GOV. HADLEY'S PLAN.
Missouri Executive viii Urge State

Of Danger in Extermin-

atoms,

jefferson City, Mo-. Feb. 1T is
probable that within the next few
days Governor Hadley will send
message to the legislature asking
for regulation OF the prices charged
by monopolies. He said to-day that
he had not determined fully as to
whether I will be advisable to seek
such regulation through a commission
separate from the other state de-
partments or to constitute a commits
sion out of existing offices. The gov
ernor then went on at length 70

monopolies and the dangers from ex

The Standard Oil Company Is
threatened, through a recent decree
Of the Supreme Court. with destruc'
ton, SO far as its holdings in this
state are concerned.
"a rigid enforcement Of the anti
trust laws of Missouri" he said, will
drive fully one-third OF the business
enterprises out of existance.
He declared that there are mono
polies that 1t Is better to control
than to desroy. Through business
channels commodities naturally drif'
into monopolies. Sometimes 1t Is
not to the best interests of the pub
lie to destroy them, for the public
would suffer.
1t is the governors idea that mono
poles enjoying corporate privileges
under the laws of Missouri are sub
ject to statutory regulation as a
mart of the price they must pay for
privileges
This recommendation OF the COVER
nor will open a wide field OF posi-
bilities, together with the litigation
that always follows such upheavais.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS IN A
TANGLE.
No More Conferences LikeIy-6iIls
May Be Dropped.

Denver, Feb. 6-No more Demo
cratic caucuses among the senators
Of that party during the session or
the Seventeenth general assembly.
That Is what was reported this morn
ing, after the Intellectual efforts yes
terday to reach an agreement concern
ing the platform bills introduce ed
in the assembly The situation would
be lamghable to Republicans, did 1t
not have such a tinge of real tras-
edy-
All the caucusing and rowing, and
making up and falling out again is
a part of the fight between Mayor

tor Thomas NJ. Patterson. to control

action now taken is another defeat
for Patterson, who has been so often
overthrown in the last few years.
always to bob up serenely" again.
that 1t is looked upon as regular
thing in every Democratic campaign
or even movement to try to do some
thing.
A little history repeated from
tale told only few weeks ago, will
make the situation plain to the most
.obtuse. When the Democratic con-
vention met last fall, the Speer dele
gates were instructed to trade even
thing for seats on the committee on
credentials, while the Patterson men,
.despairing of controlling the conyen-
ition nominations, traded industrious
ily for places on the platform COM
mittee. There, therefore. came out
of that convention Speer ticket,
lutaalding on a Patterson PLATFORM
When the candidates had been elect
ed, they considered the platform had
served its purpose, SO tossed the
planAs into the woodpile.
Now, Patterson is trying to force
the mem elected to carry out the ten
cts Of the platform In which the men
do not believe. A movement OF that
kind has never yet succeeded. and
the present legislature Is not pre-
pared to break any records.
With the definate endings Of nego-
tiations among the Democrats-that
is, " 1t Is definitely ended-the out
look for Legislation is not any worse
tr,an 1t was, for not at any time since
tire Seyenteenfh assembly was called
to order has there beeu thought to
be the slightest chance for any OF
:. the party measures to get through.
The house was organized yainst
-rndical legislation at its opening. and
=. .a.nce Senator Adams has vaulted in
. to the saddle in the senate. in his
usual cowboy style. what little pros
pect ever existed there for getting
anything through has gone with the
winds
The attitude of the Republicans
will cut very little figure. That par
.ty has a good working minority In
THE senate, enough to keep the Dem
ocrats from passing any radical leg
aslaion. But. with the split in that
party. the Republicans need do moth
ing. The Democrats will do 1t all;
they will kill all their own bills, and
cause the state to return at the
next election Republican majority
that will astonish the natives, and
there are some pretty sanguine nat-
ives in Colorado, at that.

Judge Lee Estelle told the Omaha Real

Wednesday that the people Of Omaha were

they wanted and were to blame for it II
1t was not as good as it ought to be; that
the people could have what they wanted.

others to do them, which make the city
unsightly?" asked c.. f. Harrison, Here

Charcoal LOzenges
A Natural Breath
Perfume
Charcoal Assists In Gaining And Re-
tanning A Sweet Breath.

Breath perfumes should never be resorted
to. They seldom conceal the odor and
never remove the cause, and are very sug-
gestive.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges sweetens the
breath by removing the cause-a disordered
condition of the stomach, and by this
means imparts to the breath the natural,
healthful odor, void of all unnatural or
suggestive condition. Charcoal fills a four
fold mission. First, II purifies the breath
by restoring to 1t the natural odor nature
intended it to have. Second, charcoal is an
absorbent, absorbing 100 per cent per vol
ume of gas, by this means relieving flat
ulence and gases of the stomach and
bowels. Third, charcoal aids digestion and
by this means regulates the action of the
bowels, relieving flux, dlarrhoea, piles,
constipation, etc. Fourth, charcoal oXidizes
the blood, thus preventing pimples and
other eruptions that arise from Indigestion
and impurities of the blood,
StuaTt's Charcoal Lozenges are a house
hold necessity and should be in every
home, containing only young willow wood
charcoal and honey. They are perfectly
harmless and any quantity may be taken
without Ill effects. Old and young alike
can take Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges with
the same beneficial results.
The next time that you nave your sto-
mach, Indigestion, bad breath, heartburn,
gastritis, bad taste in the mouth, belching
or belching up of food, just step in the
nearest drug store and get a box Of Stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges and try them; the
results will be gratifying and almost in
Simultaneous, the stomach will soon feel
better and the disagreeable odor disappear
in a very short time.
If you prize a sweet breath and healthy
stomach, you should occasionally use
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. A lozenger
now and then will suffice to sweeten the
breath and keep the stomach in a healthy
condition; try them; for sale everywhere,
or a sample will be mailed free upon re-
quest. Address the F. A. Stuart Co., 200

Council OverSteps
Charter Limits
on Street Work
Takes Advice Of City Attorney on
Bids and Ties Up Much
Improvement.

On the advice Of the legal department.
the democratic council has again over
stepped its limitations as fixed by the
charter in referring unopened bids for
street improvements.
The new charter contains a clause that
specifications must be approved by the
council. but It can enforce no ex post facto
rule. The old charter did not provide for
this approval and under the old charter
the engineer advertised for bids on certain
work and specified hat these bids should
be opened on March %, according to power
given him by the charter. But there were
several outside bidders for the work and
the opening of bids was passed for a week.
While the city attorney advised the coun-
Gil in the premises, the advice was directly
opposite to that given the street commits
sioner, who was told to pay no attention
to the new charter provisions until a duly
authenticated copy has been served on the
city.

SHIPPERS PUT ON WAR PAINT
Missouri River Men Will See About
1. c. G. Ruling.
CALL SECRET MEET FOR LINEUP
Decision Cuts BiR slice of Trade
Territory out OF Their Field
aud they Are Going
to Fight,

Missouri river shippers or their repre-
sentatives are going to meet in Kansas
City within a few days and see what they
can do about the ruling OF the Interstate
Commerce commission. which ef~fectually
cuts off a big slice OF trade territory in
western Nebraska, western Kansas, Colo
rado and Wyoming and presents it to Chi
cago and st. Louis.
The call is out for the meeting, but is
being kept secret and 1t not known when
the meeting will be held.
Kansas City is hit just as hard as Omaha,
and while the new rates give Chicago an
opportunity to get into western Nebraska
beyond a line drawn north and south
through Alliance, the rates which become
effective May will let St. Louis and Chi
cagu creep under the tent and capture a
slice from Kansas City.
When the decision was finally sorted out
by the shippers of omaha and Kansas City,
it was discovered that It was based very
largely on arguments advanced by the
Omaha. Kansas City and st. Paul jobbers
in seeking to get "a lower rate from the
east to the Missouri river. In the case
which is now before the supreme court the
Missouri river cities commended that the
Mississippi river should be wiped off the
map and rates made through to Missouri
river. The Denver shippers contended the
Missouri river should be wiped off the
map and rates made straight through from
Chicago and ST. Louis to Denver. The
commission thought the same thing,
Kansas City slippers declare they will put
on a boat line and thus defeat the advance.
Omaha shippers, so far as can be learned,
have not decided on any course of action.
The following are the old and new rates
from Chicago to Denver on the five classes:
