latest suggestions made is that there
shall be absolutely free trade between
the islands and the United States with
a definite statement as to the date
when the Archipelago will be given
its independence and allowed to set
up housekeeping for itself. 1t is said
that this suggestion has been brought
about by the beet sugar and tobacco
interests and that they have stolen a
march on the government. OF course
many of the Democrats are anxious
to get rid of the islands on anti-im-
perialistic grounds. 1t is said that
some of the men in the House ident-
flied with the beet sugar interests,
have made deal with the Democrats
to pass Philippine tariff bill with
this provision for free trade and ulti-
mate independence in it. Such bill
possibly might get through the House
but it is doubtful if it could be passed
in The Senate. So the alleged con-
spiracy is not likely to amount to
much.
The first of the officers to be retired
from the Army on account OF the
riding test is Gen. Chas. F. Smith.
He was unfortunate enough to break
leg sometime ago and this has in
capacitated himf for riding. But
there is another officer who did not
take any@of the recent test rides and
whose case is apt to be puzzle to the
department.. Col. William Marshall
recently the engineer officer for New
York, has not taken the test yet SIM
ply because he weighs 800 pounds and
could not find horse that would
stand up to the test with him. He
is almost as heavy as was General
Shafter when he held the famous
command in Cuba. Gen. Shafter
then weighed $40 pounds and had to
have a special Percheron horse to
carry him and a platform built in
front of his tent from which to mount.
Col. Miller has been ordered to ride
for display and the question remains
whether he can put his failure to
comply on the horses furnished. He
might reasonably insist that if the
War Department wanted him to ride
it must furnish him with horse and
as the horse is not furnished, he can
not be held not to have complied
with the order. There was nothing
specific said in the original order
about horses, and if the Department
is very solicitous about having the
colonel take a ride, it might import
an elephant for his use.

ances due bank available for the re-
demption of its circulating notes from
banks approved by the Comptroller
of the currency, and repeating all

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change a
few years Of married life often make in
tho appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

Not All Stranger.

The Baltimore American of January I'd
says:
"Never, perhaps, in the legislative his
tory of Maryland were there more famil-
lar faces and less strangers than there
are in the Senate and House of Delegates
which organized at Annapolis today"
Of Senator John P. T. Matthias of this
place it remarks:
"Senator Matthias, of Frederick county,
was formerly member of the House and
a very useful one, too. He is one of the
most companonable of men and although
a stranger to all the senators when he
arrived at Annapolis, is already very pop
ular not only with Republicans, but DEM

GREAT ART MUSEUM.

Three of the greatest private art
collections are to become the proper
ty of the city of Philadelphia in the
near future, and are to be grouped as
one for the benefit and pleasure of the
public. Plans are already on foot
which involves the erection upon a
site to be provided by the city for a
temple of art that is to rank with the
foremost of this country and abroad
These private art collections that are
to become the property of this city
are now owned by P. A. B. Widener,
John G. Johnson and the estate of
the late w. l.. Elkins. While it is
impossible to put an exact money val
uation upon property Of this kind, it
may be conservatively said that these
three collections are worth at least
$40, 100000, and that if sold under
proper direction in Europe they would
bring a great deal more than that.

If cough once gets into your system
it acts on every muscle and fibre of the
body and makes you ache all over. 1t
especially affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to get rid of
a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby
drives the cold out of the system. 1t con-
tains no opiates-it is pleasant to take
and is highly recommended for children.

TO RAISE FREIGHT RATES
Southern Railroad Officials Are
Holding a Conference.

Louisville, KY, July ia con-
ference of executive officials Of south
ern railroads, operating south Of the
Potomac and east of the Mississippi.
was called here today for the purpose
of discussing a proposed increase in
freight rates on certain commodities.
1t can be stated that no increase
of cotton and lumber rates is contem-
plated. 1t is highly probable, how
ever, that the rate on cottonseed oil
will be raised, as we'll as rates on 9TH
er commodities. 1t is not likely that
rates on general merchandise will be
changed. 1t is learned that the rail-
roads will plead, among other things,
in justification of any increase Of
rates that may be deemed expedient,
the necessity of overcoming rate re-
ductions recently effective-notably
with reference to passenger traffic.
The claim is made that the rail-
roads have already gone the limit in
the matter of reducing their operating
expenses through curtailment of SAL
aries in every branch where a cut
could be made without inviting Sc
rious complications Hence, the ques-
ton now is the raising of revenue suf-
'icient to meet the absolute exigencies |
If their properties.

Like Near Beer.

The North Pacific Brewing COM
pany of Astoria is sending out to the
various newspapers Throughout the
northwest, presumably upon the sup
position that the editors are good
judges of liquid refreshments, liberal
samples of a preparation that they
call "Maltona," made from "the Juice
of the malt and the extract of the
hops" says the La Grande Observer.
1t is a good deal like the so-called
near beer" and the new one they
have in Pendleton called "far beer
1t looks like beer, smells like beer,
tastes like beer, and 1t is-well. Judge
for yourself. The express car on

quantity of this "Maltona."

Only Slight Wheat storage.

Charles F. Van de Water, travelling
freight agent for the o. R. & N. COM
pany, is in the city today after tour
of the wheat belt and expresses the
belief that the crop this year in UNA
tilla county will be but about 80 per
cent short of last years crop. He has
visited every section where threshing
is in progress and finds that the
yields are far beyond the expectations
of the farmers themselves, who were
familiar with the crop conditions.
While the wheat is not as high nor as
thick on the ground as usual, in many
places the heads are we'll filled and
the quality of the grain is excellent.

In order that $4,000 central school
