A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Con-
. sumption.

The post norton statistics Of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are
due to unchecked dyspepsia, espec-
tally when the victim was predis.
posed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body
and brain, the weakened, irritable
stomach, is unable to digest food,
the body does not receive the
required nourishment, constipation
ensues and the victim becomes
thin, weak and haggard. AS a
result, the body becomes fertile
field for the germs of disease to
lodge and flourish.
Therefore the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered
is guilty of contributing toward the
development of one of the most
insidious and fatal diseases known
to mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated. Barker's Drug Store sells a
remedy which they positively guar:
antee will cure dyspepsia or they
pay for all the medicines used
during the trial. This remedy is ar
absolute new medical discovery and
has been named Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets. Certainly the offer could
not be more fair, and the offer Of
the Barker's Drug Store is proof
positive that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are dependable and in
failable remedy. Inasmuch as the
| medicine will cost you nothing il
it does not benefit you we urge
you who are suffering with indiges
ton or dyspepsia to try this remedy

ALIENISTS on THE STAND
Declare Captain Hams Was Insane
When He Killed Annis.


Flushing, N. Y, Jan. "A blow
from an unexpected quarter was re-.
ceived by the defense in the trial of
T. Jenkins Hams when DR.. L. Samuel
Manson, an alienist, under cross-ex-
animation by Prosecutor Darrin, de-
clared that Captain Hams suffered
from maniac Oppressive insanity last
August, an ailment that would have
prevented him from recognizing the
face or name of any enemy. The
alienist said that in patient suffer
ing from such a malady all power was
practically lost. Prosecutor Darrin,
taking advantage Of the admission of
the defense's alienist, asked him If
his opinion of Captain Hams mental
condition would be changed If he
knew that the army officer had con-
versed intelligently before and after
the shooting of William E. Annis and
that he recognized his victim as his
boat neared the float. The medical
expert said bis opinion remained un-
changed,

Perkins Opens the Discussion.
When Chairman Perkins of New
York of tho special committee arose
to make his report he faced an al
most full membership, while the gal.
leries were packed with interested
spectators. Messrs. Tawney, Smith of
Iowa, Sherley and Fitzgerald were on
the floor prepared by word of mouth
to resent what they deemed to be the
1nsinuations of the president upon
them as members of the committee
on appropriations. Before presenting
the resolutions Mr.. Perkins spoke at
some length, declaring that the por.
lions of the message objected to were
a breach of the privileges of the
house and that body should decline to
consider them.
After Mr. Perkins had concluded his
speech he gave way to Mr. DENLY,
who, In the course Of his remarks,
said that the president had veered
from the path of recommendation and
just criticism into the realm of per.
sonal abuse, spoken and inuendo.
Mr.. Driscoll of New York made an
effort to obtain from Mr.. Perkins q
promise that the time for the discus.
sion of the resolution should be ex.
tended. During the discussion Score
tary Latta appeared with three mes.
sages from the White House and his
appearance was greeted with roars OF
laughter. The messages proved to be
OF routine character and were not
allowed to interrupt the proceedings
for any length of time.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota followed
and he was given an ovation as he
arose to speak. In presenting his
views of the case Mr.. Tawney de.
clared that nothing could contribute
SO much to the destruction Of the re.
public as an attempt upon the part OF
one branch of it to impeach the honor
and integrity Of another branch.

GORE DISCUSSES

HE WANTS COST OF PRODUCTION

This is For the Purpose of Finding

Wholesale and Retail Costs of
Articles Protected.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-More
than two hours yesterday were devoU-
ed to a discussion of a resolution by
Senator Gore, calling for an investi-
cation into the cost of production at
home and abroad and the relative
price of commodities at wholesale and
retail. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Finance by a de-
cisive vote.
Considerable progress was made in
the adoption of several sections of
the tariff bill that had formerly been
passed over. There were several
amendments decreasing duties for-
merly reported by the Committee, but
some of the others adopted included
INCREASES. The Senate at So o'clock
adjourned
Senator Cores Resolution directing
the Committee on Finance to conduct
an investigation into wholesale and
retail prices of commodities was dis
cussed before the senate today at
some length. Seeking to have the res
olution adopted, Mr.. Gore said he wish
ed to have statements concerning the
eXhorbitant prices of retail dealers
fully probed, so that the country might
know just where the responsibility for
higher prices rested. He said it was
evident that such an investigation
as that contemplated could not be con-
Quoted before the pending tariff bill
was disposed Of but he had no objec-
tion to such an investigation being
undertaken. Senator Carter pointed
out that, in doing this work, the FL
nance Committee would necessarily

HENRY H, ROGERS Of
STANDARD OIL DEAD

At the point where the loop intersects
the main line one of the excursion
cars was struck by a car on its reg
ular run. Nearly all the passengers
were considerably shaken up as re-
suit of the impact but Messrs. Arnold
and Stillwell were the only ones seri
ously hurt.
Mr.. Stillwell was taken to McKin-
ley's Sanitarium while Mr. Arnold who
is one of McComb City's most promi-
nent citizens being mayor of the town,
was taken to his apartments at the
Hotel Gilmer.
Skelt, conductor on the car that ran
into the front of the car following,
arrived at the Columbus hospital
about $50 tonight and one of his
hands and right knee are badly
bruised. The accident was caused
by a failure to signal the oncoming
car. Had a flagman been sent back
beyond the curve where it happened
to perform this service, the smash up
would not have occurred. All the Wis
itors were compelled to walk back to
the city. The poor street car service
has advertised the city in a way the
Columbus citizens do not relish.

SCOTT SAYS He KEPT
FAITH WITH PEOPLE
Commissioners Voted On Two Cent
Fare and Then On TWO and Half
Cent Maxum-Lee and Webb Vot-
ed No.

JACKSON, Miss, May 19.By a vote
of two to one, the Commission last
night first declined to put in effect
IA 2-cent maximum ticket or train
rate order, which was made as a
formal motion by Commissioner Scott.
Messrs. Lee and Webb voting no.
Directly afterwards Mr. Scott moved
that the maximum be fixed at 2 IL
cents, which was also voted down in
the same way.
After the failure of the two motions
President Lee summed up the situa-
tion as it appeared to him, as he had
believed that the interest and welfare
OF the little fellows, the middle man
and the merchant, the salesman and
the railroad operators, were due con-
sideration, and he felt it his duty TO
represent their interests while stand
ing for the rights of the carrier and
the commercial man. He said the car
riers had too many burdens and felt
that it had been shown that the time
was inOpportune to make any change,
and he would entertain a motion that
rhe present status be not disturbed. A
motion to that effect was made by
Commissioner Webb, who expressed
himself for the first time during the
day and declared that he represented
nor only the people of his district, but
the railroads and other corporations,
who also had tights under the law.
He felt that tle suggestion of his
eoloa-re. Mr. Lee, meant onward
and upward. and it gave him pleasure
To- support his position, to leave we'll
enough alone
Commissioner Scott then took the
floor and stated that about all the
consolation remaining to him was the
conscientious conviction that he had
Kent aith with his constituents, who
had elected him on a lower rate plat
form by the largest majority ever
received by a railroad commissioner
candidate in his district. He had,
however. been convinced that the
greater interests were opposed to the
change which he had favored. and
now il gave him pleasure to second
tn, motion presented, and in so do
ing TO make the action unanimous.
This address of Mr.. Scott's as well

were greeted with applause from all
parts of the hall. Judge Fletcher eX-
