Yoakum's Railroad Panacea.

To realize in practice a union of the
people and the railroads under the super
vision of the national government is the
essence of the proposal made in an ar
ticle for the July Worlds Work by the
railroad magnate. b. +. Yoakum, chair
man Of the Rock Island board Of direc-
tors. Taking up the different points of
popular agitation. Mr.. Yoakum finds,
first, that the Hepburn anti-rebate act is
effective, Just and wise, and he believes
that all good railroad managers will Co
operate to enforce it. The valuation Of
railroad property, he thinks, would not
be disadvantageOuS to the railroads, but
that it would not have any practical value
in arriving at a fair basis of ratemaking.
As a railroad man he would not oppose
it, ans he does not see how the right of
the government to make such u valuation
can be challenged. He approves Of the
limitation of future security issues under
the eye of the federal government. He
explains that the law should make 1t i'm
possible to gain the profits of railroad
construction more than once, and that in
creasng capital for improvements should
be supervised He believes, further, in
the uniformity of accounts so as to make
the annual reports of the railroads a
basis for public confidence, and he sees no
need of having any mystery about the
railroad business any more than there is
about the accounts of n national bank.
While he does not approve of legalizing
railroad pools, he thinks that traffic as
sociations should be allowed, because all
connecting lines may participate. con-
clusion, he urges that the current Of ex-
listing agitation must be turned into a
safer channel or great harm will be done
to an interests.

sCALY ERUPTION ON BODY.

Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-suf>
fered Ten Years-COmpIetely Cured
by Cuticura.
Small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became SO sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to heal,
but small scaly eruptions appeared. The
itching was so severe that l would
scratch the sores until the blood be-
gan to flow. After I suffered thus
about ten years l made a renewed eff
fort To effect a cure. The eruptions by
this time had appeared on every part
of my body except my face and hands
The best doctor in my native county
and many remedies gave no relief. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair be-
gan to fall out and was rapidly be-
coming bald. A few months after,
having used almost everything else,
thought l would try Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap. After using three
boxes 1 was completely cured, and my
hair was restored, after fourteen years
of suffering and an expenditure Of at
least $50 or $50 in vainly epdeavoring to
find cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Ver-

Strange Ocean Posto flee.

I should like to mention a postoftice
on the ocean, which certainly belongs
to the most primitive in the whole
world, and does not boast a single OFF,
cial.
1t is in the South American CONT
nent, on the coast Of Patagonia. Close
to the edge of the sea is erected a
strong beam, on which Is written post
office" and Joined to it by movable
strong iron chain lies a barrel with a
movable cover. The ships which pass
through the straits send boat to the
coast to take out those letters which
are to be forwarded, and at the same
time put in their own postal matter, the
former being conveyed to the next port,
to be sent ON by means of the usual
post.
In the Torres Straits on one of the
islands belonging to Australia, is a sim
liar post-station, equally primitive and
equally fulfilling it's purpose.-The

Thousands OF persons besieged the
Federal building fully half an hour

entered the structure and fought their

at the entrance to Judge lands court

They wore no uniform, displayed no In,
