Explosion Kills Two Men.

Danville, Va, Special. John J.
and Abram Shelton two first cousins
were killed by an explosion Of a trae-
ton engine being used to thresh
wheat on farm abou. 20 miles from
this city. The cause of the explo-
sion is unknown. The gauge to the
boiler registered about two-thirds full
and as the usual cause For such acci-
dents is that the water in the boiler
becomes too low, it is believed that
the guage must have become stuck in

SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.

"When l drank coffee l often had
sick headaches, nervousness and bill.
iousness much of the time, but when
I went to visit friend l got in the
habit of drinking Postum.
81 gave up coffee entirely, and the
result has been that l have been en-
tirely relieved of all my stomach and
nervous trouble.
My mother was just the same
way. We all drink Postum now and
without coffee in the house for 2
years, we are all well.
"A neighbor of mine, q great cof-
fee drinker, was troubled with pains
in her side for years and was an in
valid. She was not able to do her
work and could not even mend clothes
or do anything at all where she would
have to bend forward. If she tried
to do little hard work she would
get such pains that she would have to
lie down for the rest of the day.
''At last l persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she lid SO, and has used
Postum ever since; the result has
been that she can now do her work,
can sit for whole day and mend and
can sew on the machine and she new
er feels the least bit of pain in her
side, in fact. she has got well, and it
shows coffee was the cause of the
whole trouble.
81 could also tell you about several
other neignbors who have been cured
by quitting coffee and using Postum
in its place" There's a Reason"
Look in pkg. for the famous little
book, The Road to Wellville."

It's very surprising to kiss a girl

The way to have a woman agree

METHODS OF OIL TRUST
Commissioner Of Corporations Smith
Submits TO President Second Of Re-
ports Concerning Operations Of
Standard Oil Company.

Washington, Speeial-Signifcaas
revelations are made public IN re-
port submitted to President Roose-
velt By Herbert Knox Smith, com"
missioner Of corporations. concerning
the operations of the Standard Oil
Company In a previous report the
means and methods OK the Standard
Oil Company we're explained. The
present report sets forth the results
OF these methods and the effect they
have had on the profits of the
Standard Oil Company. IL deals
with profits and prices, showing just
how the manipulation Of the oil IN
| dustry By the Standard has affected
the pocket-Dook of the American
people.
Commissioner Smith says:
"The Standard Oil Company Is -
sponsible for the course of the prices
Of petroleum and its products during
the last p years The Standard has
consistently used its power to raise
the price of oil during the last 10
years, not only absolute, but also
relatively TO the cost Of crude oil"
The Standard has claimed that It
has reduced the price Of Gil; that it
! has been a benefit to the consumer:
and that only Ii great combination
like the Standard could have furnish
cd oil ut the prices that have pre-
vailed.
Each one Of these claims" says
| Commissioner Smith, "is diSproved
by this report Tie increase III an
nucl profits of the Standard frorn
1896 to 1904, was over $27 100000
The report saws:
"The total dividends paid by the
Star|ard from 1892 TO 1905 were
So .9322.904, averaging thus 24.lj
per cent per year. The dividend :
however, were much less than tt"
total earnings. It is substantially
certain that the entire net earnings
Of the Standard in this period were
at least $7o0,000,O00 and possible
much more.
"Tkese enormous profits have been
based on an investment worth at the
time Of its original acquisition no.
more than $75,000,000.''
Commissioner Smith says:
"The following facts are proved
The Standard has not reduced mar
gins during the period in which i
has been responsible for the prices Of
oil. During the last eight years coy,
cred BY this report (1S9S to 1905l il
has raised both prices and margin :
ats domination has not been az
quired or maintained bv its superior
efficiency, but rather by unfair com.
petition and by methods economically
and morally uniustifable. The Star.
dard has superior efficiency in run.
ming its own business; it has an equa
efficiency in destroying the business
of competitors. It keeps for itself
the profits of the first and adds f
these the monopoly profits secured
by the second. It's profits are fal
above the highest possible standard
of reasonable commercial rcturt
and have been steadily increasing
Finally. the history of this great in
dustrv is a history of the persiste,
use of the worst industrial methods

of years have thus dominated til,

The Hague, By Cable.-The gem
e,al opinion expressed here is that the
real peace. conference began Thurs
day sith the initstiye of the Amen
can delegates, who for their speeches
Thursday on arbitration are praised
FOR their determination TO carry a log
cal proposition that Is believed TO be
the most important effort towards the
pacifeatian af the world. Joseph H.
Choate and James Scott, OF the Anne
rican delegation, hofore the special
committee on arbitration reviewed
the American pr proposition dealing with
erbitralion from the standpoint OF
humanity as well as of international
law.
Prof. de Martenz (Russianl de-
clared that the principle of arbitra-
ton now under discussion was pro-
posed b. Russia in 1899. Germany
Great Britain and Mexico in general
supported the American proposition,
DR.. Drago (Argentine) supported the
Argentine proposition.
Mr.. Choate in his speech explained
that tic instructions given TO the
American delegates were to see that
the Judges Of this court be selected
from different countries, and that
they should represent the diff'/ant
systems of law and procedure and the
most important languages Of the
world. the court was to be of such
| i 4 nd Yk
the best and ablcst jurists could ac-
cept appointments thereto. The cause
Of general arbitration as a substitute
for war in the settlement of internal
tional differences has advanced with
leaps GnG bounds since the call Of the
first conference. Nothing more strong
| lv demonstrates the utility of the
great work of that conference than
! the genral resort of nations to ar
| bitration agreements among them
selves assure means of securing JUS
tice and protection.
"Our hope Is to preserve and per-
! petuate the excellent work of the first
conference, carrying it on to its
| logical conclusion. The work of
that conference, however, has not
proved altogether adequate to meet
the progressive demands of nations.
The plan proposed by the United
States,' said Mr.. Choate, "does not
depart from the voluntary court al
ready established. No nation will lie
compelled to come before it, but il
will be open to all who desire TO sct-
tie their differences by peaceful meth
ods.'
The United States proposed that
the expenses of the new court and the
salaries of the judges be borne by the
powers in common. This would make
the court free to whoever appealed
to it. Mr.. Choate proposed that a
suitable committee be appointed to
frame a constitution for and decide
upon the powers and character of the
projected court, saying be thought
it would be we'll to have seventeen
judges instead of fifteen, SO that The
country representation might be
more general. In conclusion Mr.
Choate said:
at is six weeks since this confer:
ence first assembled, and there is Ger.
tainly no time to lose. We have done
much to regulate war and very little
to prevent it. Let US unite on this
great pacific measure and satisfy the
worl'1 that the second peace confer.
ence really desires that in the future
peace and not war be the norma
condition Of civilized nations"
