Piney Flats, Tenn, May 29th.-
Especial Cured in two days Of Rheu-
matism that had made his life tor
ture for two years, D. S. Hilton Of
this place naturally wants every
other sufferer from rheumatism to
know what cured him. 1t was Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the grand
est pill on EARTH" says Mr.. Hilton.
'T would not take any sum Of money
for what they did for me. For two
years I had what the doctors called

in my back and hip and legs. ! tried

dose all pain left me and it has never
come back since. can't praise Dodds
Kidney Pills too much
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Healthy kidneys take
all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy

ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers we're lost in the memorable
battle Of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-five principal ones Of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles Of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post.
In 1908 the War Department in
stalled test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant SO evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-
fined it's acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied Of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages Of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number OF
plants in Indian schools and other gov
eminent institutions.

They told their patrons that there

SO the county had decided to get out

be connected with the publication of
the map, and the patrons were asked
to sign orders for photographs, so that
the firm could get new ones.
John Strattman Of Barre, who came
to La Crosse with the story, said that
he had discovered that the signatures
were affixed to a note for SIS. 1t was
found that the county board had not

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play7

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the "Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements of
diction, q good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfOunded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office. has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons Tor each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

der for next Wednesday.
The senate Saturday concurred in
the assembly bill to strengthen the cor
rupt practices law, so that candidates
for Office must file their campaign ex-
pense accounts or be disqualified to
take their Offices, and also be liable
to prosecution. The upper house
amended the bill to exempt such can
didates as had not spent more than So
in their campaigns. Senator Burns
tried to get the bill laid over until next
week, but the senate refused, and he
made a vigorous speech in opposition.
He declared that the principle involved
in the bill was as out of date as the
nquisition-about 300 years behind
the times, he declared. He said that
it was contrary to the spirit Of our in
situations and humiliating and degrad-
ing to men against whom there is not
breath of suspicion, and it would
operate to restrain the best citizens
from seeking Office. Senator Martin
spoke for the bill, saying that the old
law needed strengthening or repeal
ing. The senate already in the present
session had refused to. repeal the old
law, he said, and now ought to vote to
enforce it. He said that such candi-
dates as he and Senator Burns had
way of escape opened to them in the
senate amendment which exempted
such candidates as spent less than S.
in their campaigns. The bill was pass
ed by vote of IA to II.

His motion carried This morning
Senator Roehr moved to reconsider
the vote By which the motion to recon
slider was laid over until Thursday.
Lieut. Gov. Davidson ruled the motion
out Of order for the reason that there
had been only one motion made by
Senator Noble, to reconsider and lay
over the vote thereon, and that it
could not be divided, nor could the
motion to reconsider a motion to re-
consider be entertained. Senator Roehr
appealed from the decision of the
chair, won by vote Of IL to Is, and
then the motion to reconsider the
vote by which the motion to recon
slider was laid over was entertained,
carried, and the motion to reconsider
was before the senate. This was de-
feated, and therefore it will be impos-
sible to bring up the bill again at this
session.

The senate Friday morning unan1-
mously ordered to third reading and
engrossment the bill to make an annu-
al appropriation for the support OF the
university equal in amount to an an
nual tax of two-sevenths of one mill
on each dollar Of assessed valuation
on all general property of the state.
This means $640,000 this year.
Debate was occasioned by an
amendment offered by Senator White
head to substitute for the provision for
continuous appropriation, year after
year. provision for specific approprl-
ations for present and the next two
succeeding years. The amendment
was defeated by a vote of 20 to Z.
Senators Beach, Johnson, North
Smith, Whitehead, Wolff and Wright
voting for it.
In support of his amendment, Sena-
tor Whitehead made a vigorous speech
in favor of the biennial appropriation
system in preference to the continu-
GUS plan. Under his amendment the
university would receive $4,000 this
year. s56O,O00 in 1906 and 100000 in
1907.
Senator Hatton, who has had charge
of the university bill, briefly answered
Senator Whitehead, saying that the
committee on education had carefully
examined and considered with the ut
most elaboration and care the reasons
for changing from the specific to the
percentage system; that the commit
tee on claims had done likewise, and
the result was the bill as presented to
the senate.
Senator Burns said the beauty Of
the percentage system was that under
it. the university appropriation would
increase steadily with the growth of
the wealth of the state, and that it was
reasonable to be expected that the uni
versity would grow prOpOrtionately
He declared the university had not
been treated adequately under the
short-sighted system of specific bien-
NAL appropriations: that it had been
impossible to plan for the future, and
the university had to lead a kind of
hand-to-mouth existence. Senators
Hudnall and Roehr also spoke against
the amendment, urging that the uni
versity ought to have something to
depend upon as to the future and not
be left to the mercies, whims and ca
prices of each legislature.
