LAUNCHING DATE
YET TO BE FIXED
Battleship Minnesota Likely to
Be Ready to Take the Dip
p. !. 49,. in March. -.:. -.~~s,
BY w. w. JerfnanS.

~. s
Washington, Feb. 8.-The& navy de-
partment has asked the contractors who
are building the battleship Minnesota
to suggest date when the vessel will
be ready for launching, and the reply
should be here some time next week.
It is understood at the department. that
the launching will take place in March,
but the date depends entirely on what
the contractors say. r. -
at the present session to. make an ap--
preparation for a silver service, a
bronze tablet, ship bell or something
equally appropriate, as gift at the
time the ship goes into commission.
The ship viii be finished and in act
i've service before the next legislature
meets. Navy department officials do
not care especially for a silver service,
as ship officers say such gift is used
only occasionally. A majority Of these
officers prefer either a handsome bronze
tablet, appropriately inscribed, to be
set at some suitable place on the main
deck, or handsome ship bell. The leg
islature, however, is free eto make its
own selection of a gift, for no official
suggestions will be made.
~ At the time of the launching 1t is
expected that representatives of the
company should include the governor
and such other state Officers. as may
choose to come, as we'll as members OF
the legislature, and therefore the gov
ernor, or some other proper person, may
care. to communicate with the navy de-
partment with regard to a date for the
launching. The department. will be
glad to receive any suggestions Gov
ernor johnson may have to make, and
to comply with them as far as may be

Tewfik Pasha, the foreign minister,
offered to settle the Syrian railway
question satisfactorily to the French
claimants and, to purchase military
equipment to the amount of $4,000, 900
in France. The ambassador, however,
demanded the expenditure of $6,00O,-
900, that being one-third Of the value
of the new armament, with French gun
factories and the complete satisfaction
Of the French demands regarding the
railroads.
These terms the ambassador declared
to be final, and, not having received a
reply Feb. 6, refused to continue the
negotiations. = >1r '''s7'74 g 77'
Then the Ottoman bank withdrew its
proposals for the projected loan and
notified the minister of finance, Reshad
Pasha, that it would not entertain any
request for the government for adj

the porte g aid.
The Germans are thus for the mo-
ment in complete possession of the finan-

promulgated ordering the purchase of
all the new guns in German factories.
But it has been decided only to rearm
sixty batteries at present instead Of
142, as originally proposed.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 8.--Governor
Cummins and former Governor Van
SAINT of Minnesota addressed the Corn
Belt Meat Producers association last
night. Both predicted action at the
present session Of congress on the rate
question. Governor Cummins an
nounced his disapproval Of the Esch-
Townsend bill.
IoWa's governor, despite his illness,
impressed his hearers when he ex-
planned the reason that the meat pro-
ducer Of Iowa must ship his cattle and
hogs out Of the state to be manufac-
tured into meat to be shipped back
again.
"Why are there not packinghouses
everywhere over the land where con.
ditions are favorable and where mar
kets can be found7o he asked. An
swering his own question he said:
The man who wants to go into the
business Of buying cattle and hogs can
not do so upon even terms with those
who are already in the business, and
l say that this desire, as old as human
ity itself, to make money would speed
lily dissolve the iniquitous combination
for the unholy,. unlawful, unjust part
nership between the packers and the
railways. es5S$ - 1S@-.s..-E'
etsI choose my words deliberately
when I say that it is unfair to allow
any packer to own his own cars. It is
an outrage now sueffred long enough to
permit any industrial combination or
company to enter into the business of
the common carrier whether thru the
phivate car or sidetracks or any other
pretense or device. - -s -"
elf man wants to start packing
house in Des Moines he ought to know
that he not only can reach the ultimate
market with his product as cheaply as
the packer in, Chicago, but he. ought to
know that the railway will furnish. the
same facilities for moving his product
that it furnishes to the packers in Chi
cago or elsewhere
Governor Van SAINT discussed the
Northern Securities merger, but spoke
briefly, yielding. most Of the time to
Governor Cummins. :. 49,. /" 49, .
The meat producers passed resolu-
tions Endorsing President Roosevelt,sde
claring that. the interstate commerce
committee should have authority to fix
rates at once; urged the enlargement of
foreign markets by reciprocity meas
uses; denounced railway passes and the
bribing of trusts and finally declared
that the Iowa delegation in Washington
is slow to. hear the voice of the people.

CrystaIIized Poison!

Your blood II always full OF poison - the
POISON you eat and drink and breathe into your

they, in turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail And some
times, from some other cause, the blood gets %
full Of poison that they cannot absorb 1t all.
This 10 the start of rheumatism. The poison
accuEulates and crystallizes. The crystals look
like little grains Of sugar or Of 1ne white sand.
The blood carries them and they increase IN size.
Then, when It can carry them no longer, 1t de-
,osits them in joint-on bope-anywhere.

rheumatism includes lumbago, sciatica:

rheumatic poison in the blood.
Plainly, the frst thing to do IL TO rsmoys the
poison. But this is not enough. The formation
Of the poison must be stopped 30 that nature
may have chance to dissolve and eliminate the
crystals which have already formed. Unless
this Il done there can be no cure-no permanent

to want tosspeak, and the members who
control the time, parcel it out in minute

minutes time, and after addressing the
chair are granted permission to extend

ord. The real orators will not be

Today's discussion was opened by Mr..
Thayer (Mass.) who! congratulated the
president, the republican party and the
majority of the committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce for adopting
what he declared to be purely demo-
cratic measure. After characterizing
the Hepburn bill as also a democratic
measure, he charged that it had been
pulled down at the instance Of the pres
ident as not meeting with his approba-
ton. The Hepburn bill, he said, no
more resembled the Townsend bill which
represented the position Of the admins

per cent.
This German chemical is not the only ingre-

it made the remedy possible-msde possible
achievement which, doubt not, could have been
made in no other way.
This chemical was very expensive. The duty,
too was high. In all 1T cost me 80 per pound.
But what is $500 per pound for real remed.
for the worlds most painful disease-for real
relief from the greatest torture human beings
know?
don't mean that DR.. Shops Rheumatic Cure
can turn bony joints into flesh again-that fs
impossible. But 1t will drive from the blood the
poison that causes pain and swelling. and then
that il the end of the pain and swelling-the end
