Duluth Now Before Committee of the
 Senate.

Washington, Jan. s1.-E. NJ Fergu- son of Duluth, Minn., continued his statement to the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today relative to alleged discriminations by railroads in favor of operators of refrigerator car lines. He advocated the fixing by law of all charges in relation to refrigera- tfon and the publication of these rates the same as freight schedules are pub lished
 In answer to the charge that it was the jobbers and not fruit growers that were making the fight against private car lines, he read letters from fruit growers asking him to suggest plans for getting after Congressman and Senators" and urging that if Congress adjourned without action to petition the President to call an extra session. {" He favored the plan of making it un- lawful for railroads to carry goods in any but their own cars. or in the cars of some other railroad.
 MT. Ferguson will conclude his state ment tomorrow. He announced that he would disclose the details of a second routing scheme, which he alleg- ed Is maintained by the railroads.

"M 0sT FAVORED NATIoN.-
Clause May Cause Commercial War
 With Germany.


 Berlin, Jan. 31-The Bundesrath ac- cepted all the commercial treaties to- day. This is merely formal act pre- paratory to submitting them to the Reichstag tomorrow. They have been considered for some days in the Bunde- srath in relation not only to the treaty nations but with reference also to Germans trade with other countries. The prevailing view is that :'the most favored nation" practice in application with other countries should continue as heretofore.
 Prussias treaty with France is per petual, in the sense that there is no time limit in which it would have to be abFogated. Were Germany to decide to exclude the United States and other States from the most favored nation provision in the thirty-nin treaties which Prussia or the German empire has with other States. including the United States. Prussia would be in the highest degree unwilling to abrogate the treaty with France.
 In discussing trade relations with the United States the controlling opinion in the Bundesrath was that although there was a measure of injustice in the United States, claiming as she certainly would, all the privileges Germany obtained by commercial treaty with other States through tariff concessions, yet Germany could i'll afford to engage in a tariff war with the United States. because she must have American raw

Your love would not satisfy me now. would die of loneliness in that little town. l would go mad If had to listen to you while you preached two sermons every Sunday. to listen to all the petty pickering and fault finding. to set myself basS into the old narrow groove. Your IIe is narrow and hard and skimped. I love beautiful things light and music and color in life and Jewels and fine clothes. I cannot live out of the sunshine and away from the crowd. And above all l have out grown you. I do noa love you any more. The little girl who loved you in the old days is dead and you helped to kill her.

FRANCE AND HAITI.
Falling Out Over the Punishment of
 Two Men.


 Washington, Jan. 31.-The French Government, insisting on immunity from arrest of two refugees in Hayti, and the Haytien Government demand ing that they be turned over to 1t for punishment. is the situation at Port au Prince at last account.
 Powell, the American Minister there, report@to the State Department under date o@g anuary 19 that two of the per- sons convicted by the criminal court as being connected with the consolides matter (the Haytien bank affair.". Leber Canvin and A. Marlbranche, both former Senators of Hayti, have been for more than a year refugees in the French legation at Port au Prince.
 The French Government repeatedly has requested. through its local repre- sentatives, that the Haytien Govern ment allow these men either to go from the country or to return to their homes This request the Haytien Government has refused. Inasmuch as the courts have convicted and sentenced the men, the Haytien Government has requested that the refugees be delivered to 1t, the French Minister, M. Descos, has re- fused the request unless the govern ment guarantees the refugees immunity from arrest and permits them to leave the country.

WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
PIaIn Reasons Are Here Given to Explain Why Lydia E. PiRkham's Vegetable Com
 pound Cures When Doctors Are POwerlesS

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her sys- tenn. She goes to her family physician and tells him story, but. not the whole story.
 She holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally cOnceals what she ought to have told, and thus completely mystifies the doctor.
 Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctors fail to cure the disease Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician.
 It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de- termined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sis. ters to pour into her ears every detail of their suffering.
 In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians were unable to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago 8 great army of her fellOw-beings are to-day constantly applying for advice and re- lief, and the fact that many thou sands of them have been cured by following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and training.
 No physician in the world has had such training. or has such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated womb diseases,
 This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs Pinkham, in her laboratory al Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the family physician. Any woman, there. fore, is responsible for her own suffer ing who will not take the trc1ble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
 The testimonials which we are con- stantly publishing from grateful wo- men establish beyond Q doubt the power of Lydia E, Pinlxham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases

Pay your poll tax!

ray your poll tax!
 The scene of war in the campaign for the mayoralty of Montgomery shifted yesterday from Dexter Avenue Tax Collector G. w. Halls at the County Court House.
 Aldermen Teague and Forbes and their respective managers and adher- ents were busy throughout yesterday urging supporters to pay their poll tax.
 At midnight tonight the poll tax lists close and the part of those who are not over age or who are not on the rolls of militia company, who have not paid their tax will be indeed small.
 Recognizing this nearly 300 electors yesterday visited the office of CoIlec- tor Hailes. In some instances, em- ployers or representatives of firms. employing a number of voters, paid the assessment against each of their employees.
 The cartoon published by The Ad- vertiser yesterday morning stated that yesterday was the last day the lists were open. This statement was made under misinterpretation of the law
 The lists will be held open until midnight tonight and Tax Collector Hailes urges all to pay.
 Candidates kept a careful watch on all who paid their assessments and In many instances old poll tax lists were checked by adherents.

Alderman Holloway was nominated at a ward primary held soon after Ward was created and was elected by the members of the City Council to fill one of the seats in that body.
