The state law which prohibits
foreign railroad corporations from
using federal courts in suits insti-
tuted against citizens Of the state
of Missouri was declared unconsti-
tutional Monday morning by Judge
Smith Mcpherson in the United
States circuit court. The law thus
affected was enacted at the last ses-
sion of the legislature and was ap-
proved March 13, 1907.
Attorney General Hadley holds
that the state of Missouri has the
right, under the present laws, to
prohibit the railroads from remov-
ing their cases, in case of foreign
companies from the state to the
federal courts, and that there was
no necessity Of enacting the statute
passed by the last general assem-
bly,, which Judge Mcpherson has
declared unconstitutional. He says,
however, that the case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States for a final decision.

is the scale in which we weigh the
acts of our friends, and ought to
weigh our own. 1t is the bar at
which we judge our enemies. 1t is
the fountain head of all our thoughts
and deeds. 1t is the safe deposit
where we treasure up all the sweet
memories of the past, and the tab
let on which are marked the sears
of ill-treatment. 1t is the captain
of the little craft in which we jour
ney down the stream of life. 1t is
the dwelling-place of the soul
that indestructible spiritual life
that dwells within us.
There are glad hearts, and sad
hearts, and hearts that are broken.
Did you ever think that no human
being was ever born whose destiny
was not linked with the heart of
some ono else. There is the moth
er's solicitude for her child; the
heart is it's abiding place. The two
hearts are bound together by the
tender cords of affection, and no
distance that separates them can
break this binding force.
The head is receptacle in which
to store knowledge; the heart is a
monitor that directs that knowl-
edge. The glad hearts! How well
come they are in this old world
The hearts that wear smiling face
and extend the glad hand! They
scatter sunshine wherever they go.
They inspire us with good thoughts
and the desire to do noble things.
They smooth down the rough plac-
es in life. They remove the obsta-
cles from our paths, and sweeten
the pleasures of this old world.
Then there are the hearts that
are sad and appeal to our sympa-
thies. They water our own hearts
with their tears and keep alive the
spirit of love and compassion
They, too, have their God-given
purposes.
And what shall we say of the
aching hearts? the mothers heart
that aches for her wayward boy?
the wife's heart that yearns for a
caress from an erring husband?
What can equal a mothers love
for the boy? You boys have grown
up from tender babies under a
mothers S watchful care. All, boys, |
how many heartaches do you cause
that dear old mother! Do you re-
alize the world of affection in a |
heart? What joy can
you have in her sorrow? What |
pleasure in her pain? Stop, my
lad, and think of your mothers |
heart. You have it in your power
to make it glad or make it sad. Let |
your heart warm to hers as it did
when a babe in her arms. Kindly
stroke the gray hairs on her head
and assure her that in your heart
there is seated deep and lasting
love and reverence for her.
Do you know that this subject of
hearts is the grandest one on earth;
The more you study it, the longer
it grows. 1t is as broad as the
earth, as high as heaven and as
deep as the unfathomable abyss.
Hearts are the trump cards in life,
and the ticket we must present at
,he door of heaven.
The heart is the book-keeper of
,ur actions. How do you keep iti
s it clean and pure enough for
,ublic inspection, or is it SCARED
,ver with bad thoughts and worse
leedsi All, keep thy heart dill

He Believes Taft Will Be Nominated and FavOrs an
 Uninstructed Delegation.

President F. M. Murphy of the s. F. P. & P. on his return from New York the other day entered into a conference with other officials of the road with a view to ascertaining and deciding upon the best plan for stimulating and developing business especially in the mining industry in the districts ad- jacent to its lines. The subject of ore rates to outside smelters was consid- cred.
 After the conference MT. Murphy said to a representative of the Journal Miner: I'm sorry that l was unable to bring back from New York encour- aging news of the resumption of Oper- ations shortly at the Humboldt smelter but I was assured by the Lawson and Burrage interests that something would be doing towards adjusting the com pany's financial difficulties in the near future. It was stated that parties fig uring on taking over the plant would settle certain claims against the con cern on March 10, and take its affairs out of bankruptcy proceedings. On that date, however, an extension of thirty days was granted, and the prop erty is still in the hands of the re- ceiver On April 10 some developments may be looked for.

Captain Hoatson Tells What He Thinks of the Warren District-Says Within Eighteen Months Capacity of C. and A. Shelter Will Be Doubled

T believe that the Warren district. of which Bisbee is the metropolis, will be the equal of any mining district to be found in this country. l have dur ing the last few days examined the mines there and I never saw a better showing anywhere.
 In the Hoatson shaft, a Superior and Pittsburg property, the recent showing has been marvellous. At the 1200-foot level the present ore body has been cut eighty feet in one way and 360 feet another: this immense body of ore will average something like F per cent copper

CONSUMPTION CONQUERED
Home Treatment Advocated Instead
 of Punishment

of Punishment
 In place of binding heavier burdens on the consumDtive and the sufferer from asthma by banishment to high attitudes # has been proved that home treatment with the simplest medication. brings about the best re- suits.
 The American Bureau is distributing gratuitOusly a valuable treatise on asthma and consumption. which con tains rules and regulations relative to diet. exercise, hygiene and medic inal treatment for the cure of these maladies. It also points out ways and means. making t safe to remain in contact with the consumptive patient
 The establishment of the American Bureau is the result of the wonderful achievements of Professor Hoff. of the faculty Of the University of Vien- ma. whose success in the treatment of consumption, asthma and catarrh is little less than marvellous. His theo- ries are to be promulgated in the hope of driving the great White Plague from this continent
 The Dith of this little book has been copied by local boards of health. and by addressing the American Bureau. Third Avenue and Tenth street, New York City, the complete book will be sent free to any sufferer from asthma or consumption.
 In Phoenix Arizona, this book and samples of Prof. Hoff's prescription is supplied free by the Bear Pharmacy, to all who apply.
