Loss IN TONNAGE ON BEER.
Largely Made Up by Increase in
Whisky Shipments.

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 21.-Argu-
ments that have developed into
campaign asset of the Texas anti-pro-
hfbitionists were advanced before the
subcommittee of the western CLASH
fication committee in support of an ap-
plication for reduction in the rating
of alcoholic liquors in glass and boxed.
Reduction in classification would be
justified from the viewpoint of the
railroads on the ground of increasing
tonnage of case goods shipment. which
has lately been noticeably stimulated
by the expansion of prohibition agita-
ton.
R. NJ. Field of Peoria, traffic man
ager of Clarke Brothers & Co. and
Corning & Co., Illinois distillers. while
explaining the merit of this contention,
voiced the significant statement that
more whisky is moving on interstate
shipments into Georgia. Alabama and
the Carolinas today than the history
of wholesale liquor buS:ness hitherto
has shown. Answering the interpolat-
ed suggestion of one of the railroads
representatives. Mr.. Field declared
that the loss in tonnage on beer ship
ments is being made up largely by in
creased tonnage on whisky.

WORK PLANNED FOR OKLAHOMA
Four Lines of Railroads in All Stages
of Construction.

Bartlesviile, Okla. Jan. 21.-Present
indications are that there is going to
be rush of railroad building in this
part of Oklahoma early in the spring
and that Bartlesville is going to de-
rive more benefit from the work than
any other city in the state. There are
actually four lines of railroad in all
stages of construction headed this way
and each of the four is making Bar
tlesville it's objective point.
The four lines making preparation
to come this way are the Oklahoma &
Golden City, to run from Jefferson
City. No, through Bartlesville to
point on the Orient about fifty miles
west; the Senator Porter road from
Caney, Kan, to southwest Oklahoma,
through Bartlesville and Pawhuska;
the Usage & Western, the survey for
which has been completed from Enid,
through Bartlesville to Vinita, and the
Joplin Oklahoma & Pacific, the cover
lees road. The promoters OF this
proposition have arranged to come to
Bartlesville this month and decide
upon their plans here. They have all
of the information they need about the
route and expect to have something
definite to announce here.

The tonic treatment with DR.. vii.
iams' Pink Pills is distinct advance in
the treatment of all nervous disorders.
It succeeds where other treatments fail
because it is based on the sound medi-
cal principle that the health of the nerves
depends upon pure, red blood. By build
ing and purifying the blood DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills supply the nerves with
the vital elements they need.
The case of Mrs Elizabeth Shepherd,
of No. 1916 Washington street. Kansas
City, Mo-, is convincing proof of the
power of DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
cure even the most severe nervous dis
eases. She says:
II am glad to tell of my experience
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills / was
suffering from partial paralysis of theleft
side of my face, the trouble beginning
with a general breakdown of the ner-
vous system. First l had a severe ear
ache which came on very suddenly.
My left ear seemed to be held in a wise.
There was a prickling sensation through
out my head and left side of my face.
My eyes were affected and the left side
of my face became partially paralyzed.
The pains were very severe. I was
weak, could not get good nights rest
and lost in flesh. My circulation was
poor.
II was treated by doctors at Ossa-
watomie, Kansas, who pronounced my
af1iction partial paralysis. They gave
me only temporary relief. 1 also took

year of suffering, during which time I

appeared and took the pills until cured.

TAFT OR ROOSEVELT.
Jackson SAYS One or the Other Will
Do the Peoples VIII.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 21.-Several hum
dred insurgent Republicans from near
ly all sections of the state, represent
ing. as they said, the militant section
of the party in Nebraska, held their
initial rally in Lincoln last night. In
spired originally by Il movement i'll
opposition to United States Senator
Burkett, the meeting took no formal
action antagonistic to the senator and
the speeches contained only mild criti-
cism of him.
President Taft was declared to be the
victim of conditions surrounding him in
congress, but the speakers pledged their
faith in the president, saying that in
the more than three years he had yet
to serve there was reason to believe
he would prove himself true to the
cause of the people. Denunciation of
the new tariff law was the keynote of
the speeches. Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon came in for the chief
criticism.
Attorney General Fred S Jackson of
Topeka, Kan, who was the principal
speaker. dwelt on the necessity of a re-
vision of the house rules and the full
fillment of the tariff pledges of the
party. He said that either the next
congress and President Taft must fulfill
these policies or Theodore Roosevelt
and another congress would do the
work later. The mention of Mr.. Roose-
velt's name brought loud applause.

for an adjustment of the wage scale,
there is no intention on the part of the
brotherhood to resort to a strike at
this time.
Seventy-two of the railroads affect
ed have requested that committees of
the trainmen meet them in negotia-
tons. Several have submitted counter
propositions. Beginning tomorrow, the
lines involved will confer with the Of

ward attaining an amicab1e settlement.
