THE SANTA FE GAVE A BONUS.
Now the Road Is Charged With Re-
batting to Garden City Plant.

Chica go, June 14.-Charges that the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
granted $4,000 in rebates to the United
States Sugar and Land company of Car
den City, Kan, are under investigation
by the federal grand jury here. This
concern owns a beet sugar plant and
the government alleges that the con-
cession was made in the freight rate on
the materials of which the plant was
constructed. w. B. Jansen, fourth vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe. did not deny last night that
the sugar company had been granted a
bonus to locate on the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe in Kansas. This the govern
ment views as a device to grant re-
bate In speaking of the case, Mr.. jan
sen said:
1.-The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
company has nothing to conceal in this
matter. Before the plant was estab-
Iished it was a question whether sugar
beets could be grown successfully in the
Arkansas river valley. The company
was willing to build the plant if it could
get the proper encouragement Bonuses
were offered from several sources and
the Atcllison, Topeka & Santa Fe was
asked to give towards the establishment
of the enterprise"

LIGHTNING ROD swINDLERs.
An Old Graft With Few Changes
Turns Up at Fort Scott.

Fort Scott, June 14.-David Ems
minger in company with a number
of other men in this section of the
state is trying to stop payment on
notes he gave for lightning rods. They
seem to have been fiimfiammed on an
entirely new deal in that old flimfiam
game. The deal happened some time
ago but now the suits on the notes
have come up and they are trying to
prevent their collection.
A man came to Ensminger'S house
and represented himself an agent
for an insurance company. He also
sold lightning rods. These he put up
and insured the barn or house. In the
case of Mr.. Ensminger it was the barn.
He signed a contract to put up the
lightning rod and insure the barn for
a very small sum of money, promising
to board that sum out. He said it
was necessary to do this, because he
wanted to get contracts with Ensmin-
gers neighbors and he wanted to point
out to them the'work he had done at
Ensminger's.
Mr. Ensminger, seeing an oppor-
tunity to get his barn insured and wir-
ed or rodded, as the agents say--made
the contract. The contract embodied
all the agreements they had entered
into and everything seemed to be sat
isfactory. The man went away and
another man came in his place, ex-
amined the contract, tore it up and
then asked Mr. Ensminger to sign
note for the sum. This he did, think
ing it was the same as the contract.
The note turns up in the hands of an
innocent" third party and can be col
lected. Mr.. Ensminger Is fighting the
collection of the note.

the bond election, and in the meantime
sentiment here is rapidly crystalizing
in favor of the bonds.
That electric railway line would
have had a wonderful patronage yes

building in Americas was destroyed by
fire. Sometimes one will burn little,
but is never destroyed
1t is reported that another handsom g
dwelling will be erected on Jackson
street, close in, and made ready for
occupancy this spring.
The Lyceum attraction dated for
Friday night is said to be an excellent
one, and doubtless it will be much en-
joyed by large audience.
The Passion Play will be presented
at the opera house Wednesday night in
a series of moving pictures, which are
said to be unusually good.
The last shed remaining on Lamar
street was removed yesterday, and the
appearance of that street is thus
| changed very considerably.

VALUE OF FINGERS.

What the Various Countries of Eu-
rope Allow For Their Loss.
The different fingers are far from
having the same value in the eyes Of
the law with reference to their func-
tional utilization. Much the most inn
portant is the thumb, for without it
prehension would be very imperfect.
The hand is no longer pinchers, but
merely claw, when deprived of the
thumb. 1t may be estimated that the
thumb represents fully a third of the
total value of the hand, The French
courts allow 10 to 30 per cent value
for the right hand and 10 to 10 for
the left The Austrian schedule gives
from 10 per cent for the left to 25 per
and % per cent and even as high as
1873 per cent has been awarded. The
percentage is based on 100 as the total
Industrial value of the hand previous
to the accident, a loss of 80 per cent
representing half of the value, etc.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10
to 10 per cent in Austria, I6 to 20 per
cent in Germany, 10 per cent for the
left and 20 per cent for the right by
Italian courts The French allow 10
per cent.
The middle finger is of much more
importance than the index, states DR..
Meiguan, whom we are citing and who
is no small authority, for great loss
of force is observed in the hand when
| the finger is amputated. Yet almost
all the authorities ascribe less impor-
lance to it than the index. The Italian
law allows 5 per cent, the Austrian
to 10 per cent.
The ring finger is the Ieasttimportant.
Its total loss often does not cause in
capacity. The Austrian tariff assimi-
| lates this finger to the middle one. The
Italian law is liberal, with 8 per cent.
| The French and German tribunals Of
| ten refuse indemnity, considering the
| incapacity resulting from the loss as
very slight.
The little finger may be compared to
the ring, except in tbs professions in
which it serves as a point of support
for the hand. 1t may be remarked here
that the artist has not been taken into
consideration in these cases-Phfladel.

Millions Spent 10

Oleanest Manufacturing Process Is
That Of An American Brewery.

We regard beer as a food and the
business of brewing beer one OF our
most important industries When we
tell our readers that without exception
there is no other brewery in the world
SO absolutely clean in it's process of
manufacture as PabSt, we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions. The
monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee
represents an outlay of millions Of
dollars and many of those millions
have been expended to make the PabSt
exclusive process absolutely clean.
Pabst Beer stands alone today, the only

Eliminating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in
water to steFilize them. Pabst boils
his brew in closed kettles and thus
sterilizes it. From there it passes
through sterilized pipes to sterllized
dramatically sealed tanks where it
is fermentcd. Then through more
sterilized pipes it goes to sterilized
and when bottled it is pasteurized.
throughout the entire process it never
is touched by human hands and comes
in contact only with sterilized air.
This process Of manufacture IS the
exclusive Pabst method 1T is one rea-
son for the always the same, always
the best reputation Of Pabst Beer.
The cleanest beer and the richest
beer, Pabst Beer has no equal as a

COMPANY ASKS FOR . CHARTER
For Macon. Americus and Albany
Electric Rv.

Application for charter for the Macon
Americas & Albany Electric Railway
was made yesterday. This has been
delayed because it was necessary to
name the streets in cities on which it
would run. All details are now COM
pleted.
The route from Macon to Albany is
now practically settled.
The surveying parties from each end
Of the line have met, and the prelimi-
nary survey concluded. 1t is now only
necessary to drive the stakes to show
the contractors where the rails are to
be laid.
The people along the line are en-
thusiastic over the prospects of troll
ley route to Macon.
Amerlcus gave the company every
thing they asked for and without COM
pensation. Other towns along the line
did equally as well and in nearly every
instance there has been no difficulty in
securing right of way through land.
The work of construction on the line
from Macon to Atlanta will begin in
a short while.

SUNDAY BLAZE IN a BARNARD
Damage Done Barn On MIR. Hodgs S
Premises.

The large new barn ON the premises
of Mr.. Brown Hodges, on Reese Park
caught fire Sunday afternoon and the
entire roof was enveloped ere the de-
partment reached the scene, AS the
burning barn was in close proximity
to half dozen of the handsomest
dwellings in Americas the fire attracted
considerable attention and hundreds
of people soon assembled there. The
flames were confined to the second
floor, and $500 will probably coyer the
damage to the building. Several small
boys were playing in the barn an hour
or two before the fire started, and a
loose match may have been dropped
by one of them.

MEAT SHIPMENTS NOW BARRED
Under Certain RuIinge OF the Inspe
Ction Laws.

Under the new pure food laws south
Georgia farmers who have been ship
ping meat out of the state are debarred
from doing it further, unless their hogs
were inspected before being killed.
Several farmers about Americus are
thus up against it. One peculiar fea-
ture of the meat law is that farmer
who raises and kills his own hogs and
brings them in for sale in his private
conveyance is not subject to the rigid
rules and regulations applied to meat
shipped in by rail. A farmer or any one
else who ships meat by rail is
subjectsto the same rules and regu-
lations as a regular packing house,
but he can send his products into
another state without let or hind
rance provided they are sent in his pri-
vate conveyance.

CATARRH GROWING Less.
Que to the Use OF Hyomei-cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores
shows that the sale of remedies for ca
tarrh has decreased very much in the
last year. Some medicines which were
formerly bought gross at time are
now purchased in half dozesl los and
are rarely called for,
There is one notable exception to
this decrease in sale, and that is Hy-
omei, This remedy is, in fact, respon-
sibIe for the decrease in sale of catarrh
medicines, as it has made so many
cures of catarrhal troubles that natu-
rally there is much less demand for
remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying differ
ent medicines for catarrh during many
years were induced to begin the use of
Hyomei by DodsOn's Pharmacy guar
antee, that the remedy would cost
nothing unless cured. Much to their
surprise, they found that Hyomei did
what it claimed tif it did not DOdson's
Pharmacy could not sell it under this
guaranteed and they soon become ar
dent advocates of the use of Hyomei.
There is no disagreeble stomach dos
ing with Hyomei; it is used by being
breathed through neat pocket idhaler
The complete outfit costs but one dol
lar, extra bottles, if needed, fifty cents.
With every Hyomei outfit Dodson's
Pharmacy give their personal guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
unless the treatment cures, so that you
run no risk at all in buying this relia-
bic remedy. Is, %, feb 5
