stimulate Belgian ship owning by the
payment of subsidies The Antwerp
chamber of commerce took the question
up and ordered thorough inyeStiga-
ton and report by its economic, geo
graphical and maritime sections. This
report has now been made and will
not tend to cause regret at the fate
of the ship subsidy in this country
The report declares that the lack Of
Belgian shipping lies to some extent
in the Indifference of the Belgian peo-
pie to that branch of industry. They
have other things to do which they
prefer. The successful ship owning
countries are STEPPED in sea faring
tradition, not in subsidies. England and
Germany, with the most splendid fleets,
are not subsidized to an important ex-
tent, while France, Spain and Italy,
which have multiplied laws and sub
sides in behalf of the shipping indus
try witness a langushing merchant
fleet. The report declares that the
registry of the carrying vessel has
nothing whatever to do with the sale
of the goods it carries, and there is
accordingly no more reason for pro-
noting a shipping industry than any
other industry. So long as other ma
tions can carry OH this industry cheap
er IMAM tHey, lhe antwerp investigators
believe it would be inadvisable to Grip
pie Belgian industries with the artificial
support of Belgian fleet to do what
would otherwise be well done with
out this expense. The Belgians would
not consider it logical to give home
industries an advantage by protective
tariff and then tax that advantage out
Of them to support a merchant marine
which by reason of the protection could
not operate as cheaply as that of other
countries. This report deals only with
commercial considerations, and it de-
elares the subsidy commercially an
justfiable, The military aspect of the
case has no bearing there, for the rea-

THE PuBLIC's INTERESTS.

The people Of the United States note
with pleasure their recognition as par
ties at interest in the current contro-
yersy between the western railroads
and their trainmen. An apparent dead
lock has been reaclId between the
trainmen and their employers, but the
railroads are asking for arbitration ana
the head of the trainmen's organization
says: I'VE are not unmindful of the
public's right in the matter and we are
not going TO do anything hastily"
As a matter of fact, neither railroads
nor trainmen would be the heaviest inn
mediate losers by a railroad strike.
With business already hampered by
congested traffic a strike would cause
untold loss and inconvenience through
out the west. Public opinion would be
sure to react with telling force upon
the interests responsible. 1t will be
for the good of all concerned If the
mediation of the Interstate commerce
commission and the department of
commerce and labor results in settle
ment without useless and wasteful in

DRY FARMING.

The Nebraska experiment station has
issued its first official bulletin on the
results of the dry farming" expert
ments at the North Platte sub-station
The work at the station has now con-
tinued through three cropping seasons,
not long enough to produce results
from which to draw general conclu-
sisns, yet long enough to give much of
interest TO report. By tilling the soil
two years for one crop, that is, tilling
without cropping one season in order
TO save the rainfall of two seasons for
one crop, such results as thirty to forty
bushels of corn were obtained on the
high table lands of the south part of
the North Platte farm 1t may be
doubted whether farming requiring
double labor as this does will soon be
commercially profitable, but there is
no doubt of the ultimate value of the
system. OF more immediate import
ance We're the experiments with hay
and pasture grasses, such as bronze
grass and alfalfa, both of which were
grown with such success as to promise
well for dairying in that region. The
station has taken an interest moreover,
in the dissemination of seeds of crop
varieties best adapted to semi arid cen
ditions, an immensely practical policy.

esting throughout. 1t viii be even

wELLMAN's QUEST.

After one false start Walter Wellman
announces that his balloon trip to the
north pole is not to be delayed past
next August. We shall be permitted in
the dog days to cool our thoughts If
not our bodies by visionary flights of
fancy to this visionary fight of man.
Enthusiasm for Mr. Wellmans trip or
confidence in his plans may suffer some
what from the fact that advertising pur-
poses enter largely into the enterprise.
Should he reach the pole. either just
under or just above the United States
flag which he will hang from that long
sought staff will go the pennant of the
newspaper whose name is TO profit from
the undertaking This is hardly a fair
criticism, however. Public taste has
not yet risen to support nrany excellent
enterprises directly. The great pianist
tours America to advertise a make OF
piano for poor public support of high
grade music makes the tour otherwise
Improbable. Dan Patch is a good goer
IL he does not make Ii his main
business to advertise a stock food.
To what end. aside from personal or
business advertising. do men risk their
lives 10 reach the desolate spot where
latitude ceases and all longitudes meet
AS we'll ask Why men try to run 100
yards in eight seconds or fast longer
or play the piano longer at stretch
than ever man did before. There are
some possibilities of new scientific
knowledge 10 flow from nearer APP

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is indamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

100000 ON WORLD
YACHTING TRIP
Thompson to Convert Liner and
Entertain Friends.

NEW YORK, Oct. Intercepted
at sea while en- route to Galveston
from England the Hogan Line
steamer Mineola, of 500 tons, has
been ordered to this port to fit out
for the most unusual yachting" trip
on record.
Colonel Robert NJ. Thompson, f.
nancier, retired naval officer and
lawyer, has chartered the Mineola to
take fifteen friends, including Lord
Brassey and Admiral Sir Charles
Beresford, if he can be relieved of
his command of the British Mediter-
ranean squadron on a nine month S
trip around the world at an expense
of 100000
The Mineola will arrive here Sat-
urday and will Immediately be turn
ed into a yacht. Among the changes
will be the making of ballroom 100
feet long and wide as the ship.
Col Thompson engaged the
Mineola because he wanted to enter
tain on a more lavish scale than was
possible on the biggest steam yacht
available.

MUCH CONCERN FELT.
Ordinary Methods for Treating Ca
tarrh Prove Unsuccessful.

Recent statistics showing an in
crease in catarrh have shaken the
confidence of medical men in the US
ual prescriptions to safeguard health
against the ravages of this disease.
When stomach dosing proved in
effective, it was natural to look for
some other treatment, and it is be-
Iieved that in Hyomei an absolute
cure for all catarrhal troubles has at
last been found. Breathed through
neat pocket inhaler, it's healing medi-
cation reaches every spot where there
are catarrhal germs, destroys them,
prevents their future growth, and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane so that relief is felt almost in
stantly, while lasting cure is practi-
cally sure to follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $100, and is sold by Dodson's
Pharmacy under an absolute agree
ment to refund the money if it does
not give satisfaction. 1t is the only
cure for catarrh that has ever been
sold under a guarantee to cost moth
ing unless it cures, but Dodson's
Pharmacy has so much faith in its
power that they are willing to take
the risk, so if Hyomei does not help
you, there will not be a penny's ex-
pense Get an outfit at once on this

Union OF CHURCH WILL
COME BEFORE MEETING
National Body to Assemble
In Cleveland.
TO DISCUSS AFFAIRS OF CHURCH
Projected Consolidation of COngrega-
tiOnaIiStS, United Brethren and
Methodist PrOteStdntS May
Be Brought About.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, October T.
(SpeciaD With the projected union
of the Congregationalists the United
Brethren and the Methodist Protest
ants as the principal matter to be de-
cided, the triennial national council
of the Congregationalist churches as
sembles in Cleveland tomorrow. Hun
dreds of clergy and lay delegates from
all sections of the country are here
to take part in the deliberations of
the council and the six affiliated ben
evolent and missionary organizations.
Preliminary sessions of the nat
ional council were held today, during
which organization was affected, re-
ports of committees heard, the coun-
Gil welcomed to Cleveland and an adj
dress made by the retiring moderator,
the Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN., of
Columbus.
The program adopted is to have the
sessions of the national council con-
tinue through ten days, allowing the
other organizations such time as may
be necessary to complete their bust
ness.
Beginning Wednesday morning and
continuing until Friday noon, the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions will hold its annual
meeting. Friday afternoon and even
ing the national council will have
sessions. On Saturday, the annual
reports of the Sunday school and pub
fishing society, the educational union
and the church building society will
be heard.
Sunday afternoon a mass meeting
for the wage-earners of Cleveland
will be held and in the evening prom
inent clergymen from all over the
country will join in an evangelistic
service. The Rev. DR.. Francis E.
Clark, founder of Christian Endeavor;
the Rev. Dr. w. J. lawson, of the
Evangelistic committee, and the Rev.
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, of Ply
mouth church, Brooklyn, will be
among the speakers.
On Monday, and Tuesday until noon
the annual meeting of the American
Missionary Society will be held to
be Immediately followed by that of
the Home Missionary society,
which will close with the afternoon
= session of October Is.
The remainder of the time, to the
close of the series of meetings on
the evening of October II, will be
occupied by the national council, the
most important meeting being that
of the evening of October 16, when
the matter of church union will come
up. Final action on the matter may
not be reached until the following
day.
Despite the apparent majority
opinion favoring the consolidation, a
number of the strongest Congrega-
tional churches have gone on record
as being unalterably opposed to the
project and have virtually filed no
tice that should the union be effected
they will withdraw from the national
body and continue their work on an
independent basis.
