TO DESTROY THE DOCKS.
Second Attempt Was Made, But the
Dynamite Failed to Explode.

st. Marys, Ohio. May GA second
attempt within year was made to-
day to destroy the docks of the Grand
reservoir. Two charges of dynamite
were placed, but one failed to ex-
plode 1t was evidently the intention
of the unknown miscreants to blow
up the upper and lower gates and al
low the sea of water to escape into
the low lands and imperil the lives
Of many farmers. The charge under
the upper gates failed to explode and
a terrible disaster was thus averted.
The explosion of the charge under
the lower gate tore the gates from
their fastenings and threw them
clear. out of the lock. The heavy stone
masonry was badly wrecked and dead
fish are scattered over the ground
200 feet from the lock. Thomas Car
per. an old fisherman. was slightly
injured by flying splinters.

OPINION OF MOODY
Attorney General Replies TO Senats
Committee.
A. SUMMARY OF HIS. VIEWS.
The Government Has Pswer TO Fix
Railroad Rates-courts May InVes-
tigate to Remedy In1ustfee-it Is
Not judicial.

e ~
Washington, May S.-Attorney Gen
eraI Moody has sent an opinion on
Certain points of law connected with
Interstate commerce.
After discussing the points at
length, citing many authorities, the
attorney general concludes as fol-
lows: a+r 4 44r
The views which / have expressed
may be stated briefly as follows:
1. There is a governmental power
to fix the maximum future charges of
carriers by railroad, vested in the leg
islatures of the states with regard to
transportation exclusively within the
states, and vested in congress with re-
gard to all other transportation.
?. Although legislative power,
properly speaking, cannot be delegat-
ed the law-making body having enact
ed into law the standard of charges
which shall control, may intrust to
an administrative body not exercising
in the true sense judicial power the
duty to fix rates in conformity with
that standard.
3. The rate-making power is not
judicial function and cannot be con-
ferred constitutionaIIy upon the
courts of the United States, either by
way of original or appellate jurisdic-
ton.
The courts, however, have the
power to investigate any rate or rates
fixed by legislative authority and to
determine whether they are such as
would be confiscatory of the property
of the carrier, and if they are judici-
ally found to be confiscatory in their
effect, to restrain their enforce
ment.
5. Any law which attempts to de-
prive the courts of this power is un-
constitutional.
6. Any regulation of land trans
portation, however exercised, would
seem to be so indirect in it's effect up
. on the ports that it could not consti-
tute@a preference between the ports
of different states within the meaning
of article 1, section 9, paragraph 6, of
the constitution. a
T. Reasonable, just and impartial
rates determined by legislative au-
thority are not within the prohibition
of article L, section 8, paragraph 6, of
: the constitution. even though they
result in a varying charge per ton per
mile to and from the ports of the diff
ferent states. :.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM H. MOODY,
Attorney General.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffer
Ing from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
Il became satisfied some months
ago that owed the palpitation Of the
heart, from which I suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee Il had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but l
found it very hard to give up the beV-
erage.
81 realized that I must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but l
felt the necessity for hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking, l
was at a loss for awhile what to do.
zone day l ran across a very SEN
sible and Straightforward presenta-
ton of the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was so impressed thereby
that / concluded to give it trial. My
experience with it was unsatisfactory
till l learned how it ought to be pre-
pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than Is or 20 minutes. After
learned that lesson there was no
trouble. Postum Food Cohee proved
to be a most palatabIe and satisfac-
tory hot beverage, and l have used il
ever since.
The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely
cured the heart palpitation from which
used to suffer so much. particularly
after breakfast, and l never have re
;arn of it except when dine or lunch
away from home and am compelled
to drink the old kind Of coffee because
Postum is not served. fLd that Pos
tum Food Coffee cneers end invigor-
ates while it produces no harmful
stimulation Name given by Postum.

ACROSS BOTH GULF AND SEA.

Washington, May 6.-The compre-
hensive system of wireless telegraph
service being established by the
bureau of equipment of the navy de-
partment contemplates connecting
New Orleans and Panama. This will
necessitate the installation at New
Orleans of a powerful station as the
distance between that city and Pana-
ma is about 1900 miles. There is a
clear seaway across the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea with
out land obstructions between the

THIS DOCTOR WAS OUT.
Incident in Night Practitioners Ex-
perienee Told by Himself.

perience Iot0 by F5imSelr.
A prominent physician in Balti-
more recently perpetrated "a witt.
cism at his own expense. 1t was late
at night. The doctor had lost his
night key; the door was locked; he
was cold from long ride, and the
more he rang the bell the more the
suspicion grew in his mind that some
one had chloroformed the entire
household
Finally, however, his sister was
aroused by a long ring of the bell.
Naturally she thought that there was
someone at the door who wished to
see the doctor, and that, as the doc
tor was out, she would herself have
to answer the summons, else the call
er would keep her awake for long
time. So. hastily throwing loose
gown over her nightdress, she hur
ried to the door.
Opening the door the least bit, in
order not to present her dishabile to
an intruding eye, she shouted through
the crack in a tone of sleepy impa;
tience. 1.-The doctors out, and was
about to close the door when the
physician thrust one foot through, at
the same time exclaiming:
Yes, / know the doctors out, but
he wants to get in! ''-Harper's
Weekly
