WANTS A DRY" STATE.
Repres sentative Murphy Presents Idea
Of Statehood.

Washington, Dec. lS.-HepreSenta-'
tive Murphy, of Missouri, addressed
the house committee on territories
and made some Sensational remarks
concerning the influences which he
declared attempted to defeat the pro-
hibition amendment to the Hamilton
statehood bill. Mr.. Murphy display
ed a telegram which he and other
Missouri members received from st.
Louis. reading as follows:
"All the brewing firms of Missouri
instructed me to kindly request you
to vote against and use your influence
to induce your colleagues to do like
wise, on the amendment proposed by
Mr.. Galinger to foist prohibition on
the Oklahoma statehood bill, which Is
to be voted upon at the caucus OF the
Republicans, supposed to be held this
day. Missouri Brewers Association,
by Philip Stock, secretary"
Mr.. Murphy explained that he ap-
peared before the committee to pre-
sent the Sequoyah idea, having been
selected by the convention at Musko-
gee to present the Sequoyah bill,
which he had done. Continuing, he
said:
THE committee has decided against
me on the Sequoyah idea, and it is
now my purpose to incorporate in the
enabling act as much of the constitu'
ton adopted at the Muskogee conven'
ton as possible. One of the ques'
lions under discussion is that OF pro-
hibition for the new state of Oklaho
ma, which they adopted in the con
stitution by vote of $4,000 to 5000
it is the most stringent law ever pass
ed by any state or government. The
only element opposing prohibition in
the proposed state is the railroad at
torneys, whose employers carry beef
and booze into Oklahoma by the car
load, and the Missouri Brewers Asso
citation, through Philip Stock, its
secretary.
''Who is Philip Stock? A man who
has confessedly been engaged in cor
rupting the legislative body of the
city of st. Louis, and who is now ou
of the penitentiary by the grace OF
former circuit attorney, now govern
or, as a compensation for turning
states evidence, while his victims are
now languishing in the penitentiary a
Jefferson City"
Mr.. Murphy read the telegram HI
received from Stock, and continued;
'In justice to this committee, l will
say that did not present this to thu
Republican conference held on thu
statehood bill, and nothing was sait
there about prohibition. nor would
have done so on the request of Stock
| insist on the government paying it:
obligations to the Indians at par. III
all treaties made between the govern
ment and the Indians the government
has promised to maintain strict law:
against the manufacture, barter, SALE
and introduction of liquor into tina

He then read a decision of the Uni
ted States supreme court to the effec
that treaties with the Indians should
be construed as understood by the In
dians The Indians, he said, always
understood that the government
would give them prohibition when the
territory was made into a state

To Reimburse Sailors.

The British government will reim-
burse the naval officers for the money
they spent in entertaining the French
fleet at Portsmouth. A naval officer
said recently to the London Express:
Il understand there is likely to be a
bit of an outcry when the Second
cruiser squadron gets back to Eng
land about the heavy outlay to which
the officers have been subjected dur
ing the American visit. All the men
in the different messes have to stand
their share, whether they can afford
it or whether they can't.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stomach
Trouble.
Q. What is the beginning of sicknesss
A. Constipation.

0. What is the beginning of sicknesss
A. Constipation.
O. What is Constipation
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel
trouble at the present time.
O. What causes Constipation
A. Neglect to respond to the call Of ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Excess
sive brain work. Mental emotion and i'm
proper diet.
O. What are the results of neglected
, Constipation
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is
the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss OF
sleep and strength are its symptoms-piles,
appendicitis and fistula, are caused. by
Constipation. Its consequences are known
to all physicians, but few sufferers realize
their condition until it is too late. Women
become confirmed invalids as a result of
Constipation.
Q. Do physicians recognize this2
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
doho you 10 aiO you SonooAP"'~' 1900
is the secret.
@. Can it be cured2
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in-
jections, ETC., every one of which is in
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex-
perience
Q. What then should be done to cure itl
! A. Get a bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic at
once. Mulrs Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipation and Stomach Trouble in
the shortest space of time. No other
remedy has before been known to cure
Constipation positively and permanently.
o. What is Mulls Grape Tonicl
A. 1t is Compound with 40 per cent. of
the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t exerts a
peculiar strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, so that they can do
their work unaided. The process is gradual,
but sure. 1t is not physic, but it cures
Constipation, Dysentery, Stomach. and
Bowel Trouble. Having n rich, fruity
grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. AS n
tonic It is unequalled, insuring the system
against disease. 1t strengthens and builds
up waste tissue.
%. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be
had2
A. Your druggist sells 1t. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the So
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never used
st because we know it will cure you.

Railroads And Packers Are Indicted
For Crime.
CHARGED WITH DISCRIMINATION
New York Freight Broker in the Net
Armour Tells of Matter-He says
Il Has Been the Usual Custom for
Quite a Long Time.

hdHSdS SlIy, OCS. lo' ONA 80
dictments were returned by the fed
eral grand jury against common car
riers, railway officials, shippers and
freight agents, charging the giving OF
rebates and conspiracy to gain re-
bates.
The indictments returned were as
follows:
George H. Crosby, of Chicago, gem
eral traffic manager of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad.
George l.. Thomas. broker of 800
Broadway, New York.
L. B. Taggert, New York, Crosby's
chief clerk.
The Chicago & Alton Railroad COM
pany and John N. Faithorn and F. A..
Wann, formerly vice-president and
general freight agent respectively of
the railroad company.
The Cudahy Packing Company.
Swift & Co.
The Armour Packing Company.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad Company.
Nelson Morris, Edward Morris and
Ira N. Morris, comprising the partner
ship of Nelson Morris & Co.
D. H. Kresky, Kansas City, freight
broker.
The charges against the Chicago 4
Alton and Messrs. Faithorn and Wann
made in the
indictments returned by the federal
grand jury at Chicago on December
18th.
The indictments against the pack
ing companies charge that they enter
ed into a contract with the Burling-
ton railway to accept concessions on
shipments of their products from East
ST. Louis to New York for export. The
grand jury charges that the agree
ment thus entered into provided fol-
a rate Of 23 cents hundred pounds
on these products. This was in July
1905. The agreement was to continue
in force until January 1, 1906. The
local rates applied to these ship
ments between Kansas City and St
Louis.
In August, 1905, the joint rate on
packing house products was raised by
the joint traffic association to 35c be-
tween East st. Louis and New York
The Burlington, nevertheless, it is de-
clared, lived up to its 29c agreement
with the packers in Kansas City, and
under which agreement it practically
carried all the packing house products
from this city except those OF the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing
Company.
Two indictments were returned
against George L. Thomas, of New
York, who is alleged to have had a
contract with the Burlington by the
terms of which he was to receive a
certain percentage of the freight rates
paid on all shipments more than speci'
fled tonnage from New York to Kan
sas City and vice versa.
The investigation made by the
grand jury revealed the fact that
Thomas had agencies at Kansas City
Omaha, Chicago, st. Louis, Atchison
Milwaukee and other cities.
The specific charges against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road is that of granting rebate OF
seven cents a hundred pounds to the
Howard Mills Company of Wichita
Kan, on a shipment of flour from
Kansas City to New York.

Connection With the Annual

those heretofore held is meeting with
general Endorsement and approval. The
leading merchants of Astoria are evinc-
