AMAZING STORY IS
 TOLD IN NASHVILLE
ACCOMMODATION PAPER AMOUNT ING TO $3oo,0oo HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO FLOAT MILLION-DoLLAR LUMBER COMBINE.

Nashville, February 14-The involuntary bankruptcy proceedings instituted here against the John M Smith Lumber com pany of Nashville have served to bring to light an amazing story regarding the manner in which something like $SO0.0O0 of accommodation paper has been put out and the proceeds used, 1t is alleged, to float a million dollar lumber corporation known as the F. E. Creelman Lumber and Manufactuyng company of New Or leans. A fight { 10 be made in the courts, if necessary, to prevent the John M. Smith Lumber company being saddled with the payment of these notes. If successfully re- sisted, it is claimed. the company will be in position to continue business.
 New Orleans, February 14.-Announce- nent of the formation of the F. F. Creel- man Lumber and Manufacturing company with a capital of S1,OOOOOO. was made in November. Headquarters were established at New orleans, and 1t was said at the time that the company would be the largest hardwood concern in the United States with a combined output of 10000 GOO feet q year. A number of companies were merged Into the new corporation The Florida Lumber company of Montgomery with 2l,OOo acres of timber lands in Ala bama and five mills; the F. E. Creelman Lumber company of Cairo, Ills. with yards at Cairo and mills at Baton Rouge; the Krotz Manufacturing company at Melville La.. with S,0O0 acres of timber lands and modern mills. and the Mel vile Box and Lumber company at Mel vile with 10000 acres of land and mod ern mills. Chicago and New York capi- talists make up the list of directors. F. F. Creelman of Chicago is the manager of the company

President Gives Up Fight.

This senator expressed the decided opin- ion that the President had given up the fight for legislation that counts. and had been won over to the side of railroad sen ators.
 Over on the House side, while members of the interstate commerce commission did not care to be quoted as to the pro posed action of the Senate, most of them were emphatic to express their purpose not to accept any Senate amendment hav- ing for it's object the defeat of the car dinal principles of the Hepburn bill. There Is said to be no doubt that Chairman Hep burn will resist such an amendment and will be seconded by most of the republican members of the committee. This would create deadlock between the House and the Senate.

Want Less Radical Legislation.

On the other hand. Senators Aldrich, Foraker, Elkins, Kean and Crane, the leaders of the faction demanding less radical legislation, insist they have enough votes in the committee to amend the bill They say nevertheless that they do not purpose to substitute a measure for the House bill, nor to adopt an amend ment which would delay an order from the commission rom becoming effective
 Under the Hepburn bill it is provided that an order of the commission shall go into effect within thirty days. They say that while it is not contemplated that a law shall be passed which shall take away the right of common carriers to apply for an injunction on the ground that the rate fixed is confiscatory, the thirty-day provision will have the effect of forcing injunctions as this limited time will moi permit of review that would determine whether the order Is conficatory.
 These senators are contending for an amendment that would correct what they term an injustice, but insist that they

Richardson Explains Situation.

Representative Richardson of Alabama, who is member of the interstate com merce committee, and who has much to do with the framing of the Hepburn bill, says the reported basis of compromise Is the insertion of a provision more explicitly providing for an appeal to the courts. "In doing this" says Judge Richardson, they necessarily provide most doubtful restric- tion upon the operations of the rate pre- scribed by the commission The House bill makes ample provision for an appeal to be taken to the courts similar to the rights that every citizen or corporation has in the matter of appeal. The restrictions stop the operation of the rate until the court passes upon 1t. The Hepburn bill keeps the rate in question until the rate fixed by the commission is passed upon by the courts. The effect of such an amendment as is proposed in the Senate carries us back to the chief complaint under the old law, which is that if the rate Is stopped the same indefinite delay of perhaps five or six years will take place while the case is awaiting trial With the railroad rate in effect the railroads naturally have no stimulant to seek an early decision. On the other hand, if the rate fixed by the commission remains in operation, and the railroads consider 1t unjust they have every reason to seek an early decision
 q think I can safely predict that the House will not consent to such an amend ment"

Breach Is Widening.


 In the Senate committee on interstate commerce the line between the faction which advocates the passage of the House bill and the faction contending for the court review feature has been so drawn that all thought of compromise has been abandoned. Nearly a hundred amendments to the House bill are pend ing before the committee and nearly a score of these bear on the Judicial re- view of orders made by the interstate commerce commission.
 If many of these amendments are con- tended for with stubbornness a vote upon the bill itself may be delayed for several days despite the agreement in committee that vote shall be taken Friday. It is not improbable that both factions may be willing to transfer the contest to the floor of the Senate, and that no roll call will be had in the committee. If out ward appearances may be believed in the face of the manipulations to corner votes the Hepburn bill cannot be taken from the committee by d majority vote This is not conceded by Senators Deliver and Clapp, although they admitted today that they have not a majority of the commit tee votes corralled for the House bill in it's present form. They asserted, how ever, that they will not accept an amend ment of any character, specifically pro- viding for judicial review of the orders of the commission, and that they will bring out minority report if a majority of the committee cannot be secured

OLD AGE.
DEPENDS NOT UPON YEARS, BUT
UPON VITAL FORCE

I'm Famyllc lately there has been
a good deal of discussion in regard To
old people Some AT nny years call
themselves old, and really appear so,
while Others at seventy years seem ac-
tive, vigorous and young.
IL Is not years, but il is loss Of vital
force that makes person old. Weak
ened digestion, thin blood and poor
circulation soon start functional pow
ers and vitality on the wane, and then
the symptoms Of old age quickly APP
pear.
our well known druggists, Mr..
Crute, of II. &. Crute ~ Co., says
"that old feeling may be warded of,
and we wish every person in Farm
Vile who feels old, whether they are
so i'm years or not, would try the great
discovery, NinOl. We know that ii
has vital principles which will in a
natur manner strengthen digestion,
send rich, red blood cOursing through
the veins, and give new life and
strength 10 every organ of the body,
and this is what makes the old feel
young agan.
Mrs. III. w. Avery says:

need Of tonic, something to strength
en- and build me up. For some time
have been taking NinOl, and | have
found that il brings yig0r and renew

Ninol repairs worn tissues, checks

CHAPTER VII.

Some Inner Mysteries Are ~Expounded.
The hosts of Israel had been forced
to tarry for the winter on the banks
OF the Missouri. A few we're on the
east side at Council Bluffs on the land
OF the Pottawattamie Indians. Across
the river on the land of the Omahas
the greater part of the force had set
tied at what was known as Winter
Quarters. Here in huts of logs, turf,
and other primitive materials, their
town had been laid out with streets
and obyways, a large council-house, a
mill, a stockade, and blockhouses. The
Indians had received them with great
friendliness. feeling with them a ON
nor cause Of grievance, since the
heavy hand of the Gentle had pushed
them also to this bleak frontier.
To this settlement early in Novem-
Der came the last train from Nauvoo,

leaped from the van of this train a
very earnest young man, who had at
once sought an audience with Brigham
Young and certain other members of
the Twelve who had CHANGED to be
present at the trains arrival; and
how, being closeted with these, he
had eagerly inquired If it might not
be the will of the Lord that they
should go no farther into the wilder
ness. but stand their ground and give
battle to the Gentiles forthwith. He
made the proposal as one who had a
fawless faith that the God of Battles
would be with them, and he appeared
to believe that something might be
done that very day to force the mat.
ter to an issue. When he had made
his proposal, he waited in a modest
attitude to hear their views Of it. To
his chagrin, all but two of those who
had listened laughed. One of these
two, Bishop Snow-a man of holy
aspect whom the Church Poet had
