The Free Press regrets to be
compelled to publish the article
in another column on the Mani
festo". We heard of its circula-
ton and suggested to a mutual
friend that the manifesto be sup
pressed to avoid further discus
sion. 1t was not, so the paper
must defend its side of the case.
AS one party, who refused to
sign, said: Show me a word
that the paper has ever said as
AGAINST the SCHOOL; 1t may
have advocated Improvements;
it may have raized some one who
fought the paper; but it has had
in lots of articles praising the
school, its advantages and work.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

One of the many humorous in
cidents in Clyde Fitch's cleverest
comedy Girls that is to be presented
here by the Shuberts tonight at the
Grand, is the three Nominating young
ladies taking a solemn oath, with
crossed hat pins, to resist the bland
ishments of the sterner sex. Pam,
the strongest of the trio and the only
sincere one in her intention to re-
main unmarried, declares that she OBJ
tanned the idea of giving the oath,
with crossed hat pins. from seeing
Sarah Bernhard play Hamlet, =
adding "a woman makes the best
Hamlet anyway" When asked If she
had seen any one besides Bernhardt
play the part she replies, mo, but I
know she is the best The leader of
the men haters also has several other
arguments in favor of her sex. Some
of them are: men are always beasts
or too polite. In either case you need
police protection. Who are re-
sponsible for the late financial furry !?
Men. of course. Every place where
they said they wanted a man. Such
a lack of business judgment" That
the trio finally succumb to the charms
of the sterner sex goes without saying,

tons which follow one another in
quick succession.

TEST HEPRURN ACT.
Santa Fe Claims Carmack Amend
ment Is Unfair

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1S.-The manage
ment of the Santa Fee road has de-
cided to test the validity of the Car
mack amendment to the Hepburn act,
which places the liability for the loss
and damage of freight upon the initial
carrier. The matter will be taken to
the appellate court from the munich
pal court on a case in which ship
per tried to collect damages from the
Santa Fe, and did so, despite the fact
that it was shown that the damage
to the shipment occurred while it was
on the lines of the st. Paul road.
The shipment in question was one
of fruit from California, and the ship
per was furnished with proof to the
effect that the consignment was turn
ed over to the ST. Paul road in per-
feet condition. This fact was also
shown to the court and to the jury.
but under the law there was nothing
for the jury to do but to award dam
ages to the plaintiff. The question
which was raised in the municipal
court, and which will be raised in the
higher courts, is the constitutionality
of the provision of the Hepburn law.
1t is the contention of the Santa Fe
that the law is unconstitutional in
that it seeks to make an innocent par
ty responsible for the acts of another
party which is not even its agent.

Coffee is hidden but powerful enemy
to ones progress in life. Its subtle,
narcotic poison, weakens heart, inter-
feres with digestion and has a definite
and destructive effect on the nervous
system. People who are content to load
themselves with impediments to pro-
gress, who refuse to supply body with
food and drink of the kind needed to
make up for the daily disintegration of
nerve and brain tissue. must stand
aside in the race
The ones who are properly fed, will
surely win the laurels

phosphates of grain needed by Nature
to nour!sh brain and nerves with food.

minutes after boiling begins, it has a
delicious taste similar to the mild,

bad effects of coffee

careless as to what goes into the stom-
ach, but he one who would make all

called by the miners last February,

The work of cleaning out the mines

that all of the mines will be working
full time in about two weeks. The
agreement provides that the mines
shall pay $1.405s a yard for one side
entry. President Lewis of the United

settlement proposed and for that rea-

PACIFIC COAST OUTLET.
Burlington Trying to Purchase in on
the ID. & r. Co.


New York, Oct. 1S-Rumors are
prevalent here in railroad and finan-
cial circles to the effect that negotia-
tions are pending whereby the Bur-
lington may secure an outlet to the
Pacific Coast through purchase of an
interest in the Denver and Rio
Grand railroad. This would carry
with it part ownership of the West
ern Pacific, which is the Gould Pa
ciffc coast extension. The Hill line, it
is stated, is not looking to secure con-
troll of the Denver and Rio Grande,
but a joint ownership of that road.
A member of the Western Pacific is
quoted as saying that some such plan
may be worked out, but that it was
doubtful If anything would be done at
present. 1t was admitted that the
Burlington had been. approached on
the subject of purchasing a half in
terest in the Western Pacific, but had
not taken a very likely interest in the
proposition.
