Disputed Brewery Debt Dis
closes Condition in Atchison.
Said to Be Seven Places Where
Beer Is Openly Sold.
AN INDIGNANT CITIZEN
Wants to Close These Places
Because They Won't Pay.
Declares Unless They Settle He
Will Start Trouble.

Atchison, Kan, Oct 12.-EIwyn Blair
is in a dispute with the Ferd Helm
Brewing company, of Kansas City, and
threatens to drive the company from
Atchison unless it makes full payment
on a bill of $500, which he alleges is
due him for moving fixtures soon after
the visit of the attorney general. Mr..
Blair says there are seven places in
Atchison to his positive knowledge,
where Helm beer is sold, and he de-
clares that unless he receives his mon
ey, he will swear to complaints and
have the proprietors arrested. He says
that he has enough evidence to convict
the proprietors of all the places; that
one place has closed up already because
of the threatened arrest-Blair went to
the proprietor, and warned him in adj
vance. This was in the morning, and in
the afternoon the place was closed. Mr..
Blair gave the agent of the company
until 10 o'clock to pay the bill, but the
money was not forthcoming. 1t is pro-
bable that warrants will be issued to-
day. Mr.. Blair says he is not a prohi-
bitionist, and that he IS making the
fight because the company refuses to
pay him. The company offered to COM
promise on 500. but he insists on $500.
which the agents Of the company say is
outrageous.

May Be Fined ST .25O.OOO for Granting
Rebates.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 12.-After be-
ing out 20 minutes, the jury in the case
of the government against the Santa
Fe Railroad company, on trial for re-
batting, in the federal court here yes
terday afternoon brought in a verdict
of guilty against the railroad on all of
the sixty-siX counts of the Indictment
Judge Welborn will announce his de-
cision next Monday. An estimate of
the maximum penalty which may be
imposed is $1.250,000.
The charge against the Santa Fe was
that it had granted rebates from its
regular tariff on shipments of lime by
the Grand Canyon Lime & Cement
company of Arizona. The. defense of
the railroad company was that the re-
bates were Concessions made for al
legged losses in the shipments during
transit The trial began on Septem-
Der 80.
In giving his decision on the law
points which arose during the trial.
Judge Welborn laid down a point of
law which is held to be one of the most
important which has been enunciated
since the interstate commerce commits
sion has existed. He said:
Il hold that the acceptance of the
defendants of less sum of money than
that named in its tariff for the trans
portation of its property described in
the indictment, if there had been such
acceptance, was departure from tho
legal rate, and that it is not justified
IN so doing, nor is it any defense to a
prosecution thereof. that the acts of
the carrier were done in compromise of
claims for loss of property in transit"

THERE is a form of asthma very
prevalent during the autumn months
1t sometimes comes on much like hay
fever. but lasts until the first frost
This form of asthma is likely not to
trouble the patient except in the au-
tumn months
1t seems to be dependent upon a ca
tarrhaI condition of the bronchial tubes
and lungs.
This catarrhal condition renders the
bronchial tubes very susceptible to irri-
tatfons- Limitations of pollen, or dust
of any sort, are always sure to produce
spasmodic condition Of the smaller
bronchiel tubes, which causes difficult
breathing exactly like asthma.
A person with perfectly sound,
healthy mucous membranes of the re-
spiratory organs is not liable to such an
attack. Only those people who have ca
branes have any reason to fear this
form of asthma.
People subject to asthma in the fall
should recognize the cause of their diff
ficulty to be catarrh.
Any remedy that will relieve the ca
tarrhal conditions will often avert the
paroxysm of asthma.
Quite a number of individuals have
taken Peruna for this condition, and
have found by experience that Peruna
does prevent the recurrence of asthma
