FREIGHT RATE KlNDEt AGAIN.
Interstate Commerce Commission Asks
for Further Evidence.

Denyer.-Asked by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to forward to
that body any further evidence ne
might have secured relating to the un-
Just discrimination against Denver IN
the matter of freight rates, George >.
Kindel has sent facts and figures reiat-
ing to four cases, showing plainly, IN
his opinion, the discrimination al
legged. y,
He cites the case of william "
Thascher. who established a 1obbinS
house for boots and shoes in Denver
and is contemplating moving to Ore
ron because of the diScriminatiVe
freights against him in his line. MT.
Kindel finds that the rate on rubber
boots and shoes from Boston to Den
yer, all rail. is s2.72. while from Bos-
Gcn to Portland. Oregon, all rail. IL Is
but s1.S5. From Denver to Boise,
Idaho. the rate is S2.40. While from
Portland to the same point 1t is put
sl.5O. showing that Denver suffers Il
fetal handicap on the points IN ques-
ton of $2.27 per hundred weight.
If these same goods are shipped 10
Reno via Denver from Boston. the
freight is s592; whereas. if shipped
from Boston to Portland and back
again to Reno. the freight is but $3.50.
Another case is that of George o.
Miller of Denver, who received ship
ment of books from Portland, for
which the bill of lading gave $l.60
rate, but for which his expense bill
shows he was forced TO pay at the rate
OF SO per hundred weight. This, in the
face of the fact that books shipped
from Portland to any Missouri river
point, would have been paid for at the
rate of s1.5O per hundred weight.
Kindel also cites the cases of j. II.
Caughlin. charging exorbitant rates
against Denver on motorcycles. and OF
II. NJ. Davis, charging excessive over
charge on Photographic materials from
the Mississippi river to Denver. kindel
states that these four men are ready
to sign the complaints which may be
drawn to cover the cases in question.

This Woman Took o.. Williams PInk

How many women-nnd men too

The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results SO fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
% Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth of my

The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in n thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing n train of very
annoying and sometimes pa inful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ.
the tendency is at this pc o d
likely to become active and with n
host of nervous irritations make life n
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
baclaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart.

Denver-Features in the Wright
murder mystery:
February rs, 1907. dead bodies of
Mrs Benjamin C. Wright and her B.
year-old daughter Genevieve found in
the Wright home, S74 South Pearl
street.
BENJAMIN C. Wright. the husband
and father, found in an apparently half
conscious condition. suffering evil
dtvitly from poison of some kind.
Wright taken to county hospital,
where doctors, convinced that the man
was shamming illness, sent him to
police headquarters.
Sweated by Chief of Police Delaney,
Wright confesses that he killed wife
and daughter.
February 81, 1907. chemical analysis
of bodies of Mrs. Wright and daughter
fails to reveal least trace of poison.
Search for clew which would fasten
crime on Wright begins anew.
March 2, 1907, Wright repudiates
confession which he formerly made.
Wright is examined 10y physicians to
determine the extent OF injuries whicn
he is said to have suffered at hands OF
police.
March 3. 1907, Wright is arraigned
II, court, pleads not guilty and is re-
mGnded to Jail for trial.
From that time to this no progress
toward solution of this most mysteri-
Dus of crimes has been made.
All kinds of suggestions as to man
ncr in which victims met their death
have been offered.
Wright himself holds the key to the
mystery. but his lips are sealed.
