AIMS AT LUMBER TRUST.
Representative Kull Introduces Such
Bill on Monday.

Representative Kull introduced in
the legislature last Monday drastic
measure prohibiting combinations,
trusts, pools or agreements to fix
prices between lumber dealers, and in
doing so makes the statement that the
buyer of lumber is helpless against the
gigantic pool in which almost every
dealer is involved.
The Kull bill provides that 'it shall
be unlawful for any person, company,
partnership, association or corporation
owning or operating any lumber yard
to enter into any agreement, contract
or combination with any other lumber
dealer, whether within or without the
state, for the fixing of prices at which
lumber should be sold, or to do or per-
nit to be done any act whereby the
free action of competition in the buy.
ing or selling of lumber is restrained
or prevented.
Any director, officer, lessee receiver
trustee, employe, clerk, or agent act
ing for or employed by lumber dealer
who shall violate any of the provisions
of the act or who shall aid and abet il
such violation, shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor and shall upon conviction be
fined a sum not less than $500 or more
than $1,000, or Imprisonment in the
county Jail for period not exceeding
six months, or both. 1t is made the
duty of the grand jury to ascertain il
there exists any pool, trust or combi-
nation in it's county.
The State Register in referring tc
the introduction of the bill says: "Mr.
Kull is democrat and foe Of trusts.
In speech on the floor of the house,
he recently attacked the American
Wire company as zone Of the worst OF
trusts"

EASY to Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York Daily paper, giving
simple prescription, which is said to
be positive remedy for backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, if
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescript-
ion, stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at
small cost from and good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Affections
with splendid results, he could see no
reason why it would not be splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary troubles
and backache, as it has a peculiar ac-
ton upon the kidney structure, cleans
ing these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste matter
which causes sickness and suffering.
Those of our readers who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it trial.
