cry bushel of wheat sold by the spec
ulators there was at their command a
bushel to fill that trade there would
be no fluctuations of the markets en-
cept those which are caused by chang
es in the ratio between supply and
demand. Then the farmer could store
his grain in the fall, if he cared to do
so, and could with some business GER
tainty determine what it would be
worth six months from that time.
There would then be some reason why
the farmer should be student of the
market which he supplies. But with
hundred bushels of wheat sold and
traded for every one in existence, it is
evident that no man could determine
what the market would be month or
even a fortnight in advance.
The farmers are at the mercy of
these spectators who make prices
not in accordance with any reasonable
business principles Lat on the same
principle as the plan of freeze-out in
a game of poker. The demand de-
ponds upon the financial ability of
some public plunderer to put up mar
gins sufficient to involve the bank
account of his opponents. The prices
vary with this ability and not with the
ability of the farmers to supply the
demands. The grain which is actual
ly in existence is swept in price by
the changing conditions wrought by
the spectators, because the few bush
els in existence can be used to fill a
part of the orders made, while on the
others the purchasers and sellers
merely dig the difference between the
buying and selling prices out of their
pockets.
The proposed bill among other things
provides that all literature and letters
in any way relating to the business
shall be excluded from the mails, and
attempts TO prevent the existence of
those spectators who seem to he
operating in interstate commerce in
the matter from continuing to do so.

 The mayor stated that the object of the adjourned meeting. was to make provision for the purchase Of new generator for the light plant. The council empowered the mayor to make the necessary arrangements for the pay for same.
 The crossings question was then brought up. MT Brown presented written contracts. F he mayor thought il was best 10 post pone this question until the first meeting in September. He said that the revenue of the city was something over ss. .o00 and the saloon license amounted te half this sum. The election was ar. preaching, and there was consider. able agitation of the question of li cense or no license and if the people saw it to vote against license il would place the city in a bad financial condition, therefore he thought il best to suspend all public work of any magnitude until after the election.

 what To Do.
 There IS comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-ROOt is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best.

SWOLLEN FORTUNE" IS BECOMING FRIGHTENED F
OF RAILROAD RATES
NOT REACHED FOR MONTHS
Commerce Commission SWamped With Work
Since Law Became Effective-No Complaints
Yet Made by Shippers

IT VIII be many months, la all prob
ability, before the railroad rate law OF
last session is brought to "A test in the
courts. and before the country really
knows whether the Interstate Commerce
Commission can exercise the rate-mak-
ing power The commission has been
fairly sWamped with work since the
new law went .ato effect and SO far has
not heard "a single complaint from a
shipper aggrieved over too high rate.
Members OF the commission say they
do not expect to begin hearing COM
plants over rates and practices Of rail-
roads before the first of the coming
year They may possibly begin some
hearings Ia December. but this is not
likely, as so many other things are
pressing FOR cOnsidera ton. Until the
commission takes up a complaint and
orders rate lowered. there will be no
opportunity for a test by the railroads
or the Tate-hXing power.
There is much evidence. however, that
the railroads intend To oppose the plan

plan was indicated recently In a force
