The Real
Value

IF you have headache or
neuralgia you want relief;
want it quick. DIR. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills stop the
pain in just a few minutes.
But their real value lies in
the fact that they leave no
bad after effects. They
do not create nausea or
derange the stomach.
Nothing can therefore
take the place of Anti
Pain Pills for the relief Of
headache or other pain.
"Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills do all that
Is claimed for them in curing head
ache and neuralgia. I was in Farm
ington and / had a fearful headache;
the gentleman of the house said, Take
one of my wife'S Pain PMS, ana l ola,
and in less than one-hah hour I felt
as well as ever. l asked the name or
these and he said Or. Miles Anti Pain
Pills I purchased a box, and told my
something to cure headache. My three
daughters also used them. A thous-
and thanks for such a remedy"

modities thus excepted from these
class rates among tariff, and tariff
No. 1885 above mentioned, fixed a
rate of Is cents per 100 pounds on
oil from Chicago to East st. Louis and
the tariff herein to before referred, to
which he=Eastern Illinois road was a
party, which is described as a tariff
on 'cfaSes and commodities between
Chicago and East st. Louis and which
also showed the rate on oil to be IS
cents" The court held that it's effect
was to exhibit to the general shipping
public rate that was Is cents on oil
from Whiting to East st. Louis.
The court then recites that on July
Z, 1903, one day after this tariff be-
came effective, the Eastern Illinois
company, apparently recognizing that
the effect OF this tariff was to nullify
the six and a quarter cent rate shown
by its schedule No. 8, the IS effective
in October, 1895, issued what it de-
nominated amendment No. to
tariff No. 1885," that being the
Eastern Illinois class tariff of Sep
TENDER, 1895, which had fixed a rate
of Is cents per 100 pounds on oil
from Chicago to East st. Louis, and
which was embraced within the gen.
eral class tariff referred to. This
amendment purpoted to cancel the
6 IA cents Whiting-East st. Louis
rate shown on the tariff filed with the
commission in October, 1895, and
named a commodity rate on oil of 6
IA cents per 100 pounds from Chi
cago and Dalton Junction, Ill, to East
ST. Louis. However, this amendment
No. L was not fled with the inter
state commerce commission until
March, 1906. one year after the ex-
piration OF the period covered by the
Indictment, and nearly three years
after its issue.
No PaTIiation.
In view of these facts, the court
held that the Eastern Illinois situa-
ton could not serve the purpose of
excusins or palliating the accepting
by the defendant of the unlawful Al
ton six cent rate. The court decision
reviews its action in reviewing what
corporations held the stock of the de.
PENDANT Standard Oil company of In
diana. This demonstrated that a very
large proportion of the stock was
held by individual stockholders of the
STANDARD Oil company of New Jersey,
which has outstanding stock OF o
proximately $100,O00.00O The court
discusses at length the various de-
lenses offered by counsel and says:

ard Oil company OF New Jersey.
whose capital is $100,0O0.0OO, is the
real defendant. This is so for the
reason that If a body of men organize
large corporation under the laws OF
one state for the purpose of carrying
on business throughout the United
states and for the accomplishment of
lnat purpose absorb the stock of other
corporations, such corporations so alb
soroed have thenceforward but
nominal existence. They cannot
initiate or execute my independent
business policy"

Placed on the New Jersey Holding Corporation.

which rendered all bills at through
service
One Offense or Many?
The defense had argued that the
Elkins law authorized the prosecu-
ton for but one offense, and main
tanned that there could be a convic-
ton ON only one count.
The court held that the law is vi
Olated every time any transportation
is so transported, as the legal rate
was established by the railroad COM
pany by the Car as the basis. The,
unlawful 6-cent rate was granted and
accepted on that bass.
As to the defendants claim that the
representations by the Alton rate had
misled it into the sincere belief that
the Alton Scent rate had been filed
with the interstate Commerce Com
mission, the court held that as the
law required the carrier to keep the
schedule at its freight office for pub
lie inspection, it was the defendants
duty to ascertain at the railroads Of
flee whether the rate was so fixed,
and for the jury to determine wheth-
er the testimony exhibited the truth
of the transaction. The jury having

Facts in Mitigation.
"The court then discussed the evil
dence offered by the defendant to
the effect that during the period COW
cred by the indictment, the Chicago
and Eastern Railroad company pub
lished an open rate 6 IA cents from
Whiting to East st. Louis. The court
held that this fact should be consid-
cred in mitigation in true, although
inadmissibIe before the jury as to
guilt or innocence, and the court,
after verdict had been given, directed
the production of all schedules by that
railroad. From these it appeared
that the Eastern Illinois, in connec-
ton with other railway companies,
issued and filed with the commerce
commission class tariff and fixed
the rate at Is cents from Chicago to
East st. Louis.
Special Rates.
On October 8, 1905, the Eastern
Illinois company filed with the COM
mission its commodity tariff, fixing
rate of 6 IA cents on oil from Dalton,
H., to East st. Louis, and providing
that out Of this rate a switching
charge of net to exceed So per car
would be, absorbed on shipments from
Whiting, Ind. On July 1, 1903, sixty
days prior to the beginning of the
period covered by the Indictment in
this case, the Eastern Illinois issued
its joint tariff, Nc. 1863. This gen
eT9i class tariff provided that between
Chicago suburban stations including
Whiting, Ind, and East St Louis, H.,
the current rates in effect from Chi
cage, H., should apply, except on
coal, coke, grain and products, IUm-

tation from Chappell, Ind, to St. Louis,

the trial AL counts were withdrawn
from the consideration of the jury on

"On 1,463 counts the verdict was

Prior to the occurrence on which
the prosecution was based, the Chi

cents per 100 pounds and the rate
for like transportation from ChappelI
to st. Louis to be 10 IL cents per 100
