is THERE A WHEAT cLlQUE7
state Railroad Commission Suspects
Railroads Aid Alleged
Combine.

Combine.
Olympia, Wash, Nov. 20.-The state
railroad commission Is cunning" for a
suspected combine of railroads and
warehousemen that Is said to be at
tempting to bar out independent wheat
buyers in eastern Washington, and an
nouncement Is made at the commission
offices that the commission will keep
busy on the work until the combine, ii
In fact, the commission is rather in
clined to force warehousemen out of
the business of buying grain and into
strictly warehouse business.
What gives ground for the belief
there is such collision between the
fact that this year the warehousemen
adopted new and peculiar form of re-
ceipt, and at the same time the rail-
roads adopted rule not to supply cars
to independent buyers unless the same
were ordered through some warehouse
man.
Heretofore warehouse receipts given
for wheat simply receipted for GER
tain number of sacks and bushels of
grain to be delivered on surrender of
the receipt and payment of charges
This year the receipt reads that the
wheat was to be delivered lin the order
in which cars are received"
Immediately following the protest of
the grain growers against this form OF
receipt came the complaint from indie
pendent buyers that the railroads
would not supply them with cars.
The commission promptly investi
gated the latter report and was at first
positively informed by railroad officials
there was no such rule, and if any
agent had enforced such rule he had
done so without authority
The commission then made further
investigation and found there was this
discrimination and again demanded an
explanation from the railroads. Then
the roads admitted there IS such a rule
and now the roads are defending 1t as
proper and fair.

THE PENALTY OF ovERWoRK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation. but day of toll should not have It's penalty of pain. Why is 1t. then, you ask, that baekache SO often follows7 It Is because the modern tendency Is 10 overwork. to tear 4own faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs. and more especially upon the kidneys. which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison
 The heavy tax Of overvork-the strain upon the back that is SO com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fan in their work. and there is d double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system. and the Kidneys themselves begin to break down

ALL BUT ONE DEAF.
Possible Explanation of Auto Acci-

Possible Explanation of Auto Acci-
 dent at Great Harrington.
 BRISTOL, Conn.,, Aug. 19-News was received here of the catastrophe at Ashley Falls. Mass, resulting in the death of Charles J. Root, his mother. Mrs. Joel H. Root, and her sister, Miss Candace Roberts, and probable fatal injuring of MT. Roots sister, Miss Mary Root, and his niece, Catherine Root.
 All the members of the party with the exception of the little girl were deaf, and 1t is thought that the ap- proach of the train may not have been known to them for that reason. Only one brother, Theodore c. Root, is left here. He is the father of Miss Cath erine, and he and his wife are almost prostrated with grief. Mir. Charles J. Root was about forty-five years old. Mrs. J. H. Root was about sixty-seven years old, and her sister, Miss Rob- erts, two years younger. All were very prominent in Bristol, being of Reyolu- tionary stock, and the tragedy has cast gloom over the whole place.
 Miss Root is we'll known about the state through her writings for the Daughters of the American Revolution, of which society she was member. She wrote number of books on old Revolutionary families in the nature of biographical works, and also his- tory of the Catherine Gailord Chapter, D. A. R., of Bristol.

COUNTRY ALL RIGHT.
No Real Reason For Alarm
 Says Leslie M. Shaw.
BUT CITIZENS MUST BE SANE.
If the People Get HystericaI There Is No Telling What Will Hap- pen to Our Present
 Prosperity,

NEW YORK, Aug 19.-Leslie M. Shaw, formerly secretary of the treas. ury, now president of the Carnegie Trust company, authorized the fol- lowing interview on the present finan- cial and industrial conditions:
 "Our farms produce more than $6,- 500,000,000 per annum, and the pros- pect is good for an average crop. Our mines yield more than $1,5O0,00 900 and our forest more than $1,000OO0,- 900. And neither of these sources of wealth has been exhausted. The out put of our factories, in other than food products, is approximately S12,000.- 100000, and no fires have been ex- tinguished. The railways earn more than $2,000,000,O00, and they are all in successful operation. The payrolls of our factories and railways aggregate approximately S3,50O,O00,0OO, and the scale of wages has not been reduced In other words, the real sources of the peoples wealth have not yet been af- fected, and the ability of industrial concerns to pay dividends is not meas ured by the market price of their stocks. Logical reasons for serious conditions are therefore wanting. Psychological reasons are never want ing.
 If judge correctly, the people will have exactly what they expect. If those who have money in the banks withdraw 1t and lock it up, if the banks refuse to grant accommodations and if the consuming public decline to place orders, then we will very soon witness the effects. {:
 Let those who think that times of disaster follow each other at regular intervals bear in mind that this coun- try has never yet experienced period of severe depression that was not traceable to financial or economic agitation or legislation, and usually both.
 ''In 1893 the redemption of green backs in silver instead of gold was openly advocated; the party in power was under promise to remove the pro- tective tariff from our industries, and the free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one was ehampioned by prominent members of both parties. The country might have survived any one of these sources of alarm, but 1t could not survive all three.
 At this time no one questions our financial system. and the tariff will not be touched for at least eighteen months.
 Some check in the speed at which we are going is most desirable and the checking process has probably begun. It will now require fair measure of confidence and courage to prevent un. due retardment in our industries. Capital cannot be forced into activity; but 1t can be forced out of activity. I have never seen the time when uni versal sanity was more essential to our we'll being"
