STRIKE APPROACHING CRISIS
Both Sides Waiting for What Promises
to be Final Struggle.

New York, May 11.-Today's events
indicate that the crisis in the long
shoremen's strike is approaching. The
10000 or 1900 men who are out, are
apparently nearing the limit of their
patience and both sides are waiting fGr
what promises to be the final struggle.
In the meantime the police are in
readiness TO queli any rioting that may
occur. The reserves at all the pre-
cincts in the vicinity of the water
front have been doubled and many OF
the dinners that usually follow the
police parade which took place today
were called of tonight because of the
need for the men at the stations in
case OF trouble.

COMPLAINANT LOSES CASE
Rates From Southeastern States
Not Unreasonable
DECISION OF THE COMMISSION
NV England Mill. EntitId to Lower
Rates to OfT=te The Advantages Pos
se>>ed by Southern Niiis-Pig Iron
Rate Unjust and Excessive.

Washington, May I.-DecisioDS in
six cases were handed down today by
the interstate commerce commission.
One of the cases, that of the Enter
prise Manufacturing Company OF
Georgia against the Georgia Railroad
Company and others, involving rates
on cotton goods and cotton waste from
southern points to Pacific coast ter
minals, being OF great Importance
The decision in this case was rendered
by Commissioner Lane and is against
the complainant, it being held that the
higher freight rates on such goods
from points in the south to the Pacific
coast are just and reasonable In it's
announcement the commission says.
''The fact that such rates from the
southeastern states are higher than
those obtaining from the New Eng
land states does not in and of itself
establish the unreasonableness Of the
higher rates, as the conditions existing
at the two localities are dissimlIar
The New England mills, which suffer
by the competition of the more favor
ably situated southern mills, from tie
standpoint of the production are en-
they have from being situated at
points closer to ports where cheap
water competition has been establish
ed to the Pacific coast points of con-
sumption. The existence of a lower
rate in the somewhat remote past
does not necessarily prove anything
of value in ascertaining the reason
ableness of a rate existing today.
"In the case of Tomlin-Harris Ma
chine Company VS. the Louisville and
Nashville railroad company and others
it was shown that the rates on coaf
and pig iron from Birmingham, Ala,
to Cordele, Ga, from S1.70 per net ton
and S275 per gross ton, respectively,
and from Birmingham to Macon, Ca,
are $160 per net ton and $1.6O peg
gross ton, respectively, Cordele being
a nearer point, Upon complaint that
such rates to Cordele are unreasonable
and unduly discriminatory the corr
mission, in an opinion by Commission
er Lane, holds that upon the facts
shown the coal rate is not unreaso1-
able or discriminatory, but that the
pig iron rate is unjust and excessive.
The carriers are ordered to put IN
force on or before June Is, 1907, a rate
of s2.15 per gross ton on pig iron from
birmingham to Cordele.

Monster Philippine Snakes,

In the Maniia Times of May r16 ap-
pears the following: callers at the
Paris building this morning enjoyed
the sight of a snake skin of nam
moth proportions. 1t was that of a
boa constructor shot 40 miles north
of Zamboanga by two American pros
pectors, Bell and Newman. The skin
measures 20 feet, but Mr. Wicker
sham, who brought the skin to Ma
Mia, says when first killed the snake
measured 80 feet six inches.
"At the time it was shot the con-
strictor had just seized deer by the
nose and was choking off its wind.
The constructor received q charge of
buckshot full in the neck and fell
without a struggle. The wound is
now represented by jagged hole in
the skin about three inches in diam
eter.
"Mr. Wickerham says he has seen
one constructor even larger, SO feet.
For the purpose Of convincing the
skeptical that there are such mon
sters in these islands he has agreed
to place the skin on exhibition"

Whooping Cough Bacillus Found.

At a recent session of the Medical
society of Vienna DR.. Heinrich Al
brecht. professor for pathological an
atomy and prosecutor of the Will
helmine hospital, stated that he had
succeeded in finding the cause of
whooping cough. 1t is Identical with
the long-known influenza bacillus. For
long time it had been believed that
whooping cough was caused by spe-
cific kind of bacteria, of which so
far not much was known. AS there
exists a growing tendency to treat all
infectious diseases by means of
serum, much value was attached to
finding the cause of whooping cough.
Prof. Albrecht has prepared a Sc
rum from the whooping cough (influ.
enza) bacillus, which, injected into
rabbits, caused a severe inflammation
OF the heart. These experiments may
explain why influenza has such Diet.

SLEEP AND DEATH
BOTH NATURAL OCCURRENCES
AND WITHOUT PAIN.
Reasoning Proves That There Can Be
No Consciousness at the instant
Of Either-Working OF
Natural Law.

The phenomenon called sleep may
be summed up in the following propo-
sitions, says a writer in the Cosmo-
politan:
First-Sleep is temporary death OF
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Second-This death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during sleep ana
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under three heads, natural
death. sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
The gradual loss of sensibility by
the sensitive organs which precedes
sleep now takes place in the vital
system, and all the organs pass into
permanent sleep together. There can
be no pain preceding or at the mo-
ment of such death, any more than
there is pain preceding and at the mo-
ment of passing into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to a sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all irritability OF
both sensitive and vital organs. IL
requires no argument to prove that
a person who is suddenly stricken
dead can suffer no pain. The ele-
ment of time must be present in or
der to suffer physical pain, and In
the sudden death of person the ele-
ment of time is absent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form
of death, namely, death from disease.
AS soon as disease is established,
dying begins, which is but more
rapid than natural ceasing of all SEN
sibilities, accompanied with more or
less suffering, according to the cause
which produces it, This dying and
suffering, called disease, must termin-
ate either in so-called death, which Is
insensibility to it, or in recovery,
which is the removal of the cause Of
it. But in any event the suffering has
been endured, no matter whether the
final termination is death or re-
covery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking
into natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we, by supreme agony or in
any other way, be conscious of pass
ing into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events
in the life history of our bodies, and
we shall know no more about the lat
ter event at the time it occurs than
we did about the former.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
Weaver Enters Race for Senate.

Weaver Enters Race for Senate.
Des Moines, Iowa, July 24.-Gen.
James B. Weaver of Colfax, today an
nounced that he would be a candidate
for United States senator from Iowa
and it is not improbable that he may
challenge Gov. Cummins or Senator
Allison or both of them in joint debate.
Gen. Weaver said: 81 will be can

votes at the primaries next June re-
CARELESS of his party affiliations should
be elected by the legislature that meets
following that. I shall announce my
platform very shortly and shall have
some interesting things to say at that
time. All that Gov. Cummins knows
he learned in my political school. am
on my way now to Illinois, where I
speak in some Chautauquas but will re-
turn to the state in short time and
will then announce my platform.
That Gen. Weaver would be candi-
date for the United States senate has
been limited at by politicians already
this year. His announcement is not
altogether a surprise therefore to poll
ticians but will be a surprise to the
state at large. When mention was
made of his age Gen. Weaver declared
that he did not find his years weighing
heavily upon him as yet and thought
the coming campaign that he would
wage, in which he was determined to
make vigorous speaking campaign
over the state, would determine to the
satisfaction of the people of Iowa
whether or not he was capable of doing
the work down at Washington.
An interesting feature of the an
nouncement of Gen. Weaver is his dec
laration that he considers that the man
who gets the most votes should be
elected regardless of party utilization.
Gen. Weaver will be candidate on the
democratic ticket but declares that in
his judgment the very spirit of the
primary is that the man getting the
most votes in the state should be elect
ed at the primaries. In the light of
the discussion being waged in the re-
publican press of the state whether or
not the majority vote of the party
should rule or whether the vote in the
district is only an instruction to the
members of the legislature from that
district Gen. Viewers statement is
likely to attract attention. The Cum
minis men interpret it that the man
who gets the most votes in the state
should be elected by the legislature.
The standpatters interpret it that the
man who carries the most republican
districts should be elected.

What Becomes Of the Gold?

What has become of all the gold
produced in the past thirteen years

this has gone into the banks and

remaining 1898 million dollars it
would be fair to estimate that 1,1O5
million dollars was consumed in the

million dollars unaccounted for.
About 6s million dollars of gold year
therefore mysteriously disappears.
Does the gold go into hidden boards,
