General Wood has written a message
concerning the affair, which is salts

ed, and as all readers of the progress
OF England in Egypt. as told byhis-
torians and in poetry by kipling,
these savages, placing small value on
the women of their tribes, use them
frequently as shields in a fight The
women, on the other hand, unused to
having hats taken off for them in ele-
vators and to being treated as a SUI
perior order of being, take their
places beside the men in battle and
fight with the same fanatical frenzy
as their husbands and brothers In
some cases they go about the fields

slaughter that the men have begun
or hacking up the bodies OF the dead.
As General Wood explains, many of
the women were dressed like men
and could not be distinguished from
them. and that some of the fighters
carried their small children in their
arms as shields while they fought
That it would have been impossible
for General Wood to have engaged

Chicago, Nov. 30.-A Washington
special TO- the Chicago. Tribune says:
Once again the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads are under
suspicion by the government Of violat-
ing the anti. trust: law.
Complaints have been received by
the interstate ) commerce commission,
that in spite Of the degree Of the. sd
;preme court dissolving the Northern
Securities company, formed to destroy
competition between the railroad prop
critics named, they have renewed their
combination under a different form
and, as result, constitute a monopoly
in restraint Of trade and commerce.
There is reason to believe these COM
plants will be made the subject of
exhaustive investigation.
When the Investigation will be in
augurated will depend upon the deci-
sion reached by the commission at a
meeting which will be held next. week.
r.. Seeks an Able Lawyer.
Several weeks ago the commission
determined to inquire into the UHarri.
man situation,' which had arisen thru
control by the Union Pacific of the
Southern Pacific and Oregon Short Line
and its acquisition of the. pred
interest in Illinois Central. The sole
cause of delay in. eommenc cement Of this
inquiry was the. finding Of lawyer
well enough equipped in such matters
to arrange many preliminaries which
would make the inquiry a success. No
member of the commission will state
whether anyone has been selected or
not, but it is known several men have
been under consideration and an ap-
pointment shortly will be announced.

were reported. A woman passenger
had her back sprained, and a fireman
had his head cut. ~ :.
When the switch engine was re-

Hunt jumped to save themselves, and
when the collision occurred the engine
bounded back, the throttle was thrown
open, and like a horse with the bit in
it's teeth, it tore madly back toward
the station, utterly beyond control.
A switchman saw the runaway and

TO BREAK UP A COLD.

An eminent authority on lung
trouble. who effected many re-
markable cures in his camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods
Of Maine, advises the use of the
following formula: Virgin Oil
OF Pine (Purey, one-half ounce;
Gycerine, two q ounces; good
Whisky, one-half pint. Shake well
and take in teaspoonful doses
every four hours. It will break
up a cold in twenty-four hours
and cure any cough that is cur
able. The ingredients are not
expensive, and can be secured
from any good prescription drug
g1st, but great. care should be ex-
erclsed to have them pure, as
there are many adulterated imi-
tations Of this pine tree product,
and these create nausea, and
never effect the desired results.
Virgin Oil Of Pine f(Pure) is !.
put up in half-ounce Walls for
druggists, to dispense in filing
{ prescriptions. Each vial is secure
~ sealed In. a. round wooden case
with engraved. wrapper, with the
mamie Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure) plainly printed there
on. To, avoid substitution, it is
hest that the ingredients be pur-
chased separately and the mix
tnre prepared at home.
