With Special Counsel.

St. Louis-AttOrney General Hadley
met with Sanford B. Ladd and Fred
erick w. Lehman. special counsel for
the state in the railroad rate cases.
and the states expert accountants at
the Jefferson Hotel to talk over plans
for the presentation of the states case
when the hearings are resumed at
Kansas City on November so before
Judge Smith Mcpherson of the Unit
ed States circuit court.
The cases come up on the Injunction
proceedings brought by the railroad
to restrain the state from enforcing
the maximum freight and 2-cent pass
enger laws. It will require three or
four days, Mr.. Ladd believes for the
railroads to close. after which the
state will have it's innings. Judge
Mcpherson has indicated that he will
decide the cases in January. If the
state wins. the maximum freight
laws go into effect. If the railroads
win the state will not only be perma-
nently be restrained from the en-
forcement of the maximum freight
law, but an injunction will issue to
prevent the enforcement of the 2-cent
passenger law which has been tried
out during the past summer.

taken did more toward relieving me of

Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. 1t is
such results as this that gives Peruna
its unassailable hold upon the people
We could say nothing that would add
force to such testimonials as the above.
That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able, find relief in Peruna, constitutes
the best argument that could be made.

BEES MARK MANS COMING.
Wild Ones All Descended from Those
Once Domesticated.

All the honey bees in this country
having originally been imported from
Europe Or Aisa, there is no racial diff
ference between the wild ones and the
domesticated; those that live in trees
are simply the descendants of those
that from time to time have taken
French leave" from their owners
hives and reverted to a state of ma
ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees
are of the German or black race, while
the standard domesticated bee is the
Italian; but that, however, is only be
cause the Germans were the first to
be introduced here. Just when the
Germans came is in doubt, but 1t was
some time in the seventeenth centu-
ry; certainly 1t was not until near
the close of the eighteenth century
that any bees were found west of the
Mississippi. The Indians used to say
they could mark the advance of the
white man by the appearance of bees
in the woods. The Italian bees were
first imported in 1860. Better temper.
ed and more Industrious than the Ger
mans, they have become popular with
apiraists: but as many still keep the
German bee, and others have the by.
brid formed by the crossing of the
two races, while countless Italians
now have taken to the woods, there TO
breed more hybrids, it is clear that
there is no sure way of distinguishing
between the wild bee and the domesti-

young man. Enrico passes from the
verandah and Marina sees the fame
of the torch moving to the orange tree
She raises her voice and shrieks with
all her force: Edwin, my husband,
you have only a minute to save your
life. In some way, descend from the

And a cry comes to her: My wife,

And over it are frantic curses from

Marina shouts Il can only give yon

woman's devotion, for the barbaric
ballads have been selected with un-
canny subtlety. For one .read mo-

To Cipriano. who is triumphantly
murmuring: Il see, by your bushes,

of the tower and die with her hus-
