A piece of flannel dampened with

plaster. When troubled with lame back
or pains in the side or chest give it {
trial and you are certain to be more
than pleased with the prompt RELIEF
which it affords. This liniment also
relieves rheumatic pains and is certain
to please anyone suffering from tina
disease. Sold by II. E. Closed Co.

INDEPENDENTS WIN VERDICT
GET JUDGMENT AGAINST LIVE
STOCK EXCHANGE FOR $57 900.
Dispute Started Three Years Ago
in Controversy Over the Size
of Commissions.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June GA jury
in the circuit court here returned a YER
dict today for $4,000 in favor of the Co
Operative Live Stock Commission Com
pany, which is backed by several live
stock growers in the west and south
west, against thirteen members Of the
Traders Live Stock Exchange. The
suit was brought under the anti
trust act, naming penalty for organizing
pools or combinations. The law says
the trial judge must triple the jury's ver-
dict and make the product the judgment
against the defendants. For that reason
the judgment is for $4,000. 1t is the
first in this county under the law.
The dispute out of which the suit grew
began three years ago. when the National
Live Stock Growers Association decreed
that the growers and stock raisers were
paying too large commissions for the
handling of live stock when it came to
market. The exchanges in all the mar
kets, including Kansas City, Chicago and
Omaha, refused to reduce the middle
man. prices. Then the Cooperative Live
Stock Commission Company was started
in opposition.
The old live stock exchange and the
Traders Live Stock Exchange refused to
deal with the Independent commission
concern. The suit charging that the deal
ers were in a pool was brought in the
circuit court in January of 1908. The suit
was for $4,000 damages, which when
tripIed, according to the antitrust law,
made 1t for $4,000.

The American Novelist.

From the London ChTonlcle
The American novelist of tie newer
order is apt to write, as the American
young woman talks, at the top or MS
voice. There is something in the at
mosphere Of the United States partly
natural, partly artificial, and the erect OF
an inveterate spirit Of rivalry which slim
ulates the organs of expression to an eX-
cessive, often a strident, pitch Of energy
The itching national desire to be thought
original to have snap and go in season
and out of season leads inevitably to
freakishness, irreverence, slang and
srieyous maltreatment of language.
The literary ideals of Hawthorne are
evidently obsolete. Even those of Mr.
Henry James and Mr.. w. D. Howells
are contemned or forgotten. The ambi-
ton of the younger school Of transat-
lantic novelists is: as we are frequently
told, to produce real live stories. AS
suredly that is one Of the most laudable
of ambitions, but it miscarries sorely
when it results in a fussy effort to gall
vanize inert matter to n semblance OF
vigor and gayety. Not thus is the novel
endowed with organic life.

Facts About the Tongue.

From the London Chronicle.
1t is more than rude to put out your
tongue--it is dangerous. From the obser-
vations made by a physiognomist 1t ap-
pears that the tongue when quite still can
be as eloquent in giving its owner away
as when it is wagging sixteen to the
dozen. This is a hard fact for silent men
to swallow--in silence. His only remedy
Is to keep we'll so as to obviate the neces-
sary injunction of the doctor to put his
tongue out, for by this thrust-out sign the
doctor shall know him. The tongue OF
the talker when obtruded incllneJ to the
right side of the mouth. we are asked to
believe, whereas the seldom-uSed tongue
sravitates to the left side. Orators, preach
ers and barristers are endowed with right
sided tongues Those verbally parsImo-
NOUS are left-sided.
Furthermore, the tongue that shoots
out straight without turning or waNering
Indicates a solid, reliable man of affairs.
Tongues that turn up Indicate impractical
natures. A downward, dropping tongue
belongs to one born to poverty and a ready
eve for the hopeless side of things. Inc
cruel tongue flattens and broadens when
extended. The delicate speaking organ
with curled-up edges Is the property OF
an imaginative and artistic being. When
the tongue issues forth as If srlpped In
a dental wise 1t signifies love OF life
more than ordinary. Finally, we are
warned that the individual who thrusts
forth his tongue to its EXTREMIST verge
is one to whom no secret should ever De
contided. for he is an irresponsible chat-
fer

MARTINS MACHINE WRECKED
TOW ROPE BREAKS AND COL
LIsIoN WITH FENCE FOLLOWS.
Two Successful Flights by Glenn
Curtiss at the Morris Park
Aeronautic Contests.

NEW YORK, June 26.-With the excep-
ton Of two successful flights by Glenn
H Curtiss, the Hammondsport, n. Y.
aeroplanist, the contests held today by
the New York Aeronautic Society at Nor
ris Park came pretty near being a series
of mishaps The most serious of these
was the wrecking of the gliding macnine
of William H. Martin Of Canton, Ohio.
A tow rope connected with an automobile.
which was being run to give the glider its
impetus, snapped suddenly. and the big
machine careened and crashed into a
fence.
Mr.. Martins right hand was injured,
but otherwise he ESCAPED unscathed. His
wife was in the automobile towing her
husband. Several persons narrowly miss
ed being struck by the glider as it hit the
fence.
Mr. Curtiss made a good flight in his
aeroplane in the morning, and in the
evening flew almost entirely around the
track. He assembled to a height of about
sixty feet, went more than a mile alto
gether, and was in the air about two
minutes.
Something went wrong with the engine
of the aeroplane of F. Schneider of
Brooklyn. and he could not fly, Frank
Woodruff of Newark, a ballooniSt, had a
sunstroke and had to be taken to hos
pitai.
Two successful balloon ascensions were
made, the most spectacular of which was
by Mary Hunter, a professional woman
balloonist of Newark, n. j. She went
up about 5000 feet and descended near
the track in a parachute. John Mack.
also of Newark. went up about 5000
feet and came down inside the track in
a parachute without miShap.
Various kinds of air craft were on ex-
hibition at the ground during the day,
and there were several minor contests
with kites and other flying apparatus.
William H. Martin, who figured in the
accident of the Glider. is a well known
member of the Aero Club of Ohio. Mrs.
Martin is an enthusiastic aeronaut.

parture in the method Of celebrating the
nations birthday in a safe and sane

City as Purveyor of Water Power.
From Hampton's Magazine.

Augusta. Ga. owns the best municipal
water power in America. Away back
"befo' de wah" Augusta bought and de-
veloped the rapids of the Savannah river
nine miles above town, built a dam and a
long canal, and ever since has sold the
water to her manufacturers. (There are
many other powers on the Savannah all
equally the property of the people. but
corporations have recently grabbed them. j
Augusta worked before the days of cleo
tricily, so it simply sells water on the
wheel That is, the factories are beside
the canal. its water runs through a tuf-
bine in each factory, and the city charges
them $3.50 horsepower year for its use.
That power is so cheap that when hard
times shut down northern mills and the
Fall River. Mass, workmen are out OF
employment. the King & Sibley and other
big cotton factories in Augusta go right
ahead. profitably. Their employees are
kept busy because the city had foresight,
because it built and developed its power
and now sells it for what 1t is worth.
The receipts reduce taxes in the town
and make living easier.
Augusta charges $3.50 a horsepower
year for water on the wheel. The manu-
facturer provides the wheel Augusta the
dam and canal
