Of these three companies, two Of
which are paralleling and competing
lines, by the same interests and to

ship of the stock by these companies
In the Pacific Express company,
American Refrigerator Transit COM
pany. Rich Hill Coal Mining COM
pany; Western Coal & Mining COM
pany and the Kansas, Missouri Ele-
vator company.
BY this stock ownership these roads
have, in fact, been engaged in BUSH
ness not authorized by their charters
and prohibited by the constitution and
laws of the state. The forfeiture of
the charters of the coal mining COM
panies and of the Kansas, Missouri
Elevator Co., is prayed for the for
fixture of the license Of the Pacific
Express Co., and the American Refrig-
orator Transit Co., to do business In
the state is asked, but the forfeiture

panies is asked for only in case they
should fail 10 discontinue, within a
definite time, these usurpations.

asked by Attorney General Hadley re-
turnable in the supreme court Janu-
airy 20, upon which day the defend
ants must appear and make answer
to the allegations in Hadley's petit
ton.
The petition asking that the merger
of the stock ownership of the roads
be dissolved alleges that the Missouri
Pacific, Iron Mountain and Wabash
roads are corporations created by and
existing under the laws of Missouri;
that the Pacific Express company is
chartered in Nebraska, but licensed to
do business in Missouri; that the
American Refrigerator Transit COM
pany is chartered in Illinois, but IL
censed In Missouri as a common car

Whv Horses Shv,

The horse SHE'D at piece Of white
paper, and the rider tumbled off into
the mud.
ut is we'll for the world" said an
automobilist, smiling, that it is ceas-
ing to use the horse for servant. The
horse is a half blind giant, with the
mind of baby. No wonder, then. that
when we trust out lives in his keeping
he is apt to go back on us.
His main trouble is his eyes. So
poor is the horses sight that he mis-
takes bank of snow for q fierce white
beast. A mud puddle at his feet is a
yawning chasm. A shadow flung across
his path is a black terror seeking his
life hence the weakminded, nearsight-

beside himself with fear. He is no
more to be trusted than a maniac, and,
like a maniac, he sees monster await
ing him at every corner. Yet we get

Tom Corwin's Education.

The father Of Tom Corwin, the ia
nous Kentucky statesman, orator and
wit, felt that he was too poor to make
a scholar Of more than one child Of his
large family, and so the elder brother
Matthias, was kept at school and
Thomas placed at hard work on the
farm. The breaking Of leg proved a
happy incident In the life Of the boy,
as the enforced confinement gave him
time for devotion to his beloved books
and he committed a Latin grammar to
memory. Upon his recovery he again
importuned his father to send him to
school and. meeting a refusal, deliber'
ately broke his leg the second time thai
he might have leisure to study His
heroic determination to learn resulted
in his being placed IN the same institu
ton attended by his brother, where hi

TO REBUILD THE j. N. TEAL.
New Columbia River Boat Will be
Bigger and Better.

The Open River Transportation
company's steamer ]. N. Teal will be
n much more commodious boat wher
repaired than before the disastrou;
fire that wrecked the entire upper
works about 10 days ago, says the
Oregon Daily Journal The insur-
ance has just been adjusted and a
contract for the rebuilding Of the
craft can now be let any time.
The original plans provided for
only a small number of staterooms
and small cabins for the accommoda-
ton of passengers, but the new boat
will be a great improvement in that
respect. Large and elegantly equip
ped rooms and handsomely furnish
ed cabins will make the boat still
more popular with the travelling pub
lie than before and with her accom-
modations doubled she will not have
to turn back the crawds as last sum-
mer when traffic was at its height.
The repairs will be made as quick
ly as possible and the company will
spare neither pains nor money in
making the boat one of the finest and
rxost comfortable passenger boats on
the river. While the Teal was built
along lines that would make her par
ticularly adapted for freight in the
swift waters of the upper Columbia
it has been ascertanei that she will
lose none of these qualities even If
provided with much more spacious
passenger accommodations.
Chief Engineer Kellogg has gone
over the machinery and found that it
was very little damaged by the
flames, The boiler has been tested
and found as good rs new. This will
make 1t much easier to place the boat
in condition for operation again
than If necessary to have new ma
chinery built.
The Teal would have done a great
passenger business last summer had
she been prepared for 1t because she
was one of the favorite boats on the
upper river where traffic is very
heavy during the months of July,
August and September.

How Clouds and Eoas Differ.

Clouds are bodies of moisture evapo-
rated from the earth and again partial.
ly condensed in the upper regions Of
the air Fogs differ from clouds only
in one respectfully come in contact
with the surface Of the earth while
clouds are elevated above our heads
When the surface of the earth Is
warmer than the lower air the vapor of
the earth, being condensed by the chill
air. becomes mist or fog. But when
the lower air is warmer than the earth
the vapor rises through the air and be-
comes cloud. Fog and mist differ in
this respect-that mist is fine rain,
while fog is vapor not sufficiently con-
densed to allow Of its precipitation in
drops

 less to Use.

This is known as Blood -Cleanine Time especially among the older folks. who always take something dur. ing this month to clean the blood of impurities and build it up.
 The following is the recipe as given by a well-known authority, and any. one can prepare it at home:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion one.halt ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces.
 Get these simple ingredients from any good pharmacy and mix by shak. ing well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after meals and at bed. time
 Everybody should take something to help the blood, which becomes impoy, erished and almost sour after the win. ter season, especially those who are subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid. nev and Bladder trouble.
 It is said that one weeks use of this mixture will clear the skin of sores, pimples or boils.
 This is sound, healthy advice. which will be appreciated by many readers.
