Women and Matrimony.

Those who keep a close watch on
women's ways profess to see q de-
cided falling off in enthusiasm
among the fair sex concerning the
right and opportunity to cook and tie
increasing fields in which they may
find chance to earn money or gain q
livelihood. Women are beginning to
find out" says a close student of this
burning question, that work is work,
after all, and that competition grows
flercer all the time. Young women
who come from the country districts
with high hopes Of independence and
ideals about living their own life I'M
trammeled by old traditions soon learn
that 1t is struggle harder than any
they might encounter at home. Then
their views change and they begin to
think much better of matrimony as a
vocation than they did before. 1t will
be some time before this new feeling
will have much weight in lessening
the present rush of women into al
avenues of labor, but there will be ar
effort in time and the rush will sub
side. The shadow of independence
rather than the substance is all tina
many women gain. and this Is beng
slowly realized"

Kansas City, Mo.-Members of half

had hired Thomas to attend to the
shipping of their goods from the At

the witnesses would say that these

Thomas.

Anti Dog League.

Although the dog is generally ac-
repted as being the truest friend of
the human race, he has his enemies
who are loyal to their hatred. An eff
fort OF these people to get together
and give force and direction to their
antipathy has just begun, having its
origin with Ambrose Bierce, the es-
sayist and satirist on the follies and
toibles of both CANNES and humans.
Mr.. Bierce, says the New York Press,
has all his lifetime been an enemy
OF the dog and has given great deal
OF attention to projects for his re-
moval from the face of the earth. In
the prospectus of the Anti-Dog League
1t Is set forth that he is the only
one OF our domestic animals whose
existence is due altogether to hered-
ity. he is an anachronism, sur
vival, a heritage of shame. He is adj
dicted to more unmentionable habits

the situation like a brick ship in a

Philadelphia. Several interesting
developments marked the closing ses-
sion of the interstate commerce com
missions investigation into the alleged
discrimination by railroads in the dis
tribution Of cars in the bituminous
coal field.
Testimony of a sensational character
was given by f. Albert Won Boyneburg,
general manager Of the Reakert Broth
ers company, coal operators, with Of
fees in this city. He stated that with
in the last two and a half years his
company's car supply had been so in
adequate that the business had been
practically ruined He declared that
other companies had been favored in
the distribution of cars and said he
had no doubt that discrimination had
been practiced against his company be-
cause it had failed to make gifts OF
stock to the railroad officials. He gave
it as his opinion that President A. j

A Valuable AGENT.

The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutritiVe, antiSeptic and anti
ferment. 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned in Golden Medical Discovery'' in
subduing chronic or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away OF flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in tho early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
OF the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in it's earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obStin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarseness. In acute coughs it is
not so effective 1t is in the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even
when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvellous cures. Send for and read the

Kansas City, Mo.-George L. Thorn
as, freight broker, and L. B. Taggart,
a clerk working for Thomas, In the
United States district court here late
Friday were found guilty of the charge
of conspiracy TO Illegally give rebates
to shippers. The jury considered the
case only 30 minutes before arriving at
O verdict.
George II. Crosby, general freight
traffic manager for the Burlington
railway, on trial on the same charge,
was discharged, the court sustaining a
demurrer alleging that no evidence
had been presented to connect Crosby
with a conspiracy. The indictment
charged that Crosby had conspired
with George l.. Thomas and l.. b. Tag
CART to pay rebates ia certain persons.
Then the two cases against Thomas
and Taggart were considered. In the
first case, in which the defendants
were charged with conspiring with
Crosby to pay rebates, the demurrer Of
the defense was granted.
In the second case against Thomas
and Taggart in which they are charged
with conspiring with shippers to OBJ
tain and pay rebates, Judge McPher-
son overruled the demurrer. In this
case, the court said, the government
contended there was an addenda to the
contracts and that addenda contem-
plated crime by conspiracy. The case
therefore must go to the jury. The de-
Tense offered no evidence.

PENDANTS Illegally Conspired to Give Re-

Ing at Cleveland is Sensational

sions were a continuation Of the In
vestigation adjourned in Chicago near
ly two weeks ago.
State Senator Emery, of Pennsyl-
vania, told of the alleged spy system
of the Standard to obtain information
concerning the business Of rivals.
He had a contest, he said, with the
Pennsylvania railroad. A field Of oil
had been found in the vicinity Of
Steubenyille, o., and he obtained a
rate of IL cents hundred gallons to
Bradford, Pa. The rate was allowed
for only few days, however, and was
increased to II cents He invaded the
general Office of the Pennsylvania COM
pany and after being refused admit
lance to several officers, finally reached
one of them and had heated contro-
versy. By threatening to bring the
matter before the interstate commerce
commission he obtained the desired
rate.
State Senator ]. w. Lee, of Pitts
burg, told Of the information and OPP
Grafton of several oil companies by
himself and others in the last II years
which he said were run at loss for
several years because Of the Standards
methods. The witness said that it was

Senator Emery succeeded in getting a
pipe line through to the seacoast. Had
it not been for that no Independent
company could have lived for six
