Commerce Commission Reversed.

Another decision of the Supreme Court
bearing upon the interstate commerce.
law was rendered recently as to what
constitutes Illegal pooling of freight traf-
fic By railroads. The case was brought
abou- five years ago by the California
citrus fruit growers association against
the Southern Pacific and Atchison lines
ON the charge that there existed pool
ing arrangement by which the fruit traffic
for the East was apportioned among 153
railroads, and by which joint rates were
fixed. The interstate commerce commits
sion ordered that shippers might decids
on the route for their consignments. But
the railroads refused to obey, and the case
was carried to the higher courts. The
decision reverses the commerce commits
sien's order by affirming the practice OF
joint tariffs. If a railroad agrees to trans
port beyond its own lines, it might choose
by what route the goods shall be for
warded. The court is also of the opinion
that the routing arrangement tended to
break up the practice of rebating. The
court also decided that the roads party
to this agreement are not competing roads
within the meaning of the law. At the
same time that it stopped rebating, the
effect was to end active competition.

cannon ON state Powers.

A strong protest was made by Speaker
Cannon in his address to the Philadelphia
Union League Cub against the present
tendency to seek federal legislation for
evils that the States have power to rem.
edy. He referred particularly to the re-
cent appeal Of Gov. Dawson of West
Virginia to Senator Tillman, saying that
his State was powerless to compel proper
facilities from the railways within its
border. I'VE are all sovereign men," said
the speaker, with the power to assert
our rights, yet sometimes we sit supinely
down and cry to the national government
to help u.s." When they came to him
with such plea. he told them to 60 back,
for they had the necessary power. He
spoke of the 1900 bills introduced in the
present Congress. which 1t would take
ten years of constant work to enact.

: you. th.t Failed Twice.

Miss Adelbert had just returned
from a vacation spent Mt tiny village
on the Maine coast. In recounting her'
experiences she talked somewhat for'
the benefit Of cousin, quiet person,
who was visiting her city relatives TOT
the first time in many years.
There was just one store In the,
place." said Miss Adelbert, land they
kept everything. that is, everything
they had to keep.

clerk If they had Browning. He stare1
at me second, then went Off ana
looked under the counters and on the

Presently he came back and said.
No, miss, we amt got none. We got

Miss Adelbert had to make severai
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the cous-

The historical facts coAcerning mar
riageas an institution are probably only
vaguely known to the majority of peo-
pie, most Of whom would doubtless be
surprised to learn that the institution,
as we know 1t to-day, is less than 500
years old. Histories OF the marriage,

nized in church as religious rite until
the time Of Pope Innocent ILL.,, A. ID.

COLLISION IN OMAHA.
One Man is Killed and Nearly Score
Are Injured.

An Omaha, Neb., special says: In
a binding snow storm Tuesday morn
ing a southbound car on the South
Thirteenth Street line jumped the
track and crashed into a northbound
car on the parallel track, splitting it
in two.
One man, believed to be James Rat
lean, of Fort Worth, Tex, was killed.
Five others were seriously, If not fa-
tally, injured, and about a dozen bad
ly cut or bruised. 1t is supposed thar q
spreading of the rails or an accumu-
lation OF snow on the track caused the
car to jump. The passengers on the
northbound car were hurled in every
direction.
The dead man has been identified
only by name on his key ring. He
was killed instantly, piece of timber
being driven through his brain. The
accident, occurred between / and j
Streets, South Omaha.

STATEHOOD BILL CUT.
SENATE PASSES HALF AND AID.
MiTS OKLAHOMA.
Indian Territory Is Merged Into
New State-ArixOnaa and New Mex
leo Are Left Out-Measure Now
Goes Back to House.

The statehood bill, with Arizona and
New Mexico eliminated, passed the
Senate Friday evening by vote Of 81
to 81. Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory are to be admitted into the Union
as single State,to be known as Okla
homa, under the provisions OF the
emasculated measure, which now goes
back to the House for concurrence or
inconvenience. Thus has ended, as
far as the upper branch of Congress Is
concerned, one of the last of the nota-
BILE fights over making States out Of
territories that ever will agltate the
country.
Previous TO the adoption OF the
amendment removing the Arizona New
Mexico joint statehood feature, the
Foraker amendment providing for the
referendum as to those territories had
been adopted by a vote Of ~ to 20.
All the Democrats with the exception
of Senator Clarke of Arkansas, who
was paired against the position OF his
party, voted to strike from the bill AS
1t came from the House all reference
to Arizona and New Mexico. The Re-
publicans who voted with the Demo
Gratis were Alger and Burrows Of Michi-
gan, Bulkeley Of Connecticut, Carter Of
Montana Flint and Perkins Of Call
forn;a, Foraker of Ohio, Gallinger Of
New Hampshire, Hansbrough Of North
Dakota, Hepburn of Idaho, Scott OF
West Virginia and Spooner Of Wiscon-
sin, twelve In all.
For the second time within the last
two years the Senate refused to follow
the lead set by the House in enacting
statehood legislation recommended by
the President. Last session when the
joint statehood bill was passed by the
Senate 1t provided for the admission OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one
State and Of New Mexico as another,
the Senate striking from the bill at
that time all reference to Arizona. The
bill went back to the House, where 1t
remained until the adjournment Of
Congress without any action being tax
en- upon it.
The bill passed by the Senate goes to
the House, where the insurgents will
make an effort to have the Senate
amendments agreed to without the ref
erence of the bill to committee. They
fear that should the bill reach the COM
mittee on territories it will be kept
there until the end Of this Congress a
year hence, rather than risk a fight
with the Senate. The insurgents claim
that If the House Is given an opportuni-
ty to vote on the Senate amendments
they will be accepted.
The passage Of the bill by the Senate
does not end the fight. Statehood con-
tests are always important and hard
fought Few bills have been before
Congress in recent years which have
awakened the degree of interest shown
in this measure. The debates in both
houses on the subject filled the CALLER
les, and few absentees were recorded
when the votes were taken.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY is DEAD.
Famous Suffrage Leader Passes Away
Mt Rochester

+
The long and eventful life of Susan
B. Anthony closed at 1910 o'clock
Tuesday morning at her home in
Rochester, n. Y. The end came
peacefully. Miss Anthony had been
unconscious for practically twenty
four hours, and her death had been
momentarily expected since Sunday
night. Only her wonderful constitu-
ton kept her alive.
DR.. M. S. Kicker, her attending ply
stefan, said Miss Anthony died of
heart failure induced by double pneu-
monia. She had had serious valvular
heart trouble for the last six or seven
years. Her lungs were practically
clear and the pneumonia had yielded
to treatment. but the weakness of her
heart prevented her recovery.
Mayor j. S. Butler announced that
as mark of respect to the memory
of Miss Anthony the flags of the city
of Rochester will be displayed at half
mast on the day OF the funeral.
Miss -AA.-..nony was taken i'll while
on her way home from the national
suffrage convention in Baltimore She
stopped in New York, where a han
quet was given on Feb. 20 in honor
of her seth birthday, but had an at
tack of neuralgia on the 18th and has
tened home. Pneumonia developed
after her arrival home and on March
both lungs became affected.
After that she became unable to
retain nourishment and showed an
alarming weakness. Last week, how
ever, she seemed to improve and her
friends hoped she was out of danger.
Then came the attack of heart failure
Sunday afternoon, following which
she sank into Inconsistencies. From
that time on almost the only sign Of
life manifested was the feeble pulse
beat and the labored breathing.

Don't be discouraged, no matte


how long or how severely you may have
suffered from nasal catarrh. Ely's
Cream Balm will cure you. 1t is an
honest remedy of thirty years standing,
free from cocaine and mercury. Unlike
the snuffs and powders so widely and
falsely advertised as cures for catarrh.
Ely's Cream Balm does not fool the
sufferer by deadening his nerves and
drying up the secreticns in the nasal
passages. 1t liberates the secretions
and clears the passages, soothes the
sore membranes and brings them back
to health. Nasal catarrh must be treat
ed by direct application to the infiamed
tissues, not by doses taken into the
stomach. A stubborn case Is not cou-
quered in a day, but mass of testi-
mony shows that Ely's Cream Balm
relieves at once, and in short time
completely cures the disease And I'M
like the snuffs and powders it contains
no cocaine, no mercury, nor other in
furious drugs. All druggists, Soc Mall

Mr.. and Mrs. Tennyson E. Brown are
the parents of a fine girl baby, born
March IL.
Mrs. John Hopkins, who stuck fork in

but still has bad-looking hand.
Last week Dudley Doliver went to
watch for fox. Seeing Mr.. Fox, as he
supposed, he fred at him. The animal got
away, and in the dark Dudley could not
follow it. In the morning he tracked the
blood for distance, and then lost the
track. Later in the day Mr.. Mooney
started out on the trail. The fox turned
out to be Mrs. Delivers yellow cat. Both
his legs were broken. Things looked big
when Dudley fired.
