$500 Fines Assessed by Judge Rob-

The fines against these liquor deal.
ers were assessed for alleged viola
lions of the mulct law in keeping open
their respective saloons on the fourth
day Of July 1903. There were also
other particulars cited in the charges.
The attorneys for the saloon keepers
commended in court that the Fourth OF
July was not a legal holiday but Judge
Roberts thought otherwise and as
sessed the fines.
The cases were appealed to the SUI
preme court or writs Of certiori. Are.

desired to withdraw, the decision OF

HEPBuRN's AAlLRoAD BILL is in.
TRnnucED MTHE HOUSE
TODAY.
GENERALLY APPROVED
Before Being Laid Before Congress
the Bill Was Submitted to President
Roosevelt, attorney General Moody
and others of the Administration.

Washington, Jan. I.-Representa
tive Hepburn today introduced his bill
amending the Interstate commerce act
which has been under consideration
for some time and which has been
submitted to the President, the attor
ney general and other members of the
administration.
The bill consists of twenty-one sec
tons, much attention being given to
details and the methods Of procedure
under which the commission and the
court of commerce which Is provided
for shall proceed.
The Administration Measure.
The bill will be followed by ar Off
cial endorsement, in which it will be
stated that the measure fully meets
the Presidents views and contains all
of the requirements which he consid-
ers Of vital Importance. The indorse-
ment will stamp the Hepburn bill as
the administration measure, which is
what Mr.. Hepburn has been seeking
to accomplish, but will not go SO fa1
as to indicate that any other bill which
embodies the same principles will not
be satisfactory to the President.
ASgya nSOISdt1ZCS NOIntOIS6ICHs
The Hepburn bill abolishes the in
terstate commerce commission, but
substitutes a new commission with
practically the same powers, and adds
a court with power to fix new rates
in place OF those which have been de.
clared unreasonable by the commission
of inquiry. The rate making power
will give the, court a club with which
it is expected to have no trouble in eff.
fectively prohibiting secret rebates.

spirit led him to buy Elimino and
Eliminatum for the helpless sufferer
from Rheumatism at Murray, Iowa,
has been located. Our druggist, Mr..

The latest report from Murray is
that the poor fellow who was so bad
that he had to lie on his back all the
time and was unable to move his legs
Is already able to move about and
walks ome with the aid of crutches
each day, and feeling much better.
Elimino and Eliminatum are house,

to introduce the mhere. They are able
to report many remarkable cures from
their use.

ond resolution providing for the ad,

of the central competitive district ia
be held in Indianapolis during Janu.
airy 1905 of the southwestern con1peti-
tive districts and the state Of Iowa,
was reported u%nfavorably by the COM
mittee late Friday afternoon. The
report encountered serious opposi.
ton and for more than an hour, dele
gates from the southwestern district
Of Iowa waged a serious debate in IA
vor of the adoption Of the resolution.
A vote finally resulted in the defeat Of
the resolution.
Ground for Opposition.
The Measure was opposed by a ma
jority of the national officers on the
ground that it would be unwise to
adopt such a resolution so far in adj
vance of the joint conference. The ar
Igument advanced by the supporters of
the resolution was founded upon their
belief that If all wage contracts were
to expire on March 81, 1905, there
could be but n motive-that, of call
ing q general strike in the event of
a failure of the central competitive
district to agree upon a scale In joint
conference; granting this motive, they
contended, they should be given voice
in the central district joint conference.
