harmless. You want one that is pleas
ant to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all Of these conditions.

and colds incident to childhood. II is

THE first candi late in the field in
Mississippi is J. 5. Hamm, a member
of the legislature, who is a candidate for
Congress from the Third district, with
the following platform:
Reformation of the civil service;
limited protection TO our industries for
revenue only; international control of
corporations, old age insurance by the
government; international divorce laws;
suffrage for women good roads; proven
ton of child labor; government regula-
ton aud control of railroad, telegraph
and telephone; the abolition of trusts,
except any trust organized by the farmers
TO raise the price of cotton; better con
trcl of interstate commerce; abolition of
polygamy; referendum to the people to
remove from Office any bad man; the
election of postmas,ers by the people;
no lawyer to speak IN any court more
than six m nutes, and not to take more
than six minutes to examine any wit
ness.
This platform is too heavy for any
one man and it is safe to predict that
Mr. Hamm will not be sent to Congress.

DANGER OF strike affecting $4,000
soft coal miners has been averted by the
assent of the operators committee that
wages shall remain unchanged. This
agreement is subject to ratification, but
this is nearly certain. AS the contro-
versy began with demand by the men
that the rate for pick mining be increas-
ed from 81 to Sc cents and by the oper-
ators that it be reduced TO Sc cents. The
agreement to leave the wages as they are
seemed TO be sensible solution of the
matter.

Opening of simplon Tunnel.

The Simplon Tunnel, the longest in
the world, was inaugurated yesterday
morning, when from the Swiss and
Italian sides the first trains passed
through, meeting at the center, where
there was the iron door which originally
prevented the oye flow Of a torrent of hot
water, and which yesterday opened for
the first time.
The weather at the entrance 10 the
tunnel was springlike, though the sur.
rounding mountains were covered with
snow, but once inside, the temperature
became very high. ENGINEER Braudau,
who had directed the worE on the tunnel,
conducted the Italian train, which part
of the way vas lighted by miners with
lanterns.
The train from the Italian end was
the FIRST to reach the iron door, but a
little later the train from the Swiss end
was heard on the other side of the door.
There was n brief time spent in COM
municaiing through the door by means
of hammering, and finally the door was
Knocked down amidst frantic applause
aud cries of "Long live Switzerland"
and "Long live Italy," Bands played

Engineer Brandau shook hands with
Engineer Rosemund, the director of the
work on the Swiss side, and the Italian
Bishop Noveara embraced the Swiss
Bishop Sion. The latter then preached
a short sermon, in the course of which
he said 1.-The church blesses progress. "

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 3, 1905.

!. ]. RYAN, secretary OF the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association, oil
Iowa as a result Of two-years' study OF
,be beef trust, has just issued state
ment analyziDg the Garfield report,
which has caused sensation in Iowa.
Mr.. RYAN charges Commissioner Tar
field with either gross incOmpetency or
else dishonesty. He takes up the report
in detail, and points out wherein 1t VIII
not stand the test of commercial reports,
census statistics, figures collated by the
Bureau of Agriculture or any other sta
tistical test. The Garfield report says
that the big slaughtering concerns kill
ed only 45 per cent Of the beef in 1903.
Mr.. Ryan finds that they killed from 90
TO 70 per cent. Mr.. Ryan obtained sta
tjstics from dealers in Iowa, and found
the average person in cities and towns
of that State consumes less than loD
pounds of beef annually-about hall rs
much as Mr.. Garfield credits to him.
Mr.. Evan concludes that the Garfield
report about doubles the amount OF beef
slaughtered outside the plants of the big
packers. That is, instead of slaughter
inc less than half of the cattle, the big
trust packers kill rather more than two
thirds. The Ryan analysis proceeds to
argue that it is we'll known that the
largest and latest cattle go to the big
packers. Thus, even if ii were true that
they were killing only Al per cent. OF
the total number of cattle, they would
be killing at least So, and probably 90,
per cent. of the number of pounds OF
beef. Mr. Ryan finds also that the COM
missioner overlooked many sources OF
profit to the packers. The statement
thst it costs them 1919 per head to
handle cattle, he ridicules, and points
out that if it be true, then the boosted
economies OF great modern factory
methods of conducting an industry are
fake: for the farmer can kill his own beef,
sell the hide to one man and the carcass
TO another, and do it all for far less than
this. The absorption of large part OF
the packers profits by the stock yards
companies, nearly all of which the pack
ers control, is discussed by Mr. Ryan.
He shows The excessive charges for
everything in the stock yards-leed,
commission, yardage, etc.-and demon
strates that these excessive charges re-
suit in immense profits on capitaliza-
tons Of the stock yards companies that
are largely water. Mr. Ryan finally
compares the Garfield report on the total
number of cattle annually killed in the
country with the census and Agricul-
tural Department reports. lie hnds
that if there were killed each year as
many cattle as Commissioner Garfield
claims. the national herd would be con-
stantly growing smaller. and would in a
decade or two be extinguished, for Mr..
Garfield makes the total slaughter larger
than the total increase by reproduction.

TEARING DOWN WALLS
OF BURNED BATTLE HOUSE

The Mobile Register says: Yester-
cay morning the work of removing
the remaining walls of the ruins of
the Battle House was begun. ]. F.
Barnes contracted with Mr.. Wizard to
remove all debris. and the tearing
down of all the standing walls will be
completed to-day.
The work which was begun yester.
day drew a large crowd, which re,
manned until Ozark. A rope was
thrown over the top of the wall on
the northwest corner of the building
and with the use of a stationary en-.
CINE. a large portion of the corner
came down, though not until consid
cradle work was done. AT the first
pull the rope broke. and after this
was repaired the WORK was continued
The constant pulling on the walls
caused the remaining structure To
shake. and as there is still danger oil
the walls falling, the fire lines were
not removed. Chief Rondeau had two
officers stationed on Royal and st
Francis streets and no one was allow
ed inside the lines.
AS soon as the walls are down the
work of cleaning the streets will be
gin. ana il is thought that in the next
twenty-four hours traffic will be re-
sumed on both St. Francis and Royal
streets.

JUDGE SWAYNE'S SUCCESSOR
in EVENT OF CONVICTION
1t Is Believed He viii Come from Neigh

BY Percy S. Hayes.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The question
Of the successor of Judge Swayne, as
Judge of the Northern District of Flor
ida, is now being talked of among the
republicans of the state of Florida, or
it might be stated. all over the south.
The general opinion seems to prevail
in Washington that Swayne's success
or, provided the judge is convicted,
and that now seems to be foregone
conclusion, will come from an adjoin-
ing district. Who this gentleman is
has not yet been divulged. although it
had been intimated that his residence
is within few hundred miles of Pen
sacola. From present indications
Sheppard, the present district attor-
sney for the district has but little
chance Of landing this very desirable
plum" In fact the party who is
now on the string seems to have the
entire republican organization of the
south, with few exceptions, behind
him, and as a consequence, it is more
than likely that he viii will be the
next judge of the northern district.
Attitude of Republicans.
me attitude OF the republicans of
Florida towards Judge Swayne is
something remarkable. He has only

Washington, Feb. 15.-1ne question
Of what policy the government should
pursue with respect 10 the upbuilding
of navy was again thrashed out on
the floor of the house to-day, during
the consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill, the debate developing
much opposition to the proposed addl-
ton of two new battleships TO our
naval establishment.
The matter of the defense of the
Philippines played an important part
in the discussion, while the events Of
the war in the far east from a naval
point OF view were given prominence
by the advocates of an increased navy.
A plea for economy was made by Mr..
Sparkman. of Florida. who predicted
that not in a generation nor possibly
in the next century would this coun-
Try become involved in war between
any of the great world powers.
Mr. Beall, of Texas, in opposing
large appropriations for the army and
navy declared that the United States
had gone mad over the spirit of mill
taryism (which was sapping the sub
stance of the people" The govern
ment was paying as much attention to
ceremony, pomp and power as any gov
eminent on earth, said Mr.. Beall, and
it was the most extravagant govern
ment on the earth.
Entertaining similar viess, Mr. Per-
kins, of New York, ventured the as
sertion that no gun or any ship now in
commission or on the new battleships
proposed by this bill, if they were
authorized, would ever fire a hostile
shot. He provoked sharp discussion
by declaring that the warships disinte-
grated inside of twenty years.

TRAGIC DEATH
OF INDIANA MAN
THREW HIMSELF IN FRONT OF

SUICIDAL INTENT.

Lake City, Feb. ia terrible trag-

Atlantic Coast Line train, coming in
from Fort White, ran over and instant

himself on the track. evidently with
suicidal intent. Just as the train was
rounding the 'Y' the engineer saw
the man braced between the tracks,
but too late to stop the train. Several
tax receipts were found upon him,
showing that he was from Indiana.
An inquest was held this afternoon.
