Could Not Do Business.

The decision says that mo other indi- vidual could do business in competition with the Colorado Fuel and Iron company irl this field unless he enjoyed the same freight rate advantages; that when other individuals endeavored to make contracts in competition with the Colorado Fuel and Iron company they were compelled to pay the published rate and therefore were unable to furnish the coal; and that under this agreement the Santa Fe company and the Colorado Fuel and Iron company virtually entered into partner ship in the handling of this coal in the execution of which the published sched- ules of the Santa Fe were utterly disre- garded.
 The decision says that a number of other operators in New Mexico besides Mir Bowie and the Calendonia Coal com pany, found it difficult to dispose of their products in competition with the Cobra do Fuel and Iron company; the commis- sion deduces a number of general facts from the evidence. The Santa Fe com pany, 1t says. acted as agent for the Col orado Fuel and Iron company in collect ing from its customers the price of the coal itself along with the freight rate, and the evidence showed that in one in stance at least this also was done for the Victor Fuel company. Under this arrangement the Santa Fe instructed its agents to bill coal in certain points at which the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany operated to various stations on it's system at figures to be furnished by the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and the practice seems to have been to em- brace the price of the coal and the freight rate in single item which ap- peared on the expense bill as freight Continuing the commission says:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-02-04
Would Have Worked an Advantage.

"If the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany had in all cases paid the published tariff rate which was eXacted from other shippers the fact that price of the coal and freight were included in single item would have worked no practical advant- age to that company so far as we can see. Neither would there have been ap- parently need for this arrangement if the purposes of the parties had been hon est. If. however, there existed on the part of the Santa Fe company an intent to charge the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pane less for the transportation of it's coal than the published rate 1t is evident that this method of billing would afford ready means for concealing the trans action. In point of fact, during the en- tire period covered by this investigation the Santa Fe company did transport coal for the Colorado Fuel and Iron company for less than it's open tariff rates, and these concessions amounted in many cases to the price of the coal itself
 Under the joint tariff filed May 24 19O3. and effective until November 27, 1904. the railroad parties to that tariff allowed the Colorado Fuel and Iron company a con- cession on all coal transported under these joint rates of S1.15 per ton. Mir. Bid dle. freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe. testified that of the S4.05 received by the Santa Fe, S1. 15 was always paid to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company with the full Knowledge of the Fl Paso and South western. These railroads therefore col

of life. It is a feeling common
to the majority of US that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains

Nothing has such record of

the two being fast friends. DIR.

hemorrhage. The weapon used was
38-callibre, the bullet entering
straight from the front. Trotter
had been drinking, but the arresting
officers say Mitchell WAS perfectly
sober. He gave as an excuse for
the shooting that Trolter Continued
To slap his face, after be had several
times warned him to quit and after
walking away from him. Eye wit
nesses say the two men appeared to
be jesting, Trotter striking at Mitch
ell in play, az the two were waiting
for train home. A woman rela-
tive was the first to Trotter's side.
Mitchell gave himself up promptly
to II plain clothes man, and was car
ried to Jail in the hurry-up wagon.
He appeared to be not the least dis
concerted. His family is about the
most prominent and Influential in
Leesville. He is the son of Crowell
Mitchell, of that place. Trotter was
unarmed. Both bear good reputa-
tions.
The killing occurred in the pres
ence of large number of people,
the station being crowded inside, on
the verandas, in front and under the
sheds downstairs. The shot was
fired on the veranda overlooking the
sheds Immediately in front of the
colored waiting room. Herhaps two
thousand people were at the station
waiting for special or regular trains

Hughes Was Insane.

Edgefield, October 24.-The case of
Asbill against the estate of b. b. Hughes,
the only case of the kind ever litigated
in the State, terminated Saturday in a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
$3.50. The main questions in the action
were whether or not Mr.. Hughes, in a
fit of insanity, exterminated his family
set fire to the house and then committed
suicide. The verdict of the jury answers
these questions affirmatively.
The public will recall the fearful
tragedy enacted at Trenton about year
ago. Mr.. Hughes and family occupied
the house as tenants of Asbill, to whom
the property belonged
The suit was to recover the value of
the residence, it being alleged that Mr..
Hughes destroyed the same by wilfully
setting fire thereto.
1t was contended by plaintiffs that the
taking of his and his family's lives was
superinduced by financial troubles. A
witness testified that at 8 o'clock of the
day of the tragedy Mr. Hughes said to
him: IL am financially very much troub-
led, and the easiest way to get out
ssuch things is to take pistol and shoot
sspt of it,"
Some fifteen of the deceased's friends
testified that he was in good financial
condition, and gave no evidence of being
gloomy and respondent.
The conditions surrounding the bodies
the morning after the fire were minuse'y
described, and they pointed unerringly
to .he fact of Mr.. Hughes being the au-
tnOr of the horrible affair.
