the retiring Moderator, preached
the opening sermon, after which

churches were represented, and
nearly all the preachers were pres

meeting that has ever been held; 80
many say, who have been attend
ing since its organization.
A report from the representatives
present called for in order to ascer-
tain how many of this presbytery
we're for union and how many
against it. The reports showed
that there were 354 members op-
posed to union 242 in favor Of un-
ion. The preachers were not In
Guided in this report. The people
of RoEllen including all denomina-
tons manifested the greatest hos
pitality by opening the doors OF
their homes for the entertainment
of delegates and the many visitors
who were present, and spreading a
bountiful dinner on the ground
Friday and Saturday. Elder ]. j.
Cherry represented the Union City
congregation and J. w. Burney, the

SURVIVORS OF FIRST TENNES.
SEE REGIMENT
Will Meet at Centennial Park on the
Forty-Fourth Anniversary of
Battle of Perryville.

The survivors of the First Ten
nessee Confederate Regiment will
hold their annual reunion at Cen
tennial Park on Oct s, the forty
fourth anniversary of the battle OF
Perryville. At the last reunion of
the survivors of the regiment they
decided to hold their next reunion
at Nashville, and recently the sur
surviving mem bers in Nashville and
vicinity met and selected Centen-
NAL Park and the date specified
for the reunion. The survivors are
scattered far a n d wide over the
country, but it is sincerely hoped
that every one of them will make
arrangements to attend this reun-
ion, as it will be held at the birth
place of the regiment. The Com
mittee on Arrangements will make
ample pro vision to entertain all
who attend.
On May 10, 1861, ten organized
military companies, composed of
over 1000 young men, representing
the best families of Tennessee,
marched from their quarters in this
city to Sulphur Spring Bottom,
about where the base ball park is
now located, and there organized
the regiment. George Many, then
young lawyer of Nashville, was
elected Colonel.
Immediately upon his election
Col. Nancy FASTENED to the Capt.
tol and rendered the services of his
regiment to Isham G. Harris, to be
rendered through him to the Con-
federate Government, just then re-
Gently organized at Montgomery,
Ala. Col. Nancy was informed by
Gov. Harris that his regiment was
the first to tender its services, and
there it, by precedent, should be
known as the First Tennessee Regi-
ment of the Confederate Army.
There is not single survivor of
that regiment today who does not
take great pride in proclaining
himself member of the First Ten
nessee Regiment. 1t first saw serv-
ice in the mountains of West vir-
GINA, under Gen. r. e. Lee; then

WORST FORM OF TORMENT.
Indigestion Makes Life Miserable
How To Cure It,

There is no need of telling a person
with stomach trouble that indigestion
makes life miserable. The burning
and gnawing feeling in the stomach,
the sick and nervous headaches, the
sleeplessness, general debility, aching
back, specks before the eyes, and the
nervousness, irritability and despond-
ency that comes from indigestion,
makes life a torment.
Happily physicians prescription
for stomach troubles, called Mi-o-no
stomach tablets, is now for sale by the
Red Cross Pharmacy, who recommend
it as an absolute and complete cure
for indigestion and all stomach Ills
Mi-o-na is not temporary relief or a
mere digestive. Take one of the lit
tie tablets before meals for few days
and the digestive organs will be so
toned ard strengthened that you will
be able to eat anything intended for
food without fear of indigestion and
distress.
Mi-o-na is so universally successful
in curing all forms of stomach weak
nesses that the Red Cross Pharmacy
give a signed guarantee with each soc
box that your money will be refunded
unless the remedy gives you satisfac-
tion. This certainly shows they have
strong faith in the medicine. Many
of their customers have used it with
the greatest success n d praise 1t
highly as the only cure they have ever
found for stomach troubles.

SAYS MERCHANTS MAY
"ADVlSE EACH other

Olympia, Sept. lathe Seattle
Produce Association is not an illegal
association and it's members have the
legal right to advise each other not to
extend credit to retail dealers who
are delinquent in payments, according
to decision of the supreme court in
the damage suit of John Woodhouse
against j. B. Powles. Powles belongs
to the association and Woodhouse is q
retail grocer in Seattle. Woodhouse
was refused credit by member of the
association one day, having been re-
ported delinquent by Powles. The re-
port was mistake, owing to failure
to give credit for q cancelled order,
and Powles at once corrected the error
and took Woodhouse's name from the
DELINQUENT list. The King county
court refused to allow damages when
Woodhouse sued for 5000, and the
suspreme court says that as Wood
house failed to prove that he had sus-
tanned damages the judgment below Is
affirmed. incidentally, the court says
the association is legal.

ISSUE Of CIRCULAR
COMES AS SURPRISE

New York, Sept. S.-Secretary
Shaw's letter on the use of public
money for speculative purposes Great
ed great deal of surprise in banking
circles ir this city. Here it was be-
lieved that good deal of the money
to be deposited by the government at
interior points would speedily be di-
verted to this center.
Special interest was shown in the
secretary's order enjoining depository
banks from lending government funds
at high rates. 1t was recognized by
the New York bankers that the treas
ury is in a position to maintain close
watch on the operations of the depos-
itory banks in this connection, because
of the report made by them five times
a year to the comptroller of the cur
rency.
Liberal selling of stocks on the ex-
change followed the announcement Of
Secretary Shaws' circular, and several
of the leading stocks dropped one to
two points in price.

.SHAW'S CIRCULAR
SECRETARY OF TREASURY CRITI.
ClzES PRACTICES OF BANKS.
Gives Depositories of Govern
ment Funds Warning Not to
Loan Money on Call to New
York Banks-Cotham Is Sur
prised.

Washington, Sept. 8 Secretary
Shaw has made public circular let
ter, dated yesterday, to all national
bank repositories, in which he says in
effect that he expects public moneys
depository banks to he used in the
communities where it is deposited and
not loaned through bankers and other
agents in New York for speculative
purposes. The letter is as follows:
Il am advised that many banks
scattered throughout the country are
loaning their surplus funds through
brokers and others in. New York on
call at high rates Of interest. Money
loaned on call is we'll nigh universally
for speculative schemes. I recognize
the right of any individual to specu-
late in stocks or in lands and the legal
right of any bank to loan money at
appropriate rates of interest, at home
or abroad, on ample security, even
with knowledge that it is being used
for speculative purposes.
II am not willing, however, that
government money shall be enticed
away from the locality where it has
been deposited for the purpose of be-
ing used in this way. Public deposits
are made in aid of legitimate business
as distinguished from speculation,
whatever its nature. Depository city
banks are expected to loan at regular
rates or not at all, and they must not
be tempted to act as agents instead
of correspondents for other depository
banks in making call loans at high
rates.
IF you have more money than
your community can appropriately alb
sorb, please return it to the treasury,
for 1t can be promptly placed where it
will do much good. This does not ap-
ply to banks with large reserves regu-
larly on deposit with city correspond
ents."

EXPECTS c. P. R. In
SEATTLE In Is MONTHS

Seattle, Sept. 13.-Reports which
have been current for the past few
months to the effect that the Canadian
Pacific contemplated building into Sc
attic were further supported yesterday
by G. E. Loss, railroad contractor OF
San Francisco, who announced his be-
lief that the Canadian road will be ex-
tended here within eighteen months.
Mr.. Loss thinks, also. that the West
ern Pacific will be here within two
years.
Mr.. Loss is at the head of the G. E.
Loss Company, of San Francisco, one
of the largest railway contracting
firms in the West. His company is
now building the Similkameen extern
sion of the Canadian Pacific and an
nounces that that line will be finished
within ninety days. Besides the Can
adian Pacific work the company is
constructing the Salt Lake and San
Francisco, an independent line from
Santa Cruz to San Francicso; and sew
eral other lines and branches in Cal
ifornia and Oregon.
Expects Road Here in Is Months
The intimate connection Of Mr..
Loss with railroad construction on the
Pacific coast makes him a close OBJ
server and student of railroad condi-
tions, which lends weight to his opin-
ion in these matters, although it is en-
tirely unofficial.
''You may say" said Mr.. Loss last
night, "that I believe the Canadian
Pacific will reach Seattle within eigh-
teen months. There is at present a
feeling among the officials of the road
that an expansive policy is needed,
and it appears to be their intention to
fight ]. j. Hill in his own territory.
"While I am not at liberty to point
it out to you, know of a practicable
route which the Canadian Pacific can
obtain from Vancouver to this city,
tapping territory not reached by the
Great Northern or the Northern Pa
cific. The Canadian Pacific railroad,
I believe, will build every mile of it's
extension and not avail itself of exist
ing lines.

NEW PERSONAL TAX LAW
Would Make Them Payable Same Year

Would Make Them Payable Same Year
They Are Assessed.
Seattle, Sept. 12.-At the request
of the state tax commission, County
Treasurer Matt Fl. Gormley has just
checked up the personal tax collsc
tions for the year 1904, with the OBJ
ject of obtaining statistics pertaining
to the drafting of new personal tax
law. The figures for 1905 are not yet
available, as the taxes for that year
are now in couse of collection. In
regard to the 1904 taxes it was found
that 97.3 per cent of the entire per-
sonal tax levy has been collected.
It is with the intention of getting at
transients that the new law is being
drafted, The intention is that all per-
sonal taxes shall be payable as soon as
possib BILE after the levy. except in cases
where the taxpayer is the owner of
real estate. In that case the levy may
be assessed against his property. The
change would mean a saving to the
county in the cost of collection, for
the services Of some of the collectors
could be dispensed with.

Wheat RATE HELD UP
,unGF HAKFORD ENJOINS WASH.
INGTON Commission.
,,a,,ments in Case Brought By
OR.&N. to Restrain Enforce
ment of Joint Wheat Rate Re
lated Only to Question of Jur-
isdiction.

Seattle. Sept. 1O.-Federal Judge
uanford has granted temporary re-
ltroining order forbidding the state
Sailroad commission interfering with
.ho Dragon Railroad & Navigation or
thor state railroads in an attepmt to
0nforce the joint wheat rate order.
The temporary restraining order will
continue in effect until the case can
10 heard on its merits. It was granted
flor two hours discussion of the
law.
Federal Judge Hanford declared
of the outset that he did not care to
baar any argument on the constitu-
tonality of the law until the case was
finally called at its trial. Neither
did he care to listen to the merits of
the case. He asked merely for an ar
pument over the jurisdiction of the
federal court and the danger of injury
TO the railroads.
In raising the question of jurisdic-
ton, the attorneys opposing the in
iunction argued that a suit against
the commission was in reality directed
against the state of Washington, and
therefore could not be heard in fed
eral court. The railroads maintained
that, should the law be found uncon-
stitutional, the commission would
have no existence, and could not there
fore be the state.
The Hartman system attorneys
showed that the parties at interest
we're residents of different states, and
that steam railroads we're subjected to
the commissions rulings, while cleo
trio roads we're not, satisfying the first
requirement. On the second it was
demonstrated daily penalty was i'm
posed for ignoring the commission
rulings. Then followed the injunc-
ton.
The effect of the court order pre-
vents the state commission from max
ing any supplementary regulations un-
der the joint wheat decree, such as
fixing the proportions of the rate on
joint shipment which should 60 to the
roads Interested. It suspends entirely
the force of the state tribunals find
ings on grain rates until the case has
finally been passed upon.

DICK, FORAKER and
PRESIDENT ENDORSED

Dayton, O., Sept. 13.-In what has
been for years the "of year" in state
elections, the Republicans of Ohio
yesterday held one of the hottest con-
ventions in the history of the party in
this state, and still more remarkable
was it for the fact that the contest
was not over the nomination of candi-
dates for the state Offices, for which
the convention had been called, but
over the selection of a chairman for
the state executive committee, involv.
ing the state leadership of United
States Senator Dick.
The senator won not only on this
proposition but also en- the question of
Endorsement of his work and that of
Senator Foraker in the United states
senate. Many of the delegates took
the position that in view of the fact
that the senators had not entirely
agreed with the policy of President
Roosevelt on national legislation it
would be inconsistent to give an in
dorsement of equal force to both the
president and the two senators In
winning victory over Congressman
Burton and Harris M. Daugherty on
these two questions, Senator Dick re-
tanned his chieftainship and prestige,
but, on the other hand, the platform
In which appeared the merchant ma
rlne and some other planks, indicated
that Mr.. Burton had not been idle in
other directions.
State Nominations Made
After the smoke of the real fight
mad blown away the delegates settled
down to the business for which the
convention had been called, nominal
ing state ticket, headed by Carmi
A. Thompson. of Ironton, present
speaker of the house of representatives,
as candidate for secretary of state.
henlck W. Dunlap was nominated for
ualry and food commissioner, E. A.
Jones for state school commissioner
ana Geo. n Watkins for member OF
'ne hoard of public works.
