Traffic Manager III. NJ Emerson. In
sists That the Shipper Deals Directly
With the Armour Line and the Rail-
road is Not an Asent-Cost OF Re-
frigeratiOn on Berries to Northern
Markets

| Washington. October 19.-Several
traffic managers OF Southeastern rail-
roads testified before the Interstate
commerce Commission today in the
lDrivate car inquiry concerning the
manner of handling fruit and perisha-
ble products in their territory. Most
of them said they have entered into
arrangements with private car lines
by which the latter engage to take the.
responsibility for the handling OF the
fruit. the railroads acting as agents.
only. in the matter of transportation.
| A. Ellis. an ice manufacturer of Au-
gusta. Ga. submitted a contract his
lcompanv has to supply the Armour
Car Lines with ice. and gave many de-
tails concerning the ARRANGEMENT with
the private car line. He said ice was
lpaid FOR at $3.50 a ton.
| \ .G. Jackson. general freight agent
of the Georgia railroad. testified that
his road carried about 400 cars "a sea-

refrigeration crate rate on berries
from Carolina points to New York was

sisted that the shipper deals directly

said 1t would have required from 1.so0

A bit OF sentiment was responsible
for short stop at Lexington, where
the President was greeted by several
hundred people to whom he spoke
briefly. Lexington is the county seat
of Davidson county, the only county in
North Carolina that gave President
Roosevelt a majority at the last nation
al election. Owing to this fact the
President was requested TO stop for!
a few moments to extend greetings to
the people, and receive greetings from

asylum there. The little ones mad" a

A BABY EVERY FIVE MINUTES.

A New York dispatch announces
that there is a baby born in the city of
New York every five minutes and that
the birth rate has steadily increased
during the past three years. When
race suicide was being talked so much,
several years ago, the birth rate in the
metropolis was &c per 900. Now it is
81, with the probability that in 1906
it will be 80.
In all probability the words of the
president and other leading men of the
country have had a great deal to dc
with this important matter. With the
birth ate steadily above the deatt
rate, America is safe. 1t is upon The
native born Americans that We mus
depend for the UNFOLDING of Our repub
lican institutions. Many of our for
eign citizens are of the highest type
but the mass of immigration is unused
to free government and must learn
through contact with the people of this
country before they can be held to full
ly appreciate the duties and response
bilities of citizenship in a republic.

THE STATE OF WYOMING.

The Republican has received from
the governors Office a copy of the 1905
pamphlet, The Stat. Of Wyoming"
1t has the same distinctive cover used
in former years, being a beautifully
engraved production with the great
seal of the state IN the front and a
map of Wyoming on the back. The
composition, paper, prCsswork. etc,
are superb. The book is illustrated
with many excellent halftonc pictures
of Wyoming scenery, cities, ranch
scenes orchards, etc.
The editorial work in the pamphlet
was performed under the direct super,
vision of Governor Brooks and
much new matter of 1 very important
nature has been given to the public.
One strong feature that will please
the busy man is a brief of the contents,
in which the wealth, resources and
prospects of the state are condensed
into two pages. This Was aimed to
give those who have not the time to
Tead a book of $50 pages a quick and
comprehensive idea of what Wyoming
possesses. In the new matter contain.
ed in this pamphlet may be mentioned
a detailed account of the Pathfinder
project. the Shoshone project and the
reservation opening. Probably more
inquiries are being received at the
present time in relation to these mat
tiers than all others put together, and
the information is compiled in such a
name that every question is an
swered.
State lands and projects under the
Carey land act also receive consider
able attention. Intending settlers are
told just how they may proceed to OBJ
tain an irrigated farm upon lands con.
rolled ~ the state.
Ctnor new and important matter re-
lates to agriculture. horticulture, stock
raising, manufactures, etc.
Mines and mining, the counties and
their productions, the Frontier show,
the state fair at Douglas, banks and
er subjects are treated in n concise.
able manner.
OF all the western states, Wyoming
presents the best publication on re
sources. The 1905 pamphlet has set a
very high mark.

A Valuable Book.

BY order of congress, a book has just
beeJ published giving an illustrated
history of the Declaration of l~ndepend-
ence. with the biographies and por-
traits of the signers. From a histori-
cal standpoint it is considered very
valuable. The most valuable medicine
before tie public today for ailments of
the stoFnach, liver, bowels or kidneys
is Hosfetter's Stomach Bitters. Thou
sands ;of sufferers have been cured by
Iresorting to it promptly. It's so years
rCy)rd proves its worth beyond all
doubt. When you overload the stom-
ach, the bowels become clogged and
you feel half-sick all the time. In such
cases use the Bitters exclusively and
the trouble quickly disappears. 1t al
so cures poor appetite, indigestion, dys-
pepsia, costiveness, cramps, malaria,
and female troubles. We urge a trial
at once. For sale by all druggists.
