tn surrounding country with record
OF good work well and promptly done
While the past year has been one OF
the most successful In its history the
growth of the business has been am
ply warranted. The people in and

Abilene and Dickinson county.
The. Steam Laundry not, only en-
ploys Is to 20 persons but brings
money here from a radius Of 40 to
100 miles to be spent in Abilene.
That means increased wealth for the
town and is something that should
be encouraged by the people OF Abb.

ton with, a capacity Of 300 to 400

can always be depended upon to do
the best kind of work. The service
given to the patrons Is the best and
this helps to build up the large trade.
calls are always answered
promptly and quickly and patrons
who use the phone always get most
Courte JUG treatment. Everyone IL
invited to visit the laundry and in
spect the machinery and methods.
]. r. Goodwin, who owns and man.
ages the laundry, Is thorough busl-
nessman and will DO other peoples
work as we'll as he does his own. This
is sure to win patronage and means
a great deal in the landry business.
EIt has developed the business from

to a large and we'll or
yanized institution employing a big
force of workmen. The shipment Of

document To carry out the conspir-
acy, it is charged, certain adjustments
in the directorate of the National
Packing company were necessary
To this end, the indictment says, a
meeting was held in Jersey City De-
cember IA, 1908, at which various di-
rectors of Armour & Co., Swift & Co.
and Morris & Co. were elected di-
rectors of the National Packing COM
pany, constituting a majority and
controlling the board. The Armour
interests were represented by J. Ogden
Armour, Connors and Meeker; Morris
interests by Edward Morris, Thomas
f. Wilson and X. X. McLaren, a resi-
dent director (McLaren was not in
dicted), and the Swift interests by
Edward f. and Louis +. Swift and L..
A. Carton.
The makeup Of the directorate Of the
National Packing company indicates
how wholly representative it is of the
great packing interests of the country,
while in turn the company owns the
capital stock of the following: Fowler

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Considera-
ton of the administration bill to create
a court of commerce and amend the
interstate commerce laws was con-
cluded today by the senate committee
on interstate commerce and it was re-
ported to the senate by Senator Elkins.
The majority report, carried by vote
of to d. recommends the passage Of
the bill practically as revised recently
by Attorney General Wickersham.
There will also be a minority report.
There were three absentees when the
committee met. They We're Tillman OF
South Carolina, F'ister of Louisiana
and Taylor of Tennessee. With these
Democrats absent the result was a
foregone conclusion, resulting as fol-
lows:
For the administration bill-Elkins of
West Virginia, Cullom of Illinois,
Aldrich of Rhode Island, Keans of New
Jersey, Crane Of Massachusetts and
Nixon of Nevada.
Against-Clapp. of Minnesota, CUM
minis of Iowa, Newlands of Nevada
and Hughes of Colorado.
The court of commerce feature seems
to be the rock upon which the house
committee split. This clause was con-
sidered by the house committee today
