ANOTHER BIG GIFT
ROCKEFELLER DONATES ADDI-
 TIONAL $1O0,OO0 FOR MISSIONS.
Money Was Solicited by Mission Board to Erect Missionary Houses In Foreign Fields Was
 Not Voluntary,

Boston. April 10.--A gift of $20O,0 from John D. Rockefeller to the Ameri- can Baptist Missionary Union was an- nounced today by Treasurer c. w. Perkins at a meeting of the Executive Committee.
 One-half the amount was received last Friday and the receipt of the do- nation was made public at that time. At the meeting today Treasurer Perkins said that an additional $100,000 from the same source was at its disposal to be used exclusively for the construc- tion of mission buildings in foreign lands. This money has not yet been received, but will be available when ever the demands of the work contem- plated require 1t. Neither gift, the treasurer said, was voluntarily con- tributed by MT. Rockefeller, both hav- ing been negotiated by officers of the union who were desirous of raising funds to meet the growing needs of the work in which the union is engaged.
 MT. Perkins made the following statement after the meeting:
 "No action is ever taken in regard to the aceptance of gifts and the usual course has been adopted in this in- stance. No one suggested that the gift ought not to be accepted. Every one seems grateful for such a generous contribution.
 Tt is not likely that the money for building purposes will be called for immediately. We shall ask for it as we need it."

Heart Beats After Death.

Hearts of cold-blooded animals will beat for a comparatively long time af- ter death or removal from the body (if kept cold and moist), because of powerful internal collections of nerves, known as ganglia. whose automatic im- pulses cause the regular contractions of the muscles. Similar ganglia exist in man and other warm blooded ani- mals, but their action is less prolonged. Scientists have ascertained that tur- ties heart will beat after removal if put on a piece of glass, kept cool and moist and covered with a bell jar It has been known to beat thirty-six or even forty eight hours; twelve or fourteen hours is a common record for turtles heart

PLANS NOT FORMULATED.
Garfield Has Anti-Investigati0n Con-
 ference with H0ch.

Topeka. Kan, April 10.-James R. Garfield. commissioner of corporations, who arrived here last night to begin an investigation under the Camppeli resolution as to the relative price or crude and refined oil especially in the Kansas fields, held a conference nere today with Gov. Hoch.
 My plans are not yet perfected" said Mir. Garfield previous to the con. ference. T cannot perfect them until I have looked over the Kansas held and familiarized myself with the po- sition."
 In reply to a question Commissioner Garfield said that he had been working on the Standard Oil situation for seve- ral months.
 'The early agitation" ne said, fin Kansas interested me as 1t is practi- cally a repetition of what we went through in Ohio several years ago. The relation of the total production of crude oil to the demand is naturally very important matter in this investigation. The Standard oil Company seems to have raised the cry of reproduction as a defense against the charges and this claim is one of the things that we will go into very carefully. It is not our intention to take anything for granted. We expect to make an inves- tigation with freight and other trans portation questions, in connection with inquiry regarding the price of crude oil. In short, we will secure every available fact regarding the oil industry, not on- ly in Kansas, but the country over.
 "For years past the government has been gathering statistical information which will be of great value if proper ly applied to conditions. The difficul- ty has been in making proper japplica- tion and arriving at correct conclu- sions The matter of using these statis- tics and other facts to the best advan- tage is some thing that President Roosevelt and his advisers are studying very carefully and their conclusions will have great bearing on the whole corporation question.
 There is one thing in connection with an investigation of this character that the public seems to overlook. The fact that the profits resulting\ from a price fixed through an agreement are small, is not material The mere fixing of any price or the attempt to fix any price through agreement is in violation of the antitrust law. In the beef trust inquiry the Martin resolution directed the department to make an investiga- ton regarding the profits of the pack CTS. This was only part of the ground covered by the investigation and proof or lack of proof has no relation to @ charge \of violation of the law. The same things could be true in the case of the Standard"

also had no reason to doubt the vera city of the many African men and wo- men, who told them blood-curdling accounts of their former treatment. The negroes being an Eastern people, love excitement, and they were quick to see the kind of story which won for them an always interested audience.
 So in our unchristian treatment of our enemies. then and since. we have as time has proved. ''cut off our nose to spite our face" It was not to be expected that the missionary who came South full of zeal to lift up her ''black brothers would spend her time extolling the good qualities of those who had given her the cold shoulder. Since she was and Is socially ostracised by every Southern woman. so have heard. what chance could she have had or have to know our people as they truly were and are? When we hear these same negro sym pathizers today forever talking about the degredation of slavery. and that all the evils in the negro nature are attributable to that system. we can take 1t for granted that they are in earnest and truly believe all they say of our parents, for they have had no chance to find out the truth.
 The most bigoted Northerner who ever came South to educate the negro would have been the quickest to turn around to the side of right, had the South had the grace to have treated him to a goodly share of
 
 nature Love would have won every battle then just as it will today.
 When the negro was first poisoned against us then was the time to apply a powerful antidote of love For fifty years the deadly poison has worked and still. if I am not mistaken, we have the warrant that if we administer the corrective in sufficiently large doses. all traces ot the effect of the poison will gradually disappear.
 Now let us one and all at the blessed South wake up and show to the North what We can do. if we once put our minds to 1t Who will lead the procession to go into the public schools and into the Sunday schools to teach the negroes and prove that we are as true friends to the young negroes as our parents were to their slave parents?
 The children of the old aristocraey will be the first to take the initiative. for they have never forsaken the poor negro. and their hearts have ached to see the suffering of the race. It has simply not occurred to them that they could go to them personally: But surely they will no longer hold back when they fully realize that 1t is now neces- sary to win back the love of every negro. And is there any other way to do 1t?

TRANSFERS OBDURATE.
NO PEACE DEVELOPMENTS ARE IN
 SIGHT.
Wagons of Montgomery, Ward q Go. are Manned by N0n-Union Men Hut Strike Threatens to
 Extend.

Chicago, April 10.--There was noth- ing in today's developments that would indicate that there Is to be a peace- able settlement of the strike inaugu- rated by the. teamsters against the Montgomery Ward Company.
 Wagons and vans of the big store manned by non-union men made several turbulent trips today. delivering goods to railroad freight houses. Although big crowds followed the caravans and the police were forced to break a num- Der of blookades, deliveries to the rail- roads were declared by the officials of the store to have been a great deal more successful than last weeks ef- forts.
 Forty members of the Employers As- sociation, at a meeting today issued e statement to the teamsters in an ef- fort to put a stop to the sympathetic strike. In the resolution adopted by the employers it also Is declared that under no circumstances will they allow the teamsters to interfere with the carrying on of legitimate business. as will be the case should the strike ex- tend to the other concerns in order to bring Montgomery, Ward & Co. to terms.
 The teamsters for the past two days have been threatening to declare sympathetic strike in other parts of the city unless a speedy settlement of the present struggle is reached. Today meeting of the Employers Association was for the purpose of considering ways and means to meet such con tingency. For time today 1t appear ed as if the freight handlers at the railroad freight houses would become involved in the difficulty. Fifty of these men employed by the Illinois Central quit work because two of their members had been Arrested for inter fering with the delivery of goods py non-union men. After being out Tor half an hour, however, they returned to work on the promise of the police that their companions would be re- leased.
 There are prospects that all the ex- press drivers will be drawn into the struggle as a body, although as yet only scattering members of the union are affected. Should these men declare a general strike, 1t is said that Federal in functions will be applied for by the express companies to prevent the driv- CTS from interfering with non-union drivers that may be employed by com panies to take places of the strikers

In what way does catarrh produce sciatica or rheumatism?
 Catarrh deranges the mucous sur faces of the whole digestive system. It disturbs digestion.
 It pollutes the very source of the bloodmaking energies of the body.
 Sciatica Is nearly always an exhibi- tion of nervous weakness. It is neu- ralgia of the large sciatic nerve and denotes an anemic or bloodless condi- tion of the nervous system.
 To enrich the blood currents and tone up the nervous vitality is the only permanent cure of sciatica and rheu- matism.
 Anodynes and counter-irritants often serve as palliatives, but they never cure.
 Peruna cures sciatica by increasing the powers of digestion and thus re- storing red blood corpuscles to the impoverished blood.
