WOMAN WILL TESTIFY
ABOUT BEEF TRUST

Chicago. February 12.-(Special. "A wo-
man employed by the National Packing
company, who is said to be conversant
with the secret workings of that COM
pany will be one of the chief witnesses
next week before the federal grand Jury
that is investigating the beef trust
Tn witness is said to be Miss Birdie
Hauber, one Of the stenographers in the
office Of President Edward Tilden.
1t IL expected that this witness will be
able to give additional Information re-
garding the absorption of the New York
Butchers Messed Meat company by the
National Packing company-the deal in
which Frederick Joseph was interested.
Miss Hauber is declared to be one of
the few confidential stenographers IN
the employ of the National Packing COM
pany. In the morning she is at the stock
yards and in the afternoon she works In
the office Of the National Packing COM
pany in the Rookery building.
At all times government secret service
men watched her. One man kept watch
| on her at home and another watched her
at work.
The grand jury will not be asked to
vote on indictments until all possible evil
dence has been heard and until the pro-
ceedings have received the Endorsement of
Washington. This probably will take an
other three weeks, making the six weeks
which Mr.. Sims originally estimated that
| the investigation would take.

The Vicksburg fire department worked
heroically. playing 10 streams of water on
the seething mass of flames for four or
five hours, never stopping until the flames
We're checked. The fire was famed into
proportions OF what was considered much
danger to a great many other nearby
buildings by hard northwest wind that
blew constantly from the Mulberry street
rear end of the burning stores, and as the
Vicksburg department seemed unable to
cope with the big blaze, Major Hayes
deemed 1t best to call for assistance from
Jackson. He called upon the mayor and
fire chief of that city and q detachment
OF the Jackson department was made
ready to come on a special train, and
then the order was countermanded, but
when the fire started out afresh in many
places the second appeal to jackson
brought Chief Cummins and IL men over,
reaching the city on a fast freight train
early In the afternoon. They assisted
Chief Wilks materially at the finish. as
the local men were tagged out by the long
strain they had been under.
The Valley Dry Goods company and
Kuhn Bros. stores were completely gut
ted.

NERVOUS ILLS.

Exercises conscientiously gone
through in your bedroom night and
morning, few breaths of fresh air,
and brisk, even walk, during which
care is peremptorily banished from
the mind, will either separately or
collectively accomplish as much, IL not
more, toward reducing nervous ills
than a sea voyage under the best
conditions.
Nervousness, unless it is of such
pronounced symptoms as to call for
the advice of a physician, will yield
to systematic physical training in
nine cases out of ten. Home exer-
else for the cure Of nervousness
should not be violent at first. Prac-
tice only such movements as raising
the arms from the sides to a point
above the head, all the bending move
ments of the upper body, chest ex-
pansion, and the simple raising Of the
legs, one at a time, toward front and
side. while in a standing position.
Such a course Of calisthenics, which
any woman could readily outline for
herself, would not have as its object
the development of one set of mus
cles. but it would raise the vital forces
as a whole by stimulating the entire
body at one time. Strike out, up
back and down with the arms; bend
front, back and towards the sides
with the body, and you have sue
ceeded in putting dozen sets of mus
Giles into play within the space OF
fey seconds.
Most essential Of all is the menta
attitude, which, if you expect to de
rive marked benefit. must be one o
complete Quiescence. Never shonlt
