Express Company n Liquor Dealer

Express Company n Liquor Dealer.
st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 21.-Judge Phil
ips, in the United States circuit court
of appeals, in affirming the decision
of the federal court for North Dakota
in the case of the government against
the Western Express company, decided
that the express company in furnishing
beer to customers was acting not as a
common carrier, but as wholesale and
retail dealer in liquors. The lower
court assessed the express company
$500 for violation Of the national ex-
else law in selling beer at &c stations
on the 500 road in North Dakota,
which is a prohibition state.

PACKERS SEEK LOOPH0LE

Federal Indictments.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Declaring that the
testimony the packers were compelled
TO produce before the secretary OF com.
lnerce and labor was used by United
States District Attorney Morrison IN
obtaining an indictment against the
packers, and alleging that inasmuch as
the same issues as mentioned In the
indictment were raised and disposed
of in an injunction writ issued by Fed
eral Judge Grosscup, the packers who
are under federal indictment here
charged with illegal conspiracy Mon
day attacked the famous so-called
"Beef Trust" process.
Samuel McRobert, agent of Armour
& Co., filed a separate special plea In
which he seeks immunity because he
testified before the grand jury which
afterwerd returned an indictment
against him. Under federal statute
It is alleged no person shall be pros
ecuted in the case in which he testified,
II he is compelled to testify against
himself. This plea is held to be good
by many and although it will be vigor-
ously attacked by the government 1t
Is declared there is a likelihood OF the
luashing of the indictment in the case
of McRoberts. The other pleas are
not held to be of great importance by
the government. District Attorney
Morgan has not yet decided what ac-
ton to take In regard to them.

Comes Three Thousand Miles to An.
swer Charges Against Him-Will
Tell All About His Connection
With the Eouitahle
With the Equitable.

New York. July 30.-United States
Senator Chauncey NJ Depew arrived
last night from Southampton. He
freely admitted. that his pleasure trip
had been cut short.
Il have come back to the storm cen
ter" he said "A man cannot fight his
battles 5000 miles from home, and as
charges rejecting upon me have been
made | have come back to state my
side of the case.
Tonight | have nothing to say
about the Equitable, or the loan made
to the Depew Improvement Company,
or as to my resignation. AS soon as
can go over the papers in these vari-
GUS matters and get the official news
as to what has actually transpired in
my absence, l will give out a state
ment that will cover all these matters
fully. AT the proper time shall give
to the public all the information !
have, so that they may know as much
as l did about the Equitable and tran
sactions in which l was Interested"
Regarding the Depew Investment
Company. Senator Depew said:
Il am only minor stockholder. This
company was started five years before
l was connected with it. They used
my name at first without getting my
consent. Later / came into the com
pany with small holdings"
When told Of the election of Paul
Morton to the presidency of the EGuit-
able. the senator said the choice was
admirable and that it pleased him
highly. Regarding the Equitable and
its future, he said:
In years time the Equitable will
be stronger than ever and be doing
even larger business than before.
The Equitable is all right financially,
and after this disturbance blows over
it will be the same as before. the
strongest and best insurance company
in this country"
Senator Depew frankly discussed
"Fads and Fancies." He said that
he was a subscriber and had been so
for about four years.
Il subscribed for the book" he said.

of the most beautiful works l haze

ton somewhere around $l500.'
He denied that he had been threat
ened with the publication of any scan
dalous or undesirable stories about
him if he did not subscribe.
When asked if the work had been
represented as something to help the
boys along" he replied: 1T might
have been. Really, l cannot remem-
ber that far back; you know they

The new petroleum fuel reported
from Switzerland is in the form of
briquettes containing four parts of
petroleum to one part of secret ma
terial. At Is cents per gallon for oil,
the cost of each hriquette was about
PA cents, but on a large scale would
be much less. Four briquettes under
a boiler having a heating surface of
AGO square feet isnited the coal in

WELDING COPPER.
It is Matter of Personal Skill and
Cannot Be Taught.

A Los Angeles mechanic has redis-
covered the lost art, said to have been
possessed by the ancients, of welding
copper. But from his own description
it would seem that the recovery is
not permanent, and that the secret
will die with him, as his efforts to i'm
part it to others are not attended with
success. When asked to explain the
manner in which he made the discov-
cry, says the Los Angeles Herald, he
said:
Il began five years ago to weld cop
per just as l weld iron. Copper weld
ing is an art, not science, and ev-
erything lies in the eye, in the ability
to take the metal from the fire at just
the proper moment.
81 have been experimenting in weld
ing processes for over twenty-five
years, and since | discovered the weld
ing color, l have tried to teach it to my
men, but without success.
"They are unable to distinguish color
variations under fire, which is the one
essential, and which is perfectly sim
pile and easy for me. In this lies the
great trouble in teaching the process.
and this trouble is increased by the
fact that copper is dead metal and
contains no carbon
1t is very likely that the art among
the ancients was not general, and that
specimens which have been found in
the ruins of ancient cities were the
product of individual craftsmen, who
discovered and used it, and it died with
them, for the very reason set forth by
Mr.. Thos. A. MCNEIL, the Los Angeles
man using it, in his statement to the
Herald.-Nogales (Ariz.) Oasis.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia +. Pinkhams Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinlsham's Office and prove this
statement to be a fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
mcnt for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good :?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for a quarter of
century,
Simply and surely because Of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached it's success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant-not because it is
a palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and

Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink

experience that it will effect a cure.

dress on Municipal Ownership at
the annual outing of the Tramway

that it is almost Invariably the rule
that where utilities are furnished by
private companies they cost from nifty
to one hundred per cent. more than
where the same utilities are furnished
by the public companies"

himself against statements which had
been published that he had recanted
his faith in municipal ownership, say
ing:

How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wrctched for
Many 4cnrs.

Tho immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from pooI
or poisoned blood. In annmia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood nbsorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, aud the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. IN rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood i'll the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
