 This is but ore of many complaints which are daily filed with the Inter- state Commerce commission, originat- ing at all points in the United States. as anyone may know who has kept posted on the complaints before, and decisions by the Interstate Commerce commission.

Furious RootIet Cactus.

Curious among vegetable growths is the roOtlet cactus of the California desert. This plant, a round compact growth, rolls about the level floor of the desert for some eight or nine months of the year, tossed hither and yon by the winds which blow with fierceness over all Californias sand plat during those months. At the coming of rains, or, rather the cloud bursts, which sweep the desert in its springtime, this cactus takes root, wherever it happens to have been dropped by the last wind of which it was the plaything and immediately begins to put out all around it small shoots, which, in turn. become cacti, exactly like the parent plant.

Kodol is a pleasant. palatable, liquid preparation, that helps the stomach to do its work in a natural way Being a liquid, it starts di- gestion at once.
 Kodol supplies the same digestive juices that are found in a healthy stomach. This is why it will stop the pains of indigestion quickly.

PENSION FOR MRS. CLEVELAND

Inc question of pension for Mrs.

\ FIXED POLITICAL QUANTITY.

What is the negro vote WORTH"
asks the ST. Louis Post Dispatch,
and thus answers it's question:
The colored population of Illinois
in 1900 was S5,07S. Using the CEN
sus proportion of one voter to every
i.3 Of the population, it appears
there are about 10000 black voters
in that state. on this basis we must
reckon with $4,000 black votes in
IndiaEa, $4,000 in Ohio. $4,000 in
New York, $500 in Connecticut
and 1900 in New Jersey. Mary
land has $4,000 colored votes, but
probably they are not all cast. But
there are enough TO count in
close election. Nothing has been
done by the Republican party to Sc
cure this vote since the fifteenth
amendment was adopted 1t has been
