Raising Measure Fails in
First Legal Test Of Its Val
idity.

Circuit Judge William Reed decld-
ed this morning that the city license
ordinance is valid. and dismissed the
suit OF Martin NJ. Coulson against
the city as well as the restraining
order to prevent the city from collect
ing city licenses In the suit of ID. e.
Wilson ct al against the city. IL
was a clear victory for the city and
Mayor Smith was congratulated. At
torneys Burns e. Burns. who brought
suit. announced today that they
would take an appeal on both cases
The suit was brought to test the
validity OF the city ordinance. claim
ing that IL was inconsistent and ex-
orbitant. Judge Reed decided that
the ordinance was valid with the ex-
ception OK one clause. which Is in
conflict with the state statute. The
license ordinances fixes the fine for
barber shops remaining open on Sun
day lower than does the state statute.
and hence was declared invalid on
this clause.
The suit TO test the validity OF the
ordinance was brought In the name
OF the Retail Merchants association.
Had the ordinance been invalidat-
ed. last years license ordinance
would have continued in effect and
the city revenue would have fallen,
perhaps $4,000 under the amount
'apportioned for the year. The ordi-
nance makes possible oiling the

the residents OF that section beyond
the Illinois Central tracks access to

meeting at 10 O'Clock this morning
TO make arrangements to fighi
against the house rules and Il now
seems possible that the rules will not
be voted on today. IL is expected the
delay will come from the regulars,
who are considering making a few
speeches to endeavor to show that
orderly legislation can not be had
under other rules. Insurgents are
delighted at the prospect, saying the
delay in the tariff legislation, should
any result, could be tracked to this
movement. Murdoch, of Kansas, in
surgent leader, said this morning:
"The program of the leaders will be
smashed"
Five insurgents, who attended the
Republican caucus, at which Cannon
was nominated, declare they do not
consider themselves bound by the
action. They say they intended to
leave the room before a vote was
taken, but the proposition was
damned through before they could
get to the door.
The Democrats held their caucus
this morning.
Moon Withdraws.
Washington, March 15.-Moon, OF
Tennessee. withdrew from the Demo
cratic caucus, saying he would vote
right. but objected to a caucus OF
Democrats, binding all members. He
said heretofore there had been con-
ferences.
Clark, of Missouri, the Democratic
leader, said: EVERY Democrat in
the house will vote for a change"
The fight over the rules has OBJ
scured interest in the real meeting of
congress. Even Taft has been so
busy over the fight he has not had
time to complete his special message,
which will be sent to congress tomor-
row.
The ways and means committee
met this morning to put the finishing
touches on the tariff bill. Payne an
nounced that the tariff bill will not
be presented until after the message
is read. Ex-Representative Watson,
of Indiana, is here helping Cannon
in his fight to retain his power and
announced this morning: 1--WE have
the insurgents beaten and the old
rules will be adopted"
Cannon is Caller.
Washington, March 15.-Cannon
was the first caller on President Taft
this morning. The matter OF the
of the house was dis
cussed.

BIRMINGHAM AND
iEDDYVILLE CASES !. y
HANG In BALANCE
May Not be Compromised Be-
fore April Term of Federal
Court.
Too Heavy Damages For Most
of Defendants.
DEBTORS OATH QUICKEST WAY

1t now seems doubtful whether the
night riderscases in federal court will
be compromised. The Birmingham
cases. which were continued last fall
until the April term to give time for
the execution of a compromise then
agreed upon, are dragging along with
little prospect of settlement before
the April term. The Eddyville cases
are in the same fix.
Attorneys Browning and Hazelip
for the plaintiffs in the Birmingham
case, attached money alleged to have
been paid into the bank at Birming-
ham by Lyon county defendants, and
believe they had tied up about 81 800
of total of $4,000. 1t was alleged
that the Marshall county defendants
had not contributed their pro rata OF
the compromise fund, and that some
of them had or were about TO use the
Lyon county funds in their private
transactions.
Too Many Suits.
1t is believed the Birmingham
cases would have been compromised
had not the Eddyvile suits been heap
ed on the same defendants. In the
Eddyville cases, everybody that could
in anyway be implicated through an
alleged general conspiracy of the as
ISOLATION to create a reign of terror,
was named as defendant In that
way many Of the alleged Birmingham
raiders were made defendants.
At first they evinced a disposition
to settle the cases and escape costs
and the publicity of trial. But II
would boot them nothing to. settle
one case and stand trial in another.
in fact, the compromise of one would
|embarrass them in the other trials.
II may be that some OF the conspicu-
Gus defendants in the Eddyville cases
will be glad to compromise, in which
event the smaller fry may come
across" in the Birmingham cases.
But as matters stand, they seem
inclined to stand trial, and take the
insolvent debtors oath in case of de-
feat.
IL Is reported that one of the prin-
|cipal plaintiffs in the Eddyville raid
has agreed upon a compromise of
$4,000 and when the terms were
settled upon he backed out and de-
manded $4,000.

It tells a very interesting story and is replete with pathos and humor, strong situations, clirnaxes. Flooded horses, trained especially for the stage, and a company of local militia will help make this production an epoch in the Poi All Star Stock Season.
 One of the happy features at Poli's during the Stock season is the Illus trated songs rendered at every per formance by that sweet voiced tenor, Ira Kessner, assisted by Master Joseph Daly. Their popularity with the Poli astic applause that greets them every latest slides this week.
 Miss Alice Fleming. who has the role of Helen Dare in Northern Lights' will surely be greeted by her large army of friends during this her last week at Polis.

SCALP |TCHED AND BURNED FOR YEARS
Child of Four Would Scratch Her Head for Hours When Fifteen 1t Got Worse Hair Came Off in Spots - Hundreds of Dollars Spent in Vain-Cuticura Soothed Like Cold Water on Burn and

"When was four years old hunor came out on my scalp. It would make a thick scab in one night, itching and burning terribly. My father spent a doctor who could cure this humor, but none of them could ever help it even a little bit. At the age of fifteen years I had the measles, and after that the soak my hair out before could comb it. My hair came of in spots and my head was in bad shape.
 About this time a friend of my My father took this advice and bought the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. l used them faithfully and to my surprise they water to a burn: In a week my head was clean from the scab but was very red and inf1amed but I had experienced more relief from the terrible itching and burning than eyer before did not ex- pect to be cured. as I thought that noth- ing could do that, but I had to use some thing all the time and Cuticura was cheaper than doctors.
 After some time. to my surprise, I awoke to the fact that my head was cured. It was as free from the disease as though I had never suffered. I am now forty-two and have never had any sign of my old trouble since was cured. I owe health, happiness and life to Cuticura. Every one thought it was in curable. I used to dream sometimes that I was cured but thought it never could be, but Cuticura made the dream come true. Fancy child sitting up in bed until ten or eleven o'clock scratch ing her headi I couldn't help it either, the itching was so terrible, night and day. It is a wonder I lived through it, but can prove all have written by my old neighbors. Mrs. Florence E. Ames Getchell, Box 5O3, Hallowell, Me. Feb. g and 3, 1909."
