Enforcement of the Law.

A few years ago there was loud complaint that the law could not be invoked against wealthy offenders. There is no such complaint now. The course of the department of justice during the last few years has been such as to make it evident that no man stands above the law, that no corpora tion is so wealthy that 1t cannot be held to account. The department of justice has been as prompt to proceed against the wealthiest malefactor whose crime was one of greed and cunning as to proceed against the agi- tator who incites to brutal violence
 Everything that can be done under the existing law. and with the existing slate of public opinion, which so pro- f,undly influences both the courts and

An Old Medicine.

"Ground oyster Shells" said the ply
stefan, "were used as a medicine by
the medieval doctors medicine for
the ricketts, and scrofula."
"How absurd!"
absurd? Not at ALL Oyster shells
contain lime, nitrogen, iron, sulphur,
magnesia, bromide, phosphoric acid and
iodine. Those are all excellent tonics.
You know how hens eat ground oyster
shells and thus produce eggs with good,
thick, strong shells? Well, as the oys-
ter shell powder acts on eggshells so I
have no doubt it acted in the middle
ages on the bending, crumbling bones
Of the rickety, putting strength and
frmness into them. Ground oyster
shells, am convinced, would be good
things for frail children today They
would strengthen the frame, increase
the appetite and have splendid effect
on the teeth" Philadelphia Bulletin.

CAUSE OF CAR SHORTAGE.
Interstate Commerce Commission Has
Filled Report.

=
Washington, jan 4-The causes,
but not the cure, for the car shortage
In the Northwest and consequent coal
famine in North Dakota have been
determined by the members of the in
terstate commerce commission partici-
pating in the recent hearings at Chi
cago and Minneapolis in report made
to President Roosevelt.
ut Is fair Inference" the repor.
says, that the real cause of the coal
scarcity in North Dakota was such an
abundance of westbound traffic at the
Head of the Lakes that cars were not
available at that terminal for carrying
coal to North Dakota-a comparatively
short haul for a low class commod-
ity,"
Referring to the report that the
coal shortage was due to the presence
OF trust or combination between
dealers in coal WAC fixed prices in the
Northwest and refused to sell to "out-
siders" and "irregulars" the report
says:
"The commission has gained indis-
putable proof of an agreement be-
tween coal dealers to maintain prices
and to boycott all who do not so
agree; but there is no evidence justi-
flying the contention that this COM
bination is chargeable with the coal
shortage, nor that the railroads were
party to such conspiracy"

MAY TOTAL FORTY NINE
NUMBER OF DEATHS in ROCK
ISLAND COLLISION NOT DEF.
lNiTELY KNOWN.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. At is still i'm
possible to say exactly how many
persons persisted in the Rock Island
train wreck at Alma, Kan, as a num-
Der of bodies of Mexicans were COM
pletely destroyed by the burning Of
the smoking car. The conductor says
there were seventy-six Mexicans on
the train and it is feared that forty
four Of these we're killed, together
with four passengers, all men, and a
negro train porter, making the total
dead forty-nine.
The Rock Island officials insist that
but thirty persons we're killed and
thirty others seriously injured in the
collision. The officials declare that
the statement attributed to the con-
ductor Of train No. 20 that he had
tickets for, seventy-six Mexicans is a
mistake. They assert that at the most
there were not over thirty-fve Mex
leans aboard the train.
There are twelve seriously injured
in the hospital here. Some of these
may die. Most Of the slightly injured
have already left the city.
The coroner's inquest over the vic
Tins has begun at Alma and John
Lynes, the boy telegraph operator who
is blamed for the collision, was the
principal witness.
The remains of twelve charred and
burned bodies, or what was left Of
them, were brought into Alma and
these were presented to the jury. Most
of them are the remains of Mexicans,
but it is impossible to identify any Of
them. They will be buried at Alma
after they have been viewed by the
coroner's Jury.
