coal in Des Moines for $3.50 and it has

the result of nothing more than the
combination Of dealers who handle
coal. 1t is also true with groceries,

Arrivjnu at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July O.-(SpeciaD-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that Of Mrs. M. l.. Dawson of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
II have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
/ was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since I took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full if it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadlsy of Yale University In his book
on Railroad Transportation, Is the case
Of the Aroostook potato growers
brought Ivy President futile OF the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
Of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight TO
ten million bushels, which find mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition Of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota'
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put Of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut Of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos.
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places. they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that if
, rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce.
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi>
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rOt.-EXchange.

THE DIP or DEATH.
A Thrilling Sensation In the Great
Barnum & Bailey Show


Des NIoines. July lit has been
definitely announced that the Bar
nun & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth will exhibit in Spencer on
July Is, in Des Moines on July II,
and Creston on July IS. The tire.
mendous success of the circus in New
York where the season was opened
early in March has been duly herald
ed and the thousands of people who
visited the show at Madison Square
Gardel. have been loud in their praise
of the mammoth aggregation and the
same show replete with its many fea-
lures Of sensational greatness, COM
bined with its peerless presentation
of the worlds most marvellous exhi-
billions, will be exhibited in it's entire
ty wherever it is advertised to ap-
pear this season. The three rings,
two stages, and immense hippodrome
will serve to introduce a conclave OF
startling and stupendous acts, and
the geological display of the rarest
wild beasts will add to the magnitude
Of the attraction. The Dunbar at
Delhi, an exact presentation of the
historical jubilee at India, costumed
in the most gorgeous styles, the con-
gress of curiosities and the startling
feat "The Dip of Death"-an act
where daring woman leaps the gap
in all automobile, makes the show,
beyond doubt, the unapproacnable sue
cess of the season. The Brothers
Ancilotti, two young Frenchmen, at
tired in faultless evening dress. per-
form the thrilling feat of simultane-
ously looping and leaping the quad
ripple chasms-an act conceded by all
to be the highest acme of nerve and
fearlessness. The Lecusson Troupe
in coach acrobatic work, and the I'M
perial Viennese act of ten aerial
trapese performers are with this re-
markable tented aggregation this sea-
son.
A very remarkable exhibition of
the most meritorious nature, with
out an equal in the world for thrill
ing and daring, will be given free on
the circus grounds before the big
show opens. This is an entirely new
idea with the Greatest Show on
