Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
Of j.. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate In Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro.
tested against by the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, the Ort'er OF
Railway Conductors, and unions OF the
blacksmiths, machinists and lesraph-
er, boilermakers, railway trainmen'
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such q reduo"
ton would work against the prosper
ity of the state and lead to a reduc-
ton in the number of railroad en-
ployes as we'll as Of their wages. Tho
Travellers Protective association also
protested that reduction as proposed
would result in few trains and poor
service.

RESPONSIBILITY Placed.

i Princeton, Ind, April 29.-Coroner
Hollingsworth returned his verdict Fri
day in the recent coal mine disaster in
which eight men we're killed. He holds
Roscoe Hedrick and the Princeton Coal
company, which owned the mine, re-
sponsible. The verdict says that He'd
rick was incompetent to prepare the
shot which caused the explosion, and the
company knew this and is therefore to
blame. Harry Target, who fired the
shot and was killed, is also blamed for
knowingly firing an illegal shot.

Those who lead very active lives,

especially trying.
Athletes everywhere praise Pcruna

The vocation of some men may a.

He must keep in the "pink Of condi-

In order to do this he must avail
himself OF spring tonic upon which

Therefore athletes are especially
friendly toward Peruna.
Peruna never fails them.

Mankato, Nina, May 2.-Testimony
adduced yesterday in the trial of DR..
Koch tended to prove that DR.. Geb'
hardt, the murdered man, was haunted
by fear, inspired by the receipt OF
poison package, that some one sought
his life.
Miss Lydia Schapekalm, who vas
DR.. Gebhardt's office girl, told the
story Of the receipt of the package
through the mail and of the manner
in which the murdered dentist consid-
cred it at that time The day was de-
voted by the state to an effort to prove
that a previous attempt had been made
on the life of DR.. Gebhardt, and that
DR.. Koch was responsible for it.
Dr. Reinke went.on the stand just
before noon and told of seeing DR..
Gebhardt ten or fifteen minutes before
on the night of the murder. At that
time DR.. Reineke said, DR.. Gebhardt
was at work at his lathe polishing a
plate. All of the lights were burn
ing except the one in the reception
room. The witness also described the
circumstances surrounding the poison
package as he knew them, and of the
investigation following the homicide.
nr. j. H. Vogel, who is a college
chum of the defendant and had known
him many years, was called by the state
to testify as to the carbolio acid which
DR.. Koch borrowed from him on the
day following the homicide. He de-
scribed the sores on the defendants
hands when he and Dr. Strickler ex-
amined them on, Nov. 4; also the three
knives which he knew DR.. Koch owned.

change Of plan
r. BY President
DECIDES TO SHORTEN HIS vACA-
TON AND WILL BREAK
CAMP MAY 8.
Hunting Trip Has Been Very Success
ful-President and Others Of His
Party Killed Five Bears in a Period
Of Two Days.

Glenwood Springs, COL, April 2S.-
President Roosevelt will break camp
on May 8, a week earlier than he had
intended, and will start for Wash
ington at once. The only stops he
will make will be at Denver and Chi
cago, where the dates for his recep-
ton have been advanced to meet the
new arrangement. Secretary Loeb re-
turned early Thursday from the camp
whore he conferred with the presi'
dent ali of Wednesday. He announced
upon reaching here that affairs in
Washington made it necessary that
the president curtail his visit. That
there is nothing alarming in the stu
alton is manifested from the fact that
the hunt will be continued ten days
more, in spite OF conditions of gov
ernm mental affairs, which resulted in
the altered plans. The Venezuelan
situation, it is believed here, resulted
in the order to start home on May 8
There are also some routine but i'm
portant subjects relating to changes
in high public Offices in the diplomatic
service which the president alone can
direct, and taken altogether, it is ad-
mitted that while no real emergency
exists in the state of foreign relations
it would be better were the president
to take UP the direction of affairs per-
sonally a little earlier than he had
planned.
Hunters who are with the presl'
dent believe he has enough game to
satisfy him, and will have more than
enough when camp is broken on May
8. The president has taken a keen
delight in his outing, and has been sc
successful that he will not be greatly
disappointed in having to shorten 1t
OF the six bears killed by the hunters
thus far, the president has brought
down three and DR.. Alexander Lambert
the ether three. Four bears have been
killed by temporary attaches OF the
party and nearby ranchmen.
Hunt Is Successful.
Glenwood Springs, COL, April Co.
President Roosevelt's hunting trip has
been crowned with success far beyond
his expectations or those of the most
sanguine of his guides. Three bears
were killed by the party Tuesday and
two Monday, one by the president and
one by Dr. Lambert. P. b. Stewart, OF
Colorado Springs, one of the presidents
hunting companions, arrived here Tues"
day night, accompanied by Courier
Chapman. They brought the story OF
the hunt. The killing of the three bears
was telephoned to them, and they I'm.
derstood that President. Roosevelt
brought down two of them, but the de-
tails are lacking. The party is almost
snowbound in its present location and
no attempt will be made to cross the
GO.

sidered Misrepresentation. The COM
pany refused to recognize the cancella-
ton and at once shipped the machine
to Mr.. Evans who refused the machine
and declined to make payment for it.
The company brought suit against Mr..
Evans in the circuit court of Hutchin-
son county, and after the trial had pro-
ceeded to a certain point Attorney
Hitchcock moved to have the case dis
missed Joe Kirby, who appeared for
the company. withdrew the case imme-
diately without the decision of the
court, and then commenced an action
in the federal court at Sioux Falls to
foreclose ven doris lien. At the con-
clusion of the presentation of the evil
dence in the case Judge Garland took
the matter under advisement and rem
dered decision which relieves Mr..
Evans of the payment for the machine,
thus establishing the right of an indi-
yidual to cancel an order of this char
acter. Since the machine was shipped
to Parkston two years ago the company
has allowed it to stand out in the
weather and although the machine
could have been sold twice in the mean
time the company made no effort to dis
pose Of it.
