osTEoPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.

Said one of Chicago's most emf
nent physicians last winter: mot a
medicine is known that will do one
particle of good In pneumonia, and
the sooner we resume the search for
one, the better for ourselves and the
people," But he must add: failure
must always meet the research for
medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical textbooks say the
state In pneumonia is a filling of the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken
ed and dilated blood vessels. The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels arr weakened by
loss of nerve force which is cut off
by pressure on the vaso-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal Of this pressure. Thus
1t is seen why medicine must fail.
The osteopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced vertebrae
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrat-
ed the past week in our city on a
case which the medical doctor gave
UP and the Ostee path cured. For
particulars. call on Drs. Hoisington,

oHuRoHMAN AND cowMAN

Two classes of citizens of Colorado
have developed into ready letter writ
ers-the church people and the cat
tlemen.
The church people are swamping
the members of the legislature with
letters urging the passage of the
Dodge local option bill and the cat
tlemen are inundating the senate
with letters protesting against Alex
ander's senate bill giving members of
the state inspection board $25 a
month and expenses, collected in fees.
While the Christian and the cow
man can get together on letter writ
ing this is about as far as it will go,
for one opposes 0 bill and the other
advocates a bill. Strange as it may
seem. as far as known not cowman
has written a letter indorsing the
Dodge bill and not a churchman has
written a letter urging murder of the
cattle inspection bill.
The church people have started
their crusade all over the state. and

Chamberlain be called upon to APP

Members of the legislature are al
most unanimous in saying that if the
charter changes county seat and
county division bills were eliminated
from the legislature. that the session
could be shortened by half, and yet
no movement toward changing the
methods of dealing with these super
fluous questions was made by this
session. Even if the length of the
session could not he shortened, the
time of the legislature could be taken
up in more needed legislation. and

The legislature wisely decided to
leave the local option law where the
people left it, 1t is better to have an
injustice on the side of right than on
the side of wrong. There are bad
features in the local option law

people who passed the law are well
qualified to remedy it, after a trial.

FEAR THE PEOPLE

The most startling admission yet
made by the republican press. or a
representative of the corporations,
comes from the Washington cores
pondent of the Portland Oregonian. in
discussing the railroad rate regula-
ton now before congress.
1t exhibits keenly, the undercurrent
of feeling I'm the national capital that
the monopolies have about reached
the limit of extortion. and that unless
some radical change for the better is
made very quickly. the people will
actually take over the railroads as
government property.
Between the lines of the confession
ii is plainly read that while the rail-
roads and the monopolists in other
lines hate the president for his radi-
cal principles, yet they fear him and
rather than risk further discomfort
among the people, they will submit
willingly to his proposed regulation
of railroad rates. The correspondent
says:
Probably the most interesting feat
ure of all the railroad discussion and
proposed legislation that has occurred
in Washington is the undercurrent of
feeling. a growing feeling in favor of
government ownership of railroads
and other public utilities.
The impression prevails that it is
but a short step from the fixing of
rates by the government through the
commission to the absorption of the
railroad properties by the govern
ment That this sentiment is growing
in congress cannot be doubted, as
many men seem to have reached the
conclusion that the only way in which
the government can really control the
great railways of the country is by
taking over the property themselves.
This sentiment has developed more
in private discussions than in any
public utterances of men who debate
the bill. A few radical men have de-
clared for government ownership, but
they have received no encouragement,
because that is a question that is
really soaring more men in congress
than anything else at the present time.
Railroad corporations do not fear
it any more than they fear that the
rate legislation will pass. In fact. it
has been the belief of most of the
of great corporations
and organized wealth that congress
will not do anything to disturb them.
but with the president insisting that
there shall be some just and equitable
and with the people be-
hind him, the situation has changed
very materially, an1 now some of the
of these great cor
porations wonder where the legisla-
lion will end. and some of the ablest
men in the corporations have advised
he acceptance of just and equitable
measures for the control of rates,
.ather than to thwart the will
If the people as represented by the
PRESIDENT, and thereby possibly force
l,rre drastic legislation at some time
n the future.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. S.--Among the in-
portant witnesses who appeared before the

Cusey. general traffic manager for the
Schwarzschild & Sulsberger Packing COM
pany; Simon c. Bates, formerly a clerk for
the Armour Packing company and George
A. Gamble. Kansas City agent for the Le-
high Valley Railroad company.
Interest in the proceedings was increased
by the arrival today of Frank Platt OF New
York, counsel for the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, and son of Thomas c. Plat, United
States senator from New York.

Mr.. Platt's arrival on the day that the
agent of the Lehigh Valley testified before
the grand jury was considered 10 be signif.
cant. but no one connected with the district
attorneys Office would say what the coin
cidence might mean. II was also thought
interesting that Simon c. Bates, now enl
ployed by the Wabash railway, but for

FAIL TO FIND WITNESSES
Kansas Land Fraud InvestigRt tiOn
HaIts Because of Absence of six
Men Wanted by Grand Jury.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. S-The investiga-
tion of one of the most important of the
Kansas land fraud cases before the spe-
cial federal grand jury now sitting in this
city was brought TO a sudden halt today
by the failure OF United States deputy
marshals to locate the six principal wit
nesses in the case, for whom subpoenas
had been issued. II is feared by the fed
eral officers that the witnesses learned
they were to be subpoenaed and left the
state. The oficials have not given out
the identity of the missing witnesses or
tho case under investigation for which the
witnesses were subDoenaed.
The government has been compelled TO
dismiss the indictment returned by the fed
eral grand jury here against Louis Cans
OF the II. s. Boyce Cattle company, as it
kas been decided that Cans. who lived IN
the east, has been dead some time. The
United States district attorney, ]. s. Dean,
said tonight that the grand jury would
report several more indictments tomorrow
for fraudulent land grabbing.
'One man." said Mr.. Dean, lis TO get a
bitter dose. He is TO be indicted for IL
legal inclosure of public lands. suborna-
tion of perjury and conspiracy to promote
homestead entries. This fellow was not
! easily satisfied. We have proof that he
put in claims on seventeen quarter sec
tions OF land, upon which he builded that
