DR.. SHOOP'S RHEUMATIC REMEDY.
RAILROADS STAND
WITH PRESIDENT
SAMUEL SPENCER SAYS THE SYS.
TEN OF REBATES NOW PRAC-
TIcED is WRONG AND SHOULD
BE STOPPED.

New York Janua sl.-samuel spen-
Ger, president of the Southern railway,
who recently appeared before the House
committee in Washington at a hearing
relative to the regulation of freight rates,
made a statement today in which he
said there had been = misconception of
the Presidents purpose in his speech in
Philadelphia last night, and that there
was a confusion in the public mind be-
tween rate abuse and the making of
rates two opposed things lie added.
'If there are rebate abuses, and I'M
doubtedly there have been some, the
railroads of this country, l think l may
safely say. are a unit in agreeing with
the President that such abuses should be
controlled.
THE President is right and the vast
majority of the managers of the railroads
warmly second him after he realizes that
conscientious and true-spirited railroad
men should be protected from Illegal acts
of less scrupulous competitors, and from
INSCRIPTIONS big shippers; but the legis-
lation now proposed for granting rate
making power to the interstate commerce
commission not only does not afford such
protection, but it nee, =sarily visits upon
the innocent punishment intended for the
guilty.
Il am glad to see that the President
repeatedly cautions against what he calls
violent and ill-advised action and that
the efforts to make progress should be
tentative and cautious Wien one real
ICES that, according to the report of the
interstate commerce commission for 1903
there were then on file 2,196,5 $50 tariffs of
which 1914 were filed during the year;
and that more than one-third of the COM
missions clerical force was constantly
occupied in the mere detail of fling
indexing and furnishing information in
reference to the tariffs, some idea Of
the magnitude of this question may be
gathered.
las I said before the interstate COM
phatically in behalf of "A very large pro-
portion of the railroads of this country
"a very much larger proportion than
have any direct authority to speak for
but 1 can say 1t safey-that there is no
difference of opinion between the rail-
roads, the country, the congress. and the
President on the subject that rebates
are wrong, and that they must be stop
ped that secret and discriminatory de-
vices of all kinds direct or Indirect must
meet with the same fate; and. to use
the Presidents own expression, the high
ways of transportation must be kept open
TO all upon equal terms On that basis
the railroad companies are ready and
anxious to aid and cooperate"

WILLIAMS AGAIN
Is VICTORIOUS
ATTEMPT TO UNHoRsE HIM FROM
LEADERSHIP WAS MADE BY
THE HEARST CONTINGENT AND
FAILED ENTIRELY.

Washington. January 31.-(speeial)-
Another attempt was made today to UNI
horse John Sharp Williams from the mi
nority leadership, and 1t failed. This
time it came from the Hearst contingent.
Representative Shackelford of Missouri
was one of the two minority members of
the Interstate commerce committee who
refused to join in with the minority in
supporting the Davey bill He is for the
Hearst bill. Today shackelford made an
effort to have a democratic caucus called
for the purpose of reversing the action
taken at Mr.. Williams instance at the
caucus of last Monday. The democrats at
that time agreed TO support the
Davey bill Shackelford aimed to have
this caucus substitute the Hearst bill.
Ordinarily, such scheme would be
hoped to get the support of those
elements arrayed against Mr.. Williams OH
the Jefferson Davis issue raised by Mr..
Hay today and also those who agreed
with MIR. Cochran of Missouri in OPP
posing the refusal of the late caucus to
endorse Mr.. Roosevelt. Shackelford's
scheme was completely ruined He said
he got enough signatures, but admits that
they were later withdrawn.
The fact is that when the democrats
discovered that the proposed caucus was
intended as another blow at John Sharp
Williams they refused to have anything
to do with 1t.

IRVINE FORGlVES
BISHOP TALBOT
Says He Has Decided to Take No Fur
Their Action Against
Him.

Philadelphia, January 31.-Rev. DR.. I.
N. w. Irvine who was deposed by Bishop
Ethelbert Talbot of the diocese of Cen
tial Pennsylvania, and whose efforts re-
Gently to present the bishop failed, to-
day issued a signed statement announce
ing his intention to drop all proceedings
against Bishop Talbot, both ecclesiastical
and legal. lie states that he is actuated
by desire to prevent further scandal to
the Episcopal church.
DR.. Irvine reviews the controversy
with the bishop at length, and emit
merates a number of facts not hereto
fore given publicity. lie charges that
money and influence were used by Bishop
Talbot to block his efforts to bring the
case before an ecclesiastical court
In deciding to proceed no further he
says:
Il do not know what else can be done
with Bishop Talbot who has brought
such a scandal upon the church, and
such a scandal upon others. but to for
give him, and l herewith freely and
without reservation offer him full and
free pardon as If we were standing on
the last great day before the Judgment
throne of jesus Christ, our eternal
God"
DIR. Irvine declares he was not charged
with either crime" or immortality" in
the presentment which Bishop Taylor
signed against him, and he asserts that
neither word was uttered by Bishop Tai
bos't lawyers during the ecclesiastical
trial Of the deposed priest He says he
was charged with conduct unbecoming
minister of the church," which has
since ceased TO be an offense in the dis
cipinary canon. One of the specifica-
lions under this offense was that DR..
Irvine had circulated false reports re-
gardng Mrs. Emma ID. Elliott, but the
specification was nolle pressed and DR..
Irvine claims he was deposed because
he had offended Mrs. Elliott and had not
taken the blame of her accommodation
upon his own shoulders.
DIR. Irvine devotes considerable space
to the famous Upjohn letter which re-
suited In his attempt to present Bishop
Talbot.
Concerning the civil suit recently en-
tered against Bishop Talbot. Dr. Irvine
says:
"Bishop Talbot has twice eyaded tho
service of a summons in this city. II he
were not guilty he never would have run
away but would have courted an investi-
CATION to the finish. Dr. Irvines only
object has been to get vindicntlon.
"Never have there been any more sin
cere and heroic efforts made on the part
OF any man to show the church and the
world that he has been falsely. accused
and unjustly treated than by the writer
of this article" says DIR. Irvine. Never
have there been more deliberate lying
improper influence. intrigue. as well as
the vile use of money and power than
have been called upon to shield wrong
doing and to hide the light from the pub
lie"

Crystalized Poison!

Your blood is always full of poison-the
posion you eat and drink and breathe into
your system. 1t is the purpose of the
blood to absorb and carry off this very
poison. And the kidneys. which are the
blood filters, are expected to cleanse the
blood and send it back through the sys-
tenn clean, to gather more poison which,
they. in turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail And
sometimes, from some other cause, the
blood gets so full of poison that they can
not ahorb It all. This Is the start of Rheu-
matism. The poison accumulates and
orystalizes. The crystals look like little
grains of sugar or of fine white sand. The
blood carries them and they increase in
size. Then. when it can carry them no
longer, 1t deposits them in a joint--on a
bone-anywhere
The twinge In your leg-the dull ache in
your arm on a rainy day-these are the
outward signs az the unseen crystals And
the twisted limbs and unspeakable an
guish of the sufferer who has allowed
his symptoms to go unheeded and unat-
tended for years-these are the evidences
or what Rheuna tism, neglected, can do.
rheumatism includes lumbago, sciatica,
neuralgia, gout-for all these are the re-
suits of rheumatic poison in the blood.
Plainly the first thing to do is to re-
move the poison. But this is not enough
The formation of the poison must be
stopped, so that nature may have a
chance to dissolve and eliminate the crys-
tails which have already formed. Unless
this is done there can be no eure-no
permanent relief.

DR.. WILSON JONES
WAS ACQUITTED
FAMOUS TRIAL IN NESHOBA
COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, is ENDED.
FIVE PERSONS BITTEN BY A
MAD DOG IN MERIDIAN.

Meridian, Miss, January 31.-(Speeial)-
News reached here today from Phila-
delphia, Neshoba county, that the trial
of DR.. Wilson Jones, charged with the
murder Of Frank Burnett and Roy Eshe,
resulted yesterday in an acquittal in the
circuit court of that county. The killing
was one of the bloodest tragedies in the
<histoly of the county and caused a great
many hard feelings on account of the
prominence of the participants. The
trouble originated in u horse trade be-
tween DR.. Jones and LESSEE Burnett
brother of Frank Burnett, which was I'M
satisfactory to the Burnett's and this
matter was further aggravated by some
remarks made by the Burnett boys and
Roy Eshe at Rays store, not far from
Philadelphia, on March 10, 1904 An alter
cation ensued and soon pistols We're
drawn and the firing began. Roy Eshe
attacked DR.. Jones with a knife during
the fight and cut him severely. Jones
shot Eshe dead and inflicted mortal
wounds upon Frank Burnett, from which
he died next day. Jesse Burnett was also
wounded but recovered. DIR. Jones was
seriously injured by the knife wounds
and was laid up several weeks before be-
ing able to attend the preliminary trial.
Five more persons left Meridian last
night for treatment at the Pasteur insti-
tute ON account of fear of hydrophobia
from bites inflicted by a dog last week.
The dog was promptly killed and its head
sent to New Orleans, where, after exam
nation the surgeons of the institute pro-
nounced it a clear case of rabies. Those
who went to New Orleans are Walter
Horne, his little son and daughter, and
Ed Stanley and James Lucas, all of whom
We're bitten except Mr.. Horne.

REFORMS ARE TO
BE FORTHCOMING
COMMITTEE OF MINISTER'S 49,
SUES A STATEMENT SAYING
PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED BY
GAR NICHOLAS.

st. Petersburg. January 91.-The fol-
lowing statement was issued this eve
ming:
The conference of the committee of
ministers ON the reforms proposed in
the imperial decree of December 20, was
concluded on January 8, and the order
on the proposed reforms shall be carried
out as announced on January 10. The
committee deemed it necessary to con-
slider each measure separately, and 1t
was subsequently proposed that indi-
vidual ministers should draw up plans
for the execution of reforms affecting
their respective departments or that
special conferences to be attended by
delegates of institutions interested, and
by local representatives., should be held
under the presidency of the Emperor.
The committee further deemed 1t neces-
sary to request the Emperor to submit
certain questions which may be decided
through legislative channels, the COM
mlttee resolving to hold provisional
discussion which would serve to bring
harmony out of the different views pre-
vailing with regard to the chief points
of the various questions.
The council Of state however, will re-
tain fun power to veto the final decis-
ions
Having agreed upon these methods of
discussion the committee concluded that
it would be advisable to ascertain the
views Of the chiefs of the different gov
eminent departments. and other non
ministerialists. 1t was also resolved that
an imperial ukase should be drawn up
in the briefest terms possible and that
steps assuring realization of the reform
scheme should be taken.
The committee is of the opinion that
success would be rendered surer by the
publication of its decisions which would
be confirmed by the Emperor
The directions already taken were
sanctioned by his majesty on January 90"
