SHOWN. The investigation was duly

such transaction of RockafeIler's big
holding in the Southern Pacific was
made In the report 70 the commission.
Views of the Commission.
Officers OF the commission feel that
the sworn reports are not to be re
sarded as very valuable. II so immense
a transaction as this, which ought to
be indicated in the statement, can be
covered up. The commission requires
each railroad corporation to show its
holdings of securities in other railroad
or Industrial companies, during the
period covered by the report.
The Oregon Short Line has been the
holding company for the Hartman in
tereSts, and as such was reported TO
have held the $50. 600 900 OF Southern Pa
Iihc. apparently. during the entire period
covered by the report There was moth
ing 70 indicate that one-third of that
stock had been outside the control Of
the Oregon Short Line at any time.
The commission has been giving con-
sideraJion 10 the question Of whether
there has been a violation Of law in
making the report.

seized with fainting spell and became
delirious, imagining he was conducting
"A religious service. He denounced I'm

Judge Barnes was member OF Vo-

DoVie was not to 0e censured for some
OF his acts, alleging that the prophet
was insane. II was not until five weeks
ago that DOWie became SO debilitated
that he could not hold his little gather

10 the last and was never attended by
a physician. IL Is believed he died OF
drOpsy and blood disease, with blood

Judge Barnes refused TO say whether

what. He had had enough OF street
corner preaching, SO he established a
tabernacle" In the Tabernacle ne
made no claim to the mantle OF any
prophet He merely advocated faith.
He claimed 10 have some power, but
was only a man. after all.
Tie was not disturbed until he under
took To cure Joy "the laying ON OF
hands" Then the Australians decided
that ne had progressed too Tar for
them. and gain Hc had 20 move on.
He was actually driven out OF AUS
traIia. and landed IN San Francisco iu
1855. and again began To- preach. but
the people gave him very poor "urouT-
agemcur. Several times ne WAS huuteo

chinch bugs, the statement being made that the bugs will kill out these grasses to an extent that nothing else will. It is clear that the acquisition of wings is not the signal for the adults to abandon the companionship of the larvae and pupae, yet they do gradually disappear from among them. It is possible that the disposition to pair does not exist until the individ- ual has reached a certain age be- yond seeming maturity, and that 1t is not until the passion for mating has overcome their gregarious inclination that they are disposed to migrate. Or it may be that the phenomenon may be explained on the supposition that when the pairing season approaches the males scatter out in order to find females with which they are not akin, thus following out natural selection and preventing continual interbreed- ing. Over the northern United States. at least. the injury In cultivated fields is done almost entirely by the young bugs, but in the timothy meadows the damage is due as much, if not more. to the depredations of the adults.

their unconventional but kindly way! quite won Mrs. Johns heart. Bu while heartily approving of John. wife, Mrs. Hubbell and her daughter did not altogether approve of hi: home surroundings, as the following conversation goes to show:
 "Louisy's as good-lookin' a woman as I ever see," observed Mrs. Hubbel to her daughter one evening, as they prepared to retire.
 q declare, Janey," continued Mrs Hubbell, the more I see of how mean and poverty-stricken some things about the house be, the more I won der how Louisy can keep up her sper rits the way she does"
 I've thought of the same thing, ma," said Mrs. Stebb, "and I think all the more of Louisa for not making ex. cuses about her things: I suppose she knows they're the best John can af- ford, and so she acts just as she would if they were the best in the land" "
 So had l." said Mrs. Stebb.
 T declare, I was beat the first time went into the parlor an see how mean an scrimped things was there" Mrs. Hubbell went on; take that faded old carpet, now-it likely was made a present to Louisy by some of her folks, an I suppose she an John thought 'twould save buyin' a new one. and so they put it down, though it don't come up to the wall by a good foot all round, and to think of her hanging up those plates and platters on the wall, because they can't afford to buy pictures enough. It's too bad. how the poor child has had to put up with all the old trumpery," said Mrs. Hubbell, in mild indignation, as she laid her head on the pillow. and hour after hour. while her daughter slum- bered at her side. the old lady lay wide awake. thinking over the indica. tions of her sons poverty that sur. rounded her on every hand, and devis- ing a certain scheme for the better

 Sight seeing and other pleasures made the days fly. and all too quickly. Mrs. Stebb's visit drew to an end As she was packing her trunk on the day previous to her departure. Mrs Hubben revealed to her the scheme which she had devised in the night watches.

HIDDEN DANGERS.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced in the human body, and it $ the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass 1t safely out of the system, to- gether with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of Rn excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and D many of the aches that are commonly attributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- Hons into a main channel that leads 10 the bladder. Tn this way the kid neys pass of more than an ounce of poison every day when in health.
 But 1t does not take much to set The kidneys back. and when they get behind, they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys, causing that dull. heavy aching in the back, and sharp tvinges when stooping or lifting. It .rystallizes in the muscles and joints, and every turn or twist brings keen est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatiea- It brings headache, dizziness, Ianguor. and dis orders of the urine
 Try a good kidney medicine, if you have any of the above symptoms There is nothing else So prompt and srectiTe as Doan's Kidney Pills, and
