INQUIRY IN HOUSE
MAY GUST BIXBY
Texas Member Starts Investiga-
ton Said to Be Directed at
Minnesotan. 49,
INVOLVES INTEREST
H.. IN INDIAN LANDS
Bixby Reported to Have Declined
Pay to Avoid Signing Re-
quired Oath. .
By w, w. JSrmanO.

<., Washington, Jan. 2s.-Tams Bixby
may be getting into more trouble with
the government. The other day the
house adopted resolutions introduced by
Representative Stephens Of Texas, in
quiring whether or not any member or
employee Of the Dawes Indian commits
sion had failed to take the oath re-
quired, that he is not interested in In
dian lands, and had thru such failure
been unable to draw his salary.
The resolution, it seems, was aimed
straight at Mr.. Bixby, who it is said
here, has not drawn any salary since
the law demanding the oath referred to
was enacted about a year ago.
The members and employees of the
ly at Muskogee, Indian Territory, where
the government maintains disbursing
| office. Before drawing his salary each
man on the payroll must subscribe to
the oath Of the statute, and this, it is
believed, Bixby has not done, altho thus
far no official information has reached
Washington bearing out the impression.
The secretary Of the interior has writ.
ten Bixby, asking if the rumor back of
the Stephens resolution Of inquiry il
well founded, and if it is, demanding
that 'Bixby explain his conduct. This
letter was forwarded yesterday.
Failure to take the oath seems to
mean that Bixby has not fully complied
with the law, and should this prove tic
be the case, he will probably be put on
the carpet by the federal authorities
His dismissal under these conditions
would be almost certain to follow.

MERGER STOCK At
NEW HIGH MARK
Wall Street Opinion Has tho Su-
preme Court Denying Harri-
man Appeal.
Special to Tho Journal.

New York, Jan. 29.-Northern Securi-
ties stock made a new. high record to-
day, selling on the curb at 1868. The
opinion prevails in some quarters that
the supreme court will throw out the
Hartman petition for writ of appeal on
Monday. North estern advanced 1917
points to 240, and other northwestern
stocks were strong in sympathy. Prac-
tically unlimited orders were given to
buy, Union Pacific; St: Paul and other
enormous trading up to the close. The
whole list naturally moved UP in line
with northwestern railway issues. If
the action indicated takes place there
will be speedy dissolution Of the North
ern Securities company on pro rata
plan. < ~
A new combination has already been
fixed by. rumor, giving Northern Pacific
to North Western and St. Paul jointly.
| The point was made that these two com
panies could very we'll control North
ern Pacific because they do not parallel
it to the Pacific coast. A report is also
current that the North Western and St.
Paul companies would issue securities
to carry thru the reported deal. This
has long been a fay orite way of ac-
counting for any sensational advance in
these shares - T..
! One significant thing was the large
absorption of North Western. Appar-
emily somebody wanted the stock and
was willing to-spay "a good price for
! it. For some days it has been reported
that North-W estern is to have a 25
point move. "-.. ~

BEEF TRUST GAINS

New York jan. 28.-The beef trust
has raised the wholesale price of meat
in New York city one-half cent a pound.
The advance took effect Wednesday,
the day of the blizzard. ss Y,
The members of the beef trust are
the only people who have sought to
take advantage of the cold snap to
wiring extra tribute from New York
consumers. Fish is not high. Milk has
not gone mp altho two days supply il
now virtually stalled in the snoMdrifts
on the various lines uf raIff bad y tn
in 200 miles OF the metropolis. Butter;
eggs, cheese, provisions 1of every kind,
al remain unchanged in price. 80. .==
" But every natural product controlled
by the beef trust has gone up in New
York. Yet no meat trains have been
stalled. .. There. is no famine nor any
prospect Of any. The wholesale butch
ers in New York cannot deliver all the
beef they already have on hand, owing
to the snow, and that circumstance has
added to the supply: of fresh meat IN
the hands of the agents Of the beef
trust in this city. Cattle and fresh
meat have been arriving every day
this week, both here and at Chicago.

New York, Jan. 2s.-''Ten years ago,

one of the local leaders Of the Russian
social democratic party, which believes

posed to the violent measures Of the

country has changed so suddenly as Rus
STA has done in the past few years. The
industrial progress Of the nation has
led to sudden concentration of large

"Graft' Payments Necessary.
''In order to understand properly the
some idea of the industrial system Of
Russia, which is decidedly different
from that Of America and other ad
vanced countries. Here the government
is neutral or is supposed to be neutral
in the struggle between capital and
labor, but in Russia it is heart and soul
with the employer. 49,.
"In the first place, every factory
owner has to obtain permit from the
ness, even If he is only going to open
a small workshop with q dozen or TWEEN
ty men employed. This provision Of the
law excites widespread discomfort thru
out Russia, for it has a powerful effect
in preventing man from getting on II
the world. =.
"In order to obtain the permit, the
payment Of graft to numerous off
cials is necessary. They fix their
workman who has, saved up enough
money to start q small factory Of his
own is unable to do 50, simply because
he cannot satisfy these greedy officials
Then, too, they may take bribes from

REFUNDS ON SEED
WHEAT OPPOSED
Farmers in Minnesota and North
Dakota Object-Plans May
Be Dropped.
BY W. w. Iermana.

Washington, Jan. 2s:-Representa-
tive Tawney says he understands that
protests have come from various parts
of North Dakota and Minnesota against
the proposal to import Canadian seed
wheat free of duty. The North Dakota
delegation is likely to oppose the legis-
lation and so is Representative Steener-
son of Minnesota. who has word from
his district that farmers there have
plenty of home grown seed and do not
desire to import. This being the case,
Mr.. Tawuey is not disposed to press
the matter before the ways and means
committee next Wednesday. However,
should Mr.. STEVENSON introduce a reso-
luton addressed to the committee ask
ing for action, he take the case
up But at present he thinks the out
look for such legislation is not good. &C.

Every one of these cases of pneu-

could have been prevented by

Why You Nay Feel
Worse After Treatment

= Nothing illustrates SO well the
potency of Osteopathic fingers III
changing the course Of disease as
that patients show an immediate
response in average cases. This
response is general a pleasure !,
BILE feeling of exhiliration, which
makes the patient sure he is get
ting better. But in a lot OF Ills
this buoyancy is wanting, and IN
: place of it the patient feels tenn
porary aggravation of his symp-
toms, or even general i'll health:
This is perfectly natural, and
should be taken as an excellent
sign of recovering health's equl-
librium., 49,.
There is nothing artificial about
Osteopathie methods. If the tunc-
tons of an organ are sluggish,
the nerve center of that organ
must be reused into normal actlv-
ity. Accomplishing this may only
be done successfully by revers-
ING the vital tendencies at work
that is. setting up proper nu-
tritive conditions at the center In
yolved; admitting this nerve CEN
fer to it's full share of blood food
and good drainage-health con-
ditions of which it has been de-
prived, and thus in gradual way
arousing active functioning in
the somewhat dormant center.
The natural consequence in this
nerve center is temporary irrita,
ton. Nervous tissue acts normally
in response to irritation, and
without proper irritation every
function of life would promptly
cease. 1t is only by returning
healthy stimuli to nerve centers
that they can be made to wake
UP to healthful action; and when
such mending has begun it Is
only natural that centers should
for a brief time seem over-active
before equilibrium has been re-
stored.
