN NEW LIGHT.

Washington, September 27-(Special.)- The reason for the abandonment of the extra sessien of Congress and also of the Presidents late silence on rate regula- ton is apparent now, according to the gossip in political circles in Washington. The reason became apparent to close ob- servers after the four men on trial in the packing house cases before the uni- ted States district court in chicago gave up the first last week, entered plea of guilty and were fined $25,000. For a long time past the department of justice real ized the strength of it's case, under exist ing law. The President also was un- doubtedly forewarned of the event, and could not but realize that existing laws were sufficient for the roofing out of the rebate evil if they were only enforced sharply enough. There is every reason to believe that the department of justice is of this opinion.
 Railroad officers have stated that re- bates were practically done away with by the law of February 27, 1903, which treats those who solicit or accept rebates as equal offenders with those who of fer or grant them. The railroads have been very cordial toward this law, be- cause. as railroad officials have often stated, a law to kill rebates is to their advantage if the government would see to it's enforcement.

New Fever Fighter.

Strange as it may seem a new fever fighter has made it's appearances in the form of Pluto Water, the native spring water of the French Lick Springs, Indi- ana. This water is said to be heavily charged with certain mineral elements which make it at once not only dis ease cure but a germ destroyer of the highest medical value.
 Hundreds of cases of. Pluto Water have already been prescribed by the health authorities and the water itself is in great demand in drug stores, special stations, and hei-vy shipments are reported from the springs direct to this city. It is doubtful if any southern water, in fact it is more than doubtful if any northern water, or any water in the country is so peculiarly adapted to preventing the fever and safe guarding the system against the entrance of the fever germs.
 What is of special interest to our read CTS is the fact that Pluto Water costs no more, in fact less, than other popular beverages, but at times like these which try mems souls most. more than the money and maybe even life itself to those who are unable to buy the more expensive waters.
 Readers are advised that if unable to secure Pluto Water at local drug stores. to apply to the wholesale druggists or ad- wise immediately French Lick Springs company French Lick, Indiana. Rush or ders are such a common occurrence that special arrangements have been made to insure instant shipment as soon as or ders are received.

club, held last night, all regular business was deferred to take up this, and an- other railroad proposition which is also promising. Weatherly Bros. will undertake the building of the Philadelphia line if the club will make a survey of the route and get a right of way. That was the tee, composed of H. R. Stone, Henry Broach, c. F. Woods. J. D. Watts and C.. C. Kendall. was appointed for these pur- poses Every business man in the city is directly interested in the success of this undertaking. especially since the completion of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad threatens a divis- sion of the trade of the territory inter- vening between this city and Philadelphia. which has always belonged to Meridian. There seems to be no doubt that the en- terprise will be promptly pushed to successful completion. Another railroad enterprise came up for consideration in a proposition from the Mississippi Lum- Der company, located at Quitman, to es- tablish plant for lumber manufacture in Meridian and build the long projected line from this city to the Tombigbee river, the charter for which was obtained sev- eral years, ago.
 iC. w. Bailey and c. l.. Gray was ap- pointed to take up this. proposition with the lumber company named.

Western Washington,

With its vast bodies of timber, affords ample opportunity for the establishment of lumber and shlngle mills. The soil is exceedingly productive, and fruit, grain and vegetables grow in great abundance, These find ready market in the lumber camps, the larger cities and the Alaska trade. Government timber can still be secured, while cut-over lands, suitable for dairying and truck gardening, can be purchased at reasonable prices along the line of the Seattle and International railway.

ter. But there is no doubt that the first opinion of the treaty is a fearsome one. It is considered to be most broad and far reaching. The use of the phrase "protec- tion of common interests" and measures which should be taken" are regarded here as being open to any Interpretation the signatories desire to give them.
 Coupled with the use of the words East Asia" apparently applying to all Asia east of India, including the East Indian islands, and Indo-China they are consd- cred to prove clearly that the signatories purpose is to act in the part of the world specified with the freest kind of hand. This conviction cannot but create alarm in Russia.

STRUCK ON HEAD WITH BRICK
Frank Geiser Meets with Accident as
He is Leaving the Krug
Theater.

As Frank Geiser was leaving the gallery
entrance Of the Krug theater last night he
was hit on the head by a brick The brick
fell from the caves of the building and
landed with great force on the right side
Of his head. The fact that he wore stim
hat probably saved him from a much more
serious injury. AS it was, the brick cut an
ugly. ragged cash in his head just back
and above the temple. He was taken to
the police station, where the surgeons
dressed his wound. 1t required six stitches
10 close the cut in his scalp.
Detectives were on the ground at the time
and took the case In hand at once. At the
left of the gallery door at the top of the
stairs there is a door leading out on the
roof Of the saloon adjoining, and along The
roof OF the theater proper there Is a water
spout, kind of trough or chute, which has
a rather steep pitch to the caves overlook
ing the street. The detectives think that
some careless or malicious boy or man
slipped out through this door and put a
briek in that chute and let it slide That Is
the only reasonable theory. There was no
sign Of loose brick on the wall nor mark
OF any lying where il could fall on.
Geiser was able to go home after his
wound was cared for at the police station
He lives at Sixteenth and California streets

TOGO REPORTS TO EMPEROR
japanese Admiral Given Great Ovation in
Nations Capital
POpULAcE TURNS OUT TO GREET HIN
Emperor Receives His Formal Report
and COmmends Him in Highest
Terms for HIS AccOmp-
Iishments.

TOXIC, Oct 22.-Today was made memoir
able in the annals Of Japan by the public
entry Of Admiral Togo, who came to re-
port to the emperor the return of his feet
from the war. The distinguished naval
officer arrived at the Shimbashi station at
1880 a. m. He was met by ministers Of
state generals, admirals, members of the
diplomatic corps and hundreds of officials
and private citizens who extended him
warm welcome to the capital He was
accompanied by HIS STAFF and Admirals
Kaataokaa, Kamimura and Dewa, to-
gether with their respective STATS. The
party entered FIVE imperial carriages placed
at their disposal and led by his majesty's
aide, Admiral Inouye, drove to the palace,
reaching there at II O'Clock, when they
were received in audience by the emperor.
Admiral Togo's carriage escorted by
bodyguard of troopers, passed under a
triumphal arch in front of the railway
station. The streets were lined with an ad-
miring crowd who shouted banzais as the
party passed along. The ring of the en-
thusiastc cheers mingled with the noise
of the bands was audible for a great dis
lance.
General Sakuma detailed three battalions
OF honor. The battalions were composed
of men from the Toxic garrison and were
under command of Major General Togo.
Four guns located at Hibiya park fired
salutes
The day was a beautiful one and all
Toxic was out. irrespective of age, to well
come the victor of the battle of the sea of
Japan.
Admiral Togo, after his audience with the
emperor returned to his ship. In receiving
Admiral Togo's report the emperor warmly
praised the service rendered by him, his
officers and men.
