How People
Pay the Freight

Tray Stannatd Baker In McClure's.)
That loss has to be made up by
somebody; 1t does not come out Of
the pockets Of the railroad men, we
may be sure Of that. The railroad
gets It back in high rates On the
farmers products-for the farmers
have no trust. They get 1t back in
rates ON your hats and shoes, your
food. your coal, and other .commo-
dities. You pay 1t, you are q sort OF
unconscious philanthropist assisting
Mr.. Armour in his business by paying
part Of his freight rate.
Armour and his associates not only
ascend to the heights OF power, play
ing thus with the destinies Of cities,
bur they 90 also to the depths Of pet
'ty trickery. Nothing seems too great
nor too small when a penny Is to be
turned. One would suppose that when
they make millions In wholesale rate
determinations that they would not
descend to mean and trivial subter-
fuges. But examine this condition OF
things. Beef Is hung up In h re-
frigerator cars. There Is a space un-
derneath on the floor Of the car. 1t
has been charged that this space Is
sometimes crowded full Of dressed
poultry, eggs, and SO on. Poultry and
eggs take a high freight rate; but
thus packed, Armour gets them car
ried for nothing! II Is his car; It Is
his packing house; he nas tremen-
dous influence with the railroads. In
spectors are, Of course, appointed TO
see that no contraband freight ID car
ried and that the weighs are correct.
" registered, but there many cars
and few inspectors-as the testimony
in these cases plainly shows. How
much of such business goes OF no one
k~nows-and no one a find OUT
but II has been shown to exist In
numerous cases. OF course, II Armour
can carry his poultry and eggs from
Chicago to New York free, that Is, II
he can steal the freight charge, or
even a small part OF It, he can under
sell his competitors and ultimately
put them out OF business. Indeed, a
very large part Of the poultry and
egg business Of the country Is now
In his hands and more Is drifting
that way every year.

tuberculosis in Cattle.

We may define tuberculosis as =
communicable disease due to the
presence Of microscopical plant par
asites in the animal body. These
parasites or germs al they are called.
cause the formation OF hard, knotty
lunches called tubercules, which
vary in size from that Of . pin head
to that OF q walnut and often larger.
When these tubercules are cut open
with a knife, a gritty feeling or SEN
sation Is produced very much tho
same as when a knife Is cutting
through sand. This Is n Of the
best ways In the pOst-mortem to dag.

Greeks 1t was called "Phthsis." mean

may be given for taking vigorous
steps to eradicute this disease. First:
that OF public health. and second. that
OF successful animal industry.

critics that tuberculosis Is c0mmun-
icable from man to animals, the ques-

Clones Of the southwest, comprising

Symptoms: The disease invades
the animal system through so many

has reached a critical stage before
any external signs are apparent by
which 1t can be diagnosed. though

Mine Horror Grows Less.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 11.-As
the story Of the grewsome tragedy at
the Paral Mise in the Loup Greek
coal field unfolds there is evidence
that the disaster is slightly minimized
by the Fact that the death list is some
less than the first accounts gave. There
were about 80 men in the mine at the
time of the explosion, and Of this
number IL have up to the present
time been brought out alive, while six
bodies of other unfortunates have
been recovered. Twelve more who are
accounted for are yet in the mine,
and may be brought out later.
Because Of the wrecking of the fan
machinery by the explosion it was full
ly two hours and a half from the time
of the explosion until the first rescue
party was able to descend. They found
huddled together the bodies of II
poor unfortunates whose lives had not
been snuffed out, and who had evil
IDENTIFY struggled bravely through the
hell Of fire, smoke and foul air to the
bottom of the exit. Only Robert Foth-
ergill had suffered serious injury. His
injuries consisted of two fractures Of
the right leg.
A negro had been bereft Of reason
by the terrible experience he had I'M
dergone, and when found was raw
ing maniac. On being brought to the
surface this man rsgained control Of
his faculties.
The coolest and most seif-possess-
ed of the little group of imprisoned
miners was it's youngest member, Rob
ert Pratt, boy Of Is, the son of the
mine foreman, whose brother lay dead
in another part Of the mine. Young
Pratt took virtual command of the par
ty at the bottom Of the shaft. Motto
ing that the imprisoned men had light
ed their mine lamps he prevailed upon
them to extinguish their lights, lest
it bring about a second explosion.
Among those who seemed to have
received the full force of the terrific
blast was gigantic negro named VIM.
Morris. His body was severed In
twain and the upper and lower Sec
tions were found by the searching par
ty nearly 100 yards apart. The head
had been smashed almost to the point
of obliteration. One leg was broken
in several places and the arms were
crushed. OF the other dead which
have been found so far all were bad
ly ,smutilated by the force Of the ex-
plosion, but we're little burned and
easily recognizable.

ECCH WILL HANG.
Looks Like Chicago's "Bluebeard'
Will Have to Swing Off.

Springfield, Ill, Feb. Johann
Hoch, the 1Chicago Bluebeard," will
hang in Chicago for the murder of his
wife on Friday, February %. The Il
linois Supreme Court today denied
the petition for rehearing of the
case, and the matter is settled as far
as the ruling of the court is concerned.
It is probable that attorneys repre-
senting the condemned man will again
take up the case with Governor De-
neen and attempt to secure conmu-
tation of the sentence before the State
Board Of Pardons.
lHoch was tried before a jury in the
Cook County Criminal Court several
months ago, and a verdict of guilty
was returned. Hoch was sentenced to
death and his attorneys asked for a
hearing before the State Board of Par.
dons, which was allowed.
In the meantime, Governor De-
neen granted a respite, and in their
recommendations to the Governor the
State Board said that it would be Just
to grant Hoch a stay of sentence until
the Supreme Court would hand down
a decision.
At the last session of the court
the judgment of the Cook County
Criminal Court was confirmed, and a
short time later a potion for rehear-
ing was fled. In disposing of the case
today no opinion was given, but atten-
'tlon was called to the former decision,
which will stand.

TO DISPEL THE
CRITICISM
THE PRESENT SCHEME OF THE
STANDARD OIL co.
TO DIVIDE VALUE OF SHARES
Each Outstanding Share is to be Di-
vided in Value to Six 50 There Will
be Many Missionaries to Help Stem
The Tide.

New York, Feb. 11.-Unofficial an
nouncement has been made in Wall
street that the Standard Oil Company
is preparing to increase its capital
stock from $1OO,OOO,OOO to $500, OOO,-
900, by issuing six shares for each
one now outstanding. 1t is not de-
sired to raise Immediately any money
on this new issue, but simply to di-
vide the present high-priced shares
into six and give them to the stock
holders.
The company has two objects, it
is alleged, in doing this; one is to
try to dispel the criticism that arises
every time the Standard declares a
40 or so per cent dividend; the other
to bring about scattering of the
stock among a larger number of hold
ers, 80 that there may be missionaries
in every town to help stem the tide
Of opposition to the trust.
When the present stock is cut up
into sixths the price will drop from
800, which it was yesterday, to about
115, and the dividends, instead of
being more than forty per cent, will
become about 7 per cent. No stock
holder will be loser, because he will
hold six times as many shares as be-
fore. On the contrary, he will gain,
because when the stock is reduced to
figures where people can afford to buy
it, the price is pretty sure to rise
above one-sixth its former value.

Berlin, Feb. 11.-Professor Emil
Won Behring, the discoverer of the
diphtheria serum, addressing the Ger
man Agricultural Council, announce
ed his determination to adhere to the
resolution which he promulgated in
Paris, Of keeping his tuberculosis rem
edy secret till autumn.
The professor discussed lengthily
the method of preventing eonsump-
ton by immunizing milch cows. The
aim is to secure milk having immuniz-
ing properties. He claims to have APP
pro0imately solved this problem.
Cows are treated when very young
with a fluid, which Professor Behring
calls tuberoulase. 1t is injected un-
der the skin of the young COWS re-
peatedly for two to four weeks. The
remedy at first was very costly, be-
cause it was almost impossible to pre-
serve it in good condition, but a
method has recently been discovered
by which it can be preserved satisfac-
torily and at moderate cost.
Professor Behring also tested cows
which showed virulent type of tu-
berculosis in their milk, but the bacil-
Ii disappeared after several weeks
treatment. His theory is that chill
dren fed on milk from cows rendered
immune through his treatment become
themselves immune.
