The mollycoddle plan of prescott ing the beef trust that the admins tration attempted has evidently had no effect on the beef barons. Nothing but an indictment under the criminal section of the antitrust law will bring them to time. They are evad- ing the beef inspection law by com- polling the farmers to stand the loss on "cow stuff" that has been thrown out by the inspectors, although the beef trust buyers selected and bought the cows which were appar- ently sound and healthy. The stock growers have taken alarm and are holding back their cattle from mar ket and in consequence the price of beef has been advanced both whole sale and retail. Thus the consumers have to pay the cost of inspection, thanks to the republican majority in control of congress and also the loss on cattle rejected by the inspection.

he headaches and dizzy feelings

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ous. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly. and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of every disease. If you would but note and heed them Backache. twinges of pain when stooping or lifting, head aches, faint spells and urinary dis orders are among the first warnings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are unheeded. there comes a steady. dull. heavy aching in the back and loins. a noticeable weakness and loss of flesh, rheumatic attacks, weakening of the sight.

The perennial question of party
 politics as to who will be the nomi-
 nees of both parties for president has
 received an impetus by the endorse
 ment of Senator Knox by the republi-
 can state convention of Pennsylvania.
 He is evidently brought forward by
 the faction of his party who are de-
 termined to prevent tariff reform. or
 even reciprocity. This insures a squabble over candidates and also on
 the tariff plank in the republican na-
 tional convention that will be difficult to compromise without losing the votes of those republicans who really believe in tariff reform, says our Washington correspondent. The movement in the democratic party for the nomination of a southern man has been very generally taken up in the south and nearly every southern state has presented one or more fav- orite sons for consideration. of whom Senator Daniel of Virginia has so far received most general attention. Such a free. fair and open discussion of who is the most available candidate is a bright omen for victory. There is no doubt that a majority of demo- cEats favor the re-nomination of NIT Bryan. but many who have been his most ardent supporters in other cam pzigas fear that he might again be defeated and they feel that another defeat would De disastrous to him and the party. The question that democrats must settle Is therefore one of expediencT as to who is the most available candidate under all There will be no dis Pats about the platform. for there is general unsnimity on fundamsntal principles and not likely to be much controversy on the stand the party must take o1 the issues that have arisen during the past four years that are open for settlement in the future Dsnocrsts of all shades of admire Nr Bryan. they

UNCLE SAM AS UNpERTAKER.
Buried a Man Who Was Murdered on
 Site of New Post Office.

It is not often that the United States government plays the role of undertaken, but it did so few days ago in Macon, Ga, says the Baltimore American. Two laborers employed on the new post office under construc- tion in that city got into fight last week and one of them was fatally shot. The premises on which the tragedy occurred being government property, the municipal authorities de- clined to remove the body and pre- pare 1t for burial, on the theory that 1t might prove embarrassing sometime in the future to comrlicate local af- fairs with those distinctly federal. The custodian in his quandary tele- graphed to the treasury department, stated the situation and asked for instructions. He was directed to re- move the remains, inter them and send the bill to the department. He followed instructions, and the other day rendered the bill, which amounted to $l14, among the specified items be- ing one of five dollars flor carriage for the widow" Accompanying the bill was a letter narrating in detail the circumstances of the case and containing the following somewhat startling paragraph: T am inclosing voucher for burial of a man who was murdered in the building under my charge in accordance with your in- structions and authority in telegram dated 18th inst" Ono not familiar with the circumstances might feel justified in assuming that the murder was perpetrated under the directions of the treasury. but the officials sol emnly affirm that they were not ac- cessories before the fact and that there was nc conspiracy to assas- sinate one of its employees.

To keep ahead of the rapidly in-
 creasing growth of California fruit shipments the Southern Pacific is now having built $500 of the larg- est, most scientific and most expen- sive refrigerator cars that have ever
 been turned out. A large number of cars of this lot are now in use. They are coming out of the shops at the rate of twenty-five per day and, as the demand increases, additional equipment will be added to the $500. Three thousand cars of vegetables have come eastward from California in the past season. Owing. to the high temperatures in which Califor- mia fruit is loaded, and its extremely perishable nature, the railroad con- pany must give the most perfect ser vice to handle such products success fully. From the first carload of Cali fornia fruit shipped eastward in 1869 the orange, lemon, and grape fruit alone have grown to 30,- 900 carloads, valued in one season as high as s27.000, 0,O00. This has been made possible mainly by the refrig- orator car, in the most improved types of which now being built for the Hartman lines the temperature does not change more than two de- grees in ten days.
