MONEY IN PRIMARIES.

VAT + HAVE only a word to say to "one who
w is not on the band wagon who writes
a letter in the News from Bridgeville telling OF
alleged political conditions there Our word is
that if money is used at the primaries or at the
election by any persons, the offenders should be
prosecuted if there is any way in which to bring
them before court That is about the only
remedy we know Of to stop the practice of using
money at elections, and the only way in which
fair play can be secured.
If the writer of the letter has any other reason
able method to suggest, we are confident he will
be upheld by all those who are opposed to the
employment of money illegally in our politics.
Such use of money, if it is used, can be and will
be stopped when our people are determined that
il shall cease

Seasick Has Been Backed Down on
Betting in English Derby.

New York, April 16.-Cablegrams
from England indicate that American
money is likely to play a large part
in the betting on the noted English
Derby. Whether the yankee con-
tingent figures that Crocker's vic
tory of last season with Orby gives a
"hunch" on the present year, or
whether the reported workouts of the
Vanderbilt entry have been of a
laudatory nature. certain it is that
the American horse. Seasick. is being
well backed in the British future
books.
Seasick was bred on the French es-
tate of w. K. Vanderbilt, and is be-
ing held at 10 to 1 in the wagering.
His odds have been forced down
from 2 to 1. 1t was hoped that the
gray French colt Temeraire would be
a starter, but he has been Withdrawn.
He was one of the best 2-year-olds of

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES.
Traffic Officials of Eastern Lines
Recommend Increase


Chicago, April 16.-Executive traffic
officials of all railroads east Of the
Mississippi river and north of the
Ohio clear to the seaboard have rec
commended to their presidents increases
in all the class freight rates in that
territory. The presidents of the roads
will soon hold a meeting in New York
at which the recommendation will be
discussed and action taken upon It. 1t
is understood that the measure in
creasing the rates has the hearty and
unanimous support Of all roads, but
that some want to go further and
bring about increases in the commodi-
ty rates as we'll. The territory in
which the proposed increases would
take effect is what is known in trans
portation circles as official classical
ton territory. For the purpose Of de-
termining what rates various articles
and commodities of commerce will
take, all the things shipped by freight
are divided into six classes, each class
having its own rates.
The present proposition is to in
crease the class rates about as fol-
lows, the basis of the changes being
York: First class, 10 cents per 100
pounds, or from rs to IS cents; second
class, an increase of 8 cents per 100
pounds; third class, an increase of
cents per 100 pounds; fourth class, an
increase of cents per 100 pounds;
fifth class, an increase of cents per
100 pounds, and, sixth class, an in
crease Of cents per 100 pounds.

city by the Santa Fe. The long yards
now over mile in length and nearly

Not only is there more freight pass
ing through the city than was moving
a year ago, but the business of the
San Bernardino station is rapidly on
the increase, evidence that the city is
growing rapidly.

After all, experience is the best
teacher. Some doctors may write in
favor of Peruna. Other doctors may
write against it. But it is the testi-
mOny of the mothers and fathers who
are rearing families, who love their
children, who must economic as to
doctor bills, who are raising little boys
and girls into men and women of the
future, it is the testimony of such peo-
pie that really counts.
There is no way to positively ascer-
tain how many families in the United
States rely upon Peruna for the many
climatic ailments to which the family
is subject. The number must be a
great one. Several millions perhaps.
They have learned how to use Peruna
for ordinary ailments, and in that way
are guarding their homes against more
serious diseases.
Such ailments as coughs and colds
sore throat and catarrh. Group and
collie, indigestion and loss of appetite
anemia and nervousness, all these all
ments are promptly relieved by few
doses of Peruna at the right time.
Millions of provident mothers and
fathers are guarding the interests of
the home by using DR.. Hartman's great
remedy, and profiting by his medical
booklets and personal advice.

Unholz is at home and a ticket will

Gleason, who induced Nelson to put
up forfeit of $4,000 to bind his match
with Cans, has taken steps to secure
a legal test of a fight contract, which
may cost Nelson his forfeit. Gleason

urban car which may be placed in
service by the company in an hourly
interurban service between Louisville

by steam and is the latest in modern
railroad construction. The test,
which took place recently, and which
was witnessed by the high officials of
the company, proved successful, the
car attaining a speed of mile min
ute. The officials who witnessed the
test included President Milton H.

says he accepted the proposition and
was paid the money and given job as
bill clerk in the freight office.
He began work in December OF that

Broncho Wins Twelve Mile Sprint
From Locomotive.


Denver. April 16.-Down in New
Mexico there may be a little broncho
which will be a long time recovering
its wind but it will be well cared for
by A. A. Tremp, state agent of the
Cudahy Packing company, who with
the aid Of the little horse won a race
with passenger train and got in Dem
yer in time to care for his family af-
ter their home had been destroyed by
fire.
Mr. Tremp was in Santa Fe, N. M.
when he got a message from Denver
saying that his summer home at Ell
sic. Col, a few miles from Berkeley,
had been burned down. The house
was discovered to be on fire Wednes-
to get aid it burned to the ground,
leaving Mrs. Tremp and her four
children without shelter.
Mr. Tremp received the news just
as the regular Denver bound train
was leaving the depot. 1t was hours
before he could get anoJner train, and
under the circumstances he felt that
not a minute could be lost. He was
told that by riding twelve miles
across the country he might intercept
the train, which had to make a de-
tour to reach the station at Tacoma.
There was a broncho standing in
front of the hotel and, without wait
ing to find out who it belonged to,
he mounted and started on his cross
country side. He reached the station
just as the train was pulling in, but
at the same time the gallant little
horse dropped from exhaustion. AS
soon as he reached Denver and cared
for his family Mr. Tremp wrote to
Santa Fe asking friends to see that
the horse was well cared for and to
reimburse the owner for any damage
done.

SANTA FE FILES ANSWER.
Claims Hartman Has No Controlling
Interest in System.

Salt Lake City, April 16-Answer to
the charge made by the United States
government in its suit to dissolve the
Hartman system of railroads as COM
bination in restraint of trade was filed
in the United States court yesterday
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad one day before the expiration
of the time allowed it to answer. The
answer of the Santa F'e is similar to
those already filed by the other de-
PENDANTS in the case and makes a
sweeping denial of the various charges
of conspiracy and illegal combination.
1t is asserted in the answer that Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific COM
panies have nothing to do with the
policy of the Santa Fe and that the
