TO TALK 1T over
Retail Merchants Want Voice OF
Citizens on Telephone
Matter.
MASS Meeting Is CALLED
Men Posted on Subject Will Be Heard
Merchants Also Recommend That
Stores Close Al! Day May 80.

In view of the situation in which the
city now finds itself with reference to
it's relations with the Central Union
Telephone company, the directors of
the Rock Island Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION request the attendance of ev-
cry telephone user in the city at a mass
meeting of citizens, which will be held
at Turner hall Friday evening at S
O'Clock. The purpose of this meeting
is to discuss the telephone question as
it applies to the city's interests, that
consensus of opinion may be obtain
ed as to the best method of procedure
for the protection OF telephone patrons
as well at the taxpaying public. Speak
ers well posted in telephone matters
will be present, and as this is a very
important question, a large attendance
is requested. Some time ago the mer-
chants asked the council to go ahead
with the fight in the courts, but under
the circumstances the question arises
as to how far the matter should be car
ried in legal contest. 1t is now desir-
ed to consult the people who will be
taxed to pay for the fight as to wheth-
er or not it should be carried further
If satisfactory agreement can be con-
Summated.
To Close All Day.
At an adjourned meeting of the di-
rectOrs of the Rock Island Retail Mer-
chants association yesterday, the di-
rectors voted to recommend to the mer-
chants of the city that the city's stores
be closed all day Memorial day. 1t has
been the custom of the merchants of
the city to close their stores only in the
afternoon, and to remain open all
morning. This, it is felt, should be dis
continued, and the stores closed all
day in memorial to the country's fallen
heroes. 1t is probable that this rec
ommendatiOn, coming as 1t does from
the Retail Merchants association, will
meet with quite general favor.

JOURNALISTS NERVE
FooLHARDY ENTERPRISE THAT
COST HIM HIS LIFE.
Stuck by Telephone to Report Prog
ress Of Raging Fire Until Too
Late to Make Safe
Retreat.

When a man rushed breathlessly
into the sixth-story room in which
William MacGolly was correcting
proofs, and cried "The place is on
Firel" MacGolly merely leaned back
in his chair
The man disappeared Firsf
thoughts urged MacGolly to follow his
example. Second babe him wait. Here
was a chance for the newspaper world
to see what sort of men they had on
the Minneapolis newspaper.
MacGolly picked up the telephone
and, ringing up news agency, in.
formed them that the building was on
fire. Then he threw up the window,
and calmly watched the progress of
the fire raging some stories below
him.
The fire is fast making Roadway"
he next informed the agency. Il am
watching it from the sixth story. 1t
is now in the second"
Then / guess you'd better &c"
remarked the man at the other end Of
the wire.
MacGolly took no notice The fire
would make name for him if he

made good use of his opportunity.
"Brigades are arriving rapidly" he
continued after a few minutes, ad
dressing the agency. "The fire is not
under control. however, and 1t looks
as if the building will be Quilted"
Ten minutes passed.
'Now it has reached the third
story" he announced through the tel
ephone.
Now the fifth. Smoke is entering
my office. The fire is making fearful
Roadway"
BY this time the loud cracking of
burning wood warned MacGolly to
seek his own safety. He opened the
office door, Down one flight of stairs
and along a passage he knew there
was an emergency staircase.
Too late! A volume of smoke and
the long fork of flame drove him
hastily back. He closed the door.
Not until then did he realize his
peril. Escape down the seething
staircase was impossible. Still his
courage did not desert him.
The. black, thick coil of the tele-
phone attracted MacGolly's attention.
1t seemed to offer him his only chance
of escape A weak thread, but he
must take 1t! The door behind him
blistered, and the room reeked of var.
nish.
Far below a breathless crowd saw
a man suddenly grasp the telephone
cable overhead and swing from the
burning offices. Hand over hand he
made his way almost to the middle
of the street.
Now the man hung motionless. He
seemed in difficulties. A cry OF hor-
ror filed the air MacGolly had
fallen.
Down, down, dropped the poor tor
tured body, until at last it fell with
a thud into the street. There had been
no time to spread jumping sheets. 50

A SUFFERER
FROM PILES
N. S. Wilbur, Secretary Louis
Vile Base Ball Club, After
Ten Years Suffering, Is
Cured by ParaCamph.
HAD TRIED MANY REMEDIES

N. S. Wilbur, the popular Secretary o.
the Louisville Base Ball Club, says
~ was a sufferer from Chronic Pile,
for period Of ten years or more, and
while used practically all of the known
remedies, 1 received nothing but temper
airy relief. One night while travelling my
suffering became so intense that in des-
peration used Paracamph it being the
only preparation that had with me.
did not think for moment that l would
getrelief, but in my condition was willing
to try anything Much to my surprise
after the first application my suffering
became less, I was able TO 90 to sleep and
when I awoke III the morning MY pain
was all gone J applied Paracainph two
or three times afterwards, not because
experienced any suffering but feared a
return of the pain.
l am glad to state, however, that the
trouble has entirely disappeared and I
believe myself, for the first time in
over ten years cured.
Iregard the effect Of ParaCamph in
my case as simply wonderful and
would not have believed it possible
for remedy to do what it has done
had it not been for my actual exper-
fence with the preparation"
Paracamph positively does not contain
anything that will injure the most deli
cate skin. 1t is Clean safe, cooling,
soothing, application that every one can
use every day with pleasing and satisfac-
tory results.
A trial will convince you. So get a
bottle of Paracamph to-day from your
druggist. We guarantee every bottle to
give satisfaction. If it fails to DO what
we claim, 80 back to your druggist,
the man you know, and get your
money.

RAILROAD QUESTIONS RAISED.
Old Disputed Points To Be Resettled by
Commission.

Washington. Aug. 31.-The shippers of tho
country are taking advantage OF the new rail-
road freight rate law to seek relief from the In
terstate Commerce Commission for what they
regard as unreasonable unjust conditions inn
posed upon them by the railroad companies. Pc
titions being received by the commission
from shippers involving not only questions that
are raised directly by the recently enacted law,
but including some old questions into which an
endeavor is being made to breathe new life
A series Of petitions was filed with the COM
mission to-day presenting question which has
been, at various times before the commission
for many years. and on which the commission
has rendered at least four decisions.
The Texas Cattle Raistrs Association. Of
Texas. entered complaint against the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas Railway and many other rail-
road corporations because OF a charge OF " a
car on livestock made by the Terminal Railroad
at Chicago. The complainant maintains that the
charge is excessive and unreasonable. and that
it ought to be included in the through rate on
carloads of livestock from Texas to Chicago In
tervening in this petition complainants are
the American National Livestock Association
and the Corn Belt Meat Association.
The Interstate Commerce Commission decided
several years ago that the charge Of 81 a car.
as a transfer of terminal rate in Chicago. was
excessive. 1t fixed 81 car as the proper tariff
The case taken 10 the Supreme Court or the
United States and the order OF the commission,
fixing 81 a. car as the rate of terminal charge in
Chicago. was overthrown on the ground of lack
of authority.
Now under the law, the complatnants
again appear before the Interstate Commerce
Commission and ask that the case be reopened
and that the commission decide it IN the hight Of
the new act. The petitioners hope to have the
case considered on the evidence taken heretofore.
The testimony in the various cases is volumi-
nous
Dovetailing into this case Is another complaint
flied to-day with the commission. II Is that OF
the American Livestock Association and the Cat
lie Raisers' Association of Texas, against the
Texas and Pacific Railway Company, and prac-
ticaI!y all of the other railroad lines west of the
Mississippi River II is urged by the complain
ants that the defendant company refuses to
make a Joint through on livestock. in car
load lots shipped from points In Texas to the
market centres, such as Chicago. ST. Louis,
Omaha and Kansas City. In 1904 the defendant
company cancelled it's joint rates livestock
and now will accept such traffic only on the un-
at junction points of the Texas & Pacific Rail-
way Company with other lines. This il Is
urged by the complainants is unjust and I'M
reasonable, and subjects them 10 great incon-
yenience and damage. They ask, therefore. that
the commission compel the railroads defendant
in the action quote TO them a joint rate on
livestock as formerly

LABELS BY OCTOBER I.
Secretary Wilson Cannot Ertend
Time for Packers.

Washington. Aug 31.-Secretary Wilson as
sured the representatives OF the meat packing
interests OF the country, with whom he con-
tinued his conference to-day. that he had no
authority to extend beyond October 1 next the
placing of labels on canned or other meat prod
ucts. He told the packers fatty that they must
be prepared on that date properly to label their
goods or they would not be permitted to send
them through the channels of Interstate COM
merce. The question was raised as to the status
OF the goods now on the shelves Of the whole
sale and retail merchants Of the country The
Secretary said it was manfestly impossible for
the government to inspect them. The owners or
holders of the goods. he suggested. would have
to take their chances on selling them. One thing
was certain-they could not be shipped from one
state TO another. The law does not prohibit
their sale where they happen now to be. The
disposal of such goods will be dependent upon
the desire of the consumer
Secretary Wilson said that while the packers
We're anxious to conform IN all respects TO the
law the conference had made evident the fact
that some OF them would be unable to comply
with all Of Its provisions by October because
they had not been sufficiently forehanded I'm
their preparations. These men necessarily would
be Obliged. the Secretary said to confine their
business operations within their own state lines
until such time they were prepared fully to
meet the requirements of the meat inspection
