BABIES SUBJECT TO
COUGHS AND COLDS
KICK OFF THE COVER AND
TAKE COLD.
How one Baby Was Cured Of a
Dreadful Cold BY Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.


All the world loves a baby and everyone
Is more or less interested in their health and
happiness. There probably never was q
baby that did not kick off the covers and
take cold; in fact, babies are particularly
susceptible TO colds and Group, and the favor
tie remedy for these ailments is Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t always gives quick
relief and Is pleasant and safe to take, in
fact, it contains nothing injurious. Mothers
have become acquainted with this fact and
do not hesitate to give it to their babies
when such a preparation is required. Mrs.
John d. Harmon, Of Melfa Station, Va,
says: "About two weeks ago our baby had
a dreadful cold, and at one time l feared 1t
would have pneumonia, but one of our
neighborsrtold. how Chamberlain's Cough
hemedy had cured her little boy, and l be.
gan giving IL to our baby at once and it soon
cured her. / had tried other remedies and
they all failed to do her any good. Our
baby Is now we'll and we heartily thank
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, for 1t cured
her. / cantfot recommend il too highly or
say too much in It's favor. / hope all who
read thh will try it and be convinced as ]
was"

of that stock which was originally issued
Z. In determining what will be reasonable
rates Tor the future, the commission may
properly consider that under the rates in
erect a large surplus has been accumulated
in the past, but II should not make rates
for the purpose of distributing that surplus
to the public.
s. The Importance Of the question whether
a railway shall be allowed TO earn a return
upon the unearned increment represented
in the value of it's right-of-way is illus
trated by the facts in this case, but is
not discussed or decided.
Hill Lines Earnings Excessive.
8. Upon an examination of the history of
these properties the cost of reproducing
them at the present time, the original cost
of construction, the present capitalization
and the manner In which that capitaliza-
ton has been made, It is held, that the
the Northern Pacific in recent years have
been excessive.
10. The only duty of the commission in
this case is to establish reasonable rates
from eastern points of origin to Spokane
and in so doing 1t can only ct upon those
rates specifically called to its attention,
although 1t must have in mind the effect
upon the revenues of these companies of
resulting reductions upon other commod-
tiles and at other points than Spokane.
II. The rates attacked are class rates from
st. Paul and Chicago to Spokan and
commodity rates upon thirty-four enunfer-
ated articles. Glass rates are established
from st. Paul to Spokane which are 1873
per cent less than those now in effect, and
class rates from Chicago to Spokane are
made higher than those from ST. Paul by
certain named arbitraries.
IL. nj case of all commodities except with
the present rate from Chicago to Seattle Is
established as a reasonable local rate from
St. Paul to Spokane. Upon five articles
somewhat higher rates are fixed. Rates
on these commodities from Chicago to Spo-
kane are made 1873 per cent above those
from st. Paul. Neither class nor commod-
ity rates are named from points east of
Chicago.
The order in this case will be made eff
fective on May l next.

MAJORITY GOING TOO STRONG
Many Begin to Sit UP and
Take Notice.

Many Democrats Begin to SIT Up and
Take Notice.
From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, March Especial 1.-THE dem
ocratic majority in the house Is awed at its
own audacity in making a part of a poll
tical machine out of the banks Of Nebraska,
as provided for in the bill commonly known
az a bill to guaranty bank deposits.
The amendments offered yesterday by the
republican minority evidently haunted some
OF the members last night, and today they
are beginning to wonder how the people will
take their action.
Most of these amendments were for the
purpose OF giving authority to the State
Banking board instead of comforting all
power in the hands of the governor. The
majority actually provided in the bill that
the governor should have the sole power
to say wherein the reserve funds of the
banks may be deposited. When the repub-
hcan leaders called attention to this enor-
nous power given to the governor, w. J.
Taylor refused to stand for the work of
his colleagues. and so this one section was
changed so that the money could be de-
posted in repositories approved by the
State Banking board.
Another amendment, which the minority
party oIIeTed ana which was rejected, was
providing that the board should have the
authority to call for reports Of the banks
in place OF the governor.
Under the bill now pending the governor
Is given absolute owe over every bank
in Nebraska
Last night a number OF democrats came
to the republican leaders and asked that
they be not blamed for the action OF the
majority party yesterday. and some OF these
are reported to have expressed themselves
as being opposed to giving the governor so
much authority.
1t is beginning to soak in on the majority
party that perhaps the guaranty provisions
in the bill will be little short Of worthless
in case OF panics. 1t is also beginning to
soak in on some OF the members that the
changes in the general banking laws have
been for the worse rather than the better.
For these reasons 1t is probable that when
the republicans offer their amendments to-
morrow the democrats will pay some atten-
tion to them. The bill is now In such shape
that practically all Of the republicans will
vote against 1t and many OF the democrats,
unless they are whipped into line with the
party lash. 1t IS not expected, however,
that many OF them will show sufficient in
dependence to 60 against the machine.
