IN COLONEL'S TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home Of the famous "Keyh-

ter about Postum.
II was in very delicate health, suf-
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that l could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of the old kind of cof-
fee, which was like poison to me. pro-
ducing such extreme disturbance that
could not control myself. But such
was my love for it that / could not get
my own consent to give 1t up for some
time. and continued to suffer till my
father one day brought home a pack
age Of Postum Food Coffee.
II had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions. and
gave 1t fair trial. 1t proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy.
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition Of cream greatly
improves it.
MY health began to improve as soon
as the drug effect of the old coffee was
removed and the Postum Coffee had
time to make its influence felt My
nervous troubles were speedily relieved
and the sleep which the old coffee
drove from my pillow always came to
soothe and strengthen me after had
drunk Postum-in very short time
began to sleep better than had for

Street Car Conductor Was AItogethe

Street Car Conductor Was Altogether
Too Busy to Preach.
An open car in the Sixth avenue
shopping district was well filed with
passengers. One row of seats was &C.
cupied by three women and a clergy
man, who manfully maintained the
outside seat. A small boy with
large bundle pushed his way past them
with much Inconvenience to the sit
!ers and established himself at the in
side end. When the conductor came
around the boy pushed out transfer.
The conductor looked at it and asked:
when did you get this?"
Just minute ago." was the prompt
reply.
The conductor scowled. 'sThatll do
for you." he said.
In a minute or so the man at the
end asked: What was the matter
with that transfer?" ~s,.

laconic reply.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Bradstreet's says:
Though rejecting some irregularity,
due to midyear influences, or, in some
sections, to less cheerful crop reports, the
volume of distributive trade IS full
one for the season and industry and
manufacture show less than ordinarily
the effects of the approach of the vaca-
ton period. Optimism as to the fall
trade outlook is the main subject Of
notice, but it is to be noted that good
recorders for summer fabrics are still ac-
tive at some leading markets.
Relatively the best reports come from
the Central West and Southwest; the
South seems quite generally to hold. the
improvement reported last week, conf
dence has increased in the Pacific Coast
reports, and the only important subject
of complaint is that the weather has been
too wet or too cool in portions of the
corn and wheat belts to allow of the best
crop development and harvesting.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week ended June 20 are 756,64I BUSH
els, against o75,832 bushels last week,
I,I27,885 bushels this week last year, r.
o66,682 bushels in 1908 and 3,2II,2I5

Profita I'D the paekara.

There has been great zeal or dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pack
ing industry only amount to about two
per cent. or the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on a
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of 81 -four and grist
mills in Illinois, in the census year,
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume of business. The gross margin OF
fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in Illinois
was only about one-third as large. or a
little more than two per cent. on the
volume of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in a trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade. but it APP
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. It may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All
squeal and no wool"

Objections of the Railroads
Haven't Been Heard Yet.
MAKES A JOKE OF 1T.
Senator Carmack ArOuses Mirth
of the Senate.
While the House Railroad Bill
Is Laid to Rest.

Washington, Feb. 21.-When the
senate convened today Mr. Carmack,
a member of the committee on inter-
state commerce, presented a petition
for railroad rate legislation. Mr..
Berry Immediately asked as to the
prospect for railroad rate legislation
Mr.. Carmack gave place to Mr.. Ell1ins,
chairman of the committee, to make
reply. Mr.. Ellzins said:
1.-THE bill passed by the house
reached the senate about ten days ago.
During that time the sanate has had
almost continuous sessions, but only
one friend of the railroads has been
heard. The committee has given the
best attention possible to the bill, but
there has been no time to consider
tie amendments and there are several
believed to be important No decision
as to an effort to pass the bill this
session has been reached, but with
the limited time at their disposal it
would Seem that there is very little
prospect of that result before adjourn
ment with only ten days of the session
left and with much other imperative
business to be performed. 1t would
hardly seem probable that the most
imF.urtant economic question of the
day could be disposed OF in so short a
time and especially in view of the
fact that only one side of the question
has so far been presented to the COM
mittee.''
Mr. Carmack. a member of the
committee on the interstate comm cree,
excused himself from speaking before
the committee on the ground that
such joyous harmony exists there as to
0bliterate party lines. He said he
could assure the senate that all of the
committee are actuated by a keen de-
sire to fulfill at the earliest possible
moment the promises made by the
president of the United States and
through the medium of the Demo-
cratic platform and to add that it is
the intention of the whole committee
to be guided in this matter by the
president.
Indeed . he added, -'I may go far
ther and say. knowing the chairman
of the committee will correct me II I
am wrong. that I anAauth oriZed to In
form the senate that all the members
recognize in the president the foremost
and the ablest lieutenant of
William J. Bryan.
The statement caused a general
burst of laughter and the incident
closed.

Schuyler, one of the owners of the Vir-

miners were imprisoned yesterday af-
ternoon by an explosion was advised
this morning that the rescuers were
close to the entombed men and that one
body had been found and removed
Schuyler thinks there is a good chance
for a number of the miners to be found
alive, as he says the air shaft into the
mine is working. The rescue parties
worked all night and were augmented
by miners from various mines in the
district
BY an explosion in the Virginia mine,
about Is miles southwest of Birming-
ham. more than a hundred union
miners are entombed.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
dust, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free from
dust.
The company is almost isolated from
the rest of the world as there is no tel
ephone station at Virginia and the only
wire running to the place is a dispatch
er's wire of the Birmingham Mineral
railway, on which Virginia is located.
