REACHING THE LIrllT.

It was thought to be bad enough when the beef trust was arraigned before the court of public opinion for controlling the prices the pro ducer received for his cattle and hogs, and the price the consumer paid for his meats, and the first in- vestigations and denunciations were solely along these lines.
 It appears, however, tbat the limit was only reached in more recent in- vestigations showing that this mon ster trust has been coining money by foisting upon the unsuspecting, and in some cases helpless public, dis eased and poisonous or poisoned meats, thereby adding the crime of murder, murder of the innocent, to it's already long calendar of crimes.
 The disclosures made, and being made, regarding the methods en- ployed by this monster trust are enough to cause every American to hide his head in shame when he realizes the enormity of the crimes committed against humanity by the vultures masquerading as human beings who are responsible, and who now glory over and count their i'll gathered grains by the hundred millions.
 Talk about tainted" money and blood" money, if any money was ever tainted with corruption and gained by taking the life blood of innocent, hard working people, of brave soldier boys defending the honor of their country, this money, secured by the methods being dis closed. is thickly tainted with cor ruption and poison, and covered with blood.

All observing people must hav' noticed growing sentiment m thl
 country in favor of using only put-ul foods and medicines of known com
 position. It is but natural that ons should have some interest in the com
 posjtion of that which he is expected fo swallow. whether it be food, drink or medicine. This sentiment has re suited in the introduction in the legis' latures of many of the States, as also in the Congress of the United States bills providing for the publication oi formula or ingredients on wrappers and labels of medicines and foods put up for general consumption.
 Recognizing this growing disposition on the part of the public generally, and satisfied that the fullest publicity can only add to the well-earned repu- tation of his proprietary medicines, Dr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. r., has vtaken time by the forelock," as It were, and is publishing broadcast, and on each bottle wrapper, full and com plete list of all the ingredients entering into his medicines, "Golden Medical Discovery" the popular liver invigor- ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart regulator; also of his vFavorite Prescription for weak, over-worked, broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in- valid women.
 This bold and out-spoken movement on the part of Dr. Pierce, has, by showing exactly what his well-known medicines are composed of, completely disarmed all harping critics who have heretofore unjustly attacked them. A little pamphlet has been compiled, from the standard medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, showing the strongest endorsements by leading medical writers of the several ingredients which enter into Doctor Pierce's medicines and recommending these ingredients for the cure of the diseases for which Dr. Pierce's medi- cines are advised. A copy of this little booklet is mailed free to any one desiring to learn more concerning the valuable, native, medicinal plants which enter into the composition of Dr. Pierce's medicines. A request, by postal card or letter, addressed to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. r., will bring this little booklet by return post. It tells exactly what ingredients are used in the mak- ing of Dr. Pierce's famous medicines.
 Luin bbiihiuB NcpoieuhC VI Da' iCiSC from the usual course pursued by the manufacturers of proprietary medi- cines, at once takes his medicines out of the class generally known as cpatent" or secret medicines, neither of which term is at all applicable to them, as their formula now appears on the wrapper of every bottle leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y. It places them in class all by them selves. Neither of them contains any alcohol, which fact alone should cause them to be classed all by themselves and as entirely harmless vegetable ex- tracts, made and preserved by the use of glycerine and not with the usually employed strong alcohol, which works so much injury, especially in cases where treatment, even though of the best, must be continued for consider able periods of time, in order to make the cure permanent.
 Many years ago, Dr. Pierce found that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, was far better than

there reposes a large wooden nursing
bottle, between seven and eight feetSh

A class scrap, as the result of the au-
dacious work Of the seniors, was looked
for Tuesday night, but there was moth
ing doing.
Anticipating that the seniors would
make an effort to put up their colors
the juniors, a few nights ago, annoint-
ed the fire escape from top to bottom
with axle grease. This did not deter
the sturdy seniors, however, who wiped
off the grease and mounted the escape,
placing their colors and the baby
bottle on the topmost points. The
juniors are handicapped somewhat by
the fact that in their number there are
but a few boys, as against thirteen, an
exceptionally large number, in the sem
Tor class.

LOAD COAL IN HURRY.
centraps Big Steam Shovel is Picking
Up 500 Tons Day.

Those who have never seen a rail-
road steam shovel in operation can
witness an interesting sight by going
to the Central yards near the Stand
ard Oil Company's plant, where the
big machine is loading the coal stored
on the ground there by the company.
The shovel, which has been in opera
ton since Monday, is averaging 500
tons a day, at a cost for the loading
of cents a ton. The big machine,
which bites out of the huge pile of coal
a cubic yard at a bite. and lifts and
dumps it into coal cars, standing
alongside. does it with as much ease
apparently as man would move
shovelful the same distance. Its huge
teeth, which form the digging edge of
the shovel, are forced into the pile, the
load is lifted on crane and the whole
is swung rapidly over the car, when
the rear end of the shovel is released
and the coal falls out again. Again
the shovel is lowered to the pile, again,
with crunching and rafting of chains
and tackle it takes another bite, is
swung clear of the pile and empties
Its load. 1t requires two men to oper-
ate the shovel, and three or four more
to build track on which the machine is
moved forward as it eats its way thru
the pile.

SWAMP VOTE COUNTER
So Many Votes Wore Received This
Morning That Up to- Noon it Was
Not Possible to Count Them, and
Standing Of the Names Is Only an
Approximate Estimate.

SO many votes were received on TINS
the last day of voting for the teams
new name, that up to the time this
was written the one who does the
counting had not time to count them,
hence it is impossible to give more
than an approximate standing o.. the
different names. 1t is certain, tho, that
either the Brownies or Adrian Alsons
were in first place at l o'clock, but the
difference in their total number of
votes Is small. Boosters is next and
Ansons is fourth and Leaders fifth. The
heaviest vote is expected this after
noon but all votes must be in by 6
o'clock this evening. The out
vote which came in the morning mail
was enormous. Votes We're received
from ten different towns in and out of
the state. The result will be announced
in Thursday evenings paper, with the
name of the person or persons who
suggested the name which receives the
largest number of votes. The public is
asked not to telephone the base ball ed
itor tomorrow asking for the result,
as this information will only be given
out thru Thursday evenings paper.
