Attorney Kceler Attempts to Excuse Violation of Law by Pleading Keen Competition-High Omcials
 Ignorant, He Says.

Ignorant, He Says.
 NEW YORK, May 1.-The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway com- pany, through its general counsel, Charles B. Keeler of Chicago, pleaded guilty before Judge Holt in the Unit ed States circuit court here on two indictments recently returned against the road for the granting of rebates in violation of the Elkins anti-rebating law. The court assessed a fine of $10,- GOO on each count pleaded to, or $20,- 900 in all, which Attorney Keeler at once paid.
 The grand jury returned fifteen in- dictments against the Chicago, Mill waukee and St. Paul, charging the granting of rebates on coffee ship ments in favor of the Woolson Spice company, an Ohio corporation, on western shipments from New York to Toledo. After a consultation with United States Attorney Stimson and his assistants, who have been prose- cutting the rebate cases, MT. Keeler ar- ranged to plead guilty to two of the indictments, with the understanding that the remaining counts be dismiss ed.
 In a brief address to the court Attor- ney Keeler attempted to excuse his road and pleaded in extenuation that it had not endeavored or wished to evade the law, but that owing to the spirited competition of other roads minor traffic agents of the company had consented to the granting of re- bates in order to meet the sharp com petition, but without the knowledge of the company's chief executive officials and its attorneys, all of whom, he said, would have instantly advised to the contrary. Attorney Keeler said that the chief officers of his road and it's directors were glad that the existing federal laws would put an end in the future to the granting of rebates and take from the hands of the western shippers the club which they had held over one road as against another when it came to competition on traffic and business.

My attention was called to St. Der nard Extract of Bark, and while taking the first bottle I felt a marked improvement. Today; aft CT having taken ten bottles, I know that I am entirely well, having been cured of a disease that made my life a torture. It has done wonders in my case and I feel that have a new lease on life.
 I shall always cherish the day that I begun using your remark able remedy.

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
Of Seventy-Five Cents.

my little boy, when only an infant
Of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and a light dress Is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. / had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
C%uticura Remedies. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry UP, and in just two weeks from the
day l commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and I
would have gladly paid 500 If I could
not have got it cheaper. l feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,
