cordirg to James Ballantyne, 1.-The book

Scott was able to rise from his bed.

put into his hands in a complete shape
that he did not recollect a single Incl

story. which he had known from boy

no more about the story he had writ

write or even think about writing it,

eminent will undertake the con-
troll of interstate commerce and
in doing so will preempt the
right of the states to deal with
interstate lines running through
their borders on the ground that
the two systems of control would
be incompatible. If this posi-
ton is taken, it will put the
roads in much safer position
and assure them from persecu-
ton at the hands of state poll
ticians who merely want to make
capital out of their unfriendly
attitude toward capital. But
the effort will be federal control
with the hearty consent OF the
railroads themselves. And that
would have been an entirely un,
believeable thing a year ago.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
leass one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
it's stages. and that is catarrh.
Halls catarrn cure is the only posi-
tive cure now known to medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being. a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls catarl h
cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

Dangers of Pneumonia

A cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia which is
so often fatal and even when the
patient has recovered the lungs are
weakened, making them peculiarly
susceptible to the development of
consumption. Foleys Honey and
tar will stop the cough, heal and
strengthen the lungs and prevent
pneumonia. LaGrippe coughs yield
quickly to the wonderful curative
qualities of Foleys Honey an d Tar.

roads were hooting at the posi-
bility of federal rate legislation.
They said and thought that they
were too big to be controlled in
that way. AS for the state legis-
latures there were almost too
insignificant and scattered to be
thought of seriously. Today on
the other hand, the railroads are
not only accepting rate legisla-
ton, but they are clamoring.for

them from the state legislatures
The federal probe applied to the

prising state of rottedness. The
chances are that there will be
more revelations in the same
line. And the big railroad Off
Gals of the country, the expon-
ents of high finance, are turning
yearnlngly to the White House
to be protected-from what?
The result Of their own doings
for a generation past.
President Stickney of the
Great Western, who is in Wash
ington this week has come out
in an interview in which he says
that the control of the federal
government over interstate COM
merce carries with it the emf
nent right over any state legis-
lation affecting the railroads,
and he looks to the general gov
eminent for control and support
possibly as an evil but to his
mind the lesser evil than contin-
ual hammering from the legis-
latures of the several states.
The coming conference of the
railroad presidents with Presi-
dent Roosevelt looks to some
word from the White house that
will put the railroads in better
odor with the public. The roads
are all in a prosperous condition
now. They all have more bust
ness than they can hapdle, and
they want more money to extend
their equipments and make i'm
provements. It is said that
there are 500. 100000 worth of
high class railroad bonds and
securities now in New York that
the underwriters cannot get off
their hands simply because the
public will not buy them in the
present state of the railroad and
legislative situation. It is be-
lieved if the president would
make some announcement in
favor of the roads and would as
sure them of federal protection
against adverse state Legislation
that there would be a renewal of
confidence on the part Of the
public. Doubtless there would
be. But when the president
was approached this week by a
number Of correspondents and
asked for an expression Of views
he said that there was nothing
to say that had not been said
many times before. namely that
any railroad or other Industrial
corporation that conducted it's
business honestly would have
nothing to fear from the admin
istration so long as he was the
head of it. But SO far as at
tempting to protect any corpor-
alton that has been Juggling and
watering stock and making mis-
leading returns of it's earnings
and expenses for the sake of
rigging the market, he had
nothing to say except that he
hoped the law would take it's
course and that the course
would be short and direct.
So the matter awaits the con-
ference between the president
and the railroad officials. It is
probably after that is over that
the roads will be given distinct
assurance that the general gov

Last night at 1890 Sheriff Pomeroy,
accompanied by Deputies Mclean, knut'
sen and Chris Christiansen made sue
cessful raid on Chinese gambling house
situated on Astor street opposite the
postofiice. The sheriff had laid his plans
well and with bis deputies proceeded to
the house AT the above hour and being
refused admittance proceeded to batter
down. door leading TO the gambling
room. He soon gained an entry and the
Cinnamon scampered like rats but the
officers captured All Woh who was ap-
parently the manager Of the place, and
secured the gambling devices which
win be used as evidence and then de-
lstroyed 61 IA
All Woh claimed TO have no connec-
ton with the place and that the owner
was In Portland. He was however plac-
ed in jail from which he was later re-
leased on the bail bond Of Hop Hing
Lung in the sum Of $500.
| Considerable excitement was caused
by the raid and the sherifrs Office and
viciniey for a time was crowded with
ljabbering Chinese and curious whites
The fact that the evidence In the shapt
OF the devices was secured is Of great
Importance and the success Of the RAID
Twas matter Of much favorable com
ment. The Chinese are known TO b
very cunning in violating the law in re
gard to gambling and an entirely sue
cessful raid Is unusual and for that rea
son is appreciated.
