Tells How Mflitiamen and Regulars
 Mix fin Camp.
 Washington, Jan. 9.-By vote of 27 to 50 the House in committee of the whole, today, having the army appro- priation bill under consideration, re- fused to strike out an item of $1,000,0o0 for the purpose of paying the expenses of regiments, battalions, squadrons and batteries of the organized militia to participate in such brigade or division encampments as may be established for the field instruction of the troops of the regular army.
 Representative Grosvenor of Ohio en- livened the House by relating the story of the encampment held last summer near his home in Athens, O. He said he had served four years and upward | in the army at time of active war and that with a single exception, he had never seen any regiment, brigade, di- vision battery or squadron manouVer, 1 either in camp, or battlefield upon any of the magnificent plans or detail they undertook to perform at his home. | He then told what happened at the | encampment. He said there was al- ways an irritation and conflict between | farmers sons and merchants clerks of | the regular army. Some trouble hap | pened in Athens and a soldier of the
 regular army was arrested for being drunk and dlsorderly. That night fifty or seventy-five members of the battery to which the prisoner belonged march
 ed up town and into the jail. and as
 they were about to attack a guard of infantry commanded by a young officer. corporal or a sergeant of the Stato | Guard ordered them to halt.
 Fifty or sixty shote were fired and he fell dead in the street. There never was a man punished for anything con- nected with it." said MT. Grosvenor 'The feeble attempt of the local author l ities to punish the men who committed that cold blooded murder was utterly futile, for reasons that I do not care to go into detail at thIs time under the surrounding circumstances"
 He charged that the War Depart ment In addition to the regular off, cers and men, had taken up the cudgel in opposition to the authorities and in opposition to the military of the State. MT Crumpbacked of Indiana asked if there were any colored soldiers at that ancampment.
 Not one." replied MT. Grosvenor. 1 Representative Hay, of Virginia, and Hull of Iowa. also opposed the appro- priation. The House refused to strike out the item.

DISSOLVE MERGER
GOULD SYSTEM ATTACKED IN MIS-
 sOURI COURTS.
Alleged by Attorney General that Wa bash, Missouri Pacific and Iron
 Mountain are Controlled
 by One Man.

Jefferson City. Mo, Jan. 9.---Suits to dissolve the alleged merger of the Wabash, Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Railroad companies and the
 Pacific Express Company American Refrigerator Transit Company, West ern Coal and Mining Company Rich
 Hill Coal Mining Company and Kansas-
 Missouri Elevator Company were filed in the Supreme Court by Attorney Gen eral Had1ey today.
 The petition alleges the stocks of the companies named are owned by the same interests, the Goulds, in violation of the provisions of the Constitution and laws of Missouri.
 Concerning the nature of these suits Attorney General Hadley said
 These suits are brought for the pur- pose of forcing a discontinuance of the ownership of the stock of the Wabash, Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain eompanies, and the control of these three companies, two of which are par alleling and competing lines by the same interests and to force a discon- tinuance of the ownership in the Pa- cifc Express Company, Western Coal and Mining Company and the Kansas Missouri Elevator Company. A By this stock ownership these ronds have, in fact, been engaging in busf- ness not authorized by their charters and prohibited by the Constitution and laws of the State.
 ''The forfeiture of. the charters of the coal mining companies of the Kan
 sas-Missouri Elevator Company is prayed for. the revocation of the li- cense of the Pacific Express Company
 and the American Refrigerator Transit
 Company to do business in the State is asked, but the forfeiture of the char
 ters of the railroad companies is asked
 for only in case they should fail to
 discontinue within definite time these
 usurpations, should the courts so order.
 Illegal practices exist to a greater
 or less extent in the case of number
 of other Missouri roads and other suits
 will be begun as soon as the work in
 my office will permit. These cases
 have been under consideration nearly
 a year, ever since the disclosures in-
 cident to the Gould Ramsey contest for
 control of the Wabash"
 Chief Justice Can't of the Supreme
 Court made quo warranto writs asked
 by Attorney General Hadley returna-
 ble in the Supreme Court on January
 23. upon which day the defendants
 must appear and make answer to the allegations in Hadley's petition.

TO SHORTEN HOURS
VOTE ON LA TOILETTE BILL TO-
 DAY.
Senator Declares That Those Employees Who Protest Against the Meas- ure Are Being COerced by
 Railroad Companies.

Washington, Jan. 9.--In view of the fact that the Senate has agreed to vote at o'clock tomorrow on the bill Him. iting the hours of service of railway employees, considerable time was devot- ed in the Senate today to that measure and an effort was made to add an hour to the beginning of the session tomor- row.
 This effort was not successful and Senator LaFoliette of Wisconsin gave notice that he would move to take up the bill Immediately after routine busi- ness tomorrow. The discussion today was opened by MT. LaFollette. who de- clared that the measure mad received the endorsement of the national organ ization of all classes of railway em- ployes who had been coerced by the railroads to present protests. Senators Deliver and Brandege have offered substitutes and nearly every Senator who has spoken on the meas ure has suggested amendments to the measure. so that there are a large num- Der pending. The vote on these amend ments will be taken before the vote on the bill but there will be no voting un- til o'clock tomorrow.
 In support of his cntention that the railroads had been very busy since the last session In developing opposition to the bill MT. LaFollette today read a set of resolutions, condemning the bill, presented to lodge of railway em- ployes, the name of which he withheld, by E. T. Lamb. Division Superintendent of the Southern Railway. The lodge applied for information on the subject to H. R. Fuller, legislative representa- tive of the Railway Employees National organization and had not endorsed the resolutions.
 long record of accidents was read by MT. LaFollette. showing all the train men involved had been on duty from seventeen to forty-three hours, continuously.
 When the forty-ttree hour record was given Senator Beveridge wanted to know the railroad on which the ac- cident occurred. He said he was shocked as he believed every other Sem ator was, that any road would keep a man on duty forty three hours. Sen ator LaFollette said for obvious req sons he would not give the name of the road and explained that 1t developed that in many cases the men themselves were responsible for the long hours.

TROUNCEs YOUNG CoRBETT.
Former Champion Was Easy Picking
 For Tommy Murphy.

rOrlneE CnamphOn was EAsy Flckhn8
 For Tommy Murphy.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-Tommy Mur- phy of New York gave Young Corbett a severe beating in six round bout before the National Athletic Club to- night From the first to the sixth round Murphy outfought the former champion at all stages.
 In the second round the sound of the bell saved Corbett from a knockout. Murphy rained blows on the former Denver fighter. and near the close of the round sent Corbett to the floor with right to the jaw.
 When Corbett rose, Murphy kept af- ter him, sending lefts and rights to the face and body. When the gong sounded Corbett was hanging on the ropes in practically a helpless condi- tion. The one minute rest brought him back in fairly oood condition. but Murphy gave him no opportunity to rest, and drove Corbett from one side of the ring to the other, landing on the face and body almost at will.
 Corbett got in an occasional blow ito the kidneys and neck. but they
 The third, fourth. fifth and sixth rounds were repetitions of the others. Corbett tired perceptibly in the clos ing rounds. Murphy's condition was perfect. but it is probable that Cor bett would have tipped the beam close to 140 pounds.

Every effort will be put forth by States Attorney Jerome in New York to make the trial of Harry Thaw a record breaker in the matter of time 'lconsumed. Not more han half . dozen witnesses will be called by the prosecution. and It Is not thought their direct examination will occupy more than a day. There is 10 question that Thaw killed White. nor is there any doubt that the killing was delb- crate. Naturally, the defense will oe- cupy considerable time in CrCss-examl- nation. and in this way the trial may be heightened.

HoME-MADE REMEDY
 FOR RHEUMATIsM.

v 0a< A&aAh<e
 To relieve the worst forms of Rheumatism. take a tea spoonful of the following mix ture after each meal and at bedtime:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion. one half ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce; Compound syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in bottle.
 These harmless ingredients can be obtained from any good pharmacy.
 This prescription, states a we'll known authority. forces the clogged-up. inactive kid- neys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid. which causes Rheumatism. Relief is felt from the first few doses.
 It Is said that a person who would take this prescription regularly, dose or two daily or even a few times week. would never have serious Kid ney or Urinary disorders or Rheumatism.
 Cut this out and preserve 1t. Good Rheumatism prescriptions which really relieve are scarce, Indeed, and when you need 1t you want 1t badly.

Career of Noted Men Ended Peacefully
at Their Homes.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-When Ben
and Jesse Holiday were running the
famous pony express" and a stage
line across the plains to the gold fields
of California, nc one would have
guessed that both would die 'in their
BEDS and rich men. Ben Holiday
died year ago, but Jesse Holiday, 81
a old and rich in Chicago real
estate, lived until last week. For
a he has been considered an au-
thority on values of real estate in this
city. After the building of the Union
Pacific and the decline of the pictur-
esque stage lines and primitive fast
mail routes" the brothers started and
for years owned another kind of trans
p%ortation line, steamships from a
Francisco to Honolulu. The romance
and the heroics of the page of Amer
lean history created by the Holiday
brothers will hold living interest for
generations to come, for those two
men defed nature, the Indians, high
waymen and time. For years one ad-
venture followed another; the pick Of
daring men rode the ponies or drove
the swinging stages over the Santa Fe
trail, and it was the indomitable o
age of the Holidays that made this
possible.
