The Doctor Away from Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proved fatal before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum
moned. The right way is to keep at
hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. M
physician can prescribe a better medi
cine for these diseases. By having it
in the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy 1t now; il
may save life. For sale by all drug
gists.

Charged with Assault.

New York, Aug. 28.-With their
faces scratched aud bruised, as evidence
of the rough treatment they received,
two girls giving the names Of Adele
Roberts and Anna Russell, who said they
came here Sunday from Chicago with
theatrical company, we're 10 Coney Isl
and police court to push the charge
against Abraham Brakeman, who they
accused of being one of the men who as
ssuted them in Ocean Parkway, near
Coney Island last night. The girls were
picked up unconscious by two men in an
automobile and taken to the ConeY ISL
and police station. There they said
they had been drugged and attacked by
two men. Their story was that they
had gone to Coney and, finding them
selves followed by two men as they
started home, had called a cab. The
men pursued them in another cab.
On overtaking the girls the strangers
showed deputy sherifs' badges and COM
msnded them to "come along" under
threats. of arrest. They were taken to a
cafe and forced to drink beer. Then the
ride was resumed. Both girls found
themselves weak. They were attacked
by the men and finally thrown out into
the road. They remembered nothing
until they awakened at the police sta
ton. Brakeman, prominent republic
can politician, was arrested on the de-
cription given by the girls and later
positively identified by one of them. He
denied his guilt and said he could prove
an alibi, but was locked up until time
to go to the police court,
The two girls were taken to the Coney
Island court this morning where they
were arraigned on the charge of drunk
euness. They frankly acknowledged that
they had been intoxicated and had been
out for a good time and that the Incl
dents related by them were "fairy
stories" The sentence on them was
suspended, but Brakeman was held in
5000 to await any possible future devel-
Opments.

RATE LAW EXTINCTION.

Judge Pritchard, IN the United States
Circuit Coart, ID long expected opinion,
announced at Asheville, n. O., yester
day in The rate case of the Southera
Railway against the Corporation Com
mission and the attorney general OF North
Carolina, upholds the jurisdiction of hii
court in the issuance OF the recent injunc-
tioHs against state officials.
He decicasS thai the suit is not one
against the state within the meaning Of
the eleventh amendment to the federal
constitution. That amendment holds the
judicial power of the United States shall
not extend to any suit against state by
citizens of another state.
The decision says that a state Iegis-
lature cannot so frame an act as to de-
prive citizen Of a right youehasafed
him by the federal constitution and it
does not possess the power 80 deprive
this court of its jurisdiction, and the
sooner those questions are definitely de-
termined the better it will be for ali part
les concerned"
The decision holds that the Corpora
ton Commission is still charged with
msking rates, the only Limitation upon
its power being "that it shall not make
maximum rate in North Carolina in
excess of q cents per mile. The Cor
pOration Commission and the attorney
general are specially charged With the
duty Of obtaining the enforcement OF

provides heavy penalties and fines for

says, 0that circuit court of the United

Foraker at the present time is the only

Taft. There are others known to be

gentlemen who hope that through some
combination of circumstances they may
themselves be presidential possibilities.
But none of these is actively lighting
the big secretary of war, and none OF
them is likely to take position adverse
to the policies Mr.. Taft has advocated in
his recent speeches. Senator Foraker
alone is criticising Secretary TsfPs ut

men filed in the supeInumerary parts in
way that was far from satisfactory 10
themselves.
l!y trying to prevent Mrs. Shspeley
from reaching him the police aroused the
indignation OF the kiag, who bersted
them roundly. Yesterday Mrs. Shapeley,
an old friend of the king, approached
Edward on the street, wearing a heavy
veil at the time. When she made her
indeptity known Edward greeted her
with expressions o. marked pleasure and
asked for her photograph. Che departed
to get it, and the police scene was enact
ed when she returned.
The first meeting had not impressed
the police, who regarded Mrs. Shspeley's
heavy veil with suspicion. AS she sp,
preached they crowded about the king
and kept elbowing Mrs. Shspeley away.
When she persisted in trying to reach
Edward they finally seized her. 1t was
this net which aroused the kings wrath,
and in warm language he told the ofic-
ious blunderers what he thought of them.

The Thaw Trial

New York. Aug. 2S.-A plea of tenn
porsry insanity from which his client
has fully recovered and so far as possible
an utter absence of the sensstionalism
that marked the trial will be the method
pursued by Martin w. Littleton at the
next trial of Harry X. Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White. That has
been fully decided on by the former
Brooklyn Borough president, who is to
have complete charge of the defense of
the Pittsburg millionaire. Littleton will
not have the trouble with Thaw that
the other attorneys 10 the case have had.
The long weary confinement is having
its effect on his client, and the head
strong man is more amenable to reason
than formerly.
